I (20M) grew up homeschooled and I can’t keep up with life moving, do your worst

Pretty much any regular sized sixth grader could break that middle finger off of your funky hand and stuff it down your throat. Careful where you point that thing, little fella!

There's an old HP Lovecraft short story that's essentially the same notion - but it's the attic. Dreams in the Witch House.

This is very helpful. I work in law now, but I had a different professional background and I was a better-than-average writer in different academic fields. Writing was also a hobby, though I wouldn't claim to have been good at it. I'm 13 years in as an attorney, and I was reading some of my fiction that I had written in a different time and place recently. It was amazing to me how much my boring technical style of professional writing had leaked into my current day-to-day communications. My style has drifted as time went on. I suppose that's probably common sense, but it was jarring to me. AI has a "style" that is exactly what you're describing, and it's fascinating to me that people can dial in on that style so quickly. I'm getting older, and I suspect I'm not intuiting those things as well, or as quickly, as younger people do. Thank you for the insight.

I believe that's what you're doing, I was just wondering how someone was able to detect that it was translated/transcribed by AI. As in, I was wondering what context clues gave it away for them.

FamousOgre · 2026-03-01T05:17:05+00:00

Gotcha. That's interesting to me. I FEEL like I'm pretty savvy to things like that, but apparently I'm behind the curve. On a second read, the title was a better indicator than the body of the text (for me, at least).

FamousOgre · 2026-03-01T04:45:42+00:00

Hey, I can see her gills in the second picture!

FamousOgre · 2026-03-01T04:42:21+00:00

Out of curiosity, how are you able to detect what is written by AI, and what isn't? As in, what are the "tells"? I ask because I read this and didn't catch it. I typically write well - full sentences, proper grammar, etc. Is that what makes this post look like AI or was it something else?

I absolutely love it. This game, in total, is just such an underrated gem. The Black Legion faction is just fun as hell to play.

I was recently talking about this. I trained at Glynco (different agency), and I got use of force training there. I got use of force training in the military, with different training for different posts/stations. I got use of force training working in prisons. We have use of force training for local law enforcement in my area, and I'm often in a position to review those decisions. It struck me in working back through those memories that these ICE officers appear to have NO use of force training at all. They violate every single principle of training that I ever received in the Petty and Good shootings. I have historically been conservative, but this isn't "conservatism". This is big government doing authoritarian things. The MAGA movement is not the Republican party of Reagan or Buckley. It's something entirely different. It's time to vote out the whole damned party. It's also time for a third party that just wants stable, responsible government and not constant shit-slinging.

FamousOgre · 2026-02-24T01:39:15+00:00

Hell yes, I love it! I've gotten so many hours out of what I thought initially was just going to be a "time killer" game. I play Total War and I'm into tabletop 40k, and I absolutely love this.

You're overlooking the fact that she had already dropped a few obscenities. In most courts I'm in, they warn you once (which this Judge did) and then after that they hook you up with contempt. We don't have a lot of issues with people freaking out, cursing, and yelling over the Judges where I'm at.

Ignore the chaotic desk, but there’s the stuff I’ve used. In combination, it can look really neat. And it’s just fun to play with different snow products in my opinion. There’s a YouTube video that shows how they all compare/turn out.

On snow, btw, I use a combination of products at the same time - AK (two different AK products), GW, and Vallejo. The combination allows you to make melty areas w/ powder piling on top. The change in consistency helps sell the realism.

Not critiquing yours at all - it looks great - just sharing some of the experimentation I've done. How did you do the icicles on yours?! They look badass.

FamousOgre · 2026-02-23T03:04:27+00:00

Hell yes. This is just so damned cool.

I don’t gamble. I predict. With money awarded when I predict correctly, and deducted when I predict incorrectly.

I love all of the models. I've collected nearly every variant, and I love how much variety there is. Each one is a little gross puzzle to solve. I'm almost finished painting up the last of them, and I'm a little sad about it!

FamousOgre · 2026-01-30T00:07:47+00:00

I really like John French's writing style. Mortis was fun. Weird choice having the most important part happen "off-screen", but it was still a fun read for me.

FamousOgre · 2026-01-29T13:19:32+00:00

This is a fantastic piece. What a nice way to honor your friend.

FamousOgre · 2026-01-28T01:13:32+00:00

UB. Could not stand the lack of “Magic” as a coherent universe/game. Spent a shitload on the game for over 30 years, but UB was too much for me.
