I don't have a guitar

That side wheel is a terrible design.

fun fact it came with procedural buildings generator

I learned today that Farmville wasn't the first in its genre. It released in 2009, but the game it was inspired by was Happy Farm from China, released in 2008.

#

A bit of real-world trivia found in the midst of page 15,560 out of 17,300.

errant raven
#

I wish I still had my box of fire crackers. I atleast have 2 roman candles to play with irresponsibly

proud jay
#

put some meth in them and give it to your new roommate

summer cedar
#

Lost in translation, from south India. 🙂

proud jay
#

well

#

you know what to do

celest musk
#

was anyone able to claim the free of the month stuff?

#

hCaptcha is really trolling hard

#

also great place to put the checkout button

#

accidently removed an item from my wishlist

proud jay
#

rip

#

how do you fail captcha though

celest musk
#

and i have no idea what it was

proud jay
#

if you really wanted it, you will remember

#

(but not really)

celest musk
proud jay
#

then how is the captcha trolling

celest musk
#

unless i'm doing it wrong

#

but i'm pretty sure that it wants me to select the fricking parrot

cursive crypt
cursive crypt
proud jay
#

clearly there are 6 parrots in that picture

cursive crypt
#

It looks like a AI point cloud -> 3d modeler training btw 🤔

celest musk
#

i'm pretty sure epic could, if they wanted to, avoid the captcha for some users...

#

e.g.: my account is linked to a github account and i've spent real money on the store

#

that should be sufficient to know that it's not a bot account

proud jay
#

what's the point of the captcha anyway

cursive crypt
#

They need someone to train their AI models. It is not whether you are bot or not.

celest musk
#

no real error, other than

Failed to challenge captcha, please try again later.

pearl elk
proud jay
#

we should just fill in every captcha wrong every time

#

and hope you're not in the control group

celest musk
#

this month free stuff is meh anyways

#

must be like the 3rd NPC optimizer they have in free for the month

cursive crypt
#

Give NPCs, I will optimize them myself.

errant raven
proud jay
#

ask her

errant raven
#

I'll just use borox and lie that it is

summer cedar
#

Have you been getting this weird situation where a channel says that there's a new post, but when you go there, there's absolutely nothing that's changed since the last time you visited? The #generative-ai was highlighted for me - indicating a new post - but when I went there, it was exactly the same as before. If someone makes a post and deletes it, does the channel still get highlighted?

celest musk
#

that happens when someone posts spam there which gets deleted

empty dune
#

i bought an asset and an example bp for using it had this lol

summer cedar
#

@celest musk @proud jay Ah, thank you. That explains it. 🙂

oh boy, if you wanted to peel your skin just use a peeler

proud jay
#

It’s not peeling at all lol

#

Was using the dunlop tortex 0.88mm before

#

Which is bigger

#

I use a 0.58 harley benton for strumming

#

Hard picks are shit for strumming

empty dune
#

now you know why i used 0.33 lol

unborn lotus
#

When u learning dust in the wind?

proud jay
#

idk how that works

#

but I'm learning guitar first

unborn lotus
#

Fingerstyle!

proud jay
#

I still play so much easier with my thumb than with a pick

unborn lotus
#

I have a friend that could put out a cigarette on his calloused playing fingers

lofty lark
#

I got no idea what thickness any of my picks are. I just hate thin flimsy ones.

#

SHAME on you for keeping your bass in the closet

lofty lark
#

I geniunely dont remember the last time I restrung it

#

Its easily been atleast 7 years

river sable
#

poor bass

#

tbf bass strings kind of get better with time 😄

#

if you're into a dampened sound that is

tulip orbit
#

I havent played any of my guitars for a few years 😦

river sable
#

I don't play nearly as much as I used to either

lofty lark
#

Ibanez RGEW, First Act 222, Squire P-Bass(?), Fender somethin, oh Yamaha YPG-235. Amp is a Vox VT20X iirc

river sable
#

my amp broke and now it's just a glorified table for watterbottles

proud jay
#

I wanna buy a bass

#

But maybe wait for guitar first lol

#

And then buy 4 more guitars

lofty lark
#

Then develop an interest in folk/traditional instruments too and use your woodworking skills to make some yourself

proud jay
#

I’m gonna put my drums up again when my house is built

lofty lark
#

You played drums? :O

soft night
#

ponkkis the streets of Imatra got filled with bikes soon

tulip orbit
#

I've also never even seen one in person, and I've heard they're really hard to make

lofty lark
#

When I build one, I'll build an extra and send it to you kek2

tulip orbit
#

yay!

lofty lark
#

I seriously plan to make one at some point though

tulip orbit
#

hope so!

@fleet tangle

#

Let's continue our conversation here

tulip orbit
lofty lark
# tulip orbit hope so!

I have some schematics I found online saved on my PC. It's just a matter of time tbh. My dad's garage/workshop is a bit of a mess atm and I want to make a couple other instruments first

#

Talharpa being the first one I wanna make

#

It would give my dad and I something to do together 🙂

tulip orbit
#

oh neat, had to google that one. Doesnt look to hard to make

#

I made the skull-shaped one in the pic I posted. Was going to try making an acoustic guitar next as more practice

lofty lark
#

Yes! I have to work up to a Hurdy Gurdy because goodness they are complex. So Talharpa then Nyckleharpa then Hurdy Gurdy is the planned "steps"

lofty lark
tulip orbit
#

yeah it was 😄

#

I made a lot of mistakes, and its not actually playable cause I put the wrong bridge for the body on it, and didnt sand the nut down enough, might be playable as a slide guitar tho

#

I dont think I could play the nickleharpa.... I tried the violin and it sounded horrrible

lofty lark
#

I've been on the fence of renting a violin/taking lessons for, well, over 2 years now

tulip orbit
#

I dont think the one I bought was very expensive... especially compared to some of my guitars

errant raven
#

AAHH

#

@timber viper I called FMA bad in a chat full of FMA fans and lived to tell the tale

#

This kitten is an asshole, I feel like everything it does is intentional

proud jay
#

since when do you have a kitten?

#

did the meth lady bring it?

errant raven
#

No, it's the one I posted in petting zoo

#

My oldest cats kitten grew up and had babies and finally brought them out to see me, this one stuck around. The other wanted back outside so I let it

Nah, the flavor would be too sneaky

#

My cigarettes keep disappearing. I keep putting one on my nightstand and I go back for it and it's just gone

#

I've been beside it the whole time too, and it's just gone

#

Kitten disappears under my bed for a while too... raising him right

You're telling us that your kittens.... are smoking?

Is this the beginning of..... the cat MAFIA?

#

i just pulled a gigantic string out of my dog's ass. and by gigantic i mean the length

#

wtf

cursive crypt
#

parasite?

empty dune
#

its from the rolls of knitting strings in our house

celest musk
#

are you sure that was a "string"?

#

so he ate some

empty dune
cursive crypt
#

lol

empty dune
#

i thought of a parasite at first too

#

so i checked

#

it was just a string

celest musk
#

you gonna use it to make a scarf for the dog?

empty dune
#

i threw it out lmao, i washed it to check if it was a parasite lol

celest musk
#

our dog used to snatch rocher chocolate

#

so he pooped golden tin foil

#

@empty dune I am going to force my computer to install Windows 11, bypassing the stupid CPU check, because I have TPM 2 and all the other blah blah.

If I never return, forget me quickly. 😛

proud jay
#

why do you want win11 that bad?

summer cedar
#

no particular reason.

celest musk
#

TIL that gnome also supports it

soft night
#

the city sstreets get the racing weekend vibes

celest musk
proud jay
#

win11?

celest musk
#

app groups

proud jay
#

oh

#

I never got that

soft night
#

tiles groups was the best

proud jay
#

I never ever open a program by clicking on it

#

except things pinned to the taskbar

celest musk
#

yea, that's also my primary way

#

but some shit i don't want there

proud jay
#

well me neither

#

but I just press windows key and start typing the name

#

easy done

errant raven
celest musk
#

yea that works here, too. but i never really got used to it

#

because main stuff is on the quick launch bar

errant raven
#

I thought double clicking and accidentally opening 2-5 instances of the app was the only way

celest musk
#

other things i open like once a month

proud jay
#

tbh a lot of times even things pinned to taskbar I just open by typing instead

errant raven
#

Steam allows hotkeys to launch apps

proud jay
#

happy for steam

#

why would I want a hotkey for any steam app

errant raven
#

Idk, never use it either

empty dune
#

Okay that's a seriously good decision

am almost writing outlines for quests for the game

#

I opened the project up a few days before

#

it was UGLY

chrome gull
empty dune
chrome gull
#

at least it'll be faster this time

I actually like looking at it now xD

chrome gull
#

I didn't remember my project being so awful

empty dune
chrome gull
#

code is a mess, game feel is a mess, goddamn

chrome gull
empty dune
#

Honestly, yeah. Itd be a nightmare trying to sort out of in the state i last saw it

chrome gull
#

fair enough

empty dune
#

I myself just finished rewriting a bunch of modules for my project like a week ago

#

The building system was completely fucked

#

I was well into technical debt and the collectors were coming

#

FAST

chrome gull
#

so that's months worth of stuff needed to be changed?

empty dune
#

Yeah

#

Like

#

5 months of work minimum

#

Anyway, i think this time I'm on the proper track

#

Though i still haven't solved the boxfill issue

proud jay
#

chrome gull

proud jay
# celest musk 2-4 days or smth

when I ordered it said 5-8 weeks I think, then last week it said within a week, while my order said 2-3 weeks, and then this morning it said 2-5 days, and just now it said in stock

I wish I could buy all the Fallout merch I wanted to buy lol

#

#

Your college might have one actually

#

Ours did

chrome gull
#

I'll pass lol

#

wait there used to be so much cool shit on the website

#

wth happened to it all

median wraith
#

there comes they will rise the tax for imported asian cars to Europe by 33%

#

mean that they finally adjust the prices 😉

unreal ether
#

I still think the coolest bit of merch I've seen was Destiny's Nerf Gjallahorn lmao

#

The price tag on the other hand

#

Not so cool

chrome gull
#

merch is meant for the hardcore-est of farms anyway

#

no way a sane person is going to spend so much money on... clothes and toys

proud jay
proud jay
#

oh wait

#

thought that was rain saying that lol

#

idk what your job is

summer cedar
#

🤣 Cannot keep apps and settings because the system language is different from the installation ISO's.

#

Ok.

#

Re-downloaded. Burning it again. 😄

#

At least the check bypass works, so far.

Like 50-60%++

proud jay
summer cedar
#

No, USB with Rufus.

proud jay
#

ah ok

#

was about to declare you insane

summer cedar
#

Wait until I use punch cards.

proud jay
#

it changed back to in stock in 2-5 days

#

wth is this disappointment

#

why they playin me like this

summer cedar
#

You prefer the guitar over programming.

#

The code is taking revenge.

#

Beg the code for forgiveness.

proud jay
#

bro what

#

now it's in stock again

#

wth is going on

summer cedar
#

Yep. The code is playing you.

#

You must embrace programming again and slyly practise the guitar.

proud jay
#

wtf

summer cedar
#

Or plough through the deceit.

proud jay
#

why do they hate me like this

summer cedar
#

This is a question many have asked.

#

Yet, few have answered.

empty dune
proud jay
#

but money is nice

empty dune
#

yes but sanity is nicer

proud jay
# empty dune hopefully

ok don't get your hopes up, universe trying to give me a heart attack by putting it back out of stock and then back in stock

summer cedar

Dieter, didn't you tell me Rain is loaded?

#

if i was loaded id have hired a goddamn artist

summer cedar
#

Just tell AI and sell the result as avante-garde.

#

Even if the planet looks like a toilet bowl.

#

🚽

empty dune
#

no, thats the "emergency ration" option

#

only if im fucking desperate

#

and im not fucking desperate

summer cedar
#

😄

empty dune
# proud jay I can only suspect

jokes aside, if you are wondering how i can sustain this, the answer is fallback skills, saved up money and minisicule living costs compared to earning in dollars

summer cedar
empty dune
#

we can sustain game dev as actual careers given a seed fund

proud jay
empty dune
#

unlike any EU nations

summer cedar
proud jay
#

I should move to india and live like a king

#

I can shit in the streets in exchange for that

summer cedar

#

oh wait thats murica

summer cedar
#

Also, you'd get beaten by the police with wood and steel sticks for doing that 😆

empty dune
proud jay
#

murica bad

#

I've already settled in belgium though so too late

empty dune
#

also you already work in game dev

proud jay
#

guess I'll just have to stare at women in public when visiting india instead of living there

proud jay
empty dune
#

well, part of your studio does game dev

summer cedar
empty dune
#

good enough for me

summer cedar
#

Seems you have some interesting characters over there, too.

proud jay

I don't work in anything related to games anymore

summer cedar
#

He has money, though.

#

That gives you authority.

unborn lotus
#

doubt. He doesnt even have a house

summer cedar

🤔 He was in here a while back telling us about the thermostat.

#

I doubt it was a homeless thermostat.

but people change jobs sometimes

i didnt know you were talking about a previous job

proud jay
summer cedar
proud jay
#

the house we're building will be 75% of my wife, who of course has received generous help from parents

empty dune
#

and im apparently the one who's loaded smh

proud jay
#

I could never pay for half of it without crippling myself

#

it's gonna be like 600-700k house

#

well I could eventually pay for half

#

but why would I if my wife has the funds lol

summer cedar
#

sounds like a good family you got there.

#

Good, good.

proud jay
#

I prefer owning 25% and not have to worry about money

proud jay
#

also on non money things btw

summer cedar
#

You keeps the blessings you gets.

empty dune
#

so, dieter

#

you said you wanted children?

#

how do you fancy the concept of adopting a 28 yo?

proud jay
#

I'm not adopting

#

yet

summer cedar
#

🤣

proud jay
#

maybe we'll adopt if it turns out we can't have children of our own

#

but I doubt a 28 year old falls in our desires

summer cedar
#

Rain, you realise our politicians are probably a whole lot richer than he could ever be, and that's not even the reputed ones.

empty dune
empty dune
summer cedar
#

They wouldn't mind. They have the cash to burn.

#

And probably build a tower of babylon for fun.

proud jay
#

we just paid 7 million euros to politicians because they didn't get reelected

#

for some dumb ass exit fee

#

that of course the politicians made up for themselves

summer cedar
unborn lotus
#

Im convinced 99% of politicians only get into politics for personal gain

proud jay
#

well I think most of them get into it honestly

empty dune
#

the other 1% get into it for malicious gains

proud jay
#

just by the time they get to higher levels it converted to personal gain

empty dune
#

power goes to people's heads

Exhibit A: most discord mods

Exhibit B: all reddit mods

proud jay
#

yeah, BM is a real piece of shit since he's been orange

#

/s

empty dune
#

@summer cedar pick one, burger, pizza, shwarma, tacos

proud jay
#

pizza gang

empty dune
#

okay, thats 1 vote for pizza

proud jay
#

I'm just keeping the guitar page open so it remains in stock

#

last time it went out of stock when I closed it

#

I hope it's not busted up by the time it gets to my house

#

I heard they sometimes have some QC issues

empty dune
#

pizza ordered

proud jay
#

nice

#

which one did you get

empty dune
#

something called texas bbq chicken pizza

#

probably some fancy branding name

proud jay
#

oh

#

sounds nice

#

I love bbq pizzas

#

I mostly get their bacon variant though

#

bbq bacon is my default pizza order

empty dune
#

@proud jay dude the latest boys show episode was....................something else

#

you gotta watch it man

#

its so fucking funny

#

fuck even my therapist has watched that episode lmao

summer cedar
#

@empty dune @trail ore I was able to upgrade my Win 10 directly to Win 11, keeping all my apps and settings. 😄

#

I am back, sadly or otherwise. 😄

#

Also, the installation was just plain weird. The installer checked my system space and checked for updates TWICE, for no reason whatosever. Same screen, same prompts, everything.

#

Then, while installing, it said the system will restart several times. It didn't restart even once.

#

After it was all over, it restarted to install updates and possibly service packs.

#

And some twat on reddit said Win 11 will be 'slow' on old processors. Bull. It's working just fine.

mild gust
#

Because you can believe everything on reddit

why are there discord quests now wtf

#

interesting

#

is she single?

#

does she make bread?

empty dune
#

Why does everyone ask me this wtf

#

She's married

#

Also, she's my therapist

proud jay
#

makes it extra kinky

proud jay
#

isn't it kinda random that she texts you about the boys though

#

or is it relevant to your therapy

empty dune
#

Neither lol, she's just a fan of the boys and we're as close as you can get to being friends with someone who you pay to complain to lol

brittle holly

sounds unprofessional

#

but who am I to judge

celest musk

proud jay

#

Please, i dont need the drama deluxe special package in my life

brittle holly
#

that's silly. you could've used the friend to get the therapist jealous

empty dune
#

All of you need therapy

celest musk
#

i would highly advice against dating a therapist

proud jay
#

I would advise against dating the rapist

celest musk
#

first of all, they will judge you every moment on a different level

brittle holly
celest musk
#

2nd, they are full of the trash that other people tell them

brittle holly
#

the 2nd therapist is a means to an end to getting 2x therapists bagged...wait now hear me out

empty dune
#

No

celest musk
#

yes, keep going

empty dune
#

Goddamnit

brittle holly
#

this would provide a significant ego boost for raindust, wherein he would gain more confidence, and stop fearing the world

#

then no need for therapy anymore, mission accomplished

empty dune
#

All of your therapists need therapy

proud jay
#

so what you do in therapy

brittle holly
#

I mean I just gave you the answer to all your problems

#

so that'll be $100, please 😄

proud jay
#

is therapy just for people who are afraid of talking to people they don't pay and don't have the mental capacity to deal with their own life

empty dune
#

100$ per minute, wow that's like idk tv persona level payout

Im sure my clinically diagnosed ptsd will just magically go away if i just "deal with it"

brittle holly
#

I'm sure therapy helps some people. For me, I just can't justify paying a stranger to tell me what I already know

proud jay
#

well it doesn't magically go away with therapy either

brittle holly
proud jay
#

you're dealing with it, just with someone else to support you

Serves you right for upgrading her memory, Blue Man.

It was better when she couldn't remember.

Ah, what's next on my agenda? Yes, renewing my passport.

brittle holly

@broken sigil what happened

#

are you ok?

proud jay
#

oh, I got a mail for guitar learning site license that was included with the guitar, which they normally send upon shipping 🤔

summer cedar
#

He gave her access to her hidden memories.

proud jay
#

no shipping email yet though

summer cedar
#

She learnt that she didn't like him.

#

So, she rejected him.

oh

Don't blame Eren for your shyness.

Blame both yourself AND him.

AND, they went even further. They designed a new thingamajig called the Oculink - I assume they stole it from the Americans, who stole it from the Germans, who probably stole it from an AI or something.

proud jay
#

this was a warning

broken sigil
summer cedar
#

The Oculink apparently increases transfer rates to near 100 Gbps or something like that (don't quote me; it was a 100 something) and that's faster than Thunderbolt 3 by 100-150%.

It connects to your M.2 interface. Fun shit. AND it's cheap. BOTH the card and the cable.

does she hate me?

summer cedar
# celest musk which is a thing afaik

Probably. It's still a bit gimped, but the loss of performance is around 10% only compared to a direct insertion. AND, did I mention it's cheap? 😄

broken sigil

quickly send her all my messages I ever typed in this server

celest musk

it's only 121320 messages

121323 now

summer cedar

I am just happy it's very, very cheap.

celest musk

thats a clock chip :>

brittle holly

#

The best part is, unless my CPU and display die completely, I won't have to upgrade the entire system for another couple of years or more.

proud jay
summer cedar
#

AND if the cheap eGPU doesn't work, I'll still have a nice new, shiny GPU for my new desktop rig. I'll lose a $150 or so being a guinea pig, but that's okay. 😄

proud jay

what gpu you got

broken sigil

there ain't a single positive thing in that profile lol

It has 16GB of RAM, so I should be fine for a while.

or she just likes to imagine fictitious people naked

no shes part of those communities. has been since before I met her

I sometimes help with stupid fan fic because it makes her laugh 🙂

God if i never have to hear the words dark academia ever again I'll die a happy man

fathom wadi

I keep telling her to get into game narrative writing. She doesn't just write fan fiction. She's written a whole IP of her own like a Stephen King-esque style where everyone links up with everyone in some way. But she's raising our kids, keeping the house, homeschooling and needs time to game because shes a hardcore gamer. Barely has time to do everything.

empty dune
#

And she STILL finds time to write fan fiction😂

fathom wadi
#

she barely sleeps. Gets by on 4 hours

empty dune
#

But yeah, get her into game dev if you can lol

brittle holly
#

or make the game for her

#

ez, rite?

fathom wadi
#

At some point I'm going to write a framework for a Life is Strange style game and do a bunch of narrative games. Then put her on the books of the business as a narrative writer. Takes some of the time pressure of her.

fathom wadi
#

I have to earn some money to pay her first tho. Cant put her on the books for free. Looks odd.

empty dune
#

Didn't you list the company under her name? Just give the game rights to her

proud jay
fathom wadi
#

no its my name on the company. I could put her as the secretary of the company but we would lose some of our social security and can't do that at this time.

empty dune
#

Idk why dieter dislikes game dev so much but its funny

proud jay
#

its don't?

#

I don't dislike gamedev

#

gamedevs are just exploited

celest musk
#

it's not funny

#

idk what's funny about it, it's a major pita compared to normal software dev

empty dune

That is true

fathom wadi
#

yeah but its more fun

proud jay

not really imo

fathom wadi

I might be tempted to move into python and AI agent development at some point but only as a hobby. But I don't think I could go back to regular coding stuff. Depends what it is tho I guess.

celest musk
#

AS A HOBBY??

fathom wadi
#

yeah im 48. it's a young coders game

celest musk
#

i wouldn't even consider python when getting paid

empty dune
#

Oh nice, its ben's turn to lose his mind kek

proud jay
#

I wouldn't consider python for anything that's more than a shit helper script that you're gonna throw away right after you use it

fathom wadi
#

dont get me wrong, I hate python as much as the next guy. But necessity forces it right now.

proud jay
#

just don't do ai crap?

fathom wadi
#

thats the thing. the ai crap interests me

#

https://chatgpt.com/gpts I mean just look at all the extras for chatGPT alone. And this is just the beginning.

I have to fiddle with a little bit of python occasionally, when using Fooocus.

a keyboard with midi interface

celest musk
#

so you plug it into the joystick connector of your soundblaster16

#

and you get the notes that you play on the keyboard on your pc

#

guess nowadays those are all USB? :>

median wraith
#

yes usb this days

proud jay
#

which you can use in a DAW

#

or just convert them straight to sound

celest musk
#

some have buildin speakers, some don't

#

e.g. most of those big casio keyboards also have a midi interface, so you can use them standalone or on a PC

fathom wadi
#
proud jay
#

I have an 88 key one too

#

but I wish it had built in speaker now 😭

celest musk
#

isn't there any kind of device which does that?

#

like a speaker with midi interface?

#

or is the midi over usb stuff brand specific?

#

i bet they all have their own stupid driver which does it?!

proud jay
#

I think it would work

#

but I also think just buying another keyboard secondhand would be cheaper lol

celest musk
#

so, a raspberry pi with some speaker should do?!

fathom wadi
#

not gonna lie I do wish they had speakers in to play some pre-loaded midi banks or VST or whatever, but I only ever play it at my pc anyway and you could just plug it into a laptop
