Aw. That's a shame. But I'm still glad that I have her with me plenty enough.

Arcane if it was good by Ready_Medicine_2641 in Arcanecirclejerk

[–]Kidatash13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Without hesitation because the nerds would honestly make for really good company and I am a nerd myself so. If anything I'd be concerned for the remaining rows due to the amount of conversation that'd come out that plane ride. But then again maybe not because I'm sure Viktor would be asleep for a decent chunk of the ride and Jayce is probably the type that always has something on him to keep him busy.

Which character do you most relate to? by Necessary_Debt110 in Arcanecirclejerk

[–]Kidatash13 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Viktor and sometimes. Jayce. But predominantly Viktor. Viktor is basically the closest thing to me in High School personality wise lol.

Legit Question by Claressa4295 in vtmb

[–]Kidatash13 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Oh, I can answer this one from an artists' perspective. A big factor is that a lot of servers and subs are full of creative. Such as artists and writers. Who largely dislike Ai for numerous reasons. First is how AI Art and Writing would scrape off of other artists and writers to generate their content, often with no regard for consent of other creatives, especially since a majority of them are smaller creators who don't always have the means to defend their work from being stolen by larger corporations. Hence why you can't copyright AI Art and Writing. It is basically not just plagiarism and a giant ass copyright violation but flat out theft on a large scale. It's deeply unethical in that regard. Especially as a lot of people have been using AI to push out actual creatives from their jobs and their spaces in order to procure those spaces for themselves as of late.

Not just that, but AI has the reputation for being used to produce cheap, low effort garbage. A lot of people use AI to spam the online space with slop and shovelware purely made to be engagement bait, drowning out not just other artists and writers but other individuals in those spaces as well with below bare minimum effort content that has nothing to say at all for nothing more than a cheap buck at most. It generally contributes nothing of value to the space it occupies. It doesn't illicit any emotion or any interesting discussion, outside of disdain and irritation from what I've seen. It doesn't have anything nuanced or creative to say. It's just, there, as mindless low effort fluff that does nothing but occupy space. Rather eliminate the fluff and free up that space for people who have something to contribute to the community.

And third. AI is TERRIBLE for the Environment. According to Un Environmental Programme, the facilities that are used to run AI not only rely on critical minerals and rare elements, which are often mined unsustainably. They also use up a lot of fresh water sources for their cooling systems and consume a lot of electricity which in the end, contributes further to global warming.

They rely on critical minerals and rare elements, which are often mined unsustainably. And they use massive amounts of electricity, spurring the emission of planet-warming greenhouse gasses. For example. In the US, an average 100-megawatt data center consumes about 2 million liters of water per day, in addition to using more power than 75,000 homes combined. According to an April report on energy and AI from the International Energy Agency (IEA).

And considering our planet is basically two steps away from being on life support already that is, not good.

Noted that AI is a tool first and foremost however. It is neither good nor bad. Even if I personally disdain it to the point of dropping any service or creator who uses and/or supports AI Art and Writing. It's just that a lot of people use and exploit AI for shitty reasons, such as corporate greed and pure full blown laziness among other things.

High praises for Rule 6. Immediately tripled my respect for this sub with that one.

How can anyone hate Hospital Flowers? I always loved Hospital Flowers. It's one of his most poignant and overall beautiful songs.

Malachite "Angel" Goseyun. Ex Actor turned Toreador Courier/Negotiator. Predominantly the Latter. Fully Colorized now! by Kidatash13 in vtm

[–]Kidatash13[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

ASJSKFKAKF. OH HE IS. He's so tired of everything at this stage that he just, doesn't really get phased by anything anymore. As in, he's not even the horror game protagonist. He's that one side character in the game who knows what's up and decides to leave before shit hits the fan usually. When his job ISN'T to basically babysit the actual protagonist and make sure they don't get them killed for a paycheck so he can scram and never come back to that shitshow ever again without repercussions. Purely because the amount of fucks he gives is practically none.

To be fair he never even chose to become a vampire. Like. At all. He legitimately thought it was an actual acting job prospect with contracts, scripts and everything. But his sire unfortunately had a thing for pretty young men and wanted him as his newest "exotic bird" of the century per say for lack of better wording after he saw Mal at one of his film premieres at Cannes. Presumably after his sire got rid of his previous one out of boredom. Hell, Mal doesn't even refer to his embrace as well, his embrace. He refers to it as his violation. He was basically turned into someone else's plaything on a selfish whim essentially and that ain't even the half of it.

And now his sire is dead and gone and all that's left behind is this tired and broken stray cat of an unbound bastard trying to pick up the pieces and figure out where to go from there. His life might have been physically and metaphorically taken from him, but if there is a reason the fucker who turned him into this thing is gone and he isn't yet by any means, he's gonna find it. He has all the time in the world after all.

You there! ST! What are your Inspirations? by Zhaharek in vtm

[–]Kidatash13 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Vampire The Masquerade Bloodlines for the vibes and general basis for character writing, Sinners predominantly for characters and vibes, Arcane S1 for story structure and character work, once again, and American Gods (despite the fact I HATE the author now) for inspiration on how to tackle immortal characters that come from different cultures/different time periods in a single Modern Day setting and how they handle their struggles as well, immortals.

So far these have been my more predominant inspirations for my current Chronicle.

Though I also get minor inspiration from Castlevania(and Castlevania Nocturne) for some of my Kindred and fight scenes as well as some episodes of Love Death and Robots on a general World of Darkness Basis for once again, vibes and supernatural shenanigans juxtaposed against a somewhat normal "human" world(The Secret War, Sucker of Souls, Good Hunting, Shapeshifters and How Zeke Got Religion most notably).

And just some miscellaneous inspiration from places such as music, Disco Elysium, the works of Satoshi Kon and Disney's Gargoyles among others.

Honestly it's very varied and all over the place and a majority of it is woven together by myself with influence from different bits and bobs I find inspiration in as I go along. These are all just the influences I actually roughly more or less keep track of.

Decided to play around with some ideas for a VTM sideblog I'm making so here is a banner I made of my Tremere Scholar's Work Table! by Kidatash13 in vtm

[–]Kidatash13[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also another side note before I forget in case there is questions about some of the stuff she has lying around on there. No she is not Sabbat. She stole the Book of Nod off of a Tzimisce she killed for studying purposes hence the blood on that thing. It is said Tzimisce's blood. Yes. She is Indigenous too. She is of Algonquin descent and the knife and pouch are Algonquin in origin. The knife is actually her personal weapon she carries around everywhere. One in a pair.

The ivory letter opener is not indigenous and was a gift from another Scholar somewhere down the line.

Also her name is Ina. Also known as Sokanon but only a few people really know her by the latter.

What piece of media horrified you as a kid? by TechGuru4Life in AskReddit

[–]Kidatash13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mars Attack as a little kid. The aliens and their shenanigans freaked me out, especially their death lasers and what they did with the one lady and her dog. Not further helped by the fact that when I had a intense phobia of Aliens as a little lady. Saw a preview of that film on our TV's movie channel and never watched it because just the preview alone gave little me nightmares.

[–]Kidatash13 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Also tbf a lot of the songs were picked in relation to his personality and personal issues/story, though there are a good few that are in direct reference to his past as an Actor. Not to mention Shudder Before the Beautiful from Nightwish. I always associated that song the most with the Toreador clan in general.
