With Slorado, now you have more choices for GPUs when basecalling @nanoporetech.com sequencing data. This is a work we collaborated on with AMD, led by
PhD candidate @bonson-wong.bsky.social (poster at #abacbs2025) and great to see being highlighted in the AMD blog: www.amd.com/en/blogs/202...

Cheers. I guess I just wanted a vibe check since it does take its own set up (gy filling) and can't happen early on, so it's a wincon only under the right conditions (which pretty much everything is). But if the gut feeling is 3, that's definitely fair.

This is great. The turn numbers help a lot.

For combos, I'm a big fan of the Sultai Arisen precon and have had a few wins from using Jarad to sac the Consuming Aberration. Would you consider this a 2 card combo in the spirit of brackets, given that there are other conditions needed for it to work?

Makes sense. I think I'm going to have a deeper look at geNomad. Even if it's not what I want for this project, for more day to day work it could be a good replacement for some of our standard tools.

Ah, nice. Yea, I tested a bunch of these tools a few years ago (agree on DeepVirFinder) but haven't kept up with the newer tools. I'm probably more interested in casting a wide net so might keep with VirSorter2 for now, but once I've curated the results I'll retest with geNomad for future reference.

How does geNomad compare with tools like VirSorter for detection? I've just kicked off a massive run with VirSorter2, aiming to identify a single virus family, but if your experience is that geNomad works better it would be easy to switch it.

I'd love to be added.

Ha ha, why not both? Yea, I was also really considering a mutagenist alchemist, coz that looks great in the remaster. But we already have an alchemist in the party and I didn't want to step on his toes.

I hadn't checked out how the remaster affected the alchemist dedication. That is a tempting alternative, I'll have to dig into it some more. Thanks for the insight!

I'm building a pistolero to replace a current PC, and leaning into the munitions crafter/machinist feats. Really interested to know how/why you worked alchemist in, coz I assume it's for something similar?

Of the things I've played so far, cleric. Although you only get 3 spells per rank, Divine Font means you don't feel compelled to pick heal/harm over and over again. It's such a great design choice to let you play the healer role while still maximizing flexibility.

I'd love to be added!

Python and bash for getting stuff up and running quickly. Rust for when I need speed, or if I just want a small binary to drop into a Nextflow pipeline.

Yea, it's got a great vibe. We're normally a Pathfinder group so having the slower, more RP-focused playstyle is really fun.

We've just given Delta Green a go. Very Call of Cthulhu-esque, and we're loving it so far!

In a game where it basically goes to plan, exhausted. But if it's a game where the party goes off the rails and I spend it trying to join the plot threads in unexpected ways to match what they're doing - completely jazzed.
