Why do I feel like I am reading a homework assignment from doomer accelerationist kindergarten

@labsunlimited Can you imagine how cool he felt writing that, dick in his hand, Dread up on a TOR browser so he can feel like a badass hacker when it’s really just Reddit for losers

@Faraday Point absolutely taken. This conversation has, in a rare instance that I can’t recall seeing on the internet in many years, changed my understanding and stance on this.

I’d honestly take three months of good RP over a game that drags on and on past its expiration date

@bnuuy That’s rich coming from a guy who makes multiple socks on a MU forum to upvote himself.

@NotSanni Ten bucks says this is the same guy who did this sad display a few weeks ago. This is totally alpha job-having behavior.

Seanan McGuire? Really?

How did I not know this lore? Fuck. I love her books, but the more I think about it, the more her October Daye series feels like stolen MU logs for the first few. The entire tone and scope of the story changes wildly after like book three.

@NotSanni Oh, for sure.

@Pavel There’s not even internal consistency, forget about citations.

@Pavel I think it’s part and parcel. The overinvestment is both one of time and emotional connection. You see it in LARP as well – when people choose the imaginary life and identity over their real one, you get the recipe for Chernobyl-caliber meltdowns.

@Faraday Absolutely. I am always willing to learn and I am willing to admit when I don’t have the expertise to make a good call and adjust accordingly.

@Necro Nah. It’s the fact that the two accounts were made at the exact same time about fifteen minutes ago. Doesn’t take a genius. It’s really sad that you can’t find somewhere to scream online that has more than like ten active users. You’re basically the human equivalent of the stench of BO and crusty cum sock and it’s really funny that you think this is… anything.

Have your tantrum, I guess. Mwah.

@Pavel I’m sure they have. People tend to do that. I’ve never been a WoD person and seem to have totally missed this.

@Tez Absolutely, and I don’t give it logs that I wasn’t involved in, either. It really has been great for “oh fuck, what was that NPC’s name again”, because it keeps an updated running list of both pc and npcs from my logs, and it automatically updates its analysis of their current relationship with my pc. my memory isn’t what it used to be and it saves me from me forgetting that i had, in fact, interacted with another pc in the past. if i can’t recall, i’ll ask it “have i had a scene with x” and if the answer is yes, i’ll ask it for a brief summary of the interaction.

Like I said, I use it as an extension of my brain, filling in the gaps that my own neurons don’t seem to be able to hold onto as well as they used to. I wouldn’t want to RP with someone who was just using a LLM to write their poses, either. I just was pointing out a utility that I’ve found.

When it punches up lines, it pulls on my own writing for inspiration, and yeah, it sometimes hallucinates, so that’s why I, an actual human being, use my discretion about what to take from its suggestions.

I’ll concede to Roz’s point about ethics. That can be a valid point, and it’s one I’ll think about.

@Pavel There’s only so much you can do with a string of disjointed statements.

@Jennkryst said in Missed Settings:

There was that Legally Distinct Not-Really Zombies game set in Canada where people got infested with worms instead of your usual virus and/or Last of Us Fungus. But it was tricksy.

Tricksy how?

For my own contribution, I would love to see a Dystopia Rising MU. I loved the hell out of that LARP when I was young and could run around the woods all night.

Good points all around. I’m going to think on it and maybe just give summaries and bulletpoints going forward instead of full logs. Never really thought about it this way and I appreciate the feedback and food for thought.

rofl apparently i’d learned and asked about this before and forgotten about it, as i discovered when i searched. my b.
