So when is real id age verification starting for all of the AI crap openai has in it’s platforms? Let me just hold my breath on this

So the was this dnd inspired text based multi user game. Actually there are hundreds of clones and variations.

It was called circleMUD. The server version I played was called Riftsmud.

Now it was a long ass time ago and World of Warcraft didn’t exist at all yet.

When I started playing there was a level 50 cap. A few years later they revised the game and it became a level 100 cap.

Now we grinded. Oh my God did we grind.

But when you hit those power spikes it was so worth it. The grinding actually meant something because when you hit the level cap and maxed out your experience you could remort.

Meaning start over picking your class all over again and a keep a all the level up stat bonuses you got every 10 levels.

And also a base increase on your health/mana/stamina

The other thing though was that you also kept 15% of the skills from the class you maxed out.

Some of the classes(casters mainly) got skills or spells almost every level. Martial classes many boring levels.

However after a few times remorting you started to develop a unique way to play the game.

And while originally it was completely random what should you got, to we ended up getting to designate a few skills and you would get one of those 4 for sure, and if lucky more than one.

Some skills were unique to a class. Some were available at different levels between classes. A neat thing was if you had a keep at a higher level than another, if you ever went a class with a lower level you would lower the level on your keep, so keeping them at the lowest level first was awesome, or getting those unique skills first time round

Did my 21 time remort character hit 24 attacks in a really lucky roll when using the ranger skill flurry? Yes yes he did.

Did I find out that if you successfully execute the skill, but a teammate kills the enemy before your hits land the flurry is saved until your next round of attacks? I did

Did I also have a skill called rampage that attacked every mob in the room with your full compliment of attacks? Well I was a warrior and I did have that skill yes.

Did the game give me flurry of blows on every mob in a room? Yes yes it did.

Did I have a skill that could sacrifice gold at an altar to do more damage? I did go Paladin. Did I have a spell that increased my damage by 50% sure why not, keeps baby.

Did I have a skills that did more damage when I was low on life? Also yes.

Did I have sanctuary and also super sanctuary to cut my damage received by 25% and then 50% as well? Sure did.

I maaaaay have walked into a zone that had a high amount of enemies in the same room after buffing the ever loving hell out of myself while at 10% life with a stacked flurry and rampaged on over a dozen mobs.

Did I crash the server?

Yes yes I did.

Worth it!

Going down from 24" 2048x1152 to 27" 1920x1080 was an extremely noticeably change. Good god I loved that monitor things looked so crisp on it.

When my company used to move or make new branches, we would sign the wall if we were on the project.

I think my name is on 2 walls

I’m not a wine guy so I can’t say, but BC Okanagan is wine country

There are a about a dozen wineries around Vancouver as well

You should come here, try some, then tell me if they were good. I think this is an excellent idea.

I was introduced to honey wine and some of the ones I tried were tasty

I did not enjoy everything but they were always trying new things.

Lots of wine made in Canada, the buy local mentality is fairly strong.

Not sure what you mean by bougie wine though a I’m not a wine drinker. I mean I assume France still produces some of the best wine in the world if you care about awards and what not

Oh fantastic thank you

You can get a free trial of Tidal and you can probably rent a good quality headset from a big music store for a reasonable price. This would let you check if you can notice a difference.

Also libraries sometimes have awesome gear to borrow if you are near one that is cool. With catching out if it means free

Quality or catalogue.

If you use Bluetooth headset you want catalogue. You won’t notice a difference.

But if you are an audiophile tidal but only if you pay for the highest quality.

Honestly wish my country would just create a public repository for art and culture and cut out ornate interests. But that’s legally a silly idea

1. Term limits and cognitive age checks for Supreme Court

2. Free Healthcare and Student loans(no interest and no limit on paying it back)

3. BAN Lobbyists from all levels of government while overturning citizens United

4. LGBTQ and women’s rights amendments.

5. Treason Charges for like a thousand people maybe more

Women too! Kari Byron salient years blowing shit up… And she would do it again!

Don’t like heels so makes this forgettable (to me)

Folks this is what the web looked like in 1995 (with popup wackamole on about 50% of every site

But this simple website is damn near perfect for it’s purpose

The right and freedom to live without them is much more important. We all get old and if life can only exist online, you are absolutely fucked at that point where you can’t understand the new way of doing things… Every 2 years.

Honestly we would need to create a new way of making it work.

We have yet to see a new type of governance that was developed with our current tech capability taken into account.

There is no reason we can’t have medicament increased representation, and major decisions could easily get public opinion on, but we are trying to build on methods that are hundreds of years old.

I’m sure there has been many students that have written papers about a novel form of governance, would be interesting if she country actually tried it. Communism didn’t work so good in reality inspite of how it looks on paper… And neither did democracy apparently

Thank you, much appreciated

I just saw the guy from that meme in death of a unicorn.

Not really significant I just felt like sharing

Ahh okay cool that is the one I just finished

I’ve just recently listened to book 1 of Dungeon Crawler Carl on audible. I’m really not sold on his partner(I won’t say more than that). Just a style thing, it’s not for me. However I’m enjoying it enough to continue reading more of them. Do you know if there are different audio book versions?

I read He Who Fights With Monsters and have really enjoyed the voice work in that series.
