Is anyone here in to 3D modelling? Planning to start?

What programs do you use? Are you working on animation, models to publish, or building environments to render pleasantly? If you plan to export to a game engine, check out ( >>>/games/8456 )

>by turning his own will only to primary needs
Epicurus didn’t say that we should only pursue “primary” needs (food, sleep etc). In fact, when he categorises the types of desires, he doesn’t forbid anything. He just says that chasing some sorts of desires (things like wealth, status, power) will likely result in more pain than pleasure. He’s all for enjoying “extravagant” desires - a nice meal, video games, anime - as long as they don’t lead to more pain than pleasure in the grand scheme. What one finds pleasurable or painful is completely subjective in the eyes of Epicurus, beyond the basic essentials that all of us need.

>just a method of mindbreaking yourself into enjoying a life that doesnt suit you.

That said, this is a great description of stoicism.

Let me know if you have any questions. Epicureanism has been misinterpreted (both unintentionally and intentionally) and warped by the Christians and the Stoics for centuries, so there are a lot of fundamental misunderstandings floating around.

I honestly think that the people with the most power in the world are those with an amoral philosophy.

As in, the complete rejection of ethics and morals in favor of a more authentic and useful paradigm of personal benefit.

The leaders are obviously high scoring on the dark tetrad, but with unusual traits for dark individuals, like high intelligence, strong executive functioning, and high empathy.

The purpose of life itself is the evolution of the ultimate lifeform which can acheive the greatest reproductive success for copies of genes identical to the ones they were made from within the largest amount of environments.

The purpose of any particular life Is to acheive the greatest reproductive success for copies of genes identical to the ones they were made from within the largest amount of environments.

The purpose of life is to reproduce, but it is also to assist the reproduction of those who share kinship (genetic similarity) in the hierarchy of importance with recessive phenotypes at the top priority, with dominant and unexpressed genes being least importance.

For a notable example, we like lighter and more colorful features (like those favored by the nazis - blonde hair, blue eyes, pale skin, etc.) because they are harder to inherit and even harder to express, this produces distinctiveness and that favors sexual selection, the most important kind of natural selection that exists.

Read Darwin, Dawkins, Hamilton, and Fisher.

Amorality is not a philosophy?

It absolutely is.

Protagoras: morality is a matter of personal preference

Desade: maximizing personal pleasure and minimizing personal pain is the ultimate good which all other goods are mere proxies for, it is also what shapes everything else about us, our perceptions, our fantasies, our beliefs, our values, our loyalties, etc.

Stirner: the only thing that us resl is the physical, which the ideal is the product of and subservient to, ownership is only a matter of possession, the ability to posses something and retain that possession, if I can take it from you, it is mine for as long as I can keep it.

Hobbes: civilization is the product of leaders using the threat of pain and misery via violence to enforce conformity

Neitzsche: morality is a tool of control that allows leaders to control others even when they cannot threaten them with violence

Machiavelli: people can be reliably controlled through the manipulation of pleasure and pain, joy and misery, desire and aversion, love and fear, etc.

Rand: even the most selfless possible act, such as someone giving their lives to improve the life of a stranger who would never know their sacrifice, is at its core a selfish act as it is motivated by the pleasure the one making the sacrifice experiences from helping their benefactor. These pleasurable feelings are in fact our motivation to do anything.

Philosophy is the observation and elucidation of the obvious.

A T H E I S M
and
R E A L I S M are the only things that matter. It's over.
Life is nothing but a slog, only purpose of life is to reproduce and give your kin the best conditions, whether that be by improving your country, earning money, and forging alliances when necessary but ultimately driven by what is good for the propagation of your genetics and you will to live. That' what it all is about. This is all the philosophy you need. Life is pointless if we don't account for reproduction, you just live, and hope that you have fun. And we all should as wizards have fun with our lives.

I swear there was a thread for this. Oh well. My first attempt at doing something in Godot. It's mostly code spaghettied together from tutorials and reading the engine's documentation. Let me know if you play it, and definitely let me know if you manage to beat it. The pain level is hard but doable. AD for movement and J or W for jumping, Enter for start. Gamepads also work.

Not bad.

The walk cycle was actually well done and everything mechanically works fine.
Only minor improvement I have to offer at the moment is that it would probably be a good idea to have the controls/inputs within the game.

Like, being real with you, I didn't read your full post so just figured it out using prior game knowledge and found the arrow keys worked fine.


As far as the difficulty. It was fine. It's more about exploration to find the solution then extreme precision which I appreciate personally, and the visual design language was clear enough to hint at what to do where. Like I didn't need to be told that I could wall jump. The level design hinted that I could wall jump so I tried it and it worked.

The "pain" level however is exactly the kind of thing I get bored of. It's linear and just about trial and error and extreme precision which I personally don't find fun.
Some people are into that, I am not, so once I got the gimmick I just stopped playing there.

That's 99.9999999999999999$ of all games. It's not bad for a game about jumping for eyes. Personally I'd rather jump for big princess boobs, like in Jump King.

You're right about the controls. Thanks for playing! Yup, sorry about the pain level, it was a debugging room to test the precision of the controls but since this is only a prototype and a learning experience, I decided to leave it. It's doable but ridiculously fucking hard. I only managed to beat it twice and I designed the thing. Next game will be better.

Why is so hard to make an emotional cartoon that feels real. Some of these writers think with a little ghibli tears, and some so called childhood trauma they can make characters that fell real.

Just look at this scene the last unicorn, most of us will be happy of watching an unicorn, but not molly. She knows watching an symbol of purity like an unicorn just reflects who much she is no longer pure and inocent.

Why most of the adults shows are just copies of the simpsons, rick and morty or worse, family guy, with a lol so randumb aproach of humor?

Why nobody tries to do more dark comedy whit a serious approach like moral Orel, and why every evil character has to be redeemed? Or far worse, his evil being relative. Just look at Clay, the show shows how he has a actual chilhood trauma, not something stupid like most of the modern writing, but the writers dont try to make the watcher to empathise with him, or fell pity for him. Just an evil characters who hides himself in the disguise of the mayor of a fundamentalist town

It was seen as "too dark" by the adult swim executives. With network tv there are limits and that show pushed most of those limits and was punished for it.

So, this is too realistic for the network. They have an actual evil parent to write about him in the most humanly patethic ways. In ways only know by torn souls… But no, say the network.

I really don't understand how people think 2049 is better than the original Blade Runner, it's a good film but just not as good as the original. I still think the original (No narration of course) is one of the best sci-fi/Detective movies of all time.

Watched Five Element Ninjas last night.
Very good martial arts movie. An elite martial arts school that's at the top of the martial world is being attacked by a clan of ninjas from Japan.
The action is solid, the ninjas and their tricks are very creative and varied, and the visuals are a treat, as is often the case of those 80s hong kong movies.
The pacing is very good, the movie lasts almost 2 hours but goes by in a flash.

2049 has more complex and abstract themes based on modern internet culture. The first movie has a better emotion and better spoken commentary but not as many layers. It's simpler with its obvious good guy vs bad guy character set. 2049 has better unspoken commentary. Example: There's more unspoken meaning when Deckard says "her eyes were green" to Wallace in 2049 then spoken meaning in the entire "Tears in the Rain" Roy monologue.

The only hobby I had for a long time was gaming. Recently I quit cold turkey and I need something else to fill the time. I've been reading instead and that's pretty fun but it isn't as comfy as gaming. I need to find something that makes me want to wake up in the morning but everything I try I get bored of. Sometimes it's a few months, sometimes a few years, sometimes a week, but I get bored. No hobbies really sound interesting to me, and even if they do there's always something shitty about them. Should I just go back to gaming?

I get what you mean, 11' is the most comfortable for sure, which is why I like it, to draw and play in bed it's great, but 13' feels a lot closer to drawing on a full sized piece of paper, maybe if you can find something in between, I'm not sure if you have a big preference for iOS or Android, Apple or other brands, etc. An iPad is always a good and safe bet, Apple invented tablets as we know it and they're still the best at it from both the hardware and software stand point, and I say this as a Samsung fan, the A16 iPad with an active stylus, Apple Pencil or 3rd party, will probably give you a better experience than what I have, so I'd go for it.

This one I ordered for $20 cross-ocean. The guy shipped it unprotected wrapped in an ALDI catalogue.
