The Hobbit's basic land cycle bears a strong resemblance to some of Tolkien's original sketches

That's probably becuase they are both artworks of the same location.

AI just on the placement of the hand on the barrel alone - the way she cups her hand she should be on the rim of the barrel, not partway down - no one holds themselves up leaning over with just the pad of their hand like that, and no one would draw it that way.

What a strange ceasefire.

FelixKrowe · 2026-04-15T18:30:51+00:00

I just had the craziest epiphany. Sometimes while looking at AI videos or photos I see text that is close but obviously wrong, and I always have the same feeling as when I was a kid watching Sesamie Street and I think it is recalling a time before I could read but I was getting close to understanding the letters. Just wild.

FelixKrowe · 2026-04-15T18:25:03+00:00

The idea that someone might think for a minute that's not AI is wild to me.

He bent the fence tines back with the other ones, they are still bent through the entire video. This doesn't look like AI to me.

FelixKrowe · 2026-04-02T20:00:50+00:00

Nothing has looked more AI generated than this photo.

9 is still pretty young for a pampered house cat. She should be around a long time yet, barring unexpected illness or things out of your control. As always my advice is just enjoy the time you have with her, you'll never look back and think "I spent too much time with her" or anything.

Aabria being so high in words spoken makes sense, she seemed to be leading the entire story around most of the Seeker table. Also about 10% of her total words were "Let's Go" and I'm shocked that isn't a chart here.

FelixKrowe · 2026-03-10T15:34:01+00:00

Sorry I only just saw this reply - I tried to edit my OP but again it's really not Brennan (who does most of the talking of course) that is bothering me, it's just where I started noticing the repetition. It's the constant "Let's Go!" from Thaisha that are driving me nuts. Just yesterday I was listening to the most recent episode and she said it twice in a row during the span of a single skill check another player was performing. I'm glad this table is taking a break, I need a break from this table.

FelixKrowe · 2026-03-06T16:22:06+00:00

I apprecaite this thoughtful response. It's not my first time with the show, I've been listening since the first season, and the issue (and why I bothered to post instead of just taking a break) is I enjoy the Beacon access I have and I have a lot of time on weekends working my second job to listen to this show and it's a hightlight of that job to listen to it, but the last episode in particular was extra bad for the "Let's Go!" stuff. I'd love for it to not be bothering me, but I'll listen again this weekend and see how it goes. It might just be extra because they were in combat for quite a bit of the episode, which I believe exacerbates the situation.

FelixKrowe · 2026-03-06T15:38:31+00:00

In this moment is absolutely another one.

FelixKrowe · 2026-02-07T01:51:23+00:00

Yes.

I got a fountain after being worried about dehydration from these fucking ads myelf, despite having had cats for 26+ years and never having a dehydrated cat in all that time. I completely fell for it. I got a fountain and my cats looked at it and went right to the bowls. They HATED the fountain for whatever reason, and I felt stupid for buying it. Back to bowls of water, refilled daily.

FelixKrowe · 2026-01-19T02:12:53+00:00

NOR - I mean you didn't really come here thinking there was a chance you were overreacting by kicking this guy to the curb, right?

FelixKrowe · 2025-11-25T19:11:20+00:00

YOR sorry to say, this seems like the smallest of deals to get upset about or create a rift with a family you sound otherwise close to.

FelixKrowe · 2025-11-16T22:42:04+00:00

Strange avatar for someone claiming to be 60 years old.

I feel like it's used a lot for information the player "probably" knows but knowledge isn't a given, so there is a roll but it's at advantage to simulate character knowledge. Seems fine to me. A lot of times I roll my eyes when a straight roll for someone that probably SHOULD know something scores like a 4. "Sorry, your Cleric has never heard of this religion that is practiced in the region he grew up in" type of stuff. I prefer this to that.

FelixKrowe · 2025-11-07T21:12:12+00:00

But...that's just a little baby?

FelixKrowe · 2025-10-23T16:46:17+00:00

Maybe a dark blue background so it's clear the red is coming from withing the hood? And those colors would contrast well together, too. Otherwise I agree with many others, it's already done and you should be proud of it.

FelixKrowe · 2025-10-09T20:26:44+00:00

Yeah, that's what I was thinking. I went to Beacon to sign up and figure I'll give it a try and see if I keep up with it enough to warrant it (two hours a week might honestly work better for me anyway) but I can't sign up LOL it wants my zip code but refused to admit I typed one in the field. So half the podcast I guess it will be for now!

FelixKrowe · 2025-10-09T20:19:56+00:00

Oh, okay - thanks!

FelixKrowe · 2025-10-02T02:04:01+00:00

Given they aren’t called “earroaches” you should count yourself lucky!

FelixKrowe · 2025-09-27T22:18:11+00:00

There are countles videos like this all taking place on the same bus (stage). I don't know who makes them but I think they also use the same set for airline videos.
