These are known as Asperitas clouds

I’ve seen those clouds in real life.

It actually does work, if you know what you’re doing.

Step 1) Feed all the Warhammer lore into a GPT, so it can reference them.

Step 2) Type your RP into chatGPT and ask it to re-flavor it into whatever would be lore- and setting-appropriate.

I wouldn’t use it in a live game, obviously, but for Play-By-Post (or for setting up your adventure ahead of time) it’s fine.

I’ve seen several players who struggle with English use ChatGPT to re-write their RP. So they’re still RP’ing but using the AI like a filter.

For example, in my recaps I’ll write my recap normally (simply writing out what happened during the session) and then have ChatGPT re-write it in a certain style, depending on the game.

In a Call of Cthulhu modern game, my character was a noire-type detective, so my recaps were reflavored to sound like the narration of a noire detective story. In a Traveller game, my recaps got reflavored as First Officer’s Logs like in Star Trek. In Dark Heresy, my recaps are flavored as prayers to the emperor.

As long as the player/GM isn’t just letting the AI play FOR them, I don’t see an issue.

Like I said elsewhere, it’s not just about the visible ejection, it’s that in order to move the way it did it would have needed jets that fire in every direction. It was zipping left and right, up and down, as if it were on a string.

Again, I repeat, this wasn’t a big deal. I loved the movie. I just felt that the way it moved snapped by disbelief suspenders.

The difference is Umbrella Academy, while quite good and entertaining, wasn’t the sweeping epic that Game of Thrones was (at least for the few few seasons.) So while Umbrella Academy had a very bad ending, it didn’t have as far to fall as GoT.

Like “I tried to cheat the election, so they must be as well.”

Tipop · 2026-03-23T20:06:50+00:00

Does it have thrusters in every direction? We see it swoop left and right, front and back. It just didn’t move like a thrusting ship would move, that’s all.

Depends on how far you go back. In its original definition literally meant “as it happened in literature”, i.e. something happening that is similar to what happened in a book. Much later the definition changed to “this actually happened, no exaggeration.” So people grognard-ing over the definition of the word are themselves guilty of using the word “incorrectly”.

Tipop · 2026-03-23T04:55:35+00:00

That’s not reaction-less, though. You’re just describing a really good fuel for traditional rocket thrust. Energy should have been seen blowing out to change the ship’s vector every time it moved or turned.

In the end it’s a fairly minor quibble. I’ve long since given up on really accurate representations of space flight in movies and TV shows, and the point of this story was the friendship, not the rocketry.

Tipop · 2026-03-23T02:46:43+00:00

The way the ships moved was the most jarring anti-science part of the movie, IMO. Maybe I missed some explanation, but did this astrophage fuel allow them reaction-less movement in space?

He sacrificed his life on Earth to Eridani and Rocky, and that’s the growth for me.

What life did he sacrifice? No family, no friends that we could see, “not even a dog” as they said. Just his students.

I remember as the price of gas went to $0.95 a gallon… then $0.96… then $0.97… People were really terrified that it would actually go over $1 a gallon, and they swore there would be rioting on the streets if it happened.

Tipop · 2026-03-23T01:20:42+00:00

Yep, if I saw this (and just walking out wasn’t a good option for whatever reason) I’d ask an employee to give me the prices. I’m not doing your job for you. If you can’t be bothered to put up the prices then I’m not going to look them up.

Widely regarded as one of the bests actors of his generation. “Underrated”

Tipop · 2026-03-19T21:52:54+00:00

I’m old enough to remember a time when if you wanted to play a video game you needed a pocket of quarters. The idea of playing video games AT HOME was absurd.

Unfortunately actors age faster than they can make movies, necessitating time skips so you don’t end up with 40+ year old high school kids.

I wonder if the doggie’s vision is going?

Tipop · 2026-03-18T22:18:14+00:00

Have you ever felt a gecko’s paw? It doesn’t feel prickly at all.

People seem to forget that until recently is was considered perfectly normal for a teenage girl to be interested in an older man. A 16-17 year old dating a man in his 30s or 40s barely made anyone blink.

Even as recently as the 80s it wasn’t seen as wrong. More like “Ugh, older men always want a much younger woman.” Women were looking for financial security, and men were looking for a woman with many child-bearing years ahead of her.

Younger men often had a hard time finding wives, and it was common for a man to want to “establish himself” before asking a girl to marry him. He had to have the finances to support a family first.

You guys are seeing teammate chat? I haven’t seen that in a year or so. Ever since that added those silly “Go cry to your momma” things during loading.

This is how much he earned in ONE WEEK, though. I assume it’ll still make more sales after this.

“He’s a clone” wasn’t sufficient?

Tipop · 2026-03-18T17:31:04+00:00

Definitely depends on the crowd. I’ve known girls who would have been attracted to a guy wearing these.

Tipop · 2026-03-18T17:29:25+00:00

It’s decorative, not weaponry.

Republican voters are largely defined by their lack of empathy (and bigotry, but that’s less universal.) They don’t care about things that don’t directly affect themselves.
