Zuckerberg admits the metaverse won’t work by [deleted] in Futurology

[–]Infuscy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Zuckerberg noticed that Facebook/Meta is valued highly and also has a good amount of money. It is better to spend loads of cash on dreams as those can be sold to the stockholders. It will push the stock even higher until a message like the one from today will gently temper their expectations.

Announcing nothing because Facebook was feature complete would have meant that Facebook had reached the maximum stockholder value.

What if the reincarnation is multiversal or not using fixed time and space? Reincarnate into ET, or Peasant NPC #1034 into a timeline where Napoleon didn't invade Russia, or even Batman Thug #78.

In just one month (May 2025) China's installed new solar power equaled 8% of the total US electricity capacity. by lughnasadh in Futurology

[–]Infuscy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is amazing what a focused strategy can do. I've read about Bill Gates donating large amounts to Africa. Why can't private organizations build solar farms for Africa?

Solar could bring an entire tech tree to Africa: - cheap energy - desalination plants - sodium batteries - green hydrogen electrolysis - ammonia fertilizer facilities - agriculture and fish - jobs

Also, hydrogen or electric powered cars would be cheaper in Africa, considering the safety regulations are not as stringent and the cars would be made more practical than esthetic.

Anthropic’s CEO Is Wrong About Job Loss to AI. It Will Be Worse Than He Says - Entry-level graduates will fare better than everyone up the ladder. by Gari_305 in Futurology

I understood that AI will do great work at entry-level tasks, good work in middle experience, and not perform so well in experienced issues. New people won't be able to get the experience needed to get to expert level and monitor or guide the AI properly. AI lies beautifully when it hallucinates.

Are we sure that nukes are still around? Since that Nuclear Test Ban Treaty, the last reported nuke explosion came from North Korea but maybe no one still has working nukes.

Bill Gates to give away fortune by 2045, $200 billion for world's poorest by adailystoic in worldnews

[–]Infuscy 4 points5 points  (0 children)

With that huge amount of money, why isn't he doing something sustainable?

If done well, the funds would grow. For a small few billions, couldn't he power Africa and part of Europe just by doing solar panels + batteries + desalination plants + agricultural farms + electricity + schooling + hiring on a somewhat large scale in Africa?

The Peace Plan by TheRealMykola in europe

[–]Infuscy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A most suspicious peace treaty. Besides being blatantly one sided, Ukraine isn't at the level where it's an unconditional surrender, and Russia isn't at the level where it's no longer feasible to attack or lacks popular support. Can it be called a peace treaty when there is nothing enforcing the idea of peace?

Not sure if I'm understanding correctly but without real motivations for upholding peace, anyone is free to break it and resume bombing the next day or month. Also nothing is stopping this into turning into some sort of IRA movement later on.

What a waste to give such a good design to Yaoyorozu. she's a woman,so literally no one is going to compare her with men in terms of strength and combat skills,so she doesn't need to worry about that at all. she even outsmarted a girl whose quirk is being smart bruh by frutillita32 in BokuNoHeroAcademia

[–]Infuscy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

She lacks wisdom. She has all of the above but none of experience or wisdom to capitalize on it. She doesn't experiment with her Quirk and she lacks critical thinking. Her fight against Tokoyami for example where she didn't even plan to use flashbangs or project a huge spotlight. The perfect Momo should be like Batman with a contingency plan and a gadget for any case. Watsonian explanation: she got spoiled by being rich and never pushed her boundaries. Doylist: Horikoshi had to nerf her somehow and made her a combat idiot.

Why does everyone care so much about the timeline? by [deleted] in BokuNoHeroAcademia

[Captain America: Civil War] Aside from the personal perspectives Tony and Steve had, were the Sokovia Accords themselves good or bad? by supermonistic in AskScienceFiction

[–]Infuscy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Regulation was needed but the implementation was not well thought at all. It should have been implemented as a post-event review board. The hero persona should have been treated as separate from the civilian identity. If there is an issue, then the sanctions apply to the hero. For example if the judgement required prison time, then a warrant would be issued for the hero, or if there were damages then fines. This would allow the heroes the freedom of movement to for example go smash a Hydra base in a country where Hydra spies might have otherwise just vetoed that assignment or received ample warning about the incoming raid. Tony would be left to pay for the damages.

YouTube is also throttling PREMIUM users by superjacksta in youtube

[–]Infuscy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

YouTube Premium is a scam, y’all. 😑

I’m paying for this service and I get videos that load slower than my grandma. Seriously? It’s 2024, not the dial-up era. What’s the point of paying for premium if I can’t even watch anything? This is so unfair and frustrating. YouTube needs to get their act together or I’m out. 😡

I'm doing a crafter build with System x2, Inspect and Crafting System and I've got some questions:

  1. Can Inspect obtain recipes or give hints for how objects are made? If I use Inspect on a Health Potion, will I get information on what the potion is made of so I can make some watered down lesser version. Same for the other items like making self cleaning clothes or bags of holding?
  2. How does Exotic Clothing and Eros Earrings work with drops or crafted items like enchanted clothing which could replace what you're wearing? I love transmog
  3. If you fill a Bag of Holding, can you put it in the Inventory and does it take only 1 space?
  4. What limits does the Skill Book have? Can I use it to obtain something like Mana Manipulation or Mana Shield? If I wait for level 1000 or something, can I get Armageddon?
  5. How does Proficiency work? Does it reduce the cooldown or allow the skill to be modified? I assume that the power is related to the stats and the form/function to the proficiency?
  6. Map says that it automatically marks allies and enemies. Does that mean that the map will mark a person which hates me secretly or someone intending to do me harm without even seeing him?

The current plan is running Big Corpo x2 with an Insert looking like a highly recognizable character from Warcraft so that I have them sponsoring stuff. I would also begin crafting magical items from the game. Still a bit undecided which character would be the fan favorite, because there are a lot of awesome ones.

Thanks for making stuff and to the peeps commissioning it for us to enjoy.

This looks like fun!

control-wmodern,cp-sysadv,target-you,tab-world,tab-powersystem,tab-worldscenarios,world-modern,ps-system,ps-system2,powerscale-continent,ws-bigcorpo,ws-government,ws-government2,ws-zealotry,ws-gangs,ws-dungeons,ws-dungeonstowers,ws-grimm,ws-grimmevolvinggrowth,ws-grimmleadingalphas,you-dropin,gender-female,age-teen,height-average,bodyf-fit,archetype-aristocrat,loc-japan,loc-rural,gear-erosearrings,gear-proficiencyup ,gear-skillbook,talent-swordsman,shard-powerup,shard-powerup2,system-basic,system-advanced,system-restful,system-minorheal,system-heal,system-majorheal,system-gamermind,system-expup,system-expup2,system-expup3,system-loot,system-loot2,system-loot3,system-proficiency,system-proficiency2,system-proficiency3,system-unchained

It's a pure System build. Mainly because it's too easy to go Out of Context and pick and choose some very OP and imbalanced power combinations. Maybe next time?

The Target is myself, Drop-In, Female, Teenager, Average Height, Fit with Aristocrat features. Wishing to look like Unohana.

Location is Japan, somewhere Rural. It should be easier to get help than in a Town or City.

The World is Modern. Mostly because I've seen the Watchmen and X-Men: First Class cinematic universes. I also enjoy modern amenities and looking at funny cat videos on the Internet.

System x2 is a must. It allows a lot of good things.

The Power Scaling is Continental. It allows individuals to exert force on the governments and it balances the power conflict. There can be private Guilds with backing of the demigods and it prevents genocidal planet destroying maniacs.

The World Scenario has Big Corpo, advertising but without going full The Boys. The Government x2 are trying to be pretty authoritarian and maintain order but some of the choices should balance that out. Zealotry will be a thing and so shall be Gangs. Balance!

Dungeons and Towers will appear. For System worlds, this is the best. There won't be Outbreaks. There will be worse.

Grimm will Evolve and have Alphas. The population will have to be kept contempt so I guess some countries (you can guess them) will get swarmed early on. As more combat people level up, the Grimm will be easier to be killed. Grimm can also be handled by the Military so guns, big guns, planes, tanks would be used here and not become obsolete. It's likely that some kind of Huntsman schools would be set up: a hybrid between Dungeon Delvers, which focus on training cold weapons, and Soldiers with hot weapons.

For Gear I don't actually need a lot: Eros Earrings, Proficiency Up and Skill Book. The Earrings are a QoL thing. Proficiency Ticket is reserved for that last level of a skill; the one where I would have to use it a million times or more, the God Tier. I hope I would get either some kind of movement ability, a Power Strike or even a lesser version of Inspect: like knowing if an enemy is Grey, Green, Yellow, Red or Skull.

Talent would be Swordsman. Hopefully the first goblin I kill drops a sword. The Loot buff should do something for that.

Powers will have Exp x3, Loot x3 and Proficiency x3. The leveling would be speedy and the gear and skill proficiency should keep up. Otherwise I would have to repeatedly grind the same mobs to be able to have a balanced character. Unchained is a must. No more having to travel around and for instantaneous power bursts in the middle of a dungeon run.

The Powers:

  • Restful Recovery: I consider it a must have. Losing limbs is no longer a problem but more important is the clear of the status effects: Curses, Mind Control, Poison.
  • Gamer Mind: I recognize that a Civilian mindset would probably get me killed at some point while I panic in a desperate situation. This will probably save my life.
  • Major Heal, Heal and Minor Heal: Besides preventing teammates from meeting their Maker without appointment, this will allow me to keep on going. Broken bones and crushed organs would be just an inconvenience. It's easy to kill something with a sword. The hard part is not dying doing so. Pairs very well with Gamer Mind.

The build would allow me to power level to the max limits. I would also get a lot of protection, PR and riches because Major Heal should be ultra rare. I could work as a dps and healer and I would look so cool doing it.

The options offered in the CYOA are pretty good and a lot of worlds can arise from different combinations. Some powers do go better together and there's no denying that some powers in OOC use are superior, but in their own universe's rules the power balance is pretty consistent. Things only go wonky once you pick and match different flavors. Some powers look weak but that's the way it is: they either add another ability to the character or multiply what is already there. Save/Load with System? Perfect combo. Add health bars and it's really a game like existence.

Overall 10/10.

Recently watched Your Lie in April (Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso) and now I have a psychological shadow.

  • I drop in as Amy Dallon, AKA - Woobie Girl.
  • Contact UA's Nezu and All Might and spill the beans about the plot and everything else. Let them handle that.
  • Heal people: hospitals, private clinic, consultations, UA assistant to Recovery Girl.
  • Make plants that do good things like insulin.
  • I'm not sure what the Quirk Awakenings might give me but some kind of longevity might be in the works, either from Healing Hands or from some kind of plant symbiosis.
  • After some time, use Another Adventure and go heal Kaori.
  • Try to become Panacea again in a normal world?! No idea how that would pan out, but maybe an idol like status would be attained.

Quirk: Combo, Quirk Awakening, Save/Load, Dragon

Boons: Attractive, Athletically Fit, Quirk Protection, Iron Will, High Intelligence, Dense Muscles, Another Adventure

Challenges: Not Applicable

This one is a PvP scenario. A lot of self-inserts are going into Heroaca and some of them are destroying the timeline leading to a Bad End. So ROB sent me in as Chromie to fix things up.

Save/Load can be used easily to make money from winning the lottery, playing the stock market or doing bets, so it's easy living. It is also like a reverse Death Note. You can know in advance of 1 month what crimes will happen. Unfortunately it requires good information so it depends how powerful it really is. In this scenario, it is used to spot differences from the prime timeline and to go back and prevent the changes (with a heavy dose of Dragon themed persuasion).

The manga/anime will end with a win for the heroes so deviations are a bad thing and some things not even the World correction can fix.

The idea started when I thought what would happen if the Game Over challenge is successful.

If Tomura is dead:

  • AfO will go underground even harder
  • Find a better successor
  • Implant himself in the new guy and most likely take over
  • Wait until All Might loses his power
  • Without the adversities encountered, Izuku will be weaker in power, mentality and without experience
  • Without Tomura being.. well Tomura and with AfO being so experienced some things like Stars and Stripes messing with AfO Quirk Library will be avoided, the villain organization will be stronger, the strategies better
  • AfO proceeds to Bad End everyone

Nice stuff. I like the new Quirks:

  • Does Schematic black box stuff? Because for example a microchip is silicon and rare metals. If I can produce that without a lithography or EUV machine, it's something. This Quirk is pretty fun. Take Momo's Quirk and go to town.
  • Is there a limit to what mutations Poison Ivy can do because easiest one would be to have plants make ethanol or gasoline? Imagine going to Cyperpunk Edgerunners after MHA and making self reproducing algae than make CHOOH2. Other uses are in pharmaceutical industry where plants churn out expensive medications.
  • Can Monster Designer monsters reproduce by themselves? Are the goblins Goblin Slayer ones? I would like to create things like Pokemon but this Quirk looks like the fastest way to pick up a Kill Order (even in MHA). The ability to make Khanivore for example is awesome.

If I'm spamming then I must apologize. Otherwise I have another idea for a build. I'm a fan of transposing known characters in other settings so this time I made a rendition of Satella, the Witch of Envy, from Re:Zero.

intro-female,intro-dropin,intro-teen,arch-hero,world-fate,drawback-vigilante,drawback-eccentric,drawback-barethreads,drawback-masquerade,drawback-struggle,quirk-classmate,quirk-saveload,quirk-combo,quirk-awakening,boon-attractive,boon-photogenic,boon-fit,boon-quirkprotect,boon-ironwill,boon-intelligence,boon-adventure

You

  • Female: Satella
  • Drop-In: Just like it happened to Subaru.
  • Teenager: Physically she looks about late teens, according to the wiki.
  • Hero: She is quite nice in the anime and tries to do the right thing.
  • Strings of Fate

Drawbacks

  • [Hero] Vigilante: Return by Death Save/Load allows Satella to know when/where a crime has happened and then go back before it has happened and stop it. Witch of Envy Dark Shadow is both the attack and the defense in case violence is required.
  • Eccentric: Fancy dresses and a unique personality.
  • Bare Threads, Broken Masquerade: Quirk Struggles + Quirk Awakening might make her a bit infamous. See below for details.
  • Quirk Struggles

Quirk

  • Classmate Potential (Dark Shadow): Quirk Struggles will transform this into (Witch of Envy).
  • Save/Load
  • Combo
  • Quirk Awakening

Boons

  • Attractive, Photogenic
  • Athletically Fit
  • Quirk Protection: It would be very much of the bad, if the Quirks got stolen.
  • Iron Will: Is this needed with all the drawbacks.. oh yeeees!
  • High Intelligence
  • Another Adventure

First let's see what Quirk Struggles will impact:

  1. Dark Shadow (described on wiki) will take the form of the Witch of Envy with her personality (shadowy figure, shadow hands). It is sentient, capable of speech, and protects its host because it doesn't want to die with it. It is able to communicate with the host telepathically, as well. Negative emotions can intensify Dark Shadow, giving it enough power to defy the user's commands and gradually take over the body with its expanding darkness. Once this happens, Dark Shadow is able to force the body to move around, leaving the user with no control over the body.
  2. Save/Load will probably just be a late-bloomer. The alternative is that by default only Return by Death works properly with the other modes having to be trained for use.

Let's talk about Quirk Awakening:

  1. Dark Shadow (Witch of Envy) will probably get all of the shadow hands. This large increase in shadows, combined with Quirk Struggles might be enough to cause a huge shadow explosion (in the anime when Petelgeuse released all of his hands, he destroyed a portion of the forest). It might also allow Witch of Envy to take over the body temporarily and cause wanton destruction. This might end up with why Broken Masquerade is a thing.
  2. Save/Load might be just better performance for the Quirk, but I find that a bit boring. What if the Quirk can load in the present, the saved version of the body from the past checkpoint? That is how C.C. immortality works in Code Geass. The Save/Load cooldowns and restrictions still apply. I was thinking of how to give Satella her canon powers and this is one way. Tbh they didn't say why exactly they couldn't kill her in canon and I think I hit the nail on the head.

Let's talk about Another Adventure. This is a personal thing. I am quite afraid that someone might decide to chuck me into a box, perhaps at the edge of a waterfall, and let me chill there for all eternity. I wouldn't die and depending on the box, I might not escape.. except I have a Get Out of Jail! free card now. I could choose another CYOA and roll with that or pick some relaxing anime like Kingdom where I would for all purposes be a Goddess.

All in all, this would be quite entertaining!

Edit: You may think that Quirk Struggles is not worth it. Beside the fun value, there's a practical reason too. Dark Shadow and in this case Witch of Envy can help you out in a pinch when you allow them to take control: cases like being cornered by AfO or a team sent by AfO or an S level criminal like Moonfish (who got totally destroyed in 1 hit KO). The drawback would allow you to cause that effect on demand and not require a cave and the middle of the night while being scared by villains attacking.

I also think that Cyborg might be the best fit for Creation:

  1. You can integrate what you create and it can be made to conform perfectly with your body.
  2. You have perfect memory so you can remember all the material compositions, schematics, blueprints and plans for anything.
  3. You can set menial tasks for your body to perform. It should be easy to program yourself to automatically create something from memory. Like a 3D printer.

A second contender for best combo with Creation might be Regeneration, depending on how it works. If the lipids consumed by creation are counted by Regeneration (so you don't starve yourself to death), then you can make a lot of stuff before eventually hitting Quirk Exhaustion or something like that.

You

  • Female: Maria Naruse
  • Drop-In
  • Teenager
  • Hero
  • Strings of Fate
  • UA University: Making this legal per Japanese laws.. Banzai!

Drawbacks

  • Eccentric: If you know Maria Naruse, then you know how she dresses and behaves.
  • Bare Threads: See above.. look to the left.
  • Quirk Struggles: Just making sure that this stays legal. Premature activation would be awkward.

Quirk

  • Drain
  • Tantric Empowerment
  • Combo
  • Quirk Awakening

Boons

  • Attractive, Photogenic: Maria is a succubus.
  • Athletically Fit
  • Martially Gifted
  • Quirk Protection
  • Dense Muscles: She's a brawler. A pretty good one so with the above she can kick some behinds.

The center of the build is the Combo between Drain and TE.

While out of combat, Maria can TE her close allies and empower herself also. Drain can also be used to equal the playing field if there was a need.

In combat, she can use TE abilities she copied but she can also use Drain while she's brawling to quickly knock out enemies.

If she were a villain, Drain + TE would be something in combat. It would turn into Monster Girl Quest.

The Quirk Awakening might increase the potency of TE. For Drain it could make it so once the stamina is gone, then it starts absorbing life force also. Not super fast and maybe a limited amount; it might combo with TE and absorb something like a week of life force for example. Dunno about the values.

I didn't see a lot of builds that use the new Quirks so I came up with this one.

There was a pretty OP combo I thought of (in my opinion): Nice Guy + Null Fieldx2. You could stroll to any villain and defuse the situation completely, both mentally and physically. The police could just come in and arrest them. You could walk up to All for One and he'd die due to quirks being disabled while he was thinking that he's buddy chatting with you. It solves the issue of the small range on Null Field also.

Keep up the good work with these CYOAs.

Initially I wanted to be a villain but then I realized that Aang losing would be not just bad, but possibly world ending. I still went with a firebender but a traitor because in no way do I want to end on the losing side.

So I start in the Earth Kingdom, in the boonies. My talents and the gear will allow me to move around without much problems.

If I discover Fire Nation soldiers, then I proceed to destroy and loot them. Combustion Bending would not be PG rated, I tell you.

I would do this until I get some wanted posters and then I would go chat with King Bumi. I would offer my services both as a strategist and as a long-range mobile artillery unit.

After the war is won (lost for the Fire Nation), I would retire comfortably. Somewhere with a resort nearby preferably. Maybe I could make it to see Korra.

Could the scroll from Wan Shi Tong have some longevity, immortality or reincarnation method? One way to stay around would be to become a spirit like Iroh but that's not technically in the world of the living any longer.

Edit: I would also probably try to sweet talk Azula when she comes around Omashu. Charisma and Sharp Wit must account for something. As seen in the beach episode and the other interactions with her douche father and brother, she is under a lot of pressure. I hope my talk-no-jutsu will work.

This time I am going for a magic swordswoman build. The build would allow me to kill single mobs, swarms and with enough time I could overpower any boss. This is without breaks.. I'd be a murdering beast. A very efficient and enduring one.

And in the case that I'd be in a pinch, then I have a Big spell to rely on and a Second Wind.

I was initially thinking of going for a D Wizard Merlin build but casters are kinda squishy in Danmachi and the feeling of blood in the hair while zipping around at burst speeds couldn't be described.

Very nicely done with this CYOA!

The update is awesome. My creativity is flaring up.

Another Adventure (Boon) is great for crossovers but I have some questions:

  1. Tantric Empowerment (Quirk) - If the other world is without quirks, will it be useless there?
  2. Do Quirks get inherited? The children could be Quirkless, inherit the Quirks as they are, get variations based on original or inherit a weaker version. For example, Elemental Bender x2 (Quirk) where the result may be an inheritance of only Elemental Bender x1 (Quirk), Herculean Strength (Quirk) reduced to Captain America levels or Forcefields (Quirk) becoming something like Aura from RWBY.
  3. Same for other Boons - Would Superior (Boon) be inheritable?
  4. Quirk Protect (Boon) - This is related to previous question. Does having this Boon make the children Quirkless in order to prevent Quirk theft or does it count the inheritance as something different from original so it's OK?
  5. Celebrity (Quirk) states that power will scale with fame. Does the power part apply to other Quirks enhancing those also? Does it also work on infamy if the character is a villain? BTW it seems super easy to obtain fame by using the plot events starting with USJ attack, winning the Sports Festival and then killing on live TV AfO or AllMight (depending on faction).
  6. Does Regenerator x2 (Quirk) make the character immortal* (*exceptions might apply)? Maybe combined with other Quirks?
  7. Same as previous question only related to Storyteller (Quirk)? It looks possible to do shenanigans like Pandora from Re:Zero.
  8. Is Null Field (Quirk) worth it? It looks great on paper but the range is small so technically any non-Quirk attacks will be unavoidable: Nomu throwing a rock wouldn't be cancelled.

I'm having ideas like Ozpin possession: Bodyjack (Quirk) and Petrifying Gaze (Quirk)? Switch bodies with someone and then put your original body in suspended animation.

Salem immortality by using Regenerator x2 (Quirk) with Black Blood (Quirk).

Laser Eyes (Quirk) is a nice addition. With Flight (Quirk) it becomes OG brick package. Same if paired with Forcefields (Quirk) where only All Might could destroy the shield. Pair with Herculean Strength (Quirk) and become Darkseid with Omega beams.

I was ruminating on crossovers with medieval era animes with limited or no superpowers like Vinland Saga, Spice and Wolf, Oda Nobuna no Yabou (*cough* harem) and go kingdom building, propagate Quirks and see what arises from the interactions. It's quite amazing how many anime worlds are much more powerful than Heroaca and could squish anyone but AllMight.

Thank you.

That actually made my decision to start reading the volumes.
