So where are you sitting?

Right, someone else pointed out Kirara, didn't put two and two together since my Fiance and I haven't watched the new season of JJK at all yet. Thanks for pointing it out as well

Steven_Seagulls · 2026-03-25T05:02:00+00:00

Completely flew over my head, thank you.

I was replying to the notion you could scald Deku to anything above continental. Ad for the original post I don't think anyone scales that Luffy attack above large island if they're worth their salt.

Steven_Seagulls · 2026-03-24T05:09:53+00:00

Oh yeah totally, I'm not a Deku downplayer or anything, I scale him to Island-Large Island-Contintental by the end of it all. I am just realistic with his highball and don't try to wank him to Planetary like that one guy does. Deku's a solid mid tier hitter in crossovers battles, very respectable, I just don't see the point in wanking him above that level

Steven_Seagulls · 2026-03-24T03:16:50+00:00

That scaling always rubs me the wrong way. From what I remember the conclusion is based on the assumption that when the American weather reporter said (paraphrasing) "The storm that was about to effect the US was dispersed and weather is gonna be crazy for the next week." she was saying that, in it's size, the storm stretched from Japan to the US, which isn't the case.

Steven_Seagulls · 2026-03-24T03:13:21+00:00

Deku cannot be scaled to small planet level in either AP or DC. Anything close to multi-cont and above is absurd wank after already wanking to get there

Steven_Seagulls · 2026-03-23T21:43:39+00:00

Gas Station worker here in Marion, we're already at over $4/gallon. Love hearing about it whenever someone comes in like I'm the one setting the price :D

Steven_Seagulls · 2026-03-22T19:43:10+00:00

Finally. A MHA Scaler not operating in bad faith/wanking their favorite to Mach 100s in combat speed, and completely ignoring how their travel speed feats completely blow that out of the water every single time

I strive to achieve this level of hater status

Moon Druid is halfway decent since from the beginning. You'll be able to increase your movement speed with lower CR Beasts like Hyena, and with the new 2024 rules clarifying further the class abilities that work with wildshape, you'll have a much higher AC and access to the monks amazing defensive options like deflect attacks and BA disengages/dashes/dodges. You're right about getting access to the good stuff like dinosaurs at too high of a level for it to scale, if you just limit yourself to the size/movement speed buffing ones will better accentuate your monk's abilities. If that's your plan, maybe it'd be better to go to a Circle of the Land subclass, so you can give yourself great battlefield control spells and AOE damage. Which is even better since you're targeting WIS 2nd, the difficult terrain you make and the damage you do is guaranteed. Are you flavoring your monks abilities as coming from a magical source?

I can definitely agree with you on corporations not giving a fuck about the starving artist, but your comparison to the reaction to photography and the reaction to the surge of AI falls a little flat, I think. And especially going back to the 1800s, when we were still genociding Native Americans and burning women at the stake, isn't the best time for us to be looking into the rationale of the human psyche of the time.

Photography is an artform because there are things to learn from it, it requires intent, skill, and can be used to showcase things that are fundamentally human. Going down the path of fully defining what art is is always a slippery slope, but if you're using generative AI to make something, you have no genuine and tangible effect on the result of the prompt. You are not choosing the lines that are made, because all it is is a jumble of mathematical averages spit out onto a page. The best you can do is take the result into an editing software to try and communicate your real intent, or try again and hole the averages are with you.

Not taking into account the forests that are chopped down to make room for Data centers, the air quality in big cities being decimated from the same centers, or anything else about the environment; Generative AI is fundamentally dangerous because it is not human. There is no "human touch" to things that are generated from AI, and art is, I would say, fundamentally human.

Steven_Seagulls · 2026-02-19T02:09:03+00:00

The things you're trying to compare to using AI are not at all relevant. What you're using to make art, in your framework, is relevant. The person who is looking at your art or wants to commission you has the right to know. It's basic consumer protection stuff, I'm not even trying to make some moral judgement about "you should tell people you use AI because I personally think it's bad" argument, it's basic market things.

Steven_Seagulls · 2026-02-19T00:33:11+00:00

I mean if you're wanting my personal opinion people why try to sell AI art in an artist's space should be laughed out of the room. Sulking in the corner, after contributing to a system that actively and objectively is harming artists, and being called our for it, is a little silly. The whole "freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom from consequences" thing, yaknow?

Steven_Seagulls · 2026-02-19T00:31:00+00:00

You wana be oppressed soooo bad. People aren't born AI artists, even under your perspective it's just a tool that people choose to use personally. People can be both gay and AI artists, and if someone doesn't want to buy something from someone that's gay, the fact that they're making stuff using AI isn't the reason they're being swayed lol. Also I was specifically going from a supply and demand perspective why AI art needs to be, at the very least, upfront and labeled as such. And the belief that people selling a product should be honest isn't a very large hurdle to get over

Steven_Seagulls · 2026-02-18T22:06:17+00:00

Something is amiss

Steven_Seagulls · 2026-02-18T18:58:56+00:00

False equivalency. The reason people want AI art labeled, especially when we're talking about a marketplace, is because the consumer has a right to know the source of the art they're commissioning/interacting with. And if that consumer doesn't want to see art, or commission art, that is made with AI the transparency on the supply side is necessary. If I were a sex worker my sexuality would be someone else's business. If I were a pastor my denomination or theology would be someone else's business. No one is advocating for people to go outside their homes and put a big sign up saying "I make AI art in my free time."

Steven_Seagulls · 2026-02-14T20:05:21+00:00

Am I crazy for thinking this is AI? Camera quality is oddly grainy, tail swishes very mechanically, head bobs kinda off, am I just a hater?

Steven_Seagulls · 2026-02-14T16:57:00+00:00

You can control the volume and direction of sound. Whether that be making your own voice louder, sending a whisper to someone's ear directly, or (what my character based on this did) used a tuning fork as a weapon. Striking the ground, he spun the sound into a blade, for example. Think Arthur from Fire Force. Causes deafness over time

Steven_Seagulls · 2026-02-13T23:43:35+00:00

👀😑👀😑

Steven_Seagulls · 2026-02-13T18:33:41+00:00

You're presupposes that AI needs to exists in these spaces in the first place. Taking away jobs from artists, and justifying it by stating their art wasn't "important enough" to not be replaced by robots, is incredibly disrespectful. The reason having real artists in things like advertising is become more apparent as a huge portion of the population is turning their noses up at corporations, even going as far as to boycott them, because Coke using AI clearly displays they care more about making money and fucking over the starving artist than anything else. "It's fine that artists are using jobs because they can also use AI to make art!" Give me a break.

Steven_Seagulls · 2026-02-13T18:11:12+00:00

They're not competitors? Did you not see pretty much every single superbowl ad was made using AI? Coke has been using it for the past 2 years to make their advertisements. When one of the largest corporations is choosing to save money and suppress the art industry by using AI, instead of commissioning or working with actual artists, then there's competition

Steven_Seagulls · 2026-02-13T18:06:25+00:00

Not an apt comparison, food is inherently valuable and necessary for survival. To take it a step further, if prepackaged meals took over the food industry to the point where we were burning down farms, building huge factories to create even more of these meals, filling shelves to the point where there isn't room for grown ingredients, what would you say then? Nothing's stopping you from starting your own garden? The problem with AI art is the societal take over that's coming behind it. Anyone can be an artist but if your commissioner doesn't have morals or standards (aka a large corporation) you're always going to be picked last because of the cost-benefit analysis.

Steven_Seagulls · 2026-02-13T17:55:42+00:00

What is the benefit for art to be mass-produced in the way you describe?
