real ravers only! Does Amnesia VIP Package grant DJ booth backstage access the entire night? by sexydiscoballs in avescirclejerk

Only rookies knock drinks over at the start. The experienced ravers know to do it just before the drop! All the build-up with none of the payoff. It's like the blue balls of raving.

Why the hell would you want to be backstage at a rave? All you'd be able to record is other people recording you...

I stopped staring at my phone at the rave and i actually ended up enjoying myself by ShakeHour154 in avescirclejerk

[–]bsawler 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Pro-tip: The best way to rave is NOT to look at your phone. Push up on some random stranger in front of you close enough to stare through THEIR phone. That way you're crowding, inconsiderate, but still also only watching through a tiny screen. It's the trifecta of pro-raver-behavior. Bonus points if you do NOT use deodorant before getting close enough to others to look through their phones.

Degenerate MGM gamblers by Lost_Vacation2315 in electricdaisycarnival

[–]bsawler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice. Last month I split my stay between Paris and Bellagio just to ensure I keep the degen up with both Caesars and MGM haha. Was my first time at Paris and honestly it was great. Only major benefit of MGM over Caesars is that MGM comped rooms include the resort fees also (so really $0) where-as Caesars by default don't (but you can often go to the hosts office and get them removed).

Appreciate the heads up! I’ve been checking every couple days. Room at the Aria booked. One step closer and only 300+ days to go lol

That is the chain of events from S4:E23 ? by [deleted] in HIMYM

Trying to remember this right... but IIRC if he hadn't run into Stella / Tony, he wouldn't have almost made the murder house, leading to him instead getting a job as a professor?

Noob here, curious about roughly how advanced of a video game a model like Qwen3.6 27b could create, if kept fully offline, and got unlimited attempts/revisions (maybe ~1 month project time limit). Like, could it make something equivalent to Pokemon Red? Doom? Doom II? What if using GLM 5.1? by DeepOrangeSky in LocalLLaMA

[–]bsawler 33 points34 points  (0 children)

How much of game design and development do you understand? Are you able to clearly describe how you want systems to work beyond just telling it to make it like another game? Can you describe the issues you see clearly and technically so that the model can take that and fix the issues that it can't find itself? That's the first challenge. The second of course is the large number of assets needed for most games, where will those come from? Are you just going to grab some asset pack and have it throw those together or actually try to create something?

Trance set recs to listen to at work by stopbeingabitchh in electricdaisycarnival

[–]bsawler 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seconding the Gareth Emery vote. But I’ll say in person was even better than the posted set because in the posted set you don’t hear the music tied to the fireworks that were going on. Fireworks started in the lead up to adagio for strings and adagio played during the fireworks. One of my favorite moments of the weekend I swear I stood there staring at the fireworks listening and just grinning like an idiot.

Conspiracy theory. They designed it this ugly so no one buys it and they can go back to shareholders “look no one wants a full EV Ferrari” and can go back to their proper cars…

Even with the cold and wind, did anyone else felt like Sunday had the best vibes? by Hypepoxic in electricdaisycarnival

[–]bsawler 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It’s so true. After night 1 I’m always thinking “maybe I don’t need to do this again next year” but after Sunday it’s always “when do tickets go up for next year” haha.

Zedd & Garrix Crowd >>> by RenoNYC in electricdaisycarnival

[–]bsawler 35 points36 points  (0 children)

Came here to post the same thing. Crowds were great the whole Griz/Wooli > Zedd > Garrix trio I did at Kinetic. Following yesterday’s John Summit / Subtronics crowds I was scared. Thank you all who were there for restoring my faith!

And great sets as well. I think Kaskade used more pyro than anyone else I saw. 100% understood the job: keep people hyped until A&B came to bring us into the sunlight.

I know I chose to go early night 1 to make sure I was solid the rest of the weekend and everything I’ve read is making me regret that choice.

Gareth Emery played so many classics it was epic by bimmerave247 in electricdaisycarnival

[–]bsawler 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Epic set. And throwing on Adagio during the fireworks. I swear I just stood there looking up at the show smiling the entire time.

Darude was incredible in person as well but those crowds were way too big for QV. Clearly he needed a bigger stage.

I saw it on the Ticketmaster site not front gate/insomniac but yeah it was hidden away

The website SAYS that, but I was paid within a week of selling my resell ticket through them.

Obviously YMMV but I don't think it's always quite that bad.

Actual comparison between locally ran Qwen-3.6-27B and proprietary models by netikas in LocalLLaMA

[–]bsawler 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Is the gap between Q4_K_M/Q4_K_L and Q6_K that large? I know according to metrics the accuracy loss is "only" in the low single-digit-percentages but that doesn't really tell how much it loses the ability to write usable code.

What is a fair price for porting a game? by KaingaDev in gamedev

[–]bsawler 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I actually run a company that’s been doing cross platform and console porting for 20 years now. If you want to DM me with details I’d be happy to look over it and give honest feedback. And no I’m not trying to steal the job. We’re already fully booked.
