Yeah, if anything, they’re MORE important in a gritty game with death and racism. The further a campaign is likely to go, the more you need to know what’s “too far”.

I’ll be honest, I was using the official app. But when a bunch of people jumped ship, I saw how much cooler the new ship was and jumped with them. And I still like this ship.

I’m guessing it’s vegan? And pepper is the main filling?

I’m honestly pretty tired of “horny bard” jokes. Yes, bards are horny, but so is just about every other class. Why do you think a wizard spent hours learning how to charm people? Have you ever seen a paladin with chastity as one of their tenets? Warlocks are into magical findom. Monks have mastered the Open Palm with quick motions. And we all know what druids are getting up to.

Just gonna say it: paladins have the most perverse class features. Lay on hands, aura of courage, immunity to disease… “Give me a Con save against STI.” “Don’t worry, I brought (aura of) protection!”

I want to stress that a paladin also has a body count, and refuses to tell us which kind of body count that is.

Oh, yeah, the specific example listed was solved within roughly a month of the comic being posted. But the idea still applies, as seen with the twitter post above.

There’s an XKCD comic for that.

The post is about a seething GM putting their players who always start a fight against someone unassuming, but undefeatable. What exactly do you think the DM in the meme is trying to do?

Putting a “random” encounter that didn’t exist five minutes earlier in the path of your players, knowing it will be a TPK, is the DM version of murder hobo-ing. You’re ignoring the logic of the game and the feelings of the other players so you can have fun killing things. You’re not fixing the problem, you’re becoming part of it.

So, this seems like a very, VERY mild trip. Someone got into an argument, a mod stepped in and possibly made the wrong call. The sentence was light and life moves on. It’s a spice level of mayonaise.

Meanwhile, you immediately declare the mod a bully and relish in the opportunity to point out the injustice to this community. Those are some skewed priorities. Personally, I hope I never have content to post here, because I’d rather have reasonable mods than 10 seconds of clout.

The chatGPT one is the onion-est of the lot! Openly acknowledging your topic is bollocks in the very headline is such an onion thing to do!

I am willing to believe there is MASSIVE overlap between cryptobros and lemmy’s right-wing users.

It’s not dada. It’s too coherent to be dada, and it’s too shit to be anything else.

In order for something to be an artistic choice, it has to be a choice. It has to have meaning and intent. AI did not choose to put a glass there, it calculated that there was probably a glass there based on shitty reasoning. AI does not have the creative capacity to make art. It can only make images, and those images are shit.

You’ve thoroughly proven you can’t tell between slop and high art, so thank you for the compliment of my critique.

Surrealism is not nonsense. It has a purpose, even if that purpose is hard to tell. If you think Dali and AI slop is the same, you don’t understand either.

AI is like a housefire. Nobody wants it. Nobody needs it. It’s just a bad thing, and if someone sees it, they’re more than justified in being upset and trying to get rid of it. Don’t defend the fire, or you’ll be the first to burn.

So is toast.

I’ll stop saying it if it stops being true.

False. Porn is sexy, and I can’t possibly be aroused by an image of a woman spreading her cheeks when her fingers are attached to her arse with a continuous piece of flesh, giving her skin the same topography as a teapot.

Funny. Every time someone points out how god awful AI is, someone else comes along to say “It’s just a tool, and it’s good if someone can use it properly.” But nobody who uses it treats it like “just a tool.” They think it’s a workman they can claim the credit for, as if a hammer could replace the carpenter.

Plus, the only people good enough to fix the problems caused by this “tool” don’t need to use it in the first place.
