Thanks man I'll take that into account and try and make it as modular as possible so I don't get stuck with unfixable spaghetti code. Gemini gave me a timeline of about 6 months for a polished commercial 30 min early access demo with 10 hours a week of development; hopefully I can hit that. Are you still working on a game yourself? I vaguely remember you talking about getting back into game design recently

It seems like you're an artist and you make some cool stuff on X — I can understand the frustration of feeling under-appreciated for your efforts. Some of that disgust toward marketing might actually be sour grapes though: resentment toward people who are getting recognized because they figured out how to communicate their value effectively. Marketing is mostly effective communication at scale. You can do it honestly or dishonestly like anything else as well as learn it and get better at it like anything else. There is some art to marketing but a lot of it is brute force and utilizing bias in human psychology to make people interested in what you have to offer. It can be a bit low brow for sure but the alternative is few people noticing or caring about what you produce so it's a bit of a necessary evil.

Yes it's an ideology in a box with a lot of the deepest truths baked into it. If you don't have a belief system based on loved and unity you can turn pretty selfish and wicked that part is accurate. There is a massive amounts of prophecy and truths baked into christianity though especially stuff surrounding Israel and wars that we see play out today. The jury is still out if a christ like figure will come to unite the world though who knows.

I agree porn is a fascinating category of creativity. Some people really have the courage to do some wild stuff out there, props. The craziest to me is insect porn idk how people do that. How so? Sounds like you have a big shadow around sexuality to me.

Took about a 6 month break from development due to lack of motivation and working on projects and also ended up moving to montreal. That should be a massive W since it's one of the video game development capitals of the world. Went to the Unity montreal headquarters a couple of weeks ago for a meetup event that was kinda cool. Here's the first official devlog! The first step of the game will be to make a fast paced 2d roguelite with a progression system that slowly builds into the web 3 mmorpg framework I eventually wanna end up with.

Confidence is one thing just be careful with it turning to ego and then getting too in your head and not approaching anyone. I've recommended that you start doing cold approaches regularly to build up the skill and muscle; have you started yet? You can look at the game global website it has group chats in every major city to find wingmen to go out with you as well.

In what way was he green at all whatsover? Seems like he was using his us against the people spiel to empower himself in a stage orange way and didn't really deeply embody stage green values at all let alone stage yellow. Ala Andrew Tate trying to bask himself in a veil of morality and turning muslim as soon as he got into hot waters for being a rapist

Yeah it's fair to find your comfort model. I like Gemini the best. I just started playing around with Claude. It's way more argumentative than Gemini so that's good for pushing intellectual boundaries. It can also be installed directly on your computer to play with your files directly which freaks me out a bit so I won't do that for now but I'm sure it's useful.

I don't think you understand much about spirituality. You're like a dude that opened up a fortune cookie and ran with it. Your actions are how you interact with reality. Just like you're choosing to write dumb shit and I'm choosing to call you out on it. The judgement is whether it aligns with your goals or not. OP did not want to have people with unhealthy habits in her life. Some people do and they would consider smoking good or smoking crack good. If you want to die early and not build anything meaningful in your life beyond fleeting dopamine then you might call that good as well. To call this wise is very low level cognition IMO.

For sure. This forum and spiritual/stage green communities tend to demonize stage orange but it's hard to accomplish much without it. Don't worry about one a day but a few a week is a good start. It's about the habit of inputing yourself in the world. On what to post depends on what you're good at and what you enjoy. Feel free to elaborate on that and I can give more feedback. A good start is posting good pictures of yourself or scenery around your city and writing a cool bio on it. For feels I would start just like the way Leo has been doing it lately, just pick a subject to talk about and talk on it for 30 seconds to 2 mins. You shouldn't worry too much about what you're putting out right now(nothing illegal and too unhinged obviously) but just getting out of your head and posting is the goal even if it's unrefined and/or boring for now. Social media is your gateway to the 8 billion other people in the world whereas you probably know and engage with less than 150 people on a yearly basis. I'm a hard introvert and when I tell people they don't believe me just because I host cool events and have group chats with hundreds of people in them. Little do they know I still stay in my room most of the time and get anxious when out for too long.

Fable 5's greatest leap forward is agentic workflows. They can work for hours up to days apparently. Agents usually lose coherence quite quickly so they aren't able yet to be a reliable employee. The original version of it Mythos is apparently great at finding zero day exploits and basically can be set to hack random software en masse which is why Project Glasswing was established.

I think you hit the nail on the head of why breaking an addiction is so difficult. At some point it becomes a tool for emotional regulation and control. I never got into cigarettes for too long just about a month but I vaped for years. I get the part that it becomes a lifestyle first thing you do when you get up and last thing you do when you go to bed. I think the elephant analogy works well here where the elephant still clings to the rope that stopped him when he was a child but he could break in an instant as an adult. I'm sure there was a reason that you picked up the habit in the first place. What do you think it's doing for you now if anything? There is a reason that you keep doing it or perhaps you're the grown elephant now that doesn't get much out of it and can just snap out of it with some mindfulness. I think there are legitimate reasons to pick up an unhealthy coping mechanism like if you're in a shitty job and most of the peace you get in life comes from your controlled smoke/vaping breaks. Its perhaps possible to deal with it without it but right now the priority is paying the bills and not having a nervous breakdown for example. Even after that time of life is done though people generally keep the habit out of comfort. For me the worst one is weed. It became my comfort zone and when quitting I would get random longing for it if I saw a nice balcony or even a nice sunset I would be like damn it would be nice to smoke here. I would feel scared to enjoy life without my comfort zone. I'm still in it now but realizing more and more that I can enjoy life just the same high or not and I'm starting to allow myself to enjoy moments sober I would've only enjoyed high previously. Perhaps it's the same for you

Smoking is inhaling carcinogens for stress relief because you don't have any other healthy coping mechanisms put in place. People want to feel an end to their suffering and there is usually a quick way to do that or a more consciousness and more durable way. You conflating the two is a lack of spiritual understanding i.e. spiritual bypassing.

Did you tell him that and did he say he would work on it or dismiss it? It's not crazy to want to be with people with positive health habits if you want to spend a long time with them. As I said my mom passed away from complications related to smoking as well as I have a family friend who did quit smoking a few years ago because his doctor told him you have to quit or you will die soon. It ruins lives. I'm confused how is this related? Use protection and only have sex with people who are tested if you're scared of STDs. Smoking in the US alone kills half a million people per year it's not really a close argument.

Gaslighting is rewriting truth to fit your agenda. Smoking leads to massive increases in cancer and lowering of life quality as you get age. My mom died partly due to health complications due to smoking. It's a toxic habit with real consequences. If you're here to argue that human suffering is inconsequential and it doesn't matter if people are in pain and hurting their life quality then I will go right back to calling your argument insane my friend on top of you are clearly spiritually bypassing.
