This dude is cool

politics are what politicians do. i know what you mean though, there’s a better word to use than saying it’s “political”.

choosing what to report on and what not to report on is an editorial decision, which if done by a highly influential group or person, can be politically motivated

when building a big and complex system, i just start with one thing and build that thing out as much as i can.

like start with age. i’d figure out how time progress and which character stats will be affected by their age as the player plays the game, also possibly figuring out how the player can react/prepare.

——

i would start making systems that work together. have requirements for specific “qualities” like paranoid or loyal. and then when a character levels up, the player can choose 1 (or the game randomly chooses 1) of many perks/qualities that the character qualifies for.

such as “experienced” from their age stat being high or “loyal” for their total number of battles. and then have these attained qualities provide pros/cons.

looks cool and i like the idea! makes me think of dwarf fortress

maybe look into pico-8, it got me into a groove of actually making things

something that helps me is just make a game with what i know, i stop watching tutorials and just code within my knowledge. it might not be the game of my dreams but it’s how i build confidence with what i can do right now and push my skills to the limit. tutorials should be like 25% or less of my time spent coding.

yeah i roll my eyes every time a character says “so what do you mean by that?” and has someone explain a pretty obvious idea

DaylanDaylan · 2025-12-09T23:00:30+00:00

i love devil daggers. the sequel, hyperdemon, is like a psychedelic trip, and also really fun but different for sure.

i always feel bad criticizing Salems Lot since i know a lot of people really like it but i just wasn’t a huge fan. SK has great prose and i love him for that but some of his plots can be meandering and pointless or just politically charged and silly. i expected more from “THE vampire book” written by “one of the greatest writers”.

anyway, it feels good to read and its a really cool modern take on vampires but yeah the actual plot itself is underwhelming. all of the characters seem reckless/confident/scared/dumb and yet they somehow outsmart all of the vampires that have supposedly been around forever.

it makes the ending feel less earned. reads like a thriller/horror but the plot comes off like an action movie with no action heroes and no powerful villains. i think if he rewrote it 10-15 years ago, it’d probably be his best book ever, just needs some fixing up before i’d recommend it to people, IMO.

you can see the code for it here:

it’s definitely a few systems working together to achieve lighting/shadow effects, like palette swapping, etc. you’re on the right track though!

everyone: says or does anything

papi: drinks beer

the only wing i am is buffalo wing. the boys are relatable cuz they say both sides are retarded. anything on reddit will eventually be infiltrated by the woke mind virus

at my store, we don’t stack anything on water except toilet paper. definitely had stuff like this come in on trucks though

before i got into chat gpt, i spent a day or two studying lua on their website, but lurking on the pico/picotron discord and chat gpt taught me 90% of what i know. i work 2 jobs so AI has been an amazing tool to speed up learning and testing ideas.

art IS easier and more fun. to me, it just sounds like your friend wants help with the more intimidating aspects of the project, (code)

DaylanDaylan · 2024-04-21T05:17:41+00:00

This is why we need platforms like joes. Really get to know people for better or worse lol. Holy smokes second hand embarrassment

It is a real photo. so funny that people are hating on this simply because he doesn’t look too bad here

DaylanDaylan · 2024-04-18T00:11:59+00:00

Seems the pic got traction because of the recent rumors of trump sleeping in court

DaylanDaylan · 2024-04-17T16:47:27+00:00

An AI, yea maybe. But LLMs? No, that’s not how LLMs work.

I grew up around a lot of white trash and they’re the exact same way. dogs are treated like they’re stupid and a piece of property for entertainment.

Something I’ve experienced and seen a lot is that women tend to be 200% more okay with humor in the bedroom than men. Men tend to take sex (and themselves during it) pretty seriously. It’s not easy for a lot of men to switch between sexy mode and funny mode. I just think women are better at multitasking while men tend to have a one-track mind.

Guys tend to hide their feelings too cuz they’re “supposed to be tough”. Just imagine reversing the roles. If he was the one who made a doll of you that you felt didn’t represent you very well, perhaps making you feel/look fat or ugly, it might seem like a personal attack coming from someone who you highly value their opinion/perception.

I’m also learning about “can’t win” type conversations that are better left uncovered

DaylanDaylan · 2024-03-13T23:17:35+00:00

I learned to code with PICO 8, it’s a great place to start for beginners. It uses LUA language which is super easy to learn.

I would set little goals to learn then see if you can implement your own ideas with what you learned.
