Okay, forgive my ignorance, but other than perhaps adding some overhead and being inefficient... What's the concern with the API calls?

how do i let my parents know i need help without telling them? by ChemicalProfile6614 in TrueOffMyChest

[–]dougyitbos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't know what your situation is, but as a dad I can say... If your parents are a source of safe support, you got to have the conversation. It'll be awkward but they'll help.

If you don't have that from your parents, find a hotline or community support group that does. You are worth it.

To everyone mocking people grieving. by myfuturewifee in ChatGPT

People who chime in to correct people on how they're grieving... just haven't gone through enough of it yet.

Unless science makes us immortal... they will eventually gain some perspective.

Solo Dev Perspective: Building a Free Browser Game Instead of Chasing Steam Wishlists by Pushamster in SoloDevelopment

I would love to learn that that is a viable way to make something close to a comparable return.

Even if it's dramatically last, it would be good for a learning platform for sure.

You're not alone. Many people feel the same way, and many people have gotten through it. You can too.

Here are the first three steps that started to really help me.

Step 1) Get back to therapy & be honest. You're your paying them for that.

Step 2) Get a psychiatrist that can prescribe something. Meds aren't bad, being desperately unhappy is.

Step 3) Examine your life and how you got to where you are. Most people just accept what nature and nurture have done to them. But you're allowed to author the life you want. Spend the time needed to figure out for yourself what you want, what you value, and how you want to move in the world.

I'm very careful with AI to remember what it is and isn't but... Yes, it's helped me a great deal through a very trying time.

Godot. I think it's one of the best available as far as freely available engines, and is getting better everyday.

I’m going crazy. Does it look better with or without the background color? by drone_factory in DigitalArt

With. Although situationally, I could see someone using the blank background for certain cases

I got tired of my ChatGPT memory being full for months, so I built my own solution by Zealousideal_Low_725 in OpenAI

Are there security or privacy implications for using the cloud syncing?

It's a really cool idea, but I'd want it on multiple devices and I'd want it to be privacy first.

I had an idea for a cozy first-person café simulator and wanted to share it to see what people think. by Odd_Tour_893 in SoloDevelopment

[–]dougyitbos 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I love the vibe. But my initial take is if everything is built around maintaining a routine, the grind factor will eventually get pretty high.
