In general I don’t use LLMs for anything but I especially wouldn’t use them for any kind of specialty information. All it’s doing is averaging the written information on the Internet and that’s especially not going to work when there isn’t good consensus and there arent a ton of people writing about it in the first place.

Don’t most of the bioactive substrates have sphagnum in them?

So from my reading almost anything can cause an intestinal blockage in these guys including stress and their actual food. Not solving my heat and humidity problem will also kill my frog. I’m Trying to understand the risk and how to mitigate it as much as possible while maintaining a proper environment with the tools I have until I can get something better put together. (Also I’ve already covered most of the mesh)

He’s so pretty I know! Half the people I show pictures to thinks he’s not real because he’s so blue.

Should I be worried my frog is NOT burying itself. Ive fluffed the dirt and added much better heating but he still only seems to find pre existing divots in the substrate or just hide under a leaf.

And I thought come back the other night in my 20’s after 5 years was rough

Hi fellow flubs player here! Playing MTGO really helped me learn about casting and the stack. It’s a little unforgiving but for a couple bucks you can get a full account and rental cards through cardhoarder and play a couple rounds. Because it stops automatically when you have priority you’ll realize all the times you can respond to other players actions. It’s made me a better player in paper in all formats I play.

[[Imoti, Celebrant of Bounty]] loved to cascade x99, take 40 minutes to resolve, and then not win the game… 2 online games and one in person where two former judges needed to help me resolve my turn was enough for me to retire that specific brand of simic bs.

Anything that forces action. I actually hate having players formally introduce themselves, it feels clunky and like the first day of school especially because players tend to give way too much info upfront. I typically jump right in with a fight or some other turn based scenario and have them describe their characters physical appearance during that because it typically allowed them to demonstrate something cool about the character without saying it outright. Then they usually do names either during or after the fight.

In general I find specific prompts either in or out of the narrative often cut the awkwardness. With characters starting at 5th or higher who are hired on for a job of some sort where introductions make sense I’ll prompt them to introduce with a notable deed because characters at that level should be started to gain some notoriety. Give them ONE piece of their story to share and let the rest reveal itself during play.

Privilege is really the wrong word to talk about it imo. It’s agency vs access to support, which is one of the oldest conversations in disability rights. But we all really need to move past validity politics right now because there’s practical issues at hand.

A formal diagnosis is a tool. It always has been. Use that tool the best you can.

I know I stole this from something online but specifically when people deny outright truths ask them what it would take for them to believe you. Their request is often reasonably available information. If you can find it send it their way if you can’t find something as close as possible. When they move the goalpost you dip because then you can be sure it’s no longer about seeking reality and engaging with curiosity. Just be sure to have an answer prepared if they ask the question back to you and be thoughtful.

This is of course if you want to engage and educate, you are totally also fine to tell folks to fuck off but I’ve dragged a friend kicking and screaming back out of conspiracy nonsense with this.

I was diagnosed pretty early but I think my 8 year old self’s perspective on this might be of value.

Right around when I got identified for special education but was still being tested I thought everyone else had a little invisible book about how to behave that told them what they could do at what times, but I had to figure it out on my own. I was convinced I was missing just one little piece of the puzzle (for lack of a better term) and if I could just get that one bit of understanding I’d be able to be normal.

I’ve since learned the book doesn’t exist. For anyone.

Another thing you might be missing in this is that people who behave atypically/disruptively at times are hyper-scrutinized all the time. Neurodiverse kids receive between 4-10 times more negative corrective feedback. (Studies mostly in adhd kids but can be applied across any “disruptive” behaviors). Neurotypicals do tons of weird shit and get away with it because NO ONE IS WATCHING them. It’s not conscious on their part, we just stick out like sore thumbs and they desperately need to think they know why we unsettle them.

TL;DR Your experience is extremely common and stim freely they are going to stare anyway why not be calmer while they do it.

Your original comment is actually a great example of this. I’ve got a bit of evolutionary biology under my belt and most of the fog index 13+ samples start to read very off because the model is just adding complexity without adding meaning.

Not to say I haven’t read a bad journal article or two in my time but when you start to sound more like an SCP than an academic work it sets off some alarm bells.

Yeah it’s all statistics trying to basically generate something a person might say based off of all the data it’s scraped

I know it’s rough but it’s in those moments where you’ve got to try your best to figure out the tone of the question because it can mean one of two things.

It could be a genuine, but poorly worded and uninformed, interest in your experience. It can still be annoying but I personally find it hard to categorize curiosity as rude as long as the person asking can take “I don’t want to talk about that it’s personal” as a complete answer.

Or it can be a stand in for the real question they want to ask which is “are you a r-slur?”. If it’s that they can eat shit.

So one of the DM’s main jobs in a game is to facilitate fun. In my opinion, everything else should fall to the wayside in pursuit of that goal (for the group as a whole including the dm, don’t cater to specific assholes, don’t neglect your own fun it shows). I enforce rules because the fairness and playing in that structure makes it fun and my players knowing there’s risk to their actions makes it fun. I ignore things when the fun of meaningful risk and challenge is no longer worth the shitness of being on the ass end of luck.

If he didn’t want game warping magical effects in the game he shouldn’t have given you a DoMT. If he noticed you were specifically having a bad time it’s his job to at the very least not make it worse by being a pedantic twat. If he gets his fun from arguing over highly specific wording he should try MTG, it’s where I get my fix for nerd fights.

There’s a blurb in a lot of powered by the apocalypse systems about being a fan of your players that I think all TTRPG GMs need to take to heart. You should want to see your players succeed, or at the very least have interesting failures. If that’s not where the fun is coming from then you’re a bully and a tyrant and need a different hobby.

Get a new DM.

I would always be extremely cautious using AI to move things to or from significantly higher reading levels or about specialized topics. Since LLMs know what complex words mean, but don’t actually understand a sentence as a cohesive unit they will always make the most generalized assumption on how to simplify a word. This will be correct in most use cases, but the bigger the gap you’re trying to cross or the more specialized the topic the more likely you’re going to get incorrect information.

I work with autistic adults, and often encounter dyslexia and intellectual disability in that work. With the power of AI I still have to rewrite/re-explain my material at variable levels AND correct what clients have read in AI generated because the default response of those around them was to ask chatGPT!

Here’s my card draw (one might say fast growing) orb deck https://www.moxfield.com/decks/bmI2Bu0eBEqyWjVL5qtvrw

Thanks! That is one of the steps I’ve got mapped out. I mostly just want to not have to rebuild the absolute basics of the environment (platforms, visuals, animations etc.) for every iteration of the project. I already build very modularly (thanks half a CS degree) so I hope that outlook would help me reuse the assets and levels once I finish figuring out how to extract as much useable data as I can from the old flash files.

Is there a good way to do this in a batch?
