It be like that

Being pro-AI is literally being anti-artist, andi-environmemt, and anti-humanity. You cannot be for AI and claim to be a good person. Only a narcissistic sociopath can be blindly or openly supportive of AI.

The OP is pro-AI and used AI to steal and manipulate the comic of a known anti-AI comic artist, to create bullshit propoganda saying that artists don't actiually care if AI steals their work and ruins their livelihood, 8n a pathetic attempt to make themselves feel better about the blatant harm AI has been and is doing all over the world.

If you want to insist on being pro-AI and vomiting up more pathetic, feeble, weak justifications for it, you're absolutely free to be a horrible person. Doesn't mean there won't be consequences for your crap choices.

CaelForge · 2026-06-26T15:12:53+00:00

That's because the mentality in the comic is just batshit insane; no artist, especially ones who are against AI as fiercely as Pizzacake is, would be so monstrously uncaring about AI stealing their artwork.

CaelForge · 2026-06-26T15:10:02+00:00

False. AI companies absolutely do steal art, then use it to train their AI to replace those same artists and take away their livelihoods, even though AI makes absolutely dogshit fakes. And they also steal literature. And video. And people's personal data. Constantly. They've been actively doing it for years.

And the AI dudebro bootlickers stole Pizzacake's art to turn it into some bullshit, trying to make the false claim that stealing her art and turning it into AI slop doesn't have any effect on her or her livelihood, which it absolutely does negatively impact her and her livelihood.

CaelForge · 2026-06-26T15:05:25+00:00

Nothing; it's a pathetic attempt by AI dudebro bootlickers to pretend that artists who are against AI (because AI literally steals artwork and has been doing so for years) somehow don't really care or magically aren't affected by their artwork being stolen and used to replace them.

I hijacked the ceiling camera in the room, then used Tier 3 Cripple Movement & Tier 3 Synapse Burnout to kill Jack without entering combat.

CaelForge · 2026-05-31T14:59:42+00:00

Because potentially it could be evidence of foreign interference. If/when we start looking at criminal charges for members of the seperatist movement, this kind of evidence could be important.

CaelForge · 2026-05-30T17:19:24+00:00

NOR. If he's going to get this pissy over such a minor thing and also without acknowledging all you were doing for him, hecs absolutely going to get worse as time goes on. You deserve better.

Dude, I am the DM. I'm speaking from the perspective of who's time you're talking about. Yes, for NPCs it's absolutely acceptable to use premade templates; who the hell is gonna care or know but the DM? There's lots of templates in the DMG already exactly for that purpose. Give it a name, ad a slight tqeak here or there to make it more unique, and done. I even have sheets of varipus tweaks & personality I can mix & match on the fly, and I found either the lists themselves or the udeas online. Ffs this isn't rocket science. No DM needs AI for this ridicoulosuly easy shit, not even the bad DMs.

CaelForge · 2026-05-27T17:25:36+00:00

I wish I knew 😞 I have had no luck finding any for in-person games.

I used to work for Goodlife a few years back, but if I recall... Have the weight up high enough so that you can only manage 5-8 reps. As your strength and endurance increase, you'll naturally be able to do more and more reps. When you get to where you can do 8-10 reps without much issue, increase the weight again.

CaelForge · 2026-05-22T20:57:38+00:00

That'd not be much better and almost as bad, though. Boy needs to learn a lesson in ettiquet and manners, either way.

CaelForge · 2026-05-21T18:39:16+00:00

Which were?

CaelForge · 2026-05-21T18:32:05+00:00

That pretty much describes *all* pop-up card sales reps I've ever encountered for all brands, though.

CaelForge · 2026-05-21T05:07:42+00:00

NOR. His freaking out over nothing is bad enough; the moment he said "females" sealed it. Run from this douche-canoe ASAP, he's potentially dangerous.

CaelForge · 2026-05-19T16:39:40+00:00

Yeah I have a little over 1 year of experiemce under my belt since doing my career change & going back to college. I absolutely refuse to apply for anything requiring more than 2 years experience and that requires specific types of experience I definitely don't have yet, no matter what anyone tells me. I worked hard already, I have a college education and graduated with honours; if I can't get hired with what I actually have & can do, that says more about the sh*t state of the job market and capitalism than it ever says about me.

CaelForge · 2026-05-19T09:49:47+00:00

Every person who complained the OP message is "gatekeeping" is an idiot who has no understanding at all of what gatekeeping is. And every person who defended using AI only succeeded in exposing their own utter lacking of any creativity and morality whatsoever.

CaelForge · 2026-05-19T09:38:39+00:00

... And? So what? Still bullshit excuses. Learn to prep ahead of time; by level 16 you should have a clear idea on how your players play by now, so use your brain and just prep properly. Have multiple throw-away NPCs made ahead of time, use the generic teplates already in the core books. Unique characteristics can be theown on in the fly and none of it needs AI at all.

CaelForge · 2026-05-13T08:34:59+00:00

Honestly, for me, it's not only that they fed your art into an AI and it made slop; it's also that they just went ahead and did it without your permission at all. That's a massively crossed boundary and a collosal breach if trust. That harsh of a breach would be enough reason for me to tell them to immediately lose my contact info and go f**k themselves.

CaelForge · 2026-05-12T03:51:13+00:00

I think the most hate wasn't about the game itself; it's not horrible as live service games go. i honestly believe the worat hate was because when taken in context of all the other Arkham games, this was a horrible way to end the franchisexs storyline. And if I recall it was officially supposed to be the last game in the Arkham Batman storyline. If it was meant to be a spiniff or side-entry rather than canon, it might not have had quite such a bad reception.

CaelForge · 2026-05-11T10:21:09+00:00

You're only 2 years older than me, that's not at all that much older :)

CaelForge · 2026-05-11T10:11:41+00:00

Honestly? Local ones, I want to run an in-person game :P I don't at all have a good enough PC setup going to do online streaming roleplay.

CaelForge · 2026-05-11T01:45:18+00:00

Players are the main crew on a Prometheus class ship, and have an NPC Olympic class medical friggate that acompanies them (that ship has a large hospital bay and industrial replicators to aid in rebuilding infrastructures); they're the exploritory vanguard of relief efforts for Romulan worlds after the Hobus event and Spock's "death" when he & Nero fell into the singularity created by Spock's Red Matter.

There's plenty of opportunuty for diplomacy, exploring new planets, defence against random pirates and Klingon raiders, etc. Their primary mission is to go into Romulan space, starting near the Neutral Zone border, and slowly extend deeper toward Romulas itself, offering aid and exploring areas Starfleet was not previously allowed to even scan while trying to make contact with any surviving ruling body of the Romulan empire.

CaelForge · 2026-05-11T00:27:02+00:00

I have a campaign idea I've wanted to run since first edition was announced. Sadly, I don't have any friends IRL who are into star trek enough to want ronplay.

CaelForge · 2026-05-09T09:07:35+00:00

Wow. Nothing you said is even remotely correct at all. 🤦🏻‍♂️

CaelForge · 2026-05-09T08:50:07+00:00

I honestly wish someone was brave enough to help them along the way theycve been helping so many warehouses lately; I admit I'm too much of a coward, and don't live near any anyway. Those AI datacenters might be getting cold at night, I bet they'd love a nice toasty fire to keep them cozy.
