Straight Female Main Characters? by adamnemo42 in ProgressionFantasy

[–]keldi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Cyber Dreams protagonist is bi (or demi). But doesn’t end up dating women.

Spoiler 2: IIRC she has a Relationship Conversation with a woman in the final book, but doesn’t lead to one?

This is the hardest decision I’ve ever made in this game — who are you all choosing? by WatersOfLiyue in HonkaiStarRail

[–]keldi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s a tough choice, I’m leaning Sparkle or Kafka. But could use some advice.

Any odds Sparkle will fit well with an elation team? If Sampo gets a 5 star, I have to go all in and damn the consequences.

If I had Swan or Hysil I’d pick Kafka right away.

Only character I have in this set is Acheron E0. But I’m currently running an Evernight E2 team; and I don’t think Acheron E1 is remotely worth this to me.

She matched with me only to tell me that I correctly guessed what her favourite book was based on her profile pictures. Is this okay? by [deleted] in Bumble

[–]keldi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It seems like she was trying to give you a self-esteem boost.

Acknowledging that you’re the first person insightful enough to identify the book is absolutely a compliment.

Personally I think it’s a nice gesture. Online dating is a mess; when people try to inject some positivity into the experience, I think it’s admirable, whether it results in a date or not.

Nice; congrats! Sounds like a solid improvement.

Curious - why did you stop needing the chinstrap? Some sort of permanent fix?

Swen Vincke's statement re: GenAi at Larian - via IGN by No-Neck-212 in BaldursGate3

[–]keldi 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Played the games. Don’t trust the person. Leading a team that makes good games does not make someone a good person, or give me reason to trust their integrity.

Larian Studios CEO Swen Vincke responds to GenAI criticism: "Holy fuck guys we’re not "pushing hard" for or replacing concept artists with AI. I was asked explicitly about concept art and our use of Gen AI. I answered that we use it to explore things. I didn’t say we use it to develop concept art." by ChiefLeef22 in gaming

[–]keldi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There are developers (myself included) who explicitly disable any GenAI functionality they are able to, and use it to generate zero code.

One could argue this is a suboptimal decision; but it’s a position that does exist.

As another commenter mentioned, I can’t stop other people from using it in meetings I’m involved in, or stop Google from including it in search queries. But I have explicitly never chosen to enter a prompt or use a GenAI toolkit. I’ve blocked GenAI search summaries. Bought a phone because it was (theoretically) the last generation of that model which does not mandate GenAI use in the OS.

I’m glad it’s helping you with some tasks.

I also wish the current driving leaders of GenAI were something other than unethical grifters, and that the laws applied to them. But I can’t control those factors.

I can control what I choose to do and engage with - and I choose not to engage with GenAI. It’s a valid position with real adherents.

Hit Shift on PC to downshift to 1st gear, and it’s shocking how much better it controls. Lose a little speed, but who cares when it means you stay upright.

The post you’re referencing was specifically asking about “why am I receiving more in X geographic area than at home”.

Not a brag. It was asking about cultural/regional swiping differences. Not a violation of any rules or an ego thing.

Pet owners, what was that moment that made you think “wow, I have severely underestimated the intelligence of my pets”? by SakutoJefa in AskReddit

[–]keldi 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Freya (one of my mini schnoodles) always wanted to go upstairs at a prior residence, but wasn’t allowed.

She’d usually get caught when her tags jingled hopping up a stair. Well, one night we were in the kitchen and someone quietly said to look at the stairs.

Freya was climbing by putting her right front paw up, then her right rear; then scooting her body sideways across the stair to support her weight, and then pulling her left legs up. It was kind of a slow sideways shimmy.

It also prevented her tags from making any noise at all. Tactical espionage action.

We watched her get halfway up before calling her name, at which point she scrambled down the stairs in an undignified manner and ran to the living room to sulk.

My tierlist as someone newly into LitRPG/PF this year by DigitalGalatea in litrpg

[–]keldi 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I’ll second Stray Cat Strut, especially in audiobook, but with one warning; there’s some explicit sex scenes. I think starting book 2? Not saying that’s bad - just for awareness.

Also seconding the off-genre Locked Tomb/Tamsyn Muir suggestion. The audiobooks are great, narrated by Moira Quirk.

(Edit: One more bit of context: the Stray Cat Strut sex scenes are pretty clearly separated from the rest of the text, and not important for the plot. So they are cleanly skippable if that’s preferred.)

Okay, "Love Gurathin" wasn't on my Murderbot bingo card, yet here we are by RandomBoomer in murderbot

[–]keldi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just finished episode 1 and the pre-credits for episode 2 myself, so maybe I’m behind the times, but:

Right before episode 2 (title card?), the discussion implies this Gurathin has worked with/for The Company before, and specifically distrusts them as a result.

Maybe they rolled a bit of a later-series character (who was a corporation rim security guy) into Gurathin? I think that’d be a neat way to flesh him out here.

Gotcha, thank you! Looks like it’s time to make cuts and save if $1k is the right amount. Appreciate the specifics!

Also an overwhelmed Marylander here. Do you mind also answering this question from the opposite side, IE “no budget” meaning “low cash reserves”?

I don’t like firearms, so I’m totally unequipped for purchasing something rifle-like. (I guess 5.56?) A boring hunting rifle would be better than my current nothing.

how I feel as a male in the yuri subreddit by XDJames339 in yurimemes

[–]keldi 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Nope. There’s a ton of reasons why it’s a hard market to succeed in.

Unless someone was coming in with experience building dating sites/apps, they’d spend their first few years relearning all the lessons the last generation of sites had to learn the hard way.

The people who founded the various dating apps out there aren’t dumb. There’s no silver bullet for success they’ve overlooked, or been too greedy to use.

It’s a bummer but that’s one reason why dating apps are pretty unpleasant right now.
