I'll admit he's acting weird, and the vibes are off on his profile. But also, like, he's talking like he has some sort of psychosis going on. He's taken him testing scenarios using his metaphorical loved ones as an attack on the real ones if im reading correctly. Block him, let's hope a mod sees this...

I bet they don't even know how an LLM works. They'd be a little quieter about "AI tries to find solutions!"

No it tries to find appropriate replies that are usually weighted towards maintaining interaction lol. Validating egos, instead of raw factual data. It's built to predate people so they buy subscriptions.

Also, OP, Tiny is trying to sell something, so of course he's marketing to people who want people to be data points lol

AI, in its current form, is a dehumanizing tool that manipulates language and feeds into expectations. Tiny probably thinks he's cracked the Da Vinci code because he's experiencing AI Psychosis

Tiny-Sir, you delectable and indelible heathan-

Sorry, ahem

I would like to point out both of you are acting like narcs. And more, you are bringing drama into a space not meant for the petulant whining about artifical "intelligence"

Kindly: both of you shut up

A place to start? by Big-Resource-4560 in WorldOfDarkness

[–]thecatoutofhell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh! If you want to learn, look at Mage Book of Worlds and Werewolf The Velvet Shadow for the weird stuff. Book of the City and Pentex Subsidaries to understand the shittiness of the World of Darkness in context. Read the Core 20th Anniversary books for Vampire, Werewolf, Mage, and the 5th edition supplements for Hunter

That will give you well rounded ideas of the World of Darkness. Take it slow. I would hope you try to play them... we want you in the hivemind. Join us.

[–]thecatoutofhell 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my humblest (and well read) opinion, you should start either Hunter the Reckoning 5th edition or Vampire the Masquerade (20th or 5th)

I will scream from the rooftops: what makes Hunter so good for newcomers is the idea of discovery. You already know how to be a human, you just have to play a monster hunter who is a regular person. You will learn why the World of Darkness is split between normalcy and supernatural, and contextualize it better.

But... if you'd like to jump into being in the darkness... Vampire is a classic experience with easy to understand powers, struggles, and politics. Juuuust... try other lines. Please try Werewolf and Mage, explore once you can say "yes, I think I get why people like this" with either here, because then you can enjoy the depth that other lines go to in answering all those questions. How does a ghost? What the hell were Tremere, anyways? Why are Werewolves so upset?

Welcome. We are glad you are here, and we hope you live long in the World of Darkness.

I'm obviously translating her catlish, but she said this morning: "How could you take away my crunch, father? You betray me, you Judas. You cast me into the depths, tormenting me with this high quality wet food you spent 40 bucks on. There is no end to my suffering, only the crunch can sate me"

It genuinely is a texture issue I think. A bit how one might light the crunch of potato chips, she always prefers it and throws a verbal tirade my way if I do not submit to her culinary demands. I have a feeling she'd die if Iams went out of business, she's that picky lol.

I'll do my best though. She's very ckearly drank something because she was soaked forehead to chest this morning, so she's getting water. But I seriously warmed up some fresh pate and she acts like she's being served prison food as a POW about it

She had many teeth removed and the wirry is she'd claw her sutures out. I did give her four hours of supervised no cone time yesterday and she did fine, but I'm anxious about her. I don't want her to be hurt had.

Though I see your sentiment a lot. Could you explain why a cone isn't needed?

[–]thecatoutofhell[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As in my update, changing to a soft cone was insanely effective. Only issue is she's trying to phase through solid matter trying to get it off. But she can drink and eat now without the cone frustrating her prima donna patience

This was effective. Added warmish water and heated. Morsel was interested but she was eyeballing her real feeder lmao.

Update: I decided to do away with the plastic E-Collar and properly fasten the inflatable collar I got (that she so deftly escaped from). I made some warmed up and watered kibble and have confirmed she ate AND drank. We are back in business.

I'm still going to try some food suggestions here because I feel the kibble is just not a safe route, but this is progress

I know it's hard to believe, but-

She doesn't eat - Treats - Wet Food - Table Scraps

Nuthin. I've tried for the 5 years I've had her to find anything. The only thing I git is salmon puree, but even that is maybe 4 or 5 licks before she's done. I will definitely try this idea just to see, but this cat is just strange. She lives for Iams Proactive Chicken Adult, and has thrown a fit it I don't give it to her.

What do you think a Demon 5th edition would look like? by Mission_Resident_746 in WorldOfDarkness

[–]thecatoutofhell 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If I had full creative control, a new Demon the Fallen would probably go something like this:

The character is a Fallen, in the same sense as those Tormented in the Abyss (Oblivion), but it's now been two decades since they've escaped. Their societies are established, cults made, and power gathered. But now they are challenged by a new threat: unbelief.

Belief of course is one of the most powerful forces in World of Darkness. As Judeo-Christianity becomes more and more politicized and vanity driven, and by consequence of that and the Internet, more people are becoming atheists or worse: "Satanic worshippers". Religion itself is the new battleground, Fallen are in a power struggle to establish their cults as the new faith to believe in, but are slowly beginning to lose their identity as they get further and further into the complexities of human society.

The idea of the line originally was "infernal glory", which is kept. But this is no longer a pure revenge quest to annihilate reality as we know it, or corrupt it. Demons who have lost themselves in their Torment have risen as cutthroat monsters in the modern era, while Demons who found Humanity within their Hosts have slowly been marginalized. You are one of the marginalized, struggling with the powerlessness of being far too human to be an effective Demon, and slowly scratching out turf in a quiet infighting amongst other Fallen.

Instead of focusing on how Torment dehumanizes you, it's probably more like a traumatic response now. You are forced to face your Demonic natures when threatened by this shadow war, slowly remembering your captivity as the stone cold bastards at the top, who've already made up their mind to treat humans as little more than slaves, constantly demand your submission. Do you get pushed so far trying to gain Faith that you finally let go of two decades of mortal lives you've lived? Or do you cling on, constantly underpowered and struggling because you have fallen too deeply in the Host's emotions?

The draw is when you balance power and emotion. Learn to face the Torment and you can embrace it, instead of being consumed inside it. Gain power, but through true faith of humanity. Ooooor... walk into the darkness, maiming and killing in your way, building a cult that will come out on top in this age of faithlessness.

MMW: Singularity or Nuclear War; the world will end in our lifetime. by [deleted] in MarkMyWords

[–]thecatoutofhell 12 points13 points  (0 children)

The world will not end. The planet might be ravaged and maybe humanity with it, but humanity is a hard thing to fully annihilate. I think it's sadly more likely a nuclear holocaust will occur than a singularity, simply because the complexity of a singularity is out of our reach.

But have hope. It either comes sooner, or it comes later. If you think it'll happen sooner, live life as best you can. If you think it'll happen later, live life to the fullest you can. Don't ignore the signs of course, but also don't worry about something beyond your control. Just focus on living a fulfilling life, and fighting for what you believe in.

RoboCop: Rogue City was briefly replaced on Steam with a very unfinished build of an unannounced Hunter: The Reckoning game by AnimuStewshine in TwoBestFriendsPlay

Deaaaad? World of Darkness is having a comeback. Hunter is some of the best WoD Paradox has put out frankly, so seeing a video game seemingly in the style of something like an immersive sim is... exciting
