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.

Tim Pool just continues to suck down that big daddy government trust the plan Trump Juice straight from Orange Man's dick. Is anyone paying him to be pro-Israel, pro-Peter Thiel, pro-technocrat, or is he just that stupid?

No, this Palantir database isn’t like the others. It will combine:

-Tax filings
-Student debt
-Social Security
-Bank accounts
-Medical claims
-Immigration status

No previous database system has ever centralized this much personal info across various federal agencies.

@Terry Evil Alex Jones be like: Trust the government!

>Jermey Kauffman, inventor of the LBRY protocol and former director of the Free State Project, openly supports Palantir

You are a fucking disgrace! This is just flat out proof that many of you guys are no more libertarian than the Gary Johnson types who want to force vaccines into children and bakeries to bake gay cakes. You are willing to suck deep state cock if the agent in question LARPs as a libertarian.

When even the most ardent Jones fan has to admit it's not incompetence but malice.

I have the HUD display the current level like how it is displayed in Super Mario Bros as it does a better job explaining which environment you are in and how far are you from the next boss.

I've also decreased the intervals for when bombs explode. I did a full playthrough of the game and I realized that the later enemies that are only killed by bombs are extremely hard to kill due to the long interval, so I cut the interval by half.

Milton Friedman supporting UBI, kind of hilarious in $current_year context where the lines are really sharp and polarized (clipped from a much longer video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7z6YTyvCxRY ).

Dumb question: Why do you have to change the oil filter every oil change?

Is there something it's actually picking up? AFAIK the oil needs to be changed because of sludge and acid buildup, and the filter only traps grit and metal shavings. But if you have enough grit and metal shavings to actually clog the filter, your engine is already toast.

Anyone know anything about this?

Since the federal court ruling that fluoridation “poses an unreasonable risk to human health,” 64 communities, serving water to approximately 28,454,829 people have ended, suspended, or prevented water fluoridation!

#TheFediFiles 11 is back with perhaps the most infamous guest in ALL of Fedi: @ube or as you may have known her, Maija!

Do I even need to sell a Maija episode? Kicked off of over 109 instances, denies the existence of Russia, and... a racoon story (not to mention the Faggot Tourney top seed). Maija's fediverse history is something of legend, and that legend will be codified on this very special episode of The Fedi Files!

Stream starts at 8 Eastern 7 Central this Sunday the 8th. Don't miss it!

I've bit crushed the death whirl sound effect, but I can't make it sound like an SNES sound effect. It honestly sounds more like the compressed voice sound effects you would hear in 80s arcade games.

How did we go from starting a revolution over a tax on tea to collectively shrugging our shoulders when the government locks us in our homes, keeps us from seeing our families and arbitrarily closes our small businesses?
