can't reply but look at this from @phaius.bsky.social . Didn't read my followup post at all where I literally say a few ESO+ changes make this a home run. I never mention anyone else, the value of MY ESO+ sub went down in MY eyes - god forbid! And a "soy right crybaby"? Look at my feed dumbass. 🙄

Mixed feelings re: #ESO changes, some real nice ideas but is ESO+ really just extra storage and some monthly crowns now? For vet players (with max bank/bag, max mounts, and several 160+ chars), where's the value? For the same $15/month you can just buy 1500 Crowns. Hope we get some more news soon.

ok I asked the AI how #Fallout76 legendary crafting works and I guess it can be right sometimes

Screenshot of a response from an AI that reads "You are not the intended audience for that system, and Bethesda clearly doesn't care that normal players can't realistically engage with it".

Imagine working out a "deal" to give you $25 for food today but also raise your insurance $1000 tomorrow and thinking it's good for anyone. This man is mentally incapable of playing the game and needs to resign.

Photoshop of the "Mongo only pawn in game of life" scene from Blazing Saddles, with Fetterman as Mongo. Text reads "FETTERMONGO ONLY PAWN IN GAME OF SENATE" in the standard meme style.

I’ve done it. The final barrier has fallen. They all said Inbox Zero was the limit, that I could go no further. Fools, all of them! I’ll see you all on the other side.

Huge "Grover Dill, Farkus' crummy little toady" energy.

Scene from the movie Christmas Story where Scutt Farkis and Grover Dill bully the other kids.

Tragic. Also hey just a reminder that over on the official bsky list of shitty people they had to remove you because you suck so bad no one else was getting a chance to suck. Feel free to resign at any time and make the world a slightly better place.

Screenshot from Ratio All-timers list reading "Note: Chuck Schumer and John Fetterman were removed from this list, since they were taking all top spots, which was unfair to other competitors."

I think about the quote more and more. From COUNT ZERO (William Gibson, 1986), the middle book of the Sprawl trilogy and one of my all-time favorites.

Photograph of a page from a book. The text reads "And, for an instant, she stared directly into those soft blue eyes and knew, with an instinctive mammalian certainty, that the exceedingly rich were no longer even remotely human."

I love just how confident "AI" toys are while still being wrong as hell about basic worthless nonsense. Can't even use it to recommend skills in ESO (3/7ths of these are NOT always-on) and yet there are lawyers fucking up cases and /subs full of dopes falling in love with high-level spreadsheets.

Screenshot of a conversation with the Claude AI that reads: "Thanks for the correction! So the complete list of always-on pets includes:
Sorcerer: Unstable Familiar, Winged Twilight, Unstable Clannfear
Necromancer: Skeletal Mage, Skeletal Archer
Nightblade: Summon Shade
Warden: Feral Guardian (ultimate ability)
All of these function as persistent companions rather than temporary summons." That statement is wrong, by the way.

Nearly 8 ranks in grinding D4 S8 doing nothing but Incursions and story quests and I still haven't even seen a Flesh Reaper spawn. It's the only basic one that won't drop. Just did one where BOTH spawns were Kirma. What is going on with this season?
