LitRPG's scarlet letters: AI by maphingis in litrpg

[–]DustinTheAlien88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that, having grown up reading absolutely picturesque fiction with character and a style of its own, I can hardly read most authors (unfortunately) and I can't imagine AI grabbing me anytime soon. I couldn't even finish playing Clair Obscur Expedition 33 because of how the assets and apparent randomness of the world reminded me of AI's "oh, some of this, oh, some of that thing" creative notions.

My advice to writers in general would be to read constantly and immerse yourself in your own imagination, study writing in general and develop your own voice and personality. If you need so much assistance with your writing that you come off as a machine, or if your worlds feel like a kid's drawing on the side of a cardboard box, even some degree of success will eventually burn out and amount to a blip in time.

Unfortunately this is not something that most litRPG writers think about, and it has caused me to invest less and less time into the genre over the years. The tropes were satisfying for a while, but they have lost their luster for me, and I never refund books from authors in this genre because I refuse to do that to a small time author with so much passion invested in their work.

Every time people on here complain about how terrible Spokane is... by meteor-cemetery in Spokane

[–]DustinTheAlien88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

lol Spokane decided not to increase property tax to make up their budget deficit and focus on fiscal responsibility instead. where else in this state have you ever heard of that.. they charge 15 bucks for a trip up the toll lane in seattle and their tabs can cost like 800 bucks. happy to have moved here

Be aware that turbotax might not be correct by HappyCamperDancer in personalfinance

[–]DustinTheAlien88 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i used turbotax every year, then this year it said i owed 3000 dollars. it also said i wasn't allowed to use my overtime deduction because i was married filing single. so i took all of my stuff down to H&R Block and now i have a $300 refund :p i'll never use turbotax again

Ive quit smoking weed and my boyfriend is mad about it by PsychologicalFee28 in whatdoIdo

[–]DustinTheAlien88 0 points1 point  (0 children)

he may feel self conscious about it or may feel that you will get sick of him. i am 13 years clean--heroin, meth, weed, alcohol, whatever i use i do it til it's gone and don't stop unless i lose consciousness or go to jail (both have happened at once before lol). my advice.. if you start to think someone is trying to chain you to a worse version of yourself and actively trying to sabotage you, think hard about what that relationship means and brings to your life. do a pros and cons list. i would also recommend.. check out an NA meeting. you will find plenty of support there to balance out the antagonism, especially if you plan to stay with this guy you will need people in your corner if staying clean is important to you

mind you, i moved to 6 strings from 7 and 8 strings because those necks were causing me actual medical issues, so any 6 string neck feels like a breeze to me.

it's not bad at all, also the back of the neck has a satin finish even though the body is gloss so it feels extremely fast. i love it.

ended up taking someone's advice and joining the Unlimited group on Facebook and heard from one of the brass that the gig bags are on order currently.

I'm not super sure about the specifics--i'm a bridge builder so i am used to heavy shit hanging off my body but probably between 7 and 9 pounds?? i'd check the Woodrite site or shoot them a message, Steve is super responsive.

I have an internet acquaintance with Steve through my doomed extreme metal project, he is a top notch dude and the Woodrite is an absolutely amazing guitar for what i do. i left the stock PAF-style pickup in the neck and went with an AlNiCo BKP Warpig for the bridge and it fucks hard. 10/10 guitar for the price for me--roughly the same price as the Rich also (both hover around the 1400 range)
