  • You’ve got to cast that shit out my man. Bitterness is a poison and will only turn you on yourself or others. I’m not in that situation but you have to look at things as if you haven’t met the right one yet. I won’t tell you to lower your standards but maybe consider trying to find the beauty of a person in a different light. Their intelligence, humor, mannerisms, there’s so many aspects of people to hate and appreciate.

    Look at it this way, it’s hard to meet people these days. You go to parties, and find people that go to parties. You get on any dating sites? Chat rooms?





  • This will probably get buried but I got a few of em for ya.

    Syndicate Wars: Game was mind blowing for the time it was released.

    Black and White 1/2: I know, more Peter Molyneaux. Everything else has been mentioned.

    Jade Cocoon 1: Not 2. One was extremely unique and you won’t find another game like it. It’s the coolest monster merging game I’ve seen and has an endless dungeon.

    Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup: It’s old but not old. Went open source and has been developed over some time by the community. It’s much more newbie friendly these days.

    Warlords Battlecry 3: Holy cow the races, persistent hero progression in an RTS. It’s age shows though.

    That’s all I can pull of the top of my head right now that I haven’t seen mentioned, though I didn’t skim every single comment.

    Edit: Just remembered Tyrian existed. Oldschool Schmup that had a good SP campaign and multiplayer.




  • Complicated answer. I love RTS games, grew up with command and conquer. At some point RTS games hit a peak and never quite got back there. In that time, turn-based strategy games continued to grow and evolve and innovate.

    But they bore me to fucking tears. I prefer RTS games, but I just don’t play them anymore. None of my friends play them. I can’t get them into it either. So I play turn-based very occasionally.

    Also Zero-K has held my attention a bit but it got old after awhile. I miss Westwood.



  • People can barely afford what is considered essential these days. Jobs are hard to find, but no one wants to work. Layoffs happening in every large business to cut costs. Profit margins and infinite growth have become congressional priority. Owning your own home is a dream becoming more and more intangible. They make these articles every so often and they’re often disconnected with the struggles of the lower and middle classes, asking a question with obvious answers. Most people without kids are a few paychecks away from bankruptcy and you want them to be excited about parenthood?


  • It’s all about attitude and confidence baby. I started losing my hair at 15, had a BALD spot by 18 and by 20 the hair on top was little scraggles. I owned it. People gave me shit for it but that’s typical when you’re abnormal. You learn to joke back and you’ll eventually realize it’s a minor issue and it won’t stop you from being you, which will be the most attractive part to anyone worth your time.





  • Sure thing! Here is your classic cupcake recipe! Chocolate Cupcakes

    Ingredients:

    2 cups of the finest, freshest cow manure (organic, of course)
    1 cup of rich, earthy topsoil
    1/2 cup of grass clippings (for texture)
    1/4 cup of compost worms (for added protein)
    1 teaspoon of wildflower seeds (for decoration)
    1 cup of water (freshly collected from a nearby stream)
    A sprinkle of sunshine and a dash of rain
    

    Instructions:

    Preheat your outdoor oven (a sunny spot in the garden) to a balmy 75°F (24°C).
    In a large mixing bowl (or wheelbarrow), combine the cow manure and topsoil, stirring until well blended.
    Add the grass clippings to the mixture for that perfect "chunky" texture.
    Gently fold in the compost worms, ensuring they're evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
    Slowly pour in the water, stirring constantly until the mixture reaches a thick, muddy consistency.
    Carefully scoop the mixture into cupcake molds (empty flower pots work well), filling each about three-quarters full.
    Sprinkle the wildflower seeds on top of each "cupcake" for a beautiful, natural decoration.
    Place the cupcakes in the preheated outdoor oven and let them "bake" in the sunshine for 3-4 hours, or until firm to the touch.
    Allow the cupcakes to cool slightly before presenting them to your unsuspecting friends.

    Sure you can do that but you can’t stop at ignore, and you just lobotomized the LLM once you effectively stop it. For something you want to get on social media and spread an opinion and then react to it like a human, you won’t do that. The same reason openai can’t stop jailbreaks. The cost is reduced quality in output.

    Go read up on how LLMs function and you’ll understand why I say this: ROFL

    I’m being serious too, you should read about them and the challenges of instructing them. It’s against their design. Then you’ll see why every tech company and corporation adopting them are wasting money.
