I was talking with Leo today about using AI to make video games and he didn't believe AI would be that helpful so here is my devlog to prove otherwise! I have been ideating this world building project for around 4 months now and mainly using AI for generative images and lore building but I fundamentally wanna make a game out of it as I think that medium is more powerful than something like just a manga or an anime which I do also plan on making eventually. I don't have experience in game development, my main related skills would be in marketing and content creation. I tried my hands at unity a couple months ago and it was I mean not too bad but really frustrating and I got as making this square on the blue background that you see below but it was a very empowering feeling. I really like this video that I watched here That basically warns you about trying to take on an overly ambitious game project and making your dream game right away and instead trying to ship modular projects that work and are profitable and build upon that over years to eventually build your dream game. I like this idea especially as my dream game is a VR web 3 MMORPG, and mmos are notoriously hard to build but I want particularly one with a well developped economy that ties into the real world so I think that will encounter even more novel issues. My current idea is to make a simple 2D roguelite game as a MVP test project and build upon my ideas from this foundation. I think it's possible to bootstrap by myself with just mostly my time and a few hundred dollars of budget in tools to kick things off. I'm gonna use the Unity engine as it's free for startups and seems like a powerful engine both to make the 2D version of the game and eventually transfer the game assets to VR. I think there is a very powerful feedback look that's able to be utilized these days where you take on a project and document yourself building the game(in this context but can be anything) and that serves as your initial userbase and community to launch the game when it's ready. I've followed a few people that did it this way and it seems to be a very powerful way to bootstrap your own game studio basically. I used to play a lot of League of Legends and did got paid for it for a while. Made it to challenger which is top 0.01% of playerbase and that was really fun and I feel like Riot did a great job building a community in their game that was the biggest in the world at that time and I met many friends in real life that also played the game so it was a great social experience as well. I feel that they built a lot of cool stuff around their IP like the show arcane, esports world championship tournaments and local leagues but it fell short of what I think a gaming ecosystem could be. I'm a big believer in web 3 and eco investing in a gaming ecosystem with your playerbase instead of just squeezing them for cosmetics in exchange of a fun consumer experience. For example as a league player I invested something like 20 000 hours into my account, got a lot of rare cosmetics and high rank badges and emblems, spend like $2500 of my own money in the game and if I tried to sell my account it would be worth like $500 at best where as in other game ecosystems like Eve online and games like Counterstrike your time investment is translated to actual assets that are worth tens of thousands of dollars in some cases. Multiple people in different ways talk about the downfall or collapse of the gaming industry, I think it's dramatized as the profits are still there even though a lot of layoffs and downsizing are unfortunately happening in the industry but I do agree that gaming as a whole has stagnated big time. I think web 3, AI agents and VR/AR offer unique opportunities to supercharge the industry and bring it into a new era of glory. Riot Games actually ruined my favorite champion in League of Legends through a rework and thus it actually ruined a big part of my enjoyment of the game so that's also part of my motivation in wanting to develop my own game. There is a massive MMO project that just collapsed last month and I find that very sad as it was a very ambitious project that had a lot of hype in the community but it was ultimately mishandled through overambition, lack of transparency and corruption. I aim to take some of their good ideas and learn from their mistakes. There is also another game that I enjoyed playing that did operate for a while Spellbreak which was a really fun mage PvP game that ultimately fell short of its potential. I really like this mage PvP system so that's a big part of the inspiration for Legend of the Abyss that I wanna carry out. Their mistake was also making it too competitive and not casual friendly which was something that League of Legends managed to do very well. Feel free to subscribe to the Youtube channel for the project here. So far I've only posted basic character concept arts and game concepts but I want to start doing devlogs especially if I managed to build community interest around it. I think AI tools immensely empower small teams and creators to accomplish massive thing and I hope to prove it with legend of the abyss. If you have interest in helping out the project and joining the team I would totally be open to having co-founders on it!

Love Obsidian it's the top software IMO. Notion is a shady company known to sneakily charge credit cards after you try cancelling and none of their data is encrypted so they read everything you store on there.

All you named are core features of existence itself, you seem to be spiritually bypassing. Petty human goals are much deeper than you give them credit for. How many sages and mystics have managed to cure world hunger so far?

I'm sure Owen's particular psychology doesn't help him keep order in his personal relationships but let's not pretend that relationship issues are unique to autistic people lol. You don't think average people with no noteworthy psyc diagnosis deal with issues in their relationships? https://www.reddit.com/r/relationships https://www.reddit.com/r/relationship_advice/ Pick random threads and read through. After you read a bunch you'll see most relationship problems are very common. Lack of self-awareness, poor communication skills, repressed identity, lack of leadership from the man, etc.

@Shermaningeorgia It's fine for you to oppose it, it's your problem though. Complaining is based in mental illness because you don't actually achieve results you just vent frustration in thin air and some people that are at that same state of consciousness than you will relate and to others it will be really off putting and seem useless. Why do you dislike attractive women? They're literally just a part of your consciousness experiencing life in a different way than you are. In the pickup community they say get better not bitter. Getting mad will not help you get better results in life. Just make you feel better temporarily like an addict looking for a dopamine hit. It's not about sucking it up it's about identifying the issues that cause you pain and addressing them head on in an effective way.

I've thought it through considerably. To have a valuable community you need people with a similar goal and rules of socialization and engagement. Otherwise you get a shit show like 4 chan.

What were the key takeaways?

Awesome, looking forward to seeing your videos! This is some of my early content from like 11 years ago when I used to be a gamer and stream League of Legends. I'm not good at streaming since I'm an INTP it's exhausting for me but now I film more business vlog videos and influencer events.

Yes you did you complained. Complaining is literally admitting that you're powerless and can't change. Take action instead of complaining about hot women being biased.

Because you're an biological machine mostly made to fuck and reproduce mate and beautiful people around you are a proof that your tribe is successful at reproduction and you have high quality mates available to you. You're much better looking at it from a sociology/anthropology angle than just good looks, it's such a limited view of the world. Go to any popular restaurant in your city and see some beautiful people working for minimum wage, they haven't made it quite to the top of the social hierarchy yet.

Why do you need him to do it? Start a youtube channel today. Get google Gemini to help you pick 100 video topics. You will speak to the camera on each of these topics for 60 seconds to 3 minutes. Post 1 Youtube short of you doing this daily. After the end of the 3 months and 10 days your speaking ability will be much better and you will understand structure in speech and rhetoric. You will as well develop an understanding of audience and what they respond to. Start this today. Post your shorts here and in the journal section and people will give you feedback. Or procrastinate it, the power is always up to you my friend.

It's not hard to see how Donald Trump will end up becoming a huge blessing to mankind. A forest is always better after it purges its impurities. And human societies are more complex than forests. We needed to be shown grossly the flaws in the system to rally everyone towards fixing them. Donald Trump is pure in his corruption, it's beautiful to witness.

Yes and part of life is that some people are problematic and do not offer value to the greater community as a whole. Self expression comes in many forms. In real life some people express themselves with a crowbar to the head of someone they disagree with. Perhaps we shouldn't have real life moderators either? Seems like you're on a low level of consciousness to be so naive about life. We need greater moderation not less IMO.

Everything in life you know you have spent a very long time learning. You spent a lot of time learning to walk, think, read, write internet comments, get a job, etc. Existing is hard and thriving even more so. If you wan't high quality relationships with girls you're gonna have to work for it as well just like anything worth getting in this life.

Victim thinking and projecting insecurity is gross no matter who it comes from. Step up and do better, I believe in you.

God is in everyone. Why hangout with dumb people? Hangout with high quality, smart, interesting and adventurous men and women.

Went really well, people had a good time and the turnout was a little than I expected. I like having conversations with content creators, they're a mix of artists and entrepreneurs so they have many cool thoughts. Will definitely be hosting more events along these lines. The girls were pretty cool too, had a mix of tiktokers, IG model types, a restaurant owner and even an onlyfans girl.

So for those that haven't read my first social circle post here: I host events as I believe that Social circle game is the #1 dating strategy there is. It's a long term one but holistically it helps you meet both women and cool guys to do fun activities with you and also raise your attractiveness, status and access to partners. I've been a photographer for a few years and that transitionned into me hosting photoshoots and a fashion show in May. The fashion show was fun af, as its been a meme for years in the pickup community to start a modelling agency if you want hot girls and I'm actually doing it but it's the business model is extremely complicated and expensive. Ended up losing $2200 that show. The photoshoots are cheaper but have less scale. I turned my events into group chats and as a result I run creatives groups in multiple Canadian cities and am doing show in Calgary. We had the first music show August 7th and had the 2nd one this thursday! It's extremely complicated to figure out but if I had to put it in a simple concept it would be : offering value. I like the oasis metaphor for social circle game. Most humans live in a desert that is their boring and hard life and if you can make it better for them you start becoming an extremely valuable man(or women) to the people around you. Most average guys are barely surviving out here so if you can get passed that stage and start thriving in a way that also in involves other people then you start to become a top 1% man pretty quickly if not a top 0.01% one. There are many ways to look at dating but as an INTP I like to make things extremely logical as it removes the confusion for me and gives me a straight map to follow to get to my dreams. From my efforts these last few years I've gone from hitting my head against the wall to having multiple model show me a lot of interest and inviting me out to stuff out of the blue. I still am not where I want to be but the next few years are looking good. Stay tuned for the rest of my adventure and feel free to ask any questions you have on social circle game as by this point I would consider myself one of the top practitioners of it in the world and close to being a world class authority on the subject.

This guy has a cool lifestyle. He ran talent agency and now is an investor that travels the world doing cool stuff. If I could work up to this lifestyle in the next 2 years so by Summer 2028 that would be pretty cool.

The hottest women are absolutely more high maintenance than average women. It's not for every man to handle but it's a fun quest to go on. You need to have an above average lifestyle and social circle to keep them usually otherwise they have another dude that can offer more. Since I levelled up my lifestyle the attractiveness and quality of women that are into me are noticeably way higher.

Hard disagreed. Mostly when that happens it's the man failing to provide a structure for the relationship and having a solid life purpose that he takes his women with him on. A lot of men stagnate in their careers, don't have much ambition, get fat and don't have any social hobbies. It also stems from them having poor communication skills and not knowing what their women aspires to in life. What exactly do you think gaming your woman entails? A lot of it is being able to handle negative situations that occur in the relationship with poise and ability to handle stress over time. A lot of men crack under pressure and make their women handle hardships. That's failing to uphold your masculine duty and letting your woman stay in her feminine polarity. Part of game is being able to handle the world for yourself and your woman and keeping a fun and playful attitude about the hardships of life.

That makes sense, he doesn't really advocate for concrete things. A true demagogue based on reactionary rhetoric. I will give him credit for his hustler's university at least he tries to teach an actionable skillset but as I said way better business coaches that aren't violent narcissistic sociopaths that beat and rape women. https://www.reddit.com/r/Hasan_Piker/comments/w6jt5y/how_is_this_andrew_tate_video_not_more_widespread/

Andrew tate is a dangerous criminal. If you're looking to learn how to make money an influencer like Alex Hormozi is much better and if you're moreso looking for dating help then coaches like Michael Sartain and Owen cook are going to be more helpful in that regard.

lol

The US made a move to regain their place as the #1 hegemon with the attack on Iran. If China did something similar to Taiwan and destroyed their semiconductor industry it would cripple the US tech industry and although it would do something similar to China it's manufacturing is much superior to the states and would scale better over time giving them a good shot of dictating geopolitics in the next decade. It would ultimately depend on alliances with other nations as China struggles with lithography at the moment. I think they might very well kidnap some leading experts on it from Taiwan.
