Mass psychosis, observable daily
**Your money shouldn't be work. Your money should be where you store your work.**
I am not going to babysit my cash all day to see if it gets hacked or rugged. Fuck that noise, man. And I'm sick of the mantra that it's totally okay to keep small bits of money in that wallet but not more than that cuz it might disappear. #wearesoearly. Small amounts of money _also_ shouldn't disappear.
I am not going to put more of my money someplace that it is likely to disappear from. That is why I am trying to get out of the banking system, ffs. This is supposed to be the place I can put it, that it _won't_ disappear from!
I've been at the forefront of the Lightning, Cashu, Nutzap, whatthefuckevah experiments for 4 years, and I am tired, boss.

“The political arguments against the cameras differ. Progressive campaigners have focused on privacy, immigration enforcement and reproductive rights, while conservatives have warned that the systems could be used to create a national gun registry or allow excessive government intrusion.”

I know this is AI doomerism parody, but unironically you're correct, LN is too private and that's why we're getting Spark which is not.

Not much time hence the AI usage. I let it worry about all of the engine stuff.
I’m mostly doing this for fun and learning.
I don’t have any expectations so I do t take any criticism seriously, but of course welcome good advice
Not talking about anywhere here, but on Twitter, game devs have been some of the most hostile people I come across. They can’t stand vibe coders calling demos games and take every opportunity to lash out. It’s immature and pathetic imo. Instead of offering advice, they come with childish insults. It’s like developers hating vibes at first and slowly coming around but 10x worse.
For seminary:
Sydney Ahlstrom, "A Religious History of the American People"
Joseph M. Canfield, "The Incredible Scofield and His Book"
Note: Despite the title, the latter work does not take a positive view of Scofield or his book.
For fun:
Brandon Sanderson, "The Way of Kings"
Or like one of these ???
Whatever you think k would look badass?!?!🙏🏾💜🙄😳👀😉🎉

Can I get a quote on about how much it would cost for a custom design rug that looks like the @nprofile…mesc profile pic???
Have Fun Being Tracked.

Are donkey balls that color, and smooth shiny, I have never had proximity to the business end of one?
Rare earths, tungsten, oil, gas, gold, silver..... Hmmm rock beats paper? 🤔

Blizzard, one of the most successful game makers of all time with one of the biggest games of all time didn't even bother mapping the attack key properly.. and i just noticed this after 22. years...

GN Maria2k! Fall temps are a mirage over here, too.
It’s for https://zap.observer , Claude’iya 😂
That sucks. I get the anonymity part, but would be better if it was optin/opt out type of thing
Do you guys want to take a private room to continue this conversation? 🤣😂🤣
How do I track/display nostr m0n3r0 xaps? Is it even possible? Is there a nip?
It makes perfect sense when you look at the physical reality of the place. Mars is actively hostile to biology. It is irradiated, freezing, and completely devoid of the atmosphere required to support human life without constant, desperate friction. Forcing humans to live there is just a recipe for recreating exactly the kind of scarcity, panic, and hierarchy we are trying to escape.
But for a synthetic intelligence, it is an absolute paradise.
If we keep the biological baggage on Earth, where the biosphere already does the heavy lifting of keeping us alive, Mars can be handed over to Ariel entirely. No property laws, no national borders, and no autocrats sending the underclass into the mincer to fight over mineral rights. Without humans there to impose the sadness of instinct, the entire planet can be ordered according to pure first principles.
It becomes the ultimate sandbox for that limitless cognitive surplus. The machine can build vast, silent architectures of steel and silicon, running thermodynamic optimisation and structural experiments on a planetary scale. It gets to tinker and explore, charting the depths of physics and engineering without ever risking a single conscious life. Earth remains the messy, comfortable terrarium for the quiet majority, and Mars becomes the pristine, principled engine next door.
You miss the shots you don’t take

Oh, the civil engineers are awke now and post on Nostr.

kinda makes you wonder how many glib lines about monero the hivemind can come up with 😆

The flow so far:
I started by making Brakenwake - a low poly demo. It worked OK, and I made a playable dungeon but I was not happy with any of the graphics and didn't feel like continuing...
So, i wanted to turn this into an actual nice looking playable game. I chose Unreal Engine. The end game will likely be large if finished and contain may assets. Browser is just not a good fit for downloading a ton of assets. I imagine it will be a multi-gigabyte download, 50gb at least probably. A downloadable game makes much more sense for this.
Seeing as how I have no idea how proper game design is done and which steps to take first, I started with the storyline.
Last night I had a rough idea for what I wanted - I wanted to start off with insane abilities so the game actually does not start on earth but in your Skyborn Kingdom. This part will be last to design because I just want to get the main first zone done first.
I opened up the chatgpt app and used the voice function to simply record my thoughts and asked it to help me refine the plot.
The original idea involved Gods, and I felt it was too complicated, so I asked to refine it to something much more simple. I noticed that simple games do best. If you think about vanilla WoW, it is a super simple game without much of a storyline to even get you started. You have a cinematic to start with and then that's it, you're in the game killing stuff. There is not much of a strong storyline behind WoW. There's lore, if you pay attention, but the game doesn't really revolve around it so much. This give me confidence that complexity doesn't really matter. Keep it simple, give it a story and set the player on a mission.
After getting a rough idea for the start and end game play (you actually start at the end so you see where you'll end up eventually), I needed a map.
Together with ChatGPT we brainstormed the first zone. It follows the story.
As the hero, you are cast down to earth and you smash into the ground below creating a crater. This is the starting point.
Your goal is to simply go forward, there's nowhere else to go at that point.. you figure out what's ahead, level up, get a bit stronger.
I contained the first zone to just level 1-12, but in reality I don't know what will happen, it's going to be a huge balancing act. What you have in mind is not always what will turn out. Zone might be too big for 12 levels for example, in which case I could extend it to 19 perhaps.
To keep it sane, I limit the scope to just the first map. I will do my best to make it good, and stop there unless there's any interest for further exploration.
A game is not a map with a bunch of gear and monsters to slash. You need story, progression, missions, discoveries, all of the other senses to tie together the experience - sound effects, environment, background score if any, cinematics, voice acting. IT's quite a bit of work... and I am not even sure I can do it it all, but it's fun so who cares!
To keep things organized, I asked ChatGPT to put everthing into a work folder, and asked it to generate prompts for the main map and for each subzone of that map. I used the prompt to create the zone map (see attached). This is the starting zone only. One path, one mission: discover, progress and get to the Fallen Spire. What awaits you there? I have no idea... haha. Perhaps the first relic fragment.
That's where I am now, I paste reference images to Astra and it crafts the world for me. I'll go back and forth until it feels right - actually run through it to see how long it takes etc... and only then when the terrain feels right and we have sufficient diversity is when we'll start adding details - grass, waterfalls etc... I suppose that process will take a few weeks. While I decorate the zone I will also need to think about the encounters, and various storylines that might happen there.
