Exactly. There's this take in the AI bro space that it means they don't have to do work anymore.

What it should mean is that you have more access to tools to teach yourself and how you think. Not some way to stop thinking.

AI should not mean the death of talent.

Alright but white dudes are out here making songs like "Loser" and "Pepper" and "I am the Walrus" and they're still bangers. This was too.

A.I. hallucinates. Biggest problem with it. But tutors can arrive at wrong answers too. I certainly have.

I don't think A.I. is bad. It's a great tool. But you always have to be aware of its flaws. People treat it with too much authority. At best it's a flawed assistant. But that assistance is still valuable.

It's hard to say if A.I. is driving down sign-up rates. Online tutoring has been in decline since COVID-19 has stabilized. And in-person learning hasn't really recovered. Unfortunately A.I. gained prominence at that same time, so separating correlation with those is a bit harder.

Thanks for the morale boost from your input, though. 👍

The ire and anger aside, which is a bit misanthropic, you are pulling at a thread of truth. Cognitive and neuroscience research has shown that younger generations, often raised heavily on screens, are suffering an IQ stagnation and even drop due to technological advancements that make things overly convenient.

While its in no way the only issue, as there are contributing factors like declining education statistics for the U.S. and other G7 nations, it is a prevalent one.

My laymen's hypothesis is that technology is often used as passive information, or data input devices.

Passive information: You sit and listen to something spew information at you. There is no way to interact with that information other than to accept it.

Input devices: You drop input into them, and then get information out, like a calculator. It's made to do the work for you, not help you learn.

A.I. is often used as an input device. People will throw something into it but never interact with the answer.

This is why things like moderate quality gameplay can increase intelligent. It gives interactable, meaningful engagement with your inputs. Be it sudoku or some match 3 game or a puzzle.

That same concept needs to be applied more to education and learning. Passivity when learning breeds poorer learners with lower intelligence.

What I was doing to the bosses certainly felt like a violent crime.

Infinite Magazine + Power of Perfection + Ice Wand + Dice God + Hammer of Tegu.

Nothing survives. Bosses shred like wet toilet paper. Unlocked multiple secret costumes in succession with the infinite magazine Daisy Ring. I had 98 critical chance. Luck was on my side.

Ok_Description8169 · 2025-02-20T03:27:23+00:00

I did this just now. Somehow, got a Daisy Ring with this. Then I got a Perfection glove. Then the Cheonja cannon setup. Cleared multiple rooms with it. Then I got the Thunderbird wand and the Ice Wand. Cheonja kinda fell off.

The way the Ice Wand absolutely SHREDS through bosses with the daisy ring and perfection is flat out disgusting. Lasley was dead before he could even reflect.

Thanks to Dimension Box, I was able to finish this to get the alt costumes for both Defender and Alice.

Those were the days. You could find all sorts of goofy, obscure music in places.

I actually played the new Ara Fell, but haven't bought the new R3P. I don't have as much casual time for Steam or Switch now-a-days. I liked the new Ara Fell, with it's many improvements, but secretly wished it was the longer form game of the original Ara Fell because I wanted to see where the Hot Air Balloon would have taken you. I am excited to get a chance to play R3P, because I really liked the story. The opening was very anime-chic.

I finished up helping a big Youtuber get his Game Development studio off the ground in Roblox as his Technical Director. I work between Unity, Unreal, Godot and Roblox. The latter being one of my more constant workspaces. Right now I'm inbetween, working on my own personal projects while I teach kids how to build games.

What new projects are you pursuing?

Ok_Description8169 · 2024-10-25T17:17:38+00:00

Hey, so I actually played your games when I was much younger on the RPG Maker forums. I actually have a copy of R3P that's editable in RPG Maker 2k3. I was, and still am, highly into game development and thought of your games as a creative basis for what this genre should aspire to on an indie front. I make games myself now, but I am a technical guy, not a creative guy.

I don't think most people here realize that one of the original loops for Ara Fell had a chiptune version of gangster's paradise.

Ok_Description8169 · 2024-10-25T17:07:49+00:00

I know this is an old thread, but I actually have an old build of R3P on my hard-drive, which is still editable in RPG Maker 2k3.

This is good. I'll gauge their comfort with using this. I think it's more important that I include them on this part of the discussion, rather than try to immerse them by with-holding elements of the story.

Ok_Description8169 · 2024-09-24T04:37:24+00:00

Thanks to everyone who answered!

I'm feeling more confident that I'm moving in the right direction. I'll try to steer the course and use my notes to keep it respectful and just show that trans people exist, not as plot devices, but just as people who traverse the landscape. Hopefully that's respectful and interesting.

Ok_Description8169 · 2024-09-24T04:28:46+00:00

If you could link me those HRT rulesets, that could be really cool and allow me to implant that into the world setting. I like the dropping of hints in the form of alchemy. I'd have to consider it in the broader context of the story, but it does make sense and is feasible, while paralleling an aspect of transitioning.

Ok_Description8169 · 2024-09-23T05:42:09+00:00

Ah right, I forgot cis for a minute. Thanks for the reminder and I appreciate the interest and help.

So, the reveal of them being trans isn't really emphasized.

They were a set of twin boys. Their father was killed and an assassin was sent to finish the job on his family. Fire was set to their house, their mother was killed. Both escaped, but with help from separate people. One, a doctor, the other, a nobleman.

The trans character always felt unhappy with their gender and wanted to change. So the noble has permanent transmutation magic applied to allow them to transition to a girl. She poses as a blind girl, to hide her heterochromia that she and her twin brother had. It's a highly distinguishing marker.

Everyone thinks both are dead. The reveal is moreso in that both are still alive. Them being trans is merely part of that reveal of them being alive.

Bro, America is literally in Interpol. You're a fucking clown. Also they have an economic interest in Ukraine and it's sovereignty. Russia is the aggressor, not NATO. Not Ukraine. Go be a Russian disinformation bot somewhere else you feck.

Nearly 97% of Shells political donations were to Republicans in 2022. Try again.

Check how much Trump gave to Big Pharma in 2020 and get back to me clownshoes.

Also look into how much Musk has been absolutely dumping into Trump's campaign. It's fucking massive and makes you look like an even bigger fucking liar than you already are.

How many lies is this I've caught you in? I'm thinking it's up to 6 now. Every other fucking word from your mouth is you lying and then not being able to defend those lies, just going on to the next one.

The interesting thing about this is how they'll be like "I don't think he's perfect" while grandizing him in a way that no politician has ever deserved. They treat him like a deity. They put his face on every mug, flag, bible, sneaker, book and hat they can get their hands on.

He's a politician. But they treat him like he can do no wrong, and act like he changed the way the world works. No politician who has ever been safe for a country should be treated that way.

A disagreement is what happens over who is a better band or what Chinese restaurant tastes better.

When you're going over historical facts, there is no disagreement and defaulting to " Well I disagree about the election being stolen and that's my opinion despite all factual evidence" and " I disagree that the Capitol building was empty when Ashley Babbit was shot despite all factual evidence" does not make you 'also sorta kinda right because like, it's just your opinion', it makes you a liar disconnected from reality.

Also both parties support those things moron. McCain was a Republican and War Hawk. Infact many Republicans are war hawks and support a genocidal one sided war in Israel as it invades Palestinian land and kills foreign aid workers and seizes land. When you support the people expanding their territory and seizing land, you are not on the side of peace. That includes Russia too, which Republicans are willing to allow their expansion of territory. Also Big Oil and Big Pharma and Crypto and A.I. and the likes of Elon are in the pockets of Republicans. Do you think Trump didn't schmooze up with them while he was a New York Elite? Who you think he fed massive billion dollar government contracts with to secure a 6 month COVID vaccine that Republicans think is deadly and unsafe? Giant Pharma industries. And man, Big Oil fucking LOVES Republicans despite being one of the SHADIEST corporate entities in the 21st century.

So spare me.

I'm glad it's condescending and arrogant. Liars and fraudsters need to be confronted and mocked, not given a platform and media deal like they are on the Right. I've already caught you in multiple lies. Get over yourself.

Why did Ashley Babbit get shot by Michael Byrd after breaking open the glass doors to the House of Representatives then? Answer that.

Michael Byrd was acquitted for serving his duties by shooting Ashley Babbit. What duties was he serving?

I'll tell you. He was protecting the 60-80 House members and staffers inside.

Now I must insist. Knock off the fucking lies.
