If AI weren’t a part of the capitalist slop machine it could be used for indie artists to embark on bigger, more elaborate, indie projects.

For example, an artist using AI to automatically color hundreds of frames of animation at once, or to help with inking/tweening/color correction etc. The tedious shit that isn’t very fun.

But no, AI is replacing the fun stuff. The writing, the composition, the character designs. I think in the long term indie projects will continue to take off as corporate continues to morph into something homogenous and dull. It’s already happening.

This is rad as hell

I’m researching JRPG games for an RPG Maker project I’m working on. Currently playing Linda³ for the PSX and I love it.

If anyone has any recommendations for 90’s era JRPG’s with minimal grinding/interesting battle mechanics, let me know.

I moved to Spain last spring. I have citizenship through blood tho. I love paying 50 euros to fill my grocery cart, free healthcare, and public benches.

Still getting used to the euro-racism and bafflingly terrible bureaucracy tho.

I struggle with this too sometimes. It’s worst during the winter, and I notice that my energy plummets if I stay inside and don’t get that vitamin D. Even going outside for 30 minutes during a cloudy day helps.

Vitamin b12 (only take in the morning) and vitamin D3 sups help. Avoid excess sugar.

In addition, it really depends on the job. I couldn’t do shit after working food service, but I had no problem working out when I did an office job.

I want that bulgogi bake

Normalmente uso “País Vasco” en español. Pero, no estoy consistente.

One time I was cutting onions with a mandolin slicer and I got too cocky and ended up slicing the very tip of my finger off and getting onion juice on it. It was the second most painful thing I ever experienced and I can’t imagine having your whole hand fucked up like that, no wonder she’s rolling on the ground, fuck.

P.S. FUCK ICE.

We’re in brand new territory so it’s hard to predict how things are going to play out. Also I’m a layman and I’m not as well read in theory as the other people here- but I also feel that CHUD’s are biting off more than they can chew.

This isn’t 1930’s europe. People don’t live in villages and get their news from one newspaper or a guy screaming it on a corner. Word of atrocities gets around near instantaneously and while things have been a slow burn for decades now the execution of two white people in the street seems to be snapping libs out of their comfort zones. I left the USA last year but I still keep track of my former local subreddit (My friends live 20 minutes from the border :/ ) and the mood has gone from “Oh, don’t overreact, you’ll be fine.” to “We need to build an armed militia right now, here is a list of guns I recommend.” and “Eat shit Dems, let’s go physically harass our politicians”.

I recommend lutris for that. I use it for my pirated games and it preloads the necessary configuration automatically.

All my best therapists were matronly lesbians in their 50’s who imparted wisdom and kindness while also taking no shit if I started to spiral and lash out. A great therapist guides you through tough feelings, then eases you out of them by the end of the session.

Also I prefer to avoid younger therapists in general because they tend to be afraid of pushing through hard emotions.

Hehe monke funny 🙈🙈🙈

Former scribe here. I left the job for unrelated reasons, but it was being pushed on doctors hard (final straw for my doc, he switched hospitals)

LLM for scribing is radically stupid because it can only catch words, and not emotions. Sometimes the patients themselves don’t even know how to describe their symptoms- or the patient focuses on something non serious over a very serious symptom. “Yeah doc I know one of my legs gives out every 5 minutes and I’m going blind but I sneeze a lot???”

Llm’s can’t parse that, and end up making more work for the doctors by forcing them to edit all of their notes.

I like them, they’re cute. Give it a hug and enjoy your 1x labubu

Who you choose to be with, in partnerships and friendships, influences who you are as a person. If you don’t want to go back to who you were, and if they refuse to take steps to improve themselves, then that points to incompatibility.

If they can’t talk with you without breaking down- that isn’t a you problem.

Google images used to be my go to for getting reference material and now it’s worse than useless. I’ve found myself using photography books in the library again because of the amount of AI slop congesting the photo feed.

Yep. It makes it easier to stop if you get tempted too. Whenever I cheat (usually from social smoking) I get tormented by the smell of cigarettes in my beard and the awful gritty feeling in my teeth and that puts me off of resuming the habit.

Yeah no prob.

For me it feels like my blood pressure gently slows down and I feel more relaxed overall. It’s not a high feeling, more like a big sigh before you let your muscles relax after a long day.

For a panic attacks it feels like it drags me back to center. The adrenaline stops pumping and I just feel a little tired.

It can cause light headedness and I prefer to take it before bed as needed. It gets rid of the background anxiety when I take it regularly.

The medication can cause low blood pressure, and it’s stronger after you initially take it. Last week I took a dose after being out for 2 weeks and I ended up falling down because my blood pressure was too low. My ankle gave out and I just… flopped over instead of correcting myself lol.

I am also on 40mg - 80mg and most people start at 10mg or 20mg so ymmv The side effects level off after a week or two. Just be sure to stand up slowly and avoid taking it before using heavy machinery.
