Agreed. I'm onboarding a couple of new players and see the issues again and again. I'm dropping the overall proficiency score as it just confuses things. skills and abilities just take awhile to become secondhand though.

I have a couple players that aggressively press for edge cases all the time. I encourage it, as it gives me the chance to push back with "ok, that's fine on flat ground but your in thick underbrush," which seems to be more immersive and encourages more roleplaying. Fun stuff.

The only comment on her post is some asshat telling her to grow up. I don't understand how a person can decide to take a cheap shot on an article about buying a DVD player but, there it is. Losers roam the internet like horse flies in Texas.

I wish Nvidia would drop a Linux laptop so we could all have a 3rd option.

I know, this exists in some form or another, eg Dell, but meh.

And I know Jony Ive / Altman are working on something but Altman, uhg.

Agents are ? and the answer is circular, "agents run tools in a loop." And this guy knows things?! No. BS.

Very hit or miss though. And withs some exceptions like Slow Horses, their productions feel overly produced, oiled by agency crossover and 360 package deals, i.e., manufactured from script to screen. Even Pluribus has that smug sanitized gloss.

I couldn't download it. Model appears to be comparable to Sparc3D, Huyunan, etc but w/o download, who can say? It is much faster though.
