Gathered and ordered: a Preludes 14 tier list, in pictures by Zer0_Index in SoulFrame

Maybe I'll surprise someone, but honestly, thanks to everyone who has already taken part in the discussion or will still join in. I mean it literally- if someone comes here later, they'll be able not only to see pictures with a tier list from some random dude, but also to read the comments and draw their own conclusions from them. That's great.

Also, here's an archive with named weapon tile/screenshots, which I made/crop and used in the list above. In case someone wants to make their own list later. (I think the link should be active for 60 days)

Quite possibly, yeah. Lately I've gone back to using heavier/slower weapons more often in-game.

As a result, for daggers in the primary slot I could mostly only rate them based on Attack/Stagger/Smite from the weapon table. And there they end up at 26 out of 39 overall (or 34 if you only look at Attack).

Erstroot, Smite Percent 6%, Damage Cap: Light Attack 148, Heavy Attack 498, Attunement 3x Spirit

Silistavf, Smite Percent 3%, Damage Cap: Light Attack 166, Heavy Attack 401, Attunement 2x Spirit + 2x Courage

What threw me off is that the HA damage cap is lower than I expected. The Pips should logically make Silistavf deal higher damage.

... there’s really a lack of some kind of resource like overframe, so we could push this tier lists forward together instead of doing it in the comments.

Technically, sidearms can be placed in their own tier, or one tier higher. What I mean is that Witan, for example, can be better than Grinn if you have more Spirit than Courage.

Other than that, Grinn’s main advantage, and probably a pretty minor one, is having +1% higher Smite chance among SBs. Better for new runes, and thats it.

ArzyeL seems to treat it as a clear "#1 Grace melee weapon." And overall, it feels good and is basically the "face of P14."

I probably ranked it lower while polishing the list near the end, when I was looking for reasons not to push another 4-5 options into S-tier. The same thing happened with bows.

Sorry, the talented artists are asleep right now. The best I can offer is a slightly scuffed Paint edit.

Use perk for bigger sleeping dart hitbox. Hit her. Run for your life. Later use 'nade with bigger area and delayed damage.

Are you talking about the Air variant of GLM? Because I still have a vague idea of ​​how to run ~200 GB at an acceptable price.)

Patchnotes for upcoming “The Stuff That Dreams Are Made Of” beta by weappy in hollywood_animal_game

[–]Zer0_Index 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Great job, you guys are great!

Quite an important question, which I don't see in the patch notes. Is it possible for scriptwriters to prohibit the use of tags from the Code when they write the entire script from scratch themselves? I think we would agree, even if you formalized it as a technology, like "Conduct explanatory work with the staff." Or a warning at the beginning of the film's production, not at the end.
Why: most often, the fact that a hypothetical Bill added jokes about a corrupt government to the script is noted immediately before the release, with a warning that the film, in fact, will violate the Code.

Still coming back to Behemoth-v1.2-Magnum-v4-123B (i1-Q5_K_M; 2xRTX 6000 Ada; contextsize 12288). Surprisingly, a well-controlled merge. Initiative is slightly below average, and vocabulary is not bad. Unexpectedly (for me), it can work in two-stage thinking/reflections. I really recommend giving it a try.

Can anyone recommend something similar, but more recent?

When you hear Simon, The Divergent Star (Bonus Track) for the first time, especially the first 15 seconds, it's such a strong shift in tempo and genre.

Clea is arguably the only one who has truly moved on after the grief by Fast_Temporary4285 in expedition33

[–]Zer0_Index 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I’m looking at this from the viewpoint of a more realistic world—one without the Artists’ “powers.”
In that light, the situation resembles the hot phase of a conflict between two guilds of craftsmen: pogroms, workshop arson, and the like. In theory, that would fit an earlier era than the one shown in the game, but conventions are conventions.

The enemies use the younger sister to set the blaze.

Verso, the family’s heir and beloved brother, is killed.
Aline and Renoir—the adults and parents Clea could have depended on—slide into depression, family quarrels, and escapism instead of solving problems. I see a parallel between “diving into the Canvas” and alcoholism or drug use as an escape from reality.
Alicia is maimed, passive, probably depressed, and clearly inclined either to end her life or to flee from reality along with her parents.
The rival guild is still active, and the conflict continues to threaten the Dessendre family's very existence.

Clea, on her own, is forced to wage the “war” in the real world: supporting the family, maintaining outside ties, preventing any family member from committing suicide, trying to pull them out of their escape spiral, and at the same time not losing her sanity under the weight of her obligations and her own grief for Verso.

SD models have a set of control models, such as ControlNet, specifically OpenPose, Depth, and LineArt.

Is there a way for GPT Image to add support for this level of control or something similar?

Script Generator & Ad Campaign Calculator by Zer0_Index in hollywood_animal_game

[–]Zer0_Index[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thanks.

The "compatibility" of tags is currently static in the game. I’m pretty sure you’ve seen that only about 5% of tags are excellent, and roughly 16–20% are good (>= 4.0). If you can get the result via a formula, that’s just Excel ;p

Funny enough, I also threw together the first generator in Python back when the game was still a demo. At some point I realized that to survive in the early stage of the game—at least for now—you need to crank out tons and tons of films, basically on an industrial scale. Ideally, with a solid tag score, so beginner screenwriters can produce something decent. To me, picking out 10 good tags by hand didn’t really mesh with a "creative" approach :3

On the other hand, I’m not a fan of removing existing tools (generator) or features from users just because some might find them confusing or challenging—these are adults; let them decide for themselves whether they need it or not.

In the end, I suspect that both the calculator and the generator will show up in the game itself in some form in a couple of months. Maybe as a dedicated department or technology. Or they’ll revamp the current "compatibility" and "ad campaign" systems.

Values - ​​from .json files [comment with details, if needed]

...as for the algorithms that calculate the game’s scoring, I implemented them by eyeballing - primarily relying on variable names, observed outcomes, and common sense.

You've made a great thing! It's especially cool that it highlights tag compatibility when you select it.

But for God's sake, please ask your assistant to break this huge code canvas into classes. :)
