Ziggurat@jlai.luto AI Generated Images@sh.itjust.works•[Weekly challenge #94] CentaurEnglish2·3 days agoBut that one is pretty much trained exclusively on anime art, so I’m guess there’s a ton of centaurs in that training set :)
Might be a theme to try with one of these Pony model… but not sure I want to see the result
Stupid characters (but actually not that stupid) are actually pretty fun. And technically speaking, necromancer are just late physician
That’s pretty high on the scale of toxic parenting,
Tell him that you’re already with someone, and not interested
I use the following term from LARP into table-top
Bleed to talk about how in game drama impacts your emotion, it’s usually positive, but need clear discussion to not end-up in horror stories
Black box for flashback/workshop where you roleplay something happening before the actual game. It can be used either to clarify link between characters (especially in one shot) or be used in games like Blades in the Dark to have PC jumping to action directly and doing the preparation latter
Then the obvious IC/OOC to clarify what happens. And some game-term which I export everywher like talking about the Malkavian or the lawful good
Ziggurat@jlai.luto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•For some reason suicide is illegal. If someone is going or trying to commit suicide and get talked down are they still in trouble or get locked up or sent to a medical facility?2·4 days agoThere is a gray area where assisted suicide/euthanasia isn’t legal. Shall you take 20 or 30 years of jail for helping your loved one to end their suffering or shall legally murderer get away with suspended sentence/probation.
A clear legal context for assisted suicide suicide solves the debate
Does the GPL apply to content published on the fediverse? If yes we’re getting a great open source model for free.
Also obligatory fuck META
Ziggurat@jlai.luto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Could a nuclear bomb be delivered and detonated via a truck or boat?4·5 days agoI am curious now on how much of it is about being worried about nuclear bomb, and how much is about people either knowingly importing illegally radioactive materials or worker forgetting that the big orange box is actually radioactive materials (believe me, it’s way more common than it seems, especially with low activity parts)

4 persons are playing D&D and sit around a table.the first one is a female elven rogue holding a crossbow, the second one is a male barbarian holding a large sword, the third one is a mage wearing a purple ceremonial dress and a pointy hat, the fourth one is a halfling smoking a pipe while looking at the barbarian.
On the fifth chair, a large monstrous dragon acts as a game master and throw fire at the party

Some dices, candles and a slice of pizza are lying on the table
Ziggurat@jlai.luto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How much damage could you do with the power to shoot cosmic rays?4·10 days agoConsidering that some cosmic ray reach energy in the Joule range, it would definitely be very bad.
On the other hand, people would use you as a particle accelerator for research and that’s damn cool

Ziggurat@jlai.luto rpg@ttrpg.network•What 5 games would you recommend for the broadest possible sample of table top RPGs and story games?3·11 days agoIndeed, I am old enough to remember the time when delta green was just a COC sourcebook but it’s a great take on COC. There is also a couple of modernized Chtulhu games, let alone non mythos horror games (Kult 😍😍😍)
Ziggurat@jlai.luto rpg@ttrpg.network•What 5 games would you recommend for the broadest possible sample of table top RPGs and story games?2·11 days agoWhat do you mean by “bleed potential”?
Bleed is that moment where your in-game emotion starts to mix with your IRL emotional system. A non RPG example would be crying while reading a book/wathcing a movie. The same can happen in RPG where you’re feeling angry, sad, happy because your character feels so. It’s something that some RPG player (Mostly narrative games and nordic LARP) players look for.
The word actually comes from nordic larp but is also commonly used in tabletop https://nordiclarp.org/wiki/Bleed

Ziggurat@jlai.luto rpg@ttrpg.network•What 5 games would you recommend for the broadest possible sample of table top RPGs and story games?13·11 days agoThat’s a tricky question, but let’s try-it
-
A D20, level based, high fantasy game, so let’s say D&D/Pathfinder or one of the many clones
-
A prompt based, narrative immersive game with a lot of bleed potential let’s say Alice is missing
-
A horror games, I would say Call of Chtulhu because it’s the classic one, but also to show player a percent-based skill mechanic
-
Iron-sworn in GM-less mode, as it ticks both the narrative consequence driven game (PBTA) and the GM-less box
-
A sci-fi game, in order to get a recent design, and a sample of dice pool I would say Coriolis
Only 5 games is actually quite restrictive, especially to show different game type and mechanics. I am a bit annoyed that I didn’t found any slot for Vampire/World-of-Darkness (considering how popular is the franchise) and that Iron sworn is the only PBTA (especially considering it’s not the classical PBTA) I would also love to add a Cyberpunk game (Shadowrun or Red) as it’s also a popular franchise, extend the D&D clones with OSR, and add Blade in the Dark considering it’s massive influence on the recent RPG scene

Ziggurat@jlai.luto No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world•How do AI data centers manage to *consume* water, but when I cool my house, my A/C *makes* water?6·11 days agoThis is the complicated part with water consumption, saving water in the Netherlands won’t make rain in Morroco.
However, there is only so many rain water stored in the ground at a given time and brought by the rivers. This water need to be used mostly for agriculture, then human consumption, and finally industry. Once it’s back in the cloud we don’t fully know where it will fall again, let alone if it’s polluted.
Sure it’s a renewable ressource, the problem start when you the water faster than the rate at which it renews, especially during summer. In Europe the problem will be even worse with the global warming. The alpine glacier are disappearing meaning that we’ll loose a major water reserve for summer
Ziggurat@jlai.luto RPGMemes @ttrpg.network•One must imagine Steve Jackson happy [TTRPG community]4·12 days agoguess if you’ve played one variation you at least get a bit of taste of the mechanics
The thing is that there is more than just the rules, I feel like a Shadowrun or DnD player, the kind who enjoy crunch and gear will find Eclipse phase system quite OK, while a COC player will struggle with it (despite the base being almost the same, a percent roll under a skill). A bit like heavy metal and Flamenco heavily relies on guitar but are very different.
However, the more rpg you played the easiest they’re to get, with 4-5 questions, you know enough to pay a session without fooling stupid
