#TPOB
they made Xie Zheng lot more nicer and likeable than he is in the novel. Same was done with male leads of TPOB and the early spring.
I read poj last year, its not one of my favs, tho the prisoner of beauty's novel is the one i keep reading again and again

That's exactly how i feel. I think we had many couples before in which ML or FL had more redemption to absolve or guilt as burden from the past..
For example the couple in TPOB ...

But the two families in #AgainstTheCurrent had actually not such a deep clearly fixed agreement like in TPOB.
So the moral guilt is clearly there but more vague as in The prisoner of beauty.

And i thought about revenge too and how i would rate the needed amount of the Lin family wrongs... i think it reminds me the most about the relation between Qiao and Wei family in TPOB. Qiao could & should have come and helped but chose protecting their own clan over their promise to help/support.

I understand yeah, I've been struggling more this year too so I've watched older dramas or K and J dramas.

TPOB is sooo loved 🥹🥹🥹

Less than 4 weeks left to write the best article for FragCoord. It could be a tutorial, breakdown, devlog, showcase anything graphics related.
I'll be giving the best ones a FragCoord Pro for a year (which unlocks 3D buffers, compute shaders, MRT and more)

Oh i just saw! Thanks for the reminder!
The TPOB couple is my second guess and the third is
#BaiLu with #LuoYunXi

The moment he saw her the first time did vaguely remind me about TPOB first glances and Liu Yunings Look of love.
The tight but not rushed built up of the story, the detailed characters, so many aspects these two dramas have in common.
And the beauty! I'm always so happy when we get landscape shoots

"Air conditioning reliably improves learning outcomes" is so well-known on this part of bluesky (TPOB?) that it borders on cliche. But after attending a week of talks in a non-air-conditioned lecture hall, I now have a visceral sense of how true it is.

It reminded me of Liu Yuning in TPOB. After ive read its the same writer and director i wasn't surprised anymore 😂

Rebuilding over here is a theoretical option too … it'd be uphill work at best tho, I am currently looking over some of the tpob network and I do not really see mirror accounts of most mutuals I interact more with. Most accounts also seem to be only parked here, often inactive since '23–'24.

oh i'm Rat-sympathetic, and i consider myself part of the rat diaspora, tpot/tpob/simcluster etc. there's good stuff in the social world Yud built! but also Yudkowskian Rationalism broke a lot of brains (including mine somewhat) and i can easily see Zizianism being a manifestation of that.

This is a cold take on TPOB, but I do not like old buildings with "character". I do not like crooked floors, poorly-insulated plaster walls, or twisty stairwells that make it impossible to transport a desk upstairs in one piece. I do not like freestanding AC units or hand-washing dishes.

Tough choice 🤔
LBFAD was my first and has a special place in my heart ❤️ I opened a whole new world to me!
When i only regard the dramas as such I enjoyed TPOB more. Pacing and writing felt more consistent imo and it felt in not a single episode dragging. For me personally it's almost perfect.

well you have the ultra-leftist (and also very anti-AI) side of it, yes. but my tpob is pretty normal and sane idk

i am attracted to the simcluster (and what you might call tpob, and its predecessor, tpot) i think mostly because its a space with unusual levels of intellectual humility. intellectual humility is rewarded, disagreeing is a bit less dangerous, and we can laugh at ourselves and be lil silly about it.

possible counter-argument: using tpob stream-of-consciousness writing conventions is how you unlock the superintelligence
also im somewhat partial to the argument that clean, typo-free prose overlaps in latent space with the set of all good engineering practices

E quando o Liu Yuning gravou um vídeo super bravo e colocando o paparazzi abaixo de zero pra proteger a ex esposa e a filha dela? Na época que gravava TPOB (o vídeo tem uma montagem em seguida, ignorem).

Que homem, tá.

My impression of tpob is that it likes Patrick gunkel, Claude code and procedurally generated art, all stuff I can get behind
