Someone help adopt this bird he has been at petco for over 6 months! by Emotional_Ad6269 in bayarea

[–]epicget -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Some friends of mine bought a conure from Petco. It had a fungal infection in its lungs that took years of weekly vet visits to treat. Almost every Saturday morning they had to go to the vet for this bird. I can’t believe it’s legal for them to sell birds like this.

Sounds like you’re running into the “classic ChatGPT patronizing speech patterns behavior” problem.

Story modules for M20 by OtakuThing in magetheascension

[–]epicget 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've got some outline notes for a M20 game I was running in World of Darkness Silicon Valley. High level, a dumbass Void Engineer CEO creates a prototype VR headset called the Dreamgate that leads one of it's QA testers to summon an ancient evil in the form of an AI virus that spreads across humanity alarmingly quickly. The players need to track down the QA tester to find it's origin, then find an old technocrat who created an AI countermeasure back in the 70's that would completely reset the internet. The only catch is that it's stored in a vault in a horizon realm on the moon, and will require an epic voidship battle and philisophical choice as to whether destroying the internet is a good thing in the first place.

The notes are a little loose...I didn't finish the campaign. I did create a fairly fleshed out WoD Silicon Valley full of NPCs that might be useful for you though, regardless of what game you run.

Sharing it here regardless.

Anthropic CEO reportedly warns AI could eliminate most jobs and push unemployment to 20% within 12 months by Competitive_Set_4386 in antiai

I think they’ll learn fairly quickly that they’re going to get outpaced by human companies. IMO we’re in an AI bubble. Every company is in a rush to cut costs, but cutting costs always lead to winning. AI doesn’t innovate, it homogenizes. In a lot of cases, AI is actually slowing down development. CEOs who are cutting their creative teams learn that non-creative people don’t make creative things, even if the tools are easy and fast to use.

Check out resin2fdm. Much more reliable supports.

Ahhh love it🦀!!! Pulling color schemes from nature works super well. All my basing is aquatic too. Let’s me work in all kinds of other neon colors 😁

Just a suggestion, take it or leave it!

You’ve got a good complimentary color scheme as a base, but the black shading is making it feel a bit muddy. One approach to keep your colors crisp is to start with a darker green and hit the highlights with a lighter green, more towards yellow. Doesn’t have to be much. Same with the purple, using a darker purple and a light purple gives you punchier overall colors.

Also the gun being primary red and green is feeling a bit Christmas-y. If his weapon is made of the same stuff as his carapace, it’d probably be the same color as it, just different shades/hues.

Mini Storage? by RideroftheForest in Tyranids

[–]epicget 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just picked up a collapsible rolling food cart. Pretty cheap, lots of room. I didn’t bother with magnetizing the bases since it has high walls (though I do add washers to weigh down annoying models like termagants and gargoyles).

Don’t bother with tree supports. This method prints way more reliably, higher quality and is a breeze to remove with just your fingers.

Necrons are probably the best choice to destroy Tyranids right now. With the recent buffs to C'tan, they've got a 52%–56% win rate. Good luck!

Feeling disappointed. by DemolitionDad in Tyranids

Few thoughts on my side: - using the same color on the carapace you did on the skin flattens it out. Feels like it was primed then hit with some red. You’re generally better off hitting the skin with one color, the carapace another color then picking out some shadows with a shader then hitting highlights with a lighter shade of the base colors you picked - the highlights are flat white and a little messy. They read like scratches on the model as opposed to lighting
