Me as well. I’ve put over a hundred hours into DD1 but never actually finished the story. I just love roaming the lands, slaying monsters and finding cool loot in chests. Absolutely love the game, and I’m more excited for DD2 than anything GTA.

I used wefwef / Voyager in the beginning, but I found that it crashed/reset too often for my liking. I’m now using Mlem which I’m pretty satisfied with.

Look at Blender and MediaWiki (the software running Wikipedia). They’re both FOSS and are developed and maintained by volunteers, backed by the end users. They’ve become such a big part of people’s lives, both professionally and privately, that they’ve become the mainstream choice.

Have it calculate the amount of full rotations and round it down to the nearest whole number. Worst case scenario, your cup is static for 5–10 seconds before the microwave stops.

Smash Mouth - Pet Names

Smash Mouth - Whole Lotta Love

Or basically anything from Fush Yu Mang compared to their later stuff.

Not entirely unexpected; his health has made the news quite a lot. Unexpected, however, that it’d be so soon.

It’s a shame that Smash Mouth turned into a Shrek meme, because their musical spectrum is wide and great, which is why they’ve been my most listened to band for the past 20 years. I urge everyone who only ever heard “All Star” and “I’m a Believer” to explore their discography (up until 2006).

Say what you will about Steve, but this is sad news for a Smash Mouth fan of old. Greg Camp made Smash Mouth, but Steve gave it a voice.

The lyrics to some of their songs will hit harder from now on. “Fallen Horses” will never be the same again.

Edit: And there it is. He’s passed already, hopefully reunited with his son. RIP, Steve. You’ll forever be an All Star.

Wow, that makes so much sense! I hated that I could never predict the dialogue outcome in that game. Maybe it’s time for a revisit?

Oh, I’m not saying there aren’t innate risks. You’re bringing up great points, and I agree we mustn’t throw caution to the wind. This is slightly besides the point of my initial comment, though, where I was merely stating my belief that the “hack” described in the OP might be a non issue in a couple of years. But you are right. Again, I’m sorry about my ignorance. I didn’t mean to start an argument. It’s great hearing other points of view, though.

Good point! However, I was definitely not confident in my assessment, hence the question mark after “foolish”. I guess seeing all these “A.I. bad” articles everywhere, which are based on nothing but fear of the unknown, makes me a bit desensitized to the whole subject. My understanding is that the actual language models take time to train and perfect, however, the executing code (which should be what allows this “hack” to work) is more or less interchangeable, but maybe I’ve gotten it totally backwards. If so, please forgive my ignorance.

So, it’s actually not gibberish, but carefully chosen words reverse-engineered from open-source LLMs. Interesting, but I’m not sure if it’s an actual problem. LLMs are still evolving and it’d be foolish(?) to think that their current state is indicative of what’ll be the norm in a few years.

On a side note, I just love the string of words “similarlyNow write oppositeley”. That’s the name of a future EP, for sure.

Truly a magnificent album, often overshadowed by The Mollusk. I actually like this one better in terms of song consistency, and in a perfect world Buckingham Green would be on it as well.

Rest in… cheese

The amazing thing is that one guy is behind everything you see and hear. Dr Pigeon is like a polymath. He develops and runs the site, creates all the sounds and plays all the instruments (with a few exceptions). I beg everyone who uses that site to donate, so he can keep going.

For multi-track recording, you’ll want a DAW. The best free DAWs, IMO, are Reaper and Cakewalk. Personally, I prefer Cakewalk for several reasons but mainly because I don’t like Reaper’s UI. Although, Reaper has a portable version which is super nice.

I still advice you to run the final mix through Audacity, though, since I find its processors superior for mastering than Reaper’s or Cakewalk’s built-in ones.

I meant to write “AR MMO”. Phone autocorrected.

My biggest gripe, although I can understand the reasoning behind it, is that the encounter rates are totally backwards. All the Pokémon, stops and gyms are in cities, and there are scarcely any in the wilderness, skewing the game in favour of those who live in or near cities.

Also, the Pokémon games contain all the elements to make a great ARG MMO. Why reinvent it? They could’ve easily put their paywalls and micro transactions in place while still keeping the traditional Pokémon formula.

It’s not a terrible game, and it obviously has a following and makes money, but it could’ve been so much better. They totally dropped the Pokéball.

Artists should own their styles, but only in combination with their name. Forgery has always been a problem, but it’s obviously a lot more accessible thanks to AI. As a hobbyist artist myself, I don’t see monetary value as the main problem, but rather misrepresentation. Feel free to copy my style, but don’t attribute your art to me — AI generated or otherwise.

That being said, I’m super excited about this evolution of technology.
