- Comment on What’s your favourite Elder Scrolls game, and why? 6 days ago:
Not the person you responded to, but I’ve liked Tainted Grail a lot.
It feels more like what skyrim should be in that the RPG elements are more integrated with the gameplay while still keeping the action moving.
Some general thoughts:
- I like the writing, it’s nice to have a different world/setting.
- the combat is okay, but at least requires a bit of skill/strategy.
- I like the more limited item set with a focus on upgrading/modifying weapons rather than just finding good gear.
- The fact attributes actually matter in quests/dialog is nice to see and done decently well.
- Crafting actually feels somewhat rewarding and useful.
- Comment on The solar boom is rapidly transforming emerging economies 3 weeks ago:
This is one of those things that no one realizes cause no one draws too much attention to it, but the US hasn’t been slacking on renewables in general - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solar_power_in_the_United_States - https://earthenergylog.com/articles/solar-power-statistics-us-2026
The thing is, developing countries will always see a bigger impact from newer technology because they are developing and so are building up base capacity. In the US we already have a lot of base load that already exists, so new power is to either increase overall load or to replace. Both of those things typically happen slower than new build out.
- Comment on Does anyone have an ARR/automated book and manga system? 3 weeks ago:
I run Kogma alongside AudioBookShelf, but have ended up reading most manga directly from AudioBookShelf. The reader is hit or miss, but syncing works great and you can download comics/books for when youre on the go (and it will also sync progress when you reconnect).
The major downside is AudioBookshelfs opinions on directory structure. Requires a fair amount of work reorganizing content.
- Comment on Recommend some anime for me 1 month ago:
While it’s overarching plot is kinda meh, it’s structure felt similar to things like Trigun or Cowboy Bebop (basically a western), which both are fairly well regarded. But to me, the high episodes of Kinos Journey stand out more than any Trigun episodes and are at least on par if not better than many Cowboy Bebop episodes.
- Comment on Recommend some anime for me 1 month ago:
It’s been so long since I’ve seen someone recommend “Kinos Journey”. I stumbled upon it years ago looking for new anime and never understood why it never got more attention. The ending is a little weird, bit it has some fantastic episodes.
- Comment on Or they completely botch S2 by rushing it 1 month ago:
Haha, I’m not sure how much getting into the manga helped in that case. Not sure well ever get a real ending to that story.

As with most AI/LLMs it’s about how much error you can tolerate.
Translating basic info, sure the user can infer any slight mess ups. Translating jokes, idoms, tone, cultural differences, etc. is hard assuming you even got the original text right.
- Comment on That's all folks, Plex is starting to charge for sharing 1 year ago:
For me, it’s worked out for plex. What it offered at the time was more than worth the price and I’ve felt a little bad about it being a once and done payment.
That being said they’ve hurt some of the good will with the changes they’ve made, but also I imagine they’re struggling to find a sustainable path for development.
- Comment on Steam Winter Sale Featured Deep Discounts - any recommendations? 1 year ago:
If looking for a good “actual fox” game I’d recommend tunic!

I thought the game was okay. Combat was a bit wonky and the story a bit hard to follow, but do to the length it may be worth it. Especially if your into occult magic/cthulu themes.
