  • I think there’s a large fanbase because of the intersection of people who grew up with them and the people who were too young to see them live but wished that they could, so yes, people probably do care to an extent, but it’s more accurate that people will be interested to hear it so they can try and get tickets

    I can’t really think of a band that reasonably could get back together which would have a larger pull except for maybe One Direction, but even that’s a push when considering the number of people who could be interested in getting tickets



  • Yeah either you live in London so are paying at a minimum 1600/month or 20k/year for a 350k mortgage, or if you live in the north or less desirable parts of the south you’re gonna be paying 750/month or 9000/year for a 175k mortgage, either way if that’s 40%, once you consider tax, bills, heating, food, transport (because no way can you afford to live within walking distance of work as a first time buyer) and whatever else you frankly don’t have a whole load left all in


  • Yeah even gpt4o couldn’t keep track of encounters, run battles etc. in my case…

    I think if you wanted to do it mechanically consistently you’d probably need to integrate it into a vtt where you give it context and potentially fine-tune it to give quest related summaries & gming rather than just “stuff”


  • Yeah, of course it varies place to place but I think for the majority of at least somewhat developed countries and urban areas in less developed countries 50Mbps is a reasonable figure for “normal home internet” - even at 25Mbps you’re looking at 4½ hours for 50GB which is very doable if you leave it going while you’re at work or just in the background over the course of an evening

    Edit: I was curious and looked it up. Global average download is around 50-60Mbps and upload is 10-12Mbps.



  • And how many millions of people are fairly good at being a software developer?

    I think “fairly good” was an understatement on my part… Tim Berners-Lee got a knighthood for being “fairly good” as a software developer, as he invented the worldwide web. Kier Starmer got a knighthood for being “fairly good” as a public procecutor for handling a number of cases of national importance extremely well. What have you done that has significantly changed the country for the better?

    You’ve got to consider the difficulty/seniority of the job, a general doing a “fairly good” job is more likely to get a medal than a private doing a “fairly good” job who’ll get fuck all
