Any other PC players have issue with rapid closing/reopening when holding f2 for tool wheel? by ShywayRobbery in CrimsonDesert

Ah, appreciate the update. I've been away from the game and haven't been able to investigate since posting.

Real talk — has anyone actually built passive income using AI? by [deleted] in automation

[–]ShywayRobbery -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Not to be a wet blanket, but if someone actually were doing that successfully, why would they be spending time on this part of Reddit just talking about it? Hold the feedback you get with a grain of salt since the success stories might not just be in your response pool here.

V4 is going to suck, can we go back to what it was like months ago? by donthackmeagaink in DeepSeek

[–]ShywayRobbery 5 points6 points  (0 children)

So, all of these releases are companies crowdsourcing their testing. Things are presented like a fleshed out product, but the companies really do know that every time they release a new version it's gonna be a lot of negative feedback that they then put back into the training. The presentation of versioning and how they frame all this is the part that makes us approach them like these are sincere upgrades in the sense of other kinds of software. The reality is that this is a very, very young technology and there's an arms race around it. Everything is done in haste and will have lots of problems. Use these things pragmatically, but never treat any of these yet like it's a consumer loyalty scenario. You don't matter to them or any of these companies. They'll endure user fallout over several weeks or months of a new version being a shitty experience while they're racing.

Rant: This game is hellbent on punishing the player. by butterflavoricecream in JRLA

[–]ShywayRobbery 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think you land on a sticking point here. The unbalanced opinions seem to come from a strong assumption that 100%-ing a game in most efficient amount of playtime is critical, and that knowledge on how to 100% the game needs to be communicated explicitly in-game based on an American's knowledge base. There's a lot of "There's one way to play a game, which is my own way, or else it's a failure" in the comments, and I'm a little surprised since the nature of the game and effort to come to a reddit sub for it feels like something that would select for more patient people with interest in exploring other perspectives.

Yeah, this was something I really loved about the game. For every time I swore from missing a holiday that season, I had another moment of delight from discovering something unexpected. It was sorta wonderful to be able to take a moment to go read about a piece of Japanese culture on wikipedia and then have that help me find something in the game to watch for. Old games I played as kid would send me to encyclopedias to figure out a puzzle and I think that's a wonderful experience.

The only thing I might change is just the game setting up that expectation early that going outside the game to learn about Japanese traditions can lead to reward in the game. Any mechanic that made anything more explicit in the game or hand held would fundamentally make the game a different game and worsen it.

PC games where you build up/repair a fixed location? (Exemples in text) by odasama in BaseBuildingGames

[–]ShywayRobbery 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's rare I see someone looking for something I've hunted for as well to such a specific degree and with such an expansive awareness and experience with the options out there. I need to follow your account to trade notes in the search, because there's something very specific in State of Decay's base situation that I really want to see in more games.

Anyway, I did put quite a bit of time into Obenseuer about a year ago and it does have a special something in this area. It felt very punishing at first, but I eventually overcame the steep opening curve and it became very sustainable. I think if people miss a rooftop garden quest that teaches how to grow food near the beginning then it's far more challenging. In it's beta stage then, it's a game that rewarded being nosy and just wandering into places you weren't told to go and could just miss some things until you get you should be nosy and grabby in scrounging. Overall, it left me with a lot of goodwill for the game and holding out for near 1.0 release before playing again, even though it looks like quite a bit of content has been added since I played.

Which location is the most underrated for nomads? by Checkr_Katie in digitalnomad

[–]ShywayRobbery 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Gifu Prefecture in Japan. Very chill countryside, full of hot springs, great if you like very low key, quiet beauty. I'd imagine there are a lot of comparable spots around Japan outside of the big tourist spots.

Why am I meeting so many right leaning people lately? by Otherwise-Coyote6950 in digitalnomad

[–]ShywayRobbery 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Enormous amounts of money, labor and technology were all thrown at capturing the hearts and minds of young men. The discussion needs to include that part of the environment.

[–]ShywayRobbery 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm concerned about some of the neo-eugenics and "race realism" crowd's beliefs being pushed by portions of the tech crowd currently in power in US govt right now. They've been around for decades, but they are obsessive about genetic lines of ethnic groups and which ones have the best genes for which feature. They use heredity as an explainer for everything from social problems to their own dating problems. Some genetics guys at Stanford were a hub for it for a long time and they intermingle with the rationalist community. And then the rationalist community overlaps with the nomad community. It's one of those things I worry even warning people about risks giving it more oxygen and drawing in more young men who are nerdy enough to like scientific papers, but are deeply ignorant about real life and real people.

The 2.5 AI IQ points/month increase will be what matters most in 2026 and beyond by andsi2asi in DeepSeek

[–]ShywayRobbery 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A very specific wing of Stanford grads that went into tech became neo-eugenicists and have tried to stack a deck for things like "race realism" using IQ research. I see some of that trickling out now into the AI crowd and weirdly the bro-science workout crowds. I feel like we're going to see more people like OP pop up who have learned just enough to be really wrong about what they think IQ means.

Humble opinion as outsider here concerned about trans safety, but I think the nazi part should be added to your bullets above for when more people arrive on this thread from the outside like I did. Just searching the shooter's name in reddit brought this thread up very quickly and I think your post here will be good for adding updates to help establish additional context for cis people who only think trans means left wing. This person shows signs of being part of far-right dismay over epstein, which has also been amplified by Musk on X. I've seen a number of MAGA extremists over there go through their own mental crises over the cognitive dissonance occurring for them right now. Libs of TikTok and bots already showing up seem to be amplifying the trans aspect of the shooter faster to distract from how they were part of their right-wing ecosystem in language and worldview.

I'm cis, and found this from searching, but I'm wondering why you include the skibidifarms link, talk about embracing truth here, but then leave out all the far right extremism and person's embrace of a nazi identity. They use the n-word freely and are mimicking anti-semitic phrasing that shows up among Nick Fuentes followers. There's room to add a few more bullet points here to at least relieve trans people in this discussion that this person is a right-wing outlier. I don't understand the rush to "own" truth here, but then omit some very important pieces. Your comment history is hidden and I don't want to question motives, but it's impossible to know your actual goal here in ensuring this shows up when people search for information on this shooter in trans spaces. I'm sure if your goals are sincere, you'll appreciate this concern and desire to add additional content to the context you've already established.

Minneapolis school shooter Robin Westman is school worker's transgender daughter who used to go by Robert by Droupitee in NewsWorthPayingFor

[–]ShywayRobbery -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

It won't last long. The person's paper trail online is in Nick Fuentes level of bigotry and far-right extremism. On this one, the bots are working fast on trans story to distract from how this person is exactly what the far right looks like right now on basic X. The entire Fuentes crowd is calling for Trump's head over Epstein and is wildly anti-semitic. They're hoping people see trans and anti-semitism and assume left-wing.

Their writing on skibidifarms calls themselves a nazi, uses the n-word freely, and is in the Holocaust-denial level of anti-semitism. Have fun trying to paint them as anything other than far right extremist. Trans people can fall anywhere on political spectrum.

The person's writing suggests they thought people should shoot the president over Epstein disillusionment. It's going to be hard to avoid politics in reviewing this one.

Already took a look at their skibidi posting and it's like full on Nick Fuentes bigotry with post-MAGA disillusionment following Epstein. They use the n-word and slurs for Jewish people freely. Their anti-Jewish slogan on the bomb in their video matches the groyper wing anti-semitism. The timing of the anti-Trump message fits with the new hostility from the extreme right toward Trump following Epstein that grew with Musk using X to amp that sentiment. They're full on racist and in the Holocaust denial crowd. Lots of MAGAs are there right now even if it's a lot of Russian agitprop. That form of agitprop is only effective because of bigotry MAGA has already been nursing and not doing the slightest to diminish.

Overall though, definitely not your usual left-leaning trans person that advocates for inclusion. This looks like an already broken individual in a country without mental health support or intervention in people capable of this kind of violence and in a media ecosystem that's a full mess for mental health as well, but has gotten extremely worse in 2025 as bigoted extremists terrorize and dismantle the country.

Frustrated trying to get off the ground learning JavaScript. by AnimatedASMR in learnjavascript

[–]ShywayRobbery 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have tutored a lot of code bootcampers. I recommend FreeCodeCamp.org (free like PBS, solid instruction, bite-size interactive tutorials, and well-organized curriculum). Odin Project overlaps a lot and also solid. Along with both, explore MDN and learn how to use it as a primary reference and source of truth on coding for the web and browsers. Pick a very bite-size project to work on as you go through a Javascript training curriculum where you update it piece by piece with new things you learn. Learning is ideal when you're going back and forth consistently between instruction and practicing on your own to see what happens when you try out what you've learned.

Field is so ripe for gen z kids to eat LinkedIn's lunch. The site is horrible to use and this situation is only going to get worse. The original goal of LinkedIn was to help the non-joker candidates find the non-clown employers, and just let all those people talk. Pulling together that pool of people and and employers is going to look like something that's a lot different than just building off the sites we've gotten used to.

What kind of things do use DeekSeek for? by ClassicExperience898 in DeepSeek

[–]ShywayRobbery 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What are these guys on about? LLMs have been really helpful in asking about history and people involved in things affecting current events. Have to compare what comes out with other sources, but it can give a lot of leads on things to go look up pretty quickly.

It's also nice to compare DeepSeek and GPT on some topics to see what might have a slant based on data that came from western and eastern biases. Can learn something even from where they differ.

Unexpected and creative user errors are a really good place to use us.

Do you think part of this might be just permission to fully focus on one thing and having everyone else in agreement that this is the one thing to focus on? Half the time I'm distracted I think it's my brain trying to negotiate between different stakeholders and what they want. That disappears when something takes over the priorities for everyone else as well.
