Never ceases to amaze me how we can critfail basic life stuff, like I'm pretty sure I'm rolling with advantage with a DC of 2 but sometimes you just Sleep Wrong and now your calves hurt for two days

Seems like a good idea, but I'm not sure what the market is for making Jim Carrey noises in the shower

I was going to say "society is boned" but I'm pretty sure the physical act of boning is probably going to decrease in frequency with this

Persephone similarly disapproves of the Wet Room, possibly on account of her primary feeder looking even more like some shambling swamp creature when freshly showered

A consequence of being the kind of geek who likes to do voices for his D&D characters: new hobgoblin warlock sounds like Foghorn Leghorn on mild sedation

As I drag myself out of bed once more, I feel like it should be illegal for a person to work for longer in a day than they slept the night before

Look, Shenron just gets me, you know? Like I can really just be me under his unblinking gaze while the skies darken and the citizenry huddle in abject terror wondering if today is the day it all ends

You don't need anyone on your radar, they're blocking the monitor, there could be alien doomships descending right now and we'd only find out when the death rays start disintegrating the neighbours

Watching her competence completely tank after Dollet is kind of fun though, like she can't stop Seifer doing any of his shit, almost buggers the assassination mission by leaving her post to make an apology that could have waited until later, and spends the rest of the game being Just Kinda There

I have three types of TTRPG characters:
- Creepy healer type with absolutely zero ulterior motives
- Rock-brained muscle man who gets adopted by another party member
- Husky-voiced charisma caster who quickly ends up in the role of Mum Friend to the rest of the team

Lots of progress wouldn't have happened (or at least not as soon) without certain dickheads. Doesn't stop them being dickheads.

I'm pretty sure the first thing you have to program a computer to do is how to do maths so it's almost impressive how they've managed to make one not only shit at it, but shit at it in a way nobody's ever managed before

There's something insidious about the machine-learning slop machine and its proponents just assuming that everyone is on board with incorporating it into their lives and technologies. All this sort of crap should be opt-in.

For those more literary than I, is it considered poor form to compose a sonnet in anger? Because I may have committed Poetry Crime if so

Hi, I'm here on behalf of the Voices in my head (capital V very much necessary, Florence insisted) because they feel the need to inform you that the Underground Penguin Initiative is moving against the Kobold Empire so there may be some construction noise between 9am and 2pm this Saturday

For those curious about how 03-mini performs on multi-digit multiplication, here's the result. It does much better than 01 but still struggles past 13x13.
(Same evaluation setup as before, but with 40 test examples per cell.)
