Lingonberry sauce on meat, ham on melon, apple in coleslaw… Apple sauce on hash browns! I think every cuisine has combinations like that, but the specific ingredients are location specific.

I’ll be honest, I’m aware that IT stands for information technology but… I don’t think I would ever associate a website with .it with anything other than Italy. Maybe other people think the same and that’s why it’s less popular?

Or maybe it’s because you can get even weirder ones now, like .tech, .online, .art etc.

(not who you replied to)

respect is the minimum due to every living being on earth.

Well… Yeah, for living beings, not corpses. A corpse is not gonna care about you “respecting” (a human concept!) it. Like, it’s fine if you need to bury a pet to feel better, but it’s not gonna care - these kinds of rituals are for the living.

(Also, fwiw, I’d hope my corpse would be harvested for organs after my death and everything that can’t be used to help the living can be chopped up and tossed in the bin lol I’m not gonna be there to see it. Plus, that way I’m not wasting space decomposing slowly.)

Even if you come to the conclusion that these models should be allowed to “learn” from copyrighted material, the issue is that they can and will reproduce copyrighted material.

They might not recreate a picture of Mickey Mouse that exists already, but they will draw a picture of Mickey Mouse. Just like I could, except I’m aware that I can’t monetize it in any way. Well, new Mickey Mouse.

Probably the Nautiloid then (the area you wake up in that’s all… Bombed and has those pods).

(Ignore the rest of my comment if you have no interest at all in the game anymore, but read on if you want to give it another chance)

BG3 has a lot of content and story, but if you’ve never played a CRPG (like D&D but digital), it’s a bit difficult to get into. If you ever consider revisiting the game, there’s no shame in picking the easiest setting and/or looking up build guides online to make the combat easier (and save scum).

There’s a lot of very well written story and characters in the game and it’s one of those games where your choices actually matter. You can also take your sweet time with almost everything that’s happening in the game if you feel overwhelmed (something that new players aren’t really told).

Signed, someone who thought this type of game wasn’t her jam at all and is now 140h deep into her first playthrough ❤️
