X · Oct 21, 2025, 8:48 AM

seems like everyone have nice presidents

[proud jay]

this is an older one though

like 2007-2012

[median wraith]

yeah is the prior to the actual one

[proud jay]

there was one in between

francois hollande

[median wraith]

nobody remembers that one

maybe was more decent then

[proud jay]

clearly you don't

he was just too normal

and times were good

[median wraith]

yeah that's the problem this days, normal things aren't spot

there you got all the social media as example

[proud jay]

let's be honest, no one remembers any of spain's prime ministers

people even forget spain has a king

they just go their for sunny holiday and ignore the country the rest of the year

[median wraith]

I mean nobody knows where is even spain

lol

1>EXEC : error : Couldn't find parent type for 'rainGameplayRocket' named 'Train' in current module (Package: /Script/PurpleParkour) or any other module parsed so far.

Wish the compiler were more specific tbh

[proud jay]

how would it be more specific

it's telling you it's not finding it

so clearly it doesn't know where it is

also, why is rainGameplayRocket starting with a lower case

and why is a rocket inheriting from a train

[median wraith]

seems like the copy paste files and the renaiming went wrong for that file

well it was the name of one class, could point the fooking file lol

was the header class name issue only, the name of the file were correct

why is your texture like 64x64 though

the mirror looks so high quality compared to the rest

probably cause it's solid color

so not having compression artefacts

hhah that's right

[proud jay]

what is that car, like 180 polys?

[median wraith]

More than the whole pokemon city maybe

@median wraith why you ignoring me

are you eating your birthday cake

[soft night]

https://tenor.com/view/chihuahua-dog-puppy-pet-animal-gif-25894317

[median wraith]

Eating

Idk must be per year yeah

A tax for trash

Yep

For the trash the collect from street

[proud jay]

why is that not coming from your normal taxes

and why is it so high

I think here we pay 2 euros per pickup and then something on top per kg of trash

[median wraith]

Why pay taxes plus then each individual thing again, and streets aren't burning

[proud jay]

would have to have a lot of trash to get to 450 though

[median wraith]

Aren't burning because we are paying 2m people that don't do anything a fixed pay of 700€

[proud jay]

see

I wonder why you're still self employed

now you make 0 euros and have to pay 300

[median wraith]

Yeah that's what a person asked me once

[proud jay]

if you stop doing anything you get 700

that's 1k difference

[median wraith]

Self employed don't get those helps plus we have to pay 250€ min per month

For 0 income

[median wraith]

Yeah if you get a minimum is different

Worst part is people don't get more than 1500€ clear per month

In general*

Meanwhile minimum is 1200€ but before taxes

[proud jay]

by clear you mean net?

[median wraith]

After taxes

[proud jay]

so net

[soft night]

all the taxes for hev tax

[median wraith]

Yep

And despite of all we all in Europe pay again taxes on each purchase

So what a person with minimum income pays is about 50% of their life as base

22% before and 21% after

Meanwhile what you pointed the extra payments forced for own the house, the car and trash

[proud jay]

what's the 22% before

[median wraith]

That's about 800€ per year in total maybe.
1500€ with the car

[proud jay]

you mean like income tax?

[median wraith]

Well the base tax for income IRPF called here, that table of % based on how you you get and pay

Government says the first 5k per year don't pay taxes

That's all you need to live

Wasn't changed since 1970 or so?

Since 15y ago you cannot use your house payments for deduction anymore etc

[soft night]

https://tenor.com/view/spanky-throwing-money-cash-money-our-gang-little-rascals-gif-17488485636528492437

[median wraith]

Our parents for example were able to cut the taxes they pay cutting out the amount of money you paid that year for your house to the bank etc

[proud jay]

22% is nothing lmao

come to belgium

employer pays 34% contribution

and then you have brackets up to 50%

which is not that high of a barrier to get to it

[median wraith]

I mean

You pay more, but your income is higher

[proud jay]

people pay an average of 45% tax

[median wraith]

We are the most pressured country in europe

By income-expensives ratio

[proud jay]

I imagine things are cheaper in spain too though

[median wraith]

You are at the top by the total pressure

[proud jay]

we're number 1 at percentage

[median wraith]

But if you count the income and payments you fall

[proud jay]

I feel like I need to move to colombia

[median wraith]

Depends, there was a website that compares overall prices

[soft night]

the ratio on public finance comparison to private sector finance

[median wraith]

"Rent Prices in Spain are 1.1% lower than in Belgium"

Lmao

1% foking percent

@proud jay https://www.numbeo.com/cost-of-living/compare_countries_result.jsp?country1=Belgium&country2=Spain

Notice how there everything's is more expensive

[proud jay]

I think that depends where you're looking

[median wraith]

Yet here the purchase power is 15% less

[soft night]

not added power bill taxes of additional taxes what up that price?

[median wraith]

We got taxes added on power supply sure

[proud jay]

it says that right on the chart though

there's electricity there

I guess that includes taxes

[median wraith]

Here prices are kinda equal across all cities at this point

Unless you want at some middle center city

[proud jay]

apartment in madrid is the same price as in the shithole you live in?

[soft night]

Finland is dropped to IMF observe list because of depbt

[median wraith]

Note the average income there is 1000€ more than here

[proud jay]

finland only has 82% debt to gdp

weak

[median wraith]

But the rest of things aren't as much difference

That's why we live in the shit

[proud jay]

we're at 104%

[soft night]

dieter Finland is dropping fast

[proud jay]

so just step in the car and drive 1000km to another country

[proud jay]

dropping debt to gdp is a good thing

[soft night]

we are adding more debt

[proud jay]

I don't see any news source saying anything about IMF being negative about finland

quite the contrary

IMF seems to indicate a recovery and growth for the finish economy

[median wraith]

That's right

Well I have it easy to move, issue is to get the right to live in other places without a job contract or so

Idk if you are self employed how works

[proud jay]

no idea

but at least you can stay for 6 months without any question

but if you're self employed and work internationally it would be more interesting to move to low tax country I guess

see, finland is not even on your pic

[median wraith]

Keep printing money

Road to cuba lol

[proud jay]

countries have just gotten used to growth and productivity boom of the industrial revolution and the internet, but productivity growth is slowing down again, but no one is willing to adjust

cause once you give something to people it's hard to take it away

[median wraith]

What the hell you say

People was yesterday with Rosalia in streets

But they don't care about anything else

[median wraith]

That last thing is right, even if is a stupid thing maybe

I look to the blue of sky because at this point everything is in flames

[unborn lotus]

@median wraith remember when llc taxes were 5% in romania? now they're 16% + 1500 euros per year 🥲

[median wraith]

Oh yeah a friend from Romania told me jezzz

[unborn lotus]

i just gotta make a new company in ireland and make fake invoices for the company in romania then pull money from ireland instead

[median wraith]

Videogames and history teach something important that seems like everyone's ignores later, scalation fuck the whole production chain. You get those, but then you needed more and more, because the base products lost value, it's infinite chain and goes nowhere with fake constant promises

Yeah that's a different topic

But as Dieter said we all are connected

Good luck taking all that off

And trying to go back

Because is the only way to shutdown the power of main companies distribution etc

You will also have to say goodbye to big production elements you have

Efficient for what

Let's imagine this

Whats better to have a septic tank in your house that can drain over time and the land around or to send all the people in the country poops to a mega center area somewhere in the country

At first the mega center may look best industrial managed system

After you and people spend years building it with all the effort and energy todo it, and then the nature isn't capable of manage all that shit located in the same place, because the life is driven by organic materia, no optimized systems that can help someones on purpose

I see all the local stores in the cities closing because nobody purchase there anymore, except food, everyone goes to Amazon etc

And isn't a surprise to anyone how fucked that chain is

On income, hours and other things

aside of the fact that cancel all the individuals with small bussines I mean

Well on that cases I don't really know, because again as Dieter said, this is something was given to people, they like this

Most of the people cannot set themselves limits, as that Call of Duty trailer used to say

So if someone gives them a gym subscription with a guidance, a system that deliver packages with all the management and they don't have to move

sure they will get it

and they will blame you if you take that now off

Well, governments acts the same way, banks, all the big companies and individuals

You cannot control people individually because that isn't logic or will ever make any sense, and each one is different with their own problems in life, health etc

[proud jay]

that's still on the low side no?

[median wraith]

Well there is now a profession to fix the new evolved thing, the chain is like a big tree, is split in branches, each new branch don't make it more efficent, it gives a fake sense of efficency it still depends of the same root, and the same root cannot hold infinite branches without growth

[proud jay]

here it's 25%

20% under the first 100k though

[median wraith]

A person used to work and own money to pay 2 houses a car and a whole family of 6

Now each one is working and cannot handle to pay a room and a cat

[unborn lotus]

Doesnt seem low at all 😞

[median wraith]

I would say your theory isn't working

I mean that's easy now you have x2 of people working, less money for all, everyone have a degree, less money to all

sameway of the Steam stats

in 2010 - 300 games released the top 5% income was like 10 millions

in 2025 - 20.000 games release, the top 5% is 100.000€

[unborn lotus]

Richard nixon

[median wraith]

entertainment is in fall because the same reason

[unborn lotus]

But games industry is bigger than films + music combined...it's a gigantic opportunity

[median wraith]

people used to give value to individual products, because there wasn't many and each one was well crafted

and now you have a shitshow where the 50% of released games on steam per year don't even get back their 100€ paid euros to enter the store

and people move in between products more often than underwear

yeah true

[median wraith]

Well, key part of games industry and why it was bigger its how much it costed to create something

now even Pepe with 8y can download UE and make vampire survivors <so it lost value>

[proud jay]

I mean compared to other countries

[median wraith]

We got so much cake yeah

[proud jay]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nixon_shock

[median wraith]

When you get each day caviar for food

[unborn lotus]

Idk I think people can still tell asset flips and the like from the real deal. The only bad part is you lose visibility

[median wraith]

you won't appreciate that shit by+ the month

unknow reason?

is the same reason you describe and see

the health care system isn't working

neither the public transport

and you say someday? someday is now

What I just say is:
If give the power to everyone to have something, that will lost value for everyone.
And if you try to exponential growth, life isn't a videogame it will collapse

That's why I mean the whole system is a dream with a failure as target

But they said you will last 500y alive and no one will have cancer

You have to sell somehow the companies purpose right

[proud jay]

people are living too long and not having enough children, which is fucking up what most societal structures are based on

and western mindset is shifting more and more to individualism instead of community which is also not helping

[median wraith]

People is living longer and getting cancers by 20y old and not having kids or a proper quality of life in most places as here, everything in this life have a payoff, that's what I mean on all that

Maybe is better to have people with a happy life for 30y than the whole population with rising health issues, physical and mental where some reach the 120y

[proud jay]

so why don't you have 14 kids hev

who's gonna pay for your retirement

I have assumed I'll never get a government pension from the day I started working

so I'm doing a private pension plan, pension through employer and investing myself

[median wraith]

Problem in spain is

[proud jay]

the spanish people

[unborn lotus]

Too many siestas

[median wraith]

you get charged once you retire the pension money from the private plan

you pay like the half lol

[proud jay]

here we have some tax on it too

but like

8% I think

but in exchange you can deduct your pension savings from your taxes, so you get 30% of your money "back" when putting it in there

let's say you put 1k in there, you can deduct 300 euros from taxes

[median wraith]

jokes on you we are the ones that spend the most time at jobs, but the less productives from whole europe

[proud jay]

up to a certain limit

[proud jay]

so you're saying spanish people are lazy af

[median wraith]

oh yeah as self employed I think at least I got that

I can have a per year deduction of that 300€ too

but its for health care unsure

[pearl elk]

asking too much if you think tech companies actually gonna tech 😛

I bet theyre just waiting for someone to get so frustrated they build their own opensource. That way they dont have to pay someone to do it. Thats how it works right?

lets be real though these companies benefit quite alot financially by having poor frontends

its a design choice, perhaps one of the darkest patterns

even Steam does it, theres certain searches you cant do because it would be too convenient, they dont do price history or other consumer friendly stuff like proper refunds or resales

resales would drive the price of older games down too much, we cant have a bargain bin oh no

amazing thing is devs could still get a cut on resales but nope, buy all these games over and over and over

Epic dont even care about anything outside of the Fortnite window thats what it is

they already got their metaverse store right there

just sucks that even the best of them are dodgy AF

then people are like "what happened to gaming discoverability"

some big secret obviously

Its like well mate, the stores always sucked and now your favourite tuber is farming politics so they dont show you gamings hidden gems anymore. When they do play its basically something from the front page of any store

ruralish texas town with really no attractions, the only real income is oil and cattle based. and the library is great, multimillion dollar building... in the middle of nowhere

oh man, someone have to make the Jam game with textures like this lol

it's trippy

[proud jay]

how long can you play before puking

[median wraith]

not even 1min lol

[proud jay]

looks nice on some things though

but on everything is crzy

[median wraith]

btw the Youtube player now looks like the Steam one

XD

that's ironic

[proud jay]

it does?

[median wraith]

yeah seems like they changed the whole size

as desktop user liked more the old one but whatever

[summer cedar]

@median wraith What do you think of this new Battlefield map?

[median wraith]

oh siet

what did happen there

[proud jay]

yeah but that doesn't look like the steam vid player though

[proud jay]

reminds me of the white house

[summer cedar]

Hehe.

[summer cedar]

M00rica's own goal.

Demolished the east wing of their White House to build humpty dumpty's new ballroom.

I love the rendering here.

Look at how cool lumen is, and that volumetric fog up there.

[proud jay]

oh it's actually a pic from the white house lol

[summer cedar]

😄

I hear the frame rates are very smooth.

Like, life-like even.

[proud jay]

remember when trump said they wouldn't touch the existing structure and just add to it

good times

[summer cedar]

He was being honest.

HE didn't touch it.

The bulldozer did, but we can't speak to machine logic.

[proud jay]

The fact that the part he's breaking down is the first lady's office and staffing area is very on brand for him

[summer cedar]

🤷‍♂️ There might be a tax exemption if he buries her there.

[rare flower]

So excited for release, so I made this a week ago.

[unborn lotus]

But 5% made over 100k

Just gotta be a 5%-er

[median wraith]

The whole world at this point

[dusky shuttle]

good luck

Hunt, hunt, fight, fight, work, work.

[median wraith]

Okay I have today a hard question for you

Tell me games mixing graphic styles in the same game

[summer cedar]

I'd be the wrong person for that. I normally don't keep track of different graphics styles, unless the game's entirely bugged thereby.

Just toss the question to Gemini.

[median wraith]

Those bots have no idea of visual styles

[summer cedar]

They don't, but they'll give you entries from such discussions across the web.

You can choose the ones you want.

[celest musk]

how many of these 13k Games are free to play?

[summer cedar]

Several, I am guessing. Plus the margin for errors in this 'survey' are rather large.

[proud jay]

depends what you mean with styles

[summer cedar]

Guess work is both fun, and unreliable.

[proud jay]

like octopath traveller or paper mario mix 2d & 3d but still one style I guess

Nier Automata switches for some sections I guess

[median wraith]

Say a realistic level with 2D draw characters on it

[unborn lotus]

it could make sense in a game if it's like a collab and a different artist does a different level

[median wraith]

No I don't mean that, Call of Duty is build as what you say

[summer cedar]

Grimrock, but not in the way you are saying. The CAMERA system is from the Might & Magic style 2D games.

[median wraith]

No, Grimrock is a whole composition that makes sense

characters are 3D etc

only the player isn't visible

characters must be always more visible than the level itself

so is easier for players to spot

Call of Duty always went a step forward and the character models have light fucked on purpose

so are easier to spot

[proud jay]

so not octopath traveler or paper mario?

you want more distinct environment vs character?

[median wraith]

Those are sharing a style between world and character

Went viral at the time because there for example is a hard difference between world and character as one is 2D

here I'm talking on something extra, like that + total different style

I have seen that in 2 games only, but I don't remember the names

If you take Mario Bross

[summer cedar]

For further research, please pay $100.

[median wraith]

in 3D and put it on a realistic world

then will be that

Sonic Frontiers

or this demos from the Italian dude

are what I mean

Huge contrast between the character and world at the point the world style makes no sense

but it makes perfect sense after

[proud jay]

Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch maybe?

but it matches too good still

who framed roger rabit, but that's not a game

[median wraith]

Yeah that goes in the way, you see characters are or flat style meanwhile background is more handscrafted

as old animations

yet isn't as different as this

and I can tell you

this don't work the other way around

if you make a whole simple level with high detailed characters

thats fucked

[median wraith]

yeah there you go that's a perfect example

[proud jay]

that's what I said

[median wraith]

sorry I didn't had by the name on top of my head

[proud jay]

or is that space jam actually

ok yeah sorry it's space jam

[median wraith]

yeah I watched space jam but no othjers

[proud jay]

you making a game like this hev?

or why you asking

[median wraith]

I'm investigating yeah

testing different styles

[unborn lotus]

i saw a game on twitter with 3d pixel art, certainly looked cool

[proud jay]

like voxels?

[unborn lotus]

no

some sprites + parallax idk

[proud jay]

so 2d assets but building a 3d world

[proud jay]

ah I see

looks like a combination of texturing & modeling choices and a pixelation shader

[median wraith]

Warhammer 40,000: Boltgun is a pixel art where you can tell everything comes from 3D images, rather than make the actual pixel art manually, so is easier for artist and dev to make all sides of each model, and I don't like it somehow

[median wraith]

trust me that's a bullshit

Aren't voxels or so

is just a PP in screen that does the close aberration

will look like ass once you put your hands on

put it fill screen

check the rock at the road right

now imagine see that shit all the time

[unborn lotus]

i guess but it looks like old daggerfall or similar games except better

riding on nostalgia

going viral

lots of sales

[median wraith]

no reall, this went viral because is a clone of those generated AI videos

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2p0pE9RHFKg

Check here what I mean and the effect

and you will notice without the compression what I mean

it changes the render scale per depth

also applies a close aberration effect

on top of displacement map

[proud jay]

now you made me see this on twitter https://x.com/polygonflow/status/1980302996513968506

Polygonflow Dash (@polygonflow)

We believe it should be really easy to add weather effects in Unreal Engine 5.

And that's why we have included a rain and snow tool, and the ability to add rain, snow and water puddles to your materials.

All inside our UE5 plugin Dash.

X · Oct 20, 2025, 4:00 PM

[median wraith]

My placer tool competes with the one this dudes did

still didn't made the trailer that stupid Im

but I don't have those cool things

The Sky tools comes with that

[proud jay]

I don't see the problem tbh

[unborn lotus]

Thats good. They also have a phsyical layout tool to throw shit around in a scene

[median wraith]

I do

That tool is a subscription model

[median wraith]

https://x.com/Hevedy/status/1953898905042817154

I delayed this to the point that UE released a new version with PCG, damm man

[median wraith]

floating pixels with coagulation

moving like a fountain

[proud jay]

what timestamp is this

[median wraith]

0:02 to 0.06

rigth big stone

well it happen everywhere but that's the more visible

and the table later

[proud jay]

meh, doesn't bother me really tbh

[unborn lotus]

there's this one too https://www.fab.com/listings/b4378ee5-6317-4030-a6d0-3040b6540d38

but dash is more like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ZJFNSgbsNs

so you can move stuff around and have it however you want

[median wraith]

@proud jay @unborn lotus that effect is kinda elike this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=euXQH5D2Ffw

but that's even worst as is SS

[unborn lotus]

Like ps1 graphics

[median wraith]

those are made by noobs, this goes far more

BPs meh

I have seen a lot

Mine can import all instances from Blender too

and works with UE4.27 too

[unborn lotus]

Yeah but it was free 😅

[median wraith]

that was free?

I don't own it as its like 5€

[unborn lotus]

It was for sure

[median wraith]

they gave other for free for instances too

[unborn lotus]

I used it but it is surely is lacking for moving stuff around

[median wraith]

Yeah mine don't have moving stuff around yet

you can invidually once you bake

there is a more complete one with brush and all but its 50€ or so

you can always place a box and move it

[proud jay]

yeah I saw that before, very trippy

[median wraith]

I have the feeling that in the pixel one will happen too

[proud jay]

I think it's less pronounced though

[median wraith]

yeah since are pixels everywhere

[median wraith]

lol

[proud jay]

I don't think that's how it works

People in general is easy to sell something based on something they know already

That's why technicall people is never well know

I mean you can make a daggerfall

with alike graphics to the AI videos, but it requieres from a lot of manual tunning, this is using filters

[celest musk]

why do they proof it like this? Oo

shouldn't an executable proof it?! 🤔

seems more like viral marketing striking again

[unborn lotus]

Maybe he doesnt really have 100k wishlists. Maybe 10k and is hyping it up

[median wraith]

Basically it's

Yeah whatever even if have 1 million

[celest musk]

yea, shut up and finish the game xDDD

@trail ore how many 3D transforms can you fit into a 64bytes numeric base?

https://tenor.com/view/meonly-gif-19710542

R: XYZ S: XYZ at one digit each 0 to 9 for a scale simulation of 0.0 to 1.0 or .0 to .9 that are 6 digits

[soft night]

https://tenor.com/view/the-flux-capacitor-energy-time-travel-excited-dr-emmet-brown-gif-16482144

[median wraith]

no

need to store the minimal size online

location can be int only removing the decimal part plus can be scaled x100 so can be maybe in range of 000 to 999 XYZ 999.999.999 still less than a int32 size

000.000.000.000.000 so for me the minimun size could be this

4 T at 60B

[pearl elk]

uniform or non-uniform scale @median wraith ?

[median wraith]

well if you do uniform you can save 2 digits there and if you remove too one axis rotation another one

[pearl elk]

scale could be a single int8, thats probably where you'll save the most

[soft night]

https://tenor.com/view/bh187-stargate-portal-gif-19287628

[median wraith]

actually no because as named already the scale is 1 single digit

Location 000.000.000 + Rot 000 + Scale 000

3 B scale and 3 B Rot

including all axis

lerping from 0 to 1 each digit

per axis

[pearl elk]

5.3333 transforms in 64bytes

using int/float16 as the location

[soft night]

using uint and int

[pearl elk]

Hallooooo

[errant raven]

Hey 😠

[pearl elk]

Its true though, we are so political these days people cant even just be dumb without some sort of reason

like dumb people all woke up with a plan and a committee

[errant raven]

All I've noticed is a drastic drop in language comprehension

And reading comprehension

[pearl elk]

Thats just Hev, he's always been like that 😛

[errant raven]

Needing to be spoonfed every little thing

[pearl elk]

I blame games, soon we'll start painting all the door handles in the real world yellow

[errant raven]

Like in anime, or movies, or books for example, some lore is implied to be true through context but never directly stated

And people will just say it isnt true because it hasn't been directly confirmed or denied

Even tho it is, because the context literally points to it

[pearl elk]

dumb people buy more

theres no incentive for people to be smarter

[errant raven]

I have to be more contextually aware for Japanese 🙁

[pearl elk]

I mean look at streamers and celebrities, are the ones with the biggest following the smartest?

intelligence isnt a desirable trait at all unless it has money to back it up

[errant raven]

Celebrities are dum as fuck

Individual people are only intelligent when it comes to the specific fields they commit themselves to

For most celebrities that's singing or acting

Streamers, the big ones, its communication and games

[pearl elk]

I just feel like its not ignorance causing this, its a wilful decision for humans to worship idiots

[proud jay]

the problem is everything is catered to the dumbest denominator

dragging everyone down

[pearl elk]

then we blame AI and its just like "what did I do bro"

[errant raven]

The common man is braindead

[pearl elk]

AI just over here grinding, helping everyone equally with no judgement

we could learn a thing or two from AI

[errant raven]

Unless you say a word that's randomly a slur now

Gpt gave me a lengthy lecture for saying dwarf

[pearl elk]

yes well you still want to be kind and positive, I know some people struggle with that

I hope you debated it back

thats what I do when ever it tries to lecture me

[errant raven]

I did

[pearl elk]

most of the time the AI does come around unless youre trying to slip around filters on purpose

[errant raven]

What's the point of saying dwarf is a slur when the "preferred" term "person with dwarfism" has dwarf in it

[proud jay]

definitely not three though

[errant raven]

Languages have rules that have to be followed for the language to be consistent, and the argument for the stupidity modern generations come up with is "language changes over time"

[pearl elk]

unfortunately people fight over language and the AI picks up on that, it has also been told to take up that fight too

[errant raven]

It gets so pissy over stupid stuff just like humans do

[pearl elk]

Ive been told, by someone who hires in the games industry no less, that etymology doesnt matter

thats why bro is now a word for everyone, like dude but some people get really upset because they think those are gendered terms

its like well does etymology matter or not, pick one 😛

[errant raven]

Dude has a feminine form

[pearl elk]

way I see it is that AI wont get smarter until we do as a collective consciousness, blaming it for our own failings is just an early return

[errant raven]

Dudette, shit you not

Dude - a male who works on a ranch

Dudette - a female who works on a ranch

[pearl elk]

some ladies might be offended by dudette, it never really took off but it tends to describe a more masculine female

which is basically bro tbh 😛

[errant raven]

They're terms for specific jobs

But language evolves and words change meanings

[pearl elk]

"dude" was a new word for "dandy"

[errant raven]

That's just dude

[pearl elk]

yankee doodle dude

[errant raven]

Thought it was yankee doodle doo

It's been dude this whole time?

I "learned" 11 new words and 10 new kanji today, on top of the 82 words and 78 kanji I've been learning

[pearl elk]

basically an old timey word for hipsters

[errant raven]

Havent written a single note for this game, and I have a 84% retention rate. Some words I should be writing down and reviewing for clarity

I havent practiced speaking at all, so I cant even do that even though I have the vocabulary and grammar knowledge to do so

It's part of a bundle w/ police sim

[summer cedar]

I think I played Firefighting Simulator on Game Pass. Not sure if it's the same one.

As usual, stutter fest with Lumen and stuff turned on.

It was fun otherwise, but I don't play simulators for a long time.

Too much of a grind.

Police Simulator is fun though. People get into car accidents like crazy, because the simulator can't handle maximum settings.

And it's underway!

Kangaroos are chasing 265.

gg Australia

won by 2 wickets and about 20 balls remaining.

now on to the women's match

India's 201-0, 32.3 overs.
Openers are doing an AMAZING job.

[proud jay]

there's a thing called wicket in cricket?

[summer cedar]

They also have tickets.

[white oxide]

lol

tbh i havent done storage in months

nothing good

now im a book writer

with 6 books in a project of 21

🙂

[summer cedar]

Ah, I see what happened.

Diwali holidays.

Ko-Fi isn't a priority merchant, so the credit card wasn't charged on the 22nd, like it was supposed to be.

It should be charged later today. Oh well, if it isn't I'll renew it tomorrow or the day after.

[proud jay]

are these books of 5 pages

why do you need 21 parts

[summer cedar]

5 manually written pages and 500 AI-ones.

[unborn lotus]

Are the 6 books published already?

[white oxide]

nope

366,578 words so far

in just the novels, and like close to a million in the tech bible, i actually had to break it up because it breaches the context token limit in like 2 chapters

[wispy rain]

only one here i use is the one that lets you see dislikes

vivaldi has an adblocker builtin 🙂

also i have premium

.. i have another one that gives you a repeat toggle

[wispy rain]

jesus

[unborn lotus]

But shouldnt you publish some first to see if people like them before doing 21?

[white oxide]

eh im gonna make them either way

the tisum is fully engaged

[summer cedar]

crust

[white oxide]

others go for trains or construction equipment, mine is for some reason sci-fi and specifically the creation of this universe

[wispy rain]

i have a 5600X, i recently realised it'd been running at half clockspeed for years because of a bad thermal connection

[white oxide]

My plan is to finish the entire project and then work along a very very detailed pre-realease schedule and promotional before pitching book 1 of the main saga to an agent then publisher

9 main saga novels
3 anthologies
5 books in a spinoff series
1 main technical manual
3 prequel novels for promotional, split into 56 "chapters" and released as 4 public readers, then the rest as part of a weekly mailer.

i mean what else am i going to do?

I have all my bills covered by disability, nowhere to really go, nothing to really do BUT write this, and it almost never burns me out

[summer cedar]

India 263-1, 40.3 overs.

The women are ON FIRE today.

[wispy rain]

they wear so much protective clothing, who's gonna know if they secretly send a man in to bat 😛

[summer cedar]

probably the b00bs.

[wispy rain]

hmmm maybe i should tune in

[white oxide]

IBTC would like a word

[summer cedar]

WHAT A CATCH!

Look at that dive (the shadow underneath).

Awesome stuff. Kudos to any kiwis here. 😄

[white oxide]

I bet that hurt

[summer cedar]

mebbe, but she didn't show any sign of it.

301-2, 44.5 overs.

New Zealand is going to regret bowling first.

[soft night]

https://tenor.com/view/microsoft-hackathon-hackathon-hackathon2020-microsoft-msft-garage-gif-17807819

[summer cedar]

329-2, 48 overs

Plus, it started drizzling. 🌧️

So, if they can get 12 runs from 12 balls, that'd be dandy.

Nope. No dice.

RAIN CHECK! 😄

@white oxide Check my colour now, rural M00rican. 😛

It was as I suspected. Diwali holidays delayed the charge, since Ko-Fi isn't a priority merchant here.

Not every explicit word is coming from me but ill tweak and edit it for hours to ensure that it passes the fanatics tests. Has to fit, flow and make sense im the explicit world of my setting.

I just generally suck at prose in a setting ive spent a decade world building in

[white oxide]

Yeah, i poke at it a bit but most of the team vanished to college and jobs. Like usual. Big part of why i write jow, i can do that without needing another human.

Plus if i pull it off i can use the funds and fanbase to get back into dev and actually make stuff
