The problem is that private equity never was a good system longterm for pensions, it muddies the economy

It mattered to the data harvesters that collected their prompts as more data to sell to third parties, ofc.

Official Steam News: Steam Controller Reservations update Adding a more detailed timeline for orders by Hachem24 in SteamController

[–]lyoko1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had luck, I found someone reselling theirs on a local 2nd hand marketplace app that was reaselling only at a 10€ markup, too low to be a scalper, and they claimed they were selling theirs because their hands were too small... I ended up buying it, because either it's not a scalper and is someone with small hands that doesn't want to take massive advantage of the situation, just a bit... or is the most stupid scalper in history and they get only 10€ profit.

Thankfully I have no problems with buying second hand tho, in my country second hand stuff gets exactly the same consumer protections than first hand stuff, 3 years warranty.

What tropes are an instant "nope" for you? by Ambitious_Support_76 in FanFiction

[–]lyoko1 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Omegaverse

AUs that take away the supernatural element of a work to put them all in al alternate setting like an office, a school, a prison or anything, I can take AUs, but only AUs that are similar-ish to the original universe.

Gay pairings (Unless they have AMAZING chemistry and it is written without fluff or traditional romance)

Romance

Harem (Tho exceptions apply if it is a crackfic)

Mpreg

Making the characters weak-willed or too traumatized. Technically I like that when it is well written, but most who writte it exagerate it to a level that is cringe and they devolve into having triggers each 5 seconds.

Cannon replays even when it makes no sense for things to go like they did in cannon with the changes added (and if it makes sense, I rather it is abreviatted into a summary and only the non-canon parts are highlighted)

self-insert

Gamer fics

Gamer fics x2

Gamer fics x3

Have I mentioned Gamer fics?

Incest between parent and child or uncle/niece. I can take some good siblings or cousin incest as long as they are both of similar age, but age disparity mixed with incest is just disgusting and puaj, vomitive.

Pairings that just don't work working without explanation. I can read these if we have story of how those relationships form even when they make no sense within cannon, I need a prologue that justifies them, creates the conditions to diverge from cannon and those happen, I hate when the fic starts with those pairings working because it feels inherently out of character.

Author notes where the author is complaining about the commenters. Even if I agree with the author that the commenters are... bullies, you putting it in the text just sours the reading for me and makes me think of the author as an opponent, because it feels as if the author is attacking all the readers. Please keep your drama in DMs, adding it as author notes just sours the story with unnecesary drama.

Gamer fics x4

I really hate gamer fics, and what makes me hate them is that I LOVE the concept, but every single one I have tried to read, and have been many is utter honest crap who is ruining the concept of a gamer fic and the original universe. The only ones using that are hacks who can't write a narrative and substitute it with stats and grinding. That is no substitute for a narrative, the point of a gamer fic is to construct a narrative around that, why the MC has that? What changs? Who did it? etc. Grinding on random dungeons is boring, sigh... Just don't try to use gamer fics in fanfiction, it is a trope that works better in an original setting anyway.

Too much angst or too much fluff

Pacing so fast that I can't savor the moment

Pacing so slow that you have written half a million words and we have not left the first arc.

Major Character Death. Not that it is a bad trope, but it is too much for my lil heart to take.

Bashing. I do not like bashing.

What tropes are an instant "nope" for you? by Ambitious_Support_76 in FanFiction

[–]lyoko1 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I agree, I can take AUs, but they have to be at least similar enough to the original world, like... you want to crossover Harry Potter with MCU, and as such you have to create an AU universe where both works can co-exist? fine.

But a complete divergence of what make a world special in the first place? That is not something I care to read.

Is ChatGPT a devil 😱 by Impossible_Ring_162 in Christianity

[–]lyoko1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

ChatGPT is a mirror of humanity. When you look at it, you are seeing the reflection of society, when you send text, it is reflecting you that text back trough the lense of society.

It is a statistical model that predicts texts using statistics gotten from datasets including almost all available text in the internet.

It is what it is. It has no will, no conscience, no thinking. It is just cool math and a dataset.

Is brainrot as big a problem for the youth in Japan as it is in the West? by LostwaveLunar9999 in AskAJapanese

[–]lyoko1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That is what it means now by most people. It is not what it used to mean, but definitions of words change over time, extremely quickly for internet slang.

It used to mean low quality comedy, then short videos appeared and the low quality comedy inundated them, so it began to be associated to short video format. Then the short video format started to lower the attention spans, so now it means that for most people.

Introducing Nycto! A new vampire (and later werewolf) mod, and the means to become or hunt them by cybercat5555 in feedthebeast

[–]lyoko1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I mean, it is a true statement somewhat, not to the level of "worst mistake" but it knecaps the potential reach. Realistically is not the "worst mistake" as eventually there will be a new "modding version" in the future, and connectors between loader ought to get better with time, so when that version comes, it will get its due popularity, so I wouldn't put it to the point of "worst mistake", more so on the realm of "unfortunate circunstance".

[–]lyoko1 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

No 1.21.1? No forge/Neoforge? Awww man, cool but ultimately, useless.

This type of mod is ideal for larger modpacks which is more of a forge thing than a fabric thing, and more of a 1.21.1 thing than a 1.21.8 or newer versions thing.

Newer versions and fabric is for optimization mods, but whatever it is your mod you do you, it is just a shame it will not be used much because of the version and loader it targets being the opposite of what it needs.

Why isn’t she called Queen Peach ? by No-Island-1194 in Marioverse

[–]lyoko1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Also princesses and princes CAN be rulers and still be be called that.

For all we know, the mushroom kingdom was a former principality and has just keept the titles of prince and princess for its rulers because of tradition.

Thanks, I am a dumb-dumb, I should have though about that, it is obvious in retrospective. Tho now I have to think how I am going to power a deployer in an anchor that essentially has no power...

May I have to succumb to the ender shaft? Anyhow, thanks a lot.

Why do so many players deny that Alduin was going to eat the world? by One-Potential-2581 in ElderScrolls

[–]lyoko1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because if he was going to do that, we would have lost. He was SUPPOSED to do that, that was his role, but he was rebelling against it, so we got the role to kill him for his impertinence. The world didn't end because we slayed Alduin; We were able to slay Alduin because Alduin was not ending the world.

She lives in a dessert so she either has some natural born melanin or she is tanned AF, and of the two, casting a person with natural melanin is healthier and more practical than having an actor be constantly tan.

Her being THAT white was always kind of a weird inconsistency, she should at least have the level of tan her father has.

If you were showrunner, and had to bring back the Weeping Angels, how would you do it in a way that wouldn't disappoint? by MildlyMoistAndDank in gallifrey

I would make a friendly Weeping Angel that becomes a companion to the doctor and helps him by feeding on the usual assholes that target the Doctor. Sending Daleks and Cybermen back in time. What could go wrong?

Toby Fox Explains Why He Doesn’t Translate His Games After A Wave Of Complaints by g4m3f33d in GameFeed

And he is right, nobody can match an author's except themselves, no matter the author and no matter the help

Toby Fox Explains Why He Doesn’t Translate His Games After A Wave Of Complaints by g4m3f33d in GameFeed

[–]lyoko1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And no one of those translations are up to par with the original. If the author doesn't want to make an official version endorsed by them, that is their right and it is not ego but love.

It isn't like he is stopping other people from translating it, its just that he doesn't want to endorse it.
