Tell that to the poor sod who had to run in front of the first motorcars, waving a red flag.

The way I see it, my comments have prompted an enormous amount of discussion. The most interesting comment, I think, was from PixelProf when they said "Lots of students arbitrarily hating anything AI related". It's this blind, herd mentality that I attempted (apparently successfully) to start a discussion about. In fact a lot of what I wrote was driven by the point you were making, which I interpreted as being a funny take on the way people react to AI generated content.

Sure, but I expect they disrupted the workflow of folks in 1804...

Neither I, nor anyone, can "protect" it or slow it down. You either find a way to work with what's happening or spiral into greater and greater impotent rage. Better accept this now than slowly go mad no?

It doesn't matter what I (or anyone) "proposes". You may as well be asking me what I propose to do about the orbit of Jupiter. Arguing about it on the Internet is especially pointless. It's the new "Old man shouts at clouds" basically...

It's a paradigm shift and people always behave in unpredictable ways when those come around. It'll settle down eventually into just being a part of normal life.

Dammit you're right. Well, I guess that fixes everything.

 

It happened to me this morning. I was feeling like everyone hated me and I was completely useless and a failure at everything and then I suddenly thought... "What would Worf do?" and things actually started to feel better 🤣 What's your strategy?

Hmm... if a bunch of matchsticks fall on the floor, do you immediately know how many there are? If you do, I may have some news for you 🤣

Two words that have no relevance to that headline but are just there for clicks: "China" and "Ukraine".

The headline is probably more like "Over sensitive flower at a University over reacts when one of two people who shboinked brags a little too much about it".

Great to see my parents found an actual picture from when they were young of their walk to work..

 

This was my first ever experience of a dungeon crawler and I was completely hooked and somehow managed to finish it.

I've always wondered what the closest modern successor to it might be. I just loved the first person feeling of solitude down there and the layers of dungeon getting more and more dangerous as you explored them. I also loved that there were factions that could be friendly in there and that you could trade with. Does anyone know what the nearest equivalent to this masterpiece might be?

 

I still have my 20 year old Yamaha Tyros 2 and I love it. It somehow still works too! I loved it though because it was such an all in one solution for writing, recording and performing music and vocals. By today's standards though it does feel like operating a telephone exchange in a world full of smartphones (and you have to constantly dodge super cringe music styles - OberPolka2 or LimboRock anyone?) .

My question is what do you young'uns use these days that could give me that same all in one feel with lots of auto accompaniment support? Also, I'd love to be able to sample my vocals and layer them within the one unit. Is there anything like that around? I mean I assume there must be given 20 years of technological evolution since the Tyros 2 came out 😄

 

I discovered I had ADHD about 18 months ago and since then I've noticed my personality has changed quite a bit. Just knowing the reason why the world always seemed such a confusing place and realising how much masking I did all my life, I've noticed the pendulum seems to be swinging in the other way now. I'm never masking again and if that means I seem strange to neurotypicals then so be it.

Have any of you who also discovered your neurospicyness in the last few years experienced anything like this as well? I'm just done pretending and I know it's probably making me more of a challenge to be around.

I wonder if this is normal and if the pendulum will swing back eventually to a more harmonious place.

Also when did it become ok for dentists to tell you off for not brushing up to their standards. I just noticed how they routinely use shaming as a form of control.

 

The things that get in the way for me are: getting instantly bored with any weight loss strategy, an inability to do things if I'm told I have to, forgetting that I need to lose weight, needing the sensory input of food, inability to recognise when I'm full, hyper-focusing on weight loss for a month and losing a ton of weight and then putting it all back on the next month because I celebrated the weight loss with cake...

I just wonder if there are any ADHD behaviour hacks where I could use my neurospicyness to actually help me lose weight consistently.

 

I am a reddit refugee from the mod wars. I love it here. I originally made an mbin account but then 9 months ago mbin seemed to die so I made a new fedia.io account and things have been going swimmingly so far.

A few days ago I noticed that fedia.io pages have been loading increasingly slowly. All I am wondering is where the best magazine/online place/other forum I can check is to see if there are any issues happening on fedia.io or anything that might be responsible for the slowed performance.

I can't just search "Is fedia.io down" like I would with other online resources. Any help or steer towards more appropriate places for me to ask this question would be much appreciated.

 

The only group that's ever accepted me and has welcomed me without doing that so far has been my local drama group (and, of course, this place :) ). There, it seems my "Golden retriever" energy is always welcomed and in fact valued. What's been your experience?

 

I'm talking about things like:

most realistic physics most aesthetically pleasing sea most fun to play most immersive (pun intended (I'll sea myself out)) most activities available at sea most variety of sea going vessels

Games with impressive seas that I've played so far:

Assassin's Creed Odyssey (Triremes and heaving seas) Just Cause 3 (Sparkling blue mediterranean seas) Sea of Thieves (Monsters and pirates) Sailwind (Gentle seas and actual sailing mechanics) Silent Depth 2 Pacific (Sneaky WW2 subs) Cold Waters (Sneaky modern subs) Uboat (Beautiful WW2 seas, rare shooting opportunities) Subnautica (Thalassophobia and crafting)

I've also noticed that Ships at Sea has just gone on sale. If you've played it recently was it any good?

I also need to add Fluffy Sailors which I bought today. So cute and so much fun :)

 

It's such an overcrowded genre isn't it? I mean it's ridiculous how many top down games there are out there... I've played so many now, they just blend into each other.

Are there any top down games that do something different (or the same but really really well). For example, my last really positive experiences with this format were Desperados 3 and Shadow Gambit The Cursed Crew.

 

and why?
