Hifi Rush is in Humble Choice this month, and I noticed they have a redemption deadline which is a bit out of the ordinary. So it’s possible it’ll get delisted, or maybe Humble is just playing it safe with the keys they have.
The 4th one was the second best, in my opinion. I haven’t seen 5 though, but from what I can tell it wasn’t very well-received.
They should have made every movie standalone, 2 and 3 had too many moments where I felt they were just dragging things out to justify a cliffhanger and a sequel.
Do we really need a third stadium that will sit empty for most of the year? Especially since it looks to be the more expensive option than a Gabba refresh, even taking the projected displacement costs into account.
I think they need to talk about what they would plan to do with the Gabba if a Victoria Park stadium were to go ahead. It would be more justifiable if they plan to convert it to affordable housing, for example.
Yeah, replying “Get fucked” to a response that brings up a lot of good counter-arguments to your original point will certainly make it look like you were bringing up immigration in good-faith.
At least here in Australia, we believe in the right for a select group of billionaires to make money off the land in the form of coal mining, and renewable energy threatens that right.
Now that the world is turning away from coal as much as possible, we’re now pivoting to allow a select group of billionaires to make money off the land in the form of uranium mining, and renewable energy also threatens that.
I never owned a NES, but had a SNES and my brother also borrowed his friend’s Mega Drive (Genesis for those of you in the US) from time-to-time. All of us would blow the connectors on the cartridges, regardless of console. If anything went wrong with a game, the first step to troubleshoot was to take the cartridge out and give it a good blow.
It was never about how the console actually worked, a five year-old isn’t going to logically think about that. It was all about a perceived performance increase by doing it.
Federal climate and energy minister Chris Bowen has again slammed the federal Coalition’s “nuclear fantasy”, describing it as a deliberate distraction and the latest “desperate effort” to keep the culture war over energy and climate alive....
Nuclear isn’t green energy though. It’s greener than coal, but it still involves mining and the waste produced by the process isn’t exactly environmentally friendly.
Nuclear is absolutely a viable option in other countries, but we have better alternatives in Australia. There are only a few reasons the Coalition has latched onto nuclear energy after decades of campaigning against; it still involves mining for their donors, it’ll take awhile to rollout which means mining coal stays viable for longer, and it’s another thing they can argue over with other parties, further prolonging the rollout of actual renewable energy.
The racial slur Matildas superstar Sam Kerr is alleged to have used against a British police officer was “stupid white bastard”, according to sources with knowledge of the case.
Is that a slur? It has a racial component, sure, but I hardly think it is actually a racist comment, and definitely not a slur. And to label it as “racially motivated harassment” is laughable.
If this is actually what Kerr said, it’s pretty indicative of the systemic issues that have been popping up in the UK for awhile now. They’ve been travelling further and further down the fascist highway since Brexit.
Search results have gotten worse over time, presumably because people have traditionally been so impolite with their queries. Be polite to your search engine, you may just get better results.
If it helps, there’s very little that carries over between the two games. Without any spoilers, you lose your gear at the start of the BG2, most of which doesn’t carry over anyway. You will start with the level you finished BG1 with, but BG2 boosts brand new characters to a certain level anyway. And I don’t think the games track decisions made throughout like modern RPGs do.
That said, I played it years before Beamdog released that interlude DLC, so maybe things have changed in their Enhanced releases of the games.
I’ve been able to strip the Kobo DRM out of a couple of book bundles using Calibre. Haven’t bought this one yet, but I’d assume there wouldn’t be a problem.
Victoria’s oldest independent bookshop has apologised after its owner called for more picture books with “just white kids on the cover” and claimed that the chain would stop stocking “woke agenda” content that divided people....
They’re still working on Daredevil though. They had to replace the showrunners because they were developing it as an episodic court drama rather than a Daredevil show to follow on from the Netflix series.
I think an argument could be made to set it to the date of death of the author. I agree with the other guy that it should only apply to commercial works though.
I also don’t think that the copyright should be transferable. The trading of ideas is an absurd concept to me. But then us humans do a lot of absurd things so I guess it’s just par for the course.
That’s an oversimplification. All works are derivative to some extent. There’s a huge difference between taking inspiration from something, to taking the characters and setting from something. Particularly if you’re intending to make a profit.
If an author makes something that a large number of people enjoy, why shouldn’t they be able to make money off it for the rest of their life? Why exactly should an individual give up the rights to their creation simply so that someone else can use their characters and their worlds?
To be clear, I’m talking solely on an individual level. I think the system we have where a corporation can own an idea is very broken. I’m also talking about this from a perspective of the world we currently live in. In an ideal world where money wasn’t the endgame for survival, ideas would flow more freely and nobody would need to care. But that’s not the world we live in.

The seed is more like an address. It’s a number that gets paired with the prompt to tell the model what variation of the thing it should output. Given the same seed and same prompt, the model will output the same image every time, no matter what.
