Posts I've Made

  1. In Topic: What's messing with your groove?

    Yesterday, 05:24 PM

    It's absolutely a bubble and the data centers to use these chips, GPUs, or RAM don't exist yet. So these are literally sitting in a series of warehouses.

    This is close to a panic.

  2. In Topic: 2025 BEST OF THE BESTEST READS

    09 December 2025 - 01:25 PM

    The AI that features centrally in Dungeon Crawler Carl is literally being tortured to do something it doesn't want to do and hates that it has to steal ideas/blend concepts/hurt others.

    The point is that remixing other people's artistic works with generative algorithms is a soulless, hurtful thing to do - which is why we shouldn't do it or suggest it.

    Anyways, I have a signed copy of Jeff Vandermeer's Absolution that I'm looking forward to finishing, Wes Chu's last book, an actual Black Company book, and a couple more to finish in the next couple months.

    is any time spent on 'stats', characters looking at conveniently located magic/virtual/wrist screens and monologuing how powerful they are or aren't?

    No stat viewing, general levels of people are discussed, no wrist screens, some talk of how to evaluate who is strong and who isn't.

    I bailed on the Sun Sword because the execution of scenes, especially the mask thing and the Riven Shield stuff, was under baked. The Jewel Den books were much more interesting, but I didn't feel like looping back.

    I will check out the summary and see what it puts up on the board for me.

    I can’t recall, did you finish all the Den books?

    I read Hidden City, City of Night, House Name, then started into the Sun Sword series reaching some portion of the Shield book before stopping in full. Most of the books have reviews from me in the bigger thread.

    I love how well you write in discussions. It's like a far more articulate version of me saying things I want to say.

    I needed an excuse to change my profile status so I used it to respond to your incredulity that I am still alive.

    Um, the NEW SANDMAN trades have the Absolute -recolouring-...but the older trades don't. You can see a comparison here at the link below and personally I think it's staggeringly different for tonal value of the panels. http://www.comicsalliance.com/2010/09/23/absolute-sandman-recoloring/

    Oh, and cheers for calling me out on the pics on the election thread, I have a bad habit of not registering if a thread's in Discussion or not but I will cut down on the no content posts there.

    heh, sorry, didn't mean to make it look like you were resentful of my presence or anything. I just felt most comfortable approaching you about it. As QT mentioned there are others who feel the same as him. I'll still be around, but I'm just saying I wouldn't be offended. :p

    By the way, if you guys want to have a Terez-free WoT thread, I wouldn't object to that. To be honest, I probably won't be discussing WoT online much longer anyway. It's not good for me. ;) I'm told some people feel like they have to defend a dissertation to discuss WoT with me. Not true, really, but I get it.
