How do you set up stable diffusion to run locally? I have been trying out llama.cpp for text and was looking for a similarly easy tool to try image generation.

What the fuck, I have been brainwashed. Ludd et al were legit. We could have a really nice society but somehow the average person is irredeemably stupid to not join a movement such as that.

“There is far too much regulation,” yeah, food safety is truly holding society back. What a utopia we would have if we could all be eating sidewalk hot plate quesadillas from a hobo with no refrigeration or sanitization tools.

The foxes are keeping hens immobilized in boxes their entire life and throwing male chicks in a massive grinder because they’re economically useless? Here I thought they were just savagely but quickly tearing individual birds up to eat.

The fact that you’re making this moral judgement about other people proves that you understand you shouldn’t follow their examples either. Grow up.

I don’t think you should be using wild animals as your moral compass? Or do you actually think you’re as incapable of controlling yourself as a wild dog or something?

Damn. Thank you for the cc on that.

The boss fights were okay, I guess. Once you have enough armor or hearts to survive a hit, you can just wander in with an entire restaurant of food and knock it around for a while. In the classic Zeldas you have your hearts and maybe four jars for healing, and you try to make it all the way through on that.
The beasts were neat little puzzles but the enemies inside are like 99% purple gunk shooting floating skulls. It’s such a dull challenge. The only thing I like really enjoyed were the minigames getting inside the beasts (except the lizard), although those were all the same also.
Maybe I’ll pick up Skyward Sword, I haven’t done that one yet. I might still get TotK, like used or something. It was still chill to wander around aimlessly looking for stuff.

Really could not have a better demonstration of what a joke the CE label is.

It’s not harder in any meaningful way. That’s part of what I mean. If they designed enemies better I would be actually motivated to find and use a spear or other tool. That would be more fun.
It’s fine that you like the durability but the experience as a whole is nothing like a Zelda game. I had a good time but if I had played it expecting a Zelda game I would have been profoundly disappointed.
- Comment on Anon encounters a Switch owner 7 months ago:
I don’t experience the full range, though. I experience the Master Sword until it needs a nap, and then whatever crap I just picked up in my last slot because I don’t want my fancy swords to break.
In prior Zelda games, the game designers would actually think about making monsters where certain types of attack are more effective than others. I would prefer experiencing a variety of weapons that way.
- Comment on Anon encounters a Switch owner 7 months ago:
People hate that they removed everything about the Zelda games that made them fun and charming, and left a mid grinding experience. The weapons breaking don’t really bother me much.
Old Zelda: find a temple, new set of enemies, solve puzzles until you get to the new tool, solve puzzles with the tool, fight a large boss that the tool conveniently works really well on.
New Zelda: find a shrine, fight yet another of these little guys. Find a shrine, solve two or three of the same puzzles with the tools you got in the first hour of gameplay. Spend large amounts of time just walking through areas of the map fighting the same campsites and outposts, hoping for a radar beep so you can find a shrine.

No thanks. There are too many delusional morons that hear it and like it. Society has heard it far more than once and instead of being dismissed immediately idiots are trying to make white supremacist robots repeat it.

He won’t. They know he won’t. The only way to salvage the government at that point is if Biden starts shooting. The government is pretty fucked anyway if he does, though. I think he’d try to compromise all the way up until he is executed by the next Repub president, hopefully we have 4 years to prepare for that.

You can look at any financial interaction in the US and ask that same thing, “why is it idiotic and heavily in favor of the person with capital?”

I hear in some states you can get triple if it has to go to the courts. That’s better. There should be a massive downside to stealing a deposit. I don’t like if it’s a pain in the ass for the victim but then they can only get what was due in the first place.

Breath of the Wild removed pretty much everything that made the series great. It leaves behind a meh game with some of the lore Nintendo knows will sell units.
