I think it’s over specialization. I loved that in D1 that any character could use anything. By D4 every dropped item was character specific which meant no finding cool items of a different class to build the next character around. Also just the finding items. It seemed like every item I found or listed at the shop was just another 1 to 3 points in the character I was playing primary attribute, another point or two specific to that character and a few random filler bonuses. Just boring. Maybe it got better in the later game but as far as I got in the open betas and free weekends convinced me not to buy it…

As long as I get a glass of Tranya, I’m good with it…

And yet you need twitter to get your message out. Irony in that…

It will run, the frame rate will just be a bit low as you have to manually plot each frame from the output, say a frame every hour or two…

Cute but totally fake…

Bugsy Malone

Movie is quite good but I think the music/singing is a bit better than the acting…

Toss up between the fine conical strainer and the microplane…

Try old.lemmy.world if you like the old.reddit interface…

On the one hand, Driscoll did have a meeting to discuss the current state of the army with Trump the week before he resigned. On the other hand a quick search of who this Dominic Michael Tripi is opened a deep and weird rabbit hole. I would take anything he tweets with a few grains if not a pound of salt…

Sounds like a lot of people will be full of shit. Literally instead of just metaphorically…

Of what, rust?

More Roy…

Go full Batty…

Ocean Beach is right on the Pacific, very strong currents and huge waves compared to the Atlantic, especially during storms. I suspect it would not work as well. They do the same Christmas Tree thing at the New Jersey shore though…

Having lived right there, like maybe 8 blocks from where that picture was taken. “Sahara” is not far from the truth. It’s all sand, and salty sea sand at that. When it was the highway, sand removal was constant as winds are strong at that beach. A lot of it is steep dunes you have to climb up and down to get to the beach, not all of it has an ocean view. Erosion is prevented by cement sea walls you see on the left side of the picture as well as the fore mentioned dunes. The walls are taller than you might expect. I don’t know if they still do it, but they used to bring in heavy equipment all winter and move tons and tons of sand from the northern part of the beach to the southern part in front of the zoo, then the currents would bring it right back north. When you live in the Outer Sunset district, getting to the rest of the city can be a pain. People there shop a lot in Daly City just south and the Great Highway was super convenient to get there, so I can definitely see both sides of the argument.

I thought it much more interesting than the more famous “Crash” movie…

It’s not a matter of privacy or safety. It’s a matter of how does this technology benefit me? So far, that’s none at all. I live in a place of low crime, so it’s ability to keep me safer is minor if at all. Police abuse it and the upper classes seem safe from it. I do not see any benefit in it’s current form. Lock it down behind court orders without general police/organizational access and maybe? But I’ll still vote against it…

Costco is a huge market so it has many suppliers. I bought a bag a month ago that matched this post: a noticeable amount of empty shells. The next bags were fine. Probably just a wave of product from one supplier.

Same here. I occasionally follow a link to normal reddit it and it lets me see the tread for about ten seconds then tosses up a login popup. Looks like they are locking down the whole site.

At least the bots are pretending to be intelligent. A lot of idiots on reddit that are really degrading the site.

I encountered this playing with stable diffusion. I was doing Art Nouveau images. With “Mucha” as a prompt I got lots of images in his style but none matched any piece I was familiar with. Whereas if I used “Klimt”, everything was pretty close to a couple of his more famous paintings. Just a variation in the amount of individual works in the training data…
