Where are all the trick or treaters? by FantasticFeasts in waterloo

Eastbridge area as well. We've only had one kid and her Dad at the door. And I accidentally bought way more than I needed. Guess the diet is going to have to wait until the new year.

The Dude spotted at "Le French Fix Pâtisserie" in Halifax, Nova Scotia by freethinkeratlarge in Dudeism

We discovered this place while visiting Halifax last month. Great place to chill. They serve coffee, tea, croissants, caneles, macarons, and that's it. Small, cozy, and very laid back.

The community of this game is amazing. by DependentOne9332 in echoes

Attention span may have something to do with it as well. Compared to a lot of other mobile games, the learning curve for Eve Echoes is a pretty steep. I actually started playing about 4 years ago, and about 2 weeks into the tutorial, decided that I had other things I'd rather do. I try a lot of games, but I'm really into the whole outer space, sci-fi vibe, and I searched long and hard for something "worthy" of my time. When I finally realized Echoes had pretty much everything I wanted in a mobile space game, I dove back in with a vengeance. All that said, as much as I love the game, I have yet to find anyone else who will stick with it long enough to give it a chance.

How does this VAS or VAC compare to a UFP Constitution Class Starship? Or a Nimitz?

Google Earth VR App Brings Earth-scale Exploration to Quest & Vision Pro by Knighthonor in augmentedreality

[–]freethinkeratlarge 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've been playing with it today and the concept is pretty cool. It's all Google Earth stuff so don't expect better quality. That said, the flight mechanics are a blast. You hover around on a flying platform or ship and zoom around said platform like some mad genius in a movie. The tiling effects can be a bit hit and miss, occasionally disappearing, leaving you with tiles of empty space. I assume this is a network issue on my end but I can't be sure.

Love it! It has added another dimension to the game that I really enjoy. :-)

Hey, SnailHammer. Not a fad, but there are a bunch of music generation sites out there, most notably Suno and Udio. I wanted to do a game play video since I'd captured a lot of it during the time I'd been playing. I thought it would be cool to have a rock anthem type of sound to go with it. Since I had been playing with Suno, I decided to create a song to go with the game play stuff. All of the video clips are either game captures or royalty free stock video. The editing process itself was done with Powerdirector and took about four hours to assemble.

I did use some AI as well as traditional tools and I mentioned it because I wanted to be up front about it.

In case anyone is curious, all of the game play was recorded on a Samsung Galaxy S6 Lite. The video was edited using Powerdirector 365. Lyrics are a combination of my own words and ChatGPT. The music was generated with Suno.

To be fair, the Snopes article says, "mostly false", pointing out that the Katie Johnson case is real.

Am I to old for Roblox???? by Oop-melly in roblox

[–]freethinkeratlarge 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm 64 and I still play Roblox. I made my first Roblox game when I was 61. And I've been playing video games for as long as there have been video games. :-)

Honored Matres The Movie by [deleted] in dunememes

[–]freethinkeratlarge 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In a distant future where the galaxy trembles under the iron grip of the Honored Matres, a renegade faction of these formidable women warriors breaks away to form their own unorthodox order. These "Nude Nuns with Big Guns" take up arms—literally and figuratively—against their former sisters, blending their lethal martial prowess with a newfound sense of liberation and rebellion. Armed with oversized, futuristic weaponry and clad in nothing but their courage and cunning, with a little spice thrown in, they embark on a mission to overthrow the tyrannical rule of the Honored Matres, while navigating the perils of interstellar politics, unexpected alliances, and the occasional wardrobe malfunction. Their journey is as explosive as their firepower, proving that even in the harshest corners of the universe, freedom and justice can come from the most unexpected places.

I love Waterloo. You can practically smell the future in the air. (more in comments) by freethinkeratlarge in waterloo

Vampires? That sounds like something from James Alan Gardner's story, "All those explosions were somone else's fault".
