@sun @nyanide It will just end up like Threads where a huge chunk of servers end up blocking it either because of incompatible ToS or EEE concerns.

I wish I could convince ANYONE I KNOW to put in an ounce of effort in chat programs more complex than failberg messenger. I had to personally install matrix clients for everyone in my family because they're all tech-illiterate dumbasses no better than toddlers with ipads.

the future isn't the fediverse but another centralized platform, aka Bluesky. which fucking suuuuucks

So I thought of a fictional currency for an alien species where the "money" is actual a form of energy that is stored in the body and can be transferred from one body to another. From a video game design stand-point, it's brilliant because it's an in-universe explain on how the characters are able to carry that much money.

Something that I have noticed when it comes to science fantasy is that is is mostly combining medieval fantasy with space travel or steampunk with space travel. I'm all for a space wuxia or at least an alien civilization that resembles Ancient China or Asia in general.

🚨 Kansas Bill Would Establish Bullion Depository and Authorize State Gold and Silver Reserves

If passed, SB115 would represent a big step toward financial independence from the Federal Reserve’s fiat monopoly.

Next: Senate Committee 👇

Love how the microtransaction scheme is kinda killing itself.

Ive seen SEVERAL live service games die in very little time at all, meaning all those $25 skin purchases went straight to shit. If this keeps going, people are gonna be way to scared to buy the shit because the game might end in a year

>Talk about the crazy idea for a science fantasy universe that has been brewing in my mind for almost a decade.
>People only care about the cute, alien witch girls.

Well at least I know that I have merchandise potential.

@vokainen099 @coolboymew I got AI to generate them. I should've included "steampunk" somewhere in there.

Speaking of caves, I was thinking about having an alien race that builds everything in hollowed out caves, maybe in cliff-sides (like the Puebloans), or in completely underground caves. They probably might even hollow out asteroids, moons, and dwarf planets to make space stations. So imagine going inside a cave and seeing apartments, hotel rooms, restaurants, stores, etc.

@vokainen099 Different races could have different magical and technological abilities. More technologically advanced species may have little to no magical capabilities while the more primitive types could have more. Some races might even have biological castes that determine their magical capabilities.

Now for something weird. I have always had dreams of finding stores and restaurants in weird places. In my dream game, I plan on having the in-game stores be corner stores or convenient stores, much like in Earthbound or Pokemon, but given the schizo tech in this science-fantasy universe, you would have basically modernized convenient stores in medieval, old-western, or even pre-historic styled buildings. So there will basically be rustic, wooden buildings with modern beverage fridges inside. You can even have a cave with one room of the cave being a modernized convenience store.

So basically just have old-style buildings with modern (or futuristic) appliances in them.
