    Yeah I agree. I did see an article talking about how it’s changing a lot more rapidly than other generations, so I think we’ll see a lot more variation in the slang.

    Did any of you guys see those Skyrim AI NPC mods that were floating around YouTube around a year ago? I think they kept getting taken down for some reason.

    But honestly it convinced me that that’s a good way to go. They were able to detect what the player was doing. For instance, if you dropped a sword on the ground, they would be like “hey don’t forget that iron greatsword on your way out”. You could also ask it for advice on how to complete your quest or what they knew about someone.

    If the AI is somehow locked to only knowing information about the video game they’re in, it could really boost the immersion I think. But I think they should have to use a real voice actor to train the AI to mimic their voice or something like that.

    I was a huge SeaNanners fan back in the day (I still like him, just don’t watch him anymore) so I was also a fan of Hutch. But I have no idea who “Destiny” is. At first I thought you meant the game Destiny

    I was gunna comment this too, it’s becoming a real serious problem. These disgusting people saw how lucrative these animal rescue videos have become and have started intentionally putting these animals (usually young puppies and kittens) in danger and hurting them only to act like they’re “saving” them. It’s so horrific.

    I studied abroad in Australia for a semester (from the United States) and took an Aboriginal Studies course and was incredibly glad I did. It was crazy to see the parallels to how the Native Americans were treated/colonized here in the Americas. Truly barbaric stuff. They’ve got something called the Lost Generation where pretty much all of the children born during a certain time period were forcibly taken from their families and forced to become “civilized”.

    It was really cool learning about how the aboriginals would do these “prescribed burns” where they would purposefully start small wildfires to burn away the undergrowth, which would in turn enrich the soil with lots of carbon. Really neat stuff

    “Other kings said I was daft to build a castle on a swamp, but I built it all the same, just to show 'em. It sank into the swamp. So, I built a second one. That sank into the swamp. So, I built a third one. That burned down, fell over, then sank into the swamp, but the fourth one... stayed up! And that's what you're gonna get, lad: the strongest castle in these islands.”

    I agree, it’s not gunna get any better and could get worse with time. I’d be worried about the waterproof/resistance ability of it (idk what the rating is). Doesn’t hurt to open a ticket with Google

  • I’ve wanted to get into bikepacking for years, but I’ve always been concerned about how I’d be able to ride for multiple days. I was on a cycling team in college and the longest ride I’ve done is about 70 miles, after which I was toast and my butt was really sore. Obviously this is different than bike touring, but it still makes me wonder how others do it. Do you take a lot of breaks throughout the day? Or is it more just conditioning yourself and building “callouses” (for lack of a better word haha). I’m pretty sure my pelvic bones are positioned right on my saddle, but maybe I need a different one.
