Another fact, apparently Chinese gacha players got angry that in GFL2 a female character has close relations with a male NPC character that they felt they were being NTRed because only the player should have any sort of relationship with their gacha waifus so they review bombed Reverse Collapse instead. Chinese gacha players seem to be a different breed entirely.
It's a bit more involved that this; the character in question was from GFL1 and represented the QBZ-14 rifle - which, for those not in the know, is the national rifle of the Chinese army, so there's a bit of national pride involved there. Second, when the company that owns GFL took a look at the matter, resulted in an official statement involving potential corporate sabotage, atleast one fired(female) writer, and a flood of original writers coming back from working on thier side-project Project Neural Cloud and noting a marked increase in writing quality from the early game in GFL2 to the current.
So there's a bit more teeth there than just 'blooh blooh chinese weebs are weird fucks'.

Dandyism has entered the chat.
I have weird obsessions, okay? I only wish I had gotten that book when it was new, as opposed to now. That price tag, yikes...

Very true. I’m just trying to point out that, while I one among many with issues regarding Darwin, I don’t recall him ever using Llms to try and back up his arguments.

I... I'm sorry. What? I cannot even begin to fathom how someone could come to this conclusion.
I'm not being disingenuous, or anything like that. If you have any articles and/or references to point me at, I'd love to read them.

? This is a common rhetoric that's often seen on twitter. As much as I hate defending Darwin, he kinda ghosted before referencing LLMs as some arbiter of reality became very popular.

Using LLMs for artwork is a very interesting case of economic forces in action.
Turns out, it's entirely possible that alot of artists are simply pricing thier results too high and are getting bit because of it.

Really hard to beat The Devil's Spear. That sheild drop moment is just utter perfection.

Quite. Naming your system after a fantasy tool that was once used for good and has been corrupted by evil and thus dangerous to use with skeptical returns should have everyone giving you a side-eye and going 'Bruh'.

Do you have any idea how difficult it is nowadays to track down the actual Code Noirs in regards to treatment of slaves in the American South?
To quote;
VI. We forbid our white subjects, of both sexes, to marry with the blacks, under the penalty of being fined and subjected to some other arbitrary punishment. We forbid all curates, priests, or missionaries of our secular or regular clergy, and even our chaplains in our navy to sanction such marriages. We also forbid all our white subjects, and even the manumitted or free-born blacks, to live in a state of concubinage with blacks. Should there be any issue from this kind of intercourse, it is our will that the person so offending, and the master of the slave, should pay each a fine of three hundred livres. Should said issue be the result of the concubinage of the master with his slave, said master shall not only pay the fine, but be deprived of the slave and of the children, who shall be adjudged to the hospital of the locality, and said slaves shall be forever incapable of being set free. But should this illicit intercourse have existed between a free black and his slave, when said free black had no legitimate wife, and should said black marry said slave according to the forms prescribed by the church, said slave shall be thereby set free, and the children shall also become free and legitimate ; and in such a case, there shall be no application of the penalties mentioned in the present article.
Now, there is a valid arguement to be made that the enforcement of said laws wasn't exactly strict, or that there wasn't fair and equatible treatment thereof. But you can't say that, by the written law on paper, that the situation was a case of 'It's free real estate!' for people to do whatever they want with thier female slaves.
And, yes, this is only one case of a very specific state in regards to thier treatment on slaves. But it was also put to paper in 1724. I don't have the time to invest to track down and compare all Code Noirs from that particular time period, or do a comparative analysis on how things changed over time leading up to the Civil War.

If you strech the time period back to 1930, you could make an argument that 1930 to 1990s represents a solid degradation on gun rights, from the twisted origins of the NFA Tax Stamp in 1934, the Gun Control act of 1968, the fucking Hughes Amendment, and culminating in the assault weapons ban in the 1990s.
Ah, skimmed over the review-bombing portion. A fair opinion.
I confess to being just a tad thin-skinned about the topic, as I've found people who bring up the entire 'GFL2 Chinese gatcha players' tend to run either toward casual bigotry and/or the kind of people whom would be making fun of nerds back in high school, with a strong whiff of grifting/tourism 'how do you do fellow gatcha players'.
Still, like I said. Understandable, coming from your PoV. Admittedly, I haven't played Reverse Collapse, mostly due to my first exposure being GFL and knowing how, uh... look, I know how these guys go in their writing. It's good stuff, don't get me wrong, but there's only so much existential depression I can take.
