Delulu. Enjoy the fantasy, I'll see you back at work on monday.

Good luck! I am also working on an indie game at the moment. I use AI a lot to think through problems before I go implementing them. But I must admit it's led me astray plenty of times. Claude can be so confidently wrong and reaffirming. It will often present a solution to a problem that kind of works but is inflexible and doesn't sit with the rest of your game's architecture. For educational things like: What is a State Machine? it's fantastic. But for 'how do I get my enemies to do specific behaviors using a state machine in Unreal Engine' it starts to fall apart. I'm considering dropping AI altogether for complex problem solving. Visual scripting with blueprints in Unreal is perfect for me. I can contribute to the project without having to open a fucking IDE (hell). I would have to use AI heavily to write code as an untrained programmer. Hopefully Unity has some version of that you can use?

I like the old style.

They're just jealous they're not coming to the cookout. Who's turn is it to bring the ascension juice? And we need to find a new island, the last one is a no-go.

Well, it's not. People misremember things all the time. And your memory is always colored by your current mood and situation. Consistency is an illusion.

Used to be popular when I was growing up in Aus. Never see it anymore. Except maybe in little fish and chips shops. I always thought it was the same thing as root beer.

Could be a 5 second video. You're a leaf in the wind, deal with it.

Obvious bs Or so intoxicated by self-help swagger and green juice he doesn't even realize he's been sick

Just seeing the name of his channel 'Hoe Math' is enough to see this guy is a cooker. Gender wars are stupid.

Nobody except the insider traders know. For the rest of us there are no safe investments. Just various degrees of grey and greyer risk. You'll have to come up with a strategy yourself based on how you think the market will grow over x years. Use your head - what will certainly have grown in x years?

I'm lucky to live there. But unless we make a significant investment in new cities and infrastructure the country is doomed to rot. But investments like that are not cost effective anymore. Our cost of living is already too high. So here we are, stuck in stagnation.

There is a time and a place for both. Don't get too romantic about 'doing it for real'. Things like gun shots and explosions are just safer in CGI. Directors like Chris Nolan always pipe on about SFX, but directors don't know fuck all about effects. They know story and actors. There is so much invisible VFX done like background replacements and beauty work that if taken away would destroy the film.

Earlier in this thread, I said a coalition of countries needed to unite and push back against the US's ever-increasing greed and disrespect of international law. Well, the middle powers have risen. @LordFall The monopoly on power has been rejected. The world has asked for healthy competition between middle powers, where international law and sovereignty is respected. Not an empire like the US, which become decadent, greedy, and then finally mad. As we have seen.

Only if you're the one holding the stick. And all monopolies must eventually crumble. Can you imagine the destruction if a super-monopoly was to die? Your comment reeks of American exceptionalism.
