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.

Fun fact: even I don't know how to pronounce my own username, so feel free to pronounce it anyway you want.

I love the UN. They are so unbelievabely retarded, that they believe some commie game dev, when they say, that they can recruit entire armies of soldiers to die for the nation.

Meanwhile, all the western nations are in the middle of recruitment crisis.

They are more naive towards scam artists then my grandma. At least she was sold a healing lamp, that had some potential to be real. But the UN will fall for literally anything as long, as it can blame video games.

Any people reading this who rely on Discord: this is your nudge to consider moving elsewhere.

Where? I don't know. What I do know is that whatever alternative I suggest, you will find a myriad of reasons why it just "won't cut it."

But I also know that if resources were spent on making the hard-to-enshittify decentralized platforms better, they would get better, while still remaining hard to enshittify.

So, perhaps it's worth it to trade some short-term convenience for long-term resilience. 🤷‍♀️

Hello Fediverse admins/mods,

I need help to collate some Nicole data. I've noticed they're exclusively using outlook.com emails so far, and I want to make a big list of known emails to send to microsoft

Please DM me with any emails from disabled Nicole accounts

So I logged on to Nostr again, and once again, the whole "nostr is dead" claims made by the fedi seem to be false. I don't see any bots, CP spam, or any of that stuff.

Granted, I only ever use the web clients and maybe they try their hardest to filter out any relay that hosts such content. I guess the only safe way to use Nostr is with a web client. But honestly, it does feel a lot like old-school fedi just with a slight libertarian bias.

@theorytoe @grey well whoop dee fucking doo it's like when you need to shit you will think more about taking a shit than the task at hand, did that shit seriously warrant an entire article AND twitter post that was screenshot and broadcast to the fediverse by one of daniel stevens' kittens?
no seriously go ahead get constipated and tell me if you'll be thinking about something that isn't "THIS FUCKING SUCKS, I WANT TO TAKE A SHIT BUT I CANT"

Regardless on whether or not the JFK files are real, this is nothing more than just another saving throw for Trump and to put everyone back in the two party illusion. People were starting to see through it during the COVID pandemic along with the events afterward. Trump's second term is just their desperate attempt to regain trust.

Our favorite schizo painter just published a paper on why you shouldn't trust the JFK files.

@xianc78 Overcoming rationalized ignorance is the hard problem, people gain by holding certain beliefs, and holding a belief not identifiable with any clear group makes you a free space for tribal bingo.

I really hate that people these days think that being a "freethinker" is having nothing but contrarian takes and being edgy about them as opposed to taking all sides and coming to your own conclusion.
