Share a story, ask a question, or start a conversation about (almost) anything you desire. Maybe you'll make some friends in the process.


RULES (updated 01/22/25)

  1. Be respectful: no harassment, hate speech, bigotry, and/or trolling. To be concise, disrespect is defined by escalation.
  2. Encourage conversation in your OP. This means including heavily implicative subject matter when you can and also engaging in your thread when possible. You won't be punished for trying.
  3. Avoid controversial topics (politics or societal debates come to mind, though we are not saying not to talk about anything that resembles these). There's a guide in the protocol book offered as a mod model that can be used for that; it's vague until you realize it was made for things like the rule in question. At least four purple answers must apply to a "controversial" message for it to be allowed.
  4. Keep it clean and SFW: No illegal content or anything gross and inappropriate. A rule of thumb is if a recording of a conversation put on another platform would get someone a COPPA violation response, that exact exchange should be avoided when possible.
  5. No solicitation such as ads, promotional content, spam, surveys etc. The chart redirected to above applies to spam material as well, which is one of the reasons its wording is vague, as it applies to a few things. Again, a "spammy" message must be applicable to four purple answers before it's allowed.
  6. Respect privacy as well as truth: Don’t ask for or share any personal information or slander anyone. A rule of thumb is if something is enough info to go by that it "would be a copyright violation if the info was art" as another group put it, or that it alone can be used to narrow someone down to 150 physical humans (Dunbar's Number) or less, it's considered an excess breach of privacy. Slander is defined by intentional utilitarian misguidance at the expense (positive or negative) of a sentient entity. This often links back to or mixes with rule one, which implies, for example, that even something that is true can still amount to what slander is trying to achieve, and that will be looked down upon.

Going home and relaxing. It's been a physically demanding week and my body could use a break

Recently we started base building and exploring in Sons of the Forest. Deforestation with the homies.

We also like to behave questionably in BF 2042, where we all spawn with anti-air missile launchers, and then systematically shoot down enemy aircraft.

We might also try Raft this session.

Going to attempt to fix the wobbly stairs on my back deck despite not having any of the tools or experience necessary to do so.

Bit of grocery shopping, some delicious but probably bad for me food and if I can wrangle it some FFXIV with my son and brother in law (BIL is interstate so need to make sure they're available).

I want to take a look at this https://github.com/w-okada/voice-changer which is apparently a realtime ai voice changer. My friend wants to cosplay a character on his live stream and have the voice match with the visuals. Plan is to try the pre-trained models (to see if its any good) then try to train the model on as much audio we can get 💀 lol

It's Thanksgiving here. I have church, that's about it. I don't eat meat so Thanksgiving is just a long weekend with cranberry sauce and sweet potato to me.
