Josh managed to fix a long standing problem I've had in the CyberChud engine using Claude. Josh doesn't know C, or gamedev, or rendering, or any of this stuff.

Claude even understood how I do memory management, which is clunky and fragile: https://gitgud.io/CrunkLord420/cyberchud/-/merge_requests/1/diffs

"We are currently in the midst of governments finalizing the negotiations with corporations under what terms they will dictate cyberspace to the public. What is good for the public, never mind what the people actually want is irrelevant to this process. The presumption is that a state’s “digital sovereignty” and corporate “innovation” are vastly more important than the interests of the people. This is why all ‘safety’ reforms for cyberspace will inevitably fail to actually increase safety, they’re not really intended to. In fact, the most likely outcome of these ‘reforms’ is to be highly dangerous to the public in more insidious and difficult to quantify ways."

I am so fucking sick and tired of the whole "I just woke up in a bad mood" excuse. You didn't wake up in a bad mood, you just felt like being an asshole today.

If you overslept, underslept, and/or had a bad dream, then that's fine, but nobody just wakes up in a bad mood.

I'm currently toying around with having gravity switches in the levels instead of having the player being able to flip the gravity at will. I feel like there are too many ways levels can be cheesed if the player can flip gravity when ever they want.

Gravity flipping is still going to be a core-mechanic, regardless.

"Every single person who has cancer has a pH that is too acidic"

Dr. Otto Warburg won the Nobel Prize in 1931 for proving that cancer can't survive in an alkaline, oxygen rich environment but thrives in an acidic, low oxygen environment.

I have personal first hand experience with fighting cancer using baking soda and food grade hydrogen peroxide along with eliminating sugar and alcohol from the diet...
And not just in myself but also with Sarah and with a friend of mine named Richard who was the cab driver with diagnosed with stage 4 liver cancer... I worked with him and so did Billy Porter with the regimen the baking soda alkaline water Chlorella and hydrogen peroxide and by the time he went to get ready for his treatment the cancer was gone.

THERE ARE MULTIPLE CURES FOR CANCER, BUT THEY ARE SUPPRESSED BECAUSE CANCER IS WORTH $200 BILLION A YEAR...

In fact, the truth is this...
NOBODY DIES OF CANCER... EVERYONE WHO DIES DIES FROM THE EFFECT OF THE CHEMOTHERAPY.-Gary Williams

Short and sweet explanation of both LISP and Smalltalk:

1) S-expressions are just function calls, represented as lists.

2) Messages are just function calls where the actual function that will execute depends on the type (class) of one or more of the parameters.

3) Blocks are just pure functions that also happen to be anonymous.

Yes, I know there are some caveats, but the above gets you in the right mental space.

After years of almost exclusively using laptops, it's really nice to be able to use a desktop again, even if it's just a Mini PC.

Many people seem to be under the impression that reading books makes you smart.

First:
Information != Intelligence
Intelligence != Wisdom

Secondly, most books are not great, particularly ones written in the last 50 years (with a few exceptions), they are the mental equivalent of watching wheel of fortune and pretending you are learning deep truths about the world.

Third, you are far better off being a fool who has read one good book, than an “intellectual” who has read hundreds of bad ones.

I never understood the negative stigma of living in a mobile home. To me, they are much better than apartments. Sure having an actual, full-size home is the ideal choice, but I'd rather pick a mobile home over an apartment. For one, in most cases, you actually own the thing, just renting the land to place said home. And two, there is significant enough space between homes so you can worry less about noisy neighbors, which makes it much more preferable if you have kids.

Also, the whole "trailer trash" stereotype is way overblown. For one, mobile homes and trailers are two different things. And two, I've been to trailer parks and the vibe is more wholesome than anything. A lot of the people there tend to be minimalist rather than poor and/or uneducated.

Really the only disadvantage is the issue with tornadoes or other severe weather, though some trailer parks do have shelters for this reason.

reading some critiques people have with my game is really interesting. sometimes things pop up where i'm like, oh yeah i definitely should change that, why didn't i think of that? other times, it is extremely indicative of the type of game that i made and how divisive it can be. it has its roots in old school JRPGs where there isn't anything insane going on with the combat and it has an extremely open structure. i understand why things like yellow paint and quest markers are a thing now lol.

there are also a lot of things going on with the story that require you to slowly accumulate information over time if you have questions. some things just aren't answered, on purpose. it seems like some players don't understand that, and it does partially mean that i haven't made the core gameplay interesting enough to make it worth it for some people to dive deeper into the world. something like dark souls has extremely deep story telling that isn't available unless you really look for it, but the gameplay is highly engaging so it forces people to engage with it. i think if i had focused more on that aspect, it could have attracted more people, but at the same time it wasn't something i was necessarily looking to do. i actually wanted the combat to be simple as a design choice because i value world exploration more in an RPG and i kind of just wanted to make a game i would enjoy lol.
