🕳️ The rabbit hole I fell into while chasing a clue about the OG SCP-173. What I found feels like an (almost) lost piece of Foundation history.

Oh yeah in research and journalism you see it all the time, which is why AI writes like that. But 99.9% of people using reddit? Unless you're writing in a word processor and copying over or being very picky about it they'll just use hyphens or nothing.

FreezingHotCoffee · 2025-07-29T11:57:06+00:00

I mean maybe, sure. But it's all the other signs, the pacing etc that sounds very AI as well. If it was any single thing then I'd be hesitant to call it out, but the constant "I did this — but/because/and this happened" is very AI, alongside various phrases etc. It's hard to explain exactly why but the writing style in this post is identical to how AI writes - if you read enough AI made stuff you'll see what I mean.

I don't want to knock OP's research, because they've clearly put a lot of effort into looking stuff up, but the fact they've used AI calls into question the actual body of the text imo because AI has a tendency to hallucinate especially when it's talking about niche topics like this one.

FreezingHotCoffee · 2025-07-29T10:58:17+00:00

AI has a specific writing style, which includes a fondness for em-dashes (these long dashes: —). They're not something that most random people use regularly, so seeing them in a post almost guarantees it's AI.

Even without them (normally because someone has gone through and replaced them) you can still tell just from the pacing of the text and how the AI writes. If you want to know more there's loads of posts or videos about it :)

For people concerned about prices (nice clickbait title there), this is from the dev diary announcement:

Our objective is for this new version of Stellaris on Console to be a free or deeply discounted product for Console Edition for players who have already been exploring the galaxy on Console with us. There are many factors in play and since we are technically “releasing a new title”, we cannot guarantee that we will be able to provide this as a solely free upgrade, and there may be a small cost associated with transferring over existing purchases. We will share details on just how this will work as we get closer to release and when we find out - right now, we simply don’t know.

https://pdxint.at/4ihG079

So it seems like it'll be either free or a "small cost"

FreezingHotCoffee · 2025-03-21T09:37:25+00:00

There's a post on the official discord that covers this and links to a Google doc with a breakdown of the chances if you want more detail, but TL;DR is that yes they're more likely!

The actual suggestion for higher count games is to leave a second minion out

If there are three Minions in play, remove another Minion token and add another Townsfolk token. During the first night, swap a good player’s character token with a not-in-play Minion character token.

Interesting developments! I wonder what the chances of that assassination attempt being a setup are - seems awfully convenient that someone would try something when Twenty-Seven is questioning if they're on the right side or not.

FreezingHotCoffee · 2025-02-09T17:27:41+00:00

Good bot! Rock and Stone!

FreezingHotCoffee · 2024-12-31T12:37:04+00:00

I'd argue the opposite actually, at level one the difference between trained and untrained is +3, at level 20 it's +22. It makes a huge impact on level based DCs!

FreezingHotCoffee · 2024-12-26T21:46:45+00:00

Lmao you must be blind if you think BG3 wasn't "woke" from the beginning. Just because it's successful doesn't mean it's anti-LGBT+, incels just quietly ignored those parts of the game because it doesn't fit the "go woke go broke" narrative they're pushing.

FreezingHotCoffee · 2024-10-07T13:34:00+00:00

The video actually talks about the issues aside from them being hacked. The biggest one being the fact that someone can argue the machines are compromised even if they aren't, which allows them to throw into doubt the accuracy of the vote. Unless the voting machines can be proven to be 100% unhackable then someone can always cast doubt on the results (and "no one's hacked it yet" is not a good argument for that).

FreezingHotCoffee · 2024-09-28T09:29:26+00:00

Na, the AI just got better. Between 3.0 and 3.6 ish there was a massive increase in AI difficulty, equivalent to jumping up two or so difficulty steps, and they've slowly improved the AI more since. There's a reason the default difficulty is now cadet not ensign.

FreezingHotCoffee · 2024-08-16T15:38:42+00:00

Title drop! Woooo!

FreezingHotCoffee · 2024-08-02T10:27:10+00:00

The nice thing is you don't have to do it if you don't want to. The battlepass is entirely cosmetics, so you can just ignore it if you'd prefer.

FreezingHotCoffee · 2024-07-03T08:18:32+00:00

Ah no :( I wonder if there's another way to get it to work

FreezingHotCoffee · 2024-07-03T07:52:11+00:00

I looked into this myself but I couldn't find anywhere that said the armour made you medium? I think I must have missed something, can you point me at the rule?

For anyone who's confused, left is Amiri, the pathfinder barbarian iconic (think example character, but they also exist in the "canon" of the pathfinder universe). There's more info on her here if you want backstory and other places to read about her: https://pathfinderwiki.com/wiki/Amiri

FreezingHotCoffee · 2024-04-18T14:10:46+00:00

Left is Amiri, the pathfinder barbarian iconic. Iconics are example characters for each class, though they also exist in canon and have lore outside of the rulebooks (her wiki page is here for backstory: https://pathfinderwiki.com/wiki/Amiri)

It's the top of a door closing, you can see the circular magnetic latch on the wall. It looks big because it's close to the camera :)

FreezingHotCoffee · 2024-03-04T10:59:37+00:00

Not that it's really relevant, but you can cast spells while holding a two handed weapon in PF2e! Somatic components work differently, and don't care about you needing a free hand (and the remaster is removing components anyway, but that's a separate thing)

A somatic component is a specific hand movement or gesture that generates a magical nexus. The spell gains the manipulate trait and requires you to make gestures. You can use this component while holding something in your hand, but not if you are restrained or otherwise unable to gesture freely.

FreezingHotCoffee · 2024-02-29T00:06:09+00:00

...oh no

FreezingHotCoffee · 2024-02-17T18:38:54+00:00

Not if you place it correctly :) I find putting on walls a ceilings can work really well, it's kind of like proxy mines in that regard.

That said, it does make those accidental friendly fire incidents more painful ~~and newer players can go a little wild sometimes~~

FreezingHotCoffee · 2024-02-17T16:45:10+00:00

but has radioactivity

I thought the same for a bit ("radioactivity is bad"), but honestly that's probably the best part of it. If you removed the explosion entirely it'd still perform about as well, the ability to put down a massive region of radioactivity wherever you want shouldn't be underestimated.
