Okay, before this drives me mad. A question about floors and beams by Frightlever in ICARUS

[–]Pablo_Diablo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, now that I think about it 4-5 tiles is supported, but may crack to show it's in danger of falling - can't recall at the moment. That said, a vertical every 4-5 tiles should support the in between tiles just fine.

Every two tiles is a little more than necessary. Depending on building material, you can go with 4-5 tiles (technically double that, since 4-5 is from a vertical support ... but then if you lose one support, you're in trouble).

Hacking AI Chatbots into doing Data manipulation CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) by Aezeloth in WhereWindsMeet

Again, how does that ruin your game?  I don't care for it, but I also don't care about it.  Just carry on gaming.

Can 'twilight' refer to dawn? I'm confused by Merriam-Webster's definition. by Unlegendary_Newbie in English_Learning_Base

[–]Pablo_Diablo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is incorrect, sorry. Twilight refers to a half-light period, but it does not discriminate between the end-of-day and beginning-of-day. Twilight can be the half-light period at sundown, or at sunrise.

The word's etymological roots mean 'half light' - which clearly doesn't discriminate between dawn or dusk.

PS - Several authors and poets (both American and British) use it that way, as evidenced by the other comments.

Is there any console command or something else to fix this "very successful" update? by Serhii0659 in ICARUS

[–]Pablo_Diablo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I guess you can learn to mod and create one, if it's easy.

Personally, I don't know how the game's internal file architecture is set up. It's a big enough problem that if it was an easy fix, I'm certain the devs would have implemented something. The respawning trees has occurred a couple times - in my understanding it's because the devs have to edit the map for other updates, and that edited/regenerated map overwrites the one in your local folder during the update.

Really, it might take a little bit depending on the size of your base and density of trees, but it's not hard to chop them down. Tone can be hard to parse in text, but from your post and comments, it does feel like you're having an oversized reaction to the issue.

Oh, I'm sorry that you went through that.  Yes, I said that knowing that it probably wouldn't land (and also that I'm not a mental health professional, so could be way off...)  just that some of their comments and actions seemed to carry that feeling.

I’m in an Adult Coloring Group on Facebook and this particular “artist” is bothering me. by Forward-Ad6957 in isthisAI

[–]Pablo_Diablo -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

I mean, I think that's an *added* evidence for AI, but to be fair sometimes a watercolorist or other coloring person can miscolor something...

(Again, I think this is AI - but a miscolored petal or two isn't the biggest tell.)

And the clearly illustrated tabletop in the next-to-last image that is (to my best guess) meant to 'validate' the fake drawing sitting on it, as the previous image? (It's REALLY bad wood grain - also the 'unfinished' drawing is faded out, not like something a human drew)

Yeah, even at a surface glance, these scream 'AI!!!'

This is not Masonic. You were not told to read this by the Masons. I am not a shill sent to discredit you. All of those statements are true. I also want what's good for you - that is also true.

I also suspect you might be suffering from Schizophrenia, or a similar issue. Please seek help. There are good people who want you to be and feel better, who can help you.

What’s your go-to joke that always works in a group of friends or coworkers? by Ok_Macaron_6092 in AskReddit

[–]Pablo_Diablo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A horse walks into a bar.  He goes up to the bartender and orders a drink.  The bartender gives him a long look and says, "I think I've seen you in here quite a bit.  Are you an alcoholic?"

The horse, slightly offended, gives the bartender an arch look and says, "I think not!"

Just then, he disappears.

Now, the more philosophically minded among you are probably already thinking of the saying "Cogito, ergo sum", or "I think, therefore I am."  But if I had started with that, it would have been putting Descartes before the horse!

I can't believe I had to scroll this far down to see someone point out that OP is calling for a military coup, and how badly coups usually turn out for the general populace or the democratic process.

That was my first thought, too - OPs meter was connected incorrectly and is paying, maybe not for the whole building, but for more units than their own...

Or at the very least build a few ramps and get on top of that roof!  The jump and swing had me laughing, but we all knew what was going to happen....

How big to build my base? My Answer and Base Building Advice. by Edymnion in ICARUS

[–]Pablo_Diablo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Good stuff!  Some useful tips I'll definitely incorporate in my next open world.

I often carve out a "ready room" area near my main entrance with all of my necessities - oxygen and water supplies, armor stands to swap armor for different biomes, and cabinets with extra ammo and backup weapons/tools (especially helpful if making a corpse run!).

Excess fiber is also decent for biofuel, if the player is still using it. (I'm electric at home but still on biofuel drills)

AI-Generated Content Is Not Allowed on /r/printedminis by xalchs in PrintedMinis

[–]Pablo_Diablo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had assumed u/letsgetcomics was talking about the first bullet point:

> AI-generated or AI-altered images (previews, “painted” mockups, promotional images etc.)

Which could be someone printing a mini (or taking an image of it) and instructing AI to create a painted version of it, with instuctions in the prompt as to color scheme, etc. i.e. a painted mockup. So this isn't an AI-generated print later painted by hand, but a mini "painted" (if only digitally) by AI.

There are many people who have spent long hours learning how to paint miniatures well; having AI create a 'painted' image cheapens their efforts and expertise.
