Came to say this same thing, Call of Cthulhu 1981 is a blast, the most fun I’ve had with a TTRPG.

Slow elevators make me want to murder.

“Who would win, me or an Austrian with plot armor and a hyper myostatin disorder that makes them naturally huge?”

“I mean, the Austrian, obviously. Don’t they usually travel in packs?”

“I don’t know, man, I’m built different. Plus I just got that new load out from space cabellas’s that makes me invisible and shit. I’m not saying it would be easy, but I could do it, I just know I could.”

“Sir, this is a space Wendy’s.”

“Alright, what if it’s normal non-Austrians, like a tribe of some sort? Hear me out…”

This is why I could not get through Xenocide. I absolutely loved Ender’s Game and Speaker For The Dead, two of the all time greatest, but xenocide was so flawed I just couldn’t keep going with the series. Also, fuck Orson Scott Card in general.

Thank you!

Can I bother anyone in this thread to help with suggestions for a Linux distro that works for a gaming PC that won’t require me to have a computer science degree? I’m not afraid of some troubleshooting here and there, but I’m kind of dumb.

Edit: I should have known there’d be a shotgun load of different distros, good thing I’ve been gifted with e-“waste” for years, I’ve got some tinkering to do. Hyper-fixation, here I come.

“I’m recording this, because this could be the last thing I’ll ever say. The city I once knew as home is teetering on the edge of radioactive oblivion. A three-hundred thousand degree baptism by nuclear fire.

I’m not sorry, we had it coming”

If we’re talking about actual AI, as a concept, then absolutely. These are prompt inputs, though, the software has no choice nor awareness, it is a machine being told to do something with the janky ass programming it was provided with as algorithms attempt to scrape data to guess what you’re saying. If AI were ever actually achieved it’s not something we would have control over, as it would be sentient and self realized, which is nothing like what an LLM is at fucking all in any way shape or form.

A large variety of aquatic phylogeny that is edible and nutritious for a carnivorous aquatic mammalian diet.

Admittedly it’s going to be harder to put into a show tune, but I’m sure they’ll come up with some catchy names.

I don’t have the tools to know how to respond to this comment. You win.

Edit: Holy shit. I just did a quick google. Boydster is not shitting us. Just google “bees are fish.” Oddly enough, this actually furthers the thesis of fish not existing.

Also, no such thing as fish.

Google it.

I need to pet that belly!

You’d be surprised.

You got it.

Thanks! Me too, he’s the best thing that ever happened to me, I love that boy so damned much.

He is handsome as fuck, and ridiculously charming and personable, but he doesn’t clean himself anymore, so you have to wash up after petting him. He also only eats wet food now and he goes at it like he’s a starving kitten every time, so his face is covered in food more often than not. And I’m pretty sure his breath could kill plants.

Greatest cat in the world, the best boy there could ever be.

Yup, he was from a litter my neighbors had, he wandered into my apartment when I was in high school, meowed ant me for pets, and we’ve been best friends ever since.

“From now, Willard, your name is Clark.”

I still miss GhostX.

This is Jim, he’s gross because he’s 23 but he’s still my handsome and adorable little buddy. He’s a dickhead.
