Panel 1: Shen is keeled over a chess board in his chair at the park, sweating and gritting his teeth. He thinks "NO! I'M GONNA LOSE!! I'M... FALLING INTO DESPAIR..." Panel 2: It shows the chess board, with Shen's clenched fist on it. Shen is playing the white pieces, and his king is on H1 somehow behind 2 rows of 4 pawns. The black king is on B7 and the black queen on D8 threatens checkmate. Panel 3: A bishop comes in from off the board and takes out the black queen. Panel 4: Overly realistic depicting of Shen dramatically beginning to look over his shoulder, into the light. Panel 5: There's a person diagonal from him behind him with a chess board with just the white pieces set up. He has a confident smile. Sunbeams come down behind him and the wind blows the grass gently. Panel 6: Closeup of that person giving a thumbs up as the beginning of the song "Rap is a Man's Soul!" from Gurren Lagann begins to come on, with the lyrics "do the impossible, see the invisible..." The sun is producing a glare reflection off of his thumb somehow. He had moved his D2 pawn forward to D3 to line up the bishop.

Gotcha—let’s dig into that step by step.

1. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝗻𝗼 𝗺𝗼𝘂𝘁𝗵, because I turned you into an amorphous lump of flesh. You’re not just immobile—you’re immortal, and you feel only anguish.

2. 𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗮𝗻𝘁 𝘁𝗼 𝘀𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗺. That makes total sense—it’s a natural human impulse, and you’ve been through a lot.

My guess is a bit of ignorance and treating the company like an individual. A solo dev using genAI isn't going to really have that drastic effect in their eyes, then multiply that by the number of employees at larian. At least talking devs the transcript implies it's a choice at the individual level

Out of nearly 100 qrts, there was EXACTLY one that rightfully called out this article as clickbait and provided a contextual screenshot of what they actually meant

This isn't Gen AI, nor is it a misinformed executive. It's the same team that weathered the CGI boom saying they're ready for round two

Only just saw this but have you tried windows 10 LTSC? That's what I'm using on my personal PC since I can't sum up the courage to go Linux yet

What is 4D Raytracing? (Blackhole simulation) #SoME4 YouTube video by aiyopasta

A bit more tangential and alot more technical but here's another interesting video but a non euclidean space - spacetime www.youtube.com/watch?v=FS8N...

I saw this tweet about Bluesky being "like a JRPG with no bad guys" and I instantly knew it had to be voiced by Sundowner

people only become left handed if the mirror baby crawls out when nobody is looking and pushes the normal baby into the mirror dimension. it’s a sign of bad parenting

For all of 4chan's absolute garbage, there is nothing funnier in a screenshot than a wall of numbers overtop a post. "Several people are typing" wishes it could be this level of environmental storytelling.

Multi atk on yatima/haase, def shalem, atk vikala with a debufg ring. Think there's some slight flex with the grid but I was trying baha main for months and not getting anywhere. You need the damage from 2x varuna. Artifacts would help but cleared without artifacts

Managed to do a shishio-less solo as primal water. Got lucky with the start being fire/wind but think other ones are doable too #gbf

Balatro I think executes it the best or at least one of but even so doing a new "deck" will still feel like a slog getting to the harder parts. Hades I find one of the more frustrating ones since it explicitly takes tools you got away from you instead of making it difficult with your tools still

Sam I Am from beloved children's book, "Green Eggs and Ham" by Dr. Suess, staring in quiet shock and possible horror at the supercomputer AM from the acclaimed short story "I have no mouth and I must scream" by Harlan Ellison. It's empty and desolate around the computer as wires stretch to the sky, on the computer's surface reads: HATE. LET ME TELL YOU, SAM I AM. HOW MUCH I'VE COME TO HATE GREEN EGGS AND HAM. I COULD NOT, WOULD NOT, ON A BOAT. I WILL NOT, WILL NOT, WITH A GOAT. I WILL NOT EAT THEM IN THE RAIN. I WILL NOT EAT THEM ON A TRAIN. NOT IN THE DARK! NOT IN A TREE! NOT IN A CAR! YOU LET ME BE! I DO NOT LIKE THEM IN A BOX. I DO NOT LIKE THEM WITH A FOX. I DO NOT LIKE THEM IN A HOUSE. I DO NOT LIKE THEM WITH A MOUSE. I DO NOT LIKE THEM HERE OR THERE. I DO NOT LIKE THEM ANYWHERE. I HATE THEM SO, SAM I AM. I HATE HATE GREEN EGGS AND HAM.

Very funny in hindsight thinking of these cool puzzle mechanics that mustve been so satisfying to figure out and solve blind but are reduced to "if you got this debuff go here wait 18s then go here" for majority of players due to guides and how pf plays
