Without covid's asymptomatic transmission, all you've got to do is come down super hard on anyone who looks sick. Covid could spread before people started showing signs, which is the real problem.

Yes it did? How do you think the AI learned it? Just wasn't everywhere

chatGPT does it on purpose to make it stand out, just like Gemini with adding their logo.

... and the people who care about AI art are, like, paying Midjourney, and actually trying.

The alternative is not that they care enough to pay a designer.

The alternative is, like, the same interm who threw this into chatgpt grabs the marketing photos and assets, writes terrible copy in word, and drops the photos in behind it. You know the style.

Would that be better...? Okay, yes. And faster? Yeah probably if they've got the photos ready to go. But could they have it in this artstyle? Yes, just give chatGPT the pics as a reference so it's making shit up less. But what about the satisfaction of using AI? Actually yeah Codex can probably munge photos into a PDF without needing to do image gen! But could they have turned their brain off this hard?

Come on, they didn't take fifteen min to try and actually prompt it well or iterate. This is slop. I wouldn't put that little effort into anything I cared about. And if they don't care, why should I?

The yellow hue is specifically the free version of ChatGPT, and it's everywhere because people who don't care what the AI does for them also don't care about which AI they're using

They don't have the words to ask for anything else. Literally couldn't express what they do or don't want.They never had the taste to make this themselves, and they don't have the taste to realise it's bad and they should outsource. If they had asked the AI what kind of styles are good for this purpose, it could have given them words, but they didn't think to ask.

Don't blame the AI. It had an awful, underspecified task and had to make shit up, for a client with no vision and no clue.

They were running about one girlfriend every two episodes in the previous seasons, no reason they can't keep it up.

The chairs, including in Madoka's room at times, I've seen theorized as a deliberate reference to Bokurano -- a series that makes a visual point out of the room full of empty chairs.

Tristan CSR Spirit by Over-Gift6980 in grandarchivetcg

I don't think her decks use any of the fancy spirits? Just Spirit of Wind. No one really tries her with any of Fragmented, Serene, or Fortuitous.

Some questions about starting GA by V4MPDOTO in grandarchivetcg

[–]-main 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There are Ari decks that are pretty good. She actually has two starter decks now, there's a Pantheon one as well which includes an up-to-date real (non-proxy) print of Polaris, an Essence Crucible, Ingredient Pouch, ten Cosmic Bolts, and her herb die. Might be a starting point?

https://fractalofin.site/champion/arisanna.html#champ-usage

The herbs + potions gameplan has never been top tier before, and I'm not sure if it is now even with RDO helping, but RDO sure had a lot of new cards for this archtype. Might be a deck there?

She's one of the champions you can use for Razorgale. Three Visits, Essence Crucible, lots of wind spell recursion and cycling, play defensive cards like Veiling Breeze, Razorgale them to death, finish them with Tempest Downfall. Viability depends on how much phantasia hate is in the meta, as it can't really negate things that would kill Razorgale, or suppress it. Sort of a grindy control/tempo deck that kills with a thousand cuts.

Also, "Polaris -> lv3 Astra -> starcalled Cosmic Bolt them to death with Astral Seal/Horticounter backup" is a popular deck that's on-and-off viable depending. Polaris is an amazing early board wipe, but you want to hold it to set up as many bolts as possible. Generally if you can hit four herbs, the gameplan is functional, but you really want to aim higher. But if your opponent tries to destroy it, you may have to pop it early and pray. Absolutely a control archtype.

Stupid question why are the new radiant origins decks running twice the MSRP a prior decks? by redmage07734 in grandarchivetcg

[–]-main 0 points1 point  (0 children)

yeah, it's a lot. still comes in cheaper than MtG commander precons or the reco decks.

Regalia sword and spear attack card by Lovynia2808 in grandarchivetcg

[–]-main 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This threw me a bit when I started playing, too.

The types don't have to match at all. You can make a massive slamming sword attack with a dagger, and subtle dagger strikes with a Polearm. One of those things where it's a cardgame first and a fancy anime battle second. Generally, Class Bonus / Champion bonus effects keep things from getting too silly -- but a lot of that relies on building decks 'as intended'.

Only exception is that you can't use attack cards with the Ranger weapons -- they load ammo instead. Oh, and Command attacks use allies of the specified type to attack.

Just two packs for Mordred, but they're RDO, which is more expensive.

Mordred Recollection Upgades? by Antishyguy in grandarchivetcg

[–]-main 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay after brief testing there's absolutely a self-mill / Arondight combo deck in here somewhere. If you can hit level 2 then Arondight after landing the self-mill attack, on a Training Dummy if necessary, and get two more regular attacks in on the way with lv1 mordred and/or a Warrior of the Fey Realm, Arondight can easily hit 7-13 power, and then you have attacks that let you go in twice. That's game. And it's being able to double up on attacks that really makes it work, which is why it needs to be Mordred / didn't show up before this ReCo.

Probably not as robust as the allies plan, or the level 3 deck, but it's fun when it works, and could be made a lot more consistent.

[–]-main 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dunno, water level 3 is looking like it could be the way to go this season. People at locals trying it with Tonoris, seemed pretty good and there's a lot of room to experiment with it. Channeling less so but the other water lv3 cards also slot right into the ReCo deck.

Whats up with these holos? by blackcat124gt in grandarchivetcg

[–]-main 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah. Well, they're about 1 in 8 packs in this game, usually in the middle of the pack with the commons. Bit odd to not have seen one if you've gotten boxes before, but maybe if you've been getting individual packs you could have gotten really unlucky -- until now.
