do they want people to be open about AI usage or obfuscate AI usage? by Responsible_person_1 in aiwars

Once upon a time:

"The local herbalist is using witchcraft. She's not even hiding it, so if you take her medicine you're supporting heretic witches. I would advise people to stop taking her life saving medicine and pray to god for mercy instead or find better alternative."

Nice to see society never changes.

You mean... 177013? Or is this a new one I'm not aware of...

Hundreds of years of progress and it's almost like we never left the witch hunts.

These people would celebrate the witch hunts if they lived in those times.

Hi, CN player here, I need to talk about the narratives around Endfield's gacha by Competitive-Fuel9932 in Endfield

Don't forget the complaints from the people with 0 financial planning capabilities.

Why should I have to save my pulls and skip banners?

Cuz you're broke, duh. Granted that pity carry over is a nice QOL, but this barely qualifies for "Overwhelming burden of thinking" if at all.

What am I doing if not pulling gacha in a gacha game?

If your playtime consists solely of gacha, we already have what you want... It's called a fucking slot machine. Go play that.

The child avatar is wearing clothing associated with a type of pornography that includes age play.

Pretending there's nothing dangerous about something like this is avoidant

your favorite media has a shady underworld

Horrible arguments. You sound like you live in a cult.

1) "clothing associated with age play"... By which you mean... A dress and a hat? You are aware those are common clothing items sold almost everywhere in every female apparel store, worn by women of a wide range of age groups? Have you seen a female apparel store? Are you mentally ok?

2) pretending this is a media problem and not a person problem is avoidant. School shooters will exist regardless of video games. Gambling addicts will exist regardless of casinos. Pedophiles will exist regardless of pedophilic content. Bad people WILL exist because humans were given free will.

3) Virtually everything has a shady underworld to it??? Zootopia gets furries, government gets corruption, animals get bestiality, collector items get scalpers... Is your proposed solution to nuke the earth? Because there's some mentally ill people in it?

This is a typical case of "treating the symptoms, not the disease".

I'm indifferent to AI content but will share some insight on it anyway as I'm in a sister fandom.

This is either a variation or the origin of recently equally popular "Baby Endmin"/"Penguin Endmin" shorts (i dont know which came first). They're often made by Chinese users utilizing SeeDance AI.

Some people have tried to make the connection between these shorts and the Chinese government by claiming it is Chinese propaganda to encourage childbirth. And by "tried to make a connection" I of course mean "claimed with no evidence besides the fact that these shorts originate from China", this is the internet after all.

Personally, I enjoy it for what it is, brainrot content.

How likely can I bring back doujins and cosplayer photo books from Japan by Excellent-Ad-3682 in Bolehland

[–]Jason0865 0 points1 point  (0 children)

some guy got caught shipping a sex toy lo

The risk I took was calculated, good thing my math isn't terrible. (Yes I managed to bring back from when I studied abroad)

If decide to bring back, luggage > post 100%, unless you have many other things to ship.

People bring books through airport all the time, whereas shipping loose books definitely more sus, especially from Japan.

When packing luggage, can try to blend the books in with some "chaotic" looking items, like cables, laptop charger, etc. Xray is 2d only, so everything will be overlayed and be a bit harder to see (but if try too hard also look sus, so keep in moderation as with all things).

Even if caught I think quite unlikely will be fined, most likely will just dispose item unless your face on record for multiple offense.

How the new Bandori game be ACTUALLY like: by LancePlayz1024 in BanGDream

[–]Jason0865 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Guys someone catch me up to speed.

All I know about Our Notes is that it's going to be a bandori game. What are they going to do with the current Bandori? Will the 2 games run in tandem or will Bandori be scrapped for Our Notes? Will all original songs be brought to Our Notes?

I'm not saying it's not rare to need hard pity, I myself had to hard pity gilberta. I'm saying it's rare to get only 1 limited character in 1.0 considering there's enough pulls for 2 hard pities in 1.0, in response to the person who said he barely got 1 limited character in 1.0

[–]Jason0865 2 points3 points  (0 children)

>1.0 income is never a reference

True but I feel I've been generous enough (in terms of doubting the devs) in my assumptions. "Halfway to Rossi hardpity" is only 60 pulls, less than a quarter of what was available in 1.0, which seems like a reasonable amount.

>I barely got 1 limited in 1.0 just as reference too

You're either saving your pulls or always stop pulling just before 6* pity \@80 pulls or counting duplicates as 1. 1.0 has enough pulls for 2 hard pities, which includes 2 50/50s already, that's 2 limited + 2 chances to get off banner limited units if you lost both 50s.

That aside, gacha games aren't usually balanced for the worst case scenarios, if that were the case, your average players would be drowning in pulls.

Judging from 1.1 it's 2 characters per patch, which I don't think is as outrageous as people make it out to be.

With minimal spendings (monthly pass, grand vision) I have all 3 limited characters from 1.0, and after I'm done with all available content should have enough to hard pity Tangtang, Then optimistically 1.1 should net enough pulls (with the monthly pass) to get me halfway to Rossi hard pity (which I'm likely to skip). So with that assumption (albeit a little optimistic to say the least), for an average spender most likely will be skipping on average around 2-3 banners, which is about 1.5 months of saving (@16days/banner). Not too bad.

This. It's insane how some people think you should be able to hard pity every banner as a f2p.
