  1. This kind of emphasizes that #Daggerheart definitely _has_ a market and will be very appealing within that market, I'm just not it.

    I think #CandelaObscura's system is a great system for a different setting and one I actively enjoy. I think that Candela's _setting_, at least the way I use it, would be better suited to the Cypher system. But I can see plenty of games and settings I would love running in its system.

    But Daggerheart doesn't give me that vibe. I _do_ see what it is doing and applaud how it did it for the most part, at least for what it is, I just don't have much desire to run or play with it.

  6. Part of the thing with eldritch horror games is that they suffer from mechanics for the things you find, but do okay with mechanics for the _players_. Especially light mechanics meant to give a sense of dread and attrition. That's a pretty clean fit for #CandelaObscura on a mechanics level.

  7. In general, I don't think that the #CandelaObscura _system_ works very well for how I think your average group actually _plays Candela_. I think that the Cypher system, however, would be _great_ for Candela. Conversely. I think that Candela's system would be great for call-of-cthulhu games.

  8. #HowDoWeRelationship is honestly refreshing. It's a yuri series, with adult characters, that just screams "written about, by, and for lesbians."

  9. "There's just too much adultery."

    My dude, it's Arthuriana. A genre that the number one most known story today from is ALL ABOUT THE ADULTERY, and that's just the very tip of the iceberg. If you are reading Arthurian fanfic you can be pretty much expect there to be adultery.

    It's fine if that bothers you, but if so maybe Arthurian fiction is not for you.

    At some point just…

  14. Oh no.

    Rest in peace Jane McAlevey. You were so tremendously impactful on many of us and you will be sorely missed.

  15. I just sent this email to #TractorSupply. I am not expecting a response.

    If you are a customer of theirs, especially (but not exclusively) if you are rural, I am generally happy to help you find alternatives if you wish to take your business elsewhere.

  16. This is one of the major things you'll find in the literature: women's health literature more broadly began to hone in on the difference between synthetic progestins and micronized #P4 a long while back.

    So you'll find some review talking about the risks associated with #progesterone but then find out that their entire research is based on synthetic progestins in a combination of mice and postmenopausal women.

  17. I mean just to start with calling #nivenly an "AI Art Foundation" is like saying that the ASF is a "blockchain foundation" because they are incubating incubator.apache.org/projects/, except that the relationship between Apache and ResilientDB is actually stronger than the relationship between Nivenly and Haidra.

    This blog thing is telling me a lot about some people in how they react and what they decide to focus on, but it isn't telling me anything even… coherent about Nivenly.

  18. I have started a conversation on the @nivenly Community Boards ( github.com/nivenly/community/d ) about #FSEP and #TheBadSpace, starting with my own breakdown of the doc.

    Insights, considerations, and further discussion welcome!

  19. It just really continues to feel like #w3c is trying push #JsonLD into everything and the kitchen sink… regardless of if it fits and doing a "beat to fit paint to match" when it doesn't, the JSON-LD working groups and such are busy trying to figure out how to do a #YamlLD, and the rest of us are trying to figure out how to do this practically in production in a way that doesn't ignore all of JSON-LD, or just doing "JSON + a weird context obj."

    The situation feels untenable on a few levels.

  20. 1. That's not what a supercomputer is.

    2. The audience of #nivenly is highly technical already, we know what distributed workload clusters are.

    3. If someone didn't know and is being assumed to not know, then the choice of references here is fascinating. Not "value neutral" items, but specifically public good projects in the domain of scientific exploration and research.

    I don't think this part is deliberately manipulative, but it _is_ manipulative of the audience perception.

  21. Here we see several things coming together, but the one I want to emphasize is that this is an explicit statement that #Haidra would like to help train models on (potentially) stolen data.

    It's again hard to claim that you are ethically neutral middleware when this is a stated and expressed goal.

    I'd also like to highlight exactly what "open" might mean in this context, specifically with this paper on the topic, which was just published: papers.ssrn.com/sol3/papers.cf

  26. Let's not mince words.

    It is the creator saying outright that they were trying to solve their problem of being unable to get people to work #ForExposure at a mass scale.

    This is why I'm describing what they are doing with language as a "shell game."

    #Haidra _cannot_ be ethically neutral middleware when the author's stated purpose in building and running the system is to make it so that people can avoid needing to pay artists for their work.

    There are other problems, but start there.
