Same with writing and image generation. It can give you ideas or handle little details like making sure all your commas are in the right place, the formatting is cohesive, and that you used the right your / you’re, or filling in grass or sky textures in the background or putting a bit of polish on a finished image but it definitely requires some editing to get a truly cohesive final result.

I feel like it was in the first 3rd or so? To me that counts more as setup than anything else. The rest of it has been more of the implications, how it works, and what to do about it, which I would consider more to be spoilers.

Oh thank you! I couldn’t find a sub for it but that makes sense now that I see it.

Nope! My partner just happened to read it lately and recommended it.

yeah idk if they’ll ever include that much detail in the game, and if I try to do all that I’ll be working on this for weeks and my partner is already pissed about having done both the laundry AND dishes this weekend… but I definitely appreciate the ideas! Maybe something to try after a few more generations of lifesim games!

I wonder if the fatigue mechanics would make that a less desirable strategy, but in either case idk if I want it to be that hard. In particular I’m trying to make part of figuring it out sort of realizing what those rules / constraints are, but in a way that just gets you to the solution faster rather than eliminating a total brute force solution which would require less thinking but would definitely take longer.

😂😆🤣

OMG it’s wild that you would say that because I’m actually reading (listening to really) Snow Crash by Neil Stephenson as I’m making this! If you’ve never read it a pretty big plot point is a Brown Note image that looks like noise but that will scramble people’s brains if they have enough of an affinity for computer languages.

one of the ways that I get a paranoid schizophrenia patient to eat is by only giving them sealed foods. it generally means they’re living on junk food for a week or so, maybe a month, but to borrow a phrase from labor and delivery nursing “FED is best” (some people will tell you breastfeeding is the only healthy option for a baby but ultimately they gotta eat, so do what you gotta do). I also try to open and pour drinks in front of them, even if it’s a container I can’t give to them like a metal can.

Misskey?

you get me

Man this takes me back to highschool

Man just shove that shit in your tweed overcoat where it belongs.

It could barely make calls. It can make calls as a party trick but you can’t really access your contacts book in an easily usable way, you can’t start new text conversations, and you can’t view your full calendar and you definitely can’t add events. I don’t need much for a watch to replace my phone but I do need it to call and text well and I need to be able to access my calendar. It’s very clear that those devices are designed and intended to add more tracking and monitoring and dopamine hooks on top of your phone, not to replace it with a less intrusive alternative. It was actually fairly frustrating.

I hope they make one I can make calls from without a phone I tried to switch to smartwatch-only late last year but even the Samsung watch couldn’t handle that.

see that doesn’t quite make sense because we do a bunch of other therapies that are similar using both larger organisms (maggots, leeches), other microorganisms (probiotics) and even microorganisms formulated from outside of the patient’s body such as fecal transplants from adult to adult in the same household but in particular from mother to baby. So it wouldn’t be the only situation in which we breed organisms from outside the patient’s body or even obtain custom microorganisms specific to the patient’s needs.
