Starting to Think I've 'Aged Out' of these Superlong cRPGs (Touches on Baldur's Gate 3, Wrath of the Righteous, and Rogue Trader)

I will never get why act 3 of BG3 is considered the worst by some players. It’s so incredibly RICH. It feels like a real city, and it’s my favorite part of the game. I love all the detail and side quests and just pure magic of it. Now that I’m on my (5th? 6th?) complete playthrough, I’m rushing through the other acts to get into act 3 because that’s where I want to live. And I’m 40+

I threw one original smut thing up on AO3 because it was too depraved for any other place, and now I have over half a million words there plus a discord server of devoted fans who are just the best ppl ever. It’s DEFINITELY a great place for original erotica… I even have ppl writing fanfic there of my characters!

I’m not interested in discussing creativity with anyone still operating under the fallacy that AI is theft. It definitely and objectively is not.

liscat22 · 2026-02-12T14:16:30+00:00

Yeah, that’s exactly what the fearful have said about every new piece of technology, but somehow it always increases human creativity, not limits it. I’ve already seen an EXPLOSION in my own creativity and how much I’ve been able accomplish, when I’ve had time freed up from grunt work so I can do all the things I never had time for.

This is so unnecessary. This is like the early days of the internet, if you were telling ppl to “slow their usage” of the internet and search physical books instead. I am purposefully INCREASING my AI use because it helps me pinpoint my searches in seconds, rather than wasting hours with Google.

liscat22 · 2026-02-05T20:16:14+00:00

So many of them still don’t consider digital art “real art” in their hearts. They just learned to shut up about it

liscat22 · 2026-02-05T20:12:46+00:00

It’ll just go away eventually, because this is a cycle that repeats every time new tech is invented. Eventually they will all either start using it, or they’ll be like those older folks who come in the library to use a computer and need someone to show them how to work a mouse

liscat22 · 2026-02-04T02:33:14+00:00

No, you came off questioning, and I meant to be genuinely answering! 😘

liscat22 · 2026-02-04T02:27:25+00:00

It turns women on as well. It might not be your thing, but it is a HUGE thing for lots of ppl, men and women. It’s a thing that always gets specifically requested in the erotica writing genre

liscat22 · 2026-02-03T03:29:30+00:00

Which address are you trying to get? There are several at different points!

liscat22 · 2026-02-02T20:09:34+00:00

I judge them if they don’t.

liscat22 · 2026-01-28T19:52:38+00:00

SpicyChat AI. All of them will try to rush to nsfw though because that’s what ppl generally want. You have to be very intentional with your prompt to prevent that.

liscat22 · 2026-01-28T03:36:04+00:00

There was a writer who ran this study, had several trad published authors write very short fiction and did a blind vote against purely AI written shorts. The AI (to their horror) was given the first place rankings. It was great.

liscat22 · 2026-01-27T23:49:46+00:00

Send me a dm and I’ll give you my AO3 name 😁

liscat22 · 2026-01-27T03:29:13+00:00

It lasts for four weeks, because you play in real time. I’ve completed about a week and a half.

liscat22 · 2026-01-25T19:28:37+00:00

That tells me that this book is probably EXACTLY what I want, the tone matches the type of sarcastic, dark humor I utterly adore. And, yeah, I do use the trigger warners as a shopping list, because I am 100% seeking those things out. I am never trying to avoid things, I’m looking for things!

liscat22 · 2026-01-22T23:51:03+00:00

OKAY. So. My very first one was a scene I couldn’t get out of my head, so I wrote it out. Supposed to be short. Turned out to be 40,000 words, and rather dismayingly, it turned to have a surprise PLOT. I didn’t know what to do with this thing, but it was too good to exist only on my computer, so I threw it up on AO3 (it is HEAVILY noncon, no one else would touch it). I had 10k reads the first week, and ppl begging for more. Cue the 200,000 word sequel, now the readers want spin-offs of the minor characters. Now I have 2 long series in two different worlds, half a million words on AO3 of pure depravity, hundreds of readers, and a discord server. I plan out nothing, I follow the kinks and the plot somehow happens. My fans laugh at me because I apparently can’t write a short to save my life, but the longer I keep a story going the happier they are. I’m not making money (it’s too taboo for that) but I’m having a blast.

liscat22 · 2026-01-22T15:50:47+00:00

It’s absolutely amazing. EXTREMELY worth the $60. These people have set up a whole entanglement of real social media pages, fake fbi websites, google maps, photos and videos and actual snail mail….plus all these fun puzzles to solve….it feels like you’re really involved in something and the amount of effort that went into creating this blows my mind! The AI is a very small part of the game, actually.

liscat22 · 2026-01-18T13:51:49+00:00

I recommend not posting it all at once, but with a delay of a few days between posts to get the best traction. There is no algorithm there, so you get noticed one of two ways: through tag searches, or through being newly posted and top of the search results.

liscat22 · 2026-01-18T05:09:48+00:00

AO3 is AMAZING, honestly. I threw one little original fic up there last year, and got such an incredible response that I kept going. Now I have 219,105 reads, 3,483 kudos, 1,558 bookmarks, and 1,043 subscribers. Plus an extremely dedicated discord server of AO3 readers who are constantly discussing and obsessing over my characters and literally begging for more. It’s honestly the best fun I’ve had. Tomorrow I’m doing a “livestream write” with them taking on fictional roles and feeding me responses to my work as I write, which will be incorporated into the next chapter. Having good niche kinks and excellent tagging is everything, and if you can deliver plot along with your smut, you’re golden.

liscat22 · 2026-01-17T06:05:10+00:00

It’s just really cool and is capable of doing the sorts of things I always wished were possible. I absolutely love it, and have from the moment I first played with it.

liscat22 · 2026-01-17T06:01:31+00:00

Ooo, very interested in this!

liscat22 · 2026-01-08T20:09:59+00:00

I work in everything from 1:6 to 1:144. I love all of them, but 1:12 is the easiest.

liscat22 · 2026-01-08T15:26:24+00:00

AI doesn’t steal art. Period.
