RANT: Telehealth is an absolute fucking joke

  • Receive promotional e-mail about telehealth service through my medical insurance
  • Me: Sure, why not, let's see if telehealth can actually do anything to help me
  • Sign up for service, plug in personal info, health details, credit card info
  • Hop on telehealth call, guy says he can't do anything for my condition and that I need to see a doctor in-person
  • Ask him if they're still going to charge me the $59 for the visit
  • He says no
  • We wrap up the call
  • My credit card immediately gets charged $59

Now I have to waste a ton of time reporting the fucking problem to my employer and my medical insurance provider, and get reimbursement for the $59 they stole from me.

I fucking hate our medical system. I fucking HATE it. It's absolutely fucking USELESS.

Gemini 3.8 Flash model missing from Gemini CLI?

Hey guys, I am using Gemini CLI v0.59.0. It's installed with npm on MacOS. I'm logged into Google Cloud by using the gcloud CLI (Vertex AI), and configured the required environment variables:

  • GOOGLE_CLOUD_LOCATION
  • GOOGLE_CLOUD_PROJECT

For some reason I cannot find the newer Gemini 3.8 Flash or 3.7 Flash models in the model list. Even if I try to force the 3.8-flash model, using the `--model` parameter, the Gemini CLI still uses 3.5 Flash.

➡️ Why is 3.8 Flash missing from Gemini CLI, and how do I select this model in the Gemini CLI? For that matter, why is 3.5 Flash Lite also missing?

Has anyone tried NVIDIA DLSS 5 with Enderal? Every other game looks amazing

I have an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 but I haven't installed any of the utilities, like DLSS Swapper yet. Has anyone taken any screenshots or video with DLSS 5 and Enderal? Skyrim and Oblivion look insanely realistic with it, and I'd love to see more realism in Enderal too!

Brain fog with gastroparesis

Does anyone else get unpredictable brain fog in the mornings? I woke up this morning and don't even feel like I am inside my own body. I am trying to focus just to get basic things done, like a sponge bath, getting clothes on, but I don't even feel like I have the capability of forcing myself to focus. It's like my brain is floating in space and my physical body is just operating on autopilot. I don't know what I'm doing.

It's such a weird sensation, and I don't like it, not to mention the ongoing abdominal pain from GP.

AC Shadows, Valhalla, Odyssey, and Origins are why I preordered Black Flag Resynced

The graphics, gameplay, massive open world, and overall refinement of AC: Shadows is what led me to preorder Black Flag Resynced. Preordering games is generally dumb. But Ubisoft deserves a preorder for Black Flag, considering: 1) how good the original Black Flag was, 2) how good the Anvil engine has become in Shadows.

Do the story and objectives in AC: Shadows suck? Yes, but I still sink hours into this game because the game world is pure immersion and awesomeness. I am in awe at the beauty of Japan in this game.

NOTE: The HDR version of this exact screenshot isn't so saturated. Looks much better in HDR, as usual.

Getting Into Stellar Blade finally

I don't have a ton of time to play games, due to work and severe health issues. A while ago, I gave up Stellar Blade because the combat didn't feel right to me. Now I am picking up where I left off, and am giving it another chance. It's truly an awesome and beautiful game.

I've recently played PRAGMATA, Assassin's Creed: Shadows, and a little bit of RDR2, Hellblade II, and Spyro Reignited.

Hot take: AC Shadows has best graphics of any current game

Look, I realize that Cyberpunk 2077 looks absolutely incredible as well. But in terms of graphical quality, landscape, realism, dynamic weather system, day/night cycle, seasonality, and raw natural beauty, AC: Shadows is at the absolute top. Nothing else comes even close to the holistic beauty of nature that AC: Shadows captures.

I still can't believe these graphics

As usual, the HDR version looks even better.

  • High resolution textures
  • Clothing deformation
  • Realistic rain simulation
  • Detailed hair and lighting
  • Volumetric fog / dust

It's really hard to be critical of any graphical aspects of this game. As usual, it can always get better, but if anyone complains about the graphical quality or performance of AC: Shadows, they can just buzz off.

Playing Spyro Reignited for the first time on PC 4k | NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080

I've known about the classic Spyro series for a really long time, I just never have had time to play it. I have really severe, chronic health problems, and have to support myself and my two dogs. Hence, I don't get much time for gaming. Since this was on sale for $10, I decided to pick it up and start playing. I've just been wanting something that's lightweight and "fun" to play. It's awesome that there are games like this, that can look decent graphically, but also have a cartoonish, animated characters, with simple controls and basic platforming. This is the kind of casual, "fun" gaming that makes the gaming industry so great.

I find it oddly coincidental that after years and years of not having time for it, the day I finally start playing Spyro, the next game is announced for 2027!!
