in 3e, summon spells specifically conjured the spirits of creatures that couldnt "die" per se. They would desummon if they lost all their HP and reform later.

i mean, there were plenty of other ways, including things you could do at lower level, that was just the common go to because it required a single high level spell, and usually you fought big T at high level.

the usual go to back in the day was to drown it, because it wasnt immune to that in any way. Simply gate it to the plane of water. There was a number of other work arounds like that too.

i can also confirm that the tarrasque was pretty universally clowned on for being easy in 3.5e. That discussion is basically what drove the whole "town built around the tarrasque" idea on the wizard forums and enworld. That said, it's probably not as bad as the 5e tarrasque by comparison

I guess that would just be a GPU?

Actually would either be a TPU (tensor processing unit) or NPU (neural processing unit). They're purpose built chips for AI/ML stuff.

the new 2024 rules allow for this. All half races/species have been removed, and instead you get to mix and match any two you want.

No joke, the color actually matters.

but this meme predates youtube, though...

You basically just described kanban.

It still blows my mind how she could defend turning down federal funding for free lunches for school children. Like, the federal dollars were already allocated, turning it down does nothing but route that money elsewhere for the same purpose, why not help starving children in your state?!

Tux Racer go brrrr

iowa? Sounds like reynolds.

As an interviewer, I think that certs are only useful if you take the test with a different company than you studied with. So I don’t think I’d care if you have a coursera cert, because I’d assume it just meant you finished the course that you paid for.

It's worth noting that some coursera courses are created and maintained by actually accredited institutions, and some courses qualify as college credit with ACE accreditation. Also, many tech certifications host their courses on coursera too, like microsoft has official azure cert courses on there.

That doesn't necessarily mean anything for any given random cert, though, because that means that the entire site is a pretty big grab bag in terms of the usefulness of their certs.

Depends on the person. It's very "old school" in it's gameplay, and very hard and punishing, grindy, has perma-death, etc.

I'd think most modern gamers would hate it, but I personally like wizardry to games (though it helps that I'm old enough to have played older versions). If you like old school d&d, it's very much in the same vein. The remake linked here is pretty good, I already own it from early access.

sure, I'm not saying GPT4 is perfect, just that it's known to be a lot better than 3.5. Kinda why I would be interested to see how much better it actually is.

Worth noting this study was done on gpt 3.5, 4 is leagues better than 3.5. I'd be interested to see how this number has changed

People frequently make demakes with pico-8

However, if you ask me to pick one specific project, I get overwhelmed because I don’t know what’s reasonable.

I don’t know enough to know if my ideas are achievable, or if I’d just be bashing my head against the wall. I don’t know if they’re laughably simple tasks, multimillion-dollar propositions, or Goldilocks ideas that would be perfect to learn a coding language.

List out some ideas you're thinking of. While it may not be obvious to you, someone who is seasoned (me or someone else) might notice at least a general theme or idea to point you in the right direction for where you should go and what you should learn, regardless of if the projects are reasonable.

Note - Most projects take teams to realize, so if your ideas are too large, they might not generally be feasible alone.
