What’s the worst piece of technology you’ve ever owned?
  • I played a lot of Elite Dangerous until I realized there was not much to do besides "do the profitable thing over and over before it gets nerfed." And by the time Squadrons came out, I also ran out of fucks to give.

  • What’s the worst piece of technology you’ve ever owned?
  • HTC Vive. Not necessarily this specific tech itself, but VR gaming more broadly. My friend and I were ginning ourselves up for years before it came out. I dropped a lot of money on a gaming rig for it. And when I put the googles on... I fucking hated it. I didn't like standing and gaming. I didn't like being so isolated from everyone else in the house. And the games were glorified tech demos slapped together with unity assets. By the time Half Life Alex came out, I had no more fucks to give.

    The porn was fun though.

  • What's the last thing you bounced back from?
  • I really liked the immortal dude. Sam Spruell stole the show. I did have an issue with the Halloween episode though. Like Dot went through all the trouble of changing the street signs, but she couldn't wear a mask on Halloween? Classic smart character does something stupid so the plot can happen.

  • Trump says he's "okay" with jail or house arrest
  • Of course he'd be okay with house arrest. Mara Largo has golf and beautiful cake and no poors.

    Jail would be him and the Secret Service in solitary. I can't imagine he'd be okay with even that.

  • Nazi Propagandist Nick Fuentes Caught on Stream Watching Gay Porn
  • Fun Fact: Ernst Röhm and The Brownshirts were super gay. Apparently during The Night of the Long Knives, Röhm and a huge amount of Brownshirts were scooped up during a massive gay orgy. I bet that was a wild ride until it ended in prison.

  • Japan's Diet enacts bill allowing joint custody after divorce | NHK WORLD-JAPAN News
  • I got lucky with my wife, but had I known then what I now know of Japanese divorce law, I wouldn't have rolled those dice. I just hope this means Japan is going to start shared custody when one parent is a foreigner.

  • Children of The Finders cult, what was it like?

    I just finished listening to the latest Behind the Bastards episodes, and was quite surprised to find this was one of the least bastardly subjects in the history of the podcast. In it, Robert Evans mentioned that none of the children have come forward with allegations of sexual abuse (or with any allegations at all).

    So, how was it living with Marion Pettie and his utopian experiment?

    aipromptguide.com is stuck loading...

    Hey all. I realize this is kinda tangential to SD, but it seems aipromtguide is stuck in a loading state on my desktop. The menu loads and but the site data doesn't. This problem started after I reinstalled windows 10. I've tried both Brave and Edge, and the problem persists. Same thing with the VPN either on or off. Incognito mode also doesn't make a difference. On my phone the site works like it always has even when connected to the same wifi router.

    Any help would be most appreciated!

    Also, bonus points for suggesting a good alternative.

    Is A1111 able to boot into a private browser tab?

    Just a small nitpick, but I like to use A1111 in a private tab. Bit of a pain to close the tab that starts in the regular one. Is there a setting or command line thingy to have it start up in a private one?
