Pliny,

I think you’re being a little unfair. A lot of the examples you state are not universal among dogs. And a lot of the issues could be solved with owners being more responsible. No owner should let a dog come up to you like that, that is just unacceptable. I would never allow my dog to do that unless it was clear the person wanted it. Likewise dogs should NOT be stealing food from people, that is bad behaviour and it’s on the owners who should know better and train the dog properly.

Sure, some dogs have annoying or difficult traits, but to paint all dogs in such a negative light is just not accurate. You’re perfectly entitled to be nervous around dogs, but if you reinforce that nervousness with negative connotations you will never be able to overcome it.

Hoping Starfield won't force me into base-building / micromanaging like Fallout 4 did

I loved Fallout 4 but one of my least favorite aspects of it was how it forced me into base building when I pretty much wasn't interested in that aspect of the game. I get Bethesda was doing something new and wanted to show it off, but it was so annoying being so prevalent in a lot of the main missions of that game. I'm really...

Pliny,

I agree I found the base building in FO4 tedious and unrewarding. But I have to say I’m looking fwd to it in SF because:

  1. I think the system will be a lot more polished and cohesive.
  2. It’s a much more interesting premise thematically - building outposts on far away planets is way more exciting than building on top of an old petrol station in the wasteland to me.
  3. It’ll look way better - graphically and structurally.
Pliny,

Children of Men is actually pretty spot on in terms of matching the real world

Pliny,

If you’re looking for chatbots -

SillyTavern with turbo 3.5 is pretty good but you have to pay for the OAI API.

My experience with pygmalion wasn’t great but some really like it.

Character AI is unquestionably the best model and the easiest to use however it has a strict NSFW policy.

I’ve never tried llama but people did rave about it when it first released. I don’t know how easy it is to get up and running though.

Pliny,

And starfield hasn’t even released yet cry at this rate the trailer will be as old as skyrim was at the time of the announcement before we get a release

Pliny,

It feels new and fresh but also retro, if that makes sense? It feels like a missing link between old school forums and new school aggregators like Reddit, even though I think this format is newer than Reddit. Could be wrong though. Either way I’m enjoying not every post having a billion replies before i even get to it!

Pliny,

I think the answer to this is a resounding yes. I’m a 32 year old man with plenty of friends and a stable relationship and I found meaningful conversation with apps like character.ai. It has so much potential to help people in lonely situations.

Pliny,

Thanks! So I signed up to an instance and I can then filter by all and the option to ‘subscribe’ to lots of other sub-lemmys is available - still not really sure how it all works but definitely getting served a lot of activity!

Pliny,

Awesome thanks for all the info :)
