I played the hell out of NWN when it came out. I still think the engine holds up, too. The content creation tools they gave you with the game were phenomenal. Probably my favorite game.

If you read nimbius' response above, you'll have a better idea of why this was. Basically, prisoners are responsible for purchasing their own sanitary supplies (among other things), men and women.

Ah, I see. So, some kind of OCR for sheet music, then?

I'm sure you know about it, but IMSLP ( https://imslp.org/ ) has quite a few scores from which they could pull.

I consider myself a music creator. I signed up for the beta. I'm ambivalent about the idea of "AI"-assisted creative production and the trend toward homogenization.

No, I was being earnest.

I'm not trying to change your process, but just letting you know that that process is not the same for everyone, hence it'd be useful for others to know your "tint." It's interesting that your main criteria is how y

Interesting. I'm on Windows and I tend to find sites with custom fonts render terribly, but this one is quite pleasant.

No, but it shows that you only care to share in the bad, not the good. There is a tint to your worldview and it'd be useful for others to see that when weighing what you have to say. For the record, I rarely leave reviews. When I do, t

"The students found the writer voicing negative opinions much more intelligent and persuasive than the one voicing praise." Well, this resonates. One of the things I do when scouring online reviews is to search out the negative re

I'm also using Schwab as my main account and for the most part enjoy it. It's not as (seemingly) simple and intuitive as the other products philip1209 mentioned, though. It's a well-established bank/brokerage firm, and i

I've only read "Assembling California", but I agree. I'll add, though, the dry-ness is offset with a bit of wit. A deadpan humor, almost. I enjoyed it and I'm sure I'll make my way through some more of his work

Couldn't agree more. I happened upon an Annie Dillard book ("For the Time Being") at the last day of a HalfPrice Books moving sale. I'd never heard of her before, but I randomly picked it up, flipped through a few pages,

In Los Angeles. Oddly enough, I went to see if I could find that plan again and it's nowhere to be found. The cheapest it's showing for me is a $50 a month plan for 100 Mb/s speeds.

In essence that's what I do, except with a Keepass file in OneDrive. It's been working pretty well for me the last few years. Not sure how insecure it is, though. I imagine it'd take someone cracking my OneDrive password to g

I must've lucked out, then, as I only pay $15 a month for an Internet-only plan through Spectrum. Granted, the speeds aren't anything to write home about (30 Mb/s download), but it's more than serviceable.

Tangentially, what does this offer that Promethease doesn't? I ask because I've run genomic data through Promethease and I'm wondering if running through your service would be redundant.

Ah, that's actually pretty reasonable. I've been looking for an x220 as a cheap laptop to throw a BSD on and tinker, but was always a bit hesitant due to the old architecture. This would definitely solve that! (I also like that th

Just finished reading "Chernobyl Prayer" and I have to say it really did make me rethink my position on nuclear energy. Not that I'm an expert or have any way of impacting the future of nuclear energy, or anything. But, as yo

I do feel it odd to say content creation will be done on a desktop OS rather than a mobile OS when it seems that more and more people are using their mobile OS as a primary means of creation and sharing. Maybe in a less powerful way, but mo

UWP programs seem so damn unresponsive, to me. I think part of it is excessive animations. Compare the right-click dropdown in Edge to that in Firefox, for example. Maybe if there were some setting where I could set the speed of those anima
