Value gained, actually.

Just gonna pitch in here, but I’m no expert. I was reading people’s reactions when that TLD was introduced, and they raised concerns over the possibility that a bad actor could spoof an address that actually downloads a .zip file to your device when you click the link, even though you may assume it’s an address to a page. No idea what a hypothetical virus could do from a compressed environment, but thats what I remember reading.

Sorry to any experts if I’m muddying the waters with a dumb take!

Best shit I’ve seen all week.

I played the trumpet for several years and I love that instrument. It’s bad enough that the names coincide; please don’t make it worse 😭

And these are the leading theories. Now let’s see the crackpot ones!

I’ve always been very curious about this technology, but I imagine that they wouldn’t be as good at transmitting high frequencies. I’m no audio engineer so it’s only a hunch of course. Do they sound comparable to a decent pair of buds in the ear?

Oh I agree 100% on your point about using a guide, but I have this weird fixation on beating it as if I had gotten it on release when I was a kid. The only thing I’m allowing myself is a PDF of the manual that came with it, and no save states. I finally played and beat Super Metroid just recently with the same restrictions (on my childhood SNES and a real cartridge!) and it felt very satisfying.

As for my long-term patience, I have a second monitor and countless hours of long-form YouTube content to keep me entertained through the mundane moments.

I’ll definitely give Samus Returns a try as well. Thanks for the recommendation!

Metroid II, the original one for Game Boy. I want to play AM2R eventually but I want to properly appreciate the work that went into it. And I’m trying my hardest to do it, so far successfully, without consulting a map.

So far I have:

• bomb
• spider ball
• spring ball
• high jump boots
• Varia suit
• wave beam (replaced the ice beam)

After more than seven hours I’m starting to go insane, but my stubbornness knows no bounds. I’ve seen every room of the game at least 20 times and probably bombed every single tile. The only place I know for a fact is new is, well, entirely submerged in lava. I’m at an impasse 😞

I fear that this will lead to so much Intel leaking that it will put War Thunder players to shame.

Please! It would be such a nice improvement!

I want to get out of here :(

I thought he was maybe behind the driver’s seat but it’s hard to tell.

What I don’t understand is how in the hell he’s wearing that seatbelt. It looks like a great way to ensure you don’t survive an accident

I haven’t played Foundation, but since you’re looking for laid-back and medieval, there’s a really cozy looking game I want to try called Tiny Glade that apparently has no objectives. It seems to be a pure sandbox game.

Plus, if you like supporting devs who use smaller/less-well-known engines, this one runs on Bevy, a small Rust-based engine!

When I read your comment, I internalized “sorted” as “sordid.” I guess either one works!

Not being able to give support to friends and family will feel really weird.

I see it as being liberated. Besides, while it’ll suck to be unable to fix their problems, if it gets bad enough that they consider other operating systems, you’ll be right there to help them switch!

Never heard of the greengrocer’s apostrophe so I looked it up. https://www.thoughtco.com/what-is-a-greengrocers-apostrophe-1690826

I absolutely love that there’s a group called the Apostrophe Protection Society. Is there something like that for the Oxford Comma? I’d gladly join them!

There are dozens of us!

The “fun” part is that it has already discovered the poop knife. We just need to figure out how to coax it out.

I’ll definitely give the web UI a shot since I’m already quite familiar with A1111 and it seems they’re trying to recreate the same look and feel. Thank you for the info!

I’ve been wanting to run that one on my hardware but GPT4All just refuses to start its GUI. The only thing is a “chat.exe” that sits idle in the task manager. And this is an issue I’ve seen reported in their Github from several users, on both Win 10 and 11.

Have you find success with that frontend, or are you using one that actually works? I haven’t researched any others since this issue has me a little burnt out.
