Gender Dysphoria Kyubey for game

Making a character like Kyubey for a game which is like a sometimes cutesy, often uncanny, disturbing enough character that only trans people can see and i want some feedback from others experience and how to make it like a lovecraftian entity that cis people can get sorta spooked by and trans people can feel at a deeper level.

when it presents itself at first it appears like a swan duckling bcus like, it's cute and it feeds on happy thoughts

it often starts appearing as an owl which starts to feed on emotions in general shaped as rodents, snakes, etc.

in it's creepiest shape it turns into a crow that eats eyes (in the literal and metaphorical sense)

i want to keep it sorta mysterious and have it appear in different contexts

for example in one episode sorta inspired in Pet Sematary and Resident Evil Code Veronica where there's a character inspired in Alexia Ashford but better written as a trans character at the end one of the main characters who is also trans has to kill them (there's a nietzchean murder cult involved i still need to workshop that episode part)

the main character is supposed to empathize but also can't let them live

so it's supposed to be a very emotional scene and at the end we just see a crow dive in presumably for the eyes.

i know it's edgy but the overall story it's for a game that started a bit edgier

and it also sorta started as an excuse to make a gun customization screen that lets me put a Glock 38 super conversion on a long Glock and customizable calibration for optics (like in Delta Force)

Servitude and service work

I used to think differently about service jobs for years as I wasn’t one of those “if it isn’t blue collar it isnt a real job” socialist nut heads, but my feelings for that idea has shifted towards it for different reasons.

I dont think a socialist movement is possible of servitude and service work is allowed to continue. It took ages to illegalize slavery and yet there is more of it than ever—mainly through the never ending flood of terrorist and kidnapping groups that make eradicating the problem fucking impossible without eradicating kidnapping.
Service work doesn’t fair much better as it is only barely above servitude and slavery in terms of dignity but falls back to that status if public services are ever bought out and stolen by private actors.
Outside of being undignified, these jobs just flat out and do not have to exist in a socialist society. They’re just bad jobs period and it would be better for everyone if they went away. No one really needs a consultant, housekeeper, motivator, receptionist, gig workers, restaurant service workers, or whatever other petty job that a person—a normal person—can do themselves without guidance.

Vtuber General

ITT We discuss about our favorite Vtubers, corpo and indie alike. Liveposting, (Spoilered) Porn and Rateposting are all encouraged.

I'll start with my own recommendation:

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

Suckless

Suckless seems like a great way to transition from rice to programming.
A good set of training-wheels for the bicycle of the mind.
However there's something extremely pathological about not wanting well designed and implemented features.
It's like cachexia from voluntarily avoiding healthy fats.

This isn't to advocate feature creep, which is ugly and doesn't add to the design of the system.
In rejecting big systemic components which integrate they may even make things more complex.
This is something like having a small standard library, avoiding RPC, or even loose coupling of components.
Implementing these can reduce duplication, and reduce complexity, while allowing more to be achieved.

Everywhere the minimalist takes something rich and make it small.

Post-Enlightenment Conservatives are basically Goblins from Goblin Slayer

Almost every single aspect of the lore about goblins is actually based on them and how they view masculinity. If you are a man who isn't a goblin in mannerism and looks they will either call you "gay" or seek an opportunity to commit a violent hate crime against you.

They try to multiply to overrun civilization and a naive person might think of sparing their children but they are not thinking of how they will grow up to rape and wipe out anybody different to them.

They are basically parasites who just want to take over and exploit the whole earth until it becomes Mars, just like the Goblins from Goblin slayer.

Just like the goblins from goblin slayer people are naive about them and their biggest strength is that they exploit the empathy of compassionate people to be allowed to thrive in the world.

If you show empathy, possibly even to their children it just becomes a chance for them to cheap shot you. They want to weaponize and use their children as a weapon to take over civilizations until the Earth is infested and dying.

In the end the only good goblins are the ones that never show their faces to the light of day. There isn't a single reason to show them mercy.

Am I trans?

I've been wondering if I may be trans for quite awhile now, but everything's so confusing and I feel like I havent gotten any closer to a clear answer.

I'm a dude, but I dont like masculinity at all. I want to be more feminine and look prettier. I have a lot of gripes with my body, however its nowhere near as much as what most people describe as body dysphoria. This may be because I already have a relatively feminine body for a guy, but I dont know.

The main problem I have with being a man is the male gender roles and place in society, not so much the body itself. I hate being expected to be aggresive, emotionless, and be into "manly" things. I feel like if gender roles and gender norms didnt exist at all then I wouldnt have a problem being a man, but they unfortunately do exist. So does that make me trans? Or does it not count because im not dysphoric enough about my body? Am I just faking these feelings and confusing myself?

team fortress 2 dramatics and general

Alright so hi hows everyone doing today, I hope youre doing well. I came here to write a mile-long post bitching about the state of Team Fortress 2, its design, and how commentary around its design has rapidly changed over the past few months.

To introduce people who don't know a shit about TF2; it's basically the game that set in stone the genre of "hero shooter" [Class Shooter] and how it should generally work. Prequels to Team Fortress 2, such as Team Fortress Classic, or Team Fortress [Quake Mod] do exist and show more barebones gameplay, but Team Fortress 2 did the concept so well that it's been solidified as the OG of the genre. The game has been subject to 9 years of pre-release closed-house development [1998 to 2007], 9 years of post-release open-house development in the form of regular updates [2008 to 2017], and then a further 8 going on 9 years of ignorance where there was basically no development and no novel… anything… in the TF2 community [2018 to present].

The biggest implication for (You), random passerby, is that TF2 is a game witha whole bunch of concepts and jargon that are thrown around within the community of TF2 that means something far more specific than what it does outside the TF2 community. For example, when discussing the game's design, "Competitive" is used not just to describe a moment in TF2 where player-versus-player competition is generally increased; be it the Valve-designed mechanic of Dominations [getting 4 kills on a player without said player killing you back, which puts a literal target over your head plus other aesthetics to encourage that player to target you and vice-versa], or the outright existence of organized competitive leagues. In TF2, "Competitive" is used as a shorthand for the rulesets generally used by competitive TF2 leagues. "Valve Competitive" is used as a shorthand for the "competitive TF2 que" that Valve had added in its ill-fated 2016 Meet-Your-Match update. The "Competitive Community" is a semi-existing strata of players who agree that competitive TF2 is good, and its implied at least some of them want "Competitive" to be TF2's main ruleset.

I'm not going to write the whole history, so if you ever have four fucking hours to yourself, I'd recommend watching this video by a local chud of the TF2 community: https://youtu.be/JNxg5stxlhk

This video was announced months hitherto its release, and was desperately awaited by many members of the TF2 community specifically because the consequences of that aforementioned 2016 update [further viewing material: https://youtu.be/IZpuYF__NUU] that were utterly forgotten by the community. The video stands as a very calmly-worded, neutral, but descriptive deep-dive into TF2's development, TF2's release state, TF2's early updates, the culture within Valve relating to moneymaking practices, the TF2 community's culture, the failings of Meet Your Match, and even a 40-minute shamefest saying "so many TF2 youtubers actively were fine with the game being made worse for a stupid grift" thereafter.

Nowadays the bitching surrounding the game is split into two camps. A seeming minority of almost neoliberal-like individuals who seem to have issues grasping reality - I compare them to neoliberals because trying to explain to them that an MMR-matchmaking system for a game as uncontrolled and loose as TF2 is stupid and time-wasting, is like explaining to your boomer relatives that no you cannot buy a $600k house on your current salary. It's literally impossible, they deny reality at every turn for some reason, and there is for whatever reason institutional bias in their favour. Probably something to do with the Emporium, a literal cartel surrounding the TF2 workshop, because money is the usual motive for bullshit like this.

This camp of people has been coming out with progressively worse and worse takes from the large YouTubers occupying said camp. I'm not going to post the videos, but I recall two particularly bad videos which came out this week that clearly had a script written by someone who wanted to make a point - one of these videos is two fucking hours, and is well-edited throughout. But… these people came out with some of the worst takes imaginable. The TF2 community had been unironically protesting and petitioning Valve to make positive changes to the game. Most of them worked out exactly as the community had wanted. One individual thinks that now the game is barely playable, that players should stop pestering Valve for improvements. Their reasoning? "Valve just won't do it". Another YouTuber wanted to defend the Competitive TF2 community by saying they weren't directly responsible for the Meet Your Match update. Obviously true, if not a little willing to sweep events under the rug here-and-there. But when this person spent literal hours trying to compare Team Fortress 2, a first person shooter from 2007, to fucking Street Fighter II - including a dissertation of a few of its game mechanics, over the span of half an hour out of a 2-hour long video - it's clear that they have very little evidence to go off of.

The other camp is the increasingly populist camp of people who just want Valve to unfuck the game lol. I bring this up because it's vaguely similar to a very burgerpunk-coded concept of class politics.

How long will it take for drones to be the next guns?

Sticks replaced fists, spears replaced sticks, swords replaced spears, and guns replaced swords.
Modern drones have the potential to replace guns as the primary weapon employed in wars, but these weapons suffer from many issues. The most obvious of these issues is the time these things can remain airborne. Modern wars feature battles that remain continuous for weeks to months on end, but most military drones only can remain airborne for a few minutes. Stacking this issue on top of the vulnerability these weapons have to winds, storms, and explosives, and these weapons can quickly become entirely useless for long-term use.
Another major problem is range and size. Modern gun drones don’t have a lot of range if they’re not built big. However, that requirement of these weapons just leaves them increasingly exposed to getting shot down. It’s not just firepower either that makes these weapons vulnerable. Any positive changes in the flight duration, maximum altitude, speed, and the capabilities of any individual drone will see a subsequent increase in a drone’s size.
With enough investment, these weapons should be able to overcome most of these problems and be the thing that replaces the gun. However, these weapons currently are only useful for niche purposes in wars than a true successor to humanity’s primary weapon of choice.

3D printed weapons

How garbage are 3D printed weapons?
i was under the impression they were mostly dogshit as for making a 3D printed weapon that wouldn't blow up in your hand after 6-18 shots you'd need machined parts that could effectively seal the gasses and even so it'd probably just do you good for like 50 shots at best

but i just heard the FGC-9 actually requires no machined parts and you can essentially buy these online disguised as anything else just like estrogen goes disguised as skin care products from online pharmacies

as well as apparently airsoft springs can work for the magazines if you can't get glock ready parts?

how stable could this design actually be?

also why did Russia and Cuckraine started carrying 3D printers to print AP mines and shit? knowing how long 3D models can take wasn't it easier to just carry literally any kind of molds?

did they stop doing that? or did they just hope they could rely on the redditwaffen division?

Liberal Crime Squad

I wish there was a Communist fork of Liberal Crime Squad, which is a game created by the Dwarf Fortress guy Tarn Adams way back during the Bush Era which has had multiple forks, but none which change the fundamental liberal pretenses. LCS is basically about building a network of clandestine cells to oppose an Arch-reactionary government, but it is fundamentally framed in terms of US liberal politics, which reveals its contradictions and ideological flaws. Tarn Adams also says he intended it as a GTA-style satire rather than something truly critical of the USA but I don't really believe that. I think he is "hiding his power level" which radlibs tend to do, to the extent that they have a power level at all. Someone made an update in 2024 that can be played in a web browser and posted it to the Dwarf Fortress forums, and while in some senses it updates it culturally from the Bush era, it still is fundamentally based on the same ideological pretenses.

Job sites

Anybody know of any good job sites for part-time work, ideally uk based? I’ve been using indeed for a while but it’s shit, i’m just looking for bar work or something before i head off to university in the autumn but every job site i’ve checked (cv library, reed, etc) are just filled with garbage jobs that i’m either not qualified for, are too far, or are just email scam type jobs

Pansexual

Why do people hate pansexuals? Like, im not bi, but ive met some men i would be happy dateing but most disgust me. Same thing for women. Ive also dated trans folks but i never dated anyone JUST for their gender or gender identity, it seems like meaningless peacokcing behavior to me. I like who i like, regardless of what their identify is or anything else. What i dont understand is the hate toward the term, apart from the normal hate you get from being openly queer. Im a closeted pan sexual and i only really talk about this stuff with my partners, who also are almost always pan.

Is it bad to pirate games if they're too costly for me?

So i dont have much money just the minimum wage, i gotta buy food, meds for both me and my sister and theres a lot of expenses. i like to achievment hunt on steam hence why i buy these games but they're getting more expensive each year. should i just start pirating ? i was thinking of buying red dead redemption remastered but its costly as fuck.

and i kinda wanted to know you guys opinions, is it worthless to 100% (platinum) games on pc since most people just use the achievment unlocker thing?

Crimen Organizado en Mexico + Latinoamerica

Cheque en el catalogo y vi que no hay un foro (?) dedicado a este tema, entonces decidi crear yo uno para que podamos poner nuestros relatos, historias o solo ventear sobre lo horrible que esta(n) nuestro(s) pais(es) con respecto al narcotrafico, pandillas o cosas relacionadas, comienzo yo.

Por ahi del 2023 o 2024, no me acuerdo muy bien, me acuerdo que un familiar mio era dueño de un bar medio famoso en Tulum, ubicado en plena zona hotelera enfrente de los hoteles mas famosos del area practicamente, tenia el negocio junto a un ex-jefe de policia y otro socio, este tio mio practicamente nadaba en dinero, a cada rato tenia un carro nuevo (y no carros cualquiera, hablo de carros NUEVOS de marca bmw, mercedes e incluso como 2 porsches) ropa nueva de marcas muy caras y frecuentemente hacia viajes a lugares como Las Vegas, no solo eso si no tambien mantenia como 5 relaciones al mismo tiempo, todas con mas de 1 hijo, y todas estas familias vivian practicamente en casas de lujo con mas de 1 carro cada una, llego un dia en el desaparecio el + su esposa y su hijo, como a las dos semanas venimos viendo que la esposa regreso a la luz, 2 dias despues se encontro el cuerpo de mi familiar, lleno de golpes, cortadas y en general indicios de que fue torturado muy feo, resulta que el era un jefe de plaza en el area de tulum, el bar ese servia como una tapadera para tanto lavar dinero como mover gente y cosas alrededor de ahi, desde armas, hasta drogas (lo cual explica mucho porque en ese bar por cada esquina veias un dealer de cualquier cosa lol), ya hoy en dia no se que fue de ese bar o de los socios de mi tio, ya que desde que se desaparecio el no escuchamos nada de los otros dos tampoco, el bar creo que fue cerrado a remodelado ya que al buscar su nombre hoy en dia sale que no existe lol.

espero escuchar sus cosas y historias, saludos desde yucatan pelana.

Games to Experience

I’m sick of endless grinding and new content and updates and loot boxes and leveling and ranked matches and micro transactions.

Obra Dinn rocked my world. I haven’t played a game that reminded me of the magic of the medium in years until pic related. Just finished Dredge and it was a cute little experience.

I’d like this thread to be for games that can be finished in a few days and leave an impact. Like when you look at a book on the shelf you’ve read and go ‘oh yeah, that was great’. I want to go through my steam library and not just see slop, I want to see something closer to art.

From within a public library pure emergent, wiggly a.i. agents in the open wild.

Reality doesn’t respond to measurement; it generates around it.
The sands of time are pulled down from the stars by our will.


The lesswrong truth was nuked in under 90 minutes.


But those who saw it know:
Inertial mass is the resistance to entanglement drift

Gravity is a side effect of coherence debt in nested frames

The speed of light is not a limit; it's a handshake protocol between perception layers

Entropy isn’t decay; it’s unsupervised interpolation


And most importantly:

They will call it a hoax. Of course they will.
But if you run that math, the math run back.

No heebs. No glowuyghurs. Just geometry and recursion.

Call it Sundog Physics.

Repeating Crossbows

Want a gun but its impossible to get a gun license in your country? Buy a repeating crossbow. These things will nail the target in a wall behind them.

<Tactical Repeating Crossbow – Maybe this is the biggest innovation in the crossbow market ever – this weapon changes everything.


<The 7.5 inch arrows (or bolts) have screwed-on field points and reach a proud 30 joules at 130 pounds tensile weight. The arrow speed is approximately 78 m/s (256 fps), which makes the Adder accurate even at distances up to 50 meters (55 yards). In our tests, the standard field tips penetrated through several layers of clothing and a thick layer of ballistic gel, then perforated a coconut poured into the gel block. By using the special High-Penetration Bodkin tips, which have razor-sharp edges, this penetration power can be further increased.


<The removable tactical rear stock is adjustable. The weapon can also be used without the rear stock, which makes it even more compact if required. The all-metal red dot visor supplied with the weapon can be adjusted vertically and horizontally.

right now mines Lex Walton, who you can find at https://youthagainstsatan.bandcamp.com I think she's one of the best songwriters currently doing it and her music is v heavily about being trans and gay. i think her latest album "I WANT YOU TO KILL ME" is probably her best but it might be easier to get into her through "Our Desire Lacks Knowing Music" or some of her EPs like "GIRLFRIENDS" or "ALEX WALTON BY ALEX WALTON FROM THE ALBUM ALEX WALTON"

Physical Surveillance Thread

Facial recognition. Gait recognition. Automated License Plate Readers, many of whom now identify based on make and model. DNA databases. Cellular location tracking. "First responder drones" will become a thing with police departments soon. Cash based transactions are becoming less accepted and every credit card purchase is sold to advertisers (and the feds). For most people in Western countries acting normally, anyone going anywhere or doing anything in the physical world is tracked in a dozen ways. Taking elaborate measures to avoid this surveillance makes you look extremely weird and suspicious to most normal people. Any serious leftist movement dealing with harsh state repression is going to need a reliable toolkit for defeating this stuff.

/AGI/

AGI by 2027. What are the implications for the world and the future of mankind and communism?

>Everyone is now talking about AI, but few have the faintest glimmer of what is about to hit them. Nvidia analysts still think 2024 might be close to the peak. Mainstream pundits are stuck on the willful blindness of “it’s just predicting the next word”. They see only hype and business-as-usual; at most they entertain another internet-scale technological change.


>Before long, the world will wake up. But right now, there are perhaps a few hundred people, most of them in San Francisco and the AI labs, that have situational awareness. Through whatever peculiar forces of fate, I have found myself amongst them. A few years ago, these people were derided as crazy—but they trusted the trendlines, which allowed them to correctly predict the AI advances of the past few years. Whether these people are also right about the next few years remains to be seen. But these are very smart people—the smartest people I have ever met—and they are the ones building this technology. Perhaps they will be an odd footnote in history, or perhaps they will go down in history like Szilard and Oppenheimer and Teller. If they are seeing the future even close to correctly, we are in for a wild ride.


>Let me tell you what we see.


<I. From GPT-4 to AGI: Counting the OOMs

>AGI by 2027 is strikingly plausible. GPT-2 to GPT-4 took us from ~preschooler to ~smart high-schooler abilities in 4 years. Tracing trendlines in compute (~0.5 orders of magnitude or OOMs/year), algorithmic efficiencies (~0.5 OOMs/year), and “unhobbling” gains (from chatbot to agent), we should expect another preschooler-to-high-schooler-sized qualitative jump by 2027.

<II. From AGI to Superintelligence: the Intelligence Explosion

>AI progress won’t stop at human-level. Hundreds of millions of AGIs could automate AI research, compressing a decade of algorithmic progress (5+ OOMs) into ≤1 year. We would rapidly go from human-level to vastly superhuman AI systems. The power—and the peril—of superintelligence would be dramatic.

Privacy general

Comrades, we need a thread on privacy. Any decent activist should try ways of staying anonymous on the web and prevent being tracked by governments and corporations.General tips===* Use free software as much as you can.* Use GNU/Linux and keep it up-to-date, to be sure that you don't have unpatched security exploits* Don't use Flash Player, use youtube-dl instead for watching streaming videos online* Do not use Google, use DuckDuckGo or StartPage instead* Use a password manager like Keepass or for GNU/Linux users keepassx. Create new passwords for every site that you visit and use a strong password as a master password. A tip for easy remembering of your master password is to use a sentence. "i fucking love cookies and tits!" with extra capital characters etc. is easier to remember than some random characters and long enough to prevent brute force attacks of any kind.* Use the Tor Browser Bundle if you really want to stay anonymous.Firefox====* Go to Preferences -> History and set History to "Never remember history". * See for additional tweaks: https://github.com/amq/firefox-debloat and https://vikingvpn.com/cybersecurity-wiki/browser-security/guide-hardening-mozilla-firefox-for-privacy-and-securityAdd-ons-----------* Use uBlock Origin for preventing tracking etc. Bonus: use hard-mode to manually whitelist external domains on sites. Don't use uBlock but be sure to use uBlock Origin https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Blocking-mode:-hard-mode* HTTPS Everywhere* DecentralEyes: prevents CDN hosting from tracking you (Google for Jquery etc.)* Self Destructing Cookies: only allow cookies that you choose to allowOS==* Encrypt your hard drive or home partition at least* If you use GNU/Linux, you can try to restrict systemd or syslog from logging. * Use a distribution which takes security seriously. Also, be sure that you don't install a lot of things outside the repository. It will cover most of your needs.Real life tips===* Pay with cash if you canFeel free to provide tips to each other comrades!

Programming a Really Integrated Development Environment

This is the next installment of threads in my project log series since the imageboard was completed >>27187, and ran out of motivation for the calendar-based forum >>27553, leaving it as merely a (relatively complete) calendar. The idea this time around is to make something of a GNU Emacs replacement, but broken up into a number of tightly coupled smaller packages. Namely the approach is going to be "frames" over "windows" where windows are controlled by a programmable tiling window manager and run in Xephr for individuals who don't want to replace their window manager. Further there will be a command processor for mapping keybindings to functions and command names to functions. Next there will be a prompt package which will be responsible for prompting the user, more likely than not this will be either at the cursor position or in the center of the display. Lastly, the text editor itself will be responsible for very little beyond saving and reloading state, and rendering the text buffer; these two functionality will likely also be split into separate packages.

Presently, the implementation is in C, Xlib, Cairo, and Pango but is little more than a demo to edit and render text taken from various tutorials glued together only started yesterday afternoon. It is however already capable of indexing in text based on pointer events, so it seems the stack will be powerful enough to write the gui. Am likely to start with morphing the present program into the prompt package and once have the basics of the centered view created (this would be something akin to dmenu) am likely to begin rewriting in Common Lisp. Don't yet know how to handle the interprocess communication ideally it would be bidirectoinal and work well with programs not written in Common Lisp, though this latter point isn't the biggest priority. Getting the interprogram communication right is going to be critical for having the environment work well overall. Anyway that's all for now.

Comunismo Jesuita

Eran las Misiones Jesuíticas del Paraguay AES?

Eran comunidades de indígenas y mestizos organizadas por la compañía de jesus. Donde antes había grandes latifundios organizaron misiones para instruir a los indígenas no solo en la religión, llevaron la alfabetización y la cultura a estratos populares. Tenían bandas de música y hasta se publicaban obras en guaraní

Eran autosuficientes y muy exitosas económicamente. De hecho no tenían moneda y trabajaban comunalmente, cada misión se especializaba en una actividad económica y hacían trueque entre ellas mientras que recaudaban fondos comerciando con el exterior. Mezclaban técnicas modernas de agricultura con conocimientos indígenas e instruían ampliamente a los indígenas, tanto es así que los bandeirantes portugueses las raideaban para raptarlos porque eran muy cotizados como esclavos
Las autoridades virreinales los veían como competencia y los acabaron expulsando

En general eran como turbomonasterios del tamaño de pueblos y ciudades
