I haven't had the pleasure of playing PF2 as a player yet, but I definitely think the Swashbuckler would be near the top of my list of classes to play as if I did. I spent a lot more time theorising about different characters I could build in D&D 5e using the swashbuckler rogue subclass (and various multiclasses), but this class just seems better all around.

I doubt it. Other forms of AI could be useful, but generative AI? I doubt it.

And tbh even deep learning through neural networks doesn't seem to be making the leaps we'd hoped for. AoE4 promised, prior to release, a machine learning–based AI would be delivered down the line. It's now almost 3 years since release and we haven't heard a thing about it.

Maybe eventually we'll be able to easily train a machine learning algorithm to play any game at a wide variety of skill levels (or at a very high level, if not at customisable levels), but it doesn't seem like it's any time soon.

A century or so of oppressed masses and greedy elites did it.

True, and that's important context if you're trying to get a deeper understanding of how Julius Caesar came to have the power he held before his assassination.

But there's enough of a problem you can see even if you just start at Julius, which is what I was concentrating on in my previous comment. The parallels to Trump are terrifyingly on the nose.

Sorry, were we reading the same comment?

My significant other has the same vague possessive connotations

I don't think it does at all. In fact I think just the opposite. It's saying they're an "other" person who is "significant" to you. It's quite sweet, actually, IMO.

Oh yes! Nice one! I've heard that small native shrubs and stuff are meant to be especially good for our smaller natural wildlife, and the trend towards large trees with nothing but grass surrounding them is why shitty bullies like noisy miners are so common. More local planted plants in people's back yards is great!

Huh?

The Age of Mythology music cueing up at about 5:00 threw me off. Was not expecting that here, considering how much I've heard it lately with the recent release of Retold. [email protected]

Cats and rats and rabbits were obvious, but I was surprised to see things like cattle and goats make the list.

We eat Easter Bilbies in this house, damn it.

Where? I haven't seen them in stores for years.

Oh I didn't for one second think it was a true story. But it is a fun story that, with the exception of this one massive glaring hole, reads really well. Which just makes the one plot hole stand out even more.

Oh good, I'm glad someone else is asking this question. The whole story hinges on it, and it doesn't make sense.

The mod later edited their comment:

EDIT: as funny as it is to imagine that I literally removed the post because it spoiled a tournament result, I actually didn't; another mod removed it (for being low-effort). In light of this post's popularity I'll re-approve it.

Reddit link.

At some point OP deleted the post anyway. Dunno if it was in response to their treatment by mods, or unrelated to that.

Technically correct: not always the best kind of correct.
