lol... just came across a legacy system with NFS lockup issues... uptime.. 2745 days.. holy shit

I'm also not sure I could go back to 1080p on a 14-15" display... but 1080p 144hz displays are all the rage on gaming oriented laptops... I rather like my 3k display for regular stuff...

So... I need to replace my -not- laptop 2014 Razerblade 14" which I have a ton of regrets about. It hasnt had a working battery in 18 months. One of the fans died and the second is on its way out and they can't be replaced without solder work.

I need some one to talk me out of shelling out for something like a MSI G65 or Gigabyte Aero 15X.

Like... I can afford it... but I have a gaming rig. That is only barely showing its age because I want to do 1440p 144hz gaming and my 1070 is not up to the task.

So in theory in I could not buy a beefy laptop and buy something like a RTX 2070 for my desktop... but then there are the few times I travel for work... or visit my folks... but really.

What do I want? Something in 13-15" range... sub 5lbs.

Dedicated gpu, 16GB of ram min, and at least 512GB of Nve storage.

Aside from the thermal issues killing the battery I really loved my razerblade 14" for the first 2 years I owned it.. I still love the form factor but I'm not willing to dump 2.5k USD on something that starts falling apart in a 2 years. Plus from some reading they have some serious QC issues... still with their laptops.

Ugh... first day after getting more than 5 hours of sleep... in 3 days... and got a whole 8 last night... but today... I'm exhausted... and dizzy. Standing up is causing serious vertigo.

Thanks body..

At least I'm not oncall... but I might call in sick tomorrow...

IDK... got a little bit of critical work done laying in my bed but I really... really want to nap.... and WHY THE FUCK ARE ALL THE INSTRUCTORS FOR THESE AWS TRAINING VIDEOS SO MONOTONE THEY ARE PUTTING ME EVEN MORE TO SLEEP!

@kistaro @jvrrxk@weirder.earth

Hehehe! Glad to hear it!

@kistaro

That definitely seems like a good reason to push against those feelings. There are definitely some very good artists in the fandom for that sort of subject though! Go for it! It gets easier after the first time!

@kistaro

I have terrible anxiety over commissioning stuff... but you should totally try commission some... what was it...

"glowy dragonesses with big ol' glowy wangs, plz"

or

"glossy gooey latexy tentacle dragonesses"

I think I might be paraphrasing but still!

Kindle highlights ate the formatting but...

"<You’ve always got a story,> Amavia replied with a laugh.
Sabrina considered that. She never really told her stories much, but because they were always made alongside her crew, she didn’t have to—Amavia was new so there was a lot of lore for her to catch up on. That was what Sabrina liked the most about being a starship. Her stories were always made with her favorite people, and they stayed attached to her forever. She thought back over her past, to all the things she’d done, all the adventures.
It really was the best life she could have ever hoped for. One she planned to keep living for a long time to come. Mobile frames are nice, but I really just like being a starship."

and this..

"After keeping close to the departing strand for a day, Amavia brought the Garrulous Brooke alongside Sabrina and, when the ship’s original crew returned to their vessel, Amavia reboarded Sabrina. And once again the entire crew was inside her hull.  Sabrina felt complete. Happy. Like a starship should."

Also.. re-reading that... please ignore the valley girl tone. Somehow I used a lot of "like" and "so like" and I'm not really sure where it came from...

Going to blame it on 5 hours of sleep... and feeling sick

I could probably babble about this a lot...

I'm trying to feel out my exact thoughts.. because damn.. like it is pretty solid scifi..

but some of the characters are like... damn dude (author) we get it... you have a thing for hot, in charge women in skin tight suits..

Then he goes and writes Sabrina (ship AI) and I'm like.... fuck I love this character, she's neat... and like.. a good ship and loves being a ship.. and has some great stuff when it comes to her thought processes and interactions with everyone and what is important to her, aka being a fucking ship with a crew she cares about and wants to protect and have great adventures with and also equal rights for all sentient live.

So somehow I've kind delved into the Aeon 14 universe by M.D Cooper.

On the one hand... a lot of this shit is totally up my alley. Snappy characters (human and AI), really good dialogue and action writing.... concepts I like a lot.. especially in the Perseus Gate series where one of the main characters is the ship AI that loves being a ship..

At the same time... it's really.. really horny and OMFG fetish material.. but somehow not?

So like...in the first book we have a hacker girl that is introduced by getting shot up and falling into a vat of "silbio" which is silicon based biological nanotech and her AI uses it to patch her up (dying in the process) something like 70% of her body is green translucent silicon computing smart material.

This is a minor but important character.

2nd book in the main line series.. she hooks up with another supporting character that well... extremely heavily modded for unrealistic sex stuff and appearance.. nearly dies in a major space battle and gets pretty cooked and has a polymer that resembles latex slapped while new skin is grown... except she decides to keep it.

Those two stay married for 70 years before jelly girl gets killed.

Anyway.. Jessica, miss glossy, latex skin and impossible curves spends 18 (plus a bunch of time raising AI kids in a time compressed sim) years with an AI in her head... Has AI children with her husband (like 100 years after all this stuff.. mind you there is a lot of stasis and well thought out repercussions of relativistic interstellar travel at sublight speeds)

Anyway... Jessica and Iris (The AI) are two of the main characters of Perseus Gate... eventually Iris has to be pulled out of Jessica's head for handwavium AI that spend to much time bounded with a human start to merge with the human and frequently bad things happens.

Iris gets herself a body that is identical to Jessicas just a different color after trying out several dozen.. but she spent two decades seeing Jessica's face in the mirror.

Soo... queue unresolved sexual tension between those two... and the husband. Which is resolved by a threesome.. because..

Mind you it is tasteful... a soft of fade to black after a hot kiss sort of scene..

BUT GODDAMNIT IT IS HORNY AS FUCK... and that like.. one of dozens of holy shit this is horny without some how being explicit and raunchy.

Though all of the cover is.... pretty bad.. like perfectly portioned woman in skin tight suits holding guns in generic action poses..

Ignoring that... the AI human interactions... are really good... like... fuck.. and very enjoyable... and it is generally very well written and thought out... but I can't fucking shake the feeling that I'm reading some edited lewd rp logs.. because some the stuff is....

Damn this reads like a scene I did years ago..

I guess it is time for round two of sobbing tonight.

This time Aurora isn't around to hug me better... should not have tried to be social and gaming after breaking down once today. x.x
