That .hack series was the first game series I had to hunt down the whole thing and get good copies of it. Enjoy!

Emily 🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ @EmilyEnough@hachyderm.io My biggest problem with the concept of LLMs, even if they weren’t a giant plagiarism laundering machine and disaster for the environment, is that they introduce so much unpredictability into computing. I became a professional computer toucher because they do exactly what you tell them to. Not always what you wanted, but exactly what you asked for. LLMs turn that upside down. They turn a very autistic do-what-you-say, say-what-you-mean commmunication style with the machine into a neurotypical conversation talking around the issue, but never directly addressing the substance of problem. In any conversation I have with a person, I’m modeling their understanding of the topic at hand, trying to tailor my communication style to their needs. The same applies to programming languages and frameworks. If you work with a language the way its author intended it goes a lot easier. But LLMs don’t have an understanding of the conversation. There is no intent. It’s just a mostly-likely-next-word generator on steroids. You’re trying to give directions to a lossily compressed copy of the entire works of human writing. There is no mind to model, and no predictability to the output. If I wanted to spend my time communicating in a superficial, neurotypical style my autistic ass certainly wouldn’t have gone into computering. LLMs are the final act of the finance bros and capitalists wrestling modern technology away from the technically literate proletariat who built it.

YEAH

YEAH

Men: don't be sociopaths.

Thanks.

Poster: I like communism
Responder: But in capitalism you could be the one who exploits people?
Poster: Yeah, that's bad
Responder: I didn't explain it right/you're dumb, YOU could be the one who EXPLOITS people

Hey fun, Malibu doubled up looks good.

Oh my god, goty for me 😭👌

Gender should literally just be a common thing that people *should* examine in order to have a fullness of life, even if nothing massively changes. It should be as common as developing a fashion style or a music taste. Deconstruction of societal imprint, no matter how “far” you go, is freedom.

The FOMO of Shopping Sessions is something that I’ve felt on both sides of the table, and I thought having a way around that might open things up a bit. Go shopping because you want to find something special, not because you’re afraid you won’t have Everything You Need.

This sounds absolutely like goblin booze.

Star Trek The Original Series scene. We're in a CORRIDOR! A room door is open, and we see two crewmen spilling out into the hallway in red and blue uniforms. They are otherwise indecipherable tho because they are entirely enveloped in a big cloud of smoke. It's pouring out all around them and into the hallway area, like there's a Phish concert in there. Closed caption reads, "[COUGHING]"

Captain Kirk to dispensary. Captain Kirk to dispensary.

Oh hell yes. Little film reels or canisters comes to mind.

Gives folks an option for “I wish I’d thought to buy that” so they reach into their bag for just the right thing, or needing a contact and “Actually I ran into them before”. Not an off-button for every problem, but something to keep the game going and feel clutch in the moment.

So, you’re about to do a heist, everyone takes a day to prep for it since folks don’t have concrete ideas of what to do. You get in and the map’s hidden. Someone uses a Montage to have gotten the schematics. Map’s now uncovered, but you ask “Okay, how”. Maybe some fun comes of the flashback.

A somewhat silly thought I had for something to lubricate tabletop sessions I may GM in the future.

The “Montage Coin”.

You can nonspecifically choose to “Spend a day shopping/preparing/etc.” and get a coin for it.

You can choose later to cash it in for a banked flashback, gaining you something.

I miss her so much.
