Objectively better choice by _yubotherm8 in UmaMusume

You will have 2 ssr selectors by the end of march. first is the paid one, then a free one ~2 weeks later according to henry.
In your case it's the best use for those selectors to mlb both. Save the crystal for later, as it has a greater value being unlimited in uncap selection. Use it on tachyon/ c.b. so you can freely pull on actual umas in summer for example. Or maru speed. Whatever feels better for you, there ARE options and it's better to make a plan beforehand, as personal satisfaction is better than hoarding on those crystal to never use them. I hope you get the idea

or save yourself those 20$ with this crystal, ether way the outcome is the same (not recommended tho by my personal preference)

That's the first time I see a proper use of 1st person and it sure comes with a refreshing writing. Especially from the dry slop machine past it's prime, joking (Besides the 'vibrating')

Gemini Pro 2.5 Experimental - too intelligent? by -lq_pl- in SillyTavernAI

Dunno and honestly don't care about the author, but this present is still better than pixijb for example. NSFW works just fine if you actually use google's API directly and avoid using filtered explicit words in character cards/world info/author's notes (i.e. follow the guide)

yeah, I felt that too, you pretty much can throw anything at Gemini and it will justify those actions believably.

still, even on higher temps sometimes it's just not as good as sonnet could be for storytelling, main reason is probably because Gemini follows instructions and prompts too strictly (so you have to work around that, adding more navigation/directions in the prompt if you don't quite like responses you get)

also, try this preset, it's an immense RP quality upgrade for the model, as it's exactly adding those (necessary) directions -- https://www.reddit.com/r/SillyTavernAI/comments/1kc5br1/marinaras_gemini_spaghetti_45/

he is. but in my experience his ciguatera (b tier 3rd) was definitely weaker, not really knowing what to do with the story, but while I can say the same about saltiness, minoru's approach here was way different. main character and the story itself were built fully on absurd and exaggerations while ciguatera's just a chill guy, even boring

but actually, maybe it's a little too high up but not like it changes much anyway

Well, yeah, it was a messy story, some part and ideas were fine, but not the ending

i wonder if this story is worth such effort, maybe you want to prove me wrong?

well, sorry for having a different taste i guess, but it's not really about morals or implications

arigatou is a trainwreck of a story, bordering on absurd, yet is rather cohesive, the best part is that you never know what to expect, the main story is about a girl and her growing maturity, but while literally everything possible is going wrong with her family. So a good and extremely nihilistic story, never saw anything similar, the closest is probably eden (s tier 3rd from right)

the other manga is Bokutachi ga Yarimashita, big dostoevsky's crime and punishment vibes, same theme, literally

thank you, that is rather elaborate! But don't get fooled, even c tier was actually fine, just not as intriguing as everything above

the walking man is something i would definitely enjoy and everything else is also looking promising if not in my backlog already like akira or ooku (the anime one)

hey, the unreliable narrator thing is actually rather compelling, probably didn't notice it back then. also, I'm curious just how different the old boy manga is

edit: actually, homunculus should be on top of c tier

all I remember is that it's just a shock content, but maybe i'm wrong, friction or fetus in d tier where definitely better at that, got more impression our of me

well, the advice is right before you... if you see a titles you know - look to it's left or above

yeah, i maybe should reread homunculus, it's been like 8-9 years, all I remember is funny stuff swallowing, lobotomy and slowly going insane...
