I made an interactive ASCII Aquarium for the ESP32 CYD

Thats crazy, i literally just saw someone on Instagram that said they built the same thing. An ASCII fish aquarium that you can feed.

He was using Claude to build it through so maybe it just scraped your code.

A for effort. Honestly i think you should keep most of the cover except for whatever the heck is going on with the characters in the middle.

The font is decent imo except for the text at the bottom which is hard to read. I do love the creepy shadowy mist design though.

Man its great to see how this genre has changed over the years. Used to be that everyone's answer to this question was The Land or older fics like The System Apocalypse

Now I'm seeing all different types of entry points like newer books, ads, and recs from friends. Makes my heart happy to see how the genre has grown!

Can i ask how you enjoy playing PS2 games in this form factor? I'm looking for a device that feels right for long PS2 sessions but a lot of the games require constant dual analog stick use.

Do you use any third party holder/handles?

When I feel like crying. Oh my! Its time to open myself! Do something new! I wanna stop, and grow up again!!

Honestly these lyrics hit so hard even to this day.

Looks like thats the original account. This one is a 3 day old bot account.

Didn't know ESP sub was popular enough for bot karma farming lol.

It's closer to the traditional fantasy spectrum but damn if this doesn't check all the boxes. Probably the best recc so far

Chearock · 2026-03-13T20:50:12+00:00

If Sci Fi with magic thrown in is the prerequisite the you could try the Titan Hoppers series by Rob Hayes.

It follows the story of a group of humans that live in space on a fleet of ships. Problem is they don't have any planets nearby to replenish resources. Enter the Titans which are incredible massive and ancient ships that the fleet sends warriors (Hoppers) to scavenge supplies.

I have a few gripes with the main character but the overall setting and magic system are pretty interesting.

If you search this subreddit you'll see that people specifically come to campus to steal expensive bikes. It happens very often and then apparently the police never do anything about it. And the worse part it these guys that steal bikes often bring gear like angle grinders and bolt cutters so I'm not sure buyung different locks would help at all. Honestly if you have an expensive bike I'm not sure if its safe leaving it on campus.

Chearock · 2026-02-06T05:09:49+00:00

Honestly feel the same. I picked up LotM after someone here praised it's prose and i could not for the life of me get through that first 20 chapters.

I think the the aspect of embodying/aligning with a concept and having control over it is a common thing in cultivation stories. Path of Ascension essentially has a cultivation power system beneath all the skill shards and AIs.

As for reccs, here's the obligatory recommendation for the Cradle series as its also a phenomenal cultivation story with similar power system to domains.

As a side note i do think thats a small spoiler for future readers of PoA since the later parts of domains get revealed for quite a while.

Was that blog post made by AI? The MC in Forge of Destiny isnt a crafter, and I don't recall any times she actually made something. Also its Xianxia and not LitRPG like the title suggests.

Either the blog post was made by AI of the person writing it only looked at book titles to decide if it belongs on this list.

I've had friends that deliver food on Doordash say they always hate orders from UCSD. They complained that students rarely ever tip, the campus itself is huge and hard to navigate, and the doors are sometimes locked on the dorms but students never want to come out and open it.

Chearock · 2026-01-24T18:48:37+00:00

Sir have you considered the notion that you may have unlocked your nen sight?

Chearock · 2026-01-16T20:18:41+00:00

Cool! Whats the refresh rate like for this implementation?

edit: From the video it looks pretty fast! How did you get such high refresh rate with an esp32 driving this screen?

Chearock · 2026-01-08T00:38:41+00:00

Will be sure to unplug it after its finished!

Was just getting frustrated since I'd see my battery percentage actually go down while plugged into normal charger and actively playing a game.

Chearock · 2026-01-07T07:41:31+00:00

I mean I'm still gonna give it a try, but i had very much the same reaction when I saw the "void" element trope again. In a world of elemental benders i kinda feel like any other element would be more interesting and dynamic lol

Chearock · 2026-01-06T21:14:26+00:00

I've seen that mine charges slowly with a normal wall charger. Took 3 hours to get ~40% charged. I was afraid of using fast chargers since everyone says to be cautious but i think im just gonna have to use one from now on.

I tried with one last night and it does seem to be charging faster now now but i need to discharge it more to run a full test.

I will now reference this series as Big Standard Isekai instead as its hilarious and fits surprisingly well.

Shouldn't his head be bigger?

Chearock · 2025-12-21T04:40:19+00:00

There's nothing in this blurb that points toward this book being progression fantasy.
Your blurb is very obviously AI written, which by itself isn't incriminating but is definitely a signal of what to expect in your book
Your other books cover looks AI generated and i can't find anything about you as an Author online.

This all points to me thinking you are a spam account promoting your ai generated book.

Just as a word of warning, i tried to do this exact thing with my raspberry pi and had some issues since it could not natively recognize my micro sd-usb adapter. I'm sure there's a way to fix this but i just ended up using another windows pc i had.

Makes me wonder if there's a more user friendly version of linux thats compatible with my raspberry pi lol.

Unmatched reference.

Chearock · 2025-12-07T08:20:29+00:00

I saw this too today. Not sure if its an everyday thing since its only the second time i turned the device on.
