Systems are agnostic - implementation is tied to a │ ║ specific engine. You will learn more about programming by doing it this way, │ ║ instead of losing your motivation by learning new tools like game engines or 3D │ ║ modeling systems, which aren't useful unless you already have a game. │ ║ │ ║ I'd recommend starting with pencil and paper until you're ready to implement. │ ╟─────────┐ ┌───────────┤ ║ similar │ │ different │ ╚═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════════─────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/4097 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────── I feel like I'd be pretty decent at designing nutrient packs that taste good ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════════────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/4098 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────── ┌────────────────────────────────┐ │ CW: politics-mentioned-ableism │ └────────────────────────────────┘ ngl I kinda hate it when people meme about donald trump being incontinent like, yeah, he pees his pants, so what? I DO TOO. Fucking sucks. Every time I read people saying nasty things about it I can't help but read them in my own voice, and that gives me plenty of ammunition to use against myself when I'm feeling down. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════════────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/4099 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────── ┌──────────────────────────────────────┐ │ CW: cursing-mentioned-jobs-mentioned │ └──────────────────────────────────────┘ I don't think anyone should work at a job they hate, no matter what. They will perform worse. They will harm themselves. They will shackle their dreams to a false promise of persistence begot rewards. They will spiral into depression, despair, depravity, and addiction. If you hate your job, fucking QUIT. If you hate every job, fucking RIOT. If nobody will hire you, SELL DRUGS. [I'm not actually advocating breaking the law, please don't arrest me] or like, move to the country and become a farm-hand for a retiring salmon farmer who can't quite reach into the trees to pick the salmon fruit or dump the bucket of vegetable scraps into the black soldier fly larva pit anymore. That's always rewarding. ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════════────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/4100 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────── ┌──────────────────────┐ │ CW: food-mentioned │ └──────────────────────┘ the neurodivergent urge to put the toppings and condiments at the bottom of the bowl so you can be ready when the food is ready and finished cooking "oh no my condiments and toppings aren't evenly distributed throughout my food because I put them at the bottom of the bowl instead of the top where they can more easily be mixed in" ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════════────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/4101 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────── ┌───────────────────────┐ │ CW: cursing-mentioned │ └───────────────────────┘ I wish I was cis but I'm not So imma be the best damn trans person I can be and yeah it'll be a little weird but fuck you and your expectations I am radiant in my honesty I am confident in myself I am celebrating who I am ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════════────────────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/4102 ══════════════════════════════════════════════════════───────────────────────────── just updated words with the past month or two of my posts if anyone is interested https://ritz-menardi.neocities.org/words/words ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════════────────────────┴───────────┘ |
