Last I checked I was in the top 100 for the 360° version of a specific song on Beat Saber.
Also in the top 100 on a specific Lady Gaga song on Beat Saber.
But I can only beat two of the Camellia songs on Expert+, so I’m not anywhere near the best. Kinda hit a wall and lost interest, unfortunately.
My Dad fell down the stairs naked and landed in my mom’s sisters special spot.
“What are you doing, bro-in-law?”
Bruh, I’m a fat fuck and not only did I get laid, I married a beautiful, wonderful woman half my weight. A amazing woman who loves me for who I am and finds me sexually attractive.
Be kind, be generous, ask questions, and do basic like, grooming and bathing and whatnot. If you’re socially awkward, study the ways of the Chandler. (Not necessarily literally, but honestly you can learn a lot about being pleasant to be around and interacting with people by watching actors fake it, which you can then use to fake it until you’re more comfortable).
Sex itself isn’t the goal, becoming a well-rounded person you would like to be around is the goal. Because self-confidence is an elusive but important factor.
I’m not going to claim to be without privilege, I’ve got a damn sexy voice and I sing in a chorus, which is a great way to meet people. Which is another part of my advice, find hobbies that let you interact with other people. They don’t even need to be people you’re sexually attracted to, because time with people helps you to be better around people, and being better around people helps those people to introduce you to others.
If it’s honestly something you want, becoming the kind of person who fucks is a very attainable goal. After all, our entire species is here because lots of people achieve that goal.
But like I said, it’s important for your aim not to be getting laid, but rather genuinely getting yourself to a place where you like yourself and know others will like you, too. Journey before destination, you know? It’s really really easy to wallow and pretend it’s outside your abilities, but that’s true of anything that you have never done before. And literally everything you do is something you can get better at.
Don’t give up, don’t despair.
My friend didn’t quite grasp the “keep moving slowly” concept. So whenever she thought she needed to, she would bolt.
This was usually fine, but at one point she was near the back of my couch and bolted forward, right through the virtual wall and flipped over my couch!
She was startled but fine, and I couldn’t stop laughing.
Yes! The telestep-urge happened to me with RE4 VR. I was trying to move around my house with my thumb!
Yep, I do remember this with AC. I posted about the one that hit me harder, which was Crackdown.
If I spent a lot of time training I could theoretically move similarly to the characters in AC. No matter how much training I do I’ll never be able to leap multiple stories in one jump up.
In college I was playing a lot of Crackdown. At a certain point I remember instinctively knowing which level of a dorm tower I could jump to, grab onto a window, and then how many more jumps it would take to reach the top.
Similarly, more recently, I was playing Resident Evil 4 on the Oculus. After a good two hour session when I took the headset off I found myself trying to move around my house by using my thumb to jump to a new spot.
Yuuup. Muskrat decided LiDAR was too expensive to include in every vehicle and scrapped it. Even disabled the sensors on the cars that have it.
My vacuum has LiDAR. That man is a cheap idiot.
Well they stepped into the heli to fly over rough terrain in dense fog and bad weather. Some might call that a little bit tempting fate…
That can be hazardous in a well-maintained helicopter. Just ask Kobe.
My most recent recipe:
3 shots espresso
1 pump Torani English Toffee
2 pumps Torani Puremade Almond
A decent amount of ice (I don’t measure this, I eyeball it)
Shake well, then pour into a cup/glass
Shake up your carton of oatmilk and fill the rest of the glass. It gets a nice foamy top and the oatmilk spreads beautifully down the glass.
I use Oatly Full-Fat oatmilk (the Barista Edition is just too expensive and you don’t need it unless you’re doing hot drinks), but any other brand’s creamiest oatmilk will also work.
Honestly pretty much any syrups that sound appealing to you will probably work well in this type of recipe.
The one I was most proud of involved taro powder (for boba drinks) instead of syrup, and a pump of chai syrup, but it has a LOT of sugar.
As far as suggestions for a cheap espresso machine…I haven’t had amazing luck, because you get what you pay for. I’m on my second and at some point will probably replace it with a more expensive one. But they last long enough to pay for themselves. Also the cheap ones are good for beginners, pressurized portafilters make it really easy to get right.
I’m a big fan of their shaken oatmilk espresso drinks.
I realized at a certain point that I could buy a bottle of syrup, a cheap espresso machine, espresso ground coffee, and oatmilk, and this would all pay for itself within a relatively small number of drinks. Like, I dunno, 30-40 drinks depending on the oatmilk and the syrup.
I’ve gotten pretty good at making my own Starbucks-esque drinks, and it means I can control the sugar better.
I’m not sure where the one in the image comes from, it isn’t listed in the Emojipedia page.
I thought the Apple commercial was really clever. Squeezing all of the stuff into one device. I don’t really understand why people decided that it was about the death of creativity, there’s plenty of creative shit you can do on a tablet. And it’s not like the existence of the iPad precludes using instruments and paint.
Shit, 98% of what my wife does on her iPad is piano and vocal sheet music related.
Been a while since I watched it, like I said I’d recommend listening to it. Treat it like a podcast, for me the time flew by and I ended up listening to every video he has over the following weeks. 😂
Could also be a software developer who misunderstood the concept of rubber duck debugging.
West Michigan, helping turn a previously red district purple.
I actually kind of love Michigan. It’s a beautiful state and the people are generally kind and friendly. But it does have some bullshit, especially when you get outside the cities. Though I suppose that’s true everywhere.
Sure, definitely not a perfect benchmark. I’m not saying it’s going to outperform a current x86 machine in general. But if it can perform as well as or better than a relatively powerful x86 machine from a few years prior, while emulating, that’s impressive.
But I don’t know, I don’t have a MacBook.
I highly recommend this video from Shaun on the matter. It’s long but you can listen to it instead of watching it and you won’t miss much. Excellent video on this subject that really put a lot of the propaganda around the bombing in a new light.
I doubt it. Regardless of the current stage of machine learning, everyone is now tuned in and pushing the tech. Even if LLMs turn out to be mostly a dead end, everyone investing in ML means that the ability to do LOTS of floating point math very quickly without the heaviness of CPU operations isn’t going away any time soon. Which means nVidia is sitting pretty.
