Baggie

Persona 3 DLC.

Not so much stuck, more the game is just so dry. I like what story is there, and the gameplay is good, but 95% of it is the same dungeon crawling. While I like the dungeon crawling, it really does need the social element persona games usually have to balance it out and provide some downtime.

Concrete goals, and reasonable steps to achieve them.

I feel like lately we've hit a weird speculative investment period in tech, where we have a bunch of tech that's created because it can be, but not because it's needed. Do LLMs, crypto currency, or NFTs have actual uses? Very possibly, but nothing concrete enough to satisfy the bubble that formed from them.

We live in an age of unreality. Give us something achievable and genuine, we get excited. It doesn't have to be complicated, just real. Hell, I'm excited as fuck over solid sodium batteries, and that's boring as shit.

I'm not really sure. I wanted to develop games, I left the idea behind because I needed income and at the time it wasn't really an industry worth pursuing. Now it's easier than ever to make games, but the market is oversaturated. Also my current industry is dying and I'm just kind of bored? So it's going alright. Can't say I regret it, can't stay I'm happy either.

I legit have never been more happy to be unemployed.

Oh that could totally work actually with the parabolic reflector. I'm not sure about the leds, I think there might be a lense involved in the phone to direct the flash to a certain radius. It didn't reverse the image or anything so the focal point must be at the lense itself. Anyway, I'm sure with some messing around we could get such a batsignal torch.

Probably too diffuse still, you would need a focal point in front of the bulb for it to cast a recognisable shadow I think? Because the reflective dish would be bouncing light at all angles around the stencil, including inside the intended shadow. You need something exclusively pointing light in a focused beam.

The flashlight on my phone seems to be a pretty decent for this kind of thing, so whatever led and design that's got going on could work.

I know you're being glib but I hope you live friend

I don't hate the technology, I hate that I cannot chose where and when to use it. Consent is quite important.

God I hope so, but the next thing will likely be even more stupid than this, NFTs and crypto.

I agree with this. We already have a situation where we don't have feasible alternatives to the primary method, Google search comes to mind. With Linux, even if every company in the world goes down, nerds will still want to play with the technology.

I had nitro riders in my childhood, it's a pain to get it up and running these days but the nostalgia is worth it.

Oh for sure, I was kind of meaning the whole concept of worth and how we've become this weird cult of potential worshipping tech priests, but yes also that.
