Nonsense words thread.
Say something that means absolutely nothing \(ᵔᵕᵔ)/
Made it to the air and military show and got really sunburned, but it was genuinely so worth it.
I took a few photos for people interested in military or vehicles.

The highlights for me were the f-22 raptor, the f-18 super hornet and a flying WWII P38-Lightning… plus there were static spitfire and Douglas a-4 skyhawk jets.
The cf-18 genuinely scared the shit out of me, too. It did a really surprising quick, low pass...
Dev Yapping: Monster Design
Hey horror fans! I wanna talk about the Others, the monsters the GM gets to play against the party in The Veil is Torn. Each one is based upon an established horror trope, and each has a specific method for being defeated. I only have 4 thought up currently, and would like to have 6 for the full release, so if you have any ideas/suggestions, I'd love to hear them.
Genre: Biological Horror
Monster: a sentient, parasitic fungus that mutates its victims.
Gameplay: zombie apocalypse. Players have...
So there I was, thinking about something, and then it led to cyberspace, about how cool it is that we have a space where we can just say things and have it be read by other people with no expectation to follow up if you don't feel like it, and how much it would suck if it became something like Twitter, where people let their ego and need to be right dictate the words being typed
And then I thought, surely Genghis wouldn't allow that to happen, right?
Anyway, Bisquick has been ruined for me, when I smell...
"Which then reminds me of the interesting thing Iceland does: they have a linguistics committee where part of their job is to come up with new words for foreign invented words using Icelandic roots so that their language doesn't just become too overrun with loaned words. For example the Icelandic word for 'computer' is Tölva, a fusion of 'tala' (number) and völva (prophetess)."
I demand we adopt this as a loanword. You kids can have your phones and tablets and apps. Me? I run a Tölva.

I'm in the midst of a multi-month deep dive into Gnosticism that's starting to bridge into some more occult directions.
I've been a Christian my entire life, and still am, but up until recently I had been very forcibly kept from alternative belief systems within and outside of Christianity. As a kid through my teenage years, I was kept from these exterior beliefs by my very devout and very traditional parents. Since my adulthood began up until months ago, I kept myself from these belief systems, largely...
Some people. I just can't...
Some people amaze me in a bad way, I just had a three hour train with the worst person ever.
Firstly they skipped the line when getting into the train loudly arguing with whoever opposed them. Then got mad when nobody wanted to help them with the stroller.
They had with them two kids (what seemed like a 2yr old and an less than 1yr old one) and they shouted and screamed the whole ride, now I don't fault the person for the behaviour of kids this young but at least try to keep them occupied. They were just...
here we go again
Hey this is a more sad or confused post so yeah

Update on the dark arts
I was finally able to fix the issue I explained last time. And the fix was...being connected to tailscale but not using the server as an exit node(plus some ip shenanigans). I was so exstatic that I decided to try to setup ollama with openwebui as frontend and searXNG as search engine but the web search functionality isn't working(and that is kind of bad news when working with 1b-7b models)
Strata, SVG > obj compiler
this is a cute little idea i had that turned out to be really really cool, it uses svg files, the shapes just have extra data attatched, and you can carve levels pretty easily. designed for fps/tps etc style levels but i imagine its rather versatile. still not finished yet but it will be soon. need to actually wire textures, markers, models.

Dear Mom,
Yesterday, Oleg and I were ordered to dislodge some Protivnik who were dug in on the Siversk side. I didn't understand why they paired me with him, not since Timosha was buried by a Samoletik. I'm stuck with this Pogranichnik from the West; his eye trembles and he speaks too loud.
As usual, he wanted to lead the dance; I let him. The area was crawling with drones, and it took us two hours just to get into the building at the extreme southwest edge of town. Oleg told me he'd seen movement...
I need folks to separate LLMs as a tool from the political and economic disagreements you have with the way it arrived.
I agree that video and image generating models should have been trained on images with permission and compensation. I disagree with the premise that open source code and produced knowledge bases should not have been used in training corpuses but I understand the argument.
But by misaligning the tool as being completely useless and entirely detrimental to society because you disagree...
The conceptual art for next year’s magic the gathering sets are quite exciting. Looking forward to weird sea creatures and giant Monsters. One concept was clearly inspired by red king which was cute. I’m assuming ikoria will come with more Godzilla stuff again.
I also found out about a gallery I could contribute to pretty late, but I’m still going to attempt to make something, do an label and mail it before the deadline. I have about three weeks to do everything- then I have to jump right back into my...
Just making some cultist in robes
glm::fract() and std::modf() give very different results for negative numbers. This is ruining my whole day.
