read alot of the horror stories.

I mostly use ai studio for novels and such, just realised I can't remove my card without giving another card.

Should i go to the bank and open a throwaway account with shillings just to avoid google from overcharging through the api?

While writing this, I think I should probably consider making a throwaway google account aswell.

Seems so cooked, doesn't help that google doesn't have a customer service team like every tech company because they don't need it.

Because people are reliant and need their product, and consumers don't understand how to enable best practices collectively.

TLDR: New dummy bank account to remove my debit card from the payment methods?

It might be because I was an opus addict for months. But for some reason, maybe it's the better integration with websearch, but gemini narratives are quite enjoyable for me.

anyone else have a similar experience considering claude is actively lobotomizing their product?

Hey.

New to silly tavern pretty much. As far as in depth settings go.

Saw this preset, seemed cool.

Just wondering as someone who doesn't know jack about hyper optimising sillytavern rp if there's any big things I should understand.

I sort of know about presets, and extensions (though I don't know any that are basically mandatory downloads).

I kind of know about prompt cacheing but am not totally sure if it affects total context in terms of narrative lore retention if I start setting it up.

Have no idea how important a regex is though I hear about it quite a bit.

TLDR: Noob tips to know as a new user that would take me months to realise on my own?
