Once my monitor mount comes in Monday, I am doing some changing to the gaming/stream setup. Removing the right monitor and replacing it with that one below the middle monitor. Main 1440p monitor is replacing the vertical monitor in the left. New main monitor is below.

That little screen is the Corsair Xeneon 14.5", it is touchscreen, and I will be using it for discord instead of having the 27" monitor to the right taking up space.

I don't even like Harry Potter, but if you let some internet dickhole's opinion of you dictate what you do, you are soft. Enjoy what you enjoy, and the sooner you realize people on here aren't real, your life gets way better
If I catch you watching this shit just know I’m judging you and think of you as less of a person.

Are those weird furry Fuggler things inspired by that dead hamster Quiznos mascot they had back in the day? The resemblance is too close to ignore.

But based on that trailer, wasn't Mass Effect damn near done? Also, they barely just got DICE and Respawn signed onto this. This is a horse shit response
Development on ‘STAR WARS: BATTLEFRONT 3’ has not begun yet. EA chose to invest in ‘Battlefront 3’ instead of a new ‘Mass Effect’ game and shut down BioWare as a result. (Source: bloomberg.com/news/newslette…)

Had stream all setup to go and my brain decided I needed to clean my office instead. So there goes that. I even found my @NVIDIAGeForce shill patch I wore on my hat for sponsored streams, but I don't even stream enough to get those anymore, so it just sits sad and lonely in a shelf

loaded up @WARDOGS on her new pc. 5070 with frame gen and all that ai nonsense, and she was getting damn near 400 frames on a 45" widescreen in whatever the 1440 resolution is for that size

I feel like I am in the wrong age bracket at the VA somewhere. First it was for a covid shot when they only gave it to boomers, now this...

Last 2 weeks have been so hectic that I misread the text from the PGA HOPE group wrong and drove to Ft Carson for golf on the wrong week. Oh well, they have a driving range, lol

Must resist joke
this is wild... a guy reverse-engineered his Meta Ray-Bans 3 with Opus 5.5 and turned it into a 3,000+ Elo chess engine it’s AI chess cheat glasses built on Opus 5.5 + Jev, and the whole workflow is open source here’s the full breakdown: step 1 → one command sets it up on your Mac: npx chesshacker setup it pulls Stockfish from GitHub and checks the checksum step 2 → put on the Ray-Bans and start a WhatsApp video call to your own Mac the glasses look at the board, and the Mac sees exactly what they see step 3 → the Mac captures frames straight from the call window about 1 per second while it waits for your opponent, 1 every 3 seconds when it’s your move step 4 → Jev runs a cheap filter on every frame: can it read the board? is a hand in the way? did a piece move? if nothing changed, the expensive AI call is skipped step 5 → only then does Opus 5.5 read the board it checks the result against the position it already has and accepts a move only if it’s legal step 6 → Stockfish thinks for half a second and returns the best reply with an eval like +1.5 or “mate in 3” step 7 → macOS reads the move aloud through a virtual mic into the call: “Rook a to d1”. it plays right in your ear step 8 → a command center on the Mac shows it all live: whose turn it is, the suggested move with a confidence bar, the move history and a log under the hood: → if Opus loses the board, the glasses say “Lost track of the board”. you fix it with undo or by typing the move in manually → if Stockfish crashes, it restarts once and says “Something went wrong. Still trying” → every game is saved as a PGN, and API keys are stored in the macOS Keychain → an overlay draws the suggested move as an arrow on the live video, ready to drop into OBS grab the workflow below 👇 then read the guide on reverse-engineering anything with Opus 5.5

I don't even care who he trash talks, this would be enjoyable regardless. George W only became funny after the war crimes, Barry has been funny

I would guess Weapon fights. Also, I have to stop reading everything about the game... they are telling us so much that nothing will be a surprise to me anymore
Naoki Hamaguchi says there will be 3 person synergy attacks in FF7 Revelation but only in special moments and you can’t do them at any time otherwise they would be too OP! “There are three person super attacks. But talking about this with Endo-san, obviously there are normal abilities, synergy abilities, the limit breaks and so we’d be adding to that as well. And if we added in the three person sync then obviously that’s going to be the strongest one, at the top of the tower, and everyone’s going to want to use that, which will make battles monotonous. So we decided not to make it something that could be used at any time. Instead we decided to make it more dependant on the gameplay experience. So I hope you’ll look forward to when they may pop up.” youtu.be/0L9taBzYv5I?si=7tlM…
