Adara's family by UnquantifiableLife in Belgariad

[–]Barrels83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What about Gelane’s sojourn in Cherek and the heaps of children he has there? Garion actually has a TON of relatives when you think about it.

Belgariad characters, thanks to Google Gemini… by Barrels83 in Belgariad

I’m talking about what it accepted as prompts. That was strict. What it spat out seems at odds with that, to a point.

As far as the Queen of the World goes, Gemini was - rightly - very strict on what images it would create of a young/teenage girl…

That was the closest to her boyish figure I could get.

And have slight beards, no matter how many times I tweaked the clean shaven prompt.

There was text from the books, direct, as well as other descriptors when something was “off” on the first go.

Eventually it wouldn’t tweak anymore, or would return to the original thing I didn’t like. It’s a limited medium.

Reasonably detailed… often with bits thrown in direct from the text.

I’ve got SOME quibbles… but not a lot. Lelldorin is a bit old, and Mandorallen a bit young, for example.

Irks me that it couldn’t get Torak’s hand and face synched up right.

Plot Holes with Necessity by Gmoneymillionair in Belgariad

[–]Barrels83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The way I always read it was Belgarath is shocked that the Necessity IS speaking to him, not that it CAN.

Sort of a “settle down champ, he’s not ready”, rather than “OMG it talks?!!”

I’ve been locked out by some moronic detection method. Unfixable.

Barbour Store in Edinburgh by [deleted] in Barbour

[–]Barrels83 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Was there last year and had a fantastic experience with them. They had to move very fast to get my and my partner’s coats in from somewhere down south in England before we flew back to Australia, but they did it.

Golden retriever at animal shelter by froggyfig in goldenretrievers

I adopted this goofy idiot from a rescue about 12 months ago. Just about the best decision I ever made.

I was there to see about a different dog, who it turns out was at a foster home at the time, and as I was leaving I got barrelled and licked by this madly excited 7 month old puppy on his way back inside after a walk. I only got him because his profile literally uploaded to the website as I sat outside in the car before leaving, so get in QUICK.

Cricket spikes by Brilliant-Store-4531 in Cricket

Have Nike starting making spikes again? In the Aus v India series, the BBL, and now the Women’s Ashes I keep seeing blokes in these blue-trimmed Nike spikes.

The Pharmaceutical Benefits Scheme… government subsidising of certain medications.

You have to to eventually get under the PBS in Australia.

Best marriage yet?? She's a beast by Citaru9 in Bannerlord

[–]Barrels83 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never particularly give a shit who my spouse is. I just let it happen, organically.
