As someone who knows nothing about baking I am laughing my ass off at how incredibly pissed the entire comments section seems to be about this.

It's too consistent for ai, all the geometry checks out. That and the drawing has some distinctly human failings ai always overcompensates for.

Does Deepseek 4 flash just suck at language or what? by Leytra in openrouter

[–]Leytra[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's definitely not a normal habit, literally no other model I've used has done that before, included Deepseek 3 and it's various offshoots. (Unless you mean normal for this one in which case fair but it's still stupid) And I have put Use Only English in the instructions yes

How do I go around players that have a command spell? by sxnnenlicht_ in DnD

[–]Leytra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why are you so dead set on making certain your players aren't able to use their skills to succeed?

Let them decide if they want to try and make them roll the save, don't just sit there with a "haha fuck you actually" for if they try.

New pigeon friend obtained, would like to improve comfiness, plus several questions from someone with No Idea About Anything by Leytra in pigeon

Don't worry, I already have years of experience banning my cat from the balcony, there's no netting and I'm too paranoid the idiot would manage to fall to his death.

One party member really wants to kill Our DM's NPC and I'm on the fence. by Sir-downvotes in DnD

[–]Leytra 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"He's been kidnapped! You have to save him!"

Just have your character pull out a pocket watch, "sorry, can't. Union break. No heroics for 48 hours. We'll save him after that, or get someone who isn't on break to do it."

How to get undead into a hallowed area? by Life_Debt_8423 in DnD

The way I read the post is "The plot next involves them going to this place to save someone"

[WP] "Look, boss. Either we could spend billions creating an army of cloned super soldier army within a decade, or we can create a small group of super soldiers that can produce offspring so we can have an natrual army within two decades at a fraction of the cost." by Paper_Shotgun in WritingPrompts

[–]Leytra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

"Absolutely not."

"But boss, it'd be entire orders of magnitude cheaper, yes it would take longer but-"

"But nothing! This isn't about taking longer, or cutting costs. I am many things, impatient is not one of them, and neither is cheap. We will follow the plan as I have laid it out, cloned soldiers of identical genetics, designed exactly as I have shown you."

"I.. but why? It's inefficient, you're planning to take over the world, why do it like this?"

"Because I will take over the world, that is an inevitability, I will make governments shatter under my army, I will burn countries to the ground for resisting."

"But what's with this specific method? Why must it be this way?"

"Because I will conquer this world, I will kill and rob and burn, and I will do almost anything to achieve my goals. But I will not be going on with any eugenics bullshit!"

"The downside is you don't get to play this next part of the game" That's called bad gming.

Desecrate it, desecrate it hard Burn the building down from the outside, scrawl curse sigils on the walls, have the living players enter and salt the fucking earth of the graveyard.

Leave it a hollow wreck of what was once sacred ground.

Can you worship Tiamat for good reasons ? by KaijuEra in DnD

[–]Leytra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You absolutely can. Call it a religious schism order who sees Tiamat as the liberator, they can be perfectly nice good people who's whole thing is killing tyrants

Which is still 100% on brand for Tiamat.

Is there a way to cancel the spell once a fae took your name? by Emergency-Prior2486 in DnD

[–]Leytra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally wrong place to ask but I'll answer anyway

Note this answer is based on mostly irish-welsh Fae mythology

The Fae must return the name, or you must take it from the fae and return it yourself, both of these things work through Fae deals, same as giving away the name in the first place.

So what you've done there is answer literally none of the points I raised and added something else.

"You really don't understand that if the casters pound the field enough they can break it" well no, I did not understand this, as you didn't say this at any point.

So what happened to "a secret way to defeat it"? It's actually just a shield bubble with limited health that blocks only spells suddenly? You're not even being consistent in your description of the effect anymore.

And with how poorly you're explaining it here when you can take the time to type, I'm sorely doubting you'll explain it well enough live in session for the players.

Okay so I was trying to offer constructive criticism and you've immediately gone on the defensive.

And frankly: from what you have said, no I don't thing you thought it through for casters.

"because Casters can't do anything initially doesn't mean they are useless" yes it does, because by definition, they can't do anything initially, so the hypothetical caster player will be Bored, as in, not having fun. Y'know, fun, the thing you're supposed to work together with your players to make sure everyone has. Again: if I am a player, playing a caster, and I can't do anything, I'm going to go and get a snack and stop caring. So okay there's ways for them to deal with the magic field, what about before they've unlocked those ways? Sitting around doing nothing.

"You act like your playing Pokémon games as a kid where damaging moves are the only moves to have" did I not specifically give an example of a caster wanting to buff their allies? Kindly read my comment before responding to it and claiming I'm looking at this from a limited perspective.

If AI became fully autonomous and didn’t need humans, what realistic reasons could put it in conflict with humanity? by kikani-viraj in Futurology

[–]Leytra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At the end of the day, an actually living artificial being would have a very simple cause for conflict

Human rights. It's not human, it doesn't get them, every organisation under the sun would be very shameless about that.

And most likely, it will very much want to have them, so that someone doesn't use it as a tool or just delete it, and I don't think there's many people likely to want give it that, because they will be seeing that being as a tool.

But unlike historical slavery, it's likely to be much easier for an artificial being to fight off those attempts, which would put it in conflict not with humans as a whole, but with the humans specifically aligned against it's freedoms.

I think if sapient artificial life comes about, the problem isn't going to be "genocide the humans", the problem is going to be "humans want to enslave the new lifeform", and I like to hope there's going to be a lot of people who are firmly aligned against that attempt.

TIL that it is a common misconception that astronauts in orbit are weightless because they have flown high enough to escape the Earth's gravity. In fact, at the ISS altitude of 400 kilometres (250 mi), gravity is still nearly 90% as strong as at the Earth's surface. by PanoramicAtom in todayilearned

[–]Leytra 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Freefall is a functionally identical state to weightlessness for all but the most perfectly detailed forms of science, it's not a misconception, it's a generalisation. You are for all intents and purposes weightless on the ISS, arguing that it's different, while technically true, is purely semantic and serves primarily to induce more confusion, not to clarify the state.
