Hmmm another dev interested in this is saying Unity. Seems tough to learn.

You could always charitably donate it to me if you REALLY don’t want it. ;)

As someone with almost no experience I want to use AI code a game that’s basically a top down build and chase tag type game, think rts custom mod.
How feasible is this? What should I use? AI says Godot but I have no idea if that’s a good suggestion.

It’s far beyond the scope of this I’d assume, but I want to code a stand alone version of the Warcraft 3 custom game island defense. Would be a great thing.

Tony Keith with the song that goes “brought to you courtesy, of the red white and blue” is quite triumphalist about the U.S. from the Bush era.

I’d like the first sci fi one. I read that series on your rec and liked it well enough!

I think what he's getting at is that the things that these people are doing are quite immoral, and have horrible externalities on the rest of us.

AIs are not capable of accessing whatever unpleasant childhood experience it is that gives you this hunger.
Wait, what?
What don't you get about it? He's making the point that most of the 'highly agentic tech bros' in these circles are basically narcissists driven by an intense psychological need for approval and even worship from others. I think he paints the picture quite well, and that it's rather accurate.

Playing a ton of Island Defense on Warcraft 3, a custom game. Having a blast playing custom games on there, the community is still surprisingly active. Been revisiting wintermaul, hero siege, Gem TD, Jungle Troll Tribes, trolls vs elves, tree tag, kodo tag, etc etc. Direct strike is a new game that's fun too. Overall a great experience, totally worth the $30 that I was very skeptical about paying for a game I had already bought 20 years ago.

In fact the very rich or the middle class don't pay for the rest of the food. Much of it is paid for by the future American taxpayer in the form of debt, and/or inflation.

I'm a relatively new Orthodox convert, so I'm stepping into the fast. This year I'm cutting out meat and alcohol, while also trying to limit portions. Generally going to try and get to sleep on time as well.
I also like to add something during fasts, so I'm considering working in a 10 min meditation before evening prayers.

Did anyone here ever play Warcraft 3 custom games? I spent a ton of time as a teenager on those, and they were amazing.
I recently found out a decently big community is still playing them, and I'm tempted to spend $30 on a 20 year old game just to fire up some old custom games and relive the nostalgia....

Keep us posted. FWIW I felt the Karsa parts, while cool, we're the most morally degraded of the whole series. Well perhaps besides that one part with Toc the Younger... blech.

Huh that feels quite weird for Erikson yeah. I didn't know about that. Excited he's finally publishing the Karsa trilogy though. I love Malazan have read it a few times now.

Amazing! I love that show. Have seen it multiple times. It's the only show I have the files downloaded since it was so hard to find torrented.

I very much agree, it’s pure ressentiment in a Nietzschean sense. Envy and jealous turned rancorous and pushed into the core of a person’s psyche.
Ultimately I do think a lot of it comes from a genuine imbalance with how the sexes are treated. Also, at a more fundamental level, the core of Indo-European society and really all civilization truly is patriarchy, and the rule of the father over friendship. This religion of patriarchy was shared by not just the Mediterraneans and Christians, but by Islamic cultures, Hindu culture, Chinese, etc.
In a way, the attempted destruction of the patriarchy is a deeper and more profound attack on the core of civilized culture than angry atheists loudly decrying how evil Christianity is. The religion of the father goes back farther, and in many ways is the foundation Christianity was built upon.
Not to say there weren’t problems with patriarchy, but I think that men rightly intuit that for all of civilized history, we enjoyed a certain respect and dignity in exchange for the burdens we bear. Now we are asked to bear the same burdens, not only without the respect, but often enduring outright vitriol for being men. It’s simply not possible for many young men to hear that and not grow up pissed off, and the easiest target in this sort of situation is, sadly, women as a whole.

Ahh I see, gotcha. Good stuff. We want to homeschool ourselves so we’ll see how it goes. Good luck going full time into it.
I want to make a standalone game. There’s already a custom map that I’m playing now.
