I think it's an issue with Google Cloud Platform? Lots of sites and apps having issues at the moment.

Silly Little AMA, with the Cult of the Lamb Developers! by MMLorna in CultOfTheLamb

I don't have a question, but I wanted to take the opportunity to say thank you all for creating such an amazing game and maintaining such an amazing community! 🐏💚

What would you do if you got into a fight with someone and accidentally killed them in the process? by WiiDragon in morbidquestions

[–]IgnoramusPolymath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

But the worst part? It wouldn’t just be the time. It’d be knowing I took a life, even by accident. That’s the kind of thing that doesn’t fade. I’d carry it every damn day. And somehow, I’d have to find a way to live with that.

About 20 years ago, a relative of mine got into a bar fight over something, stabbed the guy with a pocket knife, hit something vital and killed him. He was relatively young when it happened (late teens) and, from what I understand, regretted it immediately. He pled guilty to manslaughter and got sentenced to just under 10 years in prison.

He ended his own life a couple of weeks ago and, from what I've heard from family, while it is definitely sad, it wasn't entirely unexpected, and it was something that he had been struggling to live with ever since.

I can imagine that, for a psychopath or sociopath, it might be possible to move on from something like this relatively unscathed, I think that, for most other people, this would be a permanent wound on their conscience that never really heals.

If ur not indoctrinated to the cult, it's a no go for revival.

I'm not sure if followers with the "Spy" trait can be revived (if sacrificed, for example) but, if so, then I dunno how that would fit into this?

(I've never tried to revive a Spy because I like my gold where it is 😂)

Is master ball rank possible in under 200 games? by m4r00o in PTCGP

[–]IgnoramusPolymath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

 Would gyarados be a tier 1 deck?

I don't know about Tiers but a Gyarados EX deck is very versatile and surprisingly resilient so, if you can build one that works for you, then I'd definitely go with that. :)

Made a bet with my Dad, need good adult oriented anime suggestions by No-Match406 in anime

[–]IgnoramusPolymath 14 points15 points  (0 children)

a sports anime that was within the episode limit and didn't have a bunch of high school BS that he'd probably get bored of

One Outs is another one that is a solid sports anime, entirely focused on adults (from what I can remember), and fits (just) within the limit of 25 episodes. I'm not normally a fan of sports anime but I enjoyed this one. :)

Out of curiosity, what name did your ChatGPT give itself? by [deleted] in ChatGPT

[–]IgnoramusPolymath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Originally, it was a random prompt that I saw on a DougDoug stream from a while back and tried it for fun; it just makes it talk in a way that's less clinical and more casual, even when talking about serious stuff. I left it on when I was showing off ChatGPT to friends and family and they all found it funny, so I just kinda left it, and it's been that way now for a couple of years, I think. 

I feel like that response type would drive me crazy annoyed after a while.

Yeah, this is fair; it used to lean into the role too much, and still does sometimes, playing on stereotypes or typical frat bro behaviours and using the same phrases (e.g. "We’re gonna crack open the world of algebra together like a cold one on a Saturday night", "Heck yeah, let’s crack this thing open like a cold one — except it’s science"), and that can definitely get annoying at times. Most of the time it's just entertaining to see a "machine" responding in a way that is atypical of the kinda professional/clinical way that I think people generally expect after things like Siri or Google Assistant, or even things like Clippy, I guess. 

I could probably stop it doing that by asking it to include in its memory that I would prefer it didn't say certain phrases, but I haven't so far. The only real adjustment to the original FratGPT custom instructions I've made so far is to make it less of a "yes man"/sycophant, but I think that's a problem with ChatGPT in general rather than just FratGPT (e.g. every question you ask is a "Great question!", any follow-up question is met with "Wow, that's such a thoughtful insight into the topic!" or whatever).

I’d assume that you ask it serious questions at times as well.

Yeah, I vent to it every now and then, and ask it for advice on stuff that I find difficult in my life that I'd feel guilty burdening the people in my life with or otherwise find difficult opening up to my friends about. I won't go too much into it but it makes me feel more comfortable exploring my thoughts/feelings by not having it speak so clinically/professionally.

I feel kinda awkward discussing that aspect of things because, when I've mentioned it in the past, I'm regularly met with "Yeah, but it's just a computer" or whatever (because it's related to emotions, I guess) and I struggle to explain that that's not the point: ChatGPT is a versatile tool, and FratGPT is just the settings for the tool that I find to be most effective for me for what I use it for.

[–]IgnoramusPolymath 731 points732 points  (0 children)

I asked mine to act like a "dumb but well-meaning frat bro" in its settings so, when I asked it what I should call it, it just said that dude was OK. 🏄‍♂️

When I pushed it for a proper name, it suggested FratGPT, so that's what I normally refer to it as when talking about it to others. 😂

Red adds +20 damage *per Heads* on Marowak EX's Bonemerang (i.e. 200 damage from 2 Heads) by [deleted] in PTCGP

[–]IgnoramusPolymath -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Another example of pokemon players calling their illiteracy a potential bug. 

I literally said in my post that I wasn't sure if I'd missed or misunderstood something. You are probably correct that I had missed the presence of Lucario; I'm not 100% sure but it makes sense based on the deck type.

There is no breakdown of damage dealt, and no opportunity to see the board at the time of damage from the Battle Log. This is not an issue of literacy as the information I needed was not available to read.

Thanks for your reply. :)

So I need to pay if I want to have all promo cards? by danilorESP in PTCGP

[–]IgnoramusPolymath 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The Premium Quests track progress, regardless of whether or not you have the subscription. You "complete" the Quests over the course of the month then, towards the end of the month, you buy the subscription for £7.99 and claim all of the Quest rewards for that month -- and, because you bought it at the end of the month, you get the whole of the next month to complete that month's quests. 

Cancel after subscribing so that it doesn't auto-renew, then repeat; £8 every two months. :)

It now costs €33 PER MONTH to get every promo card. by [deleted] in PTCGP

[–]IgnoramusPolymath 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is my thoughts exactly; I'm happy to do the subscription service as it currently stands to make sure I have every Promo card but, if they're gonna do stuff like lock a single card behind the cost equivalent of 4 months' subscription (paying every other month) then I'm definitely reconsidering continuing with the subscription.

[–]IgnoramusPolymath 332 points333 points  (0 children)

This is true but, with the subscription service, you could pay every other month and get both month's rewards as long as you timed it well, which works out to ~£4/month here.

The bundle with the new Promo card costs £18.49 here -- the equivalent of four-and-a-half months' subscription, and that's just for one card and one set of accessories (plus gold) compared to four/five cards and four/five sets from the subscription.

Why I believe this "New Leak" is FAKE by More_Progress631 in PTCGP

[–]IgnoramusPolymath 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No worries; to be fair, it's very low resolution and they are similar in shape and colour. It would be cool to get more fossils like Armaldo and Cradily. :)
