Our household has gone full in on Plex. Bought an 8 TB hardrive to run the sever off my 10 year old gaming PC. Wife and I have been binging Downton Abbey. Digitized the series off blue-rays from the local local. However the blue-ray set didn’t have the Christmas Specials. My wife did not want to wait til I tracked down the specials. So we started to watch the specials on Amazon Prime Video. The picture encoding was awful. Not to mention all the bloody annoying ads. Not able to stomach the horrible picture quality anymore I hurriedly found a 1080p file and added it to our plex server. It was like night and day. I am not a high definition snob. Honestly I cannot tell the difference between 1080p and 4K. But the fact that I can stream better video quality from my 10 year old PC than through a multi billion dollar company is absurd.

Do you think the average consumer is going to want to have an AI represent them in court? People are still going to need lawyers to explain the law in laymen terms. For example, I work in tax law. And clients already struggle to understand what inventory capitalization ala code sections 263(a) is. And Why they need to adhere to it. I see how large language models can be useful. But I wonder if the hype is akin to crypto currency, or NFTs?

Isn’t this the guy who bashed on Elden Ring players who spam jump r1 attack. And then proceeded an entire play-through with nothing but spamming jump r1 attacks.

What the guy who whipped up fake controversy on DEI in games is actually a huge racist??? Shocking!

2 gets a bad rap. Hitting yourself to increase max health works against yourself in the long run. Many late game monsters do % of max health damage. Characters with inflated max health will struggle more in those battles. I played the game normally with minimal grinding and ran into no issue.

100 percent agree. Recruiters are a waste of oxygen. Back when I was in school I attended this massive recruiting meet and greet. Head hunters from the largest firms in the area attended and talked with the students about career prospects. A recruiter from a big firm was there bragging about her arbitrary strict screening process for resumes. This Karen, a failed elementary school teacher, gloated about how she required a full page cover letter, and a full page resume. There could not be any blank space. She would measure the margins and if not exactly I inch she would throw the applicant in the reject pile. The cover letter would have to be a full page long. If any length less than 1 full page straight to reject pile. However she stated would never actually read the cover letter.

A week later I attended a Q and A with several partners from the biggest firms in the area. They all talked about how they hated absolutely HATED cover letters and bloated resumes. All they looked for was prior experience, grade point average, and whether the applicant is licensed or not. Funny enough the partner from the same firm as the Karen recruiter had a 2 minute rant on why he hated cover letters.

Downloaded it last week. Put a few hours into the game. It’s stellar. Very reminiscent of Total Annihilation. Even has the Big Bertha giant canons that are horribly impractical; yet a blast to fire.

Lyrics from Holiday by Green Day:

“The representative from California has the floor. "Sieg Heil" to the president Gasman. Bombs away is your punishment. Pulverize the Eiffel towers. Who criticize your government.

"Bang! Bang!" goes the broken glass, and Kill all the fags that don't agree. Try to fight fire, setting fire. Is not a way that's meant for me.

Just 'cause (hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!) Just 'cause, because we're outlaws, yeah (hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!)“

Green Day has never been really subtle.

Anyone got the file to open? I tried using mega but ran into problems.

My wife got me one for Christmas. I like it. My hands are big so the standard joycons feel too small. My only issue is the d-pad isn’t in the best spot. But all in all it’s a comfy grip.

I’ve been running a dnd campaign for my wife’s cousins for the past year. I took a few months due to work getting hectic. But now that things have slowed down I’m excited to get back to GMing again. We have our session zero this Friday. The players ages range from mid teens to mid 20s. And I’m trying to prevent the party from becoming a mob of murder hobos again.

As an Xbox owner I’ve come to realize that buying that console may not of been the best decision.

My wife likes to watch Disney +. Thus anything that comes out on Hulu / Disney + / ESPN bundle we will watch through traditional means. If I can purchase a show or movie legally and retain ownership I will watch through traditional means. On the flip side anything that was once on Hulu/ Netflix but is not anymore we are gonna pirate. Anything that airs on a streaming service that forces you watch within an app with ads we are gonna pirate. Anything that airs on Netflix after its password sharing crackdown we are gonna pirate. Any show that airs on streaming service that did not before but now has ads (I am calling you out Amazon) we are gonna pirate.
