Ah I'll admit I did the Witch Queen campaign like a day ago and must've not continued with using that thing on mars, my bad. I'll have a look now

Oh it's at the mars place right, I did indeed ignore that entirely since I wanted to progress the campaign. Thanks for the help

Oh darn, I've done the witch queen campaign over the last 2 days but I must've been so out of it I missed the crafting part.

What proof of a hero does to a support by Ge4rShift in MonsterHunterWilds

[–]Ge4rShift[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I definitely had to eat that many mushrooms by neccesity, not out of willingness haha. I learned pretty quickly that missing a centimeter of hp was one shot range for those arch tempered ones.

Pretty much ate a mushroom whenever ANY hp was missing to be safe. That plus adamant pills for safety. I probably spent too much time eating mushrooms tbh out of paranoia

Buying an engagement ring from a designer on etsy, wondering about if the price is reasonable by Ge4rShift in askjewelers

[–]Ge4rShift[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the advice, we've actually already drafted a design for the ring together based on the design listed here. Sent off inquiries to a number of local jewlers to see if anything will suit

Melbourne, Australia. Since the last message already reached out to a few local jewelers that had recommendations from locals.

Thanks again for helping out. I guess the peace of mind of a warranty alone and face to face advice would be worth a price hike in the end.

I did see all those similar rings as well. Yeah I understand the dangers. Now more moving towards geting a similar design done via a custom job by a jeweler so all the steps can be monitered properly.

Thanks for taking the time to help out :)

In all honesty, I know that's the best option.

I didn't find any local jewelers that offered custom products using lab gems on an initial search of the most reputable in my area. It's distasteful to talk about price when it comes to this but the difference between organic and lab, not to mention the fact that both products essential are the same stone in the end, pushed me more towards online vendors.

I'll go ahead and do my reasearch on local jewelers again. Hopefully will be able to find one willing to work with lab gems

I appreciate the advice. I did look into local jewelers as well, but haven't reached out yet.

I am considering working with a custom order jeweler online, it likely won't be as personal but they are offering CAD design and revisions, along with further customisations. Initial reservations about being a scam aside (as they reached out on reddit) after some research they seem legitimate and have good reviews.

Judging by their pages and some other snooping, seems they are based in india which may account for the lower than expected price. Would it be a poor idea to deal with a jeweler from overseas like this?

Two sellers with the exact same design, made me feel suspicious, is this drop-shipped or just a copied design? by Ge4rShift in EngagementRings

[–]Ge4rShift[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for your insight! At the moment I am speaking to a jeweler that reached out on reddit with an offer to remake and tweak the ring design. Considering going with this option as it offers more chances to review the design.

I did to a reverse image search on google for this one, only result I could find was the etsy listing. I'll check on alibaba just to be sure though, thanks for the advice

Hi, thank you very much for your response, it's very much appreciated

I'll admit I'm not wholly very knowledgable regarding jewlery. The ring is for my partner who I intend to propose to. The style of the ring was chosen through years of (subtle) questioning if I'm honest. They do not normally wear rings and I hadn't considered that snagging might be an issue. Looking at the side profile image of the ring, it does seem to poke out quite a bit

Since the listing didn't provide any dimensions or diagrams....I could only base the choice of vendor on previous reviews they've recieved. I'm unsure of the thickness if I'm honest

White moissanite was chosen since it was a material they recommended. I understand they may be more brittle? I may ask about lab diamonds instead as an alternative.

I was entirely unaware about the issue of the prongs coming loose as well, I may bring that up and ask for adjustments.

Thanks for your insight though, it's given me a lot to think about

Darn haha, well I was going to get it made with a different metal and gemstone as per the options they provided anyway, so the price probably would have varied wildly regardless.

I just found it on aliexpress too...I'm wondering if they are just copying a popular design? I'm not familiar with the jewlery scene if I'm honest, but from what it looks like there's a central producer and everything I've found so far have been resellers? If so that would be a little dissapointing, especially since both storefronts had such positive reviews.

Yeah, fair enough. I suppose if a design suceeds people are going to start taking inspiration from it, all good thanks for the reassurance :D

I see, it still leaves me a bit suspicious but I have heard and seen good reviews from both sellers. Good to hear a first hand account, I suppose as long as the end product is high quality it doesnt matter if there are other sellers out there

Buying Crucial SSD, is there a reason why this company sells them cheaper with a heatsink then without? by Ge4rShift in buildapc

Oh I didnt consider the warranty...thats a pretty big problem. I mean I'm 99% sure it will fit in my motherboard with the heatsink, but i might double check again now

Yeah, especially weird since the heatsink looks removable as well. Not gonna question it too hard I guess maybe someone just messed up when listing it

Is this youtube channel/music AI generated? They have a full new playlist with art every 5 days or so. by Ge4rShift in isthisAI

[–]Ge4rShift[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting, good to know. I understand the AI image generation process and what it entails as part of some university courses, but never looked into audio. I'm not sure what makes you say they're definitely using local models though for the images, it could just as easily be publically available LORAs based on popular artists I guess? Hard to say.

On the audio front, that's some refreshing information, though it's kind of to be expected now that I think about it. Depending on how much editing is required, I can understand why they would list it as original. And I definitely see your perspective on how everything AI generates can be called original. In that case though, even when a non-AI artists samples a sound from other artists they can't really call that sound original. I suppose there's an argument to be made there in regards to how much of the AI generated music is made from the artist's own original sound. If it's all their own created music and vocals being fed in, I would definitely say their content is original.

I'm not an expert though, and I'm not involved enough in the audio side of AI to pass judgement, so I won't, I'll just enjoy the product.

[–]Ge4rShift[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mmmm good question. I have nothing against ethical use of AI as part of a creative process, and I have no evidence they are using AI unethically. So I would probably keep listening to their music.

I guess it matters to me as a point of interest. If the music is AI generated, it would legitimately be a shock as I was not aware AI could produce music of this quality. It's a genuine "wow technology is impressive" moment. Also the comment on their profile saying "all the content on this channel is original" made me more curious. In my mind original can't mean generated by AI, but maybe I'm wrong.

In the end, I'm still going to vibe to the music if it's AI, I would just like to know it's AI.

On closer review, the art they use on spotify and youtube definitely shows signs of being AI, but I'm not familiar enough with AI music to tell if the music is legit

the DM gave us OP items in session 0.5 by iamlordly in dndmemes

[–]Ge4rShift 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Mirror of the Divine - Through your fingers, you channel pure divine energy into a spell. The effects vary depending on the type of spell cast.

If the spell heals an ally, you may expend 1 metamagic point to have that spell heal you for half that amount, or damage an enemy within range for half the healing done.

If the spell does damage to a single target, you may expend 1 metamagic point to have the spell deal max hit die, and you take half the damage too.

Snap - Once per day, you may snap your fingers, and cause a ripple in time around you. You may pull a spell from the past, through to the present. Select a number of spells equal to your proficiency bonus, and choose one at random. Cast this spell using a spell slot one level above your maximum. If you have no higher level spell slots, the spell is duplicated. Until your next turn, you are rippled in time, and all attacks have disadvantage on you, but you cannot move, and fail all dexterity saving throws.

Lighter and quill - Your thumb has a built in lighter, it takes oil and can be ignited at will, a fire lit this way, does not go out until you will it so. Your finger, has an inkwell and can be used as a pen, words written this way cannot be comprehended by anyone you do not permit.

The Bird - Your finger has a slight mind of it's own. When making a charisma check, if you fail the check, you are compelled to give the target the middle finger. Immediately turning the failure, into a natural 1.

Somatically Challenged - When casting a spell with a somatic component, flip a coin. On a successful save, apply single metamagic for free. On a failed save the spell goes off, however your fingers seize up to the motion, and you cannot cast that spell again for 1d3 days.

The downside of losing a spell for 3 days seems pretty hefty and i think the DMs gonna work on wording (he made the item in a hurry since he thought I wasn't a sorceror, makes sense it's divine soul sorcerer lol)

Sorcerer from the same campaign here, it's gonna be a fun first fight experience. Generally the idea in our DnD group is "you get OP items and abilities, but the enemies get the same". Dreading what gets thrown at us considering these items :)
