Huge fan of this author’s books. Tusks of Eternity blew my mind. Short read, absolutely wild premise of an elephant researcher’s mind being transferred into a cloned Mammoth in the distant future. Deals with the idea of non-human animals having unseen cultures that are just as important as their genetic material for the species’ survival. That and how destructive humanity is to the environment and ourselves.

I actually read Palaces of the Crow earlier this year and while it is less sci fi than the other books by Mr. Nayler, I loved it too.

I’ll have to pick up Where the Axe is Buried at some point. Thanks for the review.

Do you have any mutual friends that might be able to corroborate?

I guess that’s a fair point, I may just be confused based on my own limited understanding.

Is it as simple as deleting everything after the first 11 characters post / like in the picture? Is that universal to every YouTube link?

Anyone know of any tools in the Apple ecosystem or URL based tools?

Imagine the Crimson Skies (game) universe but with a more interesting story.

Sorry if you liked the plot, I loved the game but the story wasn’t particularly memorable for me.

Pretty sure ladybugs eat aphids, so why not have your cake and eat it too?

Thats hilarious.

I was thinking of showing up as the Ice King from Adventure Time earlier, but I’m not sure the joke would land.

whoops… yeah definitely could have worded that better.

I love it, I can just say the snow melted off of me before I got to the party.

I still use a Tesseract Deepcool case for my home PC that I got in the mid 2010s. Nothing groundbreaking, could have more fan slots. It didn’t change the world, but it did open my world to building PCs and picking parts, so that’s cool.

100% not what you are talking about.

I dunno, there were pretty big anti mask movements back in the 1918 “Spanish” Influenza pandemic. I think it’s completely possible that ignorance can persist, even in the face of obvious oblivion.

That looks clean! I wish I could find an aftermarket replacement or 3d print model for a 2ds shell, but nobody seems to make those for some reason.

Its not inherently better than sending someone a playlist by any other means but on the other hand I just think its neat to have a physical thing that you have to intentionally plug into something and listen to in a specific order and way. That and the way that tech/streaming is changing the ways we interact with music on a personal and cultural level is overwhelming to me, makes me nostalgic for the limitations of older mediums. When you had to be intentional about what and how you listened, it (at least to me) made a deeper connection between me and the music as a listener. Fortunately we can still be intentional in many ways, its just easier to not do that with streaming and algorithmically recommended stuff.

I do wish that my friends would still send each other playlists in any format.

Found a video on Technopants itch.io page:

Basically a no gravity samurai gunn with bombs. I think it’s a free/pay what you want sort of download.

I was hoping someone would mention Samurai Gunn. Did you ever play 0space made by the same developer? I have very fond memories of crowding around my friend’s computer with a handful of USB remotes in college and fighting it out with each other.

I guess it depends on how you want to interpret the analogy. It looked to me to be adding facial features, details in the background, and changing lighting from the videos and images I saw.

So maybe with your parameters for the analogy it’s more like if you went to listen to a Lo-Fi, basement recorded song using cheap gear and microphones, and your AI music player “sharpened details” to make it sound like it was recorded in higher detail by shaping the tracks and adding frames and increasing the bit rate while adding impulse responses and other emulated effects to make the recording sound more detailed/hi-fi.

For many people this would ruin the song, but I’m sure there are people out there who would love that sort of feature.

The DLSS 5 effect is less like a different pair of headphones that don’t have a flat response and more like if your music player added AI generated instruments to the songs in your music library. I think that was what the previous poster was arguing (I agree with them).

Part of me wonders if it is internally consistent, or if Leon’s face changes just a little every time he pops up in a new scene in the new RE with DLSS on.
