I have a lot of ideas when it comes to worldbuilding. I have always been a fan of science fantasy (combining both tropes from sci-fi and fantasy), but I feel like most works haven't embraced both genres to their fullest potential. The original Phantasy Star series is probably the closest because they weren't afraid to actually call magic "magic" instead of "the force" like in Star Wars.

I plan on using these ideas for my dream game (or series), but I'm posting these worldbuilding concepts anyway just in case I never get to creating the game, and I just don't care if other people use these ideas. They most likely have already been done before (in fact I know some of these ideas have been done before). I'm using AI to generate these concepts because I suck at drawing.

Anyway let's begin. First off, I think alien worlds should combine both ancient technology, futuristic technology, and everything in between. Technological progress isn't a linear path, so you shouldn't assume that aliens go through the same technological progression as we do. They might be flying interstellar ships, but they might also still be wielding swords and bows. So you can have spaceships flying over medieval style villages or even mudhuts. Star Wars has basically already popularized this, so this should be a no-brainer, but you can always take it a step further. For example, replace lightsabers with steel swords while still having space travel.

I plan of mostly talking about gamedev stuff on it though. I want a more laid-back experience.

This goes with what I said earlier, every gamedev community (outside of /agdg/ threads) is pozzed. You will be ostracized unless you fully subscribe to SJW ideology. It's why even in the indie scene, it's hard to find non-pozzed game developers. You even have to request an account (while providing links to other sites and profiles for manual approval) just to be on this instance.

CBS is warning us that the "government shutdown" is enabling Americans to do what they want to do peacefully in national parks - some even with the audacity to do so *without* permits.

Oh no, not without permits!!!! 😂🦅

Watch as the Great EBT Shutdown of 2025(-2026?) does more to reduce junk food than RFK's entire tenure as HHS director.

This language really needs more recognition. It's basically a modernized version of REBOL, an interesting hybrid between a programming language and a data interchange format, and intends to be a full-stack language.

Also, it is very simple and you can make some complex graphical applications, among other things out of the box. Writing GUI and multimedia programs is like writing a JSON file. No third-party libraries are necessary. You can even run these scripts remotely from a web server.

It's been my dream to have a programming language that provides an out of the box experience and I think this language has the most potential for it!

In a 1996 interview about Super Mario 64, Shigeru Miyamoto said he really wanted to make Mario throw MIPS the Rabbit by his ears, and would have done it if the team had just one more month.

Saying "bless you" after someone else sneezes is superstition, not manners. It's a remnant from a time when people thought someone was losing their soul when they sneeze.

Let it die.

>Drew DeVault is now going after Louis Rossmann

Honestly, I don't know much about Louis Rossmann to have an opinion on him, but given his huge audience, I would love for him to roast that motherfucker into the ground.
