I want a game world that has magic, tech, and rpg elements. Single player. Maybe some modern world too.
I have ideas where it starts medieval and introduces magic and tech due to parallel worlds/civilizations. I would link magic and tech at a base level so they interact. It would also be a lot of bullshit fiction to make this happen.
I thought about starting in modern world that makes contact to parallel worlds and this starts chain reactions of conflict inter-dimensionally. That would allow for anything to go at that point.
Anyway, just posting my thoughts. In the end I will rely heavily on player suspension of disbelief. They will either accept my bullshit or play something else.
Welcome to my fucked up world bitches!11 -
So I have heard that some neuroscientists think brain function might be operating on a quantum level. I also know we are inching closer to quantum computing.
Does this mean as these two sciences converge we may develop consciousness transfer when they do?4 -
Day 31 or starving myself to death challenge. I feel good because of what retoor said to me yesterday2

You know
Once I write code
And it remains relevant because perhaps it's simple things that won't change much
I expect the bullshit to stay put
Not to have motherfuckers deciding what belongs to me and what does not1 -
I hate tech.
Trying to find a solution to problem in tech:
- 5 to 10 minutes searching for the correct terminology for the problem you are having.
- 5 to 10 minutes trying to find a solution.
- 5 to 10 minutes trying to find the correct terminology because the first terminology was wrong.
- 5 to 10 minutes finding the correct solution for your platform version.
- all the while dodging sketchy AI results
- Either you find a solution or you find it can't be fixed on your platform because X vendor is a POS.
So, this is not quite what happened today, but it pisses me off. I cannot imagine not being non-technical trying to use any platform this day and age.
I am trying to access data off of a backup. The data I want is in a user directory on a windows backup. I cannot get to user content because the user for the machine the backup came from is not known. I try with explorer and it says I need to elevate priv. So I do. It sits there and just spins icon doing nothing forever. The volume for viewing the backup is read only (actually a good idea, but annoying, can't change permissions).
So I remember that explorer artificially enforces permissions on folders. So I get Q-Dir which has worked in the past. So I get it installed and it fails to elevate privs. WTF! Everywhere I search I see no solution and shitty AI results. Then from the back of my mind I remember. Run Q-Dir as admin (which doesn't work on explorer due to artificial enforcement). So I do. It can access anything from the backup regardless of location.
WHY THE FUCK DO THESE BULLSHIT BARRIERS EXIST? It only causes frustration from users and locks people out of their data.
I hate technology.5 -
My life feels like a video game dialogue where there's no right thing to say and no right action to make.8

lol the solution to "ohno if I try this everything goes fuck" happening with everything
is to do all the everything's that make it go fuck _at the same time_
and then somehow all the problems solve themselves
life does have a sense of humour2 -
I'm in Germany.
While being the same race, they're obviously from a different world. I wonder if @Lensflare has more style than his fellow citizens.
Most Germans are Dutch without support for CSS. The country of times new Roman I guess.
They buy apple products to compensate for theur own style. That's how much money is needed to make a German hip.26 -
Our projet's system architect posted in our chat that me returning to the team next week will be the best b-day gift for him.
I was OOO for 3 months
what am I returning into....?5 -
Nothing like spending 2 days solving a problem that could have been solved by 15 minutes of manual work
Hey, at least it's automated now...6 -
What shall it be today?
- AoK returning
- retoor shilling python
- kiki posting about her diet
- Me shitposting about devrants people once more
- All of the above17 -
Did you ever had your dream come true?
With dream, I'm not talking about something you did rationally choose. I'm talking about something what you want with no specific reason. For me, it was becoming a programmer, as little kid already. Thank God it was nothing material. I think it's a good dream. It's achievable and solves some life issues like money automatically. I'm lucky.12 -
Day 17 of starving myself to death challenge.
Yesterday was… different. As I already said multiple times, I do eat from time to time, but yesterday I decided to fast.
By the evening, my body was completely exhausted. Couldn’t really stand on my own without holding onto something.
Then I laid down and got ready for sleep.
Because my body had zero energy, for the first time in 15 years it wasn’t twitching. It twitches all the time: I have restless legs syndrome, but it’s not just legs for me but the whole body. I can’t stress this enough how much I twitch every day. But right then and there, my body was calm.
As my brain was shutting down and falling asleep, I felt euphoria unlike anything I have ever experienced. I was in heaven. Calm body, empty mind.
I want to say it was worth it, and I probably will do it all again someday.
In the meantime, on I go, without fasting, motivated more than ever!4 -
Oh for fuck's sake.
delete from FooTable where FooID in (select FooID from OtherTable)
If there is no field called FooID in OtherTable, then the bracketed select is just the FooID of the current record in FooTable, repeated n times where there are n rows in OtherTable. So it matches every record.
Which makes perfect sense, but for fuck's sake.
Obviously if this was prod I would have been using fully-qualified column names.
But nevertheless, for fuck's sake.1 -
Heads-up, ChatGPT is leaking through cracks. Each chat is NOT carried out in an isolated, pristine context. It can refer to your previous conversations in a new context.
e.g.: https://chatgpt.com/share/e/...
I did NOT mention anything about any project/client or any fintech or any certification in this conversation. However, I mentioned all of those things in a previous conversation.
Contexts leaked into each other. IDK if my newer conversation will have any effect on answers to follow-up questions in older conversations, though.
No, learning from my conversations is NOT enabled.
But if chatgpt still remembers our conversations, regardless my explicit preference NOT to do that, makes me wonder what else they are collecting/doing behind the scenes..11
