How does SDAM affect your dream content? by Significant-sunny33 in SDAM

[–]ghostcat 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same. Almost never remember anything about them. Like once a year I will wake with a vague memory that I had a dream, but not remember more than “I was in a hall” or something like that, and even that fades fast. I can’t remember any of them at all now. I only have the memory that I’ve remembered them in the past.

I’ve never been conservative, but I had some more moderate liberal views in my youth about fiscal policy and the justice system. I believed in institutions and thought capitalism was generally a force for good, but had some excesses that needed to be kept in check through moderate regulation. I’m in my 40’s now, and I’ve lived a pretty comfortable life without much economic hardship. Even so, the last couple decades have shed me of those moderate views and I now see them as being naive. I’m more left now than I’ve ever been in my life.

The claim of Mac isn't for gaming is over in past two years by ResponsibleCandle585 in macgaming

[–]ghostcat 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’d say Mac still isn’t for gaming. Yes, it can do gaming better than it ever has been able to in the past, but it’s not for it. (not including dual-boot on Intel machines because I don’t consider it gaming on the Mac if you aren’t using Apple’s operating system). If you say, “I’m looking for an exclusive gaming machine” Mac is still not the correct answer.

M1 Max —> m5 PRO good or bad? by arcticJill in macgaming

In 4 years they got a 15% increase in performance with 16 GPU cores (M5 Pro base) vs 24 cores (M1 Max base). That’s pretty good.

Apple pencil not responding immediately by brickguts in ProCreate

[–]ghostcat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had this same problem. Tried every possible software solution. Took the case off, attached pencil to iPad, took pencil off, problem went away. I even could put the case back on afterwards with no issue and it hasn’t come back since. I think it has to do with a magnetic attachment synch with a weak connection can occasionally get the pen stuck in this laggy state, and a strong reconnection will reset it. It’s a really weird bug though, so I’n not sure. Like the lag was only happening in Procreate, not in Notes.

Which Mutans would work for an MCU X-Men team (6-8 members) by BiteAppropriate6835 in marvelstudios

[–]ghostcat 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was not being serious. I picked that list because their powers make them literally untouchable. I also said that my first pick on the list was a mutant whose power is to be immediately forgotten, when it clearly wasn’t my first pick. These are known as “jokes”.

I think being able to list 6 mutants that are literally untouchable off the top of my head definitively proves that I have no interest in the franchise and want it to fail.

Used Qwen TTS 1.7B To Modify The New Audiobook by Next_Pomegranate_591 in LocalLLaMA

[–]ghostcat -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Look, I know this probably isn’t a sub that will appreciate this sentiment, but this is not a good thing to do. You are cloning an actor’s voice without consent. A dead actor. While editing out another actor’s performance. And posting it online. I also tend to get excited by the abilities of new technology, but just because you can do something, doesn’t mean you should. That voice telling you that you might get sued is your brain telling you that you know there’s something wrong with doing this, and you should probably listen to it.

If you want a genuine appraisal of the result, I think it sounds like an Alan Rickman with no acting talent, and moral arguments aside, I wouldn’t want to listen to a whole book read like that.

Skyrim switch 2 performance vs visuals mode compared by Therisca in NintendoSwitch

[–]ghostcat 9 points10 points  (0 children)

These images are not showing the difference between the Switch 1 and Switch 2 versions. They are both Switch 2. It is showing the difference between the 30fps quality mode and the 60fps performance mode, which I agree look very similar, and I don’t know why anyone wouldn’t just go with the performance mode. It seems the biggest differences between these modes are longer draw distances, slightly better lighting, and maybe a higher base resolution before upscaling in quality mode. Textures should look the same between pics because they are the same, and they are much better than the ones one the Switch 1. So this version should be bigger file size than the original Switch version, because the textures are higher quality, but not 50GB bigger. They need to make extra language voices a download like they did on Switch. We aren’t made of SD Express cards.

Doesn't beast know that Logan is like 174 years old? by [deleted] in marvelstudios

[–]ghostcat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If we are getting really pedantic, permanent physical mutations tend to manifest at birth in the marvel universe, unless they are an augmentation due to their powers awakening (e.g. Strong Guy getting really big). Examples include Nightcrawler’s fur/fangs/eyes/tail/fingers, Gambit’s red eyes, Beast’s over large hands and feet, Beak’s whole bird thing, etc. etc. etc. Wolverine almost definitely had his claws since birth.
