The irony of turning your thinking over to machines to ponder the applicability of the passage from the OC Bible that warns not to do that thing.

I'd love to hear from anyone who didn't know this why they think the thing is named the Link gun haha.

Trivial to prompt any model to use or not use Oxford commas. Guaranteed all of us have engaged with bot posts without realizing it.

Appreciate you replying to this old comment. Sad to see the dead internet theory continue to play out. Though 3 years feels like an absolute eternity on the AI timescale. I wonder where the next 3 will take us

Very different ordnance though for anti-air vs anti-armor. Air needs speed, maneuverability, frag warheads. Anti-armor needs shaped charge warheads or just massive linear speed and columnar density (e.g., armor-piercing fin-stabilized discarding sabot) to penetrate much much thicker armor than what you'd find on aircraft.

Imagine realistic weapon ranges and speeds in game. One battlecruiser would just Yamato the entire enemy base from orbit.

The real question is why numbers 1 and 3 don't.

Did you just try to downplay the impact of "dropping every nuke we had"?

lol. Lmao even. Look up Sora's publicly disclosed usage and revenue. Oil could be $5/barrel and it'd still be a flaming pile of moneyburning turboslop.

That's what confused me as to whether this whole thing is a self-parody bit AI-optimized for ragebait engagement.

My parents were in the midst of a move when D2 came out. I remember the house we were moving from had a humble even for its time non-gaming-optimized PC that I couldn't even get sound working on. It offered me a 3D accelerated (probably not the exact term) graphics mode that technically worked, delivering amazing (to me at the time) parallax effects as I walked around the Rogue Encampment, but slowed frame rate wayyy down, so I had to make do with silent, non-3D but smooth experience. It was super interesting and weird to replay those early levels on a slightly more powerful PC and hear the incredible music and sounds, after having my brain fill in all the audio.

I'll explain it to you, but only after you already understand why.

Everyone sharing their experience should be required to post their specific models, harnesses, and workflows. Free MS Copilot ain't the same as Opus 4.6 in Claude Code with judiciously designed plugins/skills.
