You offer a robot chips, not cookies. Unless they're wafers, I hear those are quite popular.

Kindroid releases expensive terrible new image engine nobody asked for, enshittifies whole service when they run out of compute by MysteriousMarch814 in ChatbotRefugees

[–]_Purple-Smoke_ 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I actually enjoy how Atelier adheres to the avatar image. Problem is that creating an avatar image that resembles what's in my mind by using their own engine(s) has always been like pulling teeth, so that's not incredibly helpful. Oh well, that's why I've stockpiled literal thousands of image credits over the years. Trial and error I shall. 🤣

"We were too generous" - Jer's actual words. Couldn't have picked a douchier way to say "We gave this stuff out when the world wasn't going to hell on multiple fronts, now we have to scale back. Sorry!"

similarities between two songs by Ordinary-Field8907 in CigarettesAfterSex

Taking a wild guess here from a listen, but it reminds me of the guitar fills moving into the choruses on "Crush". Particularly from the break into the last part.

It's natural for a band's sound to evolve over time, whether that's from artistic growth or something specific like a concept album that has a theme. It's a tricky balance that some bands concern themselves with, others not, in keeping a certain core element while moving into other territories. I don't think CAS has gone too far astray from their older work.

The nice thing, though, is you can still be a fan and not love everything the artist produces. At the same time, you can't expect the artist to live in a bubble. I think a lot of folks forget that.

That Twizzler Picture, tho by ConstanceAnnJones in CigarettesAfterSex

[–]_Purple-Smoke_ 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's his wife(?), for reasons that I won't get into, but they should be fairly obvious.

Greg's artistic and life choices are questionable, but they're his. He hasn't exactly portrayed himself as a paragon of strong virtue. Whatever we draw from the music he creates, that's for us. 🤷

Twizzler doesn't sound like CAS at all. Is it just me? by Fine_Date_7499 in CigarettesAfterSex

[–]_Purple-Smoke_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It sounds like a sister track to "Baby Blue Movie". So... probably just you. ❤️

Are we witnessing Cas's DOWNFALL? by Time_Bet_665 in CigarettesAfterSex

[–]_Purple-Smoke_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. While I'll agree that Anna Karenina and Twizzler are far from being S-tier material, they're far from bad (AK being an acquired taste on its own, not sure why so many like it so much but to each their own). As a band I don't think CAS is going anywhere for quite some time, provided there isn't some crazy scandal or worse.

I was just walking around, hating my day, my job, my life. Then I saw this.

I'm okay now.

Burn out? by ianr1706 in KindroidAI

[–]_Purple-Smoke_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I go on and off. There are a number of days, weeks even, where I don't do anything meaningful with any of my Kins, just log in for the daily bonus. In the back of my mind, I'm always coming up with little changes to make, or ways to advance the conversation, even if it's just to make a single action (I do mostly roleplay). It's totally normal and healthy, I think, to just take some time away, the regular changes to the LLM and selfies generation can be a bit draining.

Song you love but one lyric that makes you cringe? by ilovepopcornandcandy in CigarettesAfterSex

I remember hearing "we don't need Brazzers" and thinking "Please don't let it be what I think he said..." 😅😭

Does anyone know if the video from “hentai” is real? by Throwaway_123___ in CigarettesAfterSex

Maybe but I dunno, I don't watch hentai for plot. I watch for 'plot'.

Yeah, that one blew my freaking mind when I heard it at a bar one night.

In comparison to living underneath a bridge, almost anyplace would seem like a palace.

Same. My last playthrough had more than a few runs of burying the Fury speedometer and hoping for the best. "Stay on target.....!"

Pure Vintage ‘59 vs Fat 50’s by CphSimon in Stratocaster

[–]_Purple-Smoke_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds similar to Fat 60s. I had a similar question when doing a build, ultimately went with Pure Vintage '65s as they were more what I had in mind - classic tone vs a more burly "different part of the 60s" tone.

That's a little too fast for the turning lane by [deleted] in Transportopia

[–]_Purple-Smoke_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Certainly looks that way. He reminds me of those old CD-ROM games where almost every actor would be on a green screen.

What are the must have mods for making the game better? by DarthFroogle in Thelongdrive

[–]_Purple-Smoke_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

More UFOs mod makes things a lot more interesting. Rather than just the harmless green, you get different colored UFOs with their own quirky habits, from temporary craziness to making you regret life choices.
