The first one was engaging but subsequent novels really felt like Auel was writing them with one hand

- Comment on Which game have you been most patient for? 6 days ago:
I still recommend it solo. I started w friends but most of my time in game has been alone
- Comment on MSI's $80 AMD motherboards with DDR4 support swoop in to rescue gamers amid the global RAM crisis 6 days ago:
Nice, Beyond Sunset kinda reminds me of Neon Overdrive, which came out last year. I wonder if NO took aesthetic inspiration from the BS setting. I haven’t played through a ton of the total conversion wads but it’s always impressive what people manage to do with the (tweaked) Build engine. Are those two standouts for you? Looks like Ashes got a cacoward runner up in 2018. I had a lot of fun recently with one called Impping, which is a slaughter wad where the enemies are mostly imps and your ammo is mostly rockets.

Could be that or could be your tastebuds as a kid couldn’t handle strong flavors as well. I remember those fireball things being pretty hot but as an adult they weren’t spicy at all
- Comment on MSI's $80 AMD motherboards with DDR4 support swoop in to rescue gamers amid the global RAM crisis 6 days ago:
I’ve been playing a lot of Doom recently and I used to run that on an old 486. People just kept on making free wads for that for like 35 years.
- Comment on Firefox 148 introduces the promised AI kill switch for people who aren't into LLMs 1 week ago:
You don’t have to use google translate (there are 2 other services included), and TWP doesn’t reload the page when you toggle the translate function off and on like the built in one did.
- Comment on Firefox 148 introduces the promised AI kill switch for people who aren't into LLMs 1 week ago:
When I turned it off the translation thingy went away, so I’m not sure if it was AI all along and they were lying about it or not. Just as well, there’s an extension that works fine and it doesn’t reload the page every time I toggled it like the built in one did.

Hm, maybe country specific. The ones in Japan for example never have soap.

Boston drivers aren’t bad, just aggressive
Worcester on the other hand, has shit drivers
- Comment on Are there regions of the world where local men and women have divergent accents? 1 week ago:
People made up getting upset at vocal fry so they could complain about women
- Comment on i unapologetically love male pits 1 week ago:
Bidets don’t use soap, so I would hope anywhere in the world you’d set the shower as the minimum standard
- Comment on Are there regions of the world where local men and women have divergent accents? 1 week ago:
Can you give an example? People have different idiolects but slight changes in intonation aren’t usually enough to make an accent of one type distinct from others in that type. Like not everyone with the General American accent sounds exactly the same but you can still say this group is GenAm, this other one is Appalachian, etc.
- Comment on Car Wash Test on 53 leading AI models: "I want to wash my car. The car wash is 50 meters away. Should I walk or drive?" 1 week ago:
Are poems, songs, stories or movie scripts ‘correct’?
It’s a valid point that they can produce natural language. The Turing Test has been a thing for awhile after all. But while the language sounds natural, can they create anything of value? Are the poems or stories they make worth anything? It’s not like humans don’t create shitty art, so I guess generating random soulless crap is similar to that.
The value of language produced by something that can’t understand the reason for language is an interesting question I suppose.
- Comment on Car Wash Test on 53 leading AI models: "I want to wash my car. The car wash is 50 meters away. Should I walk or drive?" 1 week ago:
But natural language in service of what? If they can’t produce answers that are correct, what’s the point of using them? I can get wrong answers anywhere.

How the hell did Samus create peace throughout an entire galaxy by capturing metroids? Surely there are other things to worry about.
- Comment on I've probably seen more naked ladies than my entire bloodline combined 1 week ago:
I dunno, even assuming Ghengis had sex every day and his proclivities leaned toward having multiple concubines sent to him at one time, that still doesn’t necessarily equal the number of different people someone could cycle through during a session of flogging the bishop. Someone with a high libido could easily pass Khan these days.
- Comment on Today is the 40th Anniversay of Zelda! 1 week ago:
It was designed around needing to explore, but since there was always enough stuff to find and the enemy strength was one signpost of the type of area it was, it never felt tedious. The 80s and early 90s was also part of the era where you weren’t getting new games all the time, so if it took awhile to figure out the next step it wasn’t a big deal because it was the only thing you were focusing on.

If you’ve never been somewhere that has fresh coconut you should try it once. For me old brown coconuts in grocery stores, or dried coconut or the fake flavoring in candies etc = disgusting. Fresh coconut is awesome.
