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.

@xianc78 My take on "No. Their plan has already failed" is that while that may be true, they do not realize it and have pivoted the plot to continue pushing in that direction.

They are the self-amplifying "mRNA" vaccine variety now meaning it won't matter if you're a pureblood in round 2 - the shedding will be the feature they optimized for so the vax will spread from recipients to everyone else. Also, mRNA vax-food is still go. Thanks RFK Jr. :wojak_tired:

Oh and :israelflagburn: is running an AI pre-crime system for the US too.

So we are less than five years away until 2030. With everything that has been going on in the past few years, do you still think The Great Reset/Agenda 2030 is going to happen?

You hate Substack because you think it's Medium for Nazis.
I hate Substack because it's OnlyFans for philosophy nerds.

We are not the same.

@crunklord420 @starlabssystems The idea of Framework is great, but they needed mass volume to make it worthwhile. Cheap easily replaceable parts are the gimmick, but their parts aren't compellingly cheap.

Having a laptop where you can swap in an Ethernet port or more storage without soldering is cool, and maybe $40-$45 is reasonable for that. But not when you're starting with a $1300-$1700 laptop. Framework needed to hit like 10-20% market share and drop their prices hugely, become true commodity vendors instead of a boutique.

Purism should be F tier since they are a scam shop that wouldn't be in business if they didn't steal customer's money:

Which is exactly why they don't put intelligent people on jury duty.
