Really crazy how "writing" is not a universal skill and "fiction writing" vs "technical writing" vs "writing peer reviews for work" are somehow all different muscles

*feels myself slipping* oh I NEED to write a fucked-up story

lets have a moment of appreciation for non-fandom independent wikis

finding an error in someone else's fic: awe. we are all human - this is totally understandable and doesn't bother me whatsoever. it is almost endearing to know that others are not perfect, and in their excitement to share, they made a small mistake.

finding an error in your own fic: a merciful death is too kind for me. i deserve to be burnt on a pyre or publicly executed at dawn

Yeah instead of getting "damaged" or "chipped" it gets "injured" which works the same way as far as i know. Maybe it heals itself over time if you rest a day? Or something? Usualy i just duct tape it back to working order. Ive never checked bc i always get it at the end of the game/final day. It deals corruption damage which is neato but other than that I've never really cared to get it.

Why is the hellsword so dang fragile? It lasts 1 fight minimum before getting injured so i never bother getting it anymore. Also no abilities/skills.

Am i missing something or is my bad luck once again rearing its ugly head?

Whenever I think about students using AI, I think about an essay I did in high school. Now see, we were reading The Grapes of Wrath, and I just couldn't do it. I got 25 pages in and my brain refused to read any more. I hated it. And its not like I hate the classics, I loved English class and I loved reading. I had even enjoyed Of Mice and Men, which I had read for fun. For some reason though, I absolutely could NOT read The Grapes of Wrath.

And it turned out I also couldn't watch the movie. I fell asleep in class both days we were watching it.

This, of course, meant I had to cheat on my essay.

And I got an A.

The essay was to compare the book and the movie and discuss the changes and how that affected the story.

Well it turned out Sparknotes had an entire section devoted to comparing and contrasting the book and the movie. Using that, and flipping to pages mentioned in Sparknotes to read sections of the book, I was able to bullshit an A paper.

But see the thing is, that this kind of 'cheating' still takes skills, you still learn things.

I had to know how to find the information I needed, I needed to be able to comprehend what sparknotes was saying and the analysis they did, I needed to know how to USE the information I read there to write an essay, I needed to know how to make sure none of it was marked as plagerized. I had to form an opinion on the sparknotes analysis so I could express my own opinions in the essay.

Was it cheating? Yeah, I didn't read the book or watch the movie. I used Sparknotes. It was a lot less work than if I had read the book and watched the movie and done it all myself.

The thing is though, I still had to use my fucking brain. Being able to bullshit an essay like that is a skill in and of itself that is useful. I exercised important skills, and even if it wasnt the intended way I still learned.

ChatGTP and other AI do not give that experience to people, people have to do nothing and gain nothing from it.

Using AI is absolutely different from other ways students have cheated in the past, and I stand by my opinion that its making students dumber, more helpless, and less capable.

However you feel about higher education, I think its undeniable that students using chatgtp is to their detriment. And by extension a detriment to anyone they work with or anyone who has to rely on them for something.

white lyle is like semi excusable cause we dont really know what he looked like pre-visitor but white joel? gallows.

yeah and i semi agree with you ... White joel is indeed gonna give u a death sentence in my books ( it was especially sad knowing the fanart was some really cute thing of him, sam, and the rat baby )

BUT about white Lyle being semi excusable, id say sorrrta not ? Most people after becoming cursed keep their natural skin tones ( Like Leigh and Dan, they still keep their natural skin tones even if they vary or change in different places like with Dan ) anddd knowing we DO get a snippet of his skin tones with his arms, it would be safest to assume hes black
