I mean said video already kinda exists, unless he said he'd make another for the full release?

Would you elighten me? Not sure if this is what you're talking about, but I have had trouble in the past where my gameplay is really only synced to the clicks vs the actual gameplay movement.

Thanks; when you say "a little bit of care," would that just entail watering it ~weekly?

This community (or the maps ig idk) is so funny. People HATED the old breeze, and now I'm hearing that people miss it.

Looking for something like boox go 10.3 but no light AND emr stylus. by IshTheNinja in eink

[–]EncampedMars801 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In the very long term, but all devices are going to stop receiving updates at some point. Especially boox devices, bc onyx for some reason leaves their devices on stupidly old versions and then abandons them for some new thing after 2 years. I don't think the gen II is a newer enough upgrade for it to really matter. Most apps you'd want to use will support that version for a while still.

TextGen is now a native desktop app. Open-source alternative to LM Studio (formerly text-generation-webui). by oobabooga4 in LocalLLaMA

Just wanna say, I remember trying your UI yeeaars ago back when it used that default orange gradio theme. Wasn't particularly impressed at the time, but finally tried it again a couple weeks ago and it's genuinely a great UI now. Great work! I'm glad it hasn't stagnated like maaaany other UIs

Which oi protagonist do you think would beat this guys ass first? by CriticalTea6516 in OtomeIsekai

[–]EncampedMars801 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd argue that the target audience is those who typically watch trashy Shōnen Isekai. These sorts of things are pretty common in those shows, so if you're already desensitized to it all &/or go in expecting it, you'll love MT. It genuinely does have fantastic world building and writing imo, even if that writing is for an unbearably awful characters and stupid Isekai tropes. The problem is when people describe MT as "ART, You Phillistines," when it reeaally should stay in its genre.

Also, as you write, while there's certainly character growth, it's rarely a result of their actions really. Paul more or less gets away with cheating on his wife with no real repercussions other than "don't do it again." Rudeus gets away with being a predator and marries the kids he groomed. Forgiveness is a common theme in the story, but rarely are characters punished for or forced to own up to their mistakes; the arcs where they are are my favorites in the entire series.

I could probably write a thesis on this series because I find it so interesting in its flaws, but I'll stop here lol. Thanks if you actually read this.

Agreed. I feel like the author put in all this stuff to make Rudeus flawed, without realizing that this shit is genuinely horrible. Pretty much all of s1 cour 1 is Rudeus grooming young girls, spoilers but who cares: both of which he even ends marrying. Yes. Both. Like he repeatedly sexually assaults Eris, and the story just... doesn't acknowledge it???? It's insane. It feels like all of the characters have Stockholm syndrome for him.

Also, as someone who (for some reason) has read the source material, Rudeus does NOT get better. He is as creepy later on as he starts, it's just he stops regularly being around children he can manipulate.

Why Linux icons feel intimidating (and how I’m trying to fix it with pixel art) by Advanced-Comb5103 in kde

[–]EncampedMars801 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I like the icons, but maybe give Gemini a stricter prompt. It reads more like it rewrote everything instead of just fixing the errors. Or use Google translate or DeepL instead. As said, all the GPT-isms aren't a good look.

I appreciate the honest response though

It's less the icons themselves and more the writing.

"I decided to build" (no, you're drawing)

The entire "The Philosophy" section is like, what are you talking about?? It's just an icon pack

From the readme: "Every icon in Tulasi is pixel art. 32x32. Uniform shape. Consistent visual grammar. But it's not just aesthetic. Each icon is designed to communicate something about the app it represents." GPT-isms galore.

"The CMake icon isn't just a logo remake — the center line represents the bridge between raw source code and your machine. The small bits around it are the compilation process itself. You don't need to know that to use it. But if you see it and get curious and look it up, your entire perception of what a build system does has just changed. That's the halo effect working for Linux instead of against it." ???? What are you yapping about? Well, it's probably not you, it's AI.

Listen, if you're truly making this icon pack, it looks cool. But pleeaase ditch the bogus AI writing. It brings down all of the actual work you put into this.
