So unlike most sweaty gamers, I HATE having to retry hundreds of times on the same boss fight or section and see absolutely no point in all the pain just for 5 seconds of dopamine.

I was kinda curious about Mina, but upon reading its another souls-adjacent retryfest really turned me off. that is until I read that there is an amazingly big suite of accessibility settings and difficulty options.

I am getting a little old now and just do not have the patience nor time for extremely difficult games like Hollow Knight and Elden Ring. I adore both said games dearly for everything they do but the difficulty is an extreme dealbreaker for me. I'm glad Mina is at least going to be engaging for me because I'm not hardstuck on hard bosses for hours.

Say what you will about the difficulty sliders, I may play this game day one solely because they exist. Just great to have a fun, engaging exploration and combat game like ER but with being able to actually progress without insane amounts of frustration and retries.

So in FH5, I tried making a series of Midnight Club-inspired races solely in Guanajuato in EventLab. Sadly it just wasn't big enough and I was very limited with what I could achieve. roads were linear-af and had no real potential for skirmishing nor shortcuts.

They were basically street races with far-away checkpoints to scramble to with no designated linear-route, authentically Midnight Club. I wanna try again in FH6's EventLab because the city is promisingly big, not huge but seemingly bigger than MCLA's map, probs barely. I wanna make a big-ish chronological set of races, probably 30 or so that span across tokyo, maybe pretend barriers where later races have more and more of tokyo. maybe some unordered ones? if possible at all.

thoughts? I've been clamouring for the return of Midnight Club so this is probably a great way to reminisce it.

Crazy disparity between the skins engagement on X, I thought it was just a Reddit thing that Ram is so beloved with thousands literally begging on their knees for more skins. This contest's results and the fact Ram ratio'ing every other skin from the contest almost thirty-fold means Ram's gotta get more skins right?

So in about 5 minutes, the protest at State Library in Melbourne to save the NDIS is kicking off, to those going to that or any others throughout the country, I really appreciate it. As a fellow NDIS Participant, I'm hoping the turnout is as huge as it can be and that it'll get the attention of the Albanese government

Unfortunately, I won't be able to go as loud shouting, cheering crowds are a huge sensory trigger for me to get set off with anxiety. One of the main reasons for being on NDIS is my massive aversion to crowd noises as well as autism. I currently live in an SIL and will probably be homeless without it and NDIS. I wish I could go to this protest but its going to be way too much for me, but good on ya all who are going, keep fighting the good fight!

imo they have now surpassed WAN for... scientific workflows. done a couple of videos alongside a concept lora i made for LTX2.3, and they work superbly. Especially Eros.

10Eros works quite great for I2V and is focused for it with a specific workflow (as described in the HF page), Sulphur 2 is both I2V and T2V

ENJOY!! ❤️ BIG thank you to Kwiv and Tenstrip, we love you ❤️

so i started doing street photography, and also got permission from a few people to get portraits, and car photos. only 1 portrait subject out of 3 turned out great (pics 2 and 3). out of the 48 photos ive taken, 40 of those were duds, but im very happy with the ones i did get. good first roll i think, definitely got some things to improve tho.
