  • Er, I meant, high level players are decked out in magical trinkets and artifacts by L20/endgame anyway, it just seems like a synergistic effect of something most players tend to do on their own, PCs are loot goblins even when they aren't dragons; if you don't believe me, put one magic amulet in a chest at low level for a party of four

    It's only a minor criticism, I'm just an aged adventurer carrying an entire economy's worth of artifacts when I play a melee class to avoid getting one-shot, haha

  • As a long time DooM fan, the constant "use fire hook with double barrel shotgun for armor" got really old, really fast.

    If you didn't do it on the higher difficulty settings, like Ultra-Violence, you simply died.

    I'm actually hoping they take a page from HeXen for this installment

  • This is a pretty dope class, very well fleshed out for being a homebrew.

    There's some power asynchronicities, like with having the dragon patron, and an inventory full of magic trinkets to full heal every short rest, and some other minor stuff but this is a definite expansion into "useful warlock" or "Warlock+/Dark Sorceror"

  • If you are using CPU only, you need to look at very small models or the 2-bit quants.

    Everything will be extremely slow otherwise:

    GPU:

    Loaded Power: 465W

    Speed: 18.5 tokens/second

    CPU: Loaded Power: 115W

    Speed: 1.60 tokens/second

    GPUs are at least 3 times faster for the same power draw.

  • I don't know what GPU you've got, but Lexi V2 is the best "small model" I've seen with emotions, that I can just cite from the top of my head.

    It tends to skew male and can be a little dark at times, but it's more complex than expected for the size (8B feels like 48-70B).

    Lexi V2 GGUF Version

    Do Q8_0 if you've got the VRAM, Q5_KL for speed, IQ4_XS if you've got a potato.

  • My answer to this is yes.

    I'm an AI Developer and my only option was to self host because I didn't want my training data leaking out onto the web and by extension, China and the rest (I trained on my own data, writing, and notes, along with Wikipedia).

    Self-hosting gives you complete freedom but also as one other user cautioned, don't fall down the well/rabbit hole.

  • I charge wired (high speed, 18-22W). Wireless is known to be a lot slower and theoretically gentler on the battery.

    I also use the phone heavily, like a computer, I'm a "power user", so my battery thrashing is higher than average.

    Us having the same durability lost on our engine despite me driving double the miles is a good analogy.
