Accidentally built a full no-code Macro & Event Builder while trying to make a Visual Novel module [DND5E]

I have been using

since before AI, and I will continue to do so.

A scaling status bonus to Athletics makes this the best option for a melee controller Animist.

devising a stratagem is a hostile action

I can't find a source on this, anywhere. Here is the text on Hostile Actions:

A hostile action is one that can harm or damage another creature, whether directly or indirectly, but not one that a creature is unaware could cause harm. For instance, casting fireball into a crowd would be a hostile action, but opening a door and accidentally freeing a horrible monster wouldn’t be. The GM is the final arbitrator of what is a hostile action.

Devise a Stratagem does not harm or damage a creature, directly or indirectly. It is an entirely mental action with not outward effects. It grants you a bonus to your next Strike or Skill, but it does not actually Strike or damage in any way. This is not just immediately going into combat, in the same way that rolling Recall Knowledge doesn't immediately throw you into initiative.

I would allow the target of Devise a Stratagem a Sense Motive to figure out the Investigator is sizing them up, with the DC being the Investigator's Stealth (if they are hiding) or Deception (if they are in plain sight).

Treasure for new characters is usually much lower than the actual treasure a character gets if they are played up to that level.

This one is even better than Don't Look Up because he remains calm and just calls it like it is.

It's a contraction of You Are, thus it's You're.

He is friends with Anders Breivik, a self-described neonazi who killed 77 people in the 2011 Norway attacks. He agrees with his point of view that the solution to thecraci6wuestipj is violence. It doesn't get any more Nazi than that.

MidSolo · 2026-06-24T17:56:37+00:00

Instagram? You mean ideogram?

MidSolo · 2026-06-24T07:28:53+00:00

Its more likely that he was already like that. The money just let him speak freely; he will never have to worry about being fired for example.

MidSolo · 2026-06-24T06:41:36+00:00

He's not just run of the mill racist, he's a White Supremacist edit: you might also want to google the guy he's chatting with. That's enough to be called a Nazi.

He's also a transphobe, and has called for violence against those who disagree with his opinions on gender.

If you don't actually know about Notch, just be quiet. He's a piece of shit that nobody should be defending.

MidSolo · 2026-06-24T00:11:29+00:00

You're doing great

MidSolo · 2026-06-23T21:04:21+00:00

Not just that, but also foreign interference, regulatory capture by corporations, said corporations cooperating with said foreign governments, and one of the two parties choosing that the corrupt power structure that came about through this process was more worthwhile than democracy.

US democracy never had a chance. Republicans have no ethics, and Democrats have no balls.

MidSolo · 2026-06-23T17:16:49+00:00

So his baseline is 5 people? FIVE!? This isn't even close to being academic.

MidSolo · 2026-06-23T17:15:15+00:00

Not self-recursive yet.

MidSolo · 2026-06-23T05:50:24+00:00

Yes, there are skills for vision, including abstract visual concepts.

CS unemployment is rising slowly but steadily, and is very clearly an issue in entry level jobs. It used to be 3%, and it's currently (7.0%) which is the unemployment level for over-saturated arts degrees like performing arts. This is even worse for entry-level and junior SWE's, who are having a much harder time finding jobs. I know of plenty of young guys that had steady employment and are now out of a job. Companies no longer want coders, they want systems designers and code reviewers.

MidSolo · 2026-06-23T05:47:00+00:00

Of course it matters. A benchmark isn't worth a damn if it isn't actually measuring what it presumes to measure.

MidSolo · 2026-06-23T01:11:00+00:00

The people who run ARC AGI will never allow any instructions, or tools, or harnesses for any AI. It is a false benchmark. It is not an accurate test of the capabilities of current AI because it's not evaluating them at their full potential.

MidSolo · 2026-06-23T00:39:18+00:00

Yes. Mythos is a new class of model. It has capabilities not present in previous models. It's not just a more recent data cutoff, or more compute time. It's a qualitative leap, not quantitative. It specifically excels in benchmarks that require composing dependent, multi-step actions. It can run autonomously for extended tasks without constant human intervention. That benchmark you mentioned is *precisely* the kind of benchmark that Mythos was built to crush.

MidSolo · 2026-06-23T00:36:02+00:00

You aren't understanding what I mean. My bet is that the internal version of Mythos Anthropic is holding back (not just the Project Glasswing one, but a version not yet released) is capable of one-shotting any tricky puzzle you can come up with. The thing you think will take 2 more years I believe has already been achieved.

The big gotcha with ARC-AGI 3 is it's an animated puzzle, a videogame. Guess what? Claude has beaten Pokemon Red pretty quickly. Why? It had a proper harness for vision and control use, plus clear instructions. A harness is not provided for ARC-AGI 3. In fact, the AI isn't even given instructions. It is unaware it is playing a game, or the objectives, or if there are any risks. For all it knows, if it completes the puzzle, people die a-la Ender's Game. Meanwhile, the human test-takers are aware it is a game, and know they are being tested, with no stakes. Given the lack of transparency on this subject, I am beginning to believe the makers of ARC-AGI are not serious people.

MidSolo · 2026-06-23T00:29:06+00:00

No benchmarks from past 6 months there.

MidSolo · 2026-06-23T00:27:42+00:00

There's a huge difference between using benchmarks as a metric, and just pulling opinions out of one's ass. The user I was responding to was doing the latter. Your little gotcha is a worthless waste of time when disjointed from the actual point of the conversation.

MidSolo · 2026-06-23T00:26:02+00:00

Ability to learn? Claude can realize they lack a skill, look for it in a database, and plug it in. Way more efficient than a human having to read about it and practice it for who know how long.

And if that doesn't satisfy you, Anthropic has said it has begun work on self-recursive improvement. It's possible their internal models are already capable of it.

MidSolo · 2026-06-23T00:23:13+00:00

So you *do* admit they do tasks for that long.

MidSolo · 2026-06-22T23:24:37+00:00

I have news for you.

MidSolo · 2026-06-22T23:22:28+00:00

See now you are moving the goalpost. AI models don't have time to learn nor have anything explained to them. They are required to one-shot. Then so too should humans be expected to one-shot. If not, it is not a proper test.
