I love MCC, but I don’t like competitive FPS games at all. I’m in it exclusively for the campaign, and occasionally custom games. That said: playing any FPS with a controller is an incredibly frustrating experience. I know what I want to happen, but my hands can’t make it happen.

Yeah! I really like the combat in KotOR. It’s like a normal turn based CRPG, but faster.

Vimm’s Lair probably has whatever PS3 games you want- google should find that site easily. I have no clue on DLCs- I don’t think I’ve ever emulated a PS3 game that had DLCs so I can’t really help.

RPCS3 is very user friendly as far as emulators go so you might be surprised with what non-techie people can do with it. AC4 multiplayer is listed as compatible with RPCN so you could probably play it multiplayer, it’s just a question of actually finding people playing it.

As for Xbox 360 emulation: again, you can get files from Vimm’s but I’d suggest you let that cook. Xenia is the only 360 emulator I’m aware of. It definitely works, but it’s still in rough shape right now. Needs more time. I know OG Xbox emulators exist, but I’ve never looked into them personally.

Has it not? I feel like 16:9 has basically won, with a consolation prize for 16:10

I think a double split end is a pretty great fit for mildly interesting? It’s not that it’s a split end, it’s that the split ends then split.

It’s mildlyinteresting, not roastme or haircare advice.

I actually have, it’s an extremely obscure Celtic god. I first heard of him in Smite, though.

That’s why I don’t really use them myself. I’m not willing to spread misinformation just because ChatGPT told me it was true, but I also have no interest in going back over every response and double checking that it’s not just making shit up.

Well, the primary thing is that you can ask extremely specific questions and get tailored responses.

That’s the best use case for LLMs, imo. It’s less of a replacement for a traditional encyclopedia- though people use it like that also- and more of a replacement for googling your question and getting a Reddit thread where someone explains.

The issue comes when people take everything it spits out as gospel, and do zero fact checking on it- basically the way that they hallucinate is the problem I have with it.

If there’s a chance it’s going to just flatly make things up, invent statistics, or just be entirely wrong… I’d rather just use a normal forum and ask a real person that probably has a clue whatever question I have. Or try to find where someone has already asked that question and got an answer.

…why is that relevant?

Do you filter literally all the water you intake, or do you think they only used lead pipes for the water hoses outside or something?

I was drinking hose water well into the 2000s. Shit hit different.

This reads like one of the results on a personality quiz.

I watched a documentary about a guy that went undercover with a lot of alt-right crazies. Proper straight up 1488 neo-nazi types. The guy offhandedly mentioned that they did initiations and filmed recruitment videos… in the town next to mine.

It’s generally extremely Republican-leaning here, full on MAGA signs in lawns type shit. I still did not expect that. I’ve never actually run into someone that was a blatant Nazi. I think they just keep a lid on this shit in public.

I have met a few ‘just asking questions’ types, though.

I absolutely hate basically everything about modern logos and UI design. It looks like shit, and for UIs it’s not even efficient usually.

Baptisms aren’t just a Baptist thing, though they generally put more weight behind it than most other denominations that do it. At least from what I’ve seen.

I was Pentecostal growing up, and a few times a year- generally around Christmas and Easter- they’d do an open baptism and anyone who wanted could get dunked. I went to one church without that big tub behind the pulpit you’re talking about- they’d do it in the river nearby. Cold as hell in the winter.

Basically every brand of Christianity that I’m aware of has some form of baptism, though the exact way it’s done varies a lot.

Matthew 28:19 is, “Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit”

Yep, almost entirely!

Well, yeah. I’m aware. I’ve just never seen them referred to like that, and I do have an interest in tanks so I was surprised.

TIL the Panther, Tiger, and Maus are also named the Pz. V, Pz. VI, and Pz. VIII. Never heard of the Panzer VII before, looks weird. Almost like a German IS-2.

I got the notification for this earlier, first time a Fredrik Knudsen video has been something I actually have some prior knowledge of so I was very interested.

Man, did I miss a ton of drama apparently.
