Not A Possum

Hedonist, but probably not in the way you think.
He/Him
Just try to be decent, ok?

@AtelierElysara @Hsirah6991 Then it's not a proper analogy. The point here is having something of equal quality despite the process.

@meowkoteeq AI assistance is a force multiplier. If the developer themselves brings little to the table, AI probably won't have that much of an impact.

[Not A Possum @AxiaDjinn]

@AtelierElysara @Hsirah6991 I think the main point is it being tender, juicy, and full of flavor, no? How we get there is of little matter most of the time.

@movieguyjon Session Zero it, man. You need to be in tune with how the players want to play or find other players.

With that in mind, I strongly encourage you to ask them if they would like their game to be boring and anticlimactic but let the dice rule everything.

@xochivacchus @HeienYang God, I hate 3.8 so much...

@ScionofCulture I think in the case of the Tolkien orcs it's significantly simpler: all the orcs encountered during the story are enemy combatants. It's not a species thing, it's them working for the bad guy. Who knows? Maybe there's a group of orcs out there who don't fight for Sauron.

@ix_lemon @andrewpprice The fact that you, specifically, cannot find use for a tool does not mean that the tool is useless.

@MadsPosting Quick! Someone get this cat a camera and filming crew!

@equine__dentist Give him a suit, cocaine, and send him to the trading floor.

@walkdotdv @DrWinBougie @millerman Oh, shit. I was going to suggest sequences of infinite finite-length sentences, but apparently even that's not necessary. There are valid sentences in the English language with infinite length due to the concept of recursion within it.

[Not A Possum @AxiaDjinn]

@walkdotdv @DrWinBougie @millerman Right. But there are still infinite sequences.

[Not A Possum @AxiaDjinn]

@walkdotdv @DrWinBougie @millerman No disagreement there. You provided a definition and I'm following it. But that definition then makes utterances not encompass the totality of the English Language.

[Not A Possum @AxiaDjinn]

@walkdotdv @DrWinBougie @millerman You can take a story and just keep extending it infinitely. That is very much part of the language.

[Not A Possum @AxiaDjinn]

@walkdotdv @DrWinBougie @millerman Makes sense, given the definition of "utterance" as a finite sequence. But English is very much capable of producing infinite sequences.

[Not A Possum @AxiaDjinn]

@RezabekA @wowAwesomeness @millerman Yeah, no, that makes more sense. The explanation really helped my intuition.

[Not A Possum @AxiaDjinn]

@walkdotdv @DrWinBougie @millerman So it's a matter of definition. They have to be finitely long. That doesn't seem to encompass the whole of the English language, though.

[Not A Possum @AxiaDjinn]

@RezabekA @wowAwesomeness @millerman Ah, I see. And "adding one and rolling over" encounters the same issue. Correct?

[Not A Possum @AxiaDjinn]

@DrWinBougie @millerman Is the set of utterances in English truly countable? Genuinely asking. I'm a bit stuck, conceptually, on this.

[Not A Possum @AxiaDjinn]

@yashv_singh @millerman A single one, yes. But all the combinations of characters in a finite alphabet are uncountable. Right? And that group seems closer to language than a single combination of characters.

[Not A Possum @AxiaDjinn]

@RezabekA @wowAwesomeness @millerman There is one to produce them, at least. My confusion is more of terminology. Is "listing" something the same as counting it?

[Not A Possum @AxiaDjinn]

@RezabekA @wowAwesomeness @millerman Wait. This is where I get a bit lost. Isn't there a naive algorithm for this? The issue is that it doesn't halt. It would take an uncountable number of steps and time.
