    Ah that is pretty cool, I’ve never tried any mods at all. From time with FO3 and FNV I’d spend more time installing mods than playing the game haha.

    I think the thing about Time Master there is that I’d abuse the heck out of pausing time. I think the perfect bit would be pausing it during certain times, so you still have the limitation there, just a lot softer. Perhaps just doubling the time would be enough for that.




  • Lamenting the raising of prices is absolutely fair, but every industry goes through this. I cycle a lot, and there’s a strong base of people that are deeply upset at the cost of the bikes the pros are using. It used to be that almost anyone could buy the model bike that won the Tour de France, where they’d go for £1,200-1,500, full spec and all. Now Pogačar’s Colnago V4Rs cost $8,215 for the base model, likely closer to $12,000 for a fully spec’d version. I just think that this is happening everywhere as things get more and more optimized. You have to dig deeper and deeper to eek out those gains.

    Think of the sheer amount of time, effort, and hardware that goes into AI features and such. Upscaling and frame generation need a lot of data to be processed to make it viable, and the cost of the cards will have to offset this research cost.

    The only thing that maybe leans towards it being somewhat greed driven was the audio edits they made in their presentation, but again, I still just don’t think that’s enough to say “this is greed” or not. Is selling at a profit at all “greedy”?

    I’ve wondered this for a while, is a car dependant society creating a general senae of selfishness?

    Like if you walk everywhere, I feel your behaviour will be rounded out via interactions with others, but in a car you’re removed from seeing the human effect your actions have, it allows you to detach your humanity because it happens outside your cage, you’re only concerned for what’s happening inside thr cage.

    Not everyone obviously, cycling around the overwhelming majority of drivers are all good, but as a general trend I do wonder



  • ::: spoiler I went fairly hard down the espresso rabbit hole, lelit Mara x v2, niche zero, handful of accessories. I like it, but it 100% isn’t as the aesthetic portrays. It’s more comppicated and the learning curve is steep. You may luck into a few good pulls, but it just takes time.

    I don’t regret it, but I still absolutely love a V60 brew. With espresso I find myself rushing the process to get a coffee. The ritual of a pour over never left me feeling more irritated than when I started.

    Your list of worries are a lot lower as well, am I scaling up to inside, do I need to lubricate my cams, how dirty is it under thr shower screen, etc… :::



  • I’m sorry you went through that, and I’m certainly not tying to downplay the experience of anyone having gone through such events. I hope if Sam’s sister did experience these things that she has the full support of her family.

    I don’t know the details of the savage lawsuit honestly, but often settling is far cheaper than a long drawn out fight. There was thr court case against Andy Baio by the photographer who took the photos that was used on Miles Davis’ Kind of Blue album. Andy settled out of court and put out this statement discussing it.

    Not to say Adams or Sam’s stories are at all related to their case, but these things are extremely imperfect with guilty parties often going on to reoffend leaving further damage in their wake.

    I still believe that hating ai based on “guilt by association” may weaken the perceived position, even if the criticism and accusations are absolutely warranted and deserved.
