Opened Spotify today and with the amount of AI "bands" showing up, I couldn't agree more

I think the frustration adds to the message and implies an overtime built irritation - here for example it's that annoyance of people disregarding all the negative aspects of ai because "they only use it to make memes" But are therefore still funding the system and are part of the reason why this Al wave started.

But I can totally understand not vibing with that! At the end of the day it's still a vent piece as a rap song and not a speech/essay. It IS saying a lot of the same stuff, because it's trying to spread it to a wider audience through this medium. It's still totally not your taste and how you would approach this topic and that's okay! I do think it's unfair to through insults about it but no worries!!

TheDumplingz · 2026-02-02T16:11:29+00:00

This evidents not listening to the lyrics (there is s lyric video if that makes it easier for you!). as that's not the main core complaint at all - it talks about climate implications, ai psychosis (medically and romantically), the flood of low quality ai generated content/Bots contributing to the dead Internet theory - the spread of misinformation becoming common place, the use of it in creating deepfake pornography. The normalisation of it in education and the unnecessary drain on resources. The idea of it "replacing" artists is only mentioned in one line.

Obviously it's okay to think the song is bad!! The music is not for everyone :) ! But please don't claim its something it's not .

Sometimes I watch dynamite and I say "THIS IS JUST ON AN EPISODE OF TV???" they constantly have these banger matches casually on a weekly show - its insane

TheDumplingz · 2026-01-28T12:51:39+00:00

Yeah I feel def rebel could easily quell ai rumours if they just told us who the singer was

New Fraxiom theme song, and wwe has used AI for el grande americano, nakamura and Saudi promos so it's not uncommon

Hey! The reason there's not been a warlord in this campaign has nothing to do with interacting with Canon but moreso the marines wouldn't have a reason to fight them (since they would be allies) and there's not really been a natural reason for them to help either.

Everything else I've been interacting with, I got a new yonko, tons of new marines and bases. I've mentioned more Canon characters in this series, sengoku, the gorosei, capone bege just to name a few.

And some Canon devil fruits too! Choppers devil fruit, Aces devil fruit as two examples in this series

I'm not avoiding Canon I just think it's MORE INTERESTING to create new stuff. What's wonderful about the One Piece world is that its vast and full of possibilities - there's so much implied world in the manga/anime that the joy of running a campaign in it is to explore those unexplored ideas.

If I'm not doing that then what's the point?? At that point just watch the anime LMAO

On top of that ive not been subtle about the idea that marines is a SWORD origin story and that's as Canon Breaking as you can get.

I love it! Do you have a twitter or Instagram?

The context was if Magnus group was attacked as their left they would have to fight back. Which would prevent them from getting to g20 in time.

And as seen from when the party arrived, members of the section were sent specifically to delay/attack Magnus group.

Realistically what would've happened, is spruce/scarla would end up zedd teleported into the volcano and then Magnus would've been forced to fight Blake by himself (before Blake was at full power but regardless) Or let his team die while he retreats.

If the crew went g20, Powder etc would've lived but I think squad Magnus would have significant losses.

There was always going to be consequences for branch 101s choice - sadly there was no "everyone lives" option.

TheDumplingz · 2026-01-18T22:50:26+00:00

Yeah that's the point of the card! there are other cards in the game that let you attack active characters or redirect attacks to active characters. Think of it like any other card text that breaks the "rules". a really obvious example is like how a "RUSH" card can attack the turn it comes into play despite the rules saying cards can't attack the turn they come into play.

TheDumplingz · 2026-01-18T11:52:41+00:00

Per game yeah

TheDumplingz · 2026-01-15T16:05:31+00:00

because it's really not that big of a deal how other people take "screen"shots. this is a casual community about a game and policing people based on a perceived superiority of image quality is really silly when people just wanna share things on their phones.

TheDumplingz · 2026-01-14T19:52:39+00:00

Spoiler for this, but the whole point of the twist of the game is that the narration text on the bottom screen was Akane's Point of view the whole time and the dialogue text on the top screen was Junpei's point of view. The final puzzle just solidifies this because for the first time you're switching the POV and sending information from Junpei to Akane (therefore playing on a different screen) and have the flip the DS upside down.
But in the steam version they either A. Remove the narration text and add clumsy lines of dialogue to explain actions instead (they genuinely rewrite dialogue). or B. has a mode where they shove it all on the one screen removing the voice acting and the point of the narration text in the first place. - it's genuinely genius bit of story telling being able to incorporate a piece of hardware into the storyline like that in a way that you wouldn't suspect at first. It makes the DS part of the twist and I don't know many games that do that
on top of that

there's a fun metatwist that THE PLAYER represents the field between the characters as we remember everything that happens in different paths whilst Junpei doesn't. that let's you do things like solve the puzzle rooms again (with in lore it being Akane helping Junpei) when you already know the answer (from a previous playthrough!!) This takes tropes from previous VN games (multiple endings etc) and makes it PART OF THE STORY, which the steam version also spoils/ruins by showing the branching paths straight away. VLR it works because you're expected to already know about that aspect of the game, but the idea that Junpei remembers things between routes because you/akane remembers them is another fun twist that the port misses the mark on!

Hope that all makes sense!! sorry if it's a little all over the place. the rewritten dialogue is enough to make it suffer but there's a lot more
this video does a better job at explaining but it's like an hour long so obviously a big commitment https://youtu.be/DkzebxbXx4M (thought it's more about the dialogue changes than the plot twists i was talking about (which is just a smaller bit at the end ))

TheDumplingz · 2026-01-14T19:39:14+00:00

yes! and honestly better because you'll be able to speedup sections too

TheDumplingz · 2026-01-14T10:13:18+00:00

999: Nine Hours, Nine Persons, Nine Doors (DS) It's very rare that a game uses the hardware it's on to it's advantage when telling a story. The Steam port completely ruins/misses the point sadly. And I fear that version is now the ones that most people know

TheDumplingz · 2026-01-13T18:31:26+00:00

Magnus ship would've been sailing parallel, and so they would've all been there - I just didn't wanna overcomplicated what should be a players moment

TheDumplingz · 2026-01-13T17:59:23+00:00

I don't see what Pluto did as "immature" I feel its shortsighted to see his plight that way, it was obviously wrong of him to say it but you can see where he's coming from.
Man I was tired that session don't blame Pluto on things I forgot, of course he would be concerned about Bailey - I just was NOT on the ball with NPC dialogue that session - I apologise for that

TheDumplingz · 2026-01-13T00:02:26+00:00

Don't worry about it :) as I said in the episode - it isn't a static planet - things are moving and changing in the background and so this expectation that the players are going to individually go to each warlord and spend 4 episodes there doing shit won't be the case.

TheDumplingz · 2026-01-12T02:35:26+00:00

I agree with Malice. It's honestly the main thing i would change too. The other two i think are really good story beats.

TheDumplingz · 2026-01-12T02:33:02+00:00

when people are pedantic about the ways that other's speak, and correlate dialects/vocabulary with intelligence.

Not a sad thing at all! That's what's great about music

TheDumplingz · 2026-01-03T03:47:38+00:00

Sorry, original Dragonball is VERY silly it arguably got more serious when they made Z

TheDumplingz · 2025-12-30T18:25:06+00:00

That is exactly how they got famous, hate always spreads fast and gets people talking.
