    What are you playing?

    This is a kind of mix between a simplified civ and roguelite game. You have the usual world map, with capturing tiles, and various resources for bonuses etc, with the addition of a meta-game upgrade tree that unlocks new bonuses and features, as well as a set of 'heroes' that you can equip to...

    Summer 2026 Anime Thread

    I laughed at how little effort they put into setting up the premise. It's like they wanted to be shield hero, but couldn't come up with a good story, so they just have his dad respond to him getting the knight class like he had announced he was becoming a ladyboy prostitute who levels up by...

    NVidia GeForce RTX 50x0 cards - 70% performance increase, but AI > you

    Also, if the AI market is so profitable that nvidia don't even both considering consumer market, why would anyone got after that rather than after the more valuable AI market ?

    They certainly put the C team on the drivers, and then told them it didn't matter if they didn't know how to write drivers, they can use AI to write them.

    Mage Tank is pretty fun, but never reaches greatness at any point - it's pretty consistent in quality up to date though, so if you like the early bits you'll probably continue liking it. It's a fair point on skill descriptions, but I'd also give him credit for putting a lot of thought into how...

    Bold that you think that that much memory won't cost more than the entire system this time next year ;p

    LitRPG

    Some new stuff I've liked over the last few months : Die Trying - this is a weird mix of urban fantasy, survival game, isekai and rogue-lite litrpg - I found it to be heaps of fun. Gods from a different, failing, planet/plane are fleeing the sinking ship to get to Earth and picking champions to...

    Partially out of curiosity, partially as leveling/gearing a couple of extra teams for raids, I've maxxed out all the DPS classes to go with my tank. On guardian, player controlled records so far: Reaver 17K Stormcaller* 21.5K Windblade 10K Arcanist 7.5K Paladin(lol) 6K For comparison, max...

    They are trying to sneak past them ? The monsters aren't vampires, they already showed they wake up if you make loud noises.

    Stargate SG-1

    Eh, the amazon seasons were watchable, didn't set the IP on fire, and had a reasonable ending. It's a low bar, but it could have been a lot worse. I think it's mostly expectations that taking the same writers, actors and showrunners and giving them a bigger budget should have resulted in better...

    NVidia GeForce RTX 50x0 cards - 70% performance increase, but AI > you

    I suspect this problem is going to self correcting, because all the LLMs are being sold at a crippling loss currently. The business case for not contracting off-shore resources or hiring junior devs looks a lot less appealing if the AI costs are 10x what they were 2 weeks ago ( given the squeeze...

    That's some amazing improvements: - Nameplates - main thing I wanted UI wise - Loot distribution - I was having nightmares about distributing loot among a raid group so this is great, the current system is stupid. - +1-+5 gear - nooo, my ocd, send help - windblade buffs - super needed, they...

    Widow's Bay

    I lol'ed at her double tapping, and then holding the shotgun on the body while they load it into the cremation furnace. Now *there* is a woman who knows her horror movie tropes.

    Mortal Kombat II (2025)

    Complaining about Cage losing the first fight when he is a washed up 50 year old who is currently shitfaced and got teleported out of a bar with no warning is ridiculous. I'd actually give it some credit for being an unexpected plot turn. I think the biggest disconnect here is that he's supposed...
