  • so many good options on here already so I’ll add one that’s a little more of a dedicated game:

    Arkham lcg.

    you create a deck that represents the character you will play in a series of approximately eight games where you cooperatively work through Lovecraftian mysteries loaded with interesting stories lore and twists.

    has almost a tabletop RPG feel to it if it was converted to a card game, absolutely love it.




  • people look at this stuff as a yes or no and that’s a major misunderstanding.

    I work in tech, and I can tell you 100% you could not just give a job to AI and call it a day.

    I cannot even imagine this type of response generation ever being capable of that without developing some sort of true intelligence if for no other reason than to turn bad prompts by people who do not understand what they want or what is possible into functional projects.

    that said, but I do believe is possible is that it makes like 5 to 10% of the job a little bit faster. programming is like 10 to 20% writing code and 80 to 90% understanding what that code should be and why it isn’t working that way yet.

    Even the code you get from it is generally wrong but sometimes useful.

    best case scenario I could see right now is not that it replaces jobs but that it makes people more effective, kind of like giving a framer a nail gun instead of a box of nails and a hammer except not that big of an efficiency gain.

    ultimately this might mean you do the job with 8 people instead of 10, or something like that.

    if it reduced the total number of jobs because it was a tool that made people more effective - did it take the job away?



  • I can kind of get behind like Grandma renting out a house that she spent 30 years paying off so that she isn’t starving on social security alone kind of stuff.

    maybe like an allowance that an individual could at most have one home they’re renting out. there should also be significant controls about the price of rent, maybe tied to the price of home purchases so that renters could not get screwed paying more than they would have had to pay to buy the place.

    but in my opinion no corporation should be able to rent homes.

    honestly even apartments should be required to have a lease own option that is not significantly different cost than renting.


  • yeah they definitely need to improve degradation time, but there absolutely is reason to use them instead of TP.

    I don’t use all the time but tried them during recovery based on the recommendation of the surgeon that removed my hemorrhoids.

    significantly easier on the healing bum than tp was, bidet gets most of it but you’re not 100% clean every time.

    (I don’t think I’ve ever not had to wipe a time or two even after lots of movement and higher pressure on bidet. wipes clean better than tp, and bidet just doesn’t get everything unless you’re one of those lucky people that wouldn’t use much tp anyway)








  • I definitely spent a frustrated 45 minutes trying to figure out why curl wasn’t working when it was supposed to be supported in PowerShell.

    then I hit tab a couple of times and noticed curl.exe was an option, that works exactly the same as I had expected with original syntax.

    they do this to a lot of things though a lot of common commands end up being an alias to a powershell command with a specific option set that doesn’t always line up
