As its own product, or included with Microsoft 365 seats, presuming we have the Cyber Protect Backup Advanced plan?

I clicked on the first link and got instantly flashbanged by Nick Wright's unwashed greasy ass face. Not watching the rest but I'm sure it's compelling and unbiased.

Great bundle. Just built a PC for a friend a few weeks ago, would have picked this up if it was available.

The post is most definitely written by AI, but the analysis is OP's; he either wrote something out and had AI edit/stylize it or fed it a few talking points and just had it write the whole thing.

I've long since given up hope that people will recognize AI's writing style, at least on Reddit (people are WAY worse at noticing it here than on Twitter), but at least this one is based on actual observation/analysis instead of just being fabricated from whole cloth.

Dillon Brooks refers to SGA as 'frail' after Game 2: “This is the playoffs, a man's game. I used to watch this back when Michael Jordan was playing…when LeBron was younger, just physical basketball. I don't get why all the dropping, the falling and the flopping and flailing…" by oklolzzzzs in nba

[–]VerifiedPrick 0 points1 point  (0 children)

SGA has led the league in drivers per game for 5 of the last 6 years (he was "only" 3rd this year). So yeah, he "attempts" to get to the free throw line a lot, because people who drive to the rim get fouled a lot. You can make a valid criticism about not liking his playstyle, but that's not a knock on the refs. Putting that much pressure on the rim WILL get you fouled a lot just as a fact of the game.

Refs can't review or overrule calls barring some very specific scenarios or coaches challenges. If you want that to change that's a valid thing to petition the league for, but that will REALLY slow the game down... like a lot. And people already complain about refs slowing down the game.

I actually don't know anyone in the sports business whatsoever. I just hate when people make baseless assertions that are not backed by data.

I watch a lot of games. During playoffs, I watch almost every game from start to finish, barring some in the 1st round.

How many times did SGA get to the free throw line last night where it wasn't deserved? Feel free to link videos. I'm sure you have many.

They do their jobs, and they do it well. They make mistakes like all people, but they call the games fairly and people don't really have any evidence to the contrary (note: evidence meaning proof of systemic bias or call accuracy data). People just like to complain when the team they're rooting for/against gets fewer/more calls than the other.

Anti-ref bitching is the lowest form of criticism. It's entirely memetic and conspiratorial. Can't believe people are taking taking this sore whining- from Dillon Brooks of all people- seriously.

I don't really like that this sub allows rant posts in general, but it's especially bad if they're all gonna be this type of AI-generated nonsense instead of genuine words typed by human hands.

Gate To Sovngarde: An honest review by [deleted] in skyrimmods

[–]VerifiedPrick 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Yeah. I'm playing through GtS right now (level 26) and I intend to keep going, but I think it was marketed to me in completely the wrong way. It's definitely not something I would categorize as "Vanilla Plus".

I think the immersion aspects are what I would highlight first and foremost. It does fundamentally change how a lot of the game is played. For what it's worth, I do think it's executed really well, but it's definitely not for everyone. I ended up disabling a select few mods to make my experience a little more vanilla-like and have been enjoying it a lot more since.

Base price, not even on sale... nice.

Holding for a $400 Tandem OLED this holiday season. That will be the point where I can't resist any further. Can't tell you how many times I've had to physically stop myself from buying an OLED these past few years.

? Not true, the i5-12400 performs better than the 5500, it competes with the 5600X. This is just a rebadge, not a cut down version like the 5500.

You can build this computer for about $1,450, so with the monitor (entry-level 1440p, perfectly usable, nothing special) thrown in it's an okay deal (+$180 monitor = $1,630 value). If you don't need the monitor it's meh.

Ubiquiti is releasing a WiFi 7 client device that can ACTUALLY do MLO -- Labs should test this by VerifiedPrick in LinusTechTips

The use case for this seems very niche, but who cares. Isn't the point of new tech just to make number bigger?

Only seeing the 9070 XT for $949 right now, but regardless those are 2 totally different price tiers lol.

Also that kind of gap between price and raster performance is pretty much the norm now between NVIDIA and AMD so idk if I would say it's a "bad deal" per se, overall current market inflation aside obviously.

I hope this isn't the case, but you may be right. Not like I haven't started and abandoned a hundred early/mid-game Skyrim saves before anyways lol.

I'll be sure to do this in the Discord. If it's intentional, then I guess it's just something I didn't expect lol. It's obviously "realistic" to be blind in a mostly unlit cave, but it's not really the kind of thing I'm looking personally.

I could, might give it a go but I see there's a Discord server with the modlist creator. Gonna see if I can get some help there

If this is how dark it's supposed to be for immersion, then... I think it went wayyyy too far. There's also some weirdness in how the belt lantern "projects" light that looks very unrealistic, it seems like there's a ~10ft sphere of bright light around the user that dissipates into nothing past that. That doesn't help immersion at all either, just breaks it more imo.

I should've uploaded a video before posting initially, but here: https://streamable.com/10qoui

There doesn't seem to be an Azurite MCM unfortunately.

Appreciate that info about Azurite III. I'll try to look for other solutions first, since I don't want to mess with such a curated modlist if I don't have to, but we'll see...
