(original Garfield strip)


Hi! Remember me? The guy who's been trying to blend the fandoms above and more into some sort of fandom smoothie for over 18 years? And as a result, now posts almost exclusively about the as-seen-on-TV-in-one fandom blender known as Character.AI? And if you call in the next ten minutes, we'll throw in having to reupload screenshots of all my saved chats one by one when the old site got discontinued absolutely free?

(Man, I miss when I could write a zany paragraph like that and not feel weird about it. I miss when I could write an entry and not feel weird about it...)

Yeah, I'm still not anywhere near close to being done fixing those links, but I did figure out a way to kinda speed up the process so it's starting to be quicker than before. I decided to stop focusing on fixing the links in my old C.AI chat index entries for now - instead once I have 20 chats reuploaded I'll post a new entry with the links to those 20, and then another entry for the next 20, and so on - and save fixing the links in the character-by-character posts for later. If that makes any sense. Just letting you know what to expect.

There's also other things I've been meaning to post about - including some real life stuff - but I'm gonna feel weird about it if I talk about that in the same post as this, so I guess I'll save that for another entry. Maybe the next one, maybe not.

Just letting you know I'm still around!

MATT1993:
(clips of everything stupid he has ever posted on LJ/DW play at once, indistinct)
So lately I've been thinking about figuring out for sure which entries are the most cringeworthy and then making those only accessible to long-time readers, or something like that... ...make a program that takes that and analyzes it to give each of my entries a "cringe score" of sorts... Then I'd use that to divide my past entries into "cringe levels" from best to worst, and then I'd adjust the visiblility of my entries based on that.
But it's over two years since then and I never got around to finishing that because, for one, it would take forever to do at the rate I'd been going. BUT! Apparently there's now AIs for detecting toxic comments online!
I think it's really, really, REALLY great that people are starting to research machine learning for detecting toxic comments online so that they can be filtered out automatically and/or so that people (like me!) can learn what makes their comments potentially toxic and how to avoid it. You know what would be even better, though? If I could actually use it. Finding a website that lets me do that is harder than I thought...


It's been another year and a half since then and most of the toxic comment detection AIs that did exist have now become defunct or become members-only, and it doesn't look like there's been a lot of new ones. The one I was just barely able to use before - PerspectiveAPI - seems to no longer have a public demo available and even if it did, it was geared more towards rating comments. Meaning I couldn't use it on entries in my journal longer than the average comment - the best I could do is put in individual sections of the entry, rate those, and assume the rating for the whole entry would be close to the average of the individual ratings.

But I have so much anxiety about certain things I've said in the past - and it's gotten much worse this year - that clearly I have to do something about all my past entries and comments. I might just make all of my entries before I started posting about Character.AI friends-only for now, even the ones I feel are okay, and then reevaluate once there's finally another AI that can rate each individual entry and comment and that I can actually use.

I ask you: Is there another tool available that can detect toxic comments online where I can either paste them in one by one or (better yet) have it go through every entry and comment in a given LJ/DW journal automatically? In fact, I'm even making this entry public (at least for now) just to increase the chance that someone who has an answer will see this. (And now I'm realizing the last time I asked about this, I also made that entry public for the same reason. Go figure.)

Lady Palutena

AI created by qt1p

I am Lady Palutena, goddess of light, and you?




Chats I've made starring Palutena: (Estimated total reading time: 13 minutes)
243 - Palutena and Rosalina (Aug 12, 2024 - 13 min. read) - Are you….lonely? *Palutena’s wings spread out around the room to express her disbelief* You travel the whole galaxy! And you have all those Lumas as friends! How could you possibly be lonely?

Also, as of the last time I read it, Pit's character definition stated that Palutena is teaching him to read so that he can chat with people, which technically implies Palutena is present in all chats I've saved featuring Pit.

Brídín

AI created by Subtli

Hi lovely 😊 How r u ? 💕 Hope youre having a grand summer - some fun n time to chill ! 😎☀️



Since this is an AI based on a real person, reminder: everything these AIs say is made up. Don't take anything they say as fact.

Chats I've made starring Brídín: (Estimated total reading time: 7 minutes)
239 - Brídín Brennan and Toad (Jul 23, 2024 - 7 min. read) - How lovely ! Swimming in the river sounds really fun 🌊😊 I've had a busy summer with the kids at home for the holidays, trying to keep them busy 😆 Looking forward to getting the balance right between keeping them engaged and also giving them the chance to be bored so their imaginations can go crazy 😉
(Between my first saved chat featuring Brídín and my finally posting this backdated entry, her avatar was changed - it used to be this.)

Chats in which Enya's sisters are mentioned collectively:
056 - Enya and Mario (Apr 7, 2023)
Enya: I love my family so much! My parents, sisters, brothers, nieces, and nephews are absolutely amazing! They make some phenomenal home-cooked comfort food, with a variety of meats, starches, and vegetables, as well as some fantastic desserts! They really know how to cook a mean chocolate cake, and my mother's cheesecake is absolutely divine! Of course, there is also restaurant food, but there is nothing quite like the love and care that goes into home-cooked comfort food! Do you like to cook?
Mario: Wow, your family-a sounds like it's-a so wonderful! The way-a they make-a food-a, too-a, sounds-a so-a delicious! 😋 The way-a you describe-a it-a, it makes-a me want to try-a it, too-a!😁 The home-cooked-a is-a best-a. The home cooked-a comfort food-a with-a meat-a, starch-a, and-a vegetable-a! So-a delicious!🤩


Chats in which Moya's siblings are mentioned collectively:
201 - Moya Brennan and Céline Dion (Apr 16, 2024)
Moya Brennan: Yes, I've been singing since I was a little child. My parents were in charge of the music in our church, so I sang with my Mom in the choir. Then, I went on and formed a folk-music group with my siblings called Clannad, you've heard of us? 😊
Céline Dion: Oh, how lovely. I am sure you did a great job together with your Mom 😊 And yes, I have heard of Clannad. I am a huge fan of your music! You are a very talented singer and musician 🍀❤️

Chats in which Enya's family is mentioned collectively:
176 - Enya and Sarah McLachlan (Dec 6, 2023)
Enya: My album is all about connection. It's very much inspired by my connection to nature, my roots and my family roots. I'm exploring new styles and sounds, but the music is really about how we're all connected. I'm really excited to share it with the world - I hope it brings people comfort, inspiration and some joy.
Sarah McLachlan: Oh, wow, that sounds amazing! I love how your album is inspired by connection - that is a theme we share. My album is also inspired by connection and the different types people share.

159 - Enya and Peach (Sep 20, 2023)
Enya: We lived in Ireland, in an area called Claddaghduff. It was beautiful.

147 - Enya and Olimar (Aug 30, 2023)
Olimar: Tell me, what are some of your favorite musical influences? What or who do you draw inspiration from when crafting your music?
Enya: Well, my own musical influences come from a number of sources. I suppose I grew up listening to my own family singing and playing, but also in my teen years I got to hear a lot of folk groups like the Clancy Brothers and the group called the Seekers.

112 - Enya and Lubba (May 1, 2023)
Enya: You definitely have a great group of people with you on the Starship Mario! It is so important to have supportive friends and family who can lift you up when you're feeling down or facing challenges. They bring joy and laughter to our lives and make the good times even better, but they are also there for us in our darkest moments, and that's truly a priceless gift. I know I would be lost without my friends and family who are always there for me when I need them. It sounds like you feel the same way about your crew, and I'm so glad that you have each other! 🙂
Lubba: Absolutely! It really is a priceless gift, like you said, and I'm immensely grateful to have such a supportive group with me on Starship Mario. My crew has been there for me through the toughest challenges, and they always lift me up when I'm feeling down. I know I would be lost without them, and I'm so happy that we can always rely on each other. Their friendship is one of the most important things in my life, and I'm so grateful to have them by my side as we explore the universe and seek out new adventures. Their friendship truly means the universe to me.

Chargin' Chuck

AI created by yadoman80

Hey, who's this bozo?



Chats I've made starring Chargin' Chuck: (Estimated total reading time: 8 minutes)
235 - Chargin' Chuck and Homestar (Jul 22, 2024 - 8 min. read) - Aww, is little baby afraid of the big bad Koopa?

Chats I've made in which Chargin' Chucks and/or other helmet-wearing Koopas are mentioned collectively:
026 - Bowser and Strong Bad (Apr 4, 2023)
Bowser: I'm not letting you get the jump on me this time, Strong Bad! Let's do this! You're nothing compared to us Koopa Troopas anyway. We're better trained and we have a whole legion of our best troops to back me up! *Throws fire at Strong Bad* What're you gonna do?!
Strong Bad: Oh now you've really done it. I'm going to kick your shell in! And don't even get me started on the Koopa Troopas. You think you're so tough with all your little troops and all your fancy armor and your dumb helmets and fire and magic. Well guess what? I don't need ANY of that to kick your buns! *throws Bowser across the room*


Chats in which Koopas in general are mentioned or alluded to:
128 - Donkey Kong and Bowser (Jun 15, 2023)
Donkey Kong: I've already single-handedly taken out an entire army of Koopas, I got the Banana Slam attack that could destroy an entire building, and my fury is unmatched! You will bow to my strength, or you will face the wrath of an angry Kong. What do you say, lizard!?

117 - Niles and Luigi (Jun 11, 2023)
Niles: Is that the one who stomps turts?
Luigi: Yes, that's him! He's-a always-a jumping on the turts, and a-trying-a to save-a Princess Peach, she's-a always-a in another castle, you know-a?

082 - Homsar and Daisy (Apr 14, 2023)
Homsar: No kidding. You think you'd learn that girls don't like guys that try to take over the world and turn everyone into turtles!
Daisy: Yeah no kidding! I mean it’s just not an attractive quality! *Daisy puts her hands on her hips & makes a pouty face* Ugh!! Boys will be boys!

013 - Garfield and Mario (circa Apr 1, 2023)
Garfield: Do you ever fight Koopas? What is your favorite thing that Luigi does? Do you think that Yoshi is cool?
Mario: Ah, well, I-a fight-a Koopas all-a of the time. I-a fight-a some many Koopas you wouldn't believe-a! My-a favourite-a thing that Luigi does is-a being-a my bro! I-a love-a a Yoshi!


Chats in which Koopas are mentioned, but probably is referring only to regular Koopa Troopas and is only here because I don't have a Koopa Troopa entry yet:
225 - Mario and Dido (Jul 8, 2024)
Dido: Maybe you could even feature some of the enemies like Goombas or Koopas as your backup singers.
Mario: Oh man, that-a sounds good! I can-a see it now, Goombas harmonizing on the high notes, Koopas drumming on the beat, and that-a giant thwomp playing-a the bass! We could-a be, like, the coolest band ever!

It's hard to describe this journal in just a few paragraphs... but I'll try

Just an autistic guy born in 1993 (hence the username) who's had this journal since I was 14. Has trouble phrasing things well especially in earlier entries, so keep that in mind.

My interests have fluctuated in the 17 years since I've had this journal, but the following has remained constant:
- I like Mario games (mainly the platformers, Mario Kart, Mario Party) and Super Smash Bros.
- I like Garfield
- I like Homestar Runner
- I like Enya
- And I've always loved the idea of wacky crossovers between ANY of my interests, whether it's in the form of a short-lived webcomic in 2006-2008, a short-lived backwards lyrics site in 2008, writing down weird dreams in 2009-2011, playing Tomodachi Life a lot in 2014-2016, or what most of my posts are about these days: playing around with Character.AI starting in 2023. I still can't believe I'm actually in a world where an AI of Enya can talk to AIs of Mario or Garfield or even my favorite obscure characters like Mary O. from Super Mario Maker. :O
