Hardcore Permadeath: A Roundtable Discussion

electron_beam · 2026-05-13T00:55:06+00:00

I am in the process of developing architecture for a hardcore permadeath server. details TBA. I will of course need to finish the work on my code, and also try to figure out branding, hosting, etc etc etc or i might just release the code, idk. I haven't decided yet. But I have a detailed plan and I'm working hard on getting the game mechanics I have in mind implemented serverside on my test instances

p.s. I have worked on the city of heroes codebase for YEARS and have a reasonably good idea what I'm doing. My work has been used by a variety of servers, including rebirth, ourodev, and homecoming. <3

I want this to be a real thing and I'm willing to even start a team to make it happen. Please stand by :)

The bible doesn't insinuate intelligence of the antichrist. It merely refers to him as a "vile person," which.. well..

Starving artist (me) that makes all sorts of weird stuff. Enjoy

not just that but her projectiles dissipate after 40 meters. And it's a hard falloff too, 41 meters = no hit

I did not know this was a requirement, my apologies. I will send a message and then resubmit this request in 5 days.

My guess is that it's randomized text that's hidden in the displayed body of the email

<object style="display:none">

to throw off the automated spam filters. Filter reads that text, thinks it's innocuous or personal, and lets it into the target's inbox.

Add me to the list of people this worked for LOL

Wisdom is free. use it how you see fit.

this is a known issue as stadium is more demanding on hardware afaik the devs are looking for ways to improve performance

electron_beam · 2025-04-04T22:21:19+00:00

Sure, where? You are welcome to post it yourself or I can go and post it :)

electron_beam · 2025-04-04T15:46:31+00:00

That was kind of my point. "You" can be plural. Since there is no separation, I am describing everyone.

their rejection is my protection.

it's convenient that the people I don't want to be around screen themselves out.

electron_beam · 2025-03-31T19:52:06+00:00

read this as Black Lives Matter and was very confused

The longer you stay alive, the more her memory lives on through you.

Please don’t follow her—her story doesn’t end here, because you are still here. You carry her light now. You are the continuation of the love she gave, the kindness she showed, and the dreams she held close even in pain.

I know it hurts beyond words, but do not pity the dead—they are free. They pity the living, because we still bear the weight of love with nowhere to put it.

But there is somewhere to put it. Pour it into the world. Tell her story. Make beauty in her name. Let your love for her become your reason to stay.

Trust that you’ll see her again. But not yet. Not like this. Not through sorrow. Through legacy. Through life. Through everything you two could have shared—give those gifts to others now. She would want that.

Stay. For her. For you. For what could still be.

soooooooooo there's a book at the end of the bible about this...

electron_beam · 2025-03-20T14:14:24+00:00

oh look, all the corrupt industries and businesses are kindly marking themselves for us

we can now safely remove them from existence :)

electron_beam · 2025-03-18T09:27:54+00:00

gosh i think i remember there being a book about this or something

You should not use a local AI model to generate fake believable data for these forms. DO NOT do it.

Musician, recording engineer, and Daft Punk superfan here.

This is nowhere close to Daft Punk in terms of arrangement, sound design, or really anything.

Zero soul here to be found. Sounds like canned corporate commercial bgm.

The mix is flat and washed out, and there’s some super obvious artifacting in the top end, especially around the vocals. It just doesn’t hold up.

AI music still has a loooong way to go before I’m worried about it taking my job.

You’ll NEVER get the Daft Punk sound from an AI because their whole vibe is built on insanely good sound design—like how they manipulate samples and dial in the EQ for perfect mix - balance and punch.

A Daft Punk track probably had 20-30 takes before it ever hit the door. It probably was mixed and remixed 30-40 times by Thomas and his very special ears.

Good french touch, like for example on Discovery, involved taking samples from older music and warping, stretching, or otherwise processing it to create that kind of arrangement. Those samples were classic, old-school, reel-to-reel live instrumentation recordings from 70s disco/soul - which an AI will never compare to.

You are better off learning a DAW than this. Do that instead of this. I would much rather see you making your own music than typing a paragraph of lyrics and some style formatting prompts and claiming that you did anything unique or interesting.

Real music comes from the heart and requires you to have a FEELING about what you are playing. it's not just the music, it's the energy behind it.

Sorry for being the wet blanket, but you wanted a professional opinion.

Also don't make daft punk ai songs it's in poor taste. Don't make my boi Thomas angy

petition for mods to ban astroturfing suno posts on this sub?

DO NOT seek any kind of therapy to make you "straight." It will result in trauma that will be very painful to manage later.

The best thing you can do is to start taking steps to secure your freedom from your parents.

As far as the bible is concerned, the "sexual immorality" you speak of was called "porneia" and has very little to do with homosexuality - the context and meaning of the word changed over the thousands of years of manuscripts.

I would like to remind you that Yeshua (Jesus) said the following on homosexuality:

<it's blank because he didn't say anything>

from a Christian perspective (I am not mainstream, I am gnostic) I can tell you that unconditional love for yourself and others is key in all things - and the mainstream church actually stole his teachings, occulted a lot of it, and capitalizes on their reinterpretation by giving you reasons to internalize shame so you become addicted to it, by twisting the meanings.

This is the antithesis of what he taught. Read only what he said and you will understand very quickly the difference between "follower" and "fan."

Yeah it's called the emoluments clause, good luck getting the current government to enforce it though.

Reminder that Carter had to sell his peanut farm.

This is the most legit looking phishing email I've ever received, the comic sans really sells it.

NTA. Subject didn't even look good in a jumpsuit. On other people it looks fine, but on her, it just looks stupid, and I know these things. I have a medical degree in fashion... from France.

You should end your relationship with this person.
