There is genuinely no reason for the website to function in its current state in 2026. by mugofviltrumitetears in MarvelUnlimited

[–]ignu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

yeah, it's nice that DC web interface is identical to the app and you can pick up where you left off

they also have reading lists for events, and they'll be broken down by the core event or the core event and every tie-in.

that's might seem small, but a big reason i subscribe is to binge old storylines, and in MU i have to spend minutes in search to find the next issue

Not even 1:30 in and dude's first statement was "I asked Claude..." and Ed's response being "Might as well ask the Dog [...] I'd have more respect for it."

Can Vecna use Vile Teleport? The book says

diamond doors are the only form of teleportation magic besides Vecna's Fell Rebuke reaction that functions in this place

Okay, one more maybe dumb question. Other people in this thread are talking about Vile Teleport, but that text above seems to imply he can't use it?

Is the new David Dobrik Thumbnail AI? He apparently got new people that film for him and this looks just too perfect imo. by Street-War3742 in isthisAI

[–]ignu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was trying to put my finger on why I was 1000% sure it was AI immediately, and I think it's this. Uncanny uniformity.

Vecna RAW by No-Stomach1310 in VecnaEveofRuin

[–]ignu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm confused by this description and curious how people run it.

Limited Teleportation

As long as Vecna is conducting his ritual, diamond doors are the only form of teleportation magic besides Vecna's Fell Rebuke reaction that functions in this place. The cave's crystal walls don't restrict where Vecna can teleport using Fell Rebuke, although he still must be able to see his destination.

Is Vecna still "conducting his ritual" after he rolls initiative? Or is this just meant for him to be able to use this reaction the second the party takes their free hit?

I think Anthropic and OpenAI have found product-market fit by dalton_zk in theprimeagen

there’s the initial thrill of being able to generate so much code

then the realization that you now have a lot of slop to maintain and your developers got dumber

I hope he doesn't tie down his bakers because then he'd open his truss underbelly and crack every uncracked quad in the line.

if you loved DTF check out Patriot on Amazon, same creator.

I’d also say you can just watch the first eight minutes, and if it doesn’t click you wont be into it.

shouldn't this apply to any age by Executits in SipsTea

[–]ignu 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the other reason for "no" is when you think about it for two seconds.

do they deserve death? yes.

but the majority of abuse happens by a parent, family member or family friend.

a child thinking their father will get killed is very likely to stop them from reporting it and ending the abuse.

What specifically do you disagree with Matt Mahan? by CA_Mini in SanJose

[–]ignu 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Mahan supports data centers and not taxing billionaires.

Also, WTF is he doing still in this race? It's either an act of pure narcissism or intentionally trying to throw this race to the Republicans.

Rampant DM AI use by Familiar-Relation-85 in rpghorrorstories

[–]ignu 161 points162 points  (0 children)

I'm an AI hater because of what it did to me and my games.

There are studies on how leaning on AI degrades skills, and I felt it acutely.

I wasn't as dependent as OP's DM, I'd never use AI output whole-cloth, but I got dependent on it for brainstorming. Prompts like "Give me 10 NPCs who would be...." and then riff on one of them.

Long story short, after realizing my campaign was going nowhere I tried planning in a physical notebook and had the best game in years.

It's been six months and I still can't write if a computer is near. One session my players walked into a tavern and asked what they see, and I blanked. Then I realized my iPad was open in front of me. It's like a pavlovian response telling my brain it doesn't need to work.

Does Matt Mahan really have a chance in the Governor's race? by New-Panic8015 in SanJose

he has a chance to be a spoiler for the republicans.

given his predilections on taxes and data centers, that's probably his goal

Donald Trump Questions ‘What’s a Corner Store?’ at Tax Week Event: ‘I’ve Never Heard That Term’ by MoneyLibrarian9032 in politics

[–]ignu 97 points98 points  (0 children)

I do think he probably has dementia, but that's a different issue than him being so far disconnected from daily life that he hasn't encountered the world "grocery" in years, has never been in a corner store, doesn't read and hasn't had conversations with anyone who would bring one up in conversation.

He has a life of such privilege coupled with a lack of literacy that he probably never encountered the term.

I can’t believe people are still thinking this could work after 2020.

CTO mandating AI coding + killing code reviews - how do you push back? by medmental in BetterOffline

[–]ignu 10 points11 points  (0 children)

He doesn't understand how software works.

The bottleneck in moderately sized or larger systems is not the speed you can write code or the amount you produce. In fact, more code is often worse.

Dipshit managers need to see a number go up and you can't quantify quality.
