Bilbo Baggins@hobbit.worldto World of JRPG's@lemmy.zip•What is your favorite jrpg chracter?English3·2 years agoI was going to say Auron. He’s my favorite.
Bilbo Baggins@hobbit.worldto Games@sh.itjust.works•IOC President announces plans to create Olympic Esports Games at opening of 141st IOC Session in MumbaiEnglish6·2 years agoTo be clear, they are not intending on creating new games based on Olympic events. They are talking about incorporating esports into the Olympics somehow.
Please tell us the exact model of wire strippers. If there’s something better, I would love to try it.
Bilbo Baggins@hobbit.worldto Games@sh.itjust.works•Best Buy to End DVD, Blu-ray Disc SalesEnglish8·2 years agoI love commentary and streaming services almost never have it. That’s the biggest loss.
Bilbo Baggins@hobbit.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What popular quote are you tired of hearing?English1·2 years agoThat’s the thing. Being just as fair doesn’t necessarily imply it’s equally travelled. Even being worn the same doesn’t necessarily mean equally traveled, although it strongly implies it. I think the final line is so certain that it overrides the earlier lines and implies to the unwary reader that these similar paths actually were differently travelled.
I don’t expect self contradiction in a story / poem. So that certainty of there being a difference overrides all.
It’s only after reading the author’s intentions that I know for sure that the contradiction was intended and that was actually the point of the poem.
As I said before, this makes me like the poem even more now.
Bilbo Baggins@hobbit.worldto Games@sh.itjust.works•350,000+ people have played Cassette BeastsEnglish1·2 years agoI was thinking about trying it. I’ve always wanted to like Pokemon, but every video of it I’ve watched just makes it seem incredibly childish with the most boring combat system I’ve ever seen.
But, I like the idea of collecting Pokemon and needing to really search to complete a collection. But, I just can’t get past the apparently boring combat.
This cassette theme seems interesting, but is the combat interesting at all?
Bilbo Baggins@hobbit.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What popular quote are you tired of hearing?English5·2 years agoEven after rereading the poem I had to read the Wikipedia analysis section to be convinced you are right. It’s a very subtle poem, which, honestly, just makes it better.
Bilbo Baggins@hobbit.worldto Uplifting News@lemmy.world•Scientists Find Success With New Direct Ocean Carbon Capture TechnologyEnglish8·2 years agoFrom the article:
“Our technology can be thought of as ‘indirect air capture’ because the ocean will take more carbon dioxide out of the air above it to replace the carbon dioxide that we’re removing.” Hornbostel said.
Bilbo Baggins@hobbit.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How do you think communities might leverage *their own* AIs to their benefit?English3·2 years agoIt is absolutely ai. The experience of talking with chatgpt is so human like that it just blows my mind. What I’ve learned so far is that human brains aren’t nearly as magical as they seem.
Bilbo Baggins@hobbit.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How do you think communities might leverage *their own* AIs to their benefit?English2·2 years agoI thought the main obstacle was the computing power to update 175 billion neurons with large datasets. You probably could generate a good llm just using Wikipedia, but I think it requires a room full of expensive video cards to do.
Bilbo Baggins@hobbit.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Is it not grotesque to give a random person 1.2 billion dollars in a lottery?English7·2 years agoThe Google response seems to agree with you, but this Berkeley study says the opposite:

(Fixed link.)
Bilbo Baggins@hobbit.worldto Games@sh.itjust.works•Can Meta’s new VR headset stop me feeling sick?English3·2 years agoPlay different games. Walkabout golf is a fantastic multiplayer game. I consider it the killer app. My family plays it regularly.
I wish they’d focus more on releasing VR board games. My family and friends are scattered around the world and VR is fantastic for playing board games with them if only they’d release them.
If the only thing you like playing is FPS games then I guess VR isn’t for you though.
Bilbo Baggins@hobbit.worldto Imaginary Trains🔒@lemm.ee•"The Next War At Sea" (March 1936) by Paul MalonEnglish2·2 years agoSo, the train just plows into the water and keeps on going?
Bilbo Baggins@hobbit.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•You can remove *any* film from your memory. What do you pick and why?English1·2 years agoWait, is this a good genie wish or an evil genie wish? I feel like the spirit of the wish would make me forget sequels to any movie I specify or that’d just make it impossible to properly forget.
Bilbo Baggins@hobbit.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•You can remove *any* film from your memory. What do you pick and why?English1·2 years agoMeh. Disagree. It holds up in my opinion. But, we all have our opinions.
Bilbo Baggins@hobbit.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•You can remove *any* film from your memory. What do you pick and why?English37·2 years agoThe Matrix. Blew my fucking mind the first time I saw it. It’s awesome on repeat viewings, but that first watch is magical.
Bilbo Baggins@hobbit.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How do you turn your nose off or deal with a heinous smell?English10·2 years agoCan you not just visit with him outside on some lawn chairs? Or does the outside smell as well?
Bilbo Baggins@hobbit.worldto artporn@lemm.ee•Artists Collection - Susan Paterson (2018) oil on panelEnglish2·2 years agoIs this really a painting? It looks so real!
Bilbo Baggins@hobbit.worldto Uplifting News@lemmy.world•Baby shark caught in glove rescued by couple on scuba diving trip in Rhode IslandEnglish2·2 years agoUplifting news that isn’t boring (Bob did well in school his whole life.) and doesn’t imply bad things happening (the community came together to save Jill from a life in the slave pits of Hoth) is actually a challenge.
What would be an example that was interesting with no negative connotations? Maybe news of scientific and engineering breakthroughs? Children who rise above a good but boring life?
