It's kind of weird that Silent Hill F, Armored Core 6, and Expedition 33 are all games that have wild insane third act twists that are far superior to the journalist-path opening thirds of their games, but it really highlights to me how influential and underrated Nier Automata is.

Got some rest. Did my day work.
Now back at this with fresh eyes, I was able to polish up the bits that felt weird to me from last night.
I keep saying this project is intended to play like Armored Core. Hopefully it's becoming clear why.

I think a lot of cost estimation of AI prompts is being done at the purely marginal power consumption / GPU uptime level because those metrics are easy to snag. But it's the same level of academic dishonesty as estimating the cost to build a car by dividing the price of gas by it's MPG.
This piece is full of egregious assumptions about the cost of running Anthropic’s models based on absolutely nothing, but this may be the worst - estimating that the cost of serving Claude opus 4.5 is comparable to GPT-4o. Sometimes I wonder if techmeme has a gas leak

We're witnessing a beautiful experiment where widespread grassroots coverage of ICE's abuses has made hating ICE a wildly popular stance, yet democratic leaders are so incredibly out of touch that mainstream media is forced to go foraging lefty spaces for content that can meet that view.

Little response to an ask mentioning how Leonard has been estranged from Theo's life, but is "very alive" and happily ignorant of Theo's bizarre hobbies.
Ah... yeah. Very alive. I'm sure dear old dad is just fine, don't even worry about it.

So basically, some meme account made up a sales number, which was picked up and incuriously reported by the Times of India, which then got cited and laundered by Grok hallucinating a bunch of reputable sources, leading to actual democratic governor Gavin Newsome broadcasting the false statistic.
I appreciate that The Verge keeps chewing on this bone
600,000 Trump Mobile phones sold? There’s no proof.
No one except Trump Mobile knows the real sales figures.

It was just this for an hour. Cycling through main attack, crustal crush, and mayhem to build 3-4 shields per turn cycle and having enough health that I can heal back to full if I get clipped by an attack. I still kinda can't dodge consistently but that doesn't matter anymore.

Mopping up the map before the paintress I figured out an absolutely busted solo Lune build that generates 2 shields and self heals every turn so that I can kill golgra before act 3.
