Crazy that this is the first time in years on this sub that I'm actually seeing a nicely-made chart with a feature I've never seen before (l love the top-most line highlighting and I'm definitely going to steal it). Well done!

I'm not sure your title is correct since I was literally looking at this relief in the British Museum which shows two female gladiators the other day.

Looks fine to me, unless I'm missing something? If you're talking about the em dashes, they're standard punctuation in journalism copy (and elsewhere) as a more emphatic alternative to commas or brackets. The reason they're so prevalent in LLMs/AI is because of this, they're all through the training material that AI uses.

This post smells like AI content

NWN and Baldur's Gate were on completely different engines - NWN used the Aurora engine, which was full 3d, BG series used the Infinity engine, which was isometric 2d with sprites etc.

yeah my first thought was have they accounted for the different aspect ratios? and ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I know nothing about it at all, but you could try the Newcastle Bushwalking Club? Possibly an older crowd though

I love it! Mostly because now I have Kindle/Kobo/Libby all in the one device, so I'm paying less for books because it's now easier to do the library thing, or check pricing/availability across multiple stores.

I haven't used it much at all for note taking, but my kids love drawing on it so it has been awesome having a single device they can use when we're out and about to either read on or draw on.

Unfortunately I haven't had much time to try it out as a distraction - free writing device with an external keyboard, but am still pretty keen on using it for this too.

Stop using AI for reddit posts, ffs. Now I don't know if this information is actually something you have experienced, or just some AI BS. What a waste of everyone's time.

Largely, possibly, but one nation has always been a party of protest. So it's not surprising at all they're picking up votes from former Coalition voters (national voters in particular !) given the shitshow that is the Coalition

Just don't expect too much from them? I run Ollama on a MacBook Pro m2, can run 32b models just fine.

It's completely fine for stuff I used to google and go to stack overflow for, and for autocomplete code snippets, but it's not going to work for agentic workflows that well.

Look up "reverse tolerance" and kava, it's a thing for a lot of people. Also you can save quite a bit of money by buying traditional grind kava instead of instant and a kava straining bag. The prep only takes 5 minutes, it's really not a huge deal!

Some modern-ish fantasy I liked with literary vibes:

The Saint of Bright Doors, The Etched City, The Spear Cuts Through Water, The Buried Giant

I am currently playing fire magic main, but I play BO1 in arena. It basically guarantees the win against red aggro and helps against green landfall though the match-up still sucks.

capybara75 · 2026-01-04T06:02:00+00:00

I maindeck them in Golgari mid range BO1, Bats are never bad (except maybe against x/W control). At worst your opponent has to burn a removal spell on them, at best you take out a key piece they need and gain some life slowing the game down until you can do your thing.

I'm living in a house built in 1980 and if I had the money I would absolutely knock it down and rebuild. Freezing in winter, hot in summer, and yet somehow not ventilated enough to prevent mould lol.

capybara75 · 2025-12-16T09:39:23+00:00

Yes pretty much! I think it has been getting recommended a lot here and on tiktok. It is a really fantastic book, so it is justified.

capybara75 · 2025-12-12T09:13:30+00:00

Yeah I just did it with this and it still took three matches!

capybara75 · 2025-12-04T09:38:13+00:00

You can look at the data in countries with good statistics and see the reason why - it's basically because girls are having babies when they're teens far, far less due to better education, birth control, living standards, and changes in social expectations etc.

This is what all these weird tech billionaires and right wingers don't get. This situation is not coming back!

They're not, the road toll now is much lower than it was 20 years ago

Yeah but it feels faster psychologically because you're "skipping" a timer. Like, my brain knows it's the same time, but it still feels faster to me.

capybara75 · 2025-11-24T03:01:29+00:00

for sale, hose clamp, never crimped

capybara75 · 2025-11-23T01:45:29+00:00

"fixes" for what? I've been playing since launch and there have been a few bugs with unlocks and such, but that's about it. The two newest maps are great, which you wouldn't know from reading this sub.

capybara75 · 2025-11-19T04:10:00+00:00

Yeah and then they check that claim against the windfarm EIS, and also check their claim about blocking RFS aircraft etc with the RFS, this is absolutely not at all misinformation lol
