I am a hobbyist artist, but I do like to do commissions when I can! I’ll probably mostly post my art on here, but I’ll probably end up engaging with a lot more.

Remember, if Valve actually lost this suit, which they almost certainly won’t, it won’t improve the videogame ecosystem. It will possibly make it worse.

Considering what the boomers and Gen x have put the millennials through, I’m not surprised they’re susceptible to romance scams.

I don’t know if I’ve seen one physically last more than 3, so I’m not sure how much this does.

I know of three instant game end dialogue options. One with Astarion, one with Volo, and one in the House of Hope. I think there might be a few more as well.

There’s also one with Mystra I think.

He has such an outrageous amount of wealth that he’ll never be poor. Not even if all his assets are nationalized. He’s probably squirreled away money in as many holes as possible. He will probably never see any proper justice for any of his actions.

Considering that there are swaths of the population to this day that barely consider (If they consider at all) certain other swaths conscious beings, I don’t have high hopes for us figuring out if an AI is.

    I remember seeing an article somewhere about this. Effectively, there really bad diminishing returns with these game graphics. You could triple the detail, but there’s only so much that can fit on the screen, or in your eyes.

    And at the same time, they’re bloating many of these AAA games sizes with all manner of garbage too, while simultaneously cutting the corners of what is actually good about them.

    Does the distinction even matter in this context? Neither is good and neither should be permitted.

    New Covid vaccines are on the way as 'Eris' variant rises (www.reuters.com)

    Some public health experts hope that Americans will welcome the new shot as they would a flu jab. But demand for the vaccine has dropped sharply since 2021 when it first became available and more than 240 million people in the U.S., or 73% of the population, received at least one shot....

    BG3 does have a few too many “the ceiling collapses and you all die” moments for my liking, but, for the most part, I do like it. It just came out, so it’s still going to probably get some balancing patches!

    There are many spells and items in the game that would be pretty good in a TT game IMO

    Since that information is supposed to be public knowledge and easily accessible, I don’t think it would fall under the law.

    That being said, I don’t exactly expect certain parts of the US to actually apply laws correctly.

    Comcast, Centurylink Fail To Derail Community-Owned Gigabit Fiber Network In Bountiful, Utah (www.techdirt.com)

    The city of Bountiful, Utah voted to build a $48 million fiber network to provide affordable gigabit broadband for its residents and businesses. Regional internet providers Comcast and CenturyLink opposed the plan and tried to force a public vote through a taxpayer group they fund. However, communities often build their own...

    Private ISPs could do it better if they weren’t largely all monopolies. The US average internet speed is a fraction of most other developed countries mostly because of them.

    Morgott was one of the Demigods born of Godfrey, First Elden Lord, and Queen Marika. However, he and his brother Mohg were both cursed as Omens and hidden deep beneath Leyndell in the Shunning Grounds. When the Shattering occurred, his Demigod kin scattered to the winds, absconding with the fragments of the Elden Ring. Only he...

    Most emotional moments in games? (SPOILERS)

    Just for the heads up, this thread will probably have a lot of spoilers. I’m gonna try to go vague on spoilers for anybody that hasn’t played Hotline Miami 2. If you’ve played the game, you’ll probably know what I mean, but I’m going to say some purposefully esoteric shit to keep it out of full spoiler territory....

    Not me, but my little sister was bawling at the end of Undertale.

    For me, it’s maybe beating Sword Saint Isshin. I think I almost cried in relief, since I’d been hitting my head against that wall for like a week.

    I also liked the Dragon Age Inquisition endings, the one DLC with the Qunari and the palace and going threw Elven ruins shattered through space. The song on the mountains when you find the new headquarters was cool too.

    Elden Ring Tarot - X - The Wheel of Fortune (beehaw.org)

    The nomadic merchants once roamed widely in the Lands Between as the “Great Caravan.” However, long ago, they were accused of Heresy. Their clan, far and wide, was rounded up and buried alive deep below the earth. In their terror and sorrow, they chanted a fateful curse of despair, one that conjured forth the Frenzied Flame....

    That’s often how it goes. Something doesn’t do what you expect, so you have to keep trying new things until you figure out why it wasn’t what you expect.

    Yup, you never know what the cause of the discrepancy could be. It seems even the original team could only get it to work 10% of the time anyway, and they were familiar with the process. Even with detailed instructions, another unfamiliar team may not be able to recreate it even that often.

    Until they determine what factor is leading to the occasional creation of the product, it’s effectively random whether they will create it or not. It could theoretically take 1000 tries to get it to work once. Or 1,000,000 times. But, it will probably take around 10.

    That is, of course, if the product they claim to have made is real. If it isn’t real, then they’ll never get it. And, if they can figure out what exactly is making it or not, then they should be able to adapt the process to near perfect odds.

    Elden Ring Tarot - IX - The Hermit (beehaw.org)

    Miquella was cursed with eternal childhood. Perhaps immortality might be a boon for others, but it was a burden for the Empyrean. Perhaps thanks to his curse, however, Miquella learned well how to compel affection, and to lead others. His ambitions would lead him to look outside the Golden Order to cure his sister Malenia, and...

    On the topic of instakills, I always mod them out of Fallout 4 and Skyrim, because it’s annoying as hell that I can be instakilled from full HP, when it would otherwise take several hits to even endanger me.

    Elden Ring Tarot - VIII - Strength (beehaw.org)

    Malenia was born cursed as a vessel of the Scarlet Rot, a rotting plague that not even Golden Order Fundamentalism was unable to cure. Her brother, Miquella, sought a cure beyond the Order, while Malenia sought to serve her brother’s ambitions. She learned swordsmanship from a blue-robed master, likely the same figure who had...

    Yeah, no worries! It’s not like I’m trying to really make a proper tarot card deck after all, as I am no mystic! I used the symbolism of the characters own stories to determine which cards I wanted to use. Some of them were a bit of a challenge of course!

    Elden Ring Tarot - VI - The Chariot (beehaw.org)

    Blaidd is a half-wolf an an entity created by the Greater Will’s agents to attend to, serve, and to leash the Empyreans. Blaidd in particular was raised as a half brother to his charge, Lunar Princess Ranni. Half Wolves such as Blaidd or Maliketh were also meant to act as a last ditch effort to control or eliminate empyreans...

    Elden Ring Tarot - VI - The Lovers (beehaw.org)

    Renalla was one of the ancient Astrologers, and her prowess was so great that she founded a royal family, the Carians. She and the princesses of the Carians were famous for their sorcery, specifically cold and moon sorceries. With her Full Moon Sorcery, Renalla captivated the Raya Lucarian academy, and her and her family’s...

    Nah, no chance of that!

    And thanks!

    The Hermit does feature Miquella though! There isn’t a Mohg card, but I considered him for the Devil! Also Shabriri!

    Elden Ring Tarot - V - The Hierophant (beehaw.org)

    Miriel is known as the Pastor of Vows and is a canine of great honor, wisdom, and renown. In his role as Pastor, he brought the union of the Carian royalty and the hero Radagon to fruition and brought peace, however temporarily, to the Lands Between. After all, heresy is not native to the world; it is but a contrivance. All...

    Hoarah Loux was a warrior unmatched, and would take Serosh upon his shoulder, to tame his bloodlust and rage, to bring himself a noble presence and name, Godfrey.
