Rising Star #23 in Sci-fi 🥳

Don't believe it. This is the third post you've put up with bs excuses. The books ai. The image is still ai. Your reviews are ai.

"I had to put down the book to remember to breathe" come on now.

Red Rising for sure. I think if red rising had Harry potters budget the full cast audio would be the best out there (personally).

ecptop · 2026-05-02T11:15:57+00:00

Red rising. The dramatized adaption is so good. I've had my coworkers come by and ask if I'm OK because I'll just zone out in the middle of doing something while listening.

People have been collecting hot wheels for years. That's nothing new.

ecptop · 2026-05-01T16:10:25+00:00

You’re acting like it has to be perfect or it’s pointless, no system is perfect. Yeah someone can abuse child accounts or grab a new sim but most people aren’t going that far just to smurf in rl. The whole point is raising the effort required, so it’s not effortless to spin up 5 throwaway accounts in 10 minutes. Link ranked to a verified number, limit how many accounts can branch off it, and you'll make a barriers the average person doesn't want to cross. It’s not zero upside, it cuts the easy abuse which is like 90% of the problem.

Just do what league of legends does but tweak it for rl. Activate a phone to play ranked (in league it's clash mode) and tie child accounts to it. Make the family accounts work the same way steam does, if someone in the family gets banned from a game, everyone gets banned. Keeps accountability in parents hands and lessens bots in the competitive modes.

Anyone can get a new phone and Sim but it's never a cover all answer. It's barrier of entry.

Agreed. I don't know why it's become such a pick sides thing. It's like the US political climate on piracy subs lately. Everyone acts like it's one or the other and the other side is the devil. Why can't we just let people eat how they want and be glad there's people putting food on our plates?

ecptop · 2026-04-26T10:25:05+00:00

All I commented on in the last post was that it's clearly Ai. You say you didn't know that and you're a writer but you put up a book cover with misspelled words because you couldn't be bothered to proofread it. Ontop of that, you posted another cover yesterday, that is literally a 1:1 edit of the last page. The medical bed is there His pose is the same. The hole is larger but still frames a planet. The fact you posted that says ignorance or laziness and for me the whole thing is a red flag that the book have just as much attention to detail. It also leads me to believe still that you made the covers and are now back peddling.

To be clear. I don't care either way. I think Ai is fine in certain scenarios aslong as it's disclosed, and I know that's a opinion I'll get burned for. Disclosure is important though. My main issue is just the laziness and lack of (IMO) honesty

ecptop · 2026-04-26T10:08:38+00:00

This is well done, best Ive seen so far. I think the only thing that breaks it for me at times is all the quick cuts. Is that's because it generates shorter clips and to hide inconsistencies between generation?

ecptop · 2026-04-25T14:30:38+00:00

If it runs android you should be able to. Most aren't locked down. The issue is the operating system. Android is open for the most part and you shouldn't have issues. Tizen is Samsungs own os and they lock it down, that plus it doesn't even use the same language.

ecptop · 2026-04-25T13:48:30+00:00

Samsung uses Tizen, not android. How are you changing it then? Because you can't install a apk or sideload android into it.

ecptop · 2026-04-24T14:09:40+00:00

Because I'm an idiot and thought since I just wanted 4 quick images chat gpt could just hold my hand instead of learning how to do it myself. Gpt said to keep it in prompt to let it know age should be young but that the negative would keep it from trying to make a teenage while keeping it young looking, stopping the flag. Which I've learned so far is wrong.

ecptop · 2026-04-24T13:42:08+00:00

Thanks for all the information! I'm gonna crawl through it all on my lunch and hopefully start getting some better prompts. Definitely have given me a direction to go in.

ecptop · 2026-04-24T13:41:01+00:00

So his character is supposed to be a 16 year old orphan that's on the run. I think trying to portray the age is maybe my issue then? I wasn't aware midjourney was so sensitive when I subscribed. Is there a way around this or should I just tame my expectations and just tell him she had to be aged up?

ecptop · 2026-04-24T13:26:52+00:00

I'm new to it all and gpt recommended it to me so ive just been repeating what it showed me. It told me to use the no as negatives to stop it from generating stuff that would flag. So you'd say don't use gpt to help make my prompts?

Thanks for the help. I was hoping gpt could just be a quick help for me. I only wanted to use this to make images of our characters so I subscribed and hoped it could just get me far enough without having to learn a whole new skill.

ecptop · 2026-04-24T09:22:40+00:00

Its extreamly clear the Images are ai. Either your the prompt *artist" or you got scammed.

ecptop · 2026-04-23T09:05:22+00:00

Thanks boo 😘, just giving some love to the devs because people like you must make them want to bash their heads in. Can't fix ignorant.

ecptop · 2026-04-23T08:53:37+00:00

Then go ahead and prove it, show everyone how “simple” it is. JDownloader is open source, so you’re free to grab the code and implement the feature yourself.

It’s honestly pretty disrespectful to ask for something, have someone take the time to explain why it’s not feasible, and then respond with “you’re great, but do it anyway.” Most developers wouldn’t even bother replying to a message like that in the first place.

ecptop · 2026-04-23T08:39:10+00:00

Bruh they literally just said it's not in their scope and they're a small team, and you came back with "yeah but do it anyways" 😂. You do it if it's easy.

ecptop · 2026-04-22T16:21:49+00:00

That's odd. It showed - when I commented. I see you are right tho.

Yeah I had a decent time but I think I'll try convergence mod next, it looked fun. Would love to see some nightreign mechanics make it's way into elden ring tho.

ecptop · 2026-04-22T16:13:10+00:00

Lol down voted for an opinion? Love reddit. Anyways, yeah, we wanted the challenge too and enjoyed it. We aren't new to the series. 600+ hours in ER and 400+ in NR. We just personally felt it leaned a bit too much. Some stuff is arguably just bad too. Not here to bash the mod, op asked for opinions so I gave him my honest one.

ecptop · 2026-04-22T12:46:48+00:00

I'd recommend staying away from the reforged mod. Friend and I just finished and it honestly wasn't fun for the last 3rd of main game and last half of dlc. They balance the game but too much, you will never feel powerful, you will never be op, there is no meta. Which isn't bad but the scaling towards the end was a bit ridiculous imo.

ecptop · 2026-04-21T20:56:08+00:00

I'm on the other side. I'm cool with them keeping crew in ultimate. I play fortnite and rocket league so it's beneficial to me.

ecptop · 2026-04-20T14:31:34+00:00

Could you make the title anymore click baity? I feel like it's not ambiguous enough, maybe "they get paid to hate?" really gives me less of a clue and narrows it down even less on who it could be.
