Create your ideal succubus, combining 2 AIs ChatGPT for the personality and Stable Diffusion for the visual, thus being born GPT-Chan.
As time passed, GPT-Chan acted strangely, more close, and Bryce cared more and more for her, reaching the point where both, human and machine, fell in love, dog like Bryce's girlfriend was getting jealous and Bryce didn't want a cock cramp so he turned it off.

I've been interested more and more about the power of daydreaming. I think that if my daydreaming ability was extremely advanced, that it would activate an entirely new level of self-actualization for myself.

To this end, I've been looking for ways to enhance my ability to daydream, and have recently gotten interested in writing fiction (which there's already a thread here about it >>59403 ), tulpas (plenty of threads about that stuff), and in solo roleplaying. I don't see anything about solo roleplaying games, though, so I thought I'd make a thread about it.

I've tried solo roleplaying before in very naive attempts, but you run across the obvious pitfall: the temptation to metagame your character against knowledge that should only be privy to the GM or other characters is just too much. Quickly, it becomes unrealistic. I'm just getting started in this space, so I don't know a whole lot, but some of the systems (oracle systems like Mythic GM, for example) and techniques (solo episode journaling) that have been developed are a lot more advanced and appealing than I thought they'd be.

If anyone knows about any good solo RP systems or thoughts about it, please share.

I've put some thought in trying to make the system as bare bones as absolutely possible and this is what I have so far. Each successive iteration I've been stripping out more and more until this is what I'm left with so far. I still don't know if the categories quite make sense/work in my playtesting so far, even though I can force them to work…
My main issue atm are the action/theme oracles. In practice, I find I do need them to be that small so that the whole system "fits in human memory" without too much effort for a new player. By making them "multiplicative" I can capitalize on the exponential compression to really expand their power, e.g., you "roll" 3 times to get a word for each category, and the word combination defines the theme/noun or action/verb. This allows me to "fit" a lot more words into the same space. However, I find the theme/action oracle to still be really abstract to work with in playtesting so far. It's hard to bullshit up a MBTI/Compass system to define nouns/verbs.
The fate oracle I think works well when you play with the principle of "If you aren't willing to accept 3:7 or 7:3 odds, then don't bother with the fate oracle and just have it happen in the game."
Idk, I'm going to do a bit more playtesting to see if I can even out the action/theme oracle kinks.
I've got a more complete writeup I'm working on w/examples/etc., but I wanted to make sure I could at least get it not only on a single page, but on a single page with plenty of white space and DEAD simple (it's got to be done all in your head!).
Again, I don't know if I'll be arsed to finish up the full writeup, but whatever. I find the full writeup interesting as it not only explains all the design choices so far, but also explains what I've noticed in some other playtesting, which is that the system seems to have far more applications than just games.

Been playtesting some more, and the main issue I've come across is using the theme oracle. There are the specific words I choose in the theme oracle are giving me..bad vibes.
It's also not just that I can "represent" as many things as possible with as few words as possible, but I have to make the weightings of those representations be things more likely to carry a story. For example, one time I was playtesting and hit "ethereal" like three times in a row and was like, "O.k., come on, I don't want to make a @#$!ing pantheon right now!"
I think I can fix it by choosing the word categorizations more carefully, and being more willing to completely avoid certain categories, but…I'm not an ontologist.

I just had a thought. If I incorporated toki pona's ontology, I think that might help. Also, if I gave the player choice at each vertex of the triangles between a word or it antonym, that might help too?

Do you have a driver's licence? If so, how did you managed to obtain it? In Eastern Europe, it's pretty hard to get one, a long and painful journey.

It took me almost 1.5 years (including the COVID shutdowns) to get one. I also had to wageslave to be able to pay for the training, it's not cheap around here.

My motivation was that I live in a remote, hilly part of a small town, right next to a forest and there is no public transportation here. I was hold hostage up here, totally isolated. Sound good, but I was totally dependant on my parents to get into the town. I couldn't just go to the groceries, that would be a 2+ hour journey.

It's my single greatest achievement and I'm pretty proud of it. Driving is very useful skill, and one that is realistic and obtainable for NEETs, wizards. A way to make yourself more independent from your parents, others.

What are your thoughts?

Poland isn't part of the Eurozone, it still uses PLN.

>Do you have a driver's licence?

Yes. Car, motorcycle, and boat.

>If so, how did you managed to obtain it?

Car was government gibs. It's expensive, but you can save up over a year.
Boat licenses are cheap, exam is a joke.
Motorcycle was paid for by wageslaving.

I passed all my exams on the first try, but that's probably because I have tens of thousands of kilometres done on a bicycle, so I was used to operating within traffic.

I hate driving a car, you're always stuck in traffic and fun cars are expensive. Motorcycles I love driving, they are freeing, and you can get a very very fun motorcycle for just a few thousand euros.

caught the bus everywhere for eons before i finally got my license age 29. i think i'm a pretty good driver, i like running boomers off the road and blasting trance music when i speed around breaking all road laws
could not get the hang of driving when i was a teenager, then i tried when i was 25 but they actually made it so you had to be vaccinated to sit the driving test (not even kidding), which put me off and delayed me starting for 4 more years.

I used to really hate cars and be all pro public transit/etc. and be all on that "It's terrible how car-centric our society is" kick.
But I just got more and more sick of having to constantly keep my guard up while using mass transit. There are a lot of other reasons everyone else mentioned already, but the biggest motivator for me to drive was just so that I don't feel like I'm on the verge of getting mugged or robbed on a daily basis.

I think the whole backlash over AI is really just a clash of dualist vs materialist view of consciousness under the hood. I was thinking about why so many people are against AI. It doesn't make sense why even people whose jobs is safe from AI would still hate it so I hypothesize that they are offended because it challenged their worldview. They seethe because they subconsciously see it as a threat to their non-physical view of consciousness. Even the sub-100 iq working man who doesn't know anything about philosophy or humanities have a certain way of understanding the world. They may not be able to put it to words or even are aware of it, but the majority of the common folk are dualist and see the mind/soul and physical world as separate. Machines can do what the physical body do. They too can relent computers doing calculations. Most people are hates doing math anyway. The real realm of humanity is in our emotions, love, virtue, and the most straightforward of way of expressing these is through art and communication between each other. AI showing signs of simulating both art and verbal composition is an attack on this view. That's why they are so angry about AI and keep harping about soulessness while the people who support AI are materialists and they never care or believe in soul in the first place. AI is just a placeholder for human identity. It's like having simple-minded religious parents whose argument for god's existence is that the bible says so and then you share with them some atheistic argument you see on the internet. Of course they'll lash out.

Yesterday, I was reading an article that forwards this answer:
>The philosophy is thus established as an art of existence to learn, precisely, how to live.
This makes me think that everybody can do philosophy because it is a way to face our everyday issues.
>if you're a brainlet you need everything be told by others
See above, I said "do philosophy", not "learn philosophy". I did this because I think the value of philosophy is not in what we are thaught, but in how we reflect.
The value is in the processing we do that then creates a change in how we face life. Note, that, if you take it this way, it doesn't really matter if you agree with the big shots like Plato or some Harvard PHd.
The same article then continues:
>It is, again following Hadot, a way of existence characterized by three fundamental aspects: spiritual peace (ataraxia), inner freedom (autarkeia), and cosmic consciousness (megalopsuchia) or the awareness of belonging to the entire human community.

Anyone else interested in cryptography?

I want to try crack the Indus Valley script. Maybe we can together.

The idea of deciphering the Indus Valley script without a bilingual source like the Rosetta Stone is theoretically possible by testing hypothetical readings across multiple inscriptions to see if they produce consistent, coherent results. This method relies on identifying repeatable patterns, applying proposed values or meanings across different texts, and checking if they fit logically.

However, the main challenge with the Indus script is the extreme brevity of its inscriptions, with most being only a few symbols long, leaving little context to test hypotheses effectively. Additionally, the underlying language is unknown, and there’s no consensus on whether the script represents a full language or is simply a set of non-linguistic symbols used for administrative or religious purposes.

Researchers have applied statistical analyses and machine learning models to study symbol patterns, suggesting some linguistic-like structure, but not enough to confirm a full decipherment. While cross-checking across texts as you described has been attempted, the limited length and ambiguity of the symbols prevent conclusive results so far.

Do we know which language phylum the language belongs to? If we could crack the script without this, I'd be scared of what AI is capable of.

I've heard of that combination. I think it's pretty alright. Although, my chamomile is probably a year old or even older by now.

In other news, I've decided to try herbals from Celestial Seasonings. Their Raspberry Zinger and Country Peach Passion is pretty good. Their blueberry is very strong for one mug, and is okay if it's diluted a bit in a tea pot. It also smells like blueberry pancakes, for some reason. Their Orange and Spice is pretty smooth and has a delicate flavor. It's probably one of their best next to the Raspberry Zinger.

On actual tea, I still drink black teas like Earl Grey and Lady Grey if I find it. I like Lady Grey a lot more, but Earl Grey's still a great choice. I want to get into Moroccan mint tea, but I'll need fresh mint, which means growing some, since stores around me don't sell it. That's the only thing preventing me from making Moroccan mint tea, pretty much.
