For my phone. I have about 30 or 40 micro USB cables from buying various things or my family gives me and I think 3 Usb-C cables. I so I needed some adapters and gave some to my sister. Its mainly for me to have so I can charge my phone at work on their chargers.

A USB-c cable locally is about $10 and the adapters cost me $7 for 6 of them. With all the micro USB cables I have its just cheaper to buy and adapter and use them like that.

It may not look like much but this is the best retro controller I've ever used. The dpad is just perfect. It has 4 microswitches on a pivoted dpad which makes each direction feel distinct and gives perfect clicky feedback.

The one in the front is my well used pad. I've had it for about 10 years and love it. I just recently found one BNIB on eBay so picked it up in case this one ever fails :D

Ordered hardcover copies of the currently released Bradley Beaulieu's Songs of Shattered Sands books (and preordered the next one coming in July).

Forget how I came across the series, but started reading it a week or so ago and am just about to finish the last currently released book on my Kindle, and liked it enough that I wanted physical copies of it.

I normally go for paperbacks, but not all of the books were available as paperback in the various stores I checked, and having "mismatched" books in a series mildly irks me so had to go for hardcovers this time around.

    I had a girlfriend who had a twin sister and they would mess with me constantly.... Until one chipped a tooth then finally I could tell them apart.... Lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They would have the same hair style the same clothes everything... Really messed with my head lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    @The Real Jdbye, I could see AMD trying to pull off the CPU GPU tandem thing, would be a way to maybe close the gap a bit with Nvidia. Plus it would kinda put Nvidia at a future disadvantage since Nvidia can't make X86/64 CPUs? Intel and AMD licensing issues... I wonder how much that has held back innovation.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't think nvidia wants to get in the x64 cpu market anyways
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    you've seen how much intel is struggling getting into the gpu market
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and nvidia is already doing ARM
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't think they want to take more focus away from their gpus
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah I think Nvidia s future lays in AI GPU acceleration stuff if they can get that going it's going to be super interesting in the long term
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    AI assisted game creation might become a thing
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    At least that's something I think would be pretty cool.

    Don some VR glasses and gloves and talk to the computer and paint entire worlds

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Many TBs of assets and the programming of something like that is going to be tough but I think it's something we might see in 20 years maybe sooner
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Psionic Roshambo AI assisted game creation is kinda already here, there was recently that AI that can turn any 2D image into a fully modeled 3D object, it's not perfect, but it's a starting point, beats starting from zero

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    before that there was one to generate a fully modeled scene from a 2D image
     +1
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but most recently, there was one that actually generates a working unity scene with terrain and textures already set up that you can import right into unity, that's a huge time saver right there

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and using LLMs to generate NPC dialogue and even dynamically generated quests is something i'm sure is already happening

  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    will just take some time for games made using those things to be completed and released
