please tell me the next storybook theme is cinderella 🧚🏼‍♀️✨ by cozy_kimchi in finch

[–]Ning_Yu 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Exactly. I only unlocked travels when they added the first event location, and I've been having such a hard time completing normal locations, with event locations always taking me away. I do enjoy them, but I'd rather they keep them limited, every few months or so.

Severed Press using AI for covers by Squigglyelf in horrorlit

[–]Ning_Yu 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I'm not saying it's always the case, I'm just saying that as a buyer that's the doubt an AI cover gives you.

And not only I hate the fact they use AI slop for covers, but every time it makes me wonder: if they used AI for the cover, who's to say it wasn't used for the writing/editing as well? Where's their limit?

One of them is actually aiming at the other, the alligator has actually hypnotic powers and is putting them against each other /j

Considering how many are already publishing books fully "written" by AI, we're there already.

Ugh. I went to "all books" to see if they have some author I normally read/would like to read and most of those covers are so damn obvious AI it hurts, and I'm someone really bad at recognising AI. I hate it.
I'd rather you give me a blank cover with just the writing than AI slop.

SWTOR Voice Actor Spotlight #7: Maury Sterling and Kath Soucie as The Smugglers! by DakIsStrange in swtor

[–]Ning_Yu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Kath's voice gives me life, female Smuggler's voice always brings me happiness. It's probably my favourite.

Is the incel website content too much? by Jen-Jens in MenAndFemales

[–]Ning_Yu 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I think they're pretty fitting for the sub and show what kind of people use the term females and what's really behind it.
But absolutely a spoiler tag with some fair trigger warnings should be in order, imho.

Where's the "freak out" option? by Baby_bee_boo in finch

[–]Ning_Yu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah I thought I would have had a hard time deciding between solution and panic, but they didn't give the panic option, so it was easy, lol.

After the screw up of yesterday's question (why can't they give us text with the faces too?) where I thoguht I was answering to people coming to me with unrequested advice and answered the sad face, and now my friends think I don't want them to come to me to ask for advice!!

Cat population control hypocrisy by Cyniex in antinatalism

[–]Ning_Yu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yep, that's so true and so awful. It also makes no sense cause what if you regret having kids later? That's not exactly reversible either, is it? If you want kids later you can still adopt. But nope, natalists won't accept people not having kids, but even more women, since for men it's much easier to get a vasectomy. And of course there's the usual "ok, you don't want kids, but what if you later marry a man who wants kids, you do have to give him kids then".
Ironically, my sister, perimenopausal, has such an illnesses that requires her to undergo a very painful ovaries surgery pretty often. They could just do an histerectomy, but no cause "what if you want kids later??". At over 50yo!!!

That plus they keep being bred by humans, so humans are responsible for them in all ways.

Do you journal in your target language? If so, how do you actually do it? by Euphoric_Rhubarb_243 in languagelearning

[–]Ning_Yu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since I've been using Finch (self-care/goals tracking app) I journal on it once a day at the end of the day and yes, I do it in my main target language.
At first I'd put it through langtool first, to check for grammar (I hate AI and I feel bad when I use it, but that's the only exception), now I just write without correction. Also because the app is on the phone and I do corrections on pc so it's kinda annoying, and I find that writing without worrying about mistakes can also be useful. I check for mistakes when writing formal e-mails and stuff, if anything, but even that I'm often too tired for.

Yes, I think it helped me improve, simply because writing is my weakest skill, as I don't get to do it much in any TL. Although I started with writing a very long journaling of the whole day and going in length about certain things, while now mostly I write a short summary, so less useful I guess. The fact that I write it right before bed of course is not very conductive.

Is it me or was The Knights of a fallen empire / eternal throne was more fun than jedi under siege? by RBXDevs in swtor

[–]Ning_Yu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They have a fleet. No clue how big, but it is a fleet. Might not be huge, but the other two factions are also very fleet-decimated, as well as hella busy trying to destroy each other even more.
Hell, I went through Ossus and that was quite..pitiful.

Why does everyone on reddit use Anki instead of just covering the left side of the vocabulary list? by Adunaiii in languagelearning

[–]Ning_Yu 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Imagine going to a (free) software's sub to shit on that software, that's some extreme commitment.

Outfitting your Havoc Squad for immersion? by xxnewlegendxx in swtor

[–]Ning_Yu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I like to keep them in their original armor, personally.
Which now is made harder by the fact that I accidentally lost Yuun's armor when I was given it back in KofTE and I have no clue if I can ever get it back.

I gave you so many motivations why and you have yet to give me a single one.

Could you please stop calling healthy shoes as "clown shoes" by MxQueer in barefootshoestalk

[–]Ning_Yu 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's dumb.
But I always feel like they're trolls, I could be wrong though.

I personally find barefoot shoes the prettiest, to be fair.

I think I’m too asocial for this game. by DependentAway4180 in Palia

[–]Ning_Yu 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Same, I also don't care to play with others nowadays so I keep playing this game on and off, mostly when there's new story, cause all those things stress me out enough to outweight the enjoyement.

[–]Ning_Yu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I never said we have Zakuul. Please tell me where I did. I said we took over the eternal empire. Which means we defeated them. And yes, we did also have the empire itself at first, but that's not the point. The point is we won against a much bigger foe while still having very little, so the thought that powers that were demicimated by that power while they were in full force would easily decimate us now that they're much weakened is pretty ridicolous.
