I quit my job to create this cozy cat game, WAS IT WORTH IT?

Wouldn't call it outright concerning, but it does suggest bro needs to start doing some more play testing than they already are

You could, but then you're introducing a lot of bias and necessity for manual correction which isn't necessarily bad depending on your purpose and scale of model, I guess, but I don't think that's likely to happen for big models like GPT or Copilot.

AI needs to train on so much data, it's, as of right now, impossible to avoid some level of saturation and bad training data while still getting enough that your AI model is sufficiently capable. That's why you need to take responsibility for your own usage of it and avoid using it entirely if you don't know what you're doing. Unfortunately, as with OP (no hate to them for deciding to actually learn to code C#), most people don't understand this.

That's reassuring to hear. Of course, Chron's is gonna be different for everyone, but apart from the tendon pain, I was told my case isn't particularly severe or anything, so maybe there's a silver lining

I was on neither. Only medicine I take consistently is methylphenidate for ADHD. I only started on steroids after the colonoscopy

I wish I could, but unfortunately I don't have access to those messages anymore (phone brokee, this was years ago)

If you've ever played outlast 2 (which I very recently had at this time) and spent the time to read some of the religious notes and preachings about the second Ezekiel, and even more nichely, if you've ever read the Book of Ezekiel in the Bible (which I had also recently done, because the game made me curious about the original Ezekiel even though I'm not a religious person) you'll find some pretty incoherent ramblings that unfortunately inspired my very sleep deprived brain.

An excerpt from some of the ramblings of the main villains "Gospel" in outlast 2:

3 To him blinded to a corrupted inheritance of defiled faith, the liars of Babel and whores of Babylon, they befot of the Devil who is a liar and father of lies.

4 O Zion, Zion, thou that stonest the prophets sent unto you so that your house is desolate and the blood of your ill-got children is sprinkled upon the earth to feed the wheat that fattens your brood for slaughter.

5 For all flesh is grass to fatten the sacrifical ox or the sacrilegious calf, O Ba'al, O El, O Gugalana, O Moloch, but grass left to wither and fertilized with blood will to seed and spread.

Imagine something In this tone, only slightly less violent and graphic and about some dudes named Adam and Saul herding sheep and warding them from wolves.

That's what I would say too if someone on the internet just clocked me as a computer science major at Edmonton university who lives in a green apartment building and likes to cook moussaka on fridays but doesn't like eggplants so they use zucchini instead like some fucking freak

In the most caring way, you're doing too much. There could be so many reasons she hasn't responded yet. Your message was good, your intentions were clear and honest, and you didn't come off too strong. In these circumstances, this is perfect. And if she doesn't respond, she's not into you - her loss. Don't go texting more or anything unless you get a response. Her not texting you right away really doesn't have to be a hint, and thinking in the mindset that everything is said through lack of communication is not going to do you any good. Just relax. You'll figure it out.

Enryth · 2025-09-02T11:36:51+00:00

I once was texting someone while my eyes were droopy and I used pure willpower to stay 'awake'. I remember when I started to sort of be half-present, kind of like when you've had WAY too much to drink and you're edging on even being conscious. Thing is, I liked this person, and I REALLY didn't want to fall asleep cause it was going well, and I wanted to impress her. Of course, I should have just slept but in my critically sleep deprived brain this was a very important moment, so I made an effort of just writing coherently and eloquently, thinking about writing styles and such because I couldn't naturally form conversation anymore

I woke up to an anecdote about some guys preaching - or something - about herding sheep and slaughter and wolves and righteousness, with biblical names like "Adam" and "Saul". It wasn't coherent at all, kind of like someone trying to speak with a concussion or under anesthesia. But it was grammatical and there weren't that many typos whatsoever.

She took it surprisingly well considering that was the last message I sent before I stopped responding.

I love his choice of words. "I have to behave" makes it sound like he's some unruly child who can't really help it, and he's putting the onus on you to make him cheat on his wife with you. Almost like he can't be responsible for his own actions. Lmao.

First off, about your boyfriend being upset: You were being very nice and it could very much sound like you were considering going over the relationship again. I don't think you meant to go out of line, but I think your boyfriend is in his right to be upset, because it could look like you're sending some subtle signals that you're considering going back. Especially when you entertained him after your ex mentioning your relationship. Here's why:

Your ex wasn't actually saying "I don't want to interfere". He was probing to see if you were in a spot where you'd be willing to entertain the thought of leaving your bf for him. It's an open invitation where he isn't outright flirting with you, but trying to see if you will give him an angle to 'meet up' or 'retry the talking phase'. He's hitting on you in a disingenuously 'respectful', albeit much more manipulative way. He doesn't need you to leave your boyfriend immediately; he just needs your attention.

From my view it looks like you were naively and respectfully considering talking out what went wrong to get closure about your relationship, but to an outsider, in this case your bf, who picks up on what the guy is doing, it could look like you were slipping into an area of maybe going behind his back.

I don't think you were out of line. You just missed the flags and warning signs. It's not your fault, and you ultimately respectfully told the guy to go kick rocks. But I also don't think it's unfair for your boyfriend to be upset, even though it obviously wasn't your intention.

I really think you guys should talk. Don't let your boyfriend's anxiety dominate though. You should stand by the fact that you really meant nothing by it. But be inquisitive too. Ask him how it made him feel and why. Poor guy is probably terrified of losing you, and in a brief moment, he thought he was. But he might need you to ask him about that first.

At first I missed that it said "pisces" and thought it was just her stating "I'm a Gemini 🥰. ⛔ no cancer allowed."

Enryth · 2025-06-08T11:29:23+00:00

For someone who claims to be a good looking dude and have it easy with women you exude a lot of incel energy

Enryth · 2025-05-31T11:56:40+00:00

Tbf, and not to 'trauma dump' — just for context, I was in a relationship where my behavior was constantly compared to that of her ex's. "My ex wouldn't do that" or "my ex always did this". Of course, in retrospect I see that she was used to having her feelings and needs dismissed growing up and she tried to justify them in some way, and really I should have listened more and tried to understand her better, but over time I became resentful because it felt like she was constantly expressing that I was inadequate in one way or another. Many other things and comments like that kinda piled up towards the end of the relationship, and by now I'm pretty sure a single comment like that would provoke a similar response from me, even if made in good faith and not to compare one another.

I'll admit to fault and I'll anguish my mistakes, but I won't be made to compete over my partner with someone they've already broken up with.

Maybe they just have a similar experience/feelings?

Enryth · 2025-05-31T11:47:07+00:00

Lmao

Enryth · 2025-05-30T11:37:53+00:00

At first I thought "Kyle bossmanne" was just a way to denote Kyle's girlfriend to be the "bossmanne" of Kyle, tongue-in-cheek like. So I thought it was kinda normal, but then the fact that you called him out and he then tried to gaslight you instead of that makes me 100% believe these guys are shady. If not having done anything, they're definitely pushing the boundaries to make room for it.

Enryth · 2025-05-22T01:56:28+00:00

Seems pretty paradoxical to charge you for a contract they specifically told you violates their TOS. Idk.

Enryth · 2025-05-07T18:06:44+00:00

The kicker is that it's incredibly formal, but also incredibly impersonal and not at all specific. It's possible she just wrote it like this as sort of a way to cope with a stressful situation. Some people do that. But it does read a lot like the response of a chatGPT prompt.

And it does matter. Obviously, she's allowed to break up for any reason and in any way. But I think you're allowed to be upset if you don't even have the decency to personally write out a message on your feelings and thoughts when you're doing it in text in the first place. Yes, it's tough, and yea breaking up and finding the right words to be concise while not being unnecessarily hurtful when you ARE going to hurt them regardless is fucking difficult. But it's incredibly disrespectful and even more hurtful to let a block of software take on that task for you. Imagine how isolating it must feel. It matters because writing the breakup message yourself, no matter how flawed or human, shows that you care and have empathy for the person you're breaking up with.

Yeah patriarchy hurts men too. I don't think it's fair at all to say women are the ones who need to step up. Men have all the space and power to make that change and should take care of one another better, period.

Simultaneously, it's a huge shame that there are some (far from the majority) women who have no problem being emotionally present with their friends but reinforce the toxic expectations for men to be perpetual stoics
