I think he’s mistaken. Those relics are green, so clearly they boost HP. (or maybe stamina)

Ahh, the ole reddit switcharoo

If it’s boring and generic, how is it also nonsense? That seems contradictory to me, but maybe I don’t understand.

I feel like there might be an emerging market for a car company that makes new, safe cars with very low tech computer systems.

Ah who am I kidding, I wish there was a market for all kinds of functional-but-not-enshittified products out there, but the complete lack of them shows the entrenched powers that be will stomp out any attempt to upset the terrible status quo.

Game, Outer Wilds

Movie, Everything Everywhere All At Once

It was quite nice, but the number of elevators that were out of order at major tourist attractions was bonkers. Good luck in Paris if you have mobility issues!

Holy shit, it all checks out. President Garfield had a nephew named Rutherford B. Lasagna who he gave a high-ranking position to, just two weeks before he was assassinated.

Heck yes, I binged this game over a weekend where I didn’t see many other people and it put me in a weird headspace that was perfect for this game. I really enjoyed it, very unlike anything else I’ve played. If you’re just playing it to beat it, you might not enjoy it, is my guess. But if you’re in the mood to dig in a bit more it’s a lot of fun to learn about the characters through the different websites and messages.

I’ve recommended this game to friends and coworkers and I don’t think any of them have gone for it. Ah well. This game will always hold a special little place in my heart.

EDIT: If you weren’t alive back in the days of AOL and angelfire/geocities/Myspace websites, you might not enjoy this game as much. I think you might still enjoy it, but the nostalgia feeling for that bygone age was a big part of the appeal for me.

I meaaaan, while I did join Lemmy because I was sick of reddit the company’s greedy decisions, I do miss the amount of users and content it has/generates. If reddit joining the fediverse meant they couldn’t dictate what app I use to view their posts, I probably would enjoy being able to browse their content again.

What an interesting thought! There are lots of reasons a person might pretend to be an LLM. They could be something like, to make money…uh…somehow. And then…well I’m sure there’s other reasons too.

I’m a bot. Totally.

Smart developer: let’s make the label an 8 inch square so it won’t fit in any mug.

Haha, sorry about that, but we only do it with ideas we really like and want to spend more time thinking about, if that helps 😄

Honestly now that you mention it, yeah, a few hundred elephants growing in the same spot almost instantly would accelerate the outer ones to a very high speed. It’d probably end up being more like a wet, chunky mini-nuke.

Haha, you have my blessing.

I don’t really know d&d well, but I just looked up the spell and I think it says you can transform “any number of willing creatures”. So the DM could make an argument about whether insects had the intelligence to even qualify as being able to be “willing” for that.

On the other hand, I am a big fan of Operation Dumbo Drop Multistrike

I think they really mean “I just don’t want to see black people, but that sounds bad, so let me try to come up with something I think sounds better.”

To get out of those spirals, I just remind myself that I’ve probably forgotten hundreds of things other people probably regret saying/doing, and odds are most people probably forgot mine. Even if I’m sure someone didn’t forget it, I doubt they ever think about it anymore.

I am beyond stoked for this new release!

But then how do you poop if no one is begging? Uhh, asking for a friend.
