    Gardening

    We were living for a while in San Francisco, in a neighborhood that was encased in fog for 25 - 100% of each day. The apartment building had a little shared back yard that we adopted. We pulled all the weeds and dropped cuttings of succulents into the sandy soil. By the time we left we had a...

    Trailer Backrooms

    Looks like some similar beats to the book House of Leaves as well. I think the genre of liminal horror is really interesting. It will be interesting to see how it translates to the big screen.

    Trailer Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone (Season 1) trailer

    No matter my own dislike of the series, I think this is true. I teach elementary school and I still see HP inspiring kids to level up their reading from picture books and graphic novels to chapter books. Everyone's got their own lines in the sand, and mine is a living author that still benefits...

    Ah yes, people who believe in the right of expression and gender identity are famously intolerant.

    Never really liked the books, didn't like the movies, hate the author and her views, will be actively discouraging people in my life from watching and supporting this. There are so many other wonderful stories out there!

    AI/LLMs AI art bans are going to ruin small 3rd party creators

    This is a nice site you have here, Morrus. I might have to have created it myself...

    I can't speak loud enough for the baker to hear me from my house so I stole someone's phone and made the call. But that's okay because it's cheaper than buying a phone. Now it's my phone.

    Oh yes, I forgot! I'll be right back, I need to go bake a cake by purchasing it from a store. Don't worry, I called and told the baker what kind of cake I wanted so I obviously created it myself.

    AI/LLMs AI art bans are going to ruin small 3rd party creators

    This is such a strange definition. Isn't the act of creating the work literally being creative? When I write a story, I come up with an idea. And then I work through various drafts to refine the idea. I'm being actively creative by... creating my story. I'm being creative by trying out...

    It's not the same because the students are human.

    You seem to be seeking some kind of moral absolution for using AI in your work. You're not going to get that here. If using AI makes you happy, go out and use AI. But don't expect folks to support you financially while doing so.

    If you want something you like more than stock art, hire an artist to create it. You can even give them feedback to iterate on the art so it's even more to your liking. Or you could create the art yourself! Or you could use AI and choose to not sell your work on Foundry or other sites that...

    D&D General Are you content with what you have in DnD regarding physical/digital material?

    In every edition I've played, I almost never buy anything other than the core rules. Everything else I like making myself, including settings, adventures, and custom species. So I'm very content!
