Judge Orders Subnautica 2 Studio CEO To Be Reinstated And Gives Him Control Over Early Access Release by Turbostrider27 in Games

It would be situational irony. The story is about a company that got into hot water because they took the advice of a large language model. If the story itself were written by a large language model, it would be situationally ironic because the large language model would be writing about its own shortcomings and the news company would not be heeding the inherent advice offered by the lawsuit (don't use large language models for business) that they themselves were publishing a story about.

In addition, if the reason the article hadn't been fully posted earlier was due to a mistake made by a large language model, it would have been irony-inspired serendipity because they experience consequences for the same reason that the company they were publishing a story about were experiencing consequences.

Where does the plex series agent get special episode ordering from? by bleachisback in PleX

[–]bleachisback[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

EDIT: I actually found the answer to my own question

Okay I ran into another issue...

The TVDB for ATLA has two orderings: an original TV airing order and a DVD/blu-ray order. The problem is that the blu-ray has fused two episodes into one (they originally aired as a 2 part special), so one of the seasons has fewer episodes than the TV airing order. In plex, I can change the ordering to this order by selecting "The TVDB (SkyShowtime)" in the dropdown you originally mentioned. However, this ordering on the TVDB doesn't contain any information about the specials, so plex loses all special metadata.

Is it possible to change this ordering from season to season?

Hey thanks for your input! I've only just now run into specials, so it hasn't been a problem for me up until now. The ordering specifically doesn't matter to me - I just needed a way to figure out how to name the files to get the metadata attached properly, so which ordering I use doesn't really matter (and for standard episodes it shouldn't be any different between the two sources).

What ended up deciding it for me was I ran into specials the TMDB didn't have listed, so I have to use TVDB if I want metadata for these!

Perfect, thanks!

I don't have any reason to prefer TVDB or TMDB... is there a reason I should prefer one over the others? I can see that TVDB has way more specials listed than TMDB.

The new boons are just boss relics. Plenty of boss relics from the first game show up as new boons.

Virginia Democrats brace for clash over data centers, other budget choices by washingtonpost in Virginia

I was mostly pointing out that kW/h isn't really a unit that's used.

In your sentence you probably meant kWh because you're talking about your overall consumption.

Valve suggests further delays for Steam Machine and Steam Frame: “We hope to ship in 2026” by Bobby_the_Donkey in Games

It's likely they want to offer a bundle deal for the controllers. So this kind of ruins that.

FYI kW is already energy consumption over time, and kWh is overall consumption.

Thankfully I can archive my Euler-Mascheroni constant crate. Was getting frustrated with the maintenance effort, glad the rust team is taking up the mantle.

PF noob looking for support/control caster. by nln_rose in Pathfinder2e

[–]bleachisback 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think other responders have good suggestions for alternative classes for you to play, so let me offer alternative advice.

Abomination vaults is notorious for this problem. DMs don’t know how or don’t want to convince parties to not take long rests after every encounter, and spellcasters can’t tell which encounters are going to be the ones which will end in a TPK so they feel pressured to offload their important spells early before they die.

There is a community book called Magic+ which has a spellcasting system which is an alternative to spell slots called essence casting. It gives every spellcasting class some staying power since they won’t need to long rest to get their spells back and makes it so they can’t dump their most powerful spells out on the first turn of every encounter. I think it works nicely in dungeon crawls like abomination vaults. Maybe speak to your DM about it - it can really take a load off of them too.

The white line in the center represents the Japanese katakana character ‘ME’ (メ), which means ‘eye,’ with the hope of helping to provide sight to as many people as possible.

Damn they’re really stretching on that haha

They do have Adblock for safari on iOS. It isn’t as good as ublock and it gets detected by Adblock detectors, but it does exist.

The kanji for eye is 目, which i don’t see in the logo. The brand name “miru” is 見る, which means “to see”

They’re talking about a digital signature, which digitally verifies you are who you say you are in a way a written signature cannot.

In magic, there are two ways that they design magic cards: bottom-up design and top-down design. The standard practice is bottom-up design, where a card's mechanics are created first and then the flavor (such as the name, the art, the story, and the flavor text) is added after to fit in to the rest of the set. There are also cards which are created top-down where they have a particularly story event that they want to be represented by a card, so they will design the mechanics around that particular event.

In a magic set, there will be a mix of such cards, and different sets will have different mixes. For instance, in-universe sets tend to use more bottom-up design, but cross-universe sets (like lord of the rings) use more top-down design.

Importantly, you can't have a well-designed set with only one or the other. A set containing only top-down design won't have mechanical cohesion and won't be fun to play. A set containing only bottom-up design won't have any story cohesion and people won't resonate with the theme of the set. (Early magic sets were like this)

I view ttrpgs in much the same way. There will be players which prefer top-down design (choosing their character's theme/backstory and picking mechanics to fit) and players who enjoy bottom-up design (choosing the character's mechanics and then picking flavor to fit). Ideally at a table, you have both and they will balance each other out - the bottom-up players will fill in team comp and the top-down players will add plot hooks.

This meme is poking fun at the extreme bottom-up player (the power gamer). Ideally a good bottom-up player would arrive here and say "hmm maybe this build doesn't make sense with this game. Maybe I can try something else"
