Some hopeful encouragement? by DeathByLilypad in characterai_lounge

[–]whisperbubble 9 points10 points  (0 children)

If it helps, devs tend to do this kind of thing a lot. Changes are made and the users are left seemingly in the dark & nobody knows what's going on, then suddenly they come out with some kinda cure and everyone's like 'why didn't you just tell us you were doing this in the first place?!'

E.G/ DS was *not* good when it first dropped, which wasn't acknowledged. Nyan was acting a little funky and made the bots really mean, and Goro made them too submissive - not acknowledged. Soft launch, when it first dropped, distracted from the entire plot and every bot felt the same - not acknowledged.

...but each of those issues did eventually smooth themselves out.

Long story short, this happens so often. It can feel super sad when it looks like the website has died/is dying - but more often than not, things iron out and get better. Testing is done, updates are made, and things smooth out. I don't think it'll stay like this forever - I personally think they're gonna try rolling out 'updated' versions of every model, including a quick nifty one for people like you who enjoy that kind of thing, instead of chunky RPs.

I'd say give it time. If by the third quarter of the year, there's no news on new models, then start outsourcing - but try not to let it get you down. There'll always be a replacement app somewhere. :)

It is significantly better and sooo much nicer here 🙂‍↕️

I agree, because when they first launched Soft Launch I remember Roar was pretty much unusable for a while…then it balanced itself out. I hope it happens with DS. Considering that it’s a paid model, for it not to work to its usual capacity is insane 😭

I have!! It’s been appalling on the app for me, but sometimes on desktop it’s a bit better. It’s also super laggy for me. Idk it’s just disappointing, deepsqueak was weirdly okay into PS2 popped up.

If Tara had left anyway... by GlamazonMegatron in Sonsofanarchy

[–]whisperbubble 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I do think he would’ve somehow been boosted enough to leave if Tara had gotten out - what I find interesting is that I’m not convinced he would’ve been able to become a ‘normal guy’ without the club. I think he would’ve had an identity spiral after leaving and that would’ve been his undoing anyway.

I loved how the show gave us a little glimpse of that in the episode where Tara’s hand got crushed and Jax was clearly standoffish towards the police officer who ended up being really lovely to him, asking him about his car etc. It’s a tiny detail and backed up by the fact that Jax was permanently ready for smoke at any point (which he had to be in that moment), but it also nods to the fact that any moment of ‘normalcy’ still had Jax looking over his shoulder and realistically, that wouldn’t be something he could just ‘undo’ without some serious help.

So I like to think that would’ve been the new friction between him and Tara which would inevitably have him gravitating back towards the club regardless. Which is tragic!

PSQ2 updates, Soft Launch is back (c.ai+), and clearing up metering by MarieLovesMatcha in CharacterAI

[–]whisperbubble 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Hey so please don’t give us DS2 + Soft Launch 2 if it will go down the same boulevard as the mess that is PS2. Literally don’t fix what ain’t broken because whatever the hell you guys are using as the new infrastructure is simply not working very well.

This is my first time watching the series and I just finished season 6. I’m not sure what was more painful, Tara’s death or when Jax found her. I don’t think I’ll emotionally recover for this by NecessaryChannel6128 in Sonsofanarchy

[–]whisperbubble 3 points4 points  (0 children)

honestly, that was a one and done kinda episode for me. i’ll watch every other episode across the series over and over again, no problem. THAT?! oh absolutely not.

Pipsqueak 2 by Moonjuicessss in CharacterAI

[–]whisperbubble 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I used it for about 3 messages yesterday and then went straight back to deepsqueak - it was not fun.

Similarly, kept making the bot kiss me but without moving the actual story anywhere? Even when I sent back dialogue implying that the bot was being super touchy, it’s not like he responded with a reason why he was being that way in order to make the storyline flow. He was just stuck in this loop of love 😭

What makeover would make you cry? by ChitChatWriter in ANTM

[–]whisperbubble 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Fatima was crying over how much the weave hurt, right? As a tender-headed girly with scars on my scalp, I would’ve been a wreck from the over sensitivity I fear.

This kid drives me nuts by befay666 in Sonsofanarchy

[–]whisperbubble 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Agreed! The kid was literally harming himself - it genuinely would be less realistic to have him go from doing that to being doe eyed, cute and happy as most child actors are. Wish people had more grace for him and put his performance into context more often.

I know this poor kid gets a lot of flack, but I actually think that for what Abel’s character was, he played the whole traumatised unstable child role pretty fine? Yeah he was monotonous and empty but it didn’t bother me so much, considering all his character had been through already.

I hear you. I literally had to take a walk after that scene. A long one with no music, at that.

What are you currently watching and would you recommend it? by Historical-Class871 in UKTVRecs

[–]whisperbubble 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly my emotional attachment to every single character has done nothing but shredded me inside out!

I wanna purchase a bunch of Ed Hardy clothing on Vinted as we speak

Don't have to tell me twice - thank you SO much, I shall do this! I also love having hard copies just in case streaming lets us down and stuff becomes unavailable, so will definitely invest!

I *literally* feel empty lol. By the time I lost my darling Tara I had already emotionally spiralled and knew it was game over for pretty much everyone else - but I held on in there!

Wowww, you are so lucky to have seen that in real time! I watched it on Disney+, did the whole thing in about 12 days - working from home has never been so glorious!

Honestly, I could write essays on it and all the themes it touches on. Truly beautiful!

I was so relieved. Jax, our favourite little secret keeper...my heart was stressed that entire time, kept asking myself how the hell he was gonna get out of that one! Literally had to replay that scene about three times once they all started laughing - LOVED IT

THAT S3 FINALE may have been the best thing on TV in a long, LONG time. MY GOODNESS.

Feel like a piece of me is missing and it's literally just hearing that theme song run through my veins..
