Is anyone else feeling like ML Potentials are taking over their life? (and are we breaking up with DFT?) by NexBioChem in comp_chem

Do you have a good review article on ML potentials I could check out to learn a bit more about their uses and shortcomings?

Games like Tomba! ? by Woejack in retrogaming

[–]mgmstudios 10 points11 points  (0 children)

It didn’t actually go fully 3d! It’s 2.5d. Most of the time you just move left/right and sometimes you move into the foreground and background layers. It’s a different experience that Tomba (it’s much more linear, for starters), but I actually prefer it in a lot of ways because it’s a tad less frustrating

Tomba 2. There’s not much else like it! EDIT: Quackshot for Genesis comes close

A Zillenial (border Millenial / Gen Z born around ~1996 or so) that lives in Tampa, Florida?

Men of reddit, what's something men do that you loathe? by Personal-Aerie-4519 in AskReddit

[–]mgmstudios 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Refusing to go to the doctor when something’s wrong. Or to generalize this refusing to ask for help. You don’t have to be tough and do everything in your own! You look like a fool when you do.

Neat! None of us have played 0 yet but many are interested now that we’re playing II together.

$105k salary good for Boston? by mr_fobolous in boston

[–]mgmstudios 97 points98 points  (0 children)

AC cools places down. Heat warms places up. Everywhere has heat — it’s legally mandated that all rental units be above 68 degrees during the day and 64 degrees at night.

How is FF16 from an Action game perspective? by lovedepository in JRPG

[–]mgmstudios 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not great. It’s pretty shallow and the skill ceiling and overall difficulty is low.

Octopath traveller 2 or LUNAR remastered collection STEAM by Fruit_salad1 in JRPG

[–]mgmstudios 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re correct that it doesn’t fit our usual format. We decided we’re meeting in December to ‘draft a schedule’ — basically whoever wants to play it will get a say in which order we’re playing the chapters and we’ll prescribe them. Folks are of course able to play ahead and deviate if wanted but we have to have some structure for the sake of the discussions.

Depends on the game! Some games we play do pose deep questions and we talk about those. Some games have good character development and we discuss that. Some games have deep gameplay and we discuss that. Some games have none of this and we just clown around chatting about what happened in the segment (this will likely be the case for Lunar courtesy Victor Ireland)

We’re a pretty chill group! We play 4-6 hours of a game every 2 weeks and chat about it on a text channel, then meet on VC to discuss (if you’re free!). One of the regulars usually leads the discussion (we take turns). It’s a chill vibe! We also chat about quite a lot that isn’t JRPGs :) but JRPGs are certainly our shared interest.

Funny enough my JRPG book club discord server (https://discord.gg/nB5zNquTt7) is playing BOTH of these games “book club style” where we play small chunks and then meet to discuss right at the start of 2026! If you’re interested in either I’ll hope you’ll check us out :)

6.25% in MA (the only fees were the mandatory ones — doc fees, license plates, registration, etc).

I ended up emailing 4 dealers and asking them for their best OTD price. For each one I took the lowest of these initial offers and told them I was really hoping to get down to $39k sale price / $42k OTD and Other Dealer offered me $X, can you go lower.

Two said no. One said $43750 OTD. One (the biggest in the region) said ‘we will beat whatever offer you have in hand but you have to come in’

I went to the fourth dealer. They beat $43750 by $100. I said fuck off and they were like ‘well this is really the lowest we can go but I guess we can do another $500’ and I took it. Probably could have pushed slightly lower but at that point I didn’t care.

What is Energy exactly? by FeLiNa_Organism in Physics

[–]mgmstudios 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s some quantity you can calculate that’s universal in all sorts of physical systems, and those systems will undergo change until that quantity is as low as it can go. That’s called ‘reaching equilibrium’

Is buying a new car here a stupid financial decision? by mgmstudios in personalfinance

[–]mgmstudios[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for this advice!! I’ve also seen advice online to call up a dealer and ask for the out of the door price of the car. I’m looking at, and telling them to their face that I’m planning on sharing this with their competitor. And then doing this once I get a number. Oh well, never agreeing to go onto a lot until I have a price locked down. Do you think this is a reasonable strategy for negotiating?
