GamesCore - generic but serviceable name. CrystalCore - because RPGs must have some sort of magic crystal, it's the law CreataCore - why limit the name to RPG theme in case it develops into something larger? Just a few quick name sugge

Fellow burn-out, here. For about 3/4 years, I have noticed a massive increase in my Depression and Generalized Anxiety Disorder. My wife has also noticed my personality changes that have occured, and my general loss of interest in thin

Hi there! I am the person you are talking about, what with all the worry about making rent each month, bills, various health issues even, all while trying to be a role model for my son, who is just starting adulthood. I can say that I empha

Not sure if you saw my other comment, but I still disagree that it is "universal" based on my own experience of frequently hearing S Q L as opposed to 'sequel' from English-speaking peers. It's honestly a super inte

Anecdotal, but fair, since I can say the opposite. I've largely heard it said as S Q L, ro the point when someone verbally calls it "sequel" it takes me an extra moment to remember what they are referring to. I rationalize it

Like you, I find that sci-fi and its derivatives is where many readers often miss the point. It's not a overly "happy ending" genre, which I think is important to provide balance to all the literary genres as a whole, since m

Not everyone pronounces SQL as 'sequel,' since it is a known acronym, so don't go thinking that's widely accepted because a vocal bunch on YouTube says 'sequel.' Still, it was dumb to name another project that.

I like this perspective. I am just starting to dip my toes into software development and one thing I love about the industry as a whole is that it allows for and often encourages new ways of doing a thing, which in turn promotes new ways

No. I taught my kid that everything should not be followed by a reward, especially things like basic hygiene. Most tasks of that nature are things we all have to do to be members of a functioning society. He has a pretty good grasp on that

Not that I am the world's brightest parent, or anything, but trainiing your kids to do tasks with media consumption as a reward seems like a remarkably bad idea, given how influencing that can be.

Out of curiosity, what font would you prefer for body text? I use monospace on my own blog because it plays nice with my poor vision and scaling settings, but I am always curious about improved readability for all, since accesability is imp

The content is text. I know we've gotten used to the general clown-vomit look of the modern web, but come on. This site is more of an ebook than anything, no sense in over-complicating it.

My experience was similar; no direct contact with entities, but the certainty that something was in the room with me and had no ill intent toward me. I ended up trying DMT a few times, and decided (at least for awhile), that the brain was

This is important, right here; healthy boundaries. The best time to set them up is right at the start, too. I've had 3 employers that privided me with a phone and laptop because the jobs involved travel, but I made very clear that work

Many will disagree with you because your stance does not take an all-or-nothing approach, so good on you for asking these tougher questions. We have the same sort of questions in the US, though a very specific group would love to turn this

I feel the need to point out that it's not difficult for people whose identity is not centered around their jobs, since I see that disconnect in the comments. I found the author's take full of the pageantry that I often associate

Phrack's tendency toward the edgy sentiment aside, I sort of understand it. Sort of. I grew up in the era of BBSs, microcomputers giving way to full desktops in the US and payphones we're still slightly interesting. though phreaki

Aren't we basically doing that by injecting LLMs into everything, now? Maybe that's what Scalzi was warning of; an absurd and possible future that seems to actually be happening.

My approach to advice (both giving and receiving) has always been to use it as experimental perspective. A brief, but different way of looking at a thing in hopes that might spark some sort of answer, realization, whatever. Some people, in

I tend to eschew these categories and find that trying to collect human relationships into different buckets often confines them in ways their extremely fuzzy and dynamic edges don't want to conform to. As we get older and have more ex

I am with you, but the power that Big Auto and Big Oil wield in this realm makes it impossible to foster change unless consumers start collectively organizing. Good luck with that. I hate to say it, but that war feels already lost in the US
