Honestly, this could be referring to most open-source projects. I’d imagine many of the popular ones were originally made to solve a problem for themselves and then everyone jumps onboard with that solution.

Linux itself also kinda fits here considering it was meant to just sort of be a small project in the beginning and I doubt Linus ever could have predicted what it became.

What’s worked for me is taking things I enjoy as a consumer (computers, music, movies, etc) and trying to learn how to make those things for myself or at least learn more about how they’re made. It gives you amazing amounts of insight into what it takes to get those results and why you might specifically like them.

For computers, learning programming at the low level like a Commodore 64 or similar will help wrap your mind around how modern computers do things.

For music, learning even the basics of making your own will help you pick up on things in your favorite songs that you never noticed before.

For movies, diving into behind-the-scenes material and watching some plot theory channels like Every Frame A Painting or Lessons from the Screenplay will help you catch more intricate and subtle plot elements like foreshadowing that you might not have caught onto.

Taste the meat, not the heat!

I’ve watched Casablanca so that was sort of a given going into it.

This is just execs not understanding game engines again. This was supposed to be the original concept for NFTs and it’s still a bad idea for any game with artistic merit.

Even if you get past the technical reasons of why this won’t work well, artistically, your avatar will clash with any game that’s not targeting these avatars. And I bet that any game that does target itself to look good with these avatars will look worse for it.

You can’t just take a 3d model and slap it into a game world and expect it to look good everywhere because it looked good in one environment.

Now I don’t know if I had already seen this and my subconscious is just remembering it. Praise be. We’re truly live in future times.

Hey wait a minute… I’ve seen this meme somewhere before.

I’m just sad we didn’t get NFT vending machines. Technology entirely skipped a beat there. I could have been spending my money on JPGs at the airport!

This feels like something straight out of Sorry to Bother You

Reminds me of the Light L16. It was a terrible camera that barely worked.

I’m wearing out this emoji

TGFM - Thank God for Markdown

Seriously, though. 9 times out of 10, markdown has all the formatting I need for the task at hand. On the rare occasion I need something more, I’m glad I have access to Apple Pages, but it comes with its own set of unique challenges.

I have 2 big jug hot cheese. What do?

Very accurate. Currently still on my first character of around a 3-year campaign. I’m the only original surviving party member from the start. I’m just a Tabaxi Monk who wants to restore the crown. No ulterior motives. Just focused on the main campaign goal. My main powers are running real fast and attacking a lot.

Careful! They’ll find out if you keep letting them know on the internet!

Probably the Hello World I wrote for the Pocket Sprite along with the programming tutorial for it. To my awareness, I was the only person who made a tutorial for it and it got decent amounts of use on the Discord. It’s too bad you can’t get them anymore.
