Now I'm curious what would happen if you treated someone with neuralink with an EMP

I've been learning how to scream for about 3 years now, if I understand correctly pain after any amount of time can be a sign of bad technique, and I've extrapolated to singing

Was it wrong? Yes. Sometimes it doesn't occur to me that I'm doing something bad until a few hours to months later

Oh, I am in this group. I have a mid range PC (Ryzen 5 3600, GTX 1660S) and still mostly play indies or 5+ year old games, because they're (usually) patched and dirt cheap.

Mine can get irritated from talking for two hours. I still think it shouldn't happen, but I have no medical background to back up my statement.

Kinda surprised it's not something Candlemass's Epicus Doomicus Metallicus

~~I'm pretty sure your throat shouldn't get irritated from singing~~

Edit: I was wrong, see comment by Kusimulkku@lemm.ee

Ah, the classic:

What're you gonna use your 1000$ GPU for? Local hosting LLM? Video editing? 3d graphics? ...Running new games on highest settings?

Nah, I'm gonna replay this 10+ year old game.

I'd like to try it out. Do you recommend some instance with English UI?

This will also be my first microblogging platform, so any and all beginner tips are welcome.

During Lost Mines of Phandalver we've entered an orc cave and seen an ogre among them. Since we knew ogres aren't that intelligent and we all had some form of telepathy (no darkvision though), we've decided to convince him that he's a champion of Kelemvor (my paladin's god).

Our sorcerer cast prestidigitation to get their attention, and our fighter used her telepathy to tell the ogre "listen to the short guy in heavy armor that will come here in a minute",roll deception... Nat 20.

A fight with orcs later, I've explained the basics of my religion to the ogre and renamed him Shrek. Now he's running a church in Conyberry.

I've mostly watched anime for the past two years and got a craving for a book.

I'm mostly watching comedy and battle shounen, but I'm also enjoying Orb: On the Movements of the Earth this season. The last series I've been reading is Brandon Sanderson's Stormlight Archive (don't worry, I know about Mistborn, I'll get into it during holidays).

Horror bores me, and I dislike romance in general. I can tolerate it as a side plot, but will cringe anyway. And if I see a love triangle or the MC going on and on about the butterflies in their stomach...

It would be nice to see a hard system world mid or post-industrial revolution, but it's not a must. I also prefer a more masculine PoV, because I'm more used to it.

I'm currently thinking about getting The Powder Mage trilogy or Discworld, but I've been out of the loop for so long (if you consider regular visits at the library as being in the loop) that I want to see if I'm missing something more up my alley.

Originally I wanted to get Dungeon Crawler Carl, but it's not translated, so I'll wait. I've tried reading a book in English, forgot the title, but I had to drop it because it was too mentally demanding for me.

 

I've had to make it the moment I saw ghosts aren't immune to being stunned, and once I was done, I've decided to share, 'cause why not.

Transcription: Four panel comic. First panes shows a ghost saying "They finally went to sleep. It's time to strike." while phasing into the material plane, indicated by turning from green to purple. In second panel the ghost attacks someone on the ground with its claws, causing them to yell "YEOUCH!". Third panel shows that it was a monk, and they perform a stunning strike on the ghost. Both silhouettes are grey on this panel. On fourth panel the ghost is stunned and surrounded by grey silhouettes of a barbarian with an axe, rogue preparing to backstab, and a caster casting fireball.

 

Everything worked fine until today, updated the system yesterday. Cursor works, I can start the reboot and such, but not app will open, no terminal command can be performed, and the shutdown doesn't finish after 30 minutes, meaning I have to perform a SysRq reboot to actually do something. Will check Discord and VSCode in a second, also try to apt update and post findings in an edit. Worst case I can wait for an update using dual-booted windows.

Edit: Apparently the problem fixed itself - none of the apps crashed, even when I went back to the previous settings. I've booted into Windows to write this post which might've helped (instead of breaking things the usual way), apt didn't do anything, but there were 2 runtime updates on Pop shop which I've installed prior to starting Firefox. Anyway, one of them can help if any of you are unfortunate enough to have the same problem.
