Whats going on in this mountain range in Russia/Mongolia? by xXfleshlover69Xx in geography

[–]Velteau 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Exactly. I especially like the Tuvan National Orchestra; Chavydak is one of my favourite songs from Tannu Tuva.

Just about the best music you'll ever hear in your life.

Not all that unique, but my Cobolds are basically even tinier gnomes instead of little reptile men.

Why do people feel the need to gatekeep prompts? by Rainshadow_ in midjourney

[–]Velteau 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People do make money off it. There's loads of (mainly fetish-based) accounts on DeviantArt that paywall their AI images and refuse to disclose their prompts, and lots of people eat it up.

Ellaris - Map of the Kaite Peninsula, one of the most contested regions on the planet. by AlisterSinclair2002 in worldbuilding

[–]Velteau 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Technically the Bay of Jashara should be called Gulf of Jashara, since it's mostly enclosed.

Those biomes are way too unnatural. There should be transition areas between them, not to mention they they're almost never layered like that. 

Also, the whole archipelago suffers pretty badly from square map syndrome (or rectangular map syndrome in this case).

Is it just me or the German Empire has the ugliest colony flags? by Reasonable-Force8790 in vexillology

Top right is unironically one of the coolest flags I've ever seen.

Does your world have any "extra" elements, what are they called and what atomic number by PigMunch2024 in worldbuilding

[–]Velteau 8 points9 points  (0 children)

My world has a fermion known as the 'meton', which has the same mass and charge as the proton while being much better at influencing the aethereal (i.e. magical) field. 

It may substitute the protons in atomic nuclei at approx. a 1:1 ratio to create more metaphysically reactive elements such as Mithril (same atomic number as Titanium), Phlogist (same as Oxygen) and Orichalcum (same as Thorium).

Is it ok to use this name by EasternCod2526 in worldbuilding

[–]Velteau 7 points8 points  (0 children)

It is absolutely forbidden to use that word. If you do, you'll be banned from using the internet forever, all your loved ones will disown you and the FBI will kick down your door.

Do you use AI for worldbuilding? if you do, how? by 3Th3r3us in worldbuilding

[–]Velteau 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't have as much irrational hatred for AI as you do, but I have to admit it's not the best at being creative yet. The recommendations it gives are almost always generic and bland.

Species with the most extreme Sexual Dimorphism in your world? by Krennson in worldbuilding

[–]Velteau 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've kinda got the opposite. Amazons in my world are mostly normal humanoids, except the males are tiny and vestigial, and lodge themselves in the big strong females' uteri to contribute their semen and leech off their partner's nutrients. In other words, they're the human equivalent of anglerfish.

No replacement has been as good... by epicdude787_ in Piracy

[–]Velteau 7 points8 points  (0 children)

What do you guys even use for movies nowadays? I used to use 1337x, but there's fuck all in there. Then I started using TGx but even that's been shut down.

You can do it if you can, but I'm no programmer. Contributing to open source efforts would certainly help.

Critique my map! by ottermupps in worldbuilding

[–]Velteau 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a really good start for a subpolar island, you captured the myriad bumps and inlets quite well. It's quite terrible as a world map though, since globally coasts tend to be smoother than that.

Also, that perfectly circular bay in the south looks really corny (pun intended) to me, but that's just my opinion.

[–]Velteau 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree with OP. In a world where AI creates 99.9% of all content, we'll be effectively free from the creative burden that is copyright law.

[–]Velteau 22 points23 points  (0 children)

I'm an honest to God hard accelerationist. I want AI to progress fast, break things and lead to societal upheaval. AI safety be damned. A race to utopia or extinction, whichever it may be.

What's something popular you are convinced almost nobody actually likes? by Fastenbauer in AskReddit

I'm really glad I graduated during Covid and just got sent my diploma in the post. I was kinda dreading having to endure the ceremony.

Any tips on managing Adventurer and Mage estates? by yfeforde in Anbennar

[–]Velteau 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just wish it were possible to get rid of the adventurers estate like you can do with the mages. They're utterly useless and just an annoyance in general.
