Man, you are on the fucking ball

Your family after I’m through with you.

/s <3

Looks a lot like him but I don’t think so. The eyebrows are too full and too dark.

Oh god no. Just had it saved in my memes folder and it always makes me laugh

Totally agreed, however this isn’t a hot pocket. This is a ‘Crustini’. They are a thousand times better. The patry is super flaky and almost pastry-esque.

1. Because it can also be used to demonstrate ADHD

2. Because I did not save it with the original context

3. Because, honestly, I think the full image is fuckin’ dumb. The first image I can believe. Anything after that is just taking the piss.

Hell no. I post ‘Not OC’ because one user decided to have a screaming meltdown about how I was misleading people by uploading stuff and not saying ‘Not OC’. I’m already babysitting enough people on Lemmy. The ‘Oh this is AI’ people can deal with having their stupidity repeatedly called out to their face and deal with my frustration that they don’t have enough brain cells to scoop together the ability to type tineye.com into the address bar.

Your frustration is proof enough of that

My frustration is proof that people are incapable of rational thought without their hand being held.

I’m disappointed I have to do the same thing, again, in the same comment thread.

You said not real kitties and then explained how it wasn’t. Pretty sure that was an accusation.

Moreover, you said unnecessary defensiveness. It’s necessary. Everytime there’s an accusation about something being AI, the comment gets upvoted until someone points out how it isn’t. Everytime an accusation is made about me posting AI is another time that I’ve got to defend myself later from someone saying that Stamets uploads AI slop. I have enough accusations made about me for no reason, posting AI isn’t another one I need to have following me around everywhere.

Sorry I’m a slut for the hairy :(

It was just a lot of stupid videos about celebrities and their signatures, trust me lmao

Well I love this and 100% have to remake this into a high quality

Oh no, you misunderstand. I had to create that signature FOR the shitty tablets. My previous signature just ended up looking like I was a stroke victim.

Those things are what got me to use this signature too actually. My previous one was cursive (granted, sloppily) but it just ended up a weird mess. Started doing this to make it visible.

I just realized that I had to think for a while about what a penny looks like. God we banned them here in Canada so long ago…

Which is a problem to deal with when it arises. What exhausts me is having to say “No it isn’t AI, it’s real, you just forgot about basic photography. Also stop wasting my time with these accusations that will have people like a mob downvoting something and losing their mind when using tineye for 5 seconds would answer your question.”

I had shit removed from @Pics@lemmy.world because the mod over there saw two accusations of an image being AI and removed it and refused blatant proof of it being a photo from it being from multiple angles with the same “errors”. It’s why I stopped posting there entirely and went to nocontextpics. When the mods are jumping on the bandwagon then it isn’t a place I want to be associated with.

At least that’s done ironically.

but I’d prefer not to be told what I think

I am merely going off of what you said.

A constant stream of “meh, why not? Fine by me.” seems kind of lame / Giving players carte blanche to warp the world whenever the GM feels like it is lame.

The original meme tied the rule of cool to being a good GM. I don’t think that’s sensible.

And I think it’s not sensible to follow the rules ad infinitum and never bend them at all. The bending of those rules is ‘the rule of cool’.

But there are many other ways for players to contribute, I enjoy using them as a player and a GM, so I listed some.

Which is great and all but they’re not compatible. The rule of cool is something in the moment and you are talking about things that are pre-written and pre-planned. You said that it only works if it’s “part of the system” but the entire point of the rule of cool is that it isn’t built into a system. There are no mechanics or limitations for it which is how it can go terribly wrong. But like the title said, in moderation. If you’re openly denying your players to do something cool when there is no downside to it… then that’s just going a shitty experience for the vast majority of players.

Best example I can think of is of a friend playing a game where the party was descending down a long pipe. It was low enough that you couldn’t stand up tall but tall enough that you had to crouch only to an extent. Most people slid down on their ass. My friend asked if he could slide down on his shield and the DM said no. There was no reason for saying no other than to stick to an incredibly strict set of rules that were pre-built. Sliding down on the shield would have done nothing other than add fun for him and the potential of things going wrong and adding for more hilarity. Like what if that banging noise alerts someone down there? Or if he fails an acrobatics check and faceplants at the bottom, making even more noise and potentially hurting himself?

That is the rule of cool.

Obliterating that from a game because it isn’t outwardly laid out in the rules is just not fun. It’s a limiting experience for your players because of an obsession with the rules as written.

It’s possible to have a fun discussion about a hobby we share without being unpleasant, so I’m going to assume you just want a friendly chat, and respond as if that comment was respectful.

I am not trying to be unpleasant at all and I am sorry if it came across that way. I just feel like you do not understand what the rule of cool actually is and are being dismissive of it due to that misunderstanding.

Oh the smell must have been horrific

So would my ass
