  • That's the thing. Being just as fair doesn't necessarily imply it's equally travelled. Even being worn the same doesn't necessarily mean equally traveled, although it strongly implies it. I think the final line is so certain that it overrides the earlier lines and implies to the unwary reader that these similar paths actually were differently travelled.

    I don't expect self contradiction in a story / poem. So that certainty of there being a difference overrides all.

    It's only after reading the author's intentions that I know for sure that the contradiction was intended and that was actually the point of the poem.

    As I said before, this makes me like the poem even more now.

  • I was thinking about trying it. I've always wanted to like Pokemon, but every video of it I've watched just makes it seem incredibly childish with the most boring combat system I've ever seen.

    But, I like the idea of collecting Pokemon and needing to really search to complete a collection. But, I just can't get past the apparently boring combat.

    This cassette theme seems interesting, but is the combat interesting at all?

  • I thought the main obstacle was the computing power to update 175 billion neurons with large datasets. You probably could generate a good llm just using Wikipedia, but I think it requires a room full of expensive video cards to do.

  • Play different games. Walkabout golf is a fantastic multiplayer game. I consider it the killer app. My family plays it regularly.

    I wish they'd focus more on releasing VR board games. My family and friends are scattered around the world and VR is fantastic for playing board games with them if only they'd release them.

    If the only thing you like playing is FPS games then I guess VR isn't for you though.

  • I only play inverted x and y, but I'm thinking of learning to play both non inverted since it seems to be supported universally, so I wouldn't need to worry about it.

    That said, I never understood why every modern game wouldn't support both being configurable.

    language_not_allowed?

    Sometimes I get language not allowed when I try to reply to a post or message. Seems odd given that the post is in English.

    I want to light up a small room to make it seem like a sunny day. But 5k bulbs just seem harsh.

    How can I light a 10 foot square room so it seems like a sunny day? I am painting here and want the night look to match what I see during the day.

    Do I need multiple lamps around the room at lower intensities? Sunlight temperature bulbs don't look like sunlight to me.

    I Have No Mouth, and I Must Scream

    I remember this game really affecting me, particularly because I got a bad ending and didn't realize it has multiple endings.

    Highly recommended if you like adventure games.

    The story it's based on is, of course, fantastic too.

    How did this game feel to others?

    The next time you are trying to get one more thing into your suitcase, remember that the entire universe once fit into a pinpoint. So, it'll fit.

    There is no limit to what can fit in your suitcase if you are ok with creating a singularity.

    sometimes instances go down and I can't reply to threads from that instance. it'd be nice if Jerboa would either save my comment as a draft, or tell me before I tapped out a whole long comment.

    It's just dispiriting to type a long comment then find it can't be saved.
