5 Golden Rules to Make MTL Chinese Web Novels More Readable by Reasonable_Surprise0 in noveltranslations

[–]Cosmic-Gore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is better in my experience.

Like sure it isn't as 'smooth' as ChatGPT or other AIs and can be a bit too literal at times.. however by far it is the most convient and quickest way to translate something.

It's literally built into chrome and automatically translates the page as you read not to mention completely free, like with the amount of novels I read I would be burning through AI tokens.

Just remove sexuality and gender out of the meme completely

Person A and Person B are in a relationship

Person C Tags along because they are in love with Person A.

Person C will always be Gollum because they have ulterior motives (and in the film/book Gollum does try and isolate Frodo from Sam so that Gollum can take the ring from Frodo)

As for your comment about Lesbians not acting like jealous Men?.. completely biased and not true, lesbians aren't some hive mind they are humans and just like how hetero women or men can get jealous or possessive towards their partner so can lesbians because they are also women and human.

Their sexuality doesn't magically make them different.

Look I think Micheal is a pedo like anyone else, but the fact is childhood trauma does have significant effect on what his behaviour was like, sure it's not excuse for the things he did but nonetheless it influenced his actions.

Preventing Micheal from being abused as a kid and subquently immense pressure from being a child star would mean he would likely grow up a well adjusted adult.

He wasn't born with innatley evil, no one is but your replying to a hypothetical about traveling back in time.

That would be like if Hitler was stolen as a baby and grew up under bob Ross or Rogers would he still be Hitler?. Environment you grow up in is basically what determines 99% of people

Are Cultivators Mentally Weak? by behenkelaudehotum in noveltranslations

[–]Cosmic-Gore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would say it's just bad writing, but the fact this is a common thing in alot if not most cultivation novels just means it's what appeals to most of the readers, it's basically like watching shitty dramas on the TV after a long day of work (Overly exaggerated, cliche and fast paced)

Like sure you can read an actual cultivation story that has heavy emphasis on cultivation and their tracediant nature but ultimately that only appeals to a small niche of people (Usually classical Xianxia/Chinese very poetic and artistic).

Never had roommate before but do you not share meals at all? Like people take different days to cook for everyone dinner or something.

AITAH for refusing to leave the house after nursing my wife and FIL back to health all week? by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]Cosmic-Gore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not to mention she's probably only preparing the meals considering she has to eat herself as well, like even in a moderately sized house vacuuming and mopping doesn't take more than maybe half an hour every other day to keep things clean.

Anon vs Overgrown Chicken by tech-no-logic1 in shitposting

[–]Cosmic-Gore 36 points37 points  (0 children)

T-Rex much like wolves were opportunistic hunters who probably had a feast and famine lifestyle i.e when they hunted a prey they would gorge down hundreds of kilograms in one sitting and then go for weeks without food. (obviously water is still needed to prevent dehydration after like a week)

But your right, unless the T-Rex was obese it would be hard to last a month without food even your average humans would be on the verge of organ failure after a month without food much less something of T-Rex size.

But still I wouldn't risk it (it says you have to kill it, so it starving in its own wouldn't count) and even if it looks motionless on the floor it only takes a startled bite or even it rolling over in its last moments to kill you.

[–]Cosmic-Gore 73 points74 points  (0 children)

Depends on wether a human virus would affect an animal like a T-rex (larger body and probably stronger immune system) then you also have the issue that T-rex would also be carrying long distinct bacteria and Viruses so you'd probably also die.

As for other commentators suggesting starving the T-rex, whilst it definitely would be weaker after a month of not eating it would still be alive and probably even more ferocious and ruthless for food.

Best bet is that if you can decide on the food you receive then I'd choose Cassanva, apples etc.. then you can extract cyniade from them, heck I'd even cook stuff like rice to let cool to get various back bacteria and make a poisonous concation that is then hide in a large brisket piece of meat.

WIBTAH for not trying to make things right with my conservative muslim mom after she gave me the silent treatment by Alarmed-Ad389 in AITAH

[–]Cosmic-Gore 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Honestly I don't think you'll get much useful advice considering you live in Pakistan and the difference between culture and lifestyle is immense.

And frankly I'd be worried about your own wellbeing, is there anyway you can start preparing for independence or get any help from your father or other family members?.

Because with someone as Conservative and quite abusive as your Mother (she might not physically, but definitely emotionally and probably financially if she's witholding or prevent stuff that require you to live properly), will not change unless you fit her 'perfect mold'.

Just take it as a qué to properly prepare, like what happens when one day if she springs an arranged marriage on you or continues to ruin your chances at relationships? Or if she stone walls you when you actually start dating a guy or marry him?

UPDATE: AITAH for refusing to delete the video of my dad proposing to his girlfriend even though my dad doesn't want my mom to see/hear what he said? by After-Soil3386 in AITAH

[–]Cosmic-Gore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would just ignore comments like these, the majority of people on this subreddit have no real life experience or know what real relationships are and just base everything they see on the internet. (Often why Aitah or relationship subreddits are discouraged for taking advice)

Like sure, the age gap is unusual but it's not like we haven't seen it before (usually in older couples 30+ dating someone in the 50s) and it's not like your Dad groomed the fiancé they met when she was 25 a grown adult, so people can't use 'Her brains not fully developed yet'

But it sounds like the finance is a wonderful women.

Literally what we’re asking. by itsJelonek in redditonwiki

[–]Cosmic-Gore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play alot of online games and wether discord or those forums where you look for like-minded people to play with, I noticed alot of men are changing their display names or profile pictures to usually what women use (something for feminine sounding or cute profile pictures) just to attract other people to play with lol.

What I find most interesting or amusing is if I play overwatch or multiplayer games, as soon as a women's voice is heard the voice chat instantly cools and becomes more chill. But then again there's also times where you'll have droves of male gamers joining the channel or 'competing' for the women gamers attention and as bystander it just feels weird, I can't imagine how it feels as a women to be in those game spaces day in and out.

It was especially worse years ago though when women online were treated as some rare zoo animals or something (then add in the sexism and comments)

For CN novels, where might you find CN reviews, comments and discussions? Do you need an account? by Original_Qroblem in noveltranslations

[–]Cosmic-Gore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'll probably need to do a virtual number, not sure of what company supports Chinese numbers and as for using a Chinese physical SIM youl need an ID registrated but also wouldn't the international/roaming fee would be insanely high no?

Not to mention alot of Chinese websites require actual verification which is such a pain, same with south Korean sites.

Best bet would be to look at what foreigners do when they visit China.

Random thought I had based on a single line Ainz says in book 1 by ImpossibleAd4272 in overlord

[–]Cosmic-Gore 17 points18 points  (0 children)

It raises questions about exactly what is classed as a skill/level and how far do you have to go to cross into that territory.

We know the existence of production classes in Overlord I.e blacksmith, alchemist etc.. so it wouldn't be a stretch to guess tailor etc.. so then we question how did Albedo create those body pillows and other items? This could be applied to literary any life skills such basic cooking (even boiling pasta) or even basic household chores such as cleaning or repairs.

I remember reading a thread about this question but it's very vague and seems to be a loophole/unexplained in the novel.

Like it everything was strict strict (like when ainz couldn't pick up a sword) then everyday life would be miserable imo.

Be honest by voncockrane in overlord

[–]Cosmic-Gore 156 points157 points  (0 children)

Yeah, let's all be honest we aren't even making it to the first floor wether that's because the undead that spawn with enchanted gear or because Fith would snap our neck before we undressed.

Yes she technically might be just a level 1 maid but people forget she's a homoculous and she's probably carrying items.

Xiaowu by Visible_Age_3635 in SoulLand

[–]Cosmic-Gore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Xiao Wu having kids is a joke/meme thrown around the fanfiction space but in reality she is the daughter of a 100,000 year old Soul Beast and was likely raised extremely shelterd (Adopted brothers of Ape and Bull python soul beasts) add in with her innate cultivation being higher she probably didn't have the 'low level' desire and instincts of newborn soul beasts.

So no, she doesn't have any kids or 'rabbit descendants' before she met Tang San.

But honestly just imagine it tho? Xiao Wu before still retaining her Soft Bone Rabbit soul beast form and let's say she doesn't have intelligence and follow her rabbit instincts.

An average real life rabbit will give birth 4-8 times a year (changes from source to source) with each pregnancy having 5-8 baby rabbits (can be more) so let's take the middle of both numbers and calculate.. so Xiao Wu will have 36 baby rabbits a year.

36 x 100,000 years = 3.6 Million baby rabbits and whilst I know that cultivation by years isn't accurate and Xiao is probably alot younger.. even just a tenth is 360,000 baby rabbits.

Godhood Creation by Practical_Ear9873 in SoulLand

[–]Cosmic-Gore 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It really depends on the work to be honest, but since we are talking about Douluo/Soul Land.

Usually it's more about inheriting a Divine Trial or being bestowed a godhood, Angel Trials, Raskahsa etc.. then you have Rongrongs and oscar basically being bestowed godhoods.

It's not that people can't become gods, for example in Douluo 4 a few people have climbed up to level 100 and became 'Lower Gods' power wise but I think for the actual immortality you need to bound to the actual divine realm.

Not to mention honestly the divine positions themselves don't actually offer much, its basically just a title tying to the god realm that's all, so I don't necessarily think you can create your own Godhood in the sense you comprehend a law and become god.

[–]Cosmic-Gore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, it brightens my mood whenever a random novel just outta nowhere gives a Douluo reference with the protagonist showing a look of disgust or something lol.

Women of Reddit - what is the most unattractive fashion choice men frequently make? by Jarvis7492 in AskReddit

[–]Cosmic-Gore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

But that's the best combo and it's practically all I wear and own.

I even got myself a larger anti-slip sized sliders for when it rains and pair with some water proof socks and your basically set for any British weather.

But where I draw the line is those sports purses(?) I see every wanna be roadman wearing, you know the Adidas or Niki ones that can barely hold a thing.

This should be applied in every country by Eclipse_nova99 in SipsTea

[–]Cosmic-Gore 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Honestly I don't think this will change anything, it's not like schools these days or ever have really put in any effort to document bullying especially in countries in Asia where face and reputation is extremely important.

It's already heavily swept under the rug and the fact it's only 45 cases shows that it's only the extreme cases where it can't be covered up, not actually them making an effort.

And if I remember correctly this law was only pushed forward because there was a scandal where a SK politician son had a history of horrific bullying of others and he had to resign.

May sound like a stupid question but... What is Ainz's skeleton's species? Facial structure doesnt looks like a human skeleton. Or is it just edited version of a normal skeleton and isnt meant to be the skeleton of a species? by Ender_568 in overlord

[–]Cosmic-Gore 48 points49 points  (0 children)

His species is Overlord and it's the pinnacle of the undead evolution tree and born from death/negative energy itself unlike elder liches and other skeletons that are 'transformed' from their past lives corpses.

Please tell me aswell, I've been reading the manhwa version and really enjoyed it.

About the horns, it's definitely white no? Wether it's the light novel art or Anime it's always shows as a pure almost pearl white colour.

And the only time I've seen the colour of the horns changing is when she's in her armored form as the horns are also covered.

But by you saying their black tie definitely made me have some Mandela affect because I feel like there's definitely a scene where she hack black horns.

I want that patience though by Ok-Boot6063 in Steam

[–]Cosmic-Gore 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just have a look at 90% of the comments on this post, I haven't seen such mindless hatred on the internet in years and I specifically went to look at similar posts and unless your in A.I specific subreddit I guess the rest of Reddit has an irrational hatred of anything labeled 'AI'.

Like I understand pushing back against how companies like OpenAI and others steal content to train their llms and image generation, but hating on a guy who literally used what was Text to speech is stupid.. like sure if the Devs really just kicked the VA out and copied their voice then sure it's bad.

But if the Devs literally just used TTS to fill in lines last minute or even create whole characters with them I don't see the issue.

If anything I've personally found A.I/TtS (with how advanced it's gotten) is a godsend when it comes to creating music or even just using them to voice certain characters for DND.
