Maybe this is the official mark of when good internet turned into shitty internet. The last day of the good old days.

Wait, with all these new AI ask question things you would think an AI with a British accent telling you things would be a gold mine.

Gonna have to start posting here again until I get 500 so I can stash it in the vault. How's everyone been?

Where would you post a work like this?

Archive of our own requires some hoops for account creation, but you can post just about any story there. When it comes to fiction stories only, there are lots of places that you can post stories of those themes, AO3 even has an AI tag so you can let people know what they are getting into. Keep in mind it is currently illegal to to publish these stories in some places (I'm looking at you Australia) and is only a court decision away in many other countries. It is held up in the USA by a pretty thin court distinction of artistic value that I do not believe has been tested for under aged fiction.

I am new to SD... Is comfyui really hard.. I was going to try it too when I have time.. I know its like a node based editor.. should I go with automatic111 or comfyui.. is there any other else I could try to learn ?

Comfyui has an appearance of complexity that seems incredibly daunting at first. It is complex, but pretty intuitive and can do some amazing things. I've seen local API's used to live draw images for text based games. If you just open it up and try and figure it out on your own, it will probably scare you off, it did me. But I found a tutorial series on youtube (Pixorama) and he has a super long series that is just from basics to everything he has learned along the way. Keep in mind that there is definitely an equipment gateway to doing it locally, but if your PC can run it and you spend 2 hours or so working along the youtube tutorial, you will be generating images in no time. Follow along to get even cooler stuff you can do.

Has anyone here been able to bypass Reddit's face verification/ID scan or make it work? I've never felt more defeated by a piece of software before, i'm not giving my id and face for these clowns but I can't even use the platform anymore or bookmark things for later, it's soo bad

I’m fine with the vault not automatically compounding interest, but collecting it shouldn’t feel this tedious. At the very least, the admin could make it easier to access instead of hiding it behind a less obvious tab and button. A simple, prominent “Collect Interest” button in the main menu would go a long way, much better than burying it inside the shop and vault tabs.

It would also help to have a notification system that alerts you when your "Collect Interest" cooldown is up. Right now, you have to remember it yourself and keep checking the vault.

Yeah I agree, I already think it's annoying just having to manually collect INTEREST, but not having a simple notification just compounds the issue...

Sounds like a good reason to delete the account, not use the service anymore. Only way they'll learn is if there's consequences.

Problem is, that it can be kinda useful for technical stuff, got a lot of emulators working in that place and links for stuff I wouldn't find in most places that easy, the people there ARE unfunny and braindead most the time but it was good using for bookmarking

I completely agree. Reddit is useful. I also used to value facebook for not losing touch with old contacts, Discord for... well, everything. But just couldn't continue to passively normalize and support their bad behavior, no matter how convenient or enjoyable I found those services.

I ordered $110 board game with $40 in shipping and fees because I am fiscally irresponsible.


Long live Armello. Long live Barnaby.

Yo, you run emulators too? What system are you emulating? I mostly stick to GBA and GBC, and sometimes NDS. I bet you use yours to emulate Persona games haha. Do you play Pokémon?

I used to go the no-Gmail route and rely on ProtonMail for everything. I’d even wipe my accounts every time I factory reset my phone because I was paranoid about virus infections.

But I kept creating new social media accounts, and most platforms don’t accept anything less than ProtonMail. On top of that, Proton started locking me out if I made too many accounts from the same IP, and sometimes even flagged new ones if I used them too quickly to create socmed accounts like before they’d even had time to properly receive emails.

That’s why I eventually went back to Gmail. It’s just way easier to create accounts on your phone, even though it still has limits, something like under 100 accounts before it starts asking for a phone number.

Not irresponsible if you get your money's worth in entertainment hours longterm. Maybe make some friends too. Sounds like a win to me.

@CubbyBuddy! I miss seeing your silly tooth

So people actually play board games? I thought we all just went the single-player video game route because we don’t have friends IRL. Or do you usually play with family?

With fam. Though I need to find a place to make friends to play ROOT with.

It's mostly the outrageous shipping charge that's irresponsible, but I also just need to get a life in general.

King advice, my guy. I give crown reactions to people so they know they’re kings.

Time you enjoy is not time wasted, and money you spend on things you enjoy isn’t wasted either.

I think that’s something I once heard attributed to John Lennon, if I remember correctly.

I play board games on Tabletop Simulator.

Reddit really is useful for everything, man. Piracy discussions, game walkthroughs, media appreciation, all of it. Most of the time I just Google my question or thought and add “Reddit” at the end, and there’s usually someone who’s already asked it or shared their take.

My exact method for getting good info on anything. Cuts through the AI slop, there's no other really reliable human-brainstorming forum. I suppose youtube, but text is quicker to search than video.
