I mostly do untextured low-poly stuff so I’ll think I’ll leave that one to the brofessionals. It doesn’t seem like a good starting point.

Yes, but also I don’t have much programming experience or even viable beginner project ideas. Also interested in polygonal art but lacking a project doesn’t help with that either.

So add in other issues and it really ends up as

Yes, spring of 2444 with my brain in a jar.

Undiagnosed (aside from TTT at home) EDS/POTS here (mild), I biked enough to notice a difference but I didn’t hit the point where it aligned with this post (maybe because I don’t really sweat, stress on my body changes the effect?). Even with inactivity, muscle loss is not an issue for me.

Though the biggest issue with cycling for me is that I don’t really have (m)any destinations, distance makes most trips not viable for what they are (particularly factoring in return trip) or add complication when it comes to hours or weather. Daylight savings ending combined with shorter days ruined it for me, too.

Honestly I’m not doing good with the rural shut-in USA campaign, especially with my poor rolls and lack of party. I don’t like this game. I can cut and pan-fry vegetables, so I got goin’ for me which is nice… hopefully a good skill to have as a N.Korean child.

Also I feel like hardly anybody would get across the DMZ as a child (as an adult still sounds a bit implausible). Even learning Korean via English (without raising suspicion) seems unlikely without internet so I am just expecting a Dwight-like story about escaping to China. EDIT: I see you changed the language bit

Yes, because of the over-the-top “personally traveled” bit… and it’d likely end with DMCA.

Though looking at just one list of Nintendo’s mass takedown of free fan-games, it seems very likely* it directly resulted in many children being terribly upset (and maybe thinking they’ll be sued/jailed)… even if they made their own assets, just because they included a trademarked term in the title/description for something they just wanted to share with their friends. (I’m sure many did use assets, but we are likely talking about decades-old material here)

So it’s not that big of a stretch, it’s just not guaranteed that we’d hear this much about it.

*= judging by FNAF/sonic crossovers, content/spelling of titles, creepypasta stuff, and likely terrible art if you can still find more than a URL

Both is rule

reactions … are incredibly dark

The mood: El Risitas laughing

Aside from a last resort, for what purpose?

I would rather go the opposite direction: brain stays (mostly) stock but supported by multiple other forms of life. Much more of a gut microbiome, harmless viruses etc add to immune system, mycelium network, microbiome automatically cleans surface.

Swap resources with a tree, filter contaminates from air/water or produce organic compounds, photosynthesis in larger tanks (stationary) or luminescence in organic gel (body).

That’d still just be a copy.

And sounds like “I like the idea of ai, but I want something even less ethical.” Unless it is highly specialized to the point of non-sapience. “Existence? Look buddy, I cook and that’s it. I can contemplate the life cycles of ingredients and I do my best to have a safe kitchen, but beyond that I don’t have the information to think about it.”

[ ✔️ ] Willing to convert, but into a cyborg because the distinction is important… but if I’m being honest I’m basically a defective organic robot, so if you put my canned brain into a metal body with a digital voice I would be indistinguishable from a robot.

Can they fix some of my medical problems (cyborg stuff, if possible?), and/or get me out of here? If not, this video: THOSE DAMN ALIEN BASTARDS ARE REAL. (Gianni Matragrano as Duke Nukem)

That leaves out how public opinion changed after motive was known.

The assassination brought the many social issues with the Unification Church under the spotlight again, as well as tumbled the approval of the ruling party. Under the public pressure, the responsible ministry decided to file a dissolution order against the UC with the Tokyo District Court on 13 October 2023, after nearly a year of investigation of wrongdoings

Japanese people cosplaying Yamagami’s appearance during Abe’s assassination were spotted at events like the rally against Abe’s state funeral. These cosplayers held cardboard signs displaying the leaders they were against: Abe, Ali Khamenei, Vladimir Putin and Xi Jinping

I have a similar issue… I have done slightly more than nothing, I really struggle trying to think of small projects that actually work for me.

The few things I’ve done I stop at a certain point because I have no motivation for the actual content* or there are platform* issues. One thing I made was maybe usable but was likely too much** of a time sink for me.

Though I keep trying other things hoping enough pieces fit that I can think of something.

EDIT: I don’t know if it is any help but what I’ve mentioned were text formats+loaders.

Nintendo has increasingly become a problem over the last decade

Of the other related videos, one by Knowledge Husk (7FWyhlS3kvc) points to the CEOs being an issue and that they just had one (1) good CEO: Satoru Iwata (particularly because he was a computer scientist who was pro-consumer).

Now I doubt Nintendo was fully non-evil in 2002-2015 (considering Nintendo actions with 2010s-era Youtube) but I’m sure it was probably the better side of Nintendo.

Nintendo.

Not just crushing fan games, but also issues with the Smash bros community, pricing and availability, eshops shutting down (+needing to buy those games again on new consoles or it’s not even available at start), stick drift, fan content policy, also Youtube strikes/claims (both newer for specific reasons and an entire era for let’s plays in general). 20 years of content removed from Gmod.

And no this isn’t about Japanese law, they choose to be this way.

For actual specifics (and more issues) 2 videos: UKD_wnB9AMU and xgKY9hmbfgo

If it wasn’t clear, I am talking about physical preservation (not “uploading”, as I know that would be a copy).

Yeah, I am at the point a med-sci student could convince me to let them attempt to preserve my brain.

My life now is such that life in a VR* network ran by non-profit scientists in the future would be an improvement. Though I would like to have options for existence, so long as homeostasis is not an issue (ideally organic and symbiotic systems rather than fully tech). Toasters should get to enjoy nature once-in-a-while, too.

*= Which maybe you could say is Virtual Retirement

I mean you can buy it here in a normal store. So I’m not sure if you mean a dentist can’t use/provide it, or if you’re thinking about the nano forms of it.

Edit, just saw this:

the FDA regulates dental products like toothpaste as cosmetics rather than therapeutic agents for cavity prevention

Interestingly, many ingredients used in dental care, including fluoride, are employed off-label. This means they are used in ways not officially approved by the FDA but are still considered effective based on scientific evidence and clinical practice

For other toothpaste that still strengthens enamel, there is toothpaste with hydroxyapatite (which can be ingested, at least that specific ingredient). Though it is probably more expensive.
