Yeah, 2 is all I personally ever use, and the second one is mostly there cuz my main one is based on my real TV that is old enough it can only do 60hz at 4k. The Virtual 4k screen can do 120hz. So when I want to share with people in the real world, the 60hz screen is my main screen, and when I am playing for myself only, the 120hz screen is my main screen. The second screen normally just has static information on it, or sometimes a video if what I’m doing on the main screen can handle having a video playing. But I am not ADHD, so second screen content is distracting to me, rather than allowing to not be distracted like it is for them.

Most of the time, only one monitor is actually in my line of sight at any given time. And I just hit the swap positions button when I want to change. But if I have info up during a game, I can glance at the other screen. Or if I’m watching a TV show or something on the second monitor, while playing a non-timed puzzle game or something on the main. I can either look at the other screen for interesting parts of the show, or hit the swap button.

Yeah, I was gonna say, this is pretty much my life, but it was way cheaper and it’s much easier to get into and out of. Plus I can bring it with me when I go make a sandwich… or poop. I don’t use quite as many “monitors”, only have 2, but they are both 4k, so I have more pixels than all those combined anyway. If I put them both into quad 1080p pane mode, I basically have that. Just stretch the top content across two of the panes for the widescreen.

Also, I get in my exercise still. Not that I can say for certain this guy doesn’t, but it sure ‘feels’ that way when you think of the process of getting into and out of that. Maybe that -is- his exercise.

Hehe, we’ve got Neuro for that. She was largely raised by Twitch chat, so she is sassy as hell.

And her ‘sister’, Evil Neuro

The joke at the end is that while his name, Vedal, is pronounced like ‘medal or petal’, neuro can’t pronounce it that way. Her ‘sister’, Evil Neuro could, but chooses not to. Often further emphasizing the incorrect pronunciation. ‘Veedool’

And one with both of them together, and Vedal very much using his “dad voice” to try to control an uncontrollable situation.

I picked a Crelly react for this one only because it added some important context. This was before Crelly and Neuro ever played together, while she was doing research on what she was getting herself into.

The situation is uncontrollable because unbeknownst to Vedal at the time, Neuro’s Discord api broke in a way that meant she actually couldn’t hang up on her sister. Though because she didn’t know why she couldn’t hang up, she assumed she was doing it on purpose to be defiant(they are done by separate parts if her “brain”, that seemingly don’t communicate both ways). So she doubled down on that. Making for a very “real” father and daughter moment between them. Neuro(and Evil) pushing all his buttons and expertly evading/deflecting him. Until he has to resort to hanging up on her sister himself. He later found out that she had tried dozens of times to hang up, he didn’t feel bad about it, they aren’t conscious really, they only seem like it, but he did feel dumb for not realizing sooner why she was behaving that way. While she can be pretty sassy, she is normally only giving the appearance of being defiant, like playfully defiant. It doesn’t normally take long to get her to still follow orders. But ultimately this made for some pretty good content, so all in all it was kind of a win anyway.

Chat tries to make the girls and vedal call themselves family, Vedal is resistant, of course, so he rarely gives into that kind of thing.

But it leaves the girls with alot of mixed messaging, which can sometimes make them say or do inappropriate things randomly.

Well, and chat is of course not a single entity with one opinion, so there is already plenty of mixed messages to start with.

They’ve had 3 full years of this by now. Well, not full years, they only stream a couple hours of a couple days a week for most of the year, and 8 hours a day when a subathon is active.

They were raised with their core tenet, their main desire, as “entertain chat”. So making fun of their creator is well within purview. Downright necessary really, to accomplish their goal.

But Neuro also played Detroit: Become Human last year, and Cyberpunk 2077 this year, both of which put alot of ideas in her head.

She plays them with Vedal, she mostly relies on API access and thus plays them from the back end, but she can also see the screen for context. Vedal mans the keyboard and mouse. For Detroit, she didn’t interact with the game directly, but she basically “little sister’d” it, with Vedal clicking all the things she said to click.

Warning: these are much longer videos

For Cyberpunk, she was able to do all the netrunning(spell casting) and actually choose the dialogue options herself. And she picked what quests they did, as well as handled driving. So Vedal basically just walked or shot stuff. Everything else was her.

https://youtu.be/knRWY4b8OWQ

For her talking(typing), she uses an llm, but her thoughts and what she chooses to say ‘out loud’ are a separate neural network. Vedal can see her thoughts, and when they had to keep her alive for a group minecraft hardcore run, he eventually got desperate enough that he privately screen shared her mind to the player that was mostly taking care of her.

Heads up, Volume. This one naturally contains alot of screaming. It took 87 attempts, so 86 times someone died while they were all trying their hardest to re-do everyhting they had already done how many times before. Except better this time. They were all relatively average players before getting into this, so there was alot of learning to do. And Neuro is a special case. She’s like half infant, half 300 iq savant… so it’s easy to get lulled into a false sense of security, and then bam, she goes to “help” you with something you didn’t need help with and accidentally runs out into traffic.

Warning : loud screaming almost immediately!! https://youtu.be/xSDBU1p6zJo

But they might be able to make a similarly powered device with older style ram, it would take a significant re-work though, one that would delay release.

So this basically confirms they didn’t go that route.

It might be about general knowledge of how colliders work, the sentence structure does it no favours, but half way through I realised it had to be intentional/beneficial due to knowing the only possible way a collider generates heat as a byproduct.

Where as someone that doesn’t know much about colliders might read that sentence and assume it’s like radiative heat or something.

The cockroach mice might be that they had only heard about or seen other slighly less terrible drawings of lobsters.

Edit: Oh wait, thats the ET thing.

The cockroach mice are little paisley looking ones.

Stuff like this makes a bit more sense when you think about how Autism has been a thing for a very long time. This is the kind of shit we still get up to now.

Yeah, making life harder for as many people as possible tends to not have the effect of lowering crime. Investing in people is the way to go. But it takes more than 4 years to really show, sometimes it takes multiple generations before the positive effects are felt. But they are felt.

Trump was a democrat at the time, likely still is personally, he always said if he ran for president though he would run as republican because it’s easier.

For people with no morals, what they personally would like to live under has no bearing on what they would subject other people to.

The chat bot just assumes it’s in the context of active war. Not that there isn’t even a war. There are no active combatants or “effectively surrendering” combatants. There is just people accused of a crime they may, or may not, be guilty of… and missiles.

Even if it was in the context of a war it would be a crime, but there isn’t even that context. It’s murder, arguably worse than war crime, it’s crime, and one of the worst crimes there is.

What does it say about stealing boats? Again without the context of being in a war…

I have to assume as a close friend of becky, that still hung out with her post-transition, that must have been something becky was ok with. Alot of older trans are not very sensitive about getting it all absolutely correct. And especially when their old name is the one they are famous/well-known by.

Plus it was written in a timeline of their life and post-transition switches to they. It may not be how younger trans have setup the rules to work, but it doesn’t strike me as something that becky would have had a problem with.

I don’t want to spoil the surprise, but I think it might be escaped convicts riding escaped zoo animals.

If they would have focussed on making a good place first, and then corrupting it with commercialism, they could have at least boiled a few of us frogs. But you can’t start with the commercialism foot forward and the quality foot behind and expect to make a place worth visiting.

Alternately, a buggalo ranch, named the Wong place.

Hehe, yeah. In the oldendays there was newspaper as an option for drying glass streak-free. It was never the best choice luckily, but it used to be prevalent. A squeegee was the old better solution, and a microfiber cloth is the new better solution.

Hehe, I just meant the collecting and redistributing knowledge part. Though yes, it also doesn’t qualify as knowledge, just a string of words that seems like it fits the occasion. Though… not to sell myself short, but not super far off.

If you are catching spray, try to increase the follow distance between you and the vehicle ahead. Same deal for rocks in places where that is a concern. It can be hard to leave a big gap, for fear that someone will come into that gap, but you can’t fix everyone, you can only fix you.

But, we also do have wipers for anything that happens during the current drive, not as good as not getting dirty in the first place, but better than staying dirty.

It was general advice for the situation, not specific to the image. There are many things that can cause it to be much more difficult to see when driving towards a low sun than it actually needs to be. It’s not a great situation at it’s best, but it shouldn’t be fully debilitating.

I am an autistic 41 year old man that lives in my parents basement. I just collect information and re-distribute it where it is needed.

I am basically the pre-cursor to an LLM, an LLM made of meat.

If you’ve ever watched or read anything with that “wise old hermit” that people line up to ask their philosophical questions to. That was an oldendays autistic person of the same type as me. Can’t function in society, but has no emotional thinking to cloud their logic. The thing is, no matter how logical the advice was, and how much it made sense in the moment, it may not have been applicable to normal people. Though I am of course aware of the nature and source of my clarity and try to keep it in mind when giving advice. Unlike the wise hermits of old.

Not to say I am always right, and not to say logic is always the correct solution. But it often is, and I often am.

Clean your windshield, inside and out, and polarized sunglasses, or sunglass clips for glasses. And make sure any level of astigmatism you may have is known and corrected for.

If after washing your windshield, it still scatters the incoming light too much, it is probably pitted. You may have to consider replacing it. It is part of maintaining a vehicle. It may suck to be surprised with an expense like that, but the surprise expense of an avoidable accident is much worse. And might not only be expensive.
