And in the end it will have been a meaningless debate

Well, no. It only makes my pain simulated.

also the pain makes it real Uksio

if a bro gets cock-blocked whilst he nearly had the hottest girl in town, and we're all rooting for him

we ALL feel his pain 😉

aren't they all meaningless tho?

what do any of these debates change

pretty much nothing

we all continue thinking the same shit at the end of them

except for the lurkers

they might be like

It makes pain simulated?

If we're in a simulation, at what point would you find out?

You're willing to take the plunge, Neo?

"hmm, Dr.Wol is right, we all feel the pain of cock-blocked bros"

?

Life is devoid of meaning. There is no masterplan.
But do try to be a decent, upstanding, compassionate and empathetic human none the less.
let's maximise fun on this short ride

Honestly, whenever I watch one of those dick removal videos I cringe

wat

> Life is devoid of meaning. There is no masterplan.

Is that not a contradiction?

I legitimately feel the pain in my genitals

it's really interesting to see when people have a "connection" to one another in a way that their bodies will imitate illnesses even tho one isn't actually sick

that shit is weird

What's the point of being decent if it's all irrelevant?

he didn't say irrelevant

he said theres no plan

Either it is relevant in some context, and I think it is, or there would be no point to it.

@Undead Mockingbird It does not matter if we are in a simulation.This is our reality.

so you can MAKE a plan

@Uksio Agreed.

not having a plan does not equal "irrelevant"

Life has no meaning, but you can make your own meaning

Life had no iphone, but we made one 😉

Anyone ever experienced that?

@Undead Mockingbird There is no prescribed way, or higher purpose. But that does not mean your social contract is void though.

Life had no internet porn, but lo an behold,

we made it!!

The false feeling of cutting off your own dick?

If this is a simulation, it's our bloody simulation.

yup

make the most of it

no, but i did cringe heavily, cuz its a horrible thing to be witness to Cody

If this is a simulation, HALF of you are NPC's

and... SO ARE THE OTHER HALF!! MWAHAHAH

I had a dream once that I was shitting and my dick came out of my own ass

I watched this one where the guy was like, "I am 12 and my sister challenged me to cut it off."

wait what?!

i thought you meant circumcision, theres actually people cutting off their own dicks?

I can never forget that

😭

I make meaning for my life. I make it into a value for myself (or not).
I am the only god that will answer my prayers (albeit more highly evolved beings may exist anyway, I am just not sure they would care about us)

🇫

yeah it's extreme body modification culture @Dr.Wol

sick shit

If I am an NPC, I may be the one with a virus or a glitch then

My friends know I find it disturbing as hell and they send me the ones they find

boy are they in for a treat

when they find out that they're in the matrix, and due to the matrix making it real

when they wake up after this life, their dicks fell off 😉

As soon as I know what I am watching, I freeze

I am fine with that

I cant turn it off

don't freeze man! turn that shit off! 😄

😭

😭

Woke up in a slightly different world. But the journey continues

Isekai

But back to gene editing: If we can avoid people having to live with some of these awful diseases, I think it should give us impetus to at least very strongly consider the possibilities.

what if when we die, everything goes dark. then a bright light appears and flashing in bright red letters hangs the words "New Game"

Best isekai is probably "in another world with my smartphone"

@Undead Mockingbird Eradicating deformities and awful genetic ills would be a noble goal and perfectly ethical in my opinion.

with our luck, this simulation is an EA product, so when we die it goes dark and says "buy the DLC to respawn"

However. there is one thing that is a grey zone

Buy the dlc

😂

Should we eradicate aspergers, for example?

or "insert coin to continue"

out of lives

OOF

no Uksio, but we should eradicate people WITH aspergers 😉

😏

That would be the greatest disappointment if all that was a sim from EA

^

I'd kill myself

@EndangeredProdigy Then you should hope you at least are not running in Unity.

But you are already dead

Yes, but you're not in Unity.

You got 10 seconds to buy the dlc to continue

I used to think it was spelled Ass Burgers and thought those people just acted weird because they always had meat patties between their ass cheeks

Well, it did not cause me any feelings to not be alive

if my life was someones sim game, said player really needs a 101 guide to making your sim do stuff

😄

Not scared of that state

Southpark reference

@Dr.Wol We've been trying to get the devs to fix some of your bugs.

hmm

this explains why my foot is stuck in the wall right now

and wiggling uncontrolably

All we had for coders were laid off journalists. Sorry.

shit

There is only so much you can do with JavaScript.

they haven't learned to code yet

Learn to code

Unity is javascript compatible

NPC Dr.Wol#9845 - persistent glitch: questions its existence

so you can do plenty with JS

tahts the worst glitch?

Wait, you can use JS in Unity?

hah, i got off easy then

yes

Really?

no way

Unity has 3 codes it can work with
- C#
- Boo
- JavaScript

My java can fill up your script!

Oh, you're talking about UnityScript.

http://wiki.unity3d.com/index.php/UnityScript_versus_JavaScript

Also, they're gonna kill it.

Oh, strange.

Never seen it used in Unity.

good reason for that btw

I bet.

its cuz only gaywads that don't know how to program use Unity 😉

hence they go with C# cuz its easy

I need to "learn to code"

I know python

But that's it

😅

time to script Blender plugins then 😉

Blender is in python

I spent a month mastering python

Only to realize I was never going to use

I dont know why I spent a month on that

well yeah, people don't generally use python 😛

I meant I never will program things

Java, C#, C++, JavaScript, Html, Php

those are the general ones these days

can you imagine how fragile you would have to be to get triggered by being told to learn to code

Yeah, only a feminist like you would.

its essentailly the same as being told to suck some dick as a lesbian 😉

Its okay though, intersectionality is not all bad

its worse

You got.....?

And....?

Actually what do they got?

I am coming up blank

Ah, I just read up on it.

they got gayness i guess? 🤔

Yes, you can use JS.

<:TimThink:482277772497125378> maybe

you can use JS but gotta follow a few extra rules

its not 1:1 compatible afaik

It exposes the settings through public variables, just as in C# and then there are global classes through which you can leverage the API.

classes/objects/whatever

@Cody was this you

i guess, i don't use Unity 😄

Unreal Engine is better anyway.

I just can't afford it.

dafuq you mean afford it?!

it costs 9999999999 shekesl

Actually, that dude has nice hair

🤑

wait

unreal 4 is free?

Lies.

yes

The engine is.

huh

Not the game.

i've been using it for years

theres no game called unreal engine!

But it usually comes with simple game modes and levels.

well yeah thats what i mean

So you can "play" it.

The engine comes with a royalty clause

a frigging SWEET royalty clause 😉

but they updated it

if you sell it on their store you don't pay royalty anymore

they just take a sales cut

That's a royalty

Any fees?

<:TimThink:482277772497125378>

Apple wants $99 from me.

well, its a royalty in a sense

But they advertise it/sell it/transact


if you sell it outside their store, on another platform like Steam

you pay steams cut + that royalty

so technically its cheaper? 😛

and no fees that i know of

Wow, that's actually pretty good.

The royalty is totally bonkers

and their cut is like 12%, whereas they say Steam takes a 30% cut

Can you access gyrosensors and acellorometers in unreal engine?

Isnt it like 25%

so its 12%, vs 30% + 5%

But there is no point making any more games.

they give you access to the actual source code of the engine

so you can access anything they have

The best game has already been made.

tetris?

Depression Quest.

^

<:commie:463087263153258506>

No, that's Starvation Quest.

You are mixing up the logos.

Adventure communist is the best mobage

Tbh

aye

Communism must be a computer virus that corrupts NPCs

"Com"puter virus?

"Com"munism

Communism is real life tyrannids

<:TimThink:482277772497125378>

it eats the bio-mass

But then again, we have toxoplasmosis that corrupts mice to become suicidal

and if you don't eradicate it fully

its splinters will just regrow again

and form a new hive

My plan is: try to find a way to connect brain to computer

Launch a neural network to improve the fleshy neural network and back

With the current state of neural networks you would make just as much improvement jamming a fork into my cerebral cortex.

Harvest the chernobyl bacteria that lives off radiation, and pland that nuclear bioreactor in the body

I guess ...

Radioactive decay has enough energy to not need to eat for millenia off one small pellet

Feels just like home.

learn to co.. oh wait.. :/ https://twitter.com/BBCTech/status/1095649823846469633?s=20

lol, you can't even use that joke on them

That's one of the most roundabout ways to say "Blizzard" I have seen in a long time.

learn to journalism!

i made a thing 😛

Imagine being radiation proof and feeding off radiation

@Dr.Wol

<:commie:463087263153258506>

Did you just insult Zerg by comparing them to communists?

wat

I feel second hand insulted

thats Tyranids bruh

Zerg are a stolen concept

by thieving Blizzard

Eww 40K

incidently, Protoss are also stolen

Unphysicsly big tonk

Same issue I have with mech animu

I wrote a script that can use Minds for infinite file storage.

wow https://twitter.com/BBCTech/status/1095660292330213376?s=20

[*throws the thick book of "Material Properties" at sci-fi writers*]

hehe

My suspension of disbelief has only so much give

You can dump arbitrary files on Minds if you append it to a GIF.

Loopholes ftw

> inb4 one user takes up 80% of Minds servers with gif files

@Undead Mockingbird what is this gist?

It's an M3U playlist.

I dumped it out from bandcamp.
