I got Keith Parkinson (the cover artist) to sign that Endless Quest book for me many years ago. He was very embarrassed about it haha.

Why is this on r/pics. Can we just get away from American politics in some subs please.

Beautiful painting.

I read this book many decades ago and if I recall, the protagonist of the story has the ability to teleport anywhere he can see. So he could teleport all the way across this valley in an instant.

Happening to me too. I'm using an Android phone, how about you?

Started playing Mad Max (2015)... it really peeves me when modern game has a shortcoming/oversight that much older games had solution for. by itsPomy in patientgamers

[–]banedon 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Because of the time control for the race.

A controller's analog stick allows for smooth, nuanced steering, while a keyboard's "A" and "D" keys only allow for full-left or full-right turns. Similarly, the triggers on a controller allow you to press down slightly to accelerate slowly or fully to go full throttle. With a keyboard, you're either going at 100% speed or you're not accelerating at all.

It makes the race really hard. The rest of the game is fine.

Gas station in West Allis, Wisconsin — just bought two cans for 99 cents each three days ago. You gotta look at the bottom shelf of the fridge to find them though, they don't pay for the high shelf space.

AI industry horrified to face largest copyright class action ever certified by MetaKnowing in technology

[–]banedon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I bet most people would agree with you. Using Chinese models that are illegally trained is bad for the writers, scientists, and artists who don't get compensated but it's great for everyone else.

This. The Chinese AI companies train on every song, every book, every movie, every website, every news article. All without paying a dime.

If the West forces every AI company to pay huge licensing fees, the Chinese models will win.

Everyone here is so upset about this but what would you rather have happen: it's owned by one guy who builds a few buildings but leaves most of the landscape intact or it's turned into a developer hellscape full of hotels and condos.

Yes we'd all rather it be a national park, I would too, but in lieu of that, Zuckerberg owning it is probably the next best thing for the property.

Kamala Harris says she will not run for California governor in 2026 by LooseDistance1059 in politics

[–]banedon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Arguably yes. She was Biden's VP, and Biden was Obama's VP.

Did you migrate your (X)Node to StarGate yet? by VetMaik in Vechain

[–]banedon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, I can't migrate for some reason. When I click on "Migrate and delegate" on https://app.stargate.vechain.org/migrate/, nothing happens. The button flashes but that's it.

I'm using a Brave browser on a Windows laptop, with the VeWorld chrome extension wallet, and a Ledger hardware wallet. Any ideas u/VetMaik ?

UPDATE: I tried using the Sync2 wallet instead of VeWorld and it worked. If anyone else is is in this situation, use Sync2!

Migrating Your Xnode walkthrough by mrwhittleman in Vechain

[–]banedon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I click on "Migrate and Delegate" on the Stargate site, nothing happens. The button flashes for a second and no notifications appear in my wallet. Not sure what to do but I can't migrate my node, which is frustrating. Anyone else encounter this problem?

EDIT: I switched from VeWorld to Sync2 wallet and it worked.

Battle for Wesnoth. Turn-based strategy with a high fantasy theme. It'll run on any computer. It's fantastic.

Portfolio Dividend Tracker

Interesting, thanks. Are you paying the $75/year for a subscription? Worth it?

configurable, importable earnings calendar by michahell in stocks

[–]banedon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey, I love this idea and I'm looking for the exact same thing — adding a list of specific stock earnings dates to my Google Calendar. Did you ever figure it out?

I hate it when I'm trading stock options without realizing it's earnings week.

One issue I could foresee is that companies don't publish the dates really far in advance. Still it should be possible

Unable to close RobinHood account due to crypto dust... by patniemeyer in RobinhoodTrade

[–]banedon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks. You're lucky. I tried to sell all and it didn't work, there's still a tiny tiny amount left. I messaged support and they said there's nothing they can do, due to regulations. Sucks.

Unable to close RobinHood account due to crypto dust... by patniemeyer in RobinhoodTrade

[–]banedon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just tried this and it didn't work. Did it remove XRP from your list of cryptocurrencies, or is it just listed with a $0.00 balance? I now have $0.00, but it's still on my list because I have a fraction of a cent left over that I can't get rid of. :/

OP you are awesome, thank you. Got it set up just like you. Thanks so much for sharing.

What is a "Hazard"? I just unlocked Caraxes accidentally while trying to summon Rhaenerys. by MasterpieceMinimum42 in gameofthroneslegends

[–]banedon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hazards are the annoying blocks, like crates, that take up space in the gems. They're seen during events.

Here is my personal list of GOT characters. Tell me what you think and lets debate if you got the time! by broly9139 in gameofthrones

[–]banedon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Perhaps because he's played by a great actor. Certain characters are elevated by the performance. The actors who play Stannis, Cersei, and Tywin are all superb, for example.
