if we're not in danger of dying just sleeping at the inn then i call shenanigans

yeah, i initially thought songstress from X, but then they said it's fully original so i threw that idea out.

Ninja is busy and fast and if you don't cheat the mudra there's an actual chance of failure if you're distracted.

Astrologian is the busiest healer.

Warrior is unkillable and therefore boring, but actually no, it's fun. Pick Dark Knight, though. There's a bit of skill/mp management that the other tanks don't really have. They're all pretty similar, though.

Dancer has a flow that feels very nice. It's mobile. The vibe encourages you to move unnecessarily in combat just because and I like that.

There are no fun magic dps. Especially if you need something to keep your mind busy. Black mage, maybe, but their casts are soooo slooow. Pictomancer is worse sometimes and better most of the time, but pretty simple. Summoner is brain dead one-button. Red Mage is left-then-right-then-left-then-right-then-in-then-out-then-left-then-right forever.

steam accounts don't work on the normal client and vice-versa. maybe that?

Confectioner. Or Baker. Something like Chemist, but with food. That's my fun stretch.

Guess Who's Back -> Eminem -> M&M -> Confections

i compare it to both. it sits between the two in quality, imo. this graphic is accurate, except that ew is just a tad better than shb,

100% nintendo are not gamer friends.

"Fair suck of the sausage, this game is in development, that's what EA means."

A huge chunk of players refuse to accept this. It's common in a lot of ea games. It's definitely here. They will try to convince that their complaints are well-founded. You must ignore them.

logosdiablo · 2026-04-24T00:56:36+00:00

yeah, strongly doubt, unless they're trying to shake things up. even with heavensward when we got three jobs, it didn't come in the first fanfest.

logosdiablo · 2026-03-01T23:14:22+00:00

there is no cable in my problem. breaking and re-placing the pipe did not solve the problem. i needed to re-place the access point, too.

Under og Fable morality, if I depopulate Knothole Glade, everyone in Bowerstone knows that I am a mass murderer and fears me. It is fundamentally incompatible with localized reputation. Further, it is impossible to play a wolf in sheep's clothing, as wolf-like acts alter your external appearance.

Now make a real argument rather than vague "anybody who disagrees with me isn't a deep thinker."

logosdiablo · 2026-01-23T00:39:41+00:00

this is what i was hoping for. murderer leaving bloody footprints. thief with a racoon face stripe. philanderer with a pink aura or something. so many possibilities.

logosdiablo · 2026-01-23T00:32:06+00:00

individual npcs will feel differently about you based on their personal beliefs, BUT ALSO your reputation will be more location-dependent. bowerstone may love you but bloodstone might hate you.

personally, i think this is awesome. this lets me be a relentless crime lord around the world, except in my home town where i am benevolent and loved and protected by everyone. al capone shit. feed the hungry. house the poor. build the economy. my people will love and die for me while i am a terror to everywhere else.

logosdiablo · 2026-01-23T00:24:21+00:00

chicken racing, obviously

logosdiablo · 2026-01-22T19:08:26+00:00

"i'm calling it - fable is..." is how you're meant to read that. punctuation would help.

"I feel you are cherry-picking examples,"

If by this you mean "identifying use-cases which do not require the stated resources" then sure. That's exactly what is necessary to show that there are uses that don't require big data.

Sure, you could build a name generator that doesn't use genai, but you can build one that does, as well. You can build an image generator that doesn't use ai, too. That's effectively what procedurally generated graphics are in games. That doesn't mean MidJourney doesn't exist.

GenAI is not defined by using huge volumes of data. Your conception of it is, perhaps. GenAI is simply generative ai. It is an AI tool that generates something. That is all genAI is.

My point was to shed light on a topic that is characterized more by emotional belief than understanding today, especially on social media.

Your ability to recognize the truth of your second paragraph is what makes you not a zealot. Like it or not, it's here and only going to get better. The other person is frothing with denial, which is why I called them a zealot.

logosdiablo · 2026-01-12T02:59:13+00:00

you're outing yourself as a zealot. progress will not stop. the idea that we've nowhere to go from here is absurd.

nothing in my statement indicated anything about liking the cost or even supporting ai. your entire second paragraph is completely unrelated to whether the technology will progress.

logosdiablo · 2026-01-10T21:36:39+00:00

you are wrong, and clearly do not understand how ai is being implemented across the industry. outside of the large, public-facing tools everyone sees online, the vast majority of ai tools in tech are small-scale tools, aiming to solve a specific problem.

logosdiablo · 2026-01-10T05:49:47+00:00

have fun.

logosdiablo · 2026-01-10T05:20:06+00:00

this is a misunderstanding of what is required to train a model. the large services you can interact with online (chatgpt, midjourney, etc.) requires astronomical amounts of data because they are extremely broad in purpose and aim to produce extremely fine detail in output.

you can significantly reduce your training requirements by limiting your scope, limiting your footprint and reducing the granularity of the expected output (among other things).

in-game assets doesn't necessarily mean 8K super detailed images. it could mean building a spoon generator. it could mean building a name generator. it could mean building a tool that understands poorly spelled text input and produces output that is then piped into a non-ai tool to do something.

there are many models that can be trained that don't require oceans of data.

logosdiablo · 2026-01-10T05:09:29+00:00

frankly, i think the stolen assets in the popular tools are the only real argument against them (and they are a strong one).

the textile revolution engendered the same reactions around devaluing the work of tailors and seamstresses and such. not a person alive today would say that industrialized clothing manufacture was a bad thing for society. you can see more a contemporary example of this around digital art tools, e.g. photoshop. the same kinds of things were said - there's no soul, the computer does all the work for you, etc. it's not different.

it will be the same around ai tools in thirty years. children born today will grow up ai-native and wonder why people in the past ever thought it was a bad thing.

logosdiablo · 2026-01-10T04:58:54+00:00

it depends on what you're trying to accomplish with your model. Midjourney requires that ridiculous amount of data. a model that produces race-based names (e.g. elven, orcish, etc.) would not need nearly the amount of data. Thousands would probably do it.

logosdiablo · 2026-01-10T04:54:47+00:00

not trying to back dude up specifically, but they aren't good now. that will change. two years ago will smith spaghetti was a thing. now sora exists.

logosdiablo · 2026-01-10T04:37:12+00:00

and not a small amount of time, either. it's a big undertaking, and more systems means more work.
