i get very sweaty about rushing socialism in vic3. prussia and france are the easiest to do it with imo

so if you exile august von der haydt around 1850 after rushing grossdeustchland you can reroll him to be a communist and as soon as you unlock socialism and pull marx you can very quickly instate heydt as leader of the industrialists in order to have a dengist central europe led by marx in 1850 without any civil war.

gpt4all is the easiest way in, hands down, no contest

could try out the turbo models, might help

automatic1111 webui launcher, its stable diffusion. fun fact its icon is a pic of ho chi minh

if you wait, stable diffusion 3 is coming out soon. nvidia will run faster because its tensors are better unfortunately. SD is more ethical than others, you can load up models that are trained only on public art and pics

seconding gpt4all, makes it quick and easy to run and if youre fancy you can stream the output from your computer to your phone. i run a capybara-hermes-mistral mix but i would suggest starting with mistral instruct until claude3 comes out

we really need to outlaw bitcoin. its stupid

im at 30TB uploaded but i swapped setups last year and idk what it was at before. so 30tb 1 year

incredibly boring game. you keep feeling like maybe itll get deeper and more interesting but it never does. cyberpunk and baldurs gate at least create vibes and have a somewhat fun storyline to follow.

im personally a big fan of the x series, i totally recommend it. its basically like if you merged morrowind and eve online. its silly, janky, and i love having my giant carrier shit on people with a flotilla of 100 frigates while i purge capitalism from my sector

have you tried x4 foundations out?

man, i wish the X series (re: x4 foundations) actually got funding that shit like starfield gets. it has so many good ideas but the implementation just isnt there for a variety of reasons

which character is that?

idk, kinda deluding yourself there. i just took a hammer to any character that was capitalist in ow cause i found them extremely annoying. and i gotta be frank i remember none of the characters in outer worlds (and tbh the only characters i remember in skyrim are dagon, azura, and serana… so maybe im weird). so far i kinda like andreja in starfield but a lot of the characters here also feel like paper. it just feels like fallout 4 but with uninteresting lore and ambiance. so its like… cookie cutter bethesda game. which if you like bethesda mechanics youll have stuff to do but otherwise its just meh. also, i gotta say i hate how i basically cant kill anyone in bethesda games, it bothers me a lot, esp when you attack them and they are immortal and shooting you.

sounds slaaneshi, im in

wrath is very good imo. i find it hard to like many of the companions of bg3, the only ones that really pulled on me were astarion and minthara. i liked karlachs design but i feel like she didnt get many lines. and the rest were largely forgettable. the graphics and the mocapped conversations are what really makes bg3 good. if it was a top down isometric like WOTR i think everyone would call the game middling. its more just impressive how much they show and not tell with a blurb of text. also i kinda hate shadowheart and i feel like a lot of the plotline revolves around her and it bothers me.

i havent played wrath in a hot minute but i can tell you right now that i remember all the companions names, even the more barebones ones like sosiel (black guy that is angry trope?). arue, wenduag, woljiff, ember, and nenio are probably some of my favorite characters in any video game ever. daeran is pretty fun too.

wenduag is best girl, her romance/redemption plotline is fairly realistic imo. the lesbian relationship there really pulled at my heartstrings a bit

also im the resident pf2e stan here, its pretty much all i talk about.

i fucked like all my companions and then cut it down to minthara and astarion when they got too needy (problematic evil lady in skin tight black armor, and sassy gay vampire boy)
