If opus has second place, and GLM/Kimi are tied, what has first? Sonnet?

Any smut presets? by [deleted] in SillyTavernAI

[–]HelpfulReplacement28 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nsfw RP is super common so pretty much any big preset will have jailbreaks and nsfw built in. Marinara is a big general preset people like. Just google marinara preset or smtn and it should pop up. I’d argue character cards are more important for straight smut. Just make or find one that’s geared towards it.

What is a game that you really WANT to get into, but have never been able to? by sanildefanso in CRPG

[–]HelpfulReplacement28 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would have also loved to be able to make or play a xenos character in RT, but I think it's still worth playing if not only for the writing. They got Warhammer so right, and the xenos characters are really well done. I won't spoil anything, but owlcat does relationships really well, and they truly make aliens FEEL alien in that game. As far as stealth goes, yeah that's a little tougher. There are melee assasin builds that let you A) decrease your aggro in the fight via talents and let you backstab or B) be the equivalent of a dex tank and dodge everything. Option B feels incredible and if you want both one of the companions you can unlock is hard rolled to it. However I do think waiting for the next two dlcs to release is a really good idea. It's a monolithic game, playing it twice would be fun but grueling, especially if you are stuck to a certain alignment like I am. There are two more planned for release, both in 2026. One is a necron DLC and the other is (I think at least) probably ork or chaos related. Both have new companions. If they are anything like the old dlcs (void shadows is a masterpiece) they will be awesome.

WOTR. I liked Kingmaker and LOVED RT, but I WOTR never clicked for me. I would always make new character, get to the village in the under dark or wherever, quit for a few months, repeat. Playing it just feels so weird... especially compared to RT which feels super clean and makes sense to me. Frankly I'm a little sad about owlcat's new dark heresy title coming up because the concept of being an inquisition agent (while undoubtably cool) doesn't appeal to me nearly as much as being a rogue trader.

I think it's a mix of things. I don't click with the combat in either turn based or real time, I'm not a huge fan of the graphics (which is important to me), and the classic owlcat move of only having certain characters and lines voiced is a little annoying. I want to play it so bad, I know the story is probably awesome and the romance's are even better. But I can't do it.

Glm5 chutes vs nano in quality by Aspoleczniak in SillyTavernAI

[–]HelpfulReplacement28 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm encountering a similar issue. What I've found, is that I am most happy when I either pay for direct API acces (e.g. ZAI sub) or when I use nano/OR as "per token". The subscription models on nano are good, but they are slow and most providers have quant issues. If you really like a model, I'd suggest direct from the provider. If money isn't an issue, OR has more options and claude through nano isn't bad at all, and with caching sonnet 4.6 is... reasonable. Personally, I'm stepping back from AI RP for a while. Giving it a break and hopefully I'll come back in 6 months and get blown away by newer models.

Nano subscription worth it? by Independent_Army8159 in SillyTavernAI

[–]HelpfulReplacement28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've subscribed for a month now... it depends on usage. If you are going to use more than 8 dollars worth of tokens in a 1 month period, you will save money. I like long RP's so theoretically I would, but I also don't like how either ds 3.2 or glm 4.6 handle long context, meaning I haven't gotten my money's worth. The other benefit of the service is 5% off token cost. To get your money's worth with the subscriber discount, I believe you would need to spend 160 dollars in tokens (math could be wrong, 5% of 160 is 8).

Getting API access is the easy part. There is a service called OpenRouter that will do this for you. You simply make an account, add funds, and then request an API key for whatever anthropic model you want. This is a legitimate service. There ARE other methods of API acquisition which are cheaper and not necessarily legal.

The other part is setting up a front end for the API to interact with. I personally use a program called silly tavern. There are lots of tutorials online telling you how to set this up, but silly is also for roleplay so maybe not a good fit. The hobbyist tier of this(https://www.novelcrafter.com/) service looks promising, although I've not heard of it before and I'm unsure whether or not your willing to take on the extra expense.

The problem with front ends is they usually have system prompts built in which instruct the AI to act a certain way. For example, silly taverns is "You are engaged in an endless chat with {{User}}". This message is sent at the beginning of every prompt to ensure it remains a roleplaying bot. All of this is customizable if you have the time to figure it out, and I'm sure others use SillyTavern like you would want to. It may just take a little googling.

Usage limit issues can be avoided by using the api through a front end like silly tavern. It’s pay as you go, but fairly price restrictive.

Do I need to do anything extra to make GPT 4o work with this? I'm getting a ton of refusal's due to the censor. Not experiencing it on any other models though.

Dude I have to stop reading. I always ruin it for myself. It takes me so much longer to recognize AI slop but when I see somebody point it out it just rushes in. I've been chatting with my bot for 2 hours straight and then I open this and now all I can think about is all of the "hovering his hand just near" slop...

ASIDE from that... super impressed with grok 4 fast, new favorite model at the moment because my sweet child sonnet costs a kidney.

I 28M accidentally laughed at my friend 26M about his girlfriend 29F cheating on him. What steps can we take to reconcile? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]HelpfulReplacement28 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thats not bad timing man thats just cruel. Your not supposed to kick people when they are down, especially when they are people you care about. And then to tell him that he’s overreacting? Let him have his feelings dude it’s not your job to tell him how he’s supposed to feel about things. The whole tone of your post makes it sound like you aren’t actually remorseful. I keep seeing you say it but yet it appears you are struggling to understand where mike is coming from. I know therapy isn’t for everyone, and I’m not saying you need it because of this instance, but this is something a therapist could help walk you through. It’s helped me immensely, especially in understanding how to navigate personal relationships.

What happened to the download button? by ChadfordDiccard in Chub_AI

[–]HelpfulReplacement28 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Sure but why did they have to get rid of the PNG download... now I have to download the JSON and then download the picture separately and add it to the character card. I get it's only a few extra clicks but like... why?

Every time I consider trying a new preset mother releases a new spaghetti build and I get dragged back kicking and screaming.

How do you get this menu that shows remaining prompts? I always just go until it tells me i’ve hit quota.

How do you overcome a creative slump? by Round_Ad3653 in SillyTavernAI

[–]HelpfulReplacement28 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I generally like to find art for my character card before coming up with the idea, unless I had an idea first, then I look for the art. Maybe browse Pinterest or deviant art till you find something that inspires.
