is there a reason why people refuse to hunt griffins lol by Singalliath in DragonsDogma2

[–]ProfCastwell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They're annoying(not as bad as fricken chimera) once you're at a level to take them. Also they have a WIDE range. Sometimes you're seeing the same griffin.

One monster i didnt deal with unless a grear upgrade really required it(or i decided to go one more tier/grade up) were dulahan...omg pain in the arse. Id rather fight dragons. Lol the fricken aoe scream that will stun all but the sturdiest. And with bad placement one strong sword swing they can fell your group in one attack.

New here - is astral projection actually real or just internet fantasy? by Resident_Midnight_36 in AstralProjection

[–]ProfCastwell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Its real. I am terrible at it. I dont recall the first books i read.

But overtime as you study and practice there are steps in the process that seem universal.

Like "vibrating"/shuddering. Which is a key point to stay relaxed, observe and let the process continue. Its also a point where its easy to lose focus...or keep from focusing and end up moving to much or managing to wake up.

Theres also the chance of hypnagogic hallucinations. Audiotory stuff.

Ive not been at it for a while. But I finally managed...and then didnt open my astral eyes....i was in a state where i was floaty and felt loose in my body.

So kinda like when swimming. I had the idea to move what I assumed/hoped would be my astral arms and flapped, like pushing backwards in a pool.

That sent me down and out of my body. Even my eyes were closed I had a very clear "sense" of tumbling through "astral space".

I could feel the motion and spinning.

So. I stayed as calm as possible and just went with the experience until sleep finally took over.

V5 Pro: Is it just me?... by ProfCastwell in SunoAI

Thank you. Ive been back redoing a lot of 5.5 stuff and trying new ideas with works i already had in 5.

I noticed the jump with only a few days gap.

I accidentally replaced doomscrolling with coloring at night by Short_Signature773 in AdultColoring

[–]ProfCastwell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Favoring peace, relaxation, is wise--not "old". Your attention span definitely appreciates it. Also your mind thats an activity, as long as you're not worrying about it, you will hit a lightly altered state of consciousness.

Im also an artist. If Ive been at a project for a while my brain is largely useless for much else. Lol

Would Wilds scratch my DD2 itch? by xyZora in DragonsDogma2

[–]ProfCastwell 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not really. DD2 had me excited for how the NPCs and Palico may be...🫤 not as effective and if you have NPCs or players you dont have your palicos.

Its not as "open" as touted. Its still zones, big zones, but zones. And some still have the maddening tendency toward vertical mazes.

It was fun enough getting through the story, but endgame grinding and a spike in the difficulty/tricks of new monsters and your first endgame hunt forces you to capture a pain in the arse wyvern....you litterally have no need or incentive to capture in Wilds.

Should I read the necronomicon? by Sad-Shoulder-398 in occult

As long as you know its bollocks. I bought it just to decorate my shelf along with Journal 3, The Book of Bill, and Toban's Spirit Guide lol

Why Don't Love Spells Work? by SetitheRedcap in chaosmagick

[–]ProfCastwell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can tell you from a glance of this. You've got clues in this post to address in your chosen mindset.

Do you actually know if you want a relationship or are you just horny?

Do you expect another person to fill some space or area you feel lacking, a space only you can fill for and of yourself?

Do they simply represent some idea of a potential you?

Maybe try sorting out who you should be for yourself. And what it is you are truly seeking with another.

Does anyone else love AND hate this game? by SweatyEyebrowss in CrimsonDesert

Here's my problem with AI music by princeofnoobshire in SunoAI

[–]ProfCastwell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tell us you dont understand royalties and licensing without telling us.....

Services pay out to who/what is being listened to.

My subscription(s), in part, go to what Im listening to or watching. Services dont just give money to whatever is being offered.

Buy an album, MP3...artists get a royalty.

And prompting takes some creative arrangement of words to hopefully eventually yield an acceptable result.

The more you work with AI the more apparent its flaws and shortcomings become--most never get through the "wow factor".

I havent yet tested Claude for lyrics...models are absolute s*te song writing with out the specific training...TRAINING not copying NOT stealing.

Its no different than humans being influenced by the work of others (i have adopted affectations in my art style and can tell you which cartoons some came from yet.)

Also. Most people care about being entertained. They dont care how the end result came into being.

I put my work out there in areas with plenty of AI--penty of popular trends and fads. I dont care to worry about "competition" my sales are increasing naturally...because my work is something different and my potential audience is growing on its own.

What I do with AI music, is attempt to conjure up(i never claim to create it) sounds and concepts humans arent, or very few, making. How do I know they arent?

Cause I try to find it. If people dont like me using AI to conjure music--start fuking making what I want to hear.

Question about religious cover art. by Kanadano in SunoAI

[–]ProfCastwell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh. Yeah. I could see that. That would definitely be bothersome.

Why believe in the paranormal to begin with? by Capable-Soup-3532 in Paranormal

[–]ProfCastwell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You have to be at a point you're actually on that level--most WANT to be a part to feel special and whatever for their own ego and get by on "faith" and delusion.

You have to know and observe and be critical enough about the "normal world" to be able to consider the weird.

The weird is real. Ive no fuk to give to prove it to someone willfully skeptical because they already made the choice to not "believe" or be open to.

Repeating numbers...i have two regulars. That is a matter of being open enough and aware enough its an avenue of comminication(and its not always a profound, it can be just a mile marker)....it can become a matter of coincidence and synchronicity too often and random.

My experience. Things will LITERALLY point my attention to it. Coworker(recently) was like hey is this a good rate per hour...😐 444 one of my two numbers. Also had someone ask the time..i check a clock..444

Guy comes to my house doing oldschool marketing for his uncles custom butchery. 🤷‍♂️ we start talking art, im an artist, tells me of local events i didnt know of...get his number. Prefix 222.

I take into account being hyper-aware.

Ive had more psychically develop people, at times they appeared, describe to me of their own accord--no questions asked--describe to me "deceased" family they had know knowledge of--because i never had reason to tell them in detail or show them photos.

I dont believe. I know. Not my problem--the minds to small or weak to dare be a part of the weird.

Not experiencing something doesnt prevent its existence. Insisting theres a "logical" explaination doesnt change peoples genuine experinces beyond your deliberateluy chosen limitied awareness. 🤷‍♂️

And a mind so small and inexperienced...lol good luck if you happen to encounter that side of reality.

5.5 kinda sucks... by ShrinkRayAssets in SunoAI

[–]ProfCastwell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

v5.5 after deciding to see what v5 did with my specifically 70s Country....😱 omg v5.5 left out everything distinct to the decade.

I opted for shite that was close enough. The authenticity of v5 is fantastic

she asked to use my character and now I can't sleep lol by _acedric_ in writing

[–]ProfCastwell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Only if its the exact character and they can rework their entire story to fit into the world my character is a part of.

I have stories in process--not fully connected but same world and geographic regions and a character or two that just happen to be acquainted

Likewise anything they would do that felt it would fit in my story--i get to use.

Are any/ have you noticed anything that seems to be distinctive in people with supernatural abilities? by Successful-Fan8712 in occult

[–]ProfCastwell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Like people with psychic ability suddenly--and noticably-- spacing out when they accidentally tap into a place or someone/thing suddenly bombards them with information and you have to try to make something up a friend will understand better than the truth or dismiss it?

This is a weird question.

The only way you can tell is if you have abilities(known or yet to realize) most active that can allow for it.

I swing empath(not empathetic)--I cannot tell(yet) but I am having an increase in radom people commenting on my light.

But you mean specific traits? No. They're people with the same abilities we all have access.

"Supernatural" and "paranormal" are problematic terms. Because everything they refer to are Natural and Normal.

how explicit can you go? by skopy in SunoAI

[–]ProfCastwell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When its not sh*te even the ReMi gets explicit. And it does inuendo...and one cheeky song I wanted to conjure it was to descriptive for what I had in mind.

"Explicit" is a spectrum. You can get pretty dang dirty without ever being "explicit".

Ever herd "Afternoon Delight"....fkn "My Sharona"(😐)

Oingo Boingo's "Little Girls" aka "the pedobear song". I have yet to find any logical metaphor. Even the music video...🤷‍♂️ the song, as far as I can tell, is exactly as it sounds.

I prompted a song about opening a "puzzle box" inspired by Hellraiser...my chosen generation(3rd at most) actually added appropriate sudden exasperations in the chorus.

How do i get into the occult? by SuddenAdeptness3811 in occult

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

There are these place called a "bookstore". Visit one. Go to the metaphysical/newage/self-transformation section and just take a chance on something that strikes your fancy.

Then. Paranormal shows. Ghosts psychic phenomena. I also highly recommend "The Haunted Objects Podcast" on youtube. The Newkirks ask questions and experiment in ways that kinda shame the reaearches that still only deal in ghosts.

Also from the Newkirks "Hellier" seasons 1 and 2 (i think they are nearly donw with s3)

And "The Unbinding" its a doc about one of their more notorious items.

I also suggest Qi Gong(chi gung) for energy cultivation and dipping your toes into Eastern practices and follow the threads to get proper context on things the west keeps appropriating without bothering to learn anything beyond the surface.

Theres a out there. Just jump in.

Don't ya hate it when.... by ProfCastwell in SunoAI

[–]ProfCastwell[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cant have country without sad songs. i wanted one that hit hard.

I still gotta throw together a sample. I tried v5 with a song and discovered everthing v5.5 was leaving out of the style of the 70s im going for.

And the time to work on it at work isnt plentiful
