And instead changing the time work and other things happens depending on where you are. Would be easier to arrange meetings across the globe. Same thing applies to summertime. You may start work earlier if you want, but dont change the clocks!
Right now: Witch Image by Ghost. I actually created a playlist to keep track of all the songs that get stuck in my head a while ago, and I’m up to ~36 hours of songs so far. Shuffling that playlist never disappoints, because they’re all songs I’ve been listening to in my head anyway.
Does anyone else feel weird about the vast amounts of computing resources seemingly being wasted on generative AI services like Copilot? It might be different if this was something that could run locally without requiring an internet connection, but clearly we aren’t there yet. Copilot specifically reminds me too much of Siri from iOS 5, and it’s often really slow compared to competing services.
Sucks that this will inevitably become more common, but hopefully it’ll be easy enough to remap to something useful.
I’m in the market for a new laptop. Preferably under $2000 and have good specs. 16 GB ram minimum and 500 GB SSD minimum. What recommendations does Lemmy have? If more details are needed please specify what and I’ll answer...
$2000 should get you something pretty nice. Do you have anything specific in mind that you’re planning to do with it? Important stuff to keep in mind up front, in no particular order: do you play games? How big should the screen be? How long do you want to use it on battery? Any operating system preferences?
It’s been a bummer without loadouts, but I decided to take the opportunity to make a new build (Banner of War + Stronghold) since I don’t have easy access to my other ones right now. There are definitely worse ways to enjoy the first week of the season!
I messed around with it for an evening before moving to another build (can’t wait for loadouts to be fixed!) and I really enjoyed it. I paired it with Winter’s Guile for some crazy numbers. ~590k on a red bar! I did it on Strand with the new aspect, so I had woven mail up and full melee energy (because you mainly use the...
Now that hand cannons have been buffed, don’t sleep on Round Robin from Neomuna. I have a crafted roll with subsistence and hatchling, and it puts in serious work in most activities.
Bungie also confirmed that the Dungeon Key will grant access to two dungeons next year, so it sounds like they aren’t making any changes to that cadence yet.
While excitement and anticipation for a new game are natural, overhyping can be detrimental to the overall experience. When expectations become too inflated, the actual game might struggle to meet them, leading to disappointment among players. Overhyping can create unrealistic assumptions about gameplay, graphics, and features,...
I’m expecting the usual Bethesda bugfest for the first month or two, but the game itself seems like it should be pretty entertaining and immersive. My plan is to see what the Steam reviews look like in a month or two.
This goes for any game, but especially Destiny 2 because of the way Bungie lets players interact with different menus during loading screens: I hate getting kicked out of menus when I finally land on a destination, especially if it’s a social area. It’s pretty obnoxious if you’re tweaking parts of your loadout and then have to dive back into the menus to get back where you were.
Does anyone remember if they said this at the end of last season, too? I thought I had Vanguard engrams roll over, but maybe I just play too many strikes and nightfalls to keep track.
Lots of great stuff here. Tons of tuning, exotic adjustments, and more. They’ve included a video preview of the Monte Carlo catalyst, the most complex they’ve done, and yes, it’s exactly what you think! And Touch of Malice, my beloved, is getting a nice buff. Anyway, too much for me to add here, so dive in and point out...
Only negative I spotted in the post is the reduction to heavy drops when running double special, but that’s pretty understandable given the way I’ve never run out of ammo with Retrofit Escapade.
Can’t wait to try out Monte Carlo, I have a feeling it’s going to be amazing on Shadebinder!
Is this maybe more of a PvE thing? Lightweight bows in particular can be unreliable at range since the arrow travels to where the enemy used to be, and with the way bullet/arrow magnetism works, it’s basically impossible to lead the target properly.
I’m definitely interested in experimenting after the new season launches next week. Most of my double special builds are very ability heavy, so hopefully the ammo economy will still be alright.

I always have music in my head and I was wondering if other people have something similar.
