Is this game supposed to be puzzle oriented or entirely combat oriented? Some ideas from other games I've played before: Jumping Puzzles (Probably combined with "collect the item(s)") - In GW2 you can complete optional jumping puzzles for achievements. Labyrinth / Maze - The bigger the better. Collect The Item(s) - Probably best done in small doses. Hunt The Monster(s) - Grotesque monsters have spawned in / been created in / grew in / etc. wonderland. Only you can hunt them down. This can be "go there kill thing" where the journey is the difficult part or straight up Shadows of the Colossus. Delivery Quests - These are a decent way to keep lower level regions relevant, but if travel times are long they will be tedious.

True that. I usually browse on mobile and I haven't figured out how to trigger the scroll bar on my browser so I just end up spending a while flicking.

If a mod sees this comment, please delete it. The quote got messed up and I went into edit to fix it but it didn't work.

I don't think I ever watched DS9, but I definitely heard the quote from somewhere. Thanks for the info! I've had that in my sig for years.

Quick clarification questions: For variant 2: Do pawns count as pieces? In chess terminology pawns do not count as pieces. For variant 3: Do any adjacent squares count or is it only those in the same column or row? Can I make a version of this as a non commercial digital game and post it in the downloads section?

From my understanding, post editing is a time limited thing with the maximum time being up to 24 hours later depending on account veterancy. If you want to edit the post, I recommend messaging the moderators through the contact us section. They'll be able to unlock that for you, but I'm mot sure what the turnaround timeframe is like.

Isn't this what almost all human artists do, replicate the styles or techniques of previous artists and either throwing in their own unique spin or combination of subject / technique / medium? That's all the ai is doing. It's just used a tool to replace the replication part of the process that human artists use. For example, I could digitally create a realistic landscape with my complete and utter lack of talent using techniques that would be considered standard in digital art, using an ai generator just makes the process faster and easier. Yes we absolutely should give great artists the credit they deserve, but I don't understand the hullabaloo about ai being unethical when it's literally just doing a limited subset of what human artists have been doing since art became a widespread thing.

I just saw that video pop up in my youtube recommendations the other day. Didn't expect to see it here.

Basically this. Even before ai clutter became a thing I've wished so many times I could exclude certain tags from searches or files shown to me in the downloads section

I guess I’ll throw in my list. Most of these authors aren’t as active anymore. MasterXploder Kelli Trailrunner Xeri The Crow (I’m assuming this is the person I’m thinking of, they used to have a different username.) Ishigreensa Satyr Railgun-sama Xx4evRockerxX There’s probably more that deserve mention but that I’ve forgotten about over the over a decade I’ve been a member here I’m not a fan of overly sexualized characters or actual sex in general. For me to be interested in and read something, it doesn’t have to be the best or even entirely match my interests. But it does at least have to do well enough in the following criteria: 1) Writing Style - If it reads too much like a news article or a child wrote it, it breaks immersion for me. Many of the newer stories on this site don’t meet this criteria in my opinion. 2) Believability - It doesn’t have to be overly realistic, but the characters have to act reasonably. And the setting / scenarios have to be consistent with each other.

I don’t get it. All I see is an empty quote box.

This has been suggested before (including by me) in the past, but hasn’t bern implemented yet. I think its on the list of possible feature additions but I don’t know of any concrete guarantees. Perhaps a mod could weigh in on this?
