Have you considered a wiki instead? I use OtterWiki and I like it a lot. It has version control using Git too.
There are several dozen different wiki softwares out there, you can compare their features using this site.

Can you explain your opinion of the differences? A friend and I are interested in learning more about Discord alternatives that we can get our less tech-savvy friends to switch to.
Yeah, for some reason I find this hard to read. I think it might be the lack of contrast between the fonts? Could be fixable by adjusting the weight instead of totally changing the font, though. (I would change the handwritten-looking one just because I find it kind of ugly.)
It’s pretty generic overall, but some parts of the worldbuilding are better than others. It fits together in fun ways, and the later stuff is better, but most of the early-game stuff is bland. Just FYI - I never beat it, but I played about 40 hours in 2015 and right now I’m about 10 hours into a replay.
I don’t know if it’s just because of the time since I’ve last played, but Re-Reckoning has felt like a lot more of a chore to play than the original. I don’t remember absolutely loving the original, though; it was always pretty mid, I just thought it was charming.

Do what you want, its your experience that is ruined, not mine.
The fact that you believe there’s a single way to play a game is so fucking hilarious when stuff like speed-running and challenges exist. Oh well. Enjoy your purist bullshit.
If the opinion is “playing on easy means you don’t actually want to play,” I’m gonna give it the criticism it deserves.
Let me have my opinion. Why even leave your comment if you are pro-opinions?
Or maybe they just don’t have fast reflexes so easy is… easier. My wife almost never plays on normal because she can’t.
If she plays on normal, she will never finish the game and be so frustrated that it will cause her not to enjoy her evening. She works a lot and needs to de-stress when she gets home, so playing on easy is the best way for her.
Stop judging people. Just play your game and enjoy it.
I would recommend Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning. The normal mode is already stupid easy, so you feel like a god on easy mode.
It’s a fantasy setting with a ton of story and lore, so if you don’t care about that it may not be for you.
Maybe not the best example, but The Prestige was very fun. I thought the reveal was worth waiting for, it sort of felt like a whodunit.
Hmm, I tried it out after seeing this but I’m not really much of a fan of the mobile-first approach. I’ve moved on to HortusFox and it’s more what I was expecting.
My wife is the one who’ll be using it though, so we’ll see if she likes it.
The problem comes when producing work. A generative model will only produce things that are essentially interpolations of artworks it has trained on. A human artist interpolates between artworks they have seen from other artists, as well as their own lived experiences, and extrapolate […].
Yes, but how does that negate its usefulness as a tool or a foundation to start from? I never made any assertion that AI is able to make connections or possess any sort of creativity.
Herein lies the argument that generative AI in its current state doesn’t produce anything novel and just regurgitates what it has seen.
There’s a common saying that there is no such thing as an original story, because all fiction builds on other fiction. Can you see how that would apply here? Just because thing A and thing B exist doesn’t mean that thing C cannot possibly be interesting or substantially different. The brainstorming potential of an AI with a significant dataset seems functionally identical to an artist searching for references on Google (or Pixiv).
Having someone copy your voice to make it say things you did not say is something many will be very uncomfortable with.
So is this your main issue? I’m just not sure that that is really a valid reason, since many people are very uncomfortable with like, organ donation, pig heart valves, animal agriculture, ghostwriters, real person fanfiction, or data collection by Google. I’m sure there is something in the world that most people see as either positive or neutral that makes you very uncomfortable. For me, it’s policing.
On the economic front, I agree - these companies should have been licensing these images from the start and we should be striving to create some sort of open database for artists so that they are compensated. It’s possible that awarding royalties, while flawed, may be a good framework since they could potentially be paid for all derivative works and not simply the image itself. But that may be prohibitively expensive due to the sheer number of iterations being performed, so it’s hard to say.
It’s not theft, the artist still has their work. If anything, it’s copyright infringement. When some 16-year-old aspiring artist uses another artists’ work as a reference or traces something, what’s that?
I guess you could call it practice, but then doesn’t AI do the same thing by iterating based on its dataset? Some AI outputs look terrifying and janky - so did my art when I was younger.
I dunno, like this issue isn’t as simple as I used to think it was. If we look outside of economics (because artists need money to survive, like all of us) is there actually a problem here?
I’m still trying to figure out how I feel about all of this, but it’s pretty obvious AI isn’t just gonna go away like NFTs did. I really am interested in discussion, I’m not trolling.
So like, I guess I’m just wondering how that refutes his point that it’s a tool for artists then.
I personally am aware of people who run local LLMs trained on their own art so they don’t have to spend as much time sketching or doing linework.
Maybe you’re just not as open-minded about this as you could be? It’s being used in sketchy ways by a lot of people, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t have a place, especially at the idea stage.
He argued that it’s just the same when an artist draws inspiration from other peoples’ art and creates their own - which is just plain false.
Hey, can you articulate the difference though? Stating this as a plain fact seems kinda like you’re constructing reality to fit your opinion and maybe that’s what your friend is pushing back on.
It’s true that AI is often trained on copyrighted images, but artists use copyrighted images as references all the time. I know AI can’t be literally “inspired,” or have artistic intentions, but like, what actually is the difference? Other than philosophical differences that involve like, the inability to emulate actual creativity.
Seems like AI is just faster, because it’s a computer that can do tons of adjustments instantly instead of iterating over time like a human. Anyway, just food for thought. I don’t think AI is going to replace artists entirely but a lot of companies are definitely going to try to see how far they can take it.
For reference:
My wife’s dad makes this garlic chili oil where he tosses a bunch of red Asian chili peppers (that he grows himself each summer) and a ton of minced garlic and blends it with a neutral oil.
I normally mix it with some mayo to give it a thicker texture so it’s more dippable but it’s good by itself too. It goes great with essentially everything, but my favourites to use it with are eggs, pizza, and meats.
I think that assumes that a person’s attractiveness to a passive observer is equivalent to their attractiveness to their long-term partner. Someone who loves you probably thinks it’s cute when your hair is messy, for example.
If you fall out of love, yeah, maybe leave your boyfriend. But if you still love him despite his beer gut and bald patch, maybe that’s not a bad thing? Also, all relationships happen on a timeline, lol.
I can only speak for myself and my observations, but I don’t think it’s normal. It happens, but it’s uncommon. I think it’s more normal for people to have similarly attractive partners. Some people are cuter than others even at the same “level.”
Most of my girlfriends have been about the same level of attractiveness. I think I’m probably a 5 or 6 out of 10. If I lost weight and cleaned up I’d probably get to a 7, but that wouldn’t change my attraction to my wife. Maybe at that point it would look like I “settled”?
Yeah! It lets me focus on content instead of building the actual site so I thought I would suggest it given OP’s use case.
Also the CSS can be modified with a separate file that overrides the default, so it’s pretty customizable without touching the actual config files at all.
