What are the chances I will die of a motor vehicle crash outside of my lifetime?

Inspector Gadget

Are we going for a Mammoth Tank at some point?

I’ve played oblivion and Skyrim before, it was just Morrowind I stayed away from

I just finished Morrowind for the first time a few weeks ago, vanilla other than using openmw. It has aged a lot better than I expected it would have. I can definitely see why people say it’s their favorite TES, and I’m not talking with any kind of nostalgia.

I use the steam deck preset with yuzu. I also changed the resolution to 900p and increased the framecap to 40 fps and menu to 90 IIRC

I also lowered draw distance slightly. Can’t remember if I made any other adjustments

I’ve got totk running at around 30-40 fps with some hitches using TOTK optimizer https://github.com/MaxLastBreath/TOTK-mods/releases

I’ve had one of these running for years, honestly I didn’t expect it to last this long as it looks really cheap

Gonna agree or disagree with both of you - I think gaming is worse most of the time on an ultra wide but doing productivity side by side is really cool, and like you mentioned watching movies works very well with 2.4:1 or similar aspect ratios

This is a difficult one for me as I grew up with both (started work green leaf & GB pinball as my first Pokemon games) bit I think I agree, explorers of time/darkness was a much better game than any of the mainline Pokemon games were

I used to work while listening to audiobooks so I have come across a lot of this.

It’s not quite what you asked for but what I found was that in general, nonfiction memoirs were my favorite types of books to listen to as it would be ok if you get distracted and they were usually very interesting to me.

If I remember later I’ll check my list of books I’ve read and try to find some good fiction too.

I use plexamp too with a large library so I can comment on the android side (I didn’t know some of these differences existed)

• the app has settings for audio quality dependent on connection type, including not converting hires audio
• as far as I can tell the EQ in plexamp is global across devices, though it has presets for specific devices -same on Android I don’t think you can manually listen to downloaded songs outside of the app

I’ll also comment that I sort all my music by folder and Plex does ok with this Not great, but it works

People like to hate on FC5 but honestly it’s my favorite one

Same, never seen anything star trek related but the memes here are pretty good

Hoping Python NT will be coming out soon

I’ve actually found myself surprised at how my brain doesn’t hear that was weird. I personally find it very natural. Maybe it’s because I was read a lot of stories verbally as a kid?

Elevenlabs is incredible but yeah it’s not there 100% for audiobook purposes I think. I trained it on an audiobook from one of my favorite narrators and had it read from another book. It sounded just like the guy but the intonations and mannerisms just weren’t quite there to match the text.

It’s weird. When there’s just one narrator and they do different voices for different characters I don’t think twice about it but I can still tell the characters apart by voice alone. But when there’s an entirely different person’s voice my attention gets mildly distracted by it. It’s similar to when sometimes books will have a random sentence read out by someone different than the narrator, probably a post recording correction.

That being said it’s usually pretty few and far between when I come across an audiobook book with multiple narrators, and usually it’s per section of the book (maybe from the perspective of different characters) rather than switching mid dialogue between characters
