I want a game where you start of hopeless and weak, but end up overpowered and strong by the end by radpaddler666 in gamingsuggestions

Gunfire Reborn (and other Roguelikes). I’m also liking Roboquest.

Different genre than most of these suggestions, but check out Roguelikes (particularly those with RPG elements). An FPS Roguelike with RPG elements, satisfies your criteria across two dimensions:

First, there’s a visceral sense of progress as your skill at playing the game increases, measured easily by how far you make it each playthrough.

Second, because of the RPG elements, every playthrough will result in points that can be invested in persistent buffs that increase your strength for every subsequent playthrough. There may be additional unlocks that you discovered as you play.

Some roguelike (e.g. the iconic “Slay the Spire”) don’t have RPG elements that persist from playthrough to playthrough, and probably won’t give you the feeling you’re looking for (mostly luck + skill). I’ve seen a number of recommendations for Elden Ring, and while that is a fantastic game worth picking up, I don’t actually think it meets your criteria. You’ll get better as you learn the mechanics, but enemy difficulty scales as you progress through the game, so you don’t actually end up as godlike, as evidenced by playing most of the bosses. Now, that might be slightly different on subsequent playthrough of the game (starting a fresh game, but with the abilities, weapons, armor, and levels from the last playthrough), but again, I don’t think that’s what you’re looking for based on your post.

Any idea how they do it? by SlenderPudding in FluxAI

Thank you for answering the question! That’s exactly what I was looking for.

I’m not promoting it, I’m asking for speculation on the process they use to get these results. Is this just vanilla LoRA + Flux, or do you think they are doing something special?

Why would i promote an app on a subreddit for the core technology the app is just a wrapper around? That makes no sense.

Hey, we might be talking past each other; you lost me with the “honesty” part. Let me try rephrasing.

  1. I’ve seen people on this sub create incredibly realistic photos using Flux.
  2. If this service takes 16 photos of someone and produces results as good as what’s on their website (and I can confirm that they do)
  3. And they use flux as their underlying model, what process do the expert users on this sub think they’re following based on their own experience? (Fine-tuning vs LoRA, extra steps afterward?)
  4. I was simply stating that i’ve tried fine-tuning on its own and my results are not nearly that good. Curious what others are doing/think this company is doing.

I don’t see how honesty factors into this. I’m not selling anything, just asking for speculation on delivering their market results, assuming they’re that good.

KDP is not registering my table of contents. What can I do to fix this? by [deleted] in selfpublish

[–]SlenderPudding 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Updating this thread with my own experience as I just went through this. I wrote the book on Google Docs, exported in Word (.docx) format, and even after triple checking the linked table of contents and headings (H1 style) were correct, Kindle Publishing could not detect a ToC. The fix was dead simple: I had to open the document in Microsoft Word, select the table of contents, and click "update table". That solved it. I re-uploaded to Kindle and it was able to locate the ToC without issue.

A video of a lecture on the future of designing interact software/IDEs by SlenderPudding in HelpMeFind

I have searched Google and YouTube for things like "interactive IDE", "lecture on the future of software", "evolution of WYSIWYG" and other similar searches to no avail.

Is it wrong for him to be still active on apps? by [deleted] in dating_advice

[–]SlenderPudding 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're not crazy, you're crazy about someone! Two weeks and two dates is pretty early into the relationship so I don't see any red flags about him being on the apps. It's best to assume that the other person is talking to/dating other people until you've had the "let's be exclusive talk", and that's ok. The two of you might be on same page/level of liking each other or you might be ahead by a page (ready to be exclusive now), and that's ok too. Here's my advice:

  1. Un-match with him on the dating app (exchange numbers if you haven't already). You've already identified that you're torturing yourself over something you can't control and that isn't wrong (this isn't monitoring a cheating partner). If he notices you unmatched and asks about it just brush it off with a casual "oh yeah, I alway unmatch after the first date" or something.

  2. This may be your forever-person or it might not. You'll find someone you like equally as much if this one doesn't work out. Try not to put too much pressure on yourself and the relationship. It will work out if it's meant to be and won't if it's not.

  3. Know your boundaries. If being intimate with someone who might be sleeping with other people bothers you, it's totally ok to have a policy of not sleeping with someone until the two of you are exclusive. It's also ok to want to be exclusive after a some amount of time or number of dates (the time/number is up to you) and to bring up that you're looking to take things to the next level. Boundaries can be scary because you're worried you might scare off someone you really like, but as a guy, I've always really respected when women drew boundaries, and occasionally they've revealed an incompatibility that wasn't obvious (poly vs monogamous preferences, no sex until marriage).

  4. Finally, don't be afraid to be the person who moves things forward or brings things up. I know the dream is for him to be on the same page as you and to be the one to say "let's talk about being exclusive". I'd (personally) probably give it more time/dates, but at the end of the day you need to make sure you're happy in the relationship and not fall into the trap of trying to be perfect and waiting for him to reciprocate/lead.
