Job for a Cowboy. Their latest album, Moon Healer, is fucking incredible. If you're into technical death metal it's a must listen

Morrowind with online multiplayer. Don't get me wrong, I like Skyrim and ESO is cool, just different. But I enjoyed my Morrowind experience and would love to see it modernized in some ways, mostly visual

The wired model has been my daily driver for damn near 8 years now. Use em for music at work and gaming at home (though I would approve for gaming at work). I haven't wanted or needed to upgrade since I got them

Not an ingredient necessarily, but I toast rice with spices before cooking it. I throw some oil and garlic in the pot I'm going to cook the rice in, then put in the rice and (for mexican-like dishes) garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, cumin, a little oregano, a little cayenne pepper, and salt. I mix that all up continuously over medium heat for a couple minutes, then I add the water and cook the rice. It makes an incredible difference in taste

Looks like a couple people mentioned this, but you will likely want/need to mod whatever system you get. I have a modded NES and Atari 7800, so I can comment on those.

There used to be a NES mod that fixed the pin connector issue, called "Blinking Light Win" https://www.arcadeworks.net/products/blw?variant=36483581116569. They've been sold out for at least a couple years (I've sporadically checked out of curiosity since I bought mine). But if you can get your hands on one I strongly recommend it. It has made my NES incredibly reliable and it's very easy to install. No soldering, just open the console, remove the 72 pin connector, and pop in the BLW. Done.

For the Atari 7800, there's a composite video/s-video board mod you can pick up. I'm forgetting what the name of it is, and I don't have the manual handy at the moment, but I will try to update later with the name and link. Anyway, this one is more involved and requires some soldering. It's not too difficult, just requires some patience, and it's very worth it. Composite audio is a separate solution, but doesn't require extra hardware, just a little more soldering.

I hope that helps! Feel free to reach out about these mods and I can explain further.

Natural language processing falls under AI though, and so do large language models (see chapters 23 and 24 of Russell and Norvig, 2021 http://aima.cs.berkeley.edu/).

I don't understand this, honestly. I look at the final price of something regardless of whether or not it's on sale and think to myself "Is this a reasonable price for this item? Is it something I actually want/need and will use?" If I answer no to either I usually don't buy it.

I got pretty far, I think the end of season 7. When Carl got bit I realized I did not give a fuck about him or the show.

I sat there after that for bit and thought about how much time I spent watching this show and thinking I should just finish it. But nah, I'm glad I haven't watched the rest.

Avatar the last air bender and rock band. Aang has trouble landing notes on his guitar with his air bending, Katara fries her bass amp by accidentally dousing it in water, Zuko melts the drum kit when he gets pissed that he fucked up the timing of the last song, and Sokka just can't sing, plain and simple.

I know Zuko isn't really part of the gang, but I haven't watched enough to know what Toph is like yet.

Playing with a friend and we're both playing our own characters. My friend has this jank ass summoner/support build that does pretty much everything except damage (aside from summons). And I'm a full blown pyro/air/earth/water mage (in order of strength). We have Lohse as our ranger and Fane as our rogue. It's been a lot of fun and I think we're pretty well balanced out. We were running with Ifan instead of Fane on the first island but got bored of him tanking with warfare. I wanted to see Ifan's story play out, but I don't regret the switch at all cuz combat is way more interesting now
