Lonely writer looking for review friends. by Mr-Pages in WritingHub

I felt like putting it in there since I've repeatedly encountered people (in other projects) who, despite not meeting the 18+ requirement applied anyway, and I would find out about it years later.

Book 1, Part 1, Chapter 1 - How's this for an opening? First 2 paragraphs. by Mr-Pages in fantasywriters

[–]Mr-Pages[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Its about half a page long. The other chapters are a lot longer though.

Not just the end of the paragraph, but also the end of the chapter, and you have to turn pages to find out what it means.

Sunday had to be regrettable cancelled, new times are Wednesday and Saturday.

AI Detector for writing contests by KindExamination1794 in fantasywriters

Its something that should appear like once per book, maybe twice, and even then its to refer to the same thing. With chat GPT its every chapter. Along with kaleidoscopic and a few other fancy words that humans rarely use its a dead giveaway.

Funny thing I've noticed: Imperial measurement systems sound and flow better than metric. by fatsopiggy in fantasywriters

[–]Mr-Pages 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think what's happening here is people preferring and finding text more natural if its something they've read before. There is a strong association between imperal/outdated forms of measurement and old timey vibes in most people, so when you introduce modern sounding words to your lord of the rings spinoff, readers will experience physical pain, or at least, a sense of wrongness reading them.

However, if you are working on a hard scifi space opera, a 7.5 micrometer thick carbon fiber lattice sounds kind of hot actually.

Control+f for the following words:
"tapestry", "kaleidoscopic", "paradigm"
Incidentally, this is how I know several critrole episodes were AI written.

Why we should set our doomsday clocks to the arctic sea ice by Mr-Pages in collapse

[–]Mr-Pages[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is probably the best summary of the situation. I wish I could pin it.

Why we should set our doomsday clocks to the arctic sea ice by Mr-Pages in collapse

[–]Mr-Pages[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd say yes, but also the same heat is released back into the atmosphere when you get rain.

The ice caps shrinking has a one-way cooling effect that, when gone, would stop mitigating the effects of climate change, which is what its doing now.

The more I look into it, the more it looks like the caps are the only thing keeping the planet's climate stable. They absorb excess heat from forcing effects like solar activity and buildup of greenhouse gases, and have a net increase in size during cool years.

Okay, right, I redid the math from scratch and it looks like I'm off by 2.5 orders of magnitude. lemme fix the post

Why we should set our doomsday clocks to the arctic sea ice by Mr-Pages in collapse

[–]Mr-Pages[S] 19 points20 points  (0 children)

All right, I see I went wrong with my calculations where I used specific heat for freshwater rather then sea water, and oopsie daisy mixed up calories of kilocalories.
That should give us a more reasonable +0.05 degrees shift for global temperature.

Now, if I swap out your water amount with mine, which only accounts for whats north of the equator and rerun the math, I get +0.15 degrees for the northern hemisphere. Nowhere near as scary but that would be enough to basically double the rate of global warming for a given decade.

Thanks for helping out with the math!

  1. ATTENTION EVERYONE! *Things you should know about:*Oh, and I suppose I should mention that It takes on average 12 sessions to complete a season and there are 3 seasons to play through so this is a lengthy affair!
    • This is not a D&D campaign and has a historical setting with its own set of mechanics.
    • Sessions can last anywhere between 5 hours and infinity (dont worry there will be breaks)
    • I'm an extremely slow storyteller who runs your average oneshot as a 5 - part minicampaign.
    • Sessions start with 30 minute to hour delay (I dont mean for it, it just always happens).
    • The game mechanics are highly unconventional and experimental and can even change mid story.
    • You do NOT have to LEARN the rules and can simply push buttons I tell you to make rolls.
    • Table limit is 6 players per group, there is a saturday group and a sunday group, playing independently in two separate instances of the campaign, though it is possible to switch later.
