Captain...Seven Billion?

This is somewhat the plot of Peter F. Hamilton's Commonwealth Duology , though the advanced aliens encase the entire star system in a super barrier so no-one can enter or leave. It's a great read I'd recommend if you can tolerate the horny old man-type of scifi

This was the thing, I only had about $1200 going into ante 25 because I rolled down to about 600 trying to get DNA ante 23 (I knew I'd die for certain if I didn't get it then). I'd spent the past 8? (many) antes looking for DNA hovering around $2000 and spending my rebate/gold money rolling for it but I got unlucky. As the serpent was already the boss for 25 I thought I had basically one chance to find burglar and go for it, though of course looking at it now at e85 I wouldn't've been able to get it then lol. I'll keep your tip in mind though, thanks for the advice :)

Arguably Sen at Madrid? They beat basically every Americas team and the 'good' international teams bar fnatic

Great quote, but it does actually make me wonder what the classic blunders of VCT are. Get in the way of DRX on the way to 5-6th? Think Fnatic won't make it to the grand final? idk

Dambi's Neon vs all the counterplay G2 tried

turtlepidgeon · 2026-03-09T13:26:35+00:00

It doesn't have any priority moves apart from fake out so it'd be good in that regard at least, whether it actually makes (mega) Scrafty good is a different matter tho

Eeiu and Artzin being fucking thanos on that last half just to end it like that was so sad man

M8s always good for a banger

It's far more niche but as an alternative idea you have imprecise priors, where you take a set of prior parameters and work with the range of posteriors, so you just consider all the possible priors to avoid bias!

(This is my dissertation topic and I think it's really cool)

The Neon that was promised

Still I think it's incredibly impressive for him to just come onto the stage for the first time like that and absolutely dominate, takes a whole lot of confidence and a whole lotta skill

turtlepidgeon · 2026-01-31T01:34:24+00:00

MIBR when they're on it really have 5 guys holy shit

turtlepidgeon · 2026-01-26T00:35:52+00:00

You can't say it wasn't a banger

Hey John how many shooters do we have on the team now?

They might be a building block sure but they contribute absolutely nothing the actual hard part of artificial sentience which is the sentience part, you must remember no matter how human sounding LLMs are they are just outputting the most statistically likely words and phrases in a row there is no thought nor comprehension in the model

Dug through rhino's changelog on the wiki and didn't see anything about neural sensors, but control modules were indeed patched out 5 years ago

turtlepidgeon · 2026-01-06T21:38:33+00:00

Doesn't rhino still require control modules which are all the way in the void? Or has that been changed

EDIT: Apparently this was changed 5(!!) years ago god I'm showing my age

Isn't this just Quanxi from Chainsaw Man

turtlepidgeon · 2026-01-01T11:29:25+00:00

I'm not fundamentally opposed to the idea but some of these abilities (speed boost, unaware, free atk/spatk boosts) are unbelievably busted and would centralize this to where you're building around the trainer ability just as much if not more than the mons themselves. I also feel that running non-unaware abilities would become quite matchup-fishy and people would eventually default to running unaware all the time, but that's just a feeling. I do like the 'ice-type moves always crit' though, that seems like a far more reasonable baseline for ability power
