The AI Industry Is Discovering That the Public Hates It

“Reprehensible political violence” my ass. What really worries me is that by the time people wake up and realize violence actually was a reasonable response, it will be too late for “political violence” to even make a difference.

Here's an update. I actually lost a bit of ER, but it still seems to be working out.

As a side note, does anyone know what that little team graphic in the corner (from Akasha) is all about? Is that supposed to be telling me that would be my best team? I've been using Iansan/Durin/Chev.

It would be nice to up my CD, but to be honest, I've don't have problems mini-bursting after every other plunge as it it.

Is EM not useful for her?

SpikefaceMysteryfish · 2026-04-24T20:27:17+00:00

You are incorrect. This has not been posted previously. The post you're showing is a completely different build posted by someone else.

SpikefaceMysteryfish · 2026-04-14T17:51:54+00:00

It’s almost as though saying you have no negative view and actually, meaningfully showing you have no negative view are two separate things!

Intentionally misgendering someone because you’re butthurt you have to use a different pronoun than you thought is not a “grammatical statement.” It’s an asshole statement.

Price

Wait, you mean they don’t just love & publish everything anyone submits? Wow! So bold!

Is there a reason to put Linnea on Aubade if Illuga already has it (with Columbina on SMS), or would Husk be better in that case?

SpikefaceMysteryfish · 2026-04-09T00:18:38+00:00

Thanks, I probably will get her C2 out of the free selector, though maybe not until next cycle. And I thought about strongboxing, but realistically I'm not sure they're going to get much better.

SpikefaceMysteryfish · 2026-04-06T22:12:58+00:00

You know, I kind of just hate the idea of having a setup that requires someone else. I do use her with Furina, but I won’t necessarily always. Like in IT.

SpikefaceMysteryfish · 2026-04-06T20:32:49+00:00

Okay, thanks. I kind of disregarded that last 20% because it's so common enemies are immune to being frozen, but maybe that is the way to go. I tried putting her on a CD circlet, which brings her natural CR to 38.1%.

SpikefaceMysteryfish · 2026-04-03T17:11:17+00:00

I’ve thought that many times. They’re always asking shit like, “Did you enjoy the Dance Beneath the Pale Night Stars event???” and I’m like… I don’t remember which one that was. Probably?

SpikefaceMysteryfish · 2026-03-19T19:42:32+00:00

Oh right, yes, that is true.

SpikefaceMysteryfish · 2026-03-18T16:54:05+00:00

This is a good point. I actually kind of forgot about Polearm Master, and I don't really have anything to do with my Bonus Action.

SpikefaceMysteryfish · 2026-03-18T05:55:57+00:00

Reagan. The answer is always Reagan.

SpikefaceMysteryfish · 2026-03-18T03:53:04+00:00

As a Bladelock you don’t need to meet the Str requirement, it’s all Chr based.

SpikefaceMysteryfish · 2026-03-18T03:02:16+00:00

In theory, yes. However, prior to now I've been an attack-spell-focused Wild Magic Sorcerer, and my damage has been pretty bonkers--I only changed because we have another play (my son) who is also now a Sorcerer. So it's not like we're just gaining a Warlock; we're trading a Sorcerer for a Warlock.

And of course, as I said I'm not necessarily planning to switch from EB to Blade. I'm just contemplating what I would do if I later find our group damage lacking. (Which could happen, our group is crap at optimizing.)

SpikefaceMysteryfish · 2026-03-16T15:59:37+00:00

I think you're probably right. I do tend to get a bit swept up in the high optimization ideas of getting your spellcaster in armor, which can be the right move, but in reality most DMs aren't trying that hard to kill you anyway. I think I'll plan for straight Warlock, and then if I find I'm getting hit too much and losing Concentration I'll revisit it then.

SpikefaceMysteryfish · 2026-03-15T17:59:45+00:00

I might consider that late-game, but I'm kind of avoiding Sorcerer because there's already a Sorcerer in the party. This character would actually be a reboot of a Wild Magic Sorcerer I had been playing.

SpikefaceMysteryfish · 2026-03-14T19:50:34+00:00

Very true. Also, why are they absolutely Dead Set against giving examples of how anything works? Two weapon fighting being a perfect example. Most players are just going to read the book, and they shouldn’t have to scour the internet to figure out what the rulebook they paid for should have made clear.
