Too many Youtube streamers nowadays will title their vids as if they are playing some popular game but they are playing something else, like "Exploring Baldur's Gate 3 - Tactical Combat, Deep Choices & Unforgettable Stories" when they are actually playing a golf game or the like...

FFXIV. Ages since I did the oft-maligned ARR patch content and I find the flow of conversations and adding allusions to future content smoothly done compared to much of the 'small talk' of Dawntrail, which has the references of things to come but the connecting interactions with NPC's is lacking.

Hmm, when did Microsoft start allowing Zen 1 CPU's to install Windows 11? Refurbished my old Biostar B350GT5 and Ryzen 7 1700 from 2017 and it happily took a new, clean 24H2 install with no complaints. I suspect MS will allow even older stuff thru the gate before the Win10 cutoff date.

Would be nice to see more restraining orders issued for these non-govt clowns grabbing a lot of the govt databases. Judicial system is running way too slow atm.

From a modding point of view, Baldur's Gate 3 will likely take over from Skyrim as the most modded game ever, and with solid help from Larian's mod integration support.

FFXXIV. Yoshi-p addressed the issue of the add-on that enables mapping all the chars tied to an account but at this point can only threaten legal action against those caught. Well aware that the real solution is to move that data to server side but that will be a major code change and take time.

Some term limits as well as age limits for govt would be a small help. Scotus 18yr, congress 4x4 for 20yr, senate 4x6 for 24 yr. And can't run if term will start after 70th birthday. Enough to learn how govt works but not to get totally entrenched for life.

Both nVidia and AMD''s newest GPU lineups are really 'meh'. AMD is using model numbers that might confuse buyers into thinking they are buying nVidia GPU's, while nVidia seems to think that saying AI when talking about their products allows for price hikes and little real improvement.

FFXIV Dawntrail. I hope at some point the poor Viera crafter Zoraal Ja brought to Earthenshire becomes part of some side quest. She's still there, in one of the crafting buildings, looking very pensive.

Walking along neighborhood road approaching major feeder lane. Flock of grackles all over the road and on the trail alongside. Car approaches and about 4 birds in the way move just enough to avoid car, rest are safe where they are. Me reaching the same point - whole flock freaks and flies away...

Best BG3 vid I've seen has a clip where a Wild Magic Barbarian caused everyone to become cats and dogs at the end of the Shadowfell Balthazar fight, including Nightsong. She stays that way almost to the end of the subsequent scene.

I think MS allowing ppl to install Win11 at this point is just data collection, not opening up the dam. They want to see what sorts of hardware are on PC's ppl -want- to move to 11. I expect they will ultimately make room for some common cases they see and still block the rest come next fall.

Isaac Asimov's Hari Seldon concluded that Trantor's 40b population was enough to develop a working model of Psychohistory. I think Asimov was off by a factor of 10 and that 4b is enough and some entities have been working on it and are achieving a degree of success.

@silirrion.bsky.social Good to see you here on Bluesky! Note on the old AoC engine with modern PC's: Ryzen 9800X3D / Radeon 7900 XTX / 1080p DX9: 250+ fps everywhere, CPU 15%, GPU 60% DX10: down to 59 fps in Wildlands, GPU 45% Am guessing that engine upgrade was a horror! Only see DX9/11/12 now.
