Basically, there’s not enough remaining votes to realistically flip any of the swing states. So if they’re at 80% reporting with 52% going to trump, the remaining 20% would have to be like 80% Harris, which is unlikely. So they’ve called the election.

Smallville Lex was the best by a mile, because it showed the progression of the character in a believable way.

My most recent experience with that was Manor Lords, the steep learning curve was one thing, the inability to mine some resources due to game breaking bugs though…

Sweet! Sub par soft-serve for everyone!

LMAO, I got super into Evony. Even coded a bot myself to run my rogue base 24/7 so my guild could attack it for massive loot. I totally got suckered by their ad. That was like 2008/2009.

I’m responsible for four of those… Three nieces and my wife.

Bro, that stupid game with the guys that shoot barrels to get more fighters/better weapons looked fun. The actual game is a shitty base builder with timed progression, of course you can pay to get past the time locks. Fuck that company and every “influencer” that takes their dirty money.

Basically a fancy version of Scorched Earth, with worms.

Get me that sub ms latency!! But I’ll take larger bandwidth too.

What about the fine tuning stuff? There’s definitely a skill to getting the right coloring, framing, blending by using filters, in-painting, and layers. Getting good at using a control net with the right engine takes time and effort.

If you’re honest about playing with generative AI, you can appreciate that it might take talent. But fuck copyright and fuck perpetual property. It’s our art now!

I think you, like most people, think you can get the same AI image by typing the same thing. But when you’re really trying to create something, knowing how to use layers, in-painting, Photoshop, and tweaking prompt strengths along with switching engines, takes legitimate skill to create a good AI assisted image.

But because I hate the idea of copyright and art hording, I appreciate that none of it is copyrightable.

https://lite.koboldai.net/ offers a lot of different models that are volunteer hosted to give people ideas of what you can run locally as well.

And because it’s Canada, they’ll get six months in jail and be back at it.

“Let’s go to Starbucks.”

“We don’t have time for that!”

Just him mentioning his husband would be political to some people, which is the point.

Based on OPs willingness to admit that other people fighting for their very basic human rights as annoying, I’ll answer for them and say yes.

“Protest is still allowed… If we approve it.”

You’re welcome! It’s a fun world and as others have stated, “Guards! Guards!” Is a great jumping in point as well.
