      (In a non-PVP game)

      Combat stats are restricted but social stats can be maxed out no problem.

        @catzilla You’ve just gotta get better at looksmaxxing.

        This is apparently a real term.

            @catzilla I’m going to ignore the anti-pvp rules and roll initiative if you pull that face at me.

                    @ten You can pry my em-dashes from my cold, dead hands. I’ve been (over)using them longer than LLMs have been in existence!

                        some of my poses might contain more em-dashes than actual sentences so this all feels like a personal attack

                          I’m in this picture; as a semi-colon user, I can empathize.

                          (SEE HOW I DID THAT?)

                            @ten You can tell my em dashes are legit because I always use them — incorrectly.

                              My em-dashes, my semicolons, and my words of more than three syllables. Ain’t giving them up in order to write ‘less like AI’. LLMs are mimicking me, not the other way around.

                                Wait, is this a thing? Oh, fuck AI. That’s how to give sentences flavor! Nuh uh. A million percent not changing.

                                a man sitting in front of a computer with the words 'Why should I change? He's the one who sucks.'

                                  I’ve had to turn the auto-convert feature off in Word for when I do my – (that is two hyphens, often converted to a dash of some kind, be it en or em. I never learned the difference.) because it was getting pulled up by the anti-AI checker on my submitted work and it’s easier to just… not deal with that.

                                    Em Dash (—):

                                    Roughly the width of a capital letter M. It’s used to create a break in a sentence, similar to how you’d use parentheses or colons.

                                    En Dash (–):

                                    Roughly the width of a capital letter N. It’s used to connect two words or show a range of numbers.

                                    That’s literally it.

                                      oh my god i have literally never known why they were called Em and En, this is mind-blowing. and will ACTUALLY be helpful in remembering which is which

                                          This is why I have this much >< (it’s zero) faith in anything “AI” at this juncture, including detection methods. If an en-/em-dash user is getting flagged for actually using them correctly, then I don’t know what else to tell you other than look at this GIF to illustrate my point:

                                            @Aria I’m going to just go with my usual standard of randomly throwing a dash of some kind in and hoping Grammarly doesn’t yell at me.
