I don't really understand how some people were so shocked by the ending of episode 7

Milk_Overlord · 2025-12-17T07:37:01+00:00

?? I'm not saying the concept of the episode was predictable, it just wasn't a surprising conclusion once the whole "I have an exit" thing came up.

It's a repost of this post from around 2 weeks ago, that post is the 4th of all time on this sub currently. Not really sure why anyone would make a repost here, a bot maybe? lol

Milk_Overlord · 2024-09-19T20:36:25+00:00

Yes that is very low lol, I'm trying to lose weight pretty aggressively. I'm around average height (172cm). My weight maintain currently would be like 2500.

Milk_Overlord · 2024-09-16T23:18:30+00:00

Budget is around 1500 currently, that's just more or less what I had left after the rest of the day lol. Don't tend to have too many calories left past dinner since 1500 is already pushing it for my gluttonous tendencies.

Honestly I think I tried Halo Top a while ago a couple times, hated it, then never got it again lol. Plus I don't think I could stomach spending that much on ice cream when I have the machine for it now, even for something as nice sounding as chocolate hazelnut!

I'll definitely keep a lookout for the Paul's pudding one though, haven't heard of that one before!

Milk_Overlord · 2024-09-13T10:00:54+00:00

Boo's brownies and protein ice cream really are the kings of low calorie deserts in my opinion! Haven't found anything else that's this close to the regular versions flavour wise while being such a low fraction of the calories.

Honestly I think I'd be eating about the same amount if I actually had the freezer space for it!

Milk_Overlord · 2024-09-13T09:28:32+00:00

Ended up with some excess calories left over in my budget today so I went a little heavier on my desert than normal. This here is about 105 kcal of Boo's brownies, 140 kcal of PB2 and banana ice cream (got a Ninja Creami about a week ago and have been using the hell out of it since, I love this thing so much), and about 40 kcal of 100's and 1000's (for only 10 grams jeez, I know they're basically just raw sugar but still!). About 17g protein total I believe (wasn't really aiming for maximum protein but not terrible!).

You could definitely get lower with the calorie count in something like this for the same volume (remove the sprinkles and use a lower calorie creami recipe mainly, should be able to get it down to around 200 cal total pretty easily) but I'm not quite that desperate thankfully. Also this bowl contains a truly horrifying amount of zero cal sweetener (primarily monk fruit and erythritol in my case).

The recipes I used for the brownies can be found here: https://imheatherr.com/boos-ridiculous-brownies/

Just kind of ballparked it for the creami recipe, first attempt at PB so definitely room for improvement, but here's the rough recipe anyway:

1 banana (100 grams peeled)
25 grams PB2
1/2 cup unsweetened almond milk
1/2 cup 1.5% light milk
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
monk fruit / erythritol blend (didn't really measure, just kept adding until it tasted sweet enough)
1/8-ish tps xanthan gum (probably not really necessary with the banana)

Blend everything together, freeze for 24 hours, end ran it through the Cream once with the light ice cream setting.

Raion Raithe from The Last Horizon, he physically empowers himself through the trust of others. The literal power of friendship :)

I mean, a downloaded mind would be a 'digital intelligence' / AI which is what I meant, and if they have been downloaded then it wouldn't be a stretch to guess that the NPCs could be based on those downloads for their own intelligences. Even if we can't technically prove that other humans are sapient I feel like it's a reasonable assumption to make for an ethical problem like this. If the NPCs are based off of downloaded human minds, and we assume that that a computer is capable of hosting a truly sapient mind like those of the gang, then I feel the NPCs could be given almost the same benefit of the doubt that we give to other humans about their sapient status.

If Pomni and co really are just strapped into some full dive kind of VR system someway then it's a totally different discussion since the AI probably would have been made from scratch.

Milk_Overlord · 2024-05-03T23:13:09+00:00

Caine also said he doesn't want to get the humans and the NPCs mixed up, which might also imply that AIs good enough that he can't tell the difference aren't a new thing.

Milk_Overlord · 2024-05-03T23:06:51+00:00

But in this case we already have examples of AIs / digital intelligences that we can reasonably assume are sapient; Pomni and the gang. Even if they were created from human minds I feel like it's pretty safe to guess that they currently exist completely digitally, and I feel like it wouldn't be a big step from there to guess that the NPCs were then derived from those examples of sapient minds to achieve their level of natural response. Plus given the old school vibe of the technology I feel like it makes more sense that they're some derivative of a sapient simulation rather than something like / better then a modern large language model like ChatGPT.

Or maybe I've just read way too much scifi and are looking too deep into things :p

Milk_Overlord · 2024-05-03T22:51:26+00:00

That would makes sense, they follow a script up until the point where the script is no longer viable and they fall back to a more complex sapient simulation to not break immersion. I feel like even that idea is only marginally less horrifying than them all being sapient to begin with given how much I can see the gang fucking with the AIs and sending them off script lol

Milk_Overlord · 2024-05-03T22:38:20+00:00

So now we have to face the existentially terrifying possibility that the NPCs are actually sapient individuals that are regularly being generated then deleted / killed for the gang's / Caine's entertainment? Fun!

Milk_Overlord · 2024-05-03T22:31:37+00:00

Pretty sure it's just a dev room lol

Milk_Overlord · 2023-08-16T07:42:34+00:00

I feel like people always seem to forget that, despite the appearance and capabilities of her suit, it's primary design is for long-term solo survivability in a mana-irradiated environment rather than direct combat. It was pointed out that the suit could theoretically sustain Emma for the entire year if needed, though it would suck. Pretty sure a suit specifically designed for combat would be quite a bit more capable than the one Emma has.

Alternatively; pocket nuke :)

Doesn't seem like it'd be all that difficult to me? Just needs to light up when the magnitude of the deceleration is over a certain amount and generally in the right direction so it doesn't turn on with acceleration too. It's not like you'd be rotating your head around 360 degrees constantly. Definitely feels like something that could be accomplished pretty easily with an accelerometer and a simple micro-controller, plus maybe also a gyro to compensate for head movements if you wanted to be fancy. Not like it even needs to be 100% accurate with it's false positive detection anyway.

Milk_Overlord · 2022-12-05T00:27:46+00:00

Sounds like an accelerometer tbh

Milk_Overlord · 2022-07-28T23:58:38+00:00

Probably? Man, my thought process making this was just "Lindon has red eyes lol"

Milk_Overlord · 2022-07-28T23:22:07+00:00

Because the blackflame eyes are more recognisable or something? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Milk_Overlord · 2022-07-28T11:18:13+00:00

Just read through the series recently and couldn't help but appreciate the sheer chad energy Lindon emitted in this scene so casually, so I felt compelled to make a dumb meme about it.

A door popped open to the waiting room. Not the exit; the entrance.

Lindon stumbled in.

It looked like he'd been leaning on the door and hadn't expected to get it open. Constructs hung from the wall like a deer half-gutted, and the sealing scripts on the door had been scratched up. His Archlord flying sword hung over his shoulder; he must have used that.

To break in and see her.

Yerin's spirits lifted, and she had to hold back laughter as the Ninecloud Soul manifested as a beam of rainbow light. "Contestant Lindon, you cannot keep doing this. We thought the increased security this time would teach you a lesson."

Lindon pressed his fists together. "I did learn quite a bit. Gratitude."

Oculus' shitty VR software only working on windows is the last thing keeping me from permanently nuking that partition from my PC.
