In this case, it looks like they’re in high school, too. I love anime and have seen the worst of it, and I’d never expect this to have explicit sex in it. If you told me it ended up being incredibly violent I’d be less surprised than about the sex.
“You shouldn’t judge a book by its cover”, but that’s exactly what the cover is made for. This cover failed to represent its book.
And incentivize them to raise it? No thanks!
I would think that problem is simpler than that. If you have any legal problem with them, AI or otherwise, how do you have your lawyer contact them?
Initially, I agreed with you. But then I realized: These authors don’t ever want their work anywhere near an AI. Their work could then easily be used for things they don’t agree with.
Of course, if they publish it at all, it’ll still be available to be used like that against their wishes, but at least they didn’t support that directly.
I think Angry Robot should have a checkbox (checked by default, even) that allows the author to opt out of the AI-based classification process. That’ll mean their story needs more effort from Angry Robot to review, so it’s less likely they’ll make it in… But if they have a good story, that won’t matter.
So far as I know, there’s no meaningful different between older and newer chromecast dongles when it comes to just streaming video.
Why not try it? Plex can be downloaded for free and just stream from a local file and try it?
That sounds really familiar, but I think I stopped reading it pretty early on, and I have no idea what the name was.
Good luck!
That’ll never happen so long as there’s the possibility of being sued for admitting you’re doing something that might be illegal. It’s simply not worth the risk to most people.
Even though I live in a fairly large city, I’m not ever really in a situation where I’m likely to pass a lot of other people who also brought the console with Street Pass turned on.
As such, I used the router hack to fake it. That was awesome, but I mostly enjoyed the free stuff I was getting, since it really had nothing to do with other people. That basically means the game would have been better off with just giving out free stuff randomly instead.
Of all the games I play with “Street Pass”, none of them really made sense of that feature. It was either required to play the game (which was lame) or it was free stuff for a game that should be perfectly fine without it.
I definitely wouldn’t call it exciting, but it was novel and somewhat cool… At least as an idea.
I really enjoyed the first 3 Mistborn, though I’ll admit the third was the weakest of them. I’m not sure why you need to have read them for the other stuff, though. I’ve enjoyed a lot of his works, but the magic systems are quite different between them, despite apparently being in the same universe. (Which I didn’t realize until I’d read a lot of his books.)
Often, I don’t. If I think there is a good chance of a payoff, though… I start skimming the crap. I’ve learned to skim through stuff until something of import comes up, and then I step back a couple paragraphs and start reading again.
I don’t know how you’d learn this, but I learned it back in high school when I needed to find information in the textbook quickly, but couldn’t afford to actually read every page on the way. It was massively successful back then, and now both.
If after skimming like 1/4 of a book I haven’t found anything interesting again, I almost always quit, though. It’s really unlikely that a book with that much content that I don’t care about will have anything that I value later.
That said… I have skimmed entire books on re-read. Some of the middle Wheel of Time books, for example. And some were so bad that I just read a summary, instead of skimming. But I like the first books enough that it was worth it for the ending, which was decent, but not mind-blowing like I’d hoped. (I “re-read” them when the later books finally came out and I wanted a refresher.)
I’ve been into Progression Fantasy lately. Everyone I know who read Naomi Navik’s Scholomance series loved it. I also really enjoyed Cradle, Menocht Loop, and … hm, others, but nothing is popping into my head.
Fullstack developer here. I only maintain the servers I need to do hobby stuff.
Nintendo Switch Lite…
Not: Nintendo Lite Switch ?
Ah, yeah. Clan. I’m used to playing fantasy MMOs with “guilds” instead, and still call them that.
I played D2 with a good guild for a while, and it was quite a different game than playing solo. They often wanted another player to go through things, and it was pretty easy to pick up a third player if 2 of us wanted to do things. I could see an easy-going guild being a good place to pick up a third player when that wants to explore like you do, without the same person always having to want to play when you do.
I left the guild when some of the shine of D2 fell off after the last expansion, and I realized I was letting it run my life. They even offered to let me stay, but I knew that’d be bad for taking control back.
Anyhow, try to find an active, but casual guild.
I like the scores being in a vertical column, but I don’t like that they’re so far from the site and author. Overall this is better, though.
Props for using G1 characters, but…
That movement looks like some novice opened up UE4 or Unity and just threw the models in without adjusting anything… And it might even be worse than the default character controller.
