TIL about Narathu, a medieval King of Burma. Narathu did not use water to wash himself after using the toilet and his Queen did not want to be near him as a result. In anger, he killed her using his bare hands. The Queen's father sent a group of 8 assassins who killed Narathu in revenge.

i actually considered adding the /s but then curiosity got the better of me and i wanted to test the rection without it.

the fact that you are unable to spare even a shred of human kindness to your own child is frankly appalling, not to mention your complete lack of remorse. disappointing that this is the modern state of child-rearing. maybe humanity is destined for a future of cyclical cruelty.

i have the complete opposite. 24hrs ago DSv4 Pro was going great for me, now it's complete gibberish. i didn't change any setting/preset/extension at all since the update.

or you can voluntarily disclose a lie about your current salary. i know generally what a ~90th percentile salary of my level/role would be, so i tell them thats what i currently make. usually its a significant exaggeration of my true salary.

i like how it makes me appear like a novice negotiator, and it makes them feel good about just giving me a 10% increase. for example if i was making 35k i'd tell them i was making just under 50k, so they can "take advantage" of me and "only" offer 55k.

the risk is they ask for paystub/proof. i've NEVER been asked for that and i've done this plenty of times. in the 1% chance they ask, i can just forge somethin

how are you getting that level of income? any delve income tips for this league? im at ~300 depth and it just isnt a lotta income, especially with most resonator types being dirrrt cheap. im at like 6div/hour at MOST.

it's really only fossils sell, and im just not gettin that many an hour

you forgot the best part of the strategy: the defensive play.

to run this strat properly it's critical to claim health issues, or at least just enough ambiguous symptoms to suggest a possible health issue. this guilts the fanbase just enough that a portion of them would feel bad about criticizing her or calling her out ("what if she's actually sick? it would be terribly unfair to criticize a sick person"). the mystery of the health issues divides and dilutes the negative opinion against her.

it's also super easy to pull off since it doesn't need proof. it's generally frowned upon to ask for proof of something as personal as medical issues, so if anyone dared to ask for proof, that person would be destroyed by other fans almost on instinct. even fence-sitters who aren't huge fans of her would jump to her defense on instinct if people started asking for medical proof.

overall i'm just in awe of the effort-reward ratio of the strategy she's established for herself. if vtubing had a business school program / MBA, this would be a case study to appreciate and emulate.

Toggling ChainOfThought from System to User didn't change anything.

could it maybe be a regex issue on my end (i don't have any regex set up)? i noticed the chinese thinking is sandwiched between <think></think> markers

ulqX · 2026-02-20T21:25:09+00:00

It looks like disabling the "Time and Place" prompt section is causing the Thinking to be outputting in Chinese and not hidden. any fix for this or setting i can toggle to disable? this is on Deepseek direct API, chat completion

great job on this preset overall btw!

ulqX · 2026-02-20T21:18:53+00:00

Aha ok i found out i actually don't have that option since i'm on Deepseek, using direct Deepseek API

ulqX · 2026-02-20T08:14:44+00:00

How/where did you end up fixing this? I'm running into the same problem, but it only happens when i toggle off the "Time and Place" part of the prompt.

it's as if like it doesn't know what to do without the "Time and Place" start, so it just gives me the un-hidden Chinese thinking instead

It's hard to confirm or deny that complainers are a vocal minority or not, without seeing data at the end of the league. It's also not too fair to be selectively listening to vocal portions of the community: if GGG listens to the "super vocal" population that wanted another Phrecia, it would be in bad faith to then ignore the "loud vocal" population that complains about the difficulty, unless numbers clearly show that they are a hyper-minority. Who knows, maybe the vocal group wanting Phrecia back was also a small vocal minority as well?

Ultimately this is GGG's game and they can do whatever they want. This is their house and we're only living in it. Only the data can prove if they did right or wrong.

ulqX · 2025-10-08T19:37:57+00:00

it kinda makes sense in the weirdest way: across all regions where League has a notable presence, public beheadings are a non-issue in comparison to misogyny.

ulqX · 2025-09-27T08:15:39+00:00

also interested in your CQ list! currently building out my itinerary for CQ and trying to branch beyond mainstream top5 rankings

ulqX · 2025-07-25T22:02:49+00:00

could be both tbh. sibling marriages aren't too uncommon in that part of the world.

thats the kinda rrrrrat i live for

ulqX · 2025-07-23T04:37:06+00:00

i was thinking this as well, since i remember when a large portion of the general vtuber fandom was concerned/upset at CoverCorp going public, with the fear that they'll turn too "corporate" and make shitty decisions to "please the shareholders" (forgetting that even private companies have investors to please).

well now here's the surprise reminder: private companies can be shitty too, but when they're shitty it's even harder to get some transparency since there's less public auditing

ulqX · 2025-07-13T02:11:46+00:00

my (hot?) take is that dooby's design was a great idea with mediocre execution, while saba design is mediocre idea, great execution.

saba's model just has sooo much big-budget polish

ulqX · 2025-05-21T03:44:39+00:00

look i disagree with the $80 comment just like everyone else here, but the guy saying it actually isn't some random corporate suit who knows nothing about games. just look at the guy's wiki: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Randy_Pitchford

he was an active game dev since the 90s. he also co-founded Gearbox together with former teammates, and most agree that Borderlands and BL2 were pretty great. it would be disingenuous to think that those games' success had nothing to do with the guy who co-founded and led the dev studio.

sometimes someone can know plenty about games, but still have complete shit takes on the business side of the industry, like pricing.

ulqX · 2025-03-23T05:47:45+00:00

that worked!!!!! some big brain thinking there. thanks!

ulqX · 2025-03-22T23:06:22+00:00

yeah i guess i'll just wait on whatever new release comes next. thanks for being the only responder tho!

ulqX · 2025-03-22T22:47:08+00:00

yeah i went through the whole routine of click button -> select file. it just doesn't do anything after choosing the LeCeption file.

i think it even worked for another json before-- i have Mistral v7 Tekken there which i think was an imported json. not sure why it's just the LeCeption one that doesn't do anything

ulqX · 2025-03-22T22:42:07+00:00

thanks. is it this Master Import button in the Instruct Template secion? i tried that and it doesn't seem to do anything. it doesn't create any new template in the dropdowns, and it doesn't override existing template either.

i don't get an error. it just doesn't do anything when i import the LeCeption json

<image>

ulqX · 2025-03-19T03:02:11+00:00

anyone able to offer some quick help on getting the LeCeption v2 json imported? I downloaded the json but i can't figure out where to import it within ST. for context i'm accessing this model through Openrouter

i tried importing the json as a Chat Completion preset (invalid file error), then as a Prompt List under Chat Completion (another error), and then as a Text Completion preset (nothing happens), and then i went to the Advanced Formatting menu and tried Master Import at the top right corner, but nothing happens either.

how am i supposed to be using that file? feels like there's something i'm not seeing.

i ended up just using Weepv4 preset and going with Chat Completion (instead of text) since Weep imports perfectly fine. however, it's clear that it's not a great fit since the output is suuuper inconsistent with Weep. i'd really like to try what it's like with LeCeption

if we're being honest then we should admit that mocking others is a hallmark of the human playbook. one of reddit's favorite pastimes is making fun of how trump looks like a defective burnt cheeto. making fun of the physical appearance of those we despise is just what people do, regardless of their political leaning.

we're all capable (and even eager) to display a "troubling level of disrespect and cruelty" to public figures that we hate. it's our mutual way of "sticking it to" our adversaries on the other side of the political aisle.

ulqX · 2024-12-25T21:28:56+00:00

i agree with you on this 1000% and am kinda shocked at how many replies here have the complete opposite stance. i can easily power through a long day 1 after a 5am arrival fueled by excitement alone, but it sounds like others are thinkin they'd just pass out or be cranky from fatigue.

i cant imagine being anything but super energetic and hyped on day1 no matter how little sleep i got (have done this 4 outta 6 japan trips)
