I'm going to play this some for the feels while I work on a bunch of other projects, I'm sick of POE2 and while I think of myself as an EQ person, when logging in I forgot how many characters I leveled to 60 in classic original WoW timeframe. WTF was doing with my life to have that much time...

There's a GTA 5? <Reinstalls Vice City>

Not that I doubted you but Hoe-Lee fuck this is stupid. I just wanted to screenshot it to prove it to myself. I still can't believe it even saying it to myself in my head. This breaks my brain.WWWWHHYYYYYYYY? So Archtype is either going to stand on it own or it isn't. There was a lot of...

They look to have an amazing skill tree but this is another game like Blood of the Dawnwalker and Metaphor Refantazio(?) that want to use time as a resource to make the game something of a roguelike, and while that may work for some people, I personally fucking HATE It with the passion of a...

More evidence of the building bubble, repacking of bad debt, etc:

That's all true but it doesn't mean that it's not a bubble. Internet was a bubble and it was 1.3% of GDP; When the rail spending bubble of the post-Civil war late 1860's spending popped, it was like 2.2% of GDP; there is no doubt AI is doing amazing, civilization-changing things (there is no...

Look, I am a huge AI fan, its amazing but there is no doubt we are in bubble territory: Bubbles don't last, and things that can't go on forever, don't go on forever. RAM, hard drives, etc aren't going to be this expensive forever and that was my original point: While it may indeed transition to...

OK, so after a long, slow decline (more than two decades), many people switched over to software distribution. Where has that same tendency been exhibited in the hardware space? A ton of players have spent BILLIONS trying to convince people they didn't need to spend money on hardware, that...

I mean, yeeeeeeees potentially, maybe but not for a while. I mean, that's not Flying cars THE FUTURE™ but its still the future, as in decade(s) away. What is the paradigm that gets us there? What use case makes people give up desktops/ipads/laptops/phones? One of the great (and terrible) but...

I have a few things to do local AI and my experience with it hasn't been great. I much prefer my cloud AI subs to my LMStudio Qwen3.8 for anything. I didn't realize how limited local AI was; it either knows or it doesn't, and doesn't search for anything. Mine wouldn't update, look on the web...

Before GPT 6.0 hit, I was uploading my POE2 build to Path of Building and my build and using ChatGPT (I guess is was medium-effort Opus 4.8) to scour the market looking for equipment upgrades. I pride myself on getting good stuff for cheap and I swear it could always find things I couldn't. The...

So as I have mentioned previously, I grew up near the TX/LA border, and LA always had a lower drinking age/a more permissive drinking culture than TX, so always held allure for teens/young adults of all ages from both states. Later on as a young adult I ran security in one of the nightclubs in...

Reverse engineering continues to reveal secrets. This is going to be some of the best things ever: [AsmonGold Short: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QRjyh9t3Jeo&list=WL&index=147

Folks have already answered but generally its defense in depth: 1)Open-source is visible, allowing everyone to see what directly is in there to know what is in the code. 2) Git repos are generally available and people make it a point to scan them; also when you use/integrate/install them, your...
