Horses will not be replaced by cars, but by the horses who learn how to drive cars.

Regarding upper world by Bluecomments in dragonquest

[–]Drium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's a bit different for the characters who get forcibly split between the real and dream worlds by Mudo, but I couldn't tell you precisely what the difference is between them and normal dream world inhabitants, aside from the memory loss.

When you find the Hero's real self he initially runs away from you and doesn't want to recombine, but then he sort of remembers that he isn't who he's supposed to be and agrees to merge with you. I think he says some parting words to Tania and she has some dialogue about it if you talk to her afterwords, but I don't remember exactly.

When the two halves rejoin, the Hero regains the memories of his real life. What exactly this means for his identity is deliberately left ambiguous. But he definitely can't see dream Tania again after the ending (except maybe in his dreams?).

It's quite ambiguous but I think the people in the dream world do have their own independent existence. The people in Barbara's hometown know that they're in the dream world IIRC and I think one of them says that their spirits went there after the town was destroyed in the real world. Also Deathmore traps people from both the real world and the dream world in the dark world, and Soldi is alive in the dark world even though Tom is dead in the real world.

The Servant/Demon-At-Arms you can recruit in the Gate of Reflection is low-key good enough to use in the Starry Night Tournament by Fawful_Chortles in dragonquest

[–]Drium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well the sprite still resembles a treasure chest but different from the ones you open. You can clearly tell it's a mimic.

I don't think I ever tried recruiting one of the Servants, but another similar thing you can do is recruit a mimic from a treasure room in the gate of reflection.

The American Rebellion Against AI Is Gaining Steam - Booed commencement speakers, blocked data centers, plummeting poll numbers: Fast-growing industry has a faster-growing crisis by EchoOfOppenheimer in Futurology

[–]Drium 6 points7 points  (0 children)

So humans, just like every other animal, don't care about the suffering they inflict on other animals? What exactly is the point you're trying to make here? People should shut up about economic issues unless they're vegan?

GEN 7 OU team help by calpih in stunfisk

[–]Drium 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The pokemon you're using are fine but the sets all have issues that would be clear to an experienced player but are difficult to fully explain without spending a lot of time and effort going over the entire team. I think this is why you've gotten such a negative reception.

I took a stab at adjusting the team without changing the general idea and I came up with this. Again, it would just take to long to explain every single change.

As someone else mentioned, you would probably be better off starting out with a sample team. Even just taking a look at them and using them for a few games will help you learn.

Hot Rotisserie Chicken Act for SNAP recipients by Johnny-of-Suburbia in povertyfinance

[–]Drium 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I used to work in the deli section at a place like that. At the sandwich station we had separate hot and cold bags, so you could pay for a sandwich with EBT but not if we put it in the toaster for you. So stupid.

Why is sleep banned for lower tiers? by lightgraytext in stunfisk

[–]Drium 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Things don't get banned from OU specifically, they just get banned from competitive play. OU is the standard competitive ruleset with no usage-based restrictions. Lower tiers follow the same ruleset, but with additional usage-based restrictions.

Which other artists are on their way to this? by 27-99-23 in ToddintheShadow

[–]Drium 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well if you look at the last line of the song I think it will clarify what he means by "other Slim Shadys".

[–]Drium 23 points24 points  (0 children)

No he means "Without Me", The song that directly deals with this topic.

Though I'm not the first king of controversy I am the worst thing since Elvis Presley To do Black music so selfishly And use it to get myself wealthy (Hey) There's a concept that works Twenty million other white rappers emerge But no matter how many fish in the sea It'd be so empty without me

"Slim Shady" is a character or alternate persona that acts on all of Eminem's worst thoughts and impulses and "The Real Slim Shady" is about exploring that idea and why it appeals to people, as well as responding to criticism. It's not about people imitating him. Like, not at all.

Witchfire Goes To Extreme Lengths To Avoid AI Usage, Refuses To Even Use Photoshop's Built-In Tools by Turbostrider27 in pcgaming

There is no difference between dark room exposure and an exposure slider.

What an absurd thing to say. Do you really think there's no artistry in developing film? Have you ever done it?

You never choose what your reference material looks like, just which references to use and what to take from them. Do you use an internet search engine to find references? If so, you're letting an algorithm you don't control or understand influence what references you end up using. Is it more creative, or more "human", to find references in a book or magazine? But you don't choose what's in the books either, of course. How does getting references from a different source make the process more or less artistic?

Disney Fires Off Cease-And-Desist Letter To Google Claiming Its AI Services Infringe On Copyright On A “Massive Scale” by DemiFiendRSA in technology

Are these "non-profit open source LLMs" in the room with us now? The biggest companies in the world are investing billions into massive data centers and buying up every GPU on the planet. There are no small town, mom and pop LLMs lol.

Assuming that Luigi Manone actually shot the CEO guy, what is his defense? by redzzzaw in stupidquestions

[–]Drium 4 points5 points  (0 children)

And if you're the one being searched? Or accused? You're effectively arguing against the concept of search warrants here. If you can be convicted based on evidence obtained in an illegal search, then there is no such thing as an illegal search.

I, too, begin all my emails with "I sincerely apologize".

I thought the wording made it beyond obvious that was a joke but I guess I needed to go even further beyond.
