The only fishing game I’ve ever played was The Black Bass on the NES. Being an older game, it has fairly simplistic gameplay that’s actually very similar to the fishing mini games that you see today.

Upset about notepad, so downloaded a bunch of random software that has nothing to do with editing text files?

I like swarmui. It’s an easy to use interface for generation, but it’s built on top of comfyui. The easy interface can handle most common scenarios, but if you need a really complex workflow, you just click over to another tab and you have direct access to the actual comfyui, to build up whatever workflow you want.

I don’t really feel like going down the rabbit hole of trying a hundred different distros to maybe find one that works. My experiences with those two were that things were completely broken, randomly. Like just trying to boot the USB installer would lock up half the time, the installer itself would fail partway through most of the time, when things got fully installed, trying to update or install new things would just fail randomly. The kde desktop would crash just from me changing settings in the kde menus.

They are ranked number 3 and 13 on distro watch, so they are hardly unknown. And lots on Linux YouTubers were talking about how great they were.

My priorities are being able to run Davinci resolve and Steam games. Nobara ticks those boxes while advertising itself as user friendly. I have heard too many stories of people having trouble getting this stuff running on something like Linux mint, so I didn’t go in that direction. I need to do more with my computer than just view web sites or write code.

A couple weeks ago I attempted to switch over to Linux. Tried installing both Cachyos and Nobara. It was kind of a shit show, nothing worked correctly, stuff was erroring out and crashing left and right, and after a couple days I gave up.

Today I went ahead and installed windows 11. There were some issues… It wouldn’t recognize my CD key, and I accidentally wiped a partition from the wrong drive. But as for the os itself, I spent a few hours getting things set up, and it’s not as horrible as I thought it would be. I was able to simply turn off most of the shit like copilot and recall, and all the advertisements, and I pretty much have it working as I want it to.

Looks like some of the biggest changes the series has ever seen. I’m excited for it, but like many others, not excited enough for the price they are asking right now.

Hopefully they will finally announce some kind of a proper remake. I thought the dragon quest xi engine would have been perfect for it, but I would settle for one of those hd2d things.

Headline: “This company got a copyright for an image made entirely with AI”

From the article: “In the certificate of registration, also viewed by CNET, the office said that the AI-generated components were excluded from the copyright claim.”

Clickbait aside, it’s clear that there was an element of human authorship here, and those aspects of the image are what can be copyrighted. This is in line with recent guidelines that the copyright office provided regarding AI generation.

I’ve been playing this game ever since beta and have enjoyed it. It’s a shame to see it go, but I guess I got my money’s worth, since I paid nothing. Still, I can’t understand why they can’t just let people keep playing online like every other fighting game out there. I would even be willing to pay a one time fee if I knew the basic gameplay would remain available.

I feel like if an NPC doesn’t have something meaningful to say, then they may as well not exist. Otherwise they just serve to waste the players time.

LOL, their demo shows Cyberpunk running at a mere 27fps on the 5090 with DLSS off. Is that supposed to sell me on this product?

It looks like the rom size is around 4 Megabytes, so that is really quite impressive.

It reminds me of Dragons Lair 3 which I believe came on 6 floppies.

Soulseek has had my back so many times when I need to find a really obscure track that can’t be found anywhere else.

I’ve found that as I got older, my taste in games has narrowed significantly. I used to be able to play pretty much anything, or especially any popular or critically acclaimed games. But these days I just don’t give a shit about most of what’s out there. I do have certain genres and developers that interest me though, so I know there are occasionally going to be some new games that I really like. And every now and then I might get surprised by something too.

Slightly better performance than a 4060 and $50 cheaper. But the 4060 is about to be replaced with a newer model at this point, so is it actually a good deal? Questionable.

Looks like an exciting model. I am curious to see how it will be with finetunes and controlnets. Could potentially be better than sdxl. It does unfortunately appear to be a non commercial license though, which might limit interest.

The game was in a pretty rough state when they relaunched it, but they have been slowly improving it a bit at a time (it often feels like 2 steps forward, 1 step back). I feel like the game is in a pretty good spot though. I enjoy it and am looking forward to season 4.

I’m more surprised that this game is still running. I haven’t heard of anyone playing it in years.
