his evil detector is already off the scales from his own evil self

i fear this will eventually be forced on people who dont want it; who would rather get thru their problems themselves; rather than having their brain rewired and possibly personality changes no way i dont care how bad off i get i dont want anything changing who i am; how i see the world; or how i process my emotions

F.E.A.R.

the idea with these kind of investments is traffic capacity and speed grows at such a rate that there is significant economic growth from the easier faster travel of people alone; more business meetings; more liesure; more visitors to internal smaller cities along the line it works very well in asia and europe but america seems very broken and things like land acquisition and legal challenges for these things hold up projects for years

its still not as good as goodle it looks alot nicer; its better presented; prettier; far more detailed- but actual business listings etc and finding resuraunts is harder than google as many listings are outdated or simply not there; as i guess said businesses havent created profiles for their location; and i think apple's ability to just find that themselves using other open data sources has been more limited; but maybe places only think to be on google i may be wrong on this but when i look for resuraunts near us i see far more results on google; i suppose that doesnt necessarily mean they dont exist on apple but i cant get them all to show the same anyways

ive payed for opera before back in the day but why oh why would they call it origin ea already ruined that name with a worthless unwanted service

i like the tablet form factor; my last 3 laptops were convertibles except for the neo last month; which i love; id really like to get the violet surface pro 12 now that more stuff works ok on windows on arm but id have more synthesizers probably and i dont really need another tablet/laptop right now unless it was ipad mini for music work; but id like the fanless surface pro alot; im in bed alot of the time bc disabled and inpain so a little fanless quiet device that i can use windows software on is appealing

NOOO we have enough evil hatefhul millenia of bigoted subjugative dogma in humanity from those ancient nonsense faiths dont infect ai with any more of it than its training data already has they should talk to me i cluld guide claude alot better i mean that seriously im the founder of a tiny religion that isnt tainted by thousands of years of bloodshed and murder and aggressive coersive violent social control

i doubt this helps laptop users going between dedicated nvidia gpu and amd integrated on the cpu (my 890m on hx370 proart is plenty capable for most of my games and its quieter; but if i plug in the system switches to the nvidia and games have to do their recompile any time i launch after a swap i hope infinity nikki gets its mac port this year; hopefully with next update 2.5... and i hope infold optimizes it enough to work as well on neo as it does on iphone

oculink?

i met my beautiful heavenly angel soulmate wife there :) ive never known a kinder; more selfless and generous person than her- and we've been very happily married for 2yrs now; we're not anything like youd probably imagine ppl from there are like; we're mostly pretty normal; just a bit broken by different things in life- but what brought us together is we love in the same all consuming overwhelming way; most people just cant accept that kind of love much less give it; but we drown ourselves in it everyday

my wife just got us both quest 3s's for valentines so we could go to a virtual mini concert together on vrchat; we also have been exploring various user made worlds there; including places ported from games from my childhood like phantasy star online (theres even a vr playable implimentation of the basic gameplay); its been amazing fun and really a special experience to be in those spaces physically with my heavenly wife; i wish we had met back then; but she was a toddler in russia at the time

vrchat is what people actually want to go to

i was pretty impressed by it but my wife was semi-disgusted; which is funny to me because shes loved most of the little occasional ai/mixed art experiments ive done; even one that was a img2img picture of us in a pretty fall park date setting i thought the resident rvil and assasins creed shadows stuff looked the best it did an incredible job on the trees in the background in the high up forest shot; still looking very much like original but with far more realistic lighting that would simply not be possible by conventional means in any existing engine i dont think its even necessarily just re-rendering frames like a filter i think its doing it at the shader level because all the vectors and other info is involved; its not the same as just pitting out a random image; and most of the character closeups looked convincing snd good to me; but some were weird and offputting too; i think this kind of thing really has to be tuned carefully maybe if you could only apply the effect to certain classes of objects in the scene and it was very tunable; which it sounds like thats what theyre trying to offer with their toolkit; this could also enable some very unique and never before seen art styles and effects etc; with far less work; and possibly eventually with far less demand on the hardware this is not quite the same as ai video generation stuff; and if you can integrate your own training assets you coukd customize it even further consider how amazing the order: 1866 on ps4 looked; atleast the characters in cutscenes; we get that now in realtime i understqnd peoples fears and disgust but i think most of it is just blanket ai hate like usual; and if that were less prevelant and extreme people might have more nuanced opinions of this tech (also if ai wasnt killing accessibility to hardware with the chip crisis) im interested to see it in non photoreal games; and i think if they had actually showed some game development integration of this stuff and the tools they have for developers to tune it- maybe there would be dlightly less backlash; bc most ppl will just dismiss this as enslopification even if it atleast in some situations can deliver really beautiful results (like those trees)

my wife and i play infinity nikki and every month incredibly detailed and beautiful fashions are added to the game; the most elaborate (and thus most work and talent that took to make by a team of probably dozens of people) can only be gotten by the gacha system; you pay about $12 for 10 pulls; and you must acquire all 10 pieces of the outfit to fully unlock it including its special ability(might be a movement boost or something that makes one small part of the game more convenient; like say a screen clearing attack); the majority of what drops are duplicates of things you already got from previous attempts; those duplicates turn into points which can be exchanged for a crafting or upgrade materials; you wont get duplicates of the 2 outfits on the "banner" (featured stuff your trying to get) until you completed it; and the duplicates of the high level outfit (5*) are required; in a full second copy; to unlock the final evolution of said outfit which is even more elaborate with extra effects etc vs the other 2 recolors which you get simply from doing enough pulls generally by about 120-160 pulls depending on luck you have completed the 5* and also 1 or 2 of the 4*; you also get other bonuses every 10-20 pulls like makeup and a version of the outfit for your cat companion in the game; plus a famcy temporary placeable interactive object which can be used for taking photos or putting in your private island this totals to like $150 for a single 5*; my wife is our only income as im quite disabled; and for mosr of last year each month both of us would pick 1 5* to get and go for as long as it took you also get rolls or diamonds which convert to them (120?=1 pull) from doing the story content; sidequests; minigames etc that are added each month and the daily rewards for login and play; if you keep up with that stuff it can be enough to get a 5* every other month; but there are limits on how much you get for free there are like a dozen kinds of currencies for different things and its confusing at firsr to learn what theyre all for; theres also a shop that has updated accessories and other stuff every month including a few low value less fancy outfits you can get for a few $; but those arent buyable with the freely earnable currency its pretty crazy dropping $300/mo or more so we are cutting back this year after the current chinese newyear update passes in a few days; its a singleplayer game but it has co op; its really an incredibly beautiful world and the most amazing art in the fashions that ive ever seen; puts hollywood and real fashion brands to shame; they are so creative and delicate and varied; from big poofy flowing dresses to cute miniskirt jpop idol outfits; and all that recenue lets the developer fund a huge team doing major fully voiced (in 4 languages) updates every month; plus a bigger one each year; ive never seen a game offer so much at such a pace all the beauty and making fashions together to take photos with the elaborage photo mode together; it keeps us coming back; and the memories are worth the money; but we should be a bit more choosey; we have like over 20k pieces now after the first year of the game so its alot to work with to mix and match new styles; you can also save your photos in the open world and other players will see a icon where you took it and the can click and see your photo and like it; friend you; or even refreate the exact angle and pose and camera settings and take a picture with your clone ghost; which then gets added on kinda like a reply its fun and beautiful and it lets us go places i probably never could physically with how disabled i am im not trying to be an ad here just express the value proposition and jow most of these gacha games operate (most others give characters/skins or weapons instead of elaborare mix/match fashion)
