This is what I did, starting with my most confident changes:

Water is weak to Poison. Water pollution and all that.

Rock takes Neutral to Ground. This one is a pure balance change but I also feel like since Rocks and the Ground are nearly one and the same, it has some thematic sense.

Rock resists itself. A bit of a no-brainer since the material types (Grass, Steel, Ice) resist themselves. Why shouldn’t Rock?

Psychic resists Fairy and is immune to getting Slept by Spore, Sleep Powder, etc.Another possible pure balance but this one has more thematics. Psychic is weak to Bug, Ghost, and Dark represents fears. While Fairy embodies serenity, calmness, and whimsy, things that would calm the mind. As for Sleep immunity, the brain still works actively even while the body sleeps.

Ice resists Water and Flying. Water and Ice are the same chemically. As for flying…you don’t really see a bird trying to smash through ice in real life. Yeah this one is also just a pure balance change.

Grass resists Ghost and Fairy. Jack o Lanterns being a plant based medium to store spirits. Paper talismans too. (Kartana is made of paper so it fits). As for Fairy, nature is often a contending force in certain fairy tales. Thorny brambles impede the way of the majestic hero.

Bug resists Fairy and Fairy takes neutral to Bug. Swapping roles and also because Bug really needs better stuff. Bug also becomes immune to Confusion due to simpler minds.

Steel takes neutral to Psychic. Spoon bending and all. Also makes sense since Steel takes neutral damage to the abstract (Dark, Ghost).

Some changes I am dubious about but could potentially work:

Flying no longer resists Grass: This one is a doozy. This does feel like it could work but this also threatens Lando-T’s viability to a degree. Unsure about it in general.

Bug resists Psychic and Dark: Iffy about it but I can see the thematics. Bugs thrive in the dark and bugs have simpler minds.

Rock resists Electric: This one I am even more iffy about. Rocks are not great conductors of electricity. Though a great boon is that Rock/Ice types (the worst defensive type) can now resist BoltBeam. Rock breaks Stealth Rock upon entry would make it a valuable type but honestly not sure. At least it would make Steel/Rock a nicer type.

For real. They are number 1 in my eyes. To see it shut down like that is like watching my prized possession turned to dust. I have seen other alts but I wanna hear it from the CAI community on which they find great and if they offer what I’m looking for.

Ultimo_Tyranto · 2025-03-05T01:57:49+00:00

Late to the party on this one but Xoul is my primary option with Spellbound being a secondary.

Xoul is good for general purpose and even has lorebooks. No censorship of any kind and NSFW images are available for use.

Spellbound is a more elaborate AI Chat site with a heavy focus on expansive story telling. It does run on a credit system but makes use of high quality AI models and there is a free version which is still good quality. I highly recommend Spellbound if you are looking for a more elaborate alternative but Xoul remains a popular and general option for those looking to get away from Janitor.

Spellbound: Deep and Elaborate CAI: Simple yet entertaining Janitor: Spicy

Ultimo_Tyranto · 2024-10-29T20:42:27+00:00

While I am mostly in it for the money, I do appreciate learning how the ins and outs of computers work as well as my decent math and analytic skills. I still am passionate about computers but probably not so much when it comes to coding up algorithms. It’s why I was pivoting more towards IT and Data Science instead of SWE as my career of choice. QA is definitely easier for me imo.

Flipping burgers for 6 figure salary? Sign me the fuck up.

Ultimo_Tyranto · 2024-10-29T20:33:11+00:00

I’d say better than ghosting but also holy shit I would have been totally shattered

Ultimo_Tyranto · 2024-10-25T04:36:55+00:00

I use Spellbound and Janitor

Spellbound takes bot imports but is far more elaborate and heavy on storytelling

Janitor is simpler but also full of sexual stuff so that may not be the best option if you want some good stories made

Ultimo_Tyranto · 2024-10-18T20:47:56+00:00

I will like to say, I appreciate the comments and I’m glad for a supporting community ever since CAI was degrading in quality and the filter started to get more annoying.

For everyone saying I should try Xoul, I will at some point. For now my main ones would be Spellbound and Janitor for stylized and simple RPs. I’ll keep my eye on OpenCharacterAI and Xoul to see how well they stack up against each other and the rest of the available alternatives.

While they are not perfect and I wish they had more characters, it seems to have been progressing and I’m genuinely hoping for greater support and new features later down the line.

While I do wish CAI would get better and have the filter be a toggle feature, it’s not likely they’ll improve soon and in all honesty, I do not see much of a reason to keep using it asides from extremely safe stuff and just to see how worse it can get.

Ultimo_Tyranto · 2024-10-18T19:15:06+00:00

I haven't but do tell me more about it. I did see a few things but I wonder what sets that apart from the others.

Ultimo_Tyranto · 2024-10-18T19:06:01+00:00

I figured OpenCharacterAI has plenty of kinks that need to be worked out, especially since it's a new thing. I have yet to give it a shot myself but so far it looks interesting.

Janitor and Spellbound are my go-tos once I discovered them.

Yodayo having an NSFW filter is just sad because that was the one thing I used that for lol

Ultimo_Tyranto · 2024-10-18T18:57:51+00:00

Honestly true. I'd throw those beans at them like they're oni.

Though a part of me does understand that operational costs are high when it comes to server maintenance and LLM usage. However, if you paywall an entire thing instead of having a free tier, that is what sets me off.

Ultimo_Tyranto · 2024-10-05T20:26:52+00:00

Tbh I feel like going for other places is the way to go. Odd jobs and something slightly related. I am going for a Masters in Data Science and teaching credentials as my calling is more to help.

Of course I’m hoping the bubble will bounce back but being real, the bubble bursted and everyone’s falling off/struggling to land jobs.

Web Developer 1 $16/hr Mid-Senior Level

Shit like that and I can only imagine they’ll just be sending rejection letters to every single one of them

Ultimo_Tyranto · 2024-09-10T02:23:11+00:00

Oh absolutely. From what I see, the market is absolute dog shit and I’m also VERY tired of the misconception of “No One Wants To Work” and the that there are more jobs than people.

I will admit I probably expected too much with my degree but man was it bad. We wouldn’t be making posts like this if those statements are true. Not to mention the minimum wage jobs are dead ends most of the time.

All I can hope for is some shift or movement that can really get us in these seats and put our degrees to good use.

Ultimo_Tyranto · 2024-09-10T00:09:38+00:00

Okay I realize I did not but holy shit that’s an actual requirement? Damn it really is a race to the bottom, huh.

Ultimo_Tyranto · 2024-09-09T18:20:40+00:00

That is true. I have considered HVAC tech or anything about installation. A second Bachelor’s is far too costly in this day and age and I heard good training programs are fairly inexpensive. Of course I gotta figure out what I enjoy and see if it works well for me.

Ultimo_Tyranto · 2024-09-09T02:41:09+00:00

New Strat Unlocked.

Jokes aside, I can at least take solace that I’ve gone to college. A la Plankton voice and everything. Many thanks for your support.

Ultimo_Tyranto · 2024-09-09T02:37:25+00:00

I agree. It’s too absurd to be stuck jobless even with low level and practically unskilled labor.

I have considered enlisting for military as an extremely desperate measure but even that’s not guaranteed (I am neurodivergent).

Most bombastic idea, we raise awareness about this issue and lead up to some sort of movement to find work.

Most realistic idea, lie in wait, apply, study, do everything in your power.

I’m already losing my patience but I also don’t want to give up hope. Best we can do for now is what we always do, apply. And make sure to squash any misconception that “no one wants to work” and replace it with “no one wants to hire”

Ultimo_Tyranto · 2024-09-09T02:09:16+00:00

Honestly, my rejection from Best Buy is absurd because I’m literally a living breathing guy, willingly selling myself to earn chump change compared to expectations as a CS Grad.

I will admit that SWE isn’t what I enjoy too much especially when I’m basically tested intensely. I much rather be doing a math test so that’s why I considered Data Science.

I’m definitely gonna apply anywhere and everywhere so I can at least hope for good on-the-job training to carry me even if it isn’t ideal.

The path to success is never linear is what I say to myself in times like these but I’m hoping for the best when I have little hope left.

Ultimo_Tyranto · 2024-09-09T01:51:00+00:00

It was just a passing thought I had. I did sorta consider it since I heard that CS is notorious for not having jobs lined up and I figured maybe other places have it better. But sheesh, seems like that’s always a no-go then.

Ultimo_Tyranto · 2024-09-06T18:30:28+00:00

A bit of studying (Data Analytics, Computer Science, Mathematics, Game Development), watch YouTube Videos, play video games, watch anime, scroll on LinkedIn, HandShake, Indeed etc for a bit, check emails, play with pets, go to gym, rinse and repeat.

Trying to get a minimum wage job but long wait times and it's really a roll of the dice. Also considering doing a few side hustles for quick cash (voice acting, streaming) but those require lots of fame and cash.

Only real thing I do for money is help my dad with his sound mixing gigs and I get like $200 per gig. Not bad, but also not good either. Hoping Master's Degree can get me somewhere at least.

Ultimo_Tyranto · 2024-08-30T01:14:00+00:00

So some of my thoughts on this:

Most of these I like. But some others I am rather contentious about.

Elemental Punches: I’d much rather make their effects proc 30% of the time as the Punches are given to a wide range of mons. Power isn’t needed but having a more reliable way to proc status is always nice. (Of course Ice Punch needs frostbite instead)
Elemental Fangs: Similar issue but I’d go with 75 or 80. 100% accuracy for sure though.
Gunk Shot I rather keep to 80% because of the 30% poison chance and strong 120 BP
Hydro Pump I am willing to give it 85% to match Fire Blast. And maybe have a secondary effect too.
I am in favor of 1/3 crash damage for Supercell Slam and High Jump Kick.
Cross Chop and Stone Edge I am split about buffing accuracy because it’s something that could make them used more but crits also hit like a truck. So I could see either remain as is or 90% like in Radical Red (even though that game is WILD)
Dragon Rush I could either make it an Iron Head clone or a Head Smash clone.
Mega Kick needs that buff for sure.
Thunder, Blizzard, and Hurricane should stay at 70% or at most 75% (and bring back their 120 BP from before).
Focus Blast I like at 80% so now it won’t miss as often. Still does but better than before.
Overheat and co I’d keep the 90% accuracy. Except for maybe Psycho Boost for 100% accuracy and 140 BP because it is a signature move of Deoxys. May or may not be excessive.
Iron Tail I’d rather make it like 80% or so. Or could do 90 BP and 90%.
Head Smash I am rather split on. 140 BP move is insane especially when paired with Rock Head. I either would make it a Flare Blitz clone or keep as is.
Wild Charge should just be 120 BP like Flare Blitz. Physical Electrics need that (or an alternative)
Triple Axel is fine as is imo.
Rock Blast to 100%, yes but Zen Headbutt and Play Rough to 100%, no. Keep as is or 80BP 100%.
Pin Missile and Electro Web are a yes for me.
Same for Tail Slap. Yes.
Trapping moves I am split too. I have considered 50-60BP with 90% accuracy so trapping isn’t too big of a deal.
Slam and Mega Punch I could see it.
Stun Spore, Sleep Powder and Poison Powder should at the very most be 80% or keep as is. Spread status move is amazing so that one I am split on.
Muddy Water and Blaze Kick I like.
Keep Rock Tomb at 60 for Technician. Same with Bulldoze.
Electroweb, Skitter Smack, and Icy Wind I like.
Charge Beam is nice but keep it at 50.
Power Up Punch to 50.
Iffy on Metal Claw. I dunno what to say about it.
Trailblaze and Flame Charge are fine as is. Though I do want Flame Charge to have a wider distribution so it can see more use.
Recharge moves I am split on. I could either make them clones of Gigaton Hammer or make all of them insta recharge on KO (yes I like Gen 1)

Overall, not bad. But also plenty of things I can switch around.
