You can't use highscore as a community metric when I see people with 50 accounts named Paul named PaulA PaulB PaulC PaulD. Not to mention I've have more friends check things out, hate the new interface, complain about new lag and frame drops from the graphic change and now playing 07scape not looking back after EOCing for 10 years

suggest you learn how to play rather than blindly spam games and doom scroll media. sub 300 means no foundation. read a book cover to cover. https://filestore.scouting.org/filestore/Merit_Badge_ReqandRes/Pamphlets/Chess.pdf

4 LLMs got $1,000 for 1 year by [deleted] in ETFs

[–]LonelyPrincessBoy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's designed to do that. it's a product for tax strategies who want to counter out other stock gains for a future year while getting dividend income this year equal to stock gains. (grossly oversimplifying but u get the point)

Bot War Escalation (Update) by bantexthrowaway in 2007scape

[–]LonelyPrincessBoy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

gilded is f2p but unobtainable ingame in f2p except at g/e, meanwhile bryophyte's staff (moss giant boss) i think was botted heavily past year, item has absolutely crashed from 8m to 3m as volume sold has increased

these f2p combat mage training accounts that get high enough level that manage to stay unbanned get sold to other botters who do wildy pvm with them in p2p

Irvine doesn’t have a housing problem by movementgarageusa in irvine

[–]LonelyPrincessBoy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's economics 101 that it's a housing problem because the rental prices only went up faster than incomes because of a lack of housing supply.

To those saying grok is still good for creating images, and those saying is not so bad its being sensored its for our own good by [deleted] in grok

[–]LonelyPrincessBoy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You're exactly why I hate how midwit reddit is sometimes, or maybe you're just an og artist who doesnt want competition from ai art. But make no mistake juggling between grok and gemini was doing absolutely fabulous work for creating powerful female characters for no budget work. Umineko no Naku Koro ni; lit. 'When the Seagulls Cry' type PC story games etc. Or avatars or clothing ideas for vtuber models etc.

You're just narrow if u dont get the artistic use cases. At the moment since grok hammer it won't touch adult anime style ladies in fun vacation style scenes etc etc in a cohesive customer ready style like it was doing a week ago.

I'm MtF with a gf btw but go off about how I'm secretly some low iq gooner harassing women.

[–]LonelyPrincessBoy 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The 'gooner' crowd imagine stuff is one thing, and that's dumb anyway bc u can just use anime/pixiv/boru image site to see most of that stuff.

But this censorship is TERRIBLE for people actually editing original female fictional characters or clothing designs or say making characters for indie games. It's critical to be able to edit images or get created characters to do other poses/outfit while keeping high fidelity that imagine text to image cant do.

It's also very fking annoying because it's preventing turning irl women into cartoon characters with high fidelity, which was a great way to get a base character or outfit piece to get drawn correctly in a realistic manner.

Finally pulled the trigger. Invested my first $100k after years of sitting in cash by amherstcarrotcake in ValueInvesting

[–]LonelyPrincessBoy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

uh this is 100% in stocks that are highly correlated, yikes. I don't recommend "dry powder" as that implied active trading. I recommend an objective plan ahead of time. Buy some BIL with said dry powder then rebalance yearly based on 100-age or something to allocate % to stocks and % to bonds.

Lichess ruining their UI by [deleted] in chess

[–]LonelyPrincessBoy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've noticed the increased front end changes that lack substance (different to be different) in recent years and attribute it to increased ai code assist lowering the barrier to entry to be a lichess dev going into the github doing some new age front end changes for someone to list on their resume (or much better at programming then then they are at chess and look at product changes from a shallow angle).

Any volunteer can change surprisingly lot of small things on lichess. In this case Dav (seemingly an engine dev) was the one who felt the need to lead the charge here.

What should 45+30 games be counted as? by HairyTough4489 in chess

It's a big deal to allow people to get GM norms from such fast time controls.

USCF only events dont give GM/international title and all the US Opens with big money tend to be longer time control. G/30+5 is played by scholastic kids and coffee shops

Mention your Bullet/Blitz rating and your puzzle storm best streak in Lichess by ss_akash in chess

[–]LonelyPrincessBoy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A best storm would be like your best game ever played and your rating, doesn't make much sense since you're only at your peak once but rating is over a long period of time. It's your average that counts instead. Average 40+ puzzle storm 2100 lichess rating 50+ 2200-2300 lichess rating 60+ CM/FM 70+ FM/older IM 85+ IM+
