For DVDs, I’ve never had an issue. They just amplified the BS on BluRays tenfold.

I went the route of a physical collection, but man do they make it difficult unless you get a commercial player that is likely to have ads and doesn’t integrate well into a home theater setup.

I’ve taken to doing everything I can to play things through my computer, but they do everything in their power to make them unplayable. This includes things like adding hundreds of bogus playlists so you don’t know which one to play, adding extra layers of encryption that cause image corruption a few chapters into the movies, and more.

If they just allowed you to easily watch and rip the movies that I pay actual money for, I think a lot more people would be open to a physical collections of their favorites. As it stands, I can’t really recommend it.

This could be Incredible Machine maybe?

The thing that always gets me about these theories:

Lucid dreaming can have more to do with visualizing the possibilities. There’s a great quote from Waking Life that touches on exactly this:

The trick is to combine your waking rational abilities with the infinite possibilities of your dreams. Because, if you can do that, you can do anything.

Lucid dreaming lets you see how obtainable those dreams can be.

I was able to build a desktop capable of 4k60 for around $1500, and I overbuilt in places. You can definitely do okay at $1000 or less if you’re aiming for lower resolutions these days.

The rare times a complex had a map of the complex when I was delivering was a godsend.

Can you blame it?

You definitely can ask it to keep conversations in a casual tone through the customization and it does a good job from what I’ve experienced.

Here’s just a quick example by including it in a prompt without customization: Normal vs Casual
