Have you tried stalking people for long enough that you know the exact perfect gift for them first, and then bring it to the break in as a distraction?

Oh hey, it’s those “better things to do instead”!


Wow, my favorite false dichotomy! Oh how I missed it so. The sheer beauty of the strawmanning, the amount of effort to willfully misinterpret statements! It’s the perfect blend of self righteousness and reading comprehension failure!
Way to ruin it! I can only get off if my Shrek x Sonic is outside of wedlock.
Now on the other hand, if this is Shrek trying to move forward with Sonic after their bastard-affront-to-god hybrid shreknic baby died due to m-preg birth complications, and they have a poor marriage trapped in the shadow of that loss until Shrek starts an affair with Shadow?
Well then I’m back in.
I’ve been using a mix of nature sounds to help fall asleep for years. If I’m having a particularly rough night, I’ll play some repetitive calm music I’m super familiar with as well, EQ’d to just be barely audible through the nature sounds. ADHD brain uses all the extra energy that would be keeping me up spinning ideas around to tune one or the other of the “two” audios out and I’m out pretty quick.
I use a version 1.3.3 of an app from F-Droid, Noice, for the nature sounds. Later versions added premium features and load the audio from a remote server. That’s the last version with everything local.
PowerAmp for the music. Took the “Soft” EQ preset to keep any “sharp” sounds from coming through and lowered the overall volume of it, then applied it to a specific “chill/sleep” playlist I made.
Both apps have sleep timers so they can shut off automatically after a set time.
The woman looks passably human too. No extra fingers and her features stay consistent between panels.


Found the bard :)
Eh, didn’t have better things to do at the time, and wanted to shout out MPMB’s PDFs. Amazing tool.
The AI has rotted your brain man. Tracking arrows, what this entire post is about, doesn’t need a fucking LLM. It needs tally marks on a sheet of paper, at most.
Regarding inventory management in general: Why the fuck would you ever use an LLM for something you can do in Notepad? Want to be fancy? Use More Purple More Better’s editable PDF player sheet templates. You can load in sourcebook data from external sources easily and have everything from every sourcebook at your fingertips. And you can still enter custom shit like custom magical items easily.


Damn artificers.
I also like the idea of a dungeon as an ecosystem (shamelessly stolen from the anime Delicious in Dungeon). Even if it’s some small bandit hideout, they’re not going to be entirely self sufficient. Maybe a fence that they sell their ill gotten gains to sends some thugs after the group of heroes that messed up his suppliers. The townspeople are thankful you crushed the dragon that stole all their wealth and artifacts, but they won’t take kindly to you burying the stuff they wanted back under a fucking mountain. Maybe the kobolds in there were keeping the local predatory bird population down and now the local farmers’ animals are being eaten by mini-rocs or something.
That level of detail and cause and effect is entirely superfluous for 99% of campaigns, but it can be good to keep those sorts of ideas in your back pocket for when your players manage to sidestep a planned thing. Reward the ingenuity, but actions have (fun) consequences.
If it was just new tech, I’d be all over it. If you aren’t aware of all the issues then you haven’t been paying attention.
Also, why in the ever loving fuck would you use an AI just to track a number? Just use a calculator app, notes app, anything simpler than having “I have fired another arrow, how many are left now?” Lmao.


Hahahaha, my toddler is down for her nap. We still have more. This is only a momentary reprieve


Lol, you don’t. There’s a whole bunch of reasons they enjoy Facebook that you can’t replicate outside of it with privacy respecting social media. Mainly, all their friends and other pages they interact with already on Facebook.
This is a pretty frequent question in privacy spaces. The best you can do is manage your own, and maybe talk to them about the risks. Maybe. If they’re open to it.


Time for a rewatch, it’s kinda worse.
Simba: I killed my dad, was exiled on penalty of death, and almost starved to death.
Chucklefucks: Have you tried eating bugs and positive thinking?
Simba thinks he killed his father. Then some killers chase him away from his home and everything he’s ever known. Then he nearly starves to death.
These two fuckers charge up on a lark, just looking for kicks by scaring buzzards, only barely stopping to care when one notices he’s still breathing, and only then because they want to use him as their personal bodyguard.
Then they tell his starving carnivore ass to eat some bugs, and finally the “have you just tried shutting the fuck up and ignoring your trauma?”
They said they didn’t understand, so I explained.
The heat was directed at a different user and added via an edit after the initial comment was made, because that other user threw vague ass shade instead of saying what they meant to begin with (that I was wrong about the origin of the term tankie and that it was lazy to not check my spelling, so clearly my point amd that of others saying similar wasn’t worth anything).
One of the core tenets of getting a good lemmy experience is to block early and often. If you think my response of describing what people mean when they call the main devs tankies was somehow too political, then please block me. And memorize where that button is, because I guarantee this is nothing compared to the folks actually trying to make points politically around here, lol.
Lol, I’ve just had an ex where we constantly tried to find ways to make our sex better.


It’s not very complicated, people are cheap and try to save money in the stupidest ways. They also trust lying salespeople.
Can’t tell you how many million dollar plus systems/software I’ve been involved with integrating at my workplace (not law enforcement related) where the main reason the damn thing was purchased turns out to be non-functional due to no one checking the sales guy’s claims until the contract ink is all dry.
So to be clear, your answer is “No, I don’t have anything beyond a weak as hell ad hominem based off of entirely imagined character traits and motivations.”
What are you actually trying to say when you claim I have a lack of curiosity in the matter? Don’t be chickenshit. If there’s something you believe is false about what I said, be out with it.
Otherwise you’re welcome to fuck off.


Nomura’s done it again! I love Kingdom Hearts.
That’s not desiring an apocalypse, that’s sparkling suicidal ideation.
