Im trying to start voice training but every beginners guide and youtube tutorial just makes no sense to me. Theyll say some shit like "Widen the airspace of your throat while quadrupling your resonance" and then all the comments are like "Wow! This tutorial explajined things so simply for me!" while im just left completely and utterly frustrated and lost. Am I just too stupid?

To me this seems to be the atom of abstraction.
So there should be a lot to talk about if we can overcome the scale.
Was recently reading some about DDD [^1] the basic idea being as follows:
- Use ubiquitous language: the language used in the business domain, in coordination with experts
- Divide the language into contexts which assign a unique meaning to each word.
Typically this means division into microservices or separate programs, but it might work okay with modular monoliths.
At a more basic level there is the division of variable names grammatically. [^2]
- transitive verb with direct object: function
- linking verb with predicative adjective: predicate
- transitive verb: method
- singular noun-phrase: non-boolean datum
- predicative adjective: boolean datum
- plural: when multiple entities
- abbreviation: when scope is small
The idea with both of these is to reuse existing language processing for programming.
Anyone have any refinements?

Engels’ On Authority is razor-sharp essay of pure scientific fact—1,386 words—that dismantles anarchist utopianism with upmost efficiency. It takes 5 minutes to read and leaves no room for debate: society itself, revolution, all basic social functions, etc., require some form of authority. This is not an opinion; it is observable fact.
https://theanarchistlibrary.org/library/judgesabo-read-on-authority
Yet here we have some terminally online anarchist penning a 52,000-word monstrosity in response. That’s 37 times longer than Engels’ original piece. The anarchist spends 79 hours' worth of handwriting time (LMAO) crafting this screed. The sheer volume of this "refutation" is itself proof of its intellectual bankruptcy. The Ratio of Copium to Substance is vast, as with all anarchist refutation of socialist theory. Endless semantic quibbling, ("But what is authority, really?") endless circular logic, along with citing hundred other liberals culminates in a pathetic monument to ideological impotence—a 50,000-word confession that anarchism cannot refute Marxism on substance, so it must drown the debate in verbosity. Engels needed just 1,400 words to prove authority’s necessity because material reality speaks for itself—factories need managers, trains need schedules, and revolutions need discipline. The anarchist’s bloated treatise, by contrast, is what happens when unsounded petty-bourgeois individualism tries to deny the objective laws of social organization: an embarrassing tantrum disguised as scholarship, its very length an admission of defeat.

<hurrr but who would work without profit motive???? you ever thought about that commie?
where fans have for one reason or another put in a great deal of time and effort to maintain or recreate digital experiences.
For example, I stumbled on some videos for a fan recreation of TIE fighter which, from the clips of it, looks really neat. It seems like video related is a mod based off of another mod for the million year old X-wing Alliance engine. I need to look further into it and see if it's built off of the original game, or its own standalone deal meant to mimic it.
Then there's also Tamriel Reborn that seems like it isn't just a remake of the original, but actually expands on the original Morrowind, I guess to add back in all of the content that had to be cut. Apparently they've been going at it since 2001.

Rie Himemiya from Phase Connect [EN] Gen 2 Phase Alias. A Vsinger with great covers and original songs such as Love Potion #520 and ゲテモノ (Bizarre Food) / Utsu-P ♡ to give you two examples.
Her streams as of now center around variety gaming such as her recent playthrough of Pokémon HG/SS as her first Pokémon game although she is mostly focused on Limbus Company and Library of Ruina as well as community projects like Date Ideas for Valentines season or making a love song out of Schizophrenic Maros.
However I do recommend her older VODs as well such as Sandtrix or Gayraoke for her humor and great chat interaction. If you want something more recent check out her 100 songs for 100k Christmas Special from last year. Remember to do your reps and backreading

Wonder Woman vs Goku thread
Yeah that’s right, I think this matchup is actually one of the closest fiction has to offer and is far more plausible than the decades long Goku vs superman debates. Superman is a lazily written brawler whose strongest forms (one million and cosmic armour) aren’t even canon to the main plot. Superman has also lost a lot of times in canon to Diana in open combat just off the fact that Diana is far more skilled and experienced in close quarters combat than superman could ever dream to be. This ultimately makes the debate between who would win in this matchup a lot more interesting. A literal demigod trained by gods possessing untold levels of martial prowess and power vs an alien whose trained in martial arts his whole life developing some of the strongest powerups and fighting techniques known to fiction who has also been trained by dieties.

Anyways, I think the anime is alright and definitely overrated. It‘s too short, the story is oddly convoluted and I am personally not happy with the ending. I like sadporn kind of anime but there was neither a real happy ending nor was there a tragic ending. It was a mediocre resolution.

Does anyone here have some knowledge in the matter? Can anyone recommend a study process or bibliography? Should one first read the basic textbooks of histoire événementielle and later on deepen the matter or skip directly to the socioeconomic outlook?
I am very lost in this matter and I don't know where to begin, and I'm sure a lot of people are in the same situation in here. And I believe it is very important to have, at least, a broad outlook on the progression of economic history until capitalism, to maybe deepen more specifically in modern history and economics, but with a general view of what came before and the evolution of the present mode of production.
Ancient economy?
When it comes to the study of ancient economic history, one is faced with serious difficulties as a beginner. The usual textbooks normally cover the "histoire événementielle", i.e., the succession of notable historical events and actors (the surface of history), while the works that do cover ancient socioeconomic history are hard to find or outdated, such as Finley's famous book.Does anyone here have some knowledge in the matter?

im trying to learn how to draw, just basic things from cups to pepper shakers, and yet i can't figure it out. i'm told to learn how to draw with "perspective" and then am hit with a lorry load fo terms and language used to describe concepts that are never elaborated on and are presumably expected to just be inherently "understood".
i'm basically fucked in this regard, and will live hte next 60 years of my life in misery that i cannot draw. no, "just git gud" won't work you fucking american; some people are born naturally good and are then given the environment to cultivate their skills. I was not. This is called "being shit out of luck", and is hard for narcissistic people to understand, because to them it's either always them 100% them or everyone else's fault.

Former alt-right here, what books and content can I read up upon to educate myself besides the typical "Karl Marx" content?
The past few years have been really eye-opening to me especially as someone that has had to deal with the threat of homelessness, and the general prevalence that more vacant houses exist than homeless people. I'm conscious of the fact that the problem has inherently been the american system itself rather than any outside forces. We should care more about our own damn people than any random person from another nation. We have a massive military budget that could be used for better things.

Open source operating systems are software communism. If we’re not willing to build and use existing forms of technological sovereignty and anti-capitalism, then we’re probably not willing to do any other forms of communism either. I hate the “No ethical consumption under capitalism” mantra. How do we expect to get out of capitalism without building alternatives? I think a lot of leftists hope a revolution will happen then just magically replace all the corrupt and bourgeois components of consumerism, using the same uninvolved passive mechanisms.

Microsoft is the CIA. Pretty much all US big tech is. Windows is a global CIA mass surveillance program via monopoly capitalism.

GrapheneOS cannot be fully trusted because it runs on Google's proprietary hardware stack, which remains a critical vulnerability. While GrapheneOS markets itself as a privacy-focused alternative, its security is undermined by the fact that it operates on devices like Google's Pixel smartphones—hardware designed and controlled entirely by Google. Unlike other OEMs, Google does not merely integrate off-the-shelf components; it designs its own processors (e.g., Tensor chips) and develops the closed-source firmware and software that power them. Other manufacturers receive binary blobs from chipmakers, which they cannot modify, but Google retains unilateral authority to embed hidden functionalities or surveillance mechanisms directly into the hardware-software ecosystem.
This means Google could inject malicious code into the processor’s firmware—code that operates independently of Android (and thus independently of GrapheneOS itself). Such malware would run at the hardware level, bypassing the operating system entirely and evading detection. If Google exploits this capability in its proprietary GApps, the same logic applies to the foundational software controlling its processors. Since GrapheneOS cannot audit or modify these closed-source components, users are left exposed to potential backdoors.
If you trust GrapheneOS on Pixel devices, you must also trust Google’s closed-source hardware stack—the very same infrastructure that could enable pervasive surveillance. In that case, there is no meaningful distinction between GrapheneOS and stock Android; both rely on Google’s opaque technology. Conversely, if you reject GApps and Google’s data harvesting, you cannot reconcile that distrust with reliance on Google’s hardware. To truly deGoogle, you must abandon devices where the manufacturer controls the silicon itself.

Manufactured Enemies, Managed Wars: From the Cold War to the War on Terror
By the late 2000s, the curtain had been pulled back on America’s “perpetual enemy machine.” The Cold War, the War on Terror, and even cultural products like *Metal Gear Solid* all reveal the same pattern: empires manufacture threats in order to sustain war economies. The names change — communists, terrorists, rogue states — but the structure remains constant.
—
## Supplying the Enemy: Jordan and Sutton
Major George Racey Jordan, stationed at Great Falls during World War II, kept meticulous diaries of shipments moving to the Soviet Union under Lend-Lease. Among the cargo: uranium, heavy water, and precision instruments for nuclear development. Jordan later testified that Washington “deliberately built up the Soviet atomic arsenal.”
Historian Anthony C. Sutton confirmed the broader picture: Western corporations built the Soviet industrial base. “The United States government was, in effect, financing its own enemy,” Sutton wrote in *National Suicide: Military Aid to the Soviet Union* (1973). Ford Motor built the Gorky plant, Standard Oil supplied fuel, and General Electric exported electrical infrastructure.
—
## The Iron Fist of Capital
Kevin Carson, in his 2001 essay *The Iron Fist Behind the Invisible Hand*, argued that capitalism as we know it is inseparable from state power:
> “What we call the ‘free market’ is in practice a set of monopolies, cartels, and privileges maintained by force of law and police power.”
Carson’s framework reframes Sutton’s research: collusion wasn’t an aberration, but the system’s essence. State capitalism requires enemies, subsidies, and permanent crisis.
—
## Zbigniew Brzezinski and Henry Kissinger: The Elite Blueprint
This logic wasn’t hidden. It was articulated by America’s own strategists.
Zbigniew Brzezinski, in *The Grand Chessboard* (1997), bluntly admitted:
> “America’s capacity to exercise global primacy is directly dependent on how long and how effectively its preponderance on the Eurasian continent is sustained.”
Henry Kissinger was even more candid about war as management:
> “Control oil and you control nations; control food and you control the people.”
These aren’t slip-ups. They are the quiet part spoken aloud: power requires engineered scarcity and dependency.
—
## The U.S.–Israel Axis
Noam Chomsky has long emphasized that U.S. support for Israel is not about democracy but about strategy:
> “Israel has become a kind of offshore U.S. military base in the Middle East.” (*The Fateful Triangle*, 1983)
Whitney Webb has extended these critiques into the 21st century, tracing networks linking Israeli intelligence firms, Wall Street financiers, and Silicon Valley platforms. The “special relationship” is not sentimental. It is structural: an integrated war economy.
—
## Cultural Mirror: The Metal Gear Saga
The *Metal Gear Solid* series (1987–2015) is perhaps the clearest cultural allegory of this collusion. Hideo Kojima’s games dramatize the military-industrial complex as a secret network — “the Patriots” — that manipulates conflicts to perpetuate its own dominance.
* In *MGS2*, the Patriots manufacture “terrorist” threats to justify control over information flows.
* In *MGS3*, the Cold War is shown as a stage-managed conflict, with superpowers colluding behind the scenes.
* In *MGS4*, war becomes fully privatized: PMCs (Private Military Companies) fight endless, meaningless battles, sustained by nanomachine control systems — a critique of the War on Terror’s corporate dependency.
Kojima’s fiction resonates with Sutton and Carson: the enemy is constructed, the battlefield is managed, and war becomes the operating system of global power.
—
## The Pattern
* Jordan’s diaries: the U.S. helped build Stalin’s bomb.
* Sutton’s histories: Wall Street built the Soviet economy.
* Carson’s analysis: capitalism runs on subsidies and violence.
* Webb’s investigations: 21st-century intelligence, finance, and tech form a single network.
* Chomsky: U.S.–Israel policy is about domination, not defense.
* Brzezinski and Kissinger: global primacy requires crisis and control.
* Kojima’s *Metal Gear*: culture reflects the machinery of manufactured enemies.
—
## Conclusion: Breaking the Machine
The Cold War was a business deal. The War on Terror is, too. The enemy is never communism or terrorism — it is empire itself, feeding on crisis.
Unless we strip away the illusion, we remain like Snake in *Metal Gear Solid 2*, trapped in a simulation of war designed to condition obedience. The challenge is not just to expose the collusion, but to refuse its logic.
As Carson reminds us, the invisible hand is a fist.
And as Chomsky has said for decades, democracy is only real when people dismantle the manufactured consent machine.
Corporate Manufactured Conflict
Manufactured Enemies, Managed Wars: From the Cold War to the War on Terror
By the late 2000s, the curtain had been pulled back on America’s “perpetual enemy machine.” The Cold War, the War on Terror, and even cultural products like *Metal Gear Solid* all reveal the same pattern: empires manufacture threats in order to sustain war economies. The names change — communists, terrorists, rogue states — but the structure remains constant.

## Supplying the Enemy: Jordan and Sutton
Major George Racey Jordan, stationed at Great Falls during World War II, kept meticulous diaries of shipments moving to the Soviet Union under Lend-Lease. Among the cargo: uranium, heavy water, and precision instruments for nuclear development. Jordan later testified that Washington “deliberately built up the Soviet atomic arsenal.”
Historian Anthony C. Sutton confirmed the broader picture: Western corporations built the Soviet industrial base. “The United States government was, in effect, financing its own enemy,” Sutton wrote in *National Suicide: Military Aid to the Soviet Union* (1973). Ford Motor built the Gorky plant, Standard Oil supplied fuel, and General Electric exported electrical infrastructure.
—
## The Iron Fist of Capital
Kevin Carson, in his 2001 essay *The Iron Fist Behind the Invisible Hand*, argued that capitalism as we know it is inseparable from state power:
> “What we call the ‘free market’ is in practice a set of monopolies, cartels, and privileges maintained by force of law and police power.”
Carson’s framework reframes Sutton’s research: collusion wasn’t an aberration, but the system’s essence. State capitalism requires enemies, subsidies, and permanent crisis.
—
## Zbigniew Brzezinski and Henry Kissinger: The Elite Blueprint
This logic wasn’t hidden. It was articulated by America’s own strategists.
Zbigniew Brzezinski, in *The Grand Chessboard* (1997), bluntly admitted:
> “America’s capacity to exercise global primacy is directly dependent on how long and how effectively its preponderance on the Eurasian continent is sustained.”
Henry Kissinger was even more candid about war as management:
> “Control oil and you control nations; control food and you control the people.”
These aren’t slip-ups. They are the quiet part spoken aloud: power requires engineered scarcity and dependency.
—
## The U.S.–Israel Axis
Noam Chomsky has long emphasized that U.S. support for Israel is not about democracy but about strategy:
> “Israel has become a kind of offshore U.S. military base in the Middle East.” (*The Fateful Triangle*, 1983)
Whitney Webb has extended these critiques into the 21st century, tracing networks linking Israeli intelligence firms, Wall Street financiers, and Silicon Valley platforms. The “special relationship” is not sentimental. It is structural: an integrated war economy.
—
## Cultural Mirror: The Metal Gear Saga
The *Metal Gear Solid* series (1987–2015) is perhaps the clearest cultural allegory of this collusion. Hideo Kojima’s games dramatize the military-industrial complex as a secret network — “the Patriots” — that manipulates conflicts to perpetuate its own dominance.
* In *MGS2*, the Patriots manufacture “terrorist” threats to justify control over information flows.
* In *MGS3*, the Cold War is shown as a stage-managed conflict, with superpowers colluding behind the scenes.
* In *MGS4*, war becomes fully privatized: PMCs (Private Military Companies) fight endless, meaningless battles, sustained by nanomachine control systems — a critique of the War on Terror’s corporate dependency.
Kojima’s fiction resonates with Sutton and Carson: the enemy is constructed, the battlefield is managed, and war becomes the operating system of global power.
—
## The Pattern
* Jordan’s diaries: the U.S. helped build Stalin’s bomb.
* Sutton’s histories: Wall Street built the Soviet economy.
* Carson’s analysis: capitalism runs on subsidies and violence.
* Webb’s investigations: 21st-century intelligence, finance, and tech form a single network.
* Chomsky: U.S.–Israel policy is about domination, not defense.
* Brzezinski and Kissinger: global primacy requires crisis and control.
* Kojima’s *Metal Gear*: culture reflects the machinery of manufactured enemies.
—
## Conclusion: Breaking the Machine
The Cold War was a business deal. The War on Terror is, too. The enemy is never communism or terrorism — it is empire itself, feeding on crisis.
Unless we strip away the illusion, we remain like Snake in *Metal Gear Solid 2*, trapped in a simulation of war designed to condition obedience. The challenge is not just to expose the collusion, but to refuse its logic.
As Carson reminds us, the invisible hand is a fist.
And as Chomsky has said for decades, democracy is only real when people dismantle the manufactured consent machine.

The engines:
>Unreal
>Unity
>Godot
>Cocos
>etc.
Go pickup one of these engines and start deving. My advice is don't ever get too caught up with reinventing the wheel if your goal is gamedev. Even people who want to "develop their own engine" are using a million frameworks. If you're developing a 3D game, you're going to use a preexisting graphics engine instead of developing one yourself because that would be pointless. You are not going to improve on the graphics engines developed by 1000s of engineers smarter than yourself. It's a lot of advanced trigonometry, I foolishly bought a graphics programming book when I was young and dumb and overly ambitious. There's no point to it.
So basically every game engine works fundamentally in the exact same way. The only difference might be more in the realm of performance handling, but unless you're like a computer genius, that's not even relevant to you. Unreal gives you full access to the source code. If you're so smart you can decipher it and modify it to your heart's content. I recommend real. I'm no programming whiz, but what actually counts:GAMEPLAY PROGRAMMING is very intuitive. It's very easy. If you can write out the rules for a board game, you could easily write those same rules out in code. That's how simple and intuitive gameplay programming is.
