- Comment on Why does it seem most people, mainly conservatives, against Trans people? Unless I am wrong I never heard of one shooting up a school church or whatever. The ones I have met have been pretty cool. 15 hours ago:
Even if they’re taking mtf hormones, there’s still a ton of testorone.
This is factually wrong. Trans women on HRT statistically have far less testosterone than cis women, purely for the reason that it is a hormone all humans create but we are actively suppressing it.

I see a lot of mostly correct answers here, but as a trans person myself I can’t help but feel they are all missing the core concept.
People hate trans folk for the same reason “get back in the kitchen” is still said to women in any non-“traditional” role or the “angry black man/woman” is said about anyone advocating for their own rights. There are strict gender and racial roles that are enforced by our society so rigidly, that many have assumed them to be naturally correct laws of the universe. Anyone existing outside of those roles is seen as either mental illness to be corrected or malicious evil-doers wanting to cause trouble. When in fact the reality is much simpler, that being human is a more diverse expressive and dynamic experience than those holding on to those “natural laws” would like to admit. Conservatives are more prone to this, but liberals are absolutely not immune. To exist outside the role you were “assigned” is a threat to society that assings the roles, ergo a threat to the very way of life for those who see them as innate truths.

Look I wouldn’t be excited for a Clash of Clans PC port, so why should I care about a knock off clone getting a port?

These are the same people mad at “woke” games for not having white charcters. Their enormous amount of privliage has made them utterly blind to history or context.
I hate it here. 🙃

Well then I have done good in the world today. Robin’s performance ALONE is fantastic but honestly the whole cast goes above and beyond. Enjoy!
- Comment on Can Trump pardon himself even though he did criminal stuff outside of office? 2 weeks ago:
Mafia and Goverment are the same thing at different scales, social order established from a central unit that holds a monopoly on violence. Just as cults eventually become mainstream religions, at a critical mass point whatever you say becomes legitimate.
All the rules of the world are made up and only apply if enough people say and act as they apply.

Death to Smoochy, my dark comedy about the mafia world inside of children’s TV show is utterly fantastic and I will not be taking questions.

- Comment on Starfield's first DLC is one of the worst Bethesda and DLCs of all time 1 month ago:
I just finished playing it for the first time and I was blown away right from the start! Guess I’m glad I waited for the polish, but the world design, voice acting and overall storyline was absolutely fantastic. I couldn’t help feel bad for all the artists that clearly put a lot of love in to the world only to be overshadowed by bugs and poor implementation.

- Comment on Ubisoft Cancels Press Previews of Assassin's Creed Shadows 1 month ago:
where no form of real world politics
Oh fuck off, queer people aren’t politics. It’s literally just humans existing, but since some bigots want to limit their rights you call it political. This is the same exact thought process of asking “the Jewish question”.
never cared what the main protagonist is like
And yet here you are saying a bunch of dumb stuff about devs pushing things in. You can’t have it both ways.

Yeah, that’s not a thing.

Couldn’t agree more about the weather, I love the PNW “nice day” of cloudys, mist and fog. If you have time, go take a silly picture with the Fremont troll, it’s near Gasworks which is also a spectacular view.

Can’t hurt.
However I don’t really care what Republican leaders say at all, hopefully Republican voters probably do.
- Comment on Has Google Search gotten so much worse in the last couple of weeks? 2 months ago:
True Incognito mode is a myth, it only stops keeping a history in the tab of that browser. Everytime you use a browser to go to any site ever, the browser logs you went there. So does your ISP and the site your connecting to.
The closest you can come to browsing the web anonymously would be with a mix of dedicated privacy OS like Tails and either a VPN or Tor as a middile man, but that assumes those proxys are not corrupted. Free VPNs make money by selling your "secret browsing*.
The internet is nothing more than wires, if you connect your wire to someone elses, every intermediatary knows.
- Comment on Hasbro CEO Says AI Will Become Core Part of Dungeons & Dragons 2 months ago:
Well that’s dissapointing. You don’t want to discuss this, but act superior and name call.
- Comment on Hasbro CEO Says AI Will Become Core Part of Dungeons & Dragons 2 months ago:
In terms of human perspective with digital tools AI’s difference of scale is a difference of kind. Photoshop fundamentally didn’t change the process and concept of producing images. It’s still a human sitting down with tools and producing art based off their ideas and rendered with their skill.
But AI removes that human process, now a string of keywords will mash up existing art to make a facsimile of something unique. AI doesn’t make anything new, it fundamentally can’t, therefore not really art. All of human culture is standing on the shoulders of historical giants, you and I can have this conversation because of someone else inventing computers, which exist because of someone utilizing electricity, which was only possible by the wheel, etc.
However I don’t think there is much to gain in criticism of an artist buying their paints from a store just as there isn’t any in artists using a mouse. Their perspective, skill and talent will produce something new, inspired by others undoubtedly, but not copy pasting brushstrokes. That’s just high level plagerism and intrinsically not unique.
I mean this is all philosophy of existentialism, what IS art and when does it become something else? The artistsy of the writers, painters and editors is what produces a compelling end multi generational international product like DND. Which is different than an end user using AI to spice up a character sheet inside the privacy of their own home.
AI is a wonderful tool, but only if the end use doesn’t really matter. My players and I don’t care about 11 fingered elves, but I’d be pissed to see that in a book I paid $50+ for. Just as I would be upset to read flavor text that recruisve of past writing or game mechanics designed by a machine incapable of actually running a session. If you are charging for a product, human artistry should be involved, anything else is free so who cares.

“I’m probably more excited though about the playful elements of AI,” he said. “I play with probably 30 or 40 people regularly. There’s not a single person who doesn’t use AI somehow for either campaign development or character development or story ideas. That’s a clear signal that we need to be embracing it.”
So as a DM and Player, yes, there are uses for AI. Generating a good character portrait as opposed to scouring search engines is the obvious one. But I also had good useage with putting my loose outline in to AI story generators, while it only produced garbage cliches that I didn’t use. It was a good way to brainstorm and see different angles of my original idea.
Having said all that, I super duper don’t want AI to become a core part of DND/MTG, art in products should be ACTUAL art by ACTUAL artists. Not my 8 fingered free placeholder nonsense. I truly struggle to think of a good way that hasbro could be using AI that would help the game.

- Comment on Baldur's Gate 3 level editor is cracked open by modders, bringing homebrew campaigns one step closer 2 months ago:
It’s not 100% clear why Larian didn’t include these features in the toolkit to begin with, but it may be a case of protecting certain copyrighted assets being scraped easily from the game, or from being altered in a way that is unpleasing to DnD’s intellectual property overlords.
Super duper cool that this was done, I just worry that WoTC/Hasbro will mandate this sort of thing needs to be squashed. The new DND system is focusing heavily on a virtual tabletop system under a subscription plan. While standalone BG3 isn’t a threat, a modded full custom campaign could be seen as one. I wouldn’t even bring this up by between sending Pinkertons to collect MTG cards and the attempted OGL crackdown, seems like any scummy move could be possible.
Hope I am worried about nothing tho.
