From our session 0, character creation is really neat. Everything is very modular and flavorful. I went in with a few choices for systems depending on how people wanted to approach the campaign and we chose Draw Steel because the group is made up of people who enjoy crunchy combat. I’ll try and remember to follow up after I’ve run a session

Oh 100% I’m DMing Draw Steel tomorrow night

I can feel the blank stare that this correction would elicit in the vast majority of people. To normies it’s like saying you eat fruit rounds instead of fruit loops.

I can’t speak for everyone, only for myself. My opposition to AI isn’t an opposition to the disembodied, out-of-context concept of AI. It’s an opposition to the context in which AI exists and of which it’s emblematic. The form that LLMs take in our society exists because of a prioritization of profit and ownership over workers. I can go more in depth about the specifics of that that if you’d like.

We can have a discussion about the efficacy of luddites and their strategies in working class liberation. I don’t disagree that they achieved little. I just don’t think that their methods failing means we should dismiss the anger they felt or similarly the anger people feel about AI. That’s the truly analogous part. When I rail against AI on Lemmy, I’m not advocating for individuals to start breaking into a smashing up data centers. That would be just as ineffective. But that expression of anger is still valid.

Ah, okay. I mean, they weren’t doing that for its own sake. It was about the impact the looms were having on workers. I’m not just a loom hater

Is this an assumption that my problem with AI art is its environmental impact followed by an insistence that I can’t be upset about that because the clothing industry is also bad for the environment and I wear clothes? Because if so that’s hilarious

Good

My favorite is the people who respond “Oh, you know, living the dream”. Only the most depressed people in the pits of despair answer like that

So your relationship is based exclusively on hanging out alone at each other’s places? Have you asked her why? Like does she have a reason for not liking those other things? I don’t know how you’d stay in long term contact with a person you didn’t live with under those conditions.

Removing Kier’s symbol changes the ethereal layout, which is pseudorandom. You can put anything with that symbolic signature in that spot and it would hold up the same.

Much more common to become a girl and then talk to yourself
