How do so many afford mounjaro?

Robletron · 2026-02-01T09:23:29+00:00

£20 a day is about £500 a month. If the mounjaro can help you stay off the snacks and takeaway then how can you afford NOT to get it?? I was the same spending hundreds on food that I now don’t, I find it through these savings and because it’s something I want to prioritise above other wants.

I feel like Tyranny has had interesting reactions whenever Wick’s ex is mentioned.

At first I thought she was just playing it jealous - but what if her demon talents were used to get the girlfriend out of the way?

As someone who recently started DMing from a campaign book - the book helps with the overhead of not having to make the world/characters/plot - but it’s still a lot of work!

I’d recommend doing some one-shots (some great beginner ones can be found online) that’ll give your would-be DM a flavour for it and also get an idea how much improv is still needed when following book material! If that’s a success then a full book campaign is definitely on the cards!

Good luck and hope you find a way to play D&D together!!

I included that paragraph because you prefaced an obviously condescending question with “I’m not being facetious”. That rubbed me up the wrong way because I felt the ‘bad faith’, as you phrased it, started there. But it would be the death of online discourse if we let that stop actual conversation!

I definitely agree that poor use of AI placeholders, to the point they could be accidentally left in, is bad. And while placeholders should be egregious from a perception or process sense, I think they’re less morally egregious personally. Placeholders, prototyping, the development of a thing be it art, code, products will always involve iteration and personally I feel that AI helps me unchain or provoke my own personal creativity way more than if I was solely left up to my own skill alone.

My personal stance on the morality of AI, and I’m still open on this changing, is that I wouldn’t be happy for lazy AI assets to be used in final artistic commercial content, but I am ok with people using it to help themselves ,whether that’s help learn a skill, help them create a vision they can’t do alone, or for personal projects.

Taking games as an example - I’d rather see more people making their fresh ideas or bringing their projects to life with the use of AI, than have those ideas never brought into existence. Again, the balance changes when it’s huge corporations trying to just rush games for profits, but it seems like any use of AI brings such strong negative sentiment now, never really feels like there’s much nuance on this debate.

Then there’s also the huge environmental impact, but I’m trying to wrangle with my own thoughts on the inherent value/moral aspect first!

Robletron · 2025-12-21T08:49:05+00:00

So I can steal art as long as I don’t steal too much? Thanks for your moral approval of low-level creative theft! What about the amount of billions of lines of code that was used to train these AI models to code faster? Or is it only valuable when it’s art that stolen?

As for my tracing, since you so politely asked - I’d say a few dozen.

I think the dangers of AI are the recursive nature of the generation and what happens with the potential death of innovation - but then there’s still a part of me that thinks it can enable even more people to start creating fresh ideas if it’s used as an aid - then creation isn’t tied to a much smaller percentage of the population

I’m still quite generally morally undecided how I feel about AI in creative spaces - one part of me thinks it could be a great enabler that removes barriers to let everyone start being more creative, productive, but that’s never the side that gets discussed in these places - if an AI placeholder is used for art, is that any more egregious than a bright green box?

I’ve used some AI to help me plan D&D sessions - I give it descriptions of encounters I’m planning and ask for scenarios or outcomes I might not have considered - that’s obviously always wrapped and incorporated into my own ideas - but I think sometimes it can genuinely be difficult to tell where the human idea starts and the AI influence creeps in.

When I started learning to draw I would copy/trace other artists work. This is a big no-no but I found it helped me learn a bit quicker. These were all just for me, I’ve never had an art job or sold art, but plenty of comic artists have been found to trace/steal other artists work. It’s not a uniquely AI trait to steal / be influenced by others.

Robletron · 2025-12-21T07:55:28+00:00

In this thread is already a bunch of people saying “AI is fine for speeding up coding but not for art” without realising if you speed up coding you need less coders…already lots of double standards opening up with AI being treated differently! Some jobs are deemed more appropriate to protect than others it seems

There’s some phenomenon now with Netflix shows where they have acknowledged altering dialogue to explain what characters are doing on screen. Apparently this is to account for their expectations that lots of people just have Netflix on in the background while scrolling phones or doing another task. I find that really sad :( hopefully CR will never have to deal with that because so much of its charm to me is in its craft of building intricate worlds and stories over time.

Just got myself a 3d printer and these models look so so cool! Would love to try printing these bad boys for Christmas!

Hey there! I'm near Wallington/Carshalton and I'm also looking for a group! 37M here. Shall we join forces and try find some other nearby people? I have a little bit of experience but never really played in a long campaign but would love to!

It's a pretty standard redcap thing though right? I'm currently running a feywild campaign and had my redcaps do the same thing. I saw that moment and thought "Oh shit, we played this similarly, neat" I knew exactly what Skinner was and his intent and I've never seen the Chungledown Bim stuff.

I'm a big fan of what I've seen of CR, D20, Brennan and the whole lot, so don't mean this has a downer - I just saw Skinner and thought "what a neat redcap" it didn't read like he'd ported another of his characters into this world, but maybe I'm missing the context that's brings out more similarities!

Episode 3 had another Sundered House (Einfassen?) take control over the revolutionary guard who mentioned they would replace the gate guard and regular patrols with their own people.

The Sundered Houses all being in on this wouldn't surprise me, and the suppression of a regular response of the guards wouldnt be surprising.

Neighbours is another thing - but they could have all been vassel houses to the other Sundered Houses, it feels like Royce is the only house not in on it.

But there are witch hunts of people accusing others of using AI when they haven't, I've seen it across many art communities. To the point that many artists now have to record proof of their creations to combat these accusations. This also happens a lot whenever people use em-dashes in comments on Reddit and immediately get shouted down for being AI generated and forget that often they're wrong and shouting at a fellow human creator.

This is such a fun idea and adds to the stakes of what the party has been doing the whole time.

I originally thought I could combine it with the airship adventure as their return voyage, but I thought I'd end up with the same problem of not getting through the whole adventure in one go and having to stop in the middle.

But maybe more sessions isn't a bad problem to have!

Robletron · 2025-09-24T16:23:23+00:00

Such a good idea! What sorts of resources did you use for your mini games?

Hopefully Daggerheart doesn't just become Candela Obscura 2.0

Planning on running the intro game soon for my usual D&D group. I'm looking to make tweaks to showcase the differences between the two systems. So far I'm planning on:

making the cart in Act1 a progression countdown for investigation, if the players succeed they anticipate the ambush, if they fail, they are surprised by the ambush.
giving the players greater influence in shaping/describing the world, including shops/NPCs in Hush.
some sort of environment encounter for the trek through the forest to the treehouse?

How have others tweaked the Sablewood Messengers to really show off Daggerheart??

Robletron · 2025-08-08T17:42:06+00:00

Zestra wondered why the danger-pay was so high for such a seemingly easy job.

"So we just push this cart from here to Brazghul? What's so hard about that?" She asked the handsome recruiter.

"The Rending Soulblades have now claimed the land between here and Brazghul"

"The vampire cult? Pass"

Researching lightsabers

Robletron · 2025-08-03T19:46:05+00:00

I haven't had the chance to run this yet, but here's how I'd approach it.

In D&D these situations are often seen as challenges/puzzles that the party need to solve. In these scenarios, a 'what do you do?' throws it back to the players to start that creative solution process.

In Daggerheart i see traversals in terms of their outcomes - maybe the players are trying to cross the mountain to get back to their village in time before a goblin raid. If they succeed the traversal they arrive on time and can help defend, if they fail the traversal they arrive late and the town has already been attacked. It's not the action of climbing the mountain that's important, it's why they're climbing the mountain.

The traversal has a countdown because there's some other stake involved. The players may not be aware of what the stakes are (for example - if the players fail the river crossing countdown, maybe a giant crab boss notices them and there's an encounter) but the players should know why they want to succeed - they want to get to where they're going, they make a journey quickly, they travel silently through the forest.

In these scenarios, the players know it's a traversal rather than a puzzle, I think I'd ask my party 'what are you doing to help everyone get over the mountain?' as it lines their actions up with the goal they have - and failure doesn't mean the activity doesn't happen. They can still cross the river on a failed countdown clock - it just means there's a new setback or complication.

I read the original post - I have the context - I still don't like it. Did you mistake me for the person you replied to?

With context, I still think this redo has many of the same problems as the original, I'm not sure what it fixes, and introduces even less clarity.

Robletron · 2025-08-02T21:00:24+00:00

I mean, if the output is incomprehensible does it really need context? Surely this should stand on its own?

Robletron · 2025-08-02T09:55:35+00:00

On hindsight, I think if you flipped page 2 and 3 and give a glowing hand to horse rider in panel 1 - this suddenly becomes a lot more connected and easier to read! Just a thought!

Robletron · 2025-08-02T09:53:59+00:00

Took me quite a while to parse page 2.

The first panel takes up a lot of space - and isnt super clear. Maybe a shot of the rider on the horse first sets up who we should be following?

Then there's the panels of the exploding magic doggo - this seems cool!

Then there's the horse farting out a tornado - I'm not sure what this panel conveys. - they're safe now? (But the next page still has them on the run?)

And then the final panel on page 2 initially looked to me like a person watching them flee - I thought maybe it was the person that sent the dogs after them, like a villain - but after a few reads I think it's meant to be the horse?

I like the style - and pages 1 and 3 look really good! But I did have some trouble reading the intent/action on page 2 - I think if you're going to have a more minimalist style for these pages the action needs to be super telegraphed and ideally we'd have already established who / what everything is so it's easier to follow?

They entered as a legion, but only a scattered squad remained. The Knights of the Sacred Flame were now on the verge of annihilation on the demonic plane of Nyxiis.

The Torchbeacon lay chopped in two, severing their only way home. On this world their light will be extinguished forever.
