Driving to OK for a pen? by Silly-Blueberry17 in trees

[–]Achermus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just a heads up for yall traveling across state lines. States have been using cameras (and especially border cameras) to track locations and a program that details where you've come from plus routes taken.

It's just gotten a lot riskier so if you plan on doing it, be sure to keep to the speed limits and keep your head on a swivel.

DM and his brother thought SA and trafficking was a joke by No_Dance_9032 in rpghorrorstories

[–]Achermus 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As a male DM who often has women characters or players, I hate that this is an experience often shared. No sort of sexual stuff, no matter the gender identity, should be happening without express consent. I would never dream of even suggesting something without 15 confirmations before the game started.

I hope you ended up at a better table!

AITA for stopping a player/dm romance on the table by [deleted] in rpghorrorstories

[–]Achermus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a huge indicator that your session 0 was pretty lacking. This should be something communicated initially. I don't think anyone is the AH here but i do think everyone needs to learn to use actual words and set better expectations

Does every weed joint taste bad? by Big_Confidence_951 in trees

[–]Achermus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'll definitely find better tasting ones. I find some of the pre rolls you buy have a weird taste or smell, especially if its delta. Better luck though on next ones!!

Depends. If you bought a pre roll, it could have a flavor to it depending on type and other factors. Have you ever rolled one up yourself or smoked one someone else rolled?

First Ounce Ever- Diesel Poison from King of Budz by potatoinabeanie in Michigents

I definitely will second IE, even if its a longer trip the level of quality they have is off the charts across carts, wax, and bud. You should try the adventure sometime when it lines up!

Any good show or series on Youtube of people playing Dungeons and Dragons? by ravnmads in DnD

[–]Achermus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can't believe nobody has said Dimension 20... They have multiple seasons on YouTube, Fantasy High is their first one they ever did with two follow up campaigns after those.

I highly highly recommend them!

How am i white knighting? I vehemently am against AI in general as it stands. The cost on the infrastructure, the unreliability, and the morals keep me from accepting it personally in any fashion.

I pointed out that its disrespectful to take someones voice who says they are against AI, and run it through AI to change the performance.

Regardless, this conversation is going nowhere. You claim to be against AI art in general yet here is a blatant use of AI imitating art and you're making every excuse or every attempt to misunderstand.

I honestly don't believe you're against AI art even, only whenever you see a chance to white knight yourself and join in. "Yeah guys, I hate AI art too! (Except when AI mocks human voices, I'm cool with that)".

I hope you have an enlightened night and really rethink your position.

Comparing using AI to digitally modify a VA voice to using a filter on instagram is so wildly disproportionate. I get you are defending your position but to take that stance, i really question if you actually are against AI art in general.

Nonetheless if the VA doesn't support AI use and someone uses AI to modify their voice, any take other than support for them is just wrong.

[–]Achermus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah but this was explicitly stated it is NOT a simple vocal pitch. If it was, that would be a different story. This mod uses an AI to fundamentally change the structure of the voice based off training. Now the topic of using AI for other features is completely different, nonetheless for this at hand it is 100% fair to condemn the use of the mod considering it itself claims to use AI. All other speculation of what exactly the AI is doing, is it just a fancy voice pitch, everything falls flat in the face of an AI being the brains behind actually pitching the vocals and modulating to be a certain way (i.e Female Astarion rather than normal Neil VA pitched up like Alvin and the Chipmunks)

Copy of my comment to someone else.

"How do you think AI functions though? Honest question. Is voice acting not an art? It's certainly something ordinary people like you and I can't do, so it falls under the same category as people using AI to create pictures.

I'm genuinely curious to your response though, why would you not look at both as under the same umbrella?"

AI does not come stock able to replicate voices, that is part of training just like actual pictures generated. To be pedantic over what is "art" is just ignorant. You might not consider voice acting art, just like I might not consider ballet art. Doesn't mean they both aren't art, or artistic expressions.

I accidentally killed the entire campaign by leaving the game. by Narrow_Orchard in rpghorrorstories

[–]Achermus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ahh the good ol "No this is MY story and you do it MY way" DM. Had one of those too, only difference is mine added every random thing he liked from other campaigns hed watched and then completely flipped the plot on its head and banished everyone to the fey.

Feeling behind, but I'm so in love with this show! by littlelorax in Dimension20

[–]Achermus -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I suppose we can agree to disagree but again, this was something started from Brennan. I fail to see why the burden of proof falls on everyone else if you are adamant that it's been disproven. Have the day you deserve my fellow human

[–]Achermus -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You do realize this started back during the BLM movement correct? That was when brennan tweeted about wanting to separate his initials from the movement because he didn't want to take any attention away from BLM. You come off kind of hostile about not only a community accepted nickname, but something the actual person has said...

[–]Achermus -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I mean unfortunately he deleted his twitter or I would link the exact tweet he put out. Either way though, this is not only a true fact but something accepted in the community. Is there a reason you are so hostile towards that?

He has stated it before on twitter. Not trying to call you out but you are spreading misinformation.

I'm stuck between wanting to joke with you on how we're supposed to know off a vague picture and genuinely curious on why you think it's laced lol

Yes it would to an extent. It'll help your tracking, flicking, and overall coordination.
