I'm with DotF until the end. Based on my keen and unbiased perspective on DotF if I ever come to this thread and staunchly exclaim every LitRPG fan should read the series, your reaction should be to immediately put down your current book, apprehensively shake your head at my post and go back...

Yep.

Yeah, Path of Ascension is like.... a space opera whose main character is actually the emperor and Matt and crew are just plot devices to explore the geopolitics. It's enjoyable but it's such a loooooong burn and the suspense is the political ramifications of what Matt does and not the...

Just bought and hooked up Thrustmaster T16000M FCS ($82 on https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01MQEDEEW ). Within a few races I was already more comfortable with racing than with my XBOX 360 controller. Maybe it's just me but subtle steering control on a tiny gamepad joystick is awkward, especially when...

Yep. Most experienced modders started their first mod because they wanted it to exist. They then evolved into doing it for the love of modding and often don't even play the game much. Modders are also extremely territorial, prideful and prone to sudden absence, which causes all kinds of drama in...

Yep. And I might be more patient than most with book releases, but I wouldn't mind him releasing the rest of the primary books at a consistent ~3yr pace while dumping a bunch of adjacent media out.

Hmmm..... AI is increasing computer cost in the short-term, but as the industry advances computation power as it relates to AI (which is a close enough analog to transistor count) will increase to support Moore's law.

I dispute this, because "edge based computing" is improving with Moore's law along with all the improvements to cloud-based computing. Even my phone which is generally built to have constant wirelss communication has much more utility when it works without service. Starlink, which accomplishes...

Doubt it. A Song of Ice and Fire and related works: A Song of Ice and Fireseries: A Game of Thrones (1996) A Clash of Kings (1998) A Storm of Swords (2000) A Feast for Crows (2005) A Dance with Dragons (2011) The Winds of Winter (planned) A Dream of Spring (planned) Dungeon Crawler Carl...

That's super sad. In that crowd they should know better and have a mechanism to detect when you pass out to perform CPR. Like, they have to hold a rock above the water or something. This video is super old and has changed the way I view CPR. I'm sure assistant bro's heart is beating at 180...

Cool. I used to work in Unity, the last 6 years I've been using Unreal Engine. It's really good but the last 2 years of UE5 development have been a bit of a disappointment. I'm wondering if UE6 is going to die under its own weight and get outworked by Godot.

That's funny. Anytime I see the OG particle effects in a video it's a pure nostalgia hit for me, despite having been playing EQ steadily over the last decade. That they haven't enabled it despite people wanting it is just one of many instances of them being incapable. THJ is just the tip of the...

That's interesting. I'm not familiar with EQ's packet structure, much less MnM. Is their packet structure significantly different? The way a human would do it (Or at least, what I do when I need to reverse engineer closed source systems...) is record the datastream in wireshark and trigger...
