  • What architectural style would you like to see come back?

  • The city I'm in has a ton of art deco buildings, I didn't even realize until I was an adult that it wasn't normal.

    I would want art deco everywhere, it's probably nostalgia talking, but I think it's hella classy.

  • Did you watch the show? The guy was a huge problem player. At a minimum, he didn't want to play D&D the same as the rest of the group.

  • Damn. The earliest thing I remember was AIM. I never used it, just remember being jealous of the other kids. Internet was so expensive.

  • Critical Role's Darrington Press Hires Two Legendary Dungeons & Dragons Game Designers

    Jump

  • HELL YEAH. I love those dudes, especially Perkins. That's a dude that loved D&D and you could tell how much he cared about its success.

    Having Hasbro/WotC slowly choking the game and becoming so money hungry probably drove them away.

  • I design call centers for my job, we have an AI bot that can handle non emergency calls and what you said at the end is how we do it.

    911 calls always start with a person, and the dispatcher can make the determination to transfer to the non-emergency bot. Y'all get too many calls that aren't actual emergencies tbh.

    Edit: I looked up Versaterm's solution, CallTriage, and it's important to note that the AI isn't for 911 calls, it's for non-emergency line calls only. The article is conflating the non-emergency calls with 911 calls for shock value.

  • Edit: I'm pretty sure the article is just going for shock value, and a lot of the commenters are getting baited. The City isn't looking to make 911 calls go to an AI. It's people who call the non-emergency line.

    I design call centers (including for PubSec) for a living. We have a service offering for a non-emergency 911 bot. It's honestly not even that new of a feature, it was around before the generative AI boom. Dispatch Centers are chronically understaffed, the job is hella stressful, there's a lot of attrition and training new employees takes a lot of time because the calls can be sensitive or complex.

    There is a pretty defined split in different cities (I mostly do state & local govt, not federal) in terms of who wants AI and who despises it. Some folks that lead dispatch groups are VERY adamant that everything needs to be a person, they often have big egos because their call center is "the most important" in any city.

    And yeah, we've implemented the non emergency 911 bot for customers before. Our design starts with an agent though, and if the agent makes the determination that it's not an emergency, they transfer the call over to the automated line. Btw, roughly half of all calls into a 911 center are actual "emergencies". So they get a shit ton of calls they don't need to, my guess is just because 911 is easy to remember and a non emergency line isn't, I feel like we need another 3 digit line for "not life and death but still important" calls.

  • Goddamn I listened to DC Talk a lot as a kid, growing up in a Christian home. Didn't follow his solo career but listened to TobyMac, who was also in DC Talk. Pretty crazy news for that world.

  • Yeah I don't really think it's shitty, but it completely tanked at the box office. Like, Disney cancelled plans for sequels and a theme park ride kind of tanked.

  • This is pretty awesome. I do really like the new mayor so far.

  • Treasure Planet. There's weird plot choices, but I loved the mixed animation, the music, the characters.

    An actually bad but amazing movie would be Miami Connection. Karate rock band sings about friendship fights motorcycle drug ninjas. Fuck yeah bro.

  • The short answer is the game wasn't balanced around it.

    I feel like Rogues (sneak attack) and Wizards (spell sculpting) in particular could abuse this heavily. Also any class that gets their subclass at level 1 or 2.
