I want to say the rules for spellcrafting are more or less "work with your GM to create a balanced spell" but I prefer the idea of spell circles that you have to break down components for to design your own.

Out of curiosity, do you mean video game or like run a D&D game with this premise?

Either sound fun tbh.

Thank you, she's definitely a sweetheart.

Too many habits to choose from but I added some more words I wrote about her elsewhere touching on some of her habits.

We had to say goodbye to our sweet baby this past weekend. I've been tearing myself up over her while looking through all my pictures and videos.

I just wanted to share her somewhere so that she may reach just a few more people with her cuteness.

Edit: I'll add my blurb I wrote about her on other social media:

I wanted to share a little someone that has touched my life so thoroughly that it has made this goodbye that much harder.

This is Peaches and we had to make the heaviest of decisions to rapidly say goodbye this past weekend as her kidneys were failing.

This little potato's roots were wrapped so deeply around my heart that uprooting them will forever leave a hole the shape of a loaf of bread with ears and a tail.

I have already spent so many hurtful (but joyful) hours finding all the photos and videos I had of her, reminiscing about her nervous panting, her anxious yelping, her snoring, her side eyeing, her 'urf'ing, and her butt scratching dance (which I think is why she warmed up to me so quickly).

It has been incredibly difficult trying to pare down to a select few photos to share because I really just wanted to upload all 300+ (I'll still probably create an album on Facebook). I also didn't realize I took so many, though now that she's gone, it will never be enough.

I hope that wherever she is now, someone remembers to give her butt scritches and she gets her treats at 7:00 (don't worry, she will be sure to remind you).

Until we see you again, we love you with all of our hearts and you are the goodest of girls. We already miss you so much, our 🎶 Sweet Lovely Beautiful Peaches 🎶

American, and Oklahoman here. They must be embarrassed or something because I also never learned it in school growing up within an hour of Tulsa.

I also learned of it from either Watchmen or Lovecraft County. I forget which I saw first.

Yes, I actually sought out the AI disclaimer to confirm my suspicions since they had that uncanny valley feel to them.

A human artist using Photoshop would generally know how to fix that.

I almost would have preferred that they lower the quality of the images they took, or use an older camera for more of that "old school jank" vibe they were supposedly going for.

lol the idea of an AI bot designed to criticize AI is hilarious and may be an acceptable use of AI.

[–] ObsidianZed@lemmy.world 4 points 1 week ago (2 children)

I just genuinely don't like the look of most AI generated imagery, also there's the ever prevalent conundrum that is the lack of supporting actual human artists.

I almost feel like that's the point. I wouldn't be that surprised if this was designed as propaganda that make "liberals look dumb."

Had me until AI.

I usually either imagined a dirt bike or it was Spider-Man or the Hulk

First off, this is a fucking ad. Article author is Mark Gerson who repeatedly references a book titled "God Was Right" written by... Mark Gerson... Set to release next month.

Second, just some of my "favorite" parts:

Contemporary research has shown that we can enjoy and find meaning in any job as long as we frame it correctly. This is called "job crafting."

Numerous studies have found that there is a productivity ceiling.

The rate of production slowed for the hours 50 to 55.

However, there was no increase in output from hours 56 to 70.

"That extra 14 hours was a waste of time."

And so, we now have the number of what we have termed the "productivity ceiling": It's 55 hours a week.

And here’s the amazing and maybe divine math.
A Sabbath observer can work 10 hours a day for five days a week. He can really only work half a day on the sixth, as he needs to prepare for Shabbat — leaving him with a 55-hour work week.

 

Didn't see this posted anywhere. I realize there are a ton of free tutorials everywhere but this course bundle compiles it in a convenient format for those with no idea where to start.

Ends February 17.
