Our cats use it to beg for treats. Very rarely do I see them on it and not meowing for attention.

It’s valid, and it sucks. If you can even do $5, it’s worth it. But the world is absolutely against you right now. A lot of older folk don’t quite get how bad it’s gotten.
However, saving a dollar today is worth more than saving two dollars ten years from now. And having an emergency fund might actually save your life.
Hopefully something happens to shake up housing. These prices are absolutely criminal.
If I hadn’t saved, I probably would be dead right now. The US doesn’t really do healthcare or mental care, and I no longer can sustain myself. Long COVID is a bitch and doctors usually ignore it.
But if you’re banking on never having an emergency, go for it. There’s a balance to hit, at least in less developed countries like the US.
And of course that’s where the trail ends until it’s vetted enough to move forward.
Nice to see it kind of laid out. Still don’t know how to get past the hurtle of my brain no longer working, but maybe I can still do it… Just slowly.
There are games I want to make. I caught long COVID and barely had energy for my job. I decided now that I got laid off for having an invisible disability, I can learn how to make games while I can’t get a new one, but I’m having issues thinking long enough to learn… I’ve almost started my game and that’s where I’m stuck.
My parents.
Because if you’re poor, it’s because Jesus is punishing you for something. (This is a slight exaggeration of the mindset.)
For showing my point I like the joke that was made of the pastor in Katrina turning down help from the coast guard three times because God will save me, then drowning, getting to the pearly gates and asking why he wasn’t saved. The response was “I tried three times. You didn’t get on any of the helicopters I sent to save you.” There are direct parallels to religious figures claiming God will save them from COVID and not wearing masks or getting vaccines or anything, then dieing of COVID not months later. And those weren’t jokes. They were in the news…
Religion is taught very poorly here in a lot of places, and it’s very predatory in a lot of the US. Any religious television here is only a scam.
Sounds like anywhere in VA that isn’t Alexandria or Tyson’s Corner.
A game with the time travel self interaction and self saving mechanics of Super Time Force Ultra. Doesn’t have to be a side scroller. Bonus points for getting multiplayer to work reasonably. I’ve been theorycrafting ways to do multiplayer like this for years (and ultimately most of it feels disjointed in theory so IDK). I’ve only seen one super low budget game using this mechanic (as a main game mechanic, not a side puzzle like the Ratchet and Clank time puzzles) and the reviews weren’t great.
I’ve been considering mixing it with 5D Chess with Time Travel mechanics and Advance Wars gameplay as a proof of concept and see how far that gets me… But I don’t have time or energy to work on it after work…
Reminds me of Majesty a little, but with a direct avatar. Majesty was fun, but is pretty dated. Didn’t really have the morale aspect, but that sounds interesting. I’ll have to see if I can find MLaaK to try out.
Roguelike A Kid in King Arthur’s Court with sandwiches being the witchcraft. I’d play it.
I mean, edutainment exists. It’s just rarely good.
The term “frenching” is also a culinary term that means preparing food for even cooking and to make it visually appealing.
Not only is this not obsolete, it’s close to biographical as it closely references the first and second Artificial Intelligence Winters. The first being in the 60s. We’ve been working on these for a long time, so 5 years is short. It took until GPGPU to kick into full gear and some clever insights to get Deep Learning up and running (somewhat attributed to work published in 2011) to start reliably on this problem, and even that is an oversimplification of the timeline and the scope.
Others have mentioned oddities like the difficulty of subject matter (picture contains a bird vs picture of a bird) but there are a lot harder problems that are trivial to humans and counterintuitively incredibly hard for computers.
Designing good UX is harder than designing good UI is harder than writing good code. As a machine learning engineer, I will never be able to design UX. I have made a pretty UI once though.
looks at home instance name That I hang out with furries. Still considered a more controversial thing than actually evil things in politics in my country.
An overwhelming desire to never be taken seriously by the average user.
Umm… It’s clinical, so dopamine.
Not necessarily the case, but if it’s affecting your life so strongly, you might want to get checked by a medical professional.
Long COVID can destroy your life. Depression can destroy your life. Iron deficiency can ruin your life. A lot of things you might just think is just being tired may actually have a cause. Especially if simple fixes like “touch grass” style clichés do nothing for you.
It’s not always the answer, but it’s good to rule out in that case.
