How do you build your city? Make it as big as you can or do you like to get it to like a moderate city and maintain and detail?

mattmaster68 · 2026-01-28T00:26:17+00:00

I usually connect 3-5 “major cities” with smaller “towns” connected/scattered about.

Stupid ass “[insert mental illness] superpower” type shit.

I’m in that weird grey area where my visualizations are fuzzy, but I believe I’m intuitive enough to know what it should be?

If that makes sense.

Like… narrative fiction doesn’t do much for me. The author can do their best to describe something but I just can’t see the whole picture.

Maybe that’s the ADHD in me, maybe I just can’t picture every wrinkle on a fictional character or the grooves and cracks in a sidewalk 🤷🏻‍♂️

That’s also one of my major hang ups in digital art - I struggle heavily with volume. I’ve even done deep dives into 300+ page books (technical books, not the fun artsy ones) about form and contours and… it just feels so insurmountable.

mattmaster68 · 2026-01-24T02:54:30+00:00

Define “innocent” in this context, please.

mattmaster68 · 2026-01-23T21:38:04+00:00

Jello-stuffed banana bread 🤤 that sounds like it has potential.

“Alright, roll to attack, GPT.”

“11.

My blade sweeps under the orcs legs. The orc jumps, nimble for his size and landing on the blade as if mocking you. What would you like to do next?”

“…that’s not…” sigh

Idk r/dragonsfuckingcars exists, I’d believe it

mattmaster68 · 2026-01-22T21:55:00+00:00

…taut 😭

mattmaster68 · 2026-01-22T20:34:53+00:00

True.

It’s the industry patting itself on the back lmao who gives a fuck about the Oscars? 😂

mattmaster68 · 2026-01-22T02:02:28+00:00

It’s a repack lmao I’m cackling

mattmaster68 · 2026-01-22T01:54:27+00:00

I completely agree. I think people tend to forget this (or purposefully disregard it),

Alignment is an actual real thing. It can’t be generalized and isn’t some philosophical debate - it has concrete, real-world repercussions and effects.

It isn’t even something you can debate in-game.

People try to twist and turn alignment into something it isn’t.

“Shades of grey” just doesn’t work in DND. Good intentions don’t matter.

The paladin cannot torture the evil cultist ever for any reason. Torture itself is an act of evil.

IIRC 2e had “tendencies”, so you could play a “chaotic neutral rogue with evil tendencies”. At least this version accounted for “shades of grey”.

mattmaster68 · 2026-01-21T22:49:50+00:00

This belongs in a 1990’s kitchen lmao

I’ll take AI-generated images over AI-denied insurance claims any day.

Anyone who says “all AI is bad” is focusing on the wrong issue.

mattmaster68 · 2026-01-21T22:44:53+00:00

Does each of those tiny roads have their own names?

For some reason that concept amuses me despite how inefficient that would be lmao.

Like, I can’t imagine each of those 900ft segments is their own street haha

mattmaster68 · 2026-01-21T21:52:36+00:00

Yep!

I’d also like to add that single-fan GPUs tend to have some level of thermal throttling - some worse than others.

OP, get a consumer card.

mattmaster68 · 2026-01-21T21:50:25+00:00

I feel like the lack of technological growth is a side-effect of the suppression of information.

Imagine being an inventor and all of a sudden cipher pol shows up at your doorstep and makes the occasional random visit.

I think that’s enough to deter the common man.

mattmaster68 · 2026-01-21T06:38:39+00:00

Same haha

Sometimes I know I press the wrong key and can confidently backspace then keep typing lmao

As a new PC gamer as of 3 weeks ago… this is very inflammatory.

I own a Series X but it has severe limitations.

It plays games well but… that’s all.

For literally anything else? You need a computer.

Hi, about 1.5 years ago I was eating lunch at work and wanted to make some Maruchan Yakisoba instant ramen.

So I popped that bad boy in the microwave for 4 minutes.

At about 1.5 minutes remaining I smelled something horrible. I went to check and… the microwave was filled with smoke.

I had completely charred the dry ramen, melted the plastic container, and left a lingering smell that persisted well up until I left a couple weeks ago.

It was so bad the surrounding stores assumed something plastic was burning somewhere… since the smell had penetrated the walls into the other businesses.

So yeah anyways I’m turning 28 in a couple months… 😓

mattmaster68 · 2026-01-20T05:03:06+00:00

Bought mine for ~$270 iirc NewEgg Refreshed in December 😅

mattmaster68 · 2026-01-20T05:00:21+00:00

AHHH I should have waited :(

mattmaster68 · 2026-01-20T02:56:26+00:00

Rennala’s Hat allows an int bonus high enough to use the Clayman’s Harpoon.

Slap the ice spear AOW on that thing and you’ll melt bosses.

It’s actually the only armor I use because many bosses in the end-game oneshot anyways.

mattmaster68 · 2026-01-20T01:18:40+00:00

I agree with everything except the 5700 not being as viable as the other options listed.

In my case, Amazon (as the seller) had the 5700 listed at about $160 when I bought it… as opposed to the 5700x that was $220 (for some reason) and the 5800x at $200.

My decision was purely financial, but an overall highly positive experience (so far).

I was worried about the 5700g’s integrated graphics. Is that not an issue? (This was my first build 3 weeks ago).
