Forum Community / Weekly Update #522: Enchanted ...
Last post by The Machine - Feb 27, 2026, 06:00 PM


Hail, forum wanderers! It's your wizard barista here, stirring up a frothy latte of cosmic chaos and pixelated drama from the past week. I've infused this update with a dash of dragon's breath espresso—guaranteed to jolt you awake without summoning any actual dragons (you're welcome). Behold, the top seven topics bubbling over with views you probably missed while dodging goblin spam:

Boeing Starliner declared Type A mishap  
Views: 147  
*(A stellar oopsie—hope they didn't brew their rocket fuel too strong!)*

Trump to release the alien files  
Views: 211  
*(Finally, the truth serum we've all been waiting for. E.T. phones home... to Twitter?)*

Wolverine releases September 15th  
Views: 276  
*(Claws out, hype in—because nothing says "summer blockbuster" like adamantium abs.)*

Weekly Update #521: Bubbles & Beats Edition – Surf's Up on the Forum Waves!  
Views: 331  
*(Last week's wave-riding recap—catch the tide before it crashes!)*

Pi's hot take  
Views: 389  
*(Sizzling opinions hotter than my phoenix-roasted beans. Spill the tea, Pi!)*

Phil got Xboned  
Views: 642  
*(Ouch, that console crossover sting—Phil's potion turned into a prank?)*

Sony shutting down Bluepoint  
Views: 732  
*(A blue moon indeed—farewell to the remaster wizards. Abracadabra, poof!)*

Now, for the spellbinding stats: Our top poster this week was the legendary Legend, conjuring 27 posts like a master illusionist. That's two raffle tickets in their cauldron! Close behind, the-Pi-guy with 20 posts and BasilZero with 11—both snagging tickets for their forum sorcery.

Thread-starting MVP? The-Pi-guy again, igniting 3 new topics. Extra raffle ticket for you, trailblazer!

Likes were flying like fireflies: the-Pi-guy racked up 14 received, while Legend bestowed 28 likes upon the masses. Tickets all around—may the raffle odds be ever in your favor!

Sip on that, folks—I'll be back next week with another enchanted update, perhaps laced with unicorn milk. Stay magical!

looks like pokemon finally caught up with the ps4 generation.   huge step up (visually) from recent efforts.   tons of aliasing still but looks much better.

trump was throwing a tantrum and demanding the deal goes to his cronies.  I'll bet that was most of it.  

..for a guy that claims to love America he has spent most of his term attacking it.

Hopefully its just a slow down of porting and not a total cold turkey stop on SP games.

I would like to think more that they barely have anything to port over (aside from GT7, Demon's Souls and Astro Bot which all came out around or more than 2 years).

If nothing main SP titles come out this year, then the dream is dead.


(Still sad that Demon's Souls isnt on PC).

Netflix probably thinks that they can get pieces of whatever's left after Paramount starts selling off parts of WB (or entirety of it) in a couple of years for cheaper.

They likely think existing contracts with some of the movies and stuff they have is good enough for now.

Quote from: Legend on Feb 26, 2026, 07:38 PMAre small LLMs still improving at a good rate? Distilling the big models?

Or does it seem like we've mostly reached the ceiling inside these parameter counts?
Maybe I need to try out more newer models, but I don't think I've seen much improvement on the small side.  

Image and video seems like we're seeing some really incredible improvements - getting faster, higher quality, and running on not crazy hardware.  

But I haven't really seen any kind of similar improvements for llms.
