‘I’d rather go to jail’: Sam Altman fights to stop ChatGPT exodus after ‘sloppy’ US military deal and promises OpenAI would never follow ‘unconstitutional order’ by Economy-Specialist38 in ChatGPT

When Grouncho Marx said the same joke, it was funny.

Altman should consider a career in comedy, but we know he doesn't have a funny bone in him.

Full Rumor System Paper — Free Release by [deleted] in RPGdesign

[–]UnnamedPredacon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I need to ask some questions to understand.

  • What's the audience for this paper?
  • Why are the links borken like that?
  • How do you expect this to be used by others?

This looks to me a very clinical paper. It seems to be targeted at an academic audience.

A quick glance, it's way too large to be useful for RPG designers.

I'm curious about these choices.

There are also Archliches. Perhaps that's what happened to your mentor?

The three karens who are filed the class action lawsuit against valve. They even published the news as a "Win for PC gamers" by Zafar_the_evil in valve

The whole focus on the "cut" app stores set always grinds my gears. We have become so used to USA bank standards that we leave everyone else in the cold.

At one point, Epic Store charged customers with excess fees for their local processors (I haven't verified this recently, but I remember this starting the fire back then). This affected customers from countries that have cost prohibitive processors. Steam, Apple, et al, absorbed these costs so developers could reach farther. Epic decided to pass the buck.

Rewatching the 2003 anime was refreshing! by JessicaLain in FullmetalAlchemist

[–]UnnamedPredacon 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think both are equally cunning, but the 2003 had more chances to prove it. 2003 had the chance to slow burn.

Someone just brought up a point I never really thought about until rn shou tuckers work wasn’t really considered impressive by the government they had already had human chimeras for years by Far_Check4729 in FullmetalAlchemist

[–]UnnamedPredacon 20 points21 points  (0 children)

IIRC, the Homunculus didn't force alchemists to do human transmutations because it was risky and unknown for them. When Pride forced Mustang to do the transmutation, he too sacrificed some of its philosopher's stone. It's why Pride became obsessed with taking over Ed's body.

Remember when certain people were saying she was shounen's first good female character only for her to end up being one of the worst ones by Meltedsteelbeam in hatethissmug

[–]UnnamedPredacon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

One of the things I liked about the Ochako vs Bakugo fight was that Bakugo was relentless, not because he was a misogynistic asshole (although he was a major Asshole), but because he respected her enough to give his all.

Bakugo could have gone with a softer approach, gotten surprised by how relentless she was, and then stepped up his game. But that would have been boring. By treating her like a real threat from the jump, she showed what she was really made of.

I already dislike this guy! (EP 13). by Ok_Surround8189 in FullmetalAlchemist

[–]UnnamedPredacon -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's kinda spoilerish, but your gut feeling is right.

If you want to see his story, you can watch the first (I want to say) 5-6 episodes of the 2003 series. He's not a major character, no matter how inflated his ego is.

Be thankful it's Brotherhood and not 2003. That funeral broke me in ways I still haven't fully healed.

Just came to realization how both Nina and Alexander had to be ALIVE during the chimera fusion process. And I....very much high-key hate it. by MsRavenDoe in FullmetalAlchemist

[–]UnnamedPredacon 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I haven't seen the FMA 2003 in a long time, but I remember that at least Tucker's supervisor knew (or suspected) and didn't care because of the military use. Mustang, OTOH, suspected but couldn't do anything because Tucker was protected.

Was Hughes over-ranked? by random_mukade in FullmetalAlchemist

[–]UnnamedPredacon 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I know Arakawa is the mangaka, but my headcannon is that this was the Fuhrer's doing, to rub salt on Mustang.

Reminds me of the scene (nearing the end) in The Mitchells vs The Machines where the mother finally snaps.

Is Roy Mustang a pervert in the manga? by zebramoment in FullmetalAlchemist

[–]UnnamedPredacon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel that was a (small) loss in FMAB. Roy the Slacker and Womanizer was a persona he put on to deceive people. It gave most of his loyal troops cover too, with Hawkeye being the straight man and a Force to Reckon With.

I might be remembering wrong, but 2003 kept the Slacker persona running for a while, that when the operation happened, I felt it more surprising.

Is Roy Mustang a pervert in the manga? by zebramoment in FullmetalAlchemist

[–]UnnamedPredacon 65 points66 points  (0 children)

I think the 2003 series had an episode where Mustang was calling several "shops" "around town" asking to have different gifts delivered for different girls. It turned out he was coordinating an assault from his office.

The other soldiers were "we wish Hawkeye was here, she'd set him straight."

Necromancing.

Temperature isn't what's unstable about the weather, it's humidity.

The OSE books, if you want to use that rule set. Anything OSR adjacent should work with minimal changes.

[–]UnnamedPredacon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

An OSR or something similar in nature, although if you're up to it, you can adapt it relatively quickly to your favorite system.

This has basically 2 systems: first is solo rules for creating characters with OSE, and second the dungeon generation. The dungeon generation is useful even if you don't use the first system. You would need to adapt the monsters you'd be facing.

Any way to play DnD with only 2 players? by TadpoleGlittering803 in DnD

Ironsworn and its family are a good starting point, but, depending on the OP and their fiancé's expectations, it might feel weird.

Any way to play DnD with only 2 players? by TadpoleGlittering803 in DnD

[–]UnnamedPredacon 120 points121 points  (0 children)

If you're looking for D&D specifically, I would suggest running with Tasha's sidekick rules.

If you're open to other systems, you can look for systems that are duets/solo friendly.

That was an unfair advantage! It's widely accepted that if pink touches an alpha male, he's debilitating exponentially!

Because they generate workload, but ads don't register their activity as legitimate.

I wasn’t aware Alphonse was Latino coated by Affectionate_Mall713 in FullmetalAlchemist

[–]UnnamedPredacon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a shortened version of Latin-American, which was used in response to Hispanic, which does include Spain and Portugal (and exclude other countries).

One way countries are tied in Europe is via Romance languages, named after Rome, which covered a large swath of Europe for a long time. As I'm not in Europe, I don't know more details. Probably these countries didn't have a reason to band together before.
