I hate turn based combat too, but it was super enjoyable in coop. And it's quite good for being turn based.

It's also real-time outside of combat, FYI.

For solo, I'd probably get the mod that automates your companions, and reduce the difficulty to your taste to compensate.

It should be the first, no question.

I'm sorry, but Democratic leadership, the Washington Post, and the New York Times are not "right wing." The last Republican presidental candidate thje NYT endorsed was Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1956.

They're right wing to you and Lemmy, but Lemmy is not the center of America's political compass. And I'm speaking as a rabid DJT hater who votes straight ticket Democrat, bar one primary I registered republican in just so I could vote against DJT.

Especially if you're mega rich.

“Well, one lesson I’ve learned is that just because I say something to a group and they laugh doesn’t mean it’s going to be all that hilarious as a post on X,” he said in a follow-up post early Monday. “Turns out that jokes are WAY less funny if people don’t know the context and the delivery is plain text."

I knew people like this in real life, who'd say something horrible and follow it up with "It's just a joke," but only if they 'lose' and are called out on it.

They're slimey jerks, and it's utterly miserable to even be around them. And I don't understand why so many would worship/follow Elon and dwell on Twitter for it.

Because gun violence is more of a risk than ever.

Honestly I would feel better with the sniper there, so they could stop random nut who shows up with an assault rifle. Which is really sad.

It says center and center-right outlets have a left bias

Which outlets, specifically?

Still an understatement, it deserves it and more.

I don't even like turned based games. I don't like most high fantasy. But holy moly, what a ride BG3 is.

I'm just gonna be pissed of their mixed support of modding (due to wotc) kills the modding community. If Skyrim and Rimworld can have a whole universe of fan content, BG3 should too.

She endorsed Biden before. It wasn't really a surprise.

It's still everywhere in my news/internet diet.

It's bleeding, for sure, but it's big. Its gone bad. But I think its premature to say its collapse is a good thing, because it just won't go away.

It's not dead though, it's still linked to everywhere, from big news to niche communities because it still has that critical mass and inertia.

And I have to be cynical of the Fediverse, but realistically, what replaces it, at least here in the US? Discord? No, thanks, I'd at least rather have information be public.

I'm speaking as someone who has never used Twitter, but I can't ignore it, as much as I'd like to.

 

Obviously there's not a lot of love for OpenAI and other corporate API generative AI here, but how does the community feel about self hosted models? Especially stuff like the Linux Foundation's Open Model Initiative?

I feel like a lot of people just don't know there are Apache/CC-BY-NC licensed "AI" they can run on sane desktops, right now, that are incredible. I'm thinking of the most recent Command-R, specifically. I can run it on one GPU, and it blows expensive API models away, and it's mine to use.

And there are efforts to kill the power cost of inference and training with stuff like matrix-multiplication free models, open source and legally licensed datasets, cheap training... and OpenAI and such want to shut down all of this because it breaks their monopoly, where they can just outspend everyone scaling , stealiing data and destroying the planet. And it's actually a threat to them.

Again, I feel like corporate social media vs fediverse is a good anology, where one is kinda destroying the planet and the other, while still niche, problematic and a WIP, kills a lot of the downsides.

 

Senior U.S., Qatari, Egyptian and Israeli officials will meet on Thursday under intense pressure to reach a breakthrough on the Gaza hostage and ceasefire deal.

he heads of the Israeli security and intelligence services told Netanyahu at the meeting on Wednesday that time is running out to reach a deal and emphasized that delay and insistence on certain positions in the negotiations could cost the lives of hostages, a senior Israeli official said.

 

HP is apparently testing these upcoming APUs in a single, 8-core configuration.

The Geekbench 5 ST score is around 2100, which is crazy... but not what I really care about. Strix Halo will have a 256 -bit memory bus and 40 CUs, which will make it a monster for local LLM inference.

I am praying AMD sells these things in embedded motherboards with a 128GB+ memory config. Especially in an 8-core config, as I'd rather not burn money and TDP on a 16 core version.
