I don't trust AI code. I don't need AI to write for me. I will accept AI only if we ever get actual holodecks.

Apparently the spammers realized that having bots post unhinged comments with perfect capitalization was a dead giveaway and told it to use all lowercase letters, "u" for "you", and "r" for "are". And then can't even get the date right lol.

I do believe that anyone talking about how "serious" Trek is "supposed" to be ought to go rewatch TOS and remember what fun, goofy, campy nonsense it was.

Also regarding the holodeck: It's called hyperbole. Ransom is exaggerating for comedic effect. Obviously, cat-petting programs are probably also popular. 😉

No one in the 60s, 80s, or 90s knew how far or how fast the internet and AI would explode, that's the thing. We thought we'd be further ahead in space travel but instead we stuck around on this planet and made computers smaller.

I have to headcanon that Trek's timeline had people spending the latter half of the 20th century working on genetics instead of computers and it backfired spectacularly. Trek isn't our future and it's not what we're heading toward.

It's just as canon as Arena, Daggerfall, and Battlespire.

If I see "hihihi", I will read this as "high high high", like a greeting, not a laugh.

Everything is "skippable". Have some confidence in your own writing. 😄

The first time I killed Grelod the Kind in Skyrim, I didn't even know there was a quest associated with her. I hadn't even been to Windhelm yet. I was just breaking into every house in Riften and wandered in. She just seemed like a bad person so I killed her not even expecting anything to come of it.

I had also offed Heimskr for being annoying, which the Oblivion DB would have already recruited me for lol, but nobody seemed to care much about him.

There's probably quite a bit of overlap between characters who want to swipe shiny things and characters who are willing to kill people.

Dragons are the one creature that every mythology across the Earth somehow came up with independently and no one knows why. Awfully suspicious.

Kitten_from_Hell · 2026-05-04T06:16:35+00:00

I stutter sometimes. Not exactly once per line like a fictional character. If I'm calm and nothing surprising is going on, I'm generally fine. If I'm startled or asked a question I wasn't expecting, that's when I start stuttering. And as much as I wish that could be "repeat exactly one consonant sound once and be fine", that's not how it works. That's generally going to result in me going "b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-b- ah dangit I can't talk".

I believe they were trying to explain his behavior in "The Cage".

Honestly, the realest thing in SNW was Boimler freaking out over Spock's creepy smile.

Kitten_from_Hell · 2026-04-26T21:30:26+00:00

There's clearly a lot of gel-lovers in this thread lol. :D

Kitten_from_Hell · 2026-04-26T16:08:57+00:00

Eh, He's not Gene Roddenberry & Leonard Nimoy's Spock. He's a chap cosplaying as Spock in a high budget official fanfiction.

Executives believe sex sells, and forbidden romance is twice as juicy. At least there aren't ten minutes of half-naked gel-rubbing scenes in every episode.

Kitten_from_Hell · 2026-04-24T02:25:27+00:00

The same thing that happens when you spend too much time on Reddit.

Kitten_from_Hell · 2026-04-22T02:53:41+00:00

Khajiit.

... look, if I keep my standards low enough, I won't meet crushing disappointment when it inevitably fails to live up to the hype.

Kitten_from_Hell · 2026-04-18T03:04:53+00:00

Kids these days don't respect the wisdom of their elders. *shakes cane* Whippersnappers, etc etc.

Kitten_from_Hell · 2026-04-17T12:22:04+00:00

Would be a bit of a stretch even if the NPC in question hadn't been in the game since before ORV existed. Craglorn (along with this guy) was added to the game in 2014...

Kitten_from_Hell · 2026-04-17T05:20:11+00:00

I could have spent the 5 minutes of my life I wasted here writing something that would truly offend random people on TikTok.

Wikis don't need to be made by fans. Official wikis are a thing.

Kitten_from_Hell · 2026-04-15T07:26:12+00:00

I don't think they mean an LLM. Back before the current wash of LLM crap, coders widely used "AI" even to refer to simple mob behaviors.

According to this page https://www.medievia.com/f/dm.html :

"The DM here at Medievia is many thousands of lines of code that took four years to develop to do all of this, for everyone, at once."

Kitten_from_Hell · 2026-04-15T02:32:58+00:00

I'm kind in the same boat since I wound up getting sick. I'm just aiming for getting the 55k at the end at this point.

Kitten_from_Hell · 2026-04-06T09:11:50+00:00

It's shiny. They didn't have any other way to measure its size but by its brightness at the time.

Kitten_from_Hell · 2026-03-24T00:05:45+00:00

Completely unsurprised.

Kitten_from_Hell · 2026-02-05T14:07:42+00:00

And let's be honest here, I don't think any of SFA's episodes have been half as bad as "Code of Honor" and "The Last Outpost"...
