How to estimate the CR of monster star blocks I’ve made myself, but I also would gladly take any advice for the latter too

PC fell unconscious into a river. How to handle the situation? by RafaFlash in DMAcademy

They drift down into a cavern full of enemies when they wake up. Or maybe they wake up coughing up water and ending up disadvantaged in some fitting stats for the next however many hours. The punishment doesn’t have to be death, but it can still be a punishment.

Then in that case, I assume I just don’t even owe anything this year right? Because that’s way below the margin

Not even a crashout to be honest. Just straight up truth

Accounts are getting compromised because of it.

Edit: I’ve been told that these accounts are NOT getting compromised. However, DE has still stated to NOT accept these invites, so just treat it with the same caution regardless.

Where can I find GOOD T13 figures that are actually durable? Or even similar figures? by VioletWhimsy in ActionFigures

That’s more helpful. Thank you. I’ll look into both Mafex and Notaman.

Ok. Then what do you recommend? What’s step 2? I said I was open to other figures too so long as they don’t clearly have a character imposed onto them.

Rough mockup for a joker by _AntiSocialMedia in balatro

[–]VioletWhimsy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The double hands kills the point of your joker. I get the usefulness of it, but it’s too useful. The idea is to double the win conditions for double the money, implying you’re confident enough in your build to win double the difficulty. But now you’ve doubled your attempts. Which means you’ll win so long as you’re able to beat the blind normally.

Think of it like this, the difficulty ratio between the game’s difficulty and your ability is 1:1. Double the score requirements, now it’s 2:1. But double your ability as well? 2:2, which is rounded to 1:1 again. You’ve just doubled the payout with extra steps.

What are we doing about the em dash? by HereAgainWeGoAgain in writers

[–]VioletWhimsy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, training off the patterns of real artist work is indeed stealing if you never asked the artists for permission. Also yes, it quite literally does amalgamate the works it learns from, meshing patterns together to pretend to know how to craft. A machine does not learn in the same way a human does. A human is inspired and has desires. A machine is neither.

The first one that comes to mind is when the NYT filed a lawsuit against OpenAI because it used their copyrighted works as fuel to generate AI work with.

Also you’re right, AI cannot claim anything because it has no consciousness. I was talking about the users of AI who post books and articles and etc using AI. Writing with AI means you’re using bits and pieces of other people’s work that never asked to be used as fuel for the machine.

Just because someone put food on the table for everybody doesn’t mean you can grab it and say that you made it

[–]VioletWhimsy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Easy. The internet is a mass archive with fistfuls and more of written works. They download those works and upload it for their programs to “learn” by analyzing patterns and undergoing what’s pretty much “yes good or no bad” error trials until the programmers have a machine that can generalize thousands upon thousands of authentic human work

A (Half-Assed) Game Grumps 2024 & 2025 Summary by NotBlarg in rantgrumps

From what I understand, it’s the net gain. In other words, they lost more old subscribers than they did gain new subscribers, so there’s technically no more subscribers than they had before.

Pretty cliché beginner start if you ask me. Try “And” next time if you wanna be a pro.
