A Planescape area/sidequest, just make it so far out there and weird, but let it have almost nothing to do with the main plotline. You find some random portal that dumps you there and it’s just this weird sort of thing you get into that you never talk about again afterwards.
So useless that they’re probably just going to convert over to AI chat apps and you’ll just know from the get-go that everybody you talk to is a bot (instead of just 4 out of 5 users being bots). I’m guessing they’ll farm that sweet, juicy user-data from however many years now to train their AI on. Base level will be a semi-interested friend, but the higher-subscription level you pay into will unlock romantic options, naughty (ai-generated) pics, and they’ll eventually add a feature where you can go on virtual dates with your AI companion and they can scan your pictures/photos and make comments on what you “saw together” on your date. Maybe they’ll even insert themselves into the images to make it seem like they were really there. Hell, they’ll probably even get to a point where you can have live voice chats with them.
You could say that about literally any library of books, not just RPG books. Even if I myself may not read the books regularly, I still read them at some point, OR potentially I’m like a torchbearer, I’m just taking care of all these books for the day when somebody else discovers them and is able to read them. I may be dead and gone by then, but I’m doing my part to keep the books and the hobby alive.
There’s so many games that I picked up that I’d played through/completed in my childhood, but they’ll likely forever show as unplayed in my Steam library. I’ve been slowly going back through my Steam library chronologically though, to try to at least reduce my unplayed games amount, and also to at least check out games I might’ve missed. I’m not forcing my self to actually finish the games, just play them for at least a few minutes, maybe mark it for follow-up later, but the point is to reduce my unplayed games list so I don’t feel as bad about it.
Wakanda Forever. First part where we’re saying goodbye to Chadwick was good in a sad way, but I couldn’t stand anything else that happened after that. I was just so annoyed with every character, I hated every minute of it.
Secret Invasion is by far the worst Marvel production though, just a total shitshow and primarily what caused me to cancel D+, I was just done with the shitty writing.
It just felt like they were trying too hard in every scene. Ragnarok was great, one of the top Marvel movies, but the humor in that was unexpected, it hadn’t really been done like that before with Thor. We were used to this almost Shakespearian Thor, so it was a breath of fresh air. They needed to tone it down some more, maybe actually make it a bit more serious in L&T. They could’ve used it to question religion in general or something even.
Also, Thor getting chained up and stripped down naked was apparently fine for a Disney movie, but when I do it at the theme park I’m a “sex offender” and “exposing myself to minors”, what the fuck Disney?!
There was that one time that lead singer Jimmy Urine was accused of grooming, sexually assaulting, and molesting a 15-year-old girl, so that was kind of a thing.
TIL I’m German. I just always doublecheck everything has gone down, just a listen for something not right, a quick glance. It’s not like I’m hovering over the bowl like, “Yes, my little fecal babies, your time with me may be at an end, but your journey in this world has only just begun…” I mean, who does that? Not this well-adjusted person.
Still no idea, she could’ve put a paper towel or something in there or just used too much toilet paper. This was a month or two ago, so not likely we’ll ever know.
My daughter didn’t check the toilet after she flushed it right before bed. It was in a back bedroom that nobody else really goes to. It ended up flooding overnight and I didn’t discover it til the next morning, when I found my kitchen flooding from the ceiling. It apparently wasn’t from poop though as I didn’t see any fecal matter around (unless it was in the ceiling that got torn out). Whole kitchen ceiling got torn out, along with the floor of the bathroom. Not a huge amount of damage, but the most the house has sustained… so far.
Start a business selling my services as a duplicator, “No, these aren’t mere ‘forgeries’, I make exact copies of whatever you want, sir.” Can I copy people or living things too? That would expand the business, but otherwise I’d become self-employed being a copy artist. I might tour art museums and pick up copies of some of the best pieces.
I wonder if the AI is using bad code pulled from threads where people are asking questions about why their code isn’t working, but ChatGPT can’t tell the difference and just assumes all code is good code.
My Dad died about 4 years ago now and I still think about him almost daily. It was hard at first, but I’m not sure which I would’ve wanted, for people to have asked about him or to have not asked about him. Part of me wanted to crawl into a hole and not talk to anyone and part of me wanted people to have cared and know about him.
While it’s true you can’t sum up a person with “that’s a nice name,” they’re trying to make conversation, they probably don’t know what you know about him and if you want them to know, you’d need to correct them. My Dad really wasn’t social much throughout his life, so it kind of felt like just nobody cared at all, maybe half a dozen people in total ever really asked anything about him after he passed.
Avoid touching door handles as much as possible. The best defense is to just never come into contact with germs in the first place.
Because we’re seeing the enshittification of Lemmy itself. Like the snake eating its tail, or the human centipede feasting on its own digested shit, Lemmy is becoming the very thing it likes to harp on about.
Got into Breaking Bad a bit after it had its series finale, but before Better Call Saul was a thing. I don’t know that the show has ever been “on its way out” though, it just wasn’t being talked about as much at that point.
I can’t recall the last dream I had, it’s been years since I’ve either had a dream or had a dream I could remember. Supposedly everybody has dreams, but I can’t ever recall them and I used to recall them pretty vividly.
Regrowing teeth
There’s actually been quite a few waves of German immigration to the US throughout the years, they make up a pretty big part of US ancestry. There’s even been a myth that German almost became the national language in 1795 and only lost by a single vote in Congress, but it’s apparently just that, a myth. So it’s probably no wonder we share some cultural quirks like awkward goodbyes and a love for scheisse porn.
It’s kind of insane the amount of work people will do for free, just for the hell of it. I mean, just thinking of my own small world of tabletop RPG gaming and the number of people GMing and writing up stuff that they just give out for free is kind of heartwarming. It’s this weird drive to create and make storytelling worlds that other people can get lost in. I’ve worked on projects like that before and put shit tons of time and effort into them, not even considering that anybody might ever want to give me money for them (though likely it probably wouldn’t even be legal in this case without working directly with Bethesda and getting into licensing and such). Sometimes it’s just fulfilling to get lost working on a project that you love.
