Das ist einerseits REssourcenvrschwendung und andererseits sind´s hohe Kosten, die später wieder zur Erhöhung er…
you like chrono ark right. tell me about the baseball bat catholic
Pressel! She's a priest for some undisclosed religion and she joined the Investigation Team because she believes that she can save the monsters by smacking them really hard with her baseball bat divine staff. her whole kit revolves around her prophecy mechanic which allows you to put a random card from your deck into your hand every turn and power that skill up if it has the prophecy effect on it.
every character in chrono ark has at least two viable builds (and cards to support said builds). as a pure healer, Pressel has some of the strongest heals in the game that can be made even stronger through prophecies; on the other hand, you can spec her into more offensive skills like First Class to Heaven that is exactly what you might expect it to be
How can you discern in this age of misinformation if the images you’re seeing are real or fabricated?

As artificial intelligence (AI) continues to develop, it’s getting harder and harder to tell the difference between real photographs and AI-generated images.
AI can create everything from stunning landscapes to lifelike portraits in a matter of moments—and at first glance, they may appear perfectly legitimate.
In this age of misinformation, how can you discern if the images you’re seeing are real or fabricated?
Fortunately, there are subtle clues that can help us tell the difference, including inconsistencies in texture, anomalies in human features, and garbled writing. By understanding these telltale signs, you can better navigate digital information and assess the authenticity of the images you encounter.
Hands and limbs are surprisingly complex structures, and AI often struggles to accurately replicate them. Look for extra, oddly shaped, or misaligned fingers. They may also be positioned in an unusual way or have improper dimensions.
In the above image, the children’s hands and feet look unnatural, with misshapen fingers and toes as well as misaligned sandal straps.
AI has difficulty rendering small details, so you might also see objects and elements being subtly merged together in unnatural ways. These imperfections occur because AI relies on pattern recognition, which can fail when handling intricate or nuanced details.
So if you’re uncertain if a crowd photo is legitimate, take a look at the details. For example, background faces are often blurred or have soft, poorly defined characteristics.
In this AI-generated image, the man in the water has a blurry face and fingerless hands, while the young man on shore has a transparent leg that appears to merge into the background.
there are times where it sinks in, that i may never write the most beautiful poetry. that i may not write anything beautiful at all, that these things i consider lovely and worth immortalizing are just a blink of an eye to everyone else. there lies the fear that my life's work is barely a line in someone else's story, and that i will be forgotten.
but despite the fear, i am assured that while i never said anything beautiful, i too, have never said anything ugly. i'll go to my grave knowing that these lips have swallowed down all the unkind words instead of spitting them out. i'll lie in my casket at peace.
not one person in this world got cut by my tongue, and maybe, that's most beautiful i'll ever be.
