TotK fixed some of those issues, but I’m not sure it would make it enjoyable in your eyes. It follows a similar pattern of getting all the runes in the tutorial area before opening up. Each boss fight now has a longer dungeon that does give more unique abilities (and some that sort of open new areas) but not in the way metroidvanias do. Also weapons last much much much longer in BotW.

My biggest gripe with BG3 was that a major point of praise for it was how polished it was, despite it still being quite buggy and the UI being very annoying very often. Love the voice acting, I think it’s good, great even, I just don’t think it was God’s gift to humanity or that it deserved game if the year.

Also, if every AI company does this, then it’s more books gone. If they cooperated they’d only need to do it once. Good scans of all books in the public domain would be so useful for us all as society.

I sort of get it because of you know you’re only using the model when you have Internet and want it to search then just let it.

Misread baddie as baddie 💅 and was confused.

Small point of order, there was an option to disable it, but it was extremely hidden and buried in the advanced settings area and called “enabling toxic mode”. Also, this only disabled the runtime policy. There was no way for end users to disable the instance list that was in the source code itself.

I don’t know what the difference between foo([0-9]+)? and foo[0-9]* is. Is this just an instance of wonky code or is there actually a reason to prefer the first?

It is what I meant, yes. Thank you!

Blahaj as a whole was blocked.

Yeah, that’s my point. The Cybertruck seems heavily inspired by the nostalgia of the Delorean and people forgetting the problems. It’s easy to think that they were considered cool by watching Back to the Future, but they were considered junkers, and that’s even how it’s meant to be viewed by Doc using it.

I wonder if in another ~30 years we’ll get another wave of nostalgia and make the Delorean v3?

Was that another banned phrase? lol. The thorn stuff was sort of annoying to me too, but the idea of outright, blanket banning it (and deceptively and silently) is crazy.

No, it was a separate filter with phrases they didn’t like. Some were political or violent, others were just odd.

All this from the one who thought people saying “perchance” deserved to be treated the same as the so-called violent extremists. Stopping people from saying “perchance” isn’t fucking “saving the fediverse.”

62% humidity outside right now, 99° F “real feel”, 92° F “real feel shade”. 88° F actual temp.

I think what folks from not humid places don’t realize is how hot the shade is. Shade is always better than sun, obviously, but it sort of only takes the feeling of the sun against your skin. The air is still hot. I’d compare it to a sauna sort of. Like it’s still stuffy.

The first time my wife went to somewhere that actually has dry heat she said it was amazing. She was actually cold in the shade. Not just cool. That concept is so foreign to me.

Anon thinks normal experience is unique.

I thought Big Tech loved burning money.

I do feel bad they’re getting harassing DMs and death threats though, that is taking it too far. But I don’t know what sort of reaction they expected from doing something so underhanded and then taking the high road after.

If it was really just crazy users and maybe some crazy instances, I would be more willing to give the benefit of the doubt (assuming they changed it, which they are not). But the “perchance” block… Blocking Blahaj entirely… I have a very difficult time accepting this is anything but a personal grudge.

Maybe I’ll just say perchance in every post so they don’t have to see me lol
