A place for majestic STEMLORD peacocking, as well as memes about the realities of working in a lab.
Rules
This is a science community. We use the Dawkins definition of meme.
Other way around. If your fantasy / sci-fi novel does not sell well, rebrand it as a new groundbreaking "history". Include how it gets ridiculed by main stream science that does maliciously ignore all the evidence.
You have instantly gained a huge, uncritical customer and fan base.
Edited a few typos.
Silly L. Ron Hubbard, trying to convince people to follow in your footsteps again?
Battlefield earth is unironically good though
One of John Travolta's greatest roles
Travolta should perform all his roles on a slant.
I remember a game I played ~9 years ago where you could send ships to explore the world and when they got back you had the option to reject their findings. If you never rejected anything, the world would be exactly like Earth, but everytime you rejected it would randomize the section that had been explored and over time it would start generating a whole new world.
And you could even make the planet flat by rejecting the discovery of it being round.
That sounds interesting. Do you recall the name?
Found it in my history, it's Neo Atlas 1469.
I reject your findings.
Adding to the requests for a name. I put your post into Gemini and it gave me a few choices, but all clearly wrong, before giving up and saying "it must be some obscure indie title".
Tried again with the "deeper thinking" version. Reus by chance?
Neo Atlas 1469
Thanks!
Yeah, so "AI" is just text prediction. It won't give you results that haven't been talked about a lot (accurate or otherwise). It's not actually using intelligence and trying to find the answer, so it's useless for something like this.
Yes, and I was hoping it would find articles or game descriptions that would give it an answer. I wasn't expecting magic. I was expecting it to pull from its sources and regurgitate an answer. GTFO of here trying to "wElL AcKsHuLly, AI is...."
Crazy of me to think that in all the games journalism it's pulled from that it might know. For the record, the answers it did give me were close and it was able to articulate why those answers might not be right because they didn't meet all of my criteria and it elaborated as to why. The answer I got was actually fairly helpful, unlike whatever you just dumped out.
Sure, but you adding a comment which you admit was wrong and just AI slop didn't help anything. If you're trying to find niche information, AI probably won't work. It doesn't matter the resources it has. It isn't thinking. It just pulls things that have the most relevancy, which will by definition be things that are more common, not accurate. It'll help you find popular titles, but not niche ones with very little written on them.
If I had said I searched it it wouldn't be any different.
Get off your high horse and honestly, fuck you. You're just a troll.
My comment also asked for the title and actually got that as a response.
All you've done is shit everywhere and show what a collassal jackass you are. Read the room. No one gives a shit. We're talking about the game and you're going off on some stupid half baked AI tangent.
Go touch some grass.
I want to play this
That's a super cool gameplay idea.
Here's an updated map. AFAIK, the author isn't actually a flat earther, but made this to meme on all the conspiracy theories at once. And also for the love of worldbuilding.
Conspiracy theorists don't have the imagination to write fantasy literature. They can't account for the inconsistencies in their theories and 99% of the time the reason they give for why a certain thing is the way it is amounts to: "the Jews did it".
JKR can't write a consistent world that makes sense either.
Well, she is a conspiracy theorist too. Mostly directed at trans people.
-reads up on new Flat Earth lore- ...did...did a Flat Earth lore creator watch Attack on Titan recently...?
So basically Disc World?
My god...
...you know what Discworld x AoT would kind of be a banger. Might have to go see if someone ever wrote fanfiction about that (should I write fanfiction about that???)
Brandon Sanderson is a Mormon and is a professor at BYU. I interpret his works as Mormon fanfiction.
He's pretty good at worldbuilding, too. And so far his worlds are actual spherical planets.
I should call her…
It's turtles, all the way down.
Nah, just one turtle with 4 elephants on top, holding a flat world.
All hail Great A'Tuin.
Hell yes! I totally use ley lines, contrails, and all sorts of crap in my DMing. It works crazy well and has so much documentation my job is easier.
Falling for conspiracy theories is a mental disorder. They're failing to process information critically. They couldn't write anything because writing requires skill, persistence, and consistency.
Turned out, writing interesting compelling stories is hard actually. You need way more than an idea, especially if your idea is "what if true things, but the opposite"
That's a great way of saying this. I used to enjoy talking about this stuff and when people would question if I believed any of it I'd have to explain I just like thought experiments and writing syfy shorts.
