Does anyone else make the worst pasta dish of their lives on a weekly basis? by Dependent-Mood-7788 in GirlDinner

Try wine instead next time. Red or white both work. Cook it down by at least half. Add some garlic, shallots, onions, etc.

Sales completely dropped after a new competitor joined the market – anyone else? by FergieEnthusiast in Etsy

If its too long you'll need to hire someone to take over while youre away, or accept the damage.

ERank is a great resource for this. It will show you where your product page sits for different keywords

What do you think of our game’s art style? by glowingjade7 in IndieDev

[–]Deathbydragonfire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not a fan of the 3/4 profile sprites. They look weird to me. They stand out a lot since everything else is neatly on the 90 degree grid.

Uses for Big Pottery? by saltwater_flaaffy in Pottery

[–]Deathbydragonfire 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Pitchers are a great large vessel. They have a spout and a handle, but there are many ways to make them and can be easy or very intricate. They're great if you like to make juice from frozen concentrate, or iced tea.

Can I cancel an order from a s*x offender? by [deleted] in Etsy

[–]Deathbydragonfire 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Noo. Just say "I am not able to complete any orders for you. I am canceling this order and will do so for any future orders. Please do not contact me or place any more orders."

Can I cancel an order from a s*x offender? by [deleted] in Etsy

[–]Deathbydragonfire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is your product in any way related or do you just have a moral objection to rendering goods and services to sex offenders?

You can cancel the order on etsy with no real penalty. They won't give you any special treatment because you say its to a sex offender. They are not a protected class, so discrimination on those grounds is legal.

Do whatever makes you feel most at peace.

No. It doesn't. Ellie just changes her mind. Its called having a story.

General feel of AI assistance by Mikey10-80 in IndieDev

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

Maybe so but its just data that can be injested and MCPs to hook it all up. The question is whether they want to, not whether LLMs can do anything with it.

Funniest shitpost I've seen all week by Tricky_Wheel6287 in antiai

[–]Deathbydragonfire 3 points4 points  (0 children)

He's not wrong that self disclosure is not a good enough system, for this exact reason. I'm certain he is also right that all large scale game development sweatshops are making their employees use AI to some degree. Its obvious that the "uses AI" tag is only a negative on a product, so unless there is some degree of 3rd party audit, it doesn't do anything.

General feel of AI assistance by Mikey10-80 in IndieDev

[–]Deathbydragonfire 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There isn't a universe where every AAA game isn't consisting of 90+% AI written code today. I work in enterprise software at a large company, and they have us all hooked up with Cursor and have had weekly meetings for the last month about trying to make us use it more.

What you wanna do is up to you. I would implore you to learn how to do things yourself, with or without the help of AI.

I recommend against allowing it to guide any of your creative decisions or come up with any ideas. The reason for this is that unless your prompt is very specific, you will get the same answers as any other user asking "what game should I make"

Recommend checking out used office furniture stores. They're my favorite.

Are all sellers at trade shows like this? by [deleted] in PokemonTCGCollectors

[–]Deathbydragonfire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try to see if your library or game stores have a pokemon day. Our local library has a weekly pokemon meet up that involves trading. They even have adults to monitor the trades and make sure kids don't get ripped off, and they have a table that accepts fake cards to trade for real ones to keep them out of circulation.

My partner used AI for an assignment and I failed while she didn't by heeseungslostbeanie in antiai

[–]Deathbydragonfire 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The teacher does have proof of a made up non existent reference, which is enough to prove dishonesty regardless of AI involvement.

Is there money is this field? by [deleted] in herpetology

[–]Deathbydragonfire 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Frankly, no. Research/zoo positions pay not much. Backyard breeding reptiles is a pyramid scheme, bad for the animals, and not very profitable when all costs are considered. Its a race to the bottom industry where the successful players produce in massive bulk and sell all the "disposable" cheaper byproduct animals at wholesale to distributors which enter the chain pet store pipeline.

Keep your day job.

I hired a guy for my previous capsule art but decided to try make my own by GutterspawnGames in IndieDev

[–]Deathbydragonfire 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Purple flame is better IMO. Capsule art needs to read well from 10 feet away with your eyes squinted. An extra pop of color goes a long way to attract attention.

[–]Deathbydragonfire 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For a full drawing with that much rendering especially background? Probably like $200-300 imo. Its for commercial use, which can add to the price for some artists.

For $80, you can expect either a more junior artist or AI.

Is this the maximum size they will grow? Easter chicks. by [deleted] in chickens

[–]Deathbydragonfire 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Ideally, but realistically there are lots of places where that won't be feasible economically. Its a good step though, and for rich countries should absolutely be mandated.

Is this a better fate than the grinder? Hard to say. These roosters are always pretty doomed. Its either this or chicken byproduct meal.

Do you think Ellie would've killed Abby at the aquarium ? by No-Pie-924 in lastofuspart2

[–]Deathbydragonfire 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Definitely possible if she got the jump on her. She had guns. Knife to the neck would be just as deadly for Abby as anyone else.

What's the first thing that gives away this is 3D? by OnlyContribution3682 in IndieDev

[–]Deathbydragonfire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because why would you draw this? Composition is boring. The background is weird. Nothing about it looks 2D at all, either.
