It doesn't look like the exact same assets, but it clearly has the same color palette and design. Honestly it kinda feels like a slap in the face, but maybe the two of them came to some kind of agreement? ¯(ツ)/¯

Are we still doing "phrasing"?

"at least once a week"?

That's crazy lol. I've had a couple once a week games over the years, but most of the time we've done every other week. Everyone is just too busy. Granted we have a larger group going right now, 6 players in both my big games that play every other week.

Honestly you can probably scroll the front page and find them if they're on, they'll have a ton of viewers.

I love how you used the term "homebrew" and not "homemade" lol.

My brother in Christ, the AI revolution is more than chatgpt.

I'm sure the military is so excited about AI because of its ability to "respond".

The thing is a difficult intro, IMHO. Things like coding an instance, understanding the limits, etc. I honestly still don't know why I can't upload images to basically any community, but it prevents me from contributing.

I learned this from reading Ella Minnow Pea in high school.

I had read that Altman was "ambivalent" to re-joining OpenAI and the board wanted him back after regretting their decision? (presumably after the backlash)

And also the following week lol

Appears to be something spread in hospitals though

Oh muh lawd Quercus is the name of oak trees??

Quercus is a squirrel character in Divinity Original Sin 2, who is trying to stop the Great Acorn from destroying all non-squirrel life.

All I know is that it's a raid, you're a sherpa, and I feel your pain lol.

You mean like our glorification of gun ownership, the military, and war in general?

The thing is, there are clear ways to regulate gun ownership (even without banning them), whereas solving the mental health crisis is far more vague and subjective.

565 as of October 31st, 2023. We're nearly at 2 per day.

I appreciate you being a perfectly reasonable person and understanding that people have different tastes in books lol. Cheers

It's definitely good and entertaining, but I found it almost distracting how he described women. I've been told it was actually intentional, like he was making fun of other fantasy tropes, but it sorta turned me off to it. I only read Color of Magic.

I'm aware, that's why it's surprising.

I'll add a +1 to some mentioned:

• Cradle series - progression fantasy, basically DBZ or Naruto style progression with a magic system, intelligent beasts/dragons, demigods, etc.
• Night Angel Trilogy - street rat turned assassin with magic. I feel like it leans pretty heavily into fantasy tropes, but they're fun reads.
• Kings of the Wyld - this book is fucking hilarious. The main characters are basically a kickass D&D group but it's 20 years later, they're old and fat, and have to go on one last epic adventure.

My wife got me to read the first trilogy, they're pretty good. There's also some weird writing at times that made me think it was very much "men writing women". And a weird scene at the end of book 3 where >!Fitz (nephew) and Verity (uncle) do a Freaky Friday body swap so Verity could fuck his wife while in his nephew's body and impregnate her.!< I didn't read the other books lol.

To be fair, I've read all of Wheel of Time and loved the series, and while it's not as bad as Discworld, it's still pretty weird and misogynistic at times.
