I think possibly people forget this forum is for those interested in making 2D/3D virtual worlds (and websites or other indie projects by proxy) :omg:k:
2022 is the best year in history for someone interested in making 3d worlds, and 2023 will be even better, the technology we have to work with now is AMAZING compared to what existed in the past. HOWEVER, many people in this community do see the issues you point out in the modern web and like to study and think about the past as a way of figuring out how to make a better future (or just because its fun).
As for feeling out of place; you are welcome as you are, you don't have to fit in to belong here (Most people don't fit in anywhere), you bring yourself and what you're into and that's enough and that's all anyone can ask Although on the point of mixtapes; a youtube video with a selection of songs is a mixtape, so chances are you have used one of those
Possibly just neocities being neocities. The majority of the people in here are from neocities and because they are quite into old tech, the forum's main topic shifted. This reply was quite well said and done, kinda sucks that we don't talk about 3D much. There are plenty of animations I have done in Roblox studio (Yes, I used a game engine to animate.) As well for fitting in, I think I was being a little too worried when all I needed to do was get along.
From my prospective, this forum feels like a group of people that feel down by the modern world and would puffer using old technology over a new product. This makes me think about what stuff I have missed before I was even born, and a chunk of the stuff I see here are things I don't even understand! Am I not supposed to be here? Will I be made fun of for using this site? Don't get me wrong, I do agree with a lot of the points in many of the topics, like the Social media is dangerous topic, or the replies on my Cloud Gaming topic. But even with that I still feel a little out of place at times. I never used mix tapes, I never really watched anything on VHS, and what is a IRC? So much stuff that I don't have answers to.
Next is the modern internet. there is cancel culture, or what about how YouTube, twitter, and anything you can talk about your opinions warped the public perception on pretty much everything, and the negative health effects on the addictive nature of social media. All terrible, But yet again, we are thinking negative about this because man kind is programmed to look at negative stuff more quickly. This makes the modern world seem worse off than before, because so much stuff is thrown at your face so quickly you would already notice how much bad there is. Think about it! If there is more bad things we see than good, our limit on how much negative information we can handle can get there really quickly! This leads to a lot of really nasty side effects which I don't wanna talk about.
For the old stuff I just can't wrap my brain around, It's just out of my reach to understand because I don't use them. But my best guess is that we view them as good because the internet wasn't as big as it is now, we had to get our info from what we had. The internet today is still a great tool but it just got out of control once we started to replace our stuff with it from my understanding.
OK! Maybe I may have gone a bit off topic when I started talking about the internet, But that's because most of the stuff that happens in this world is on the net, However, I would like to just allow the replies to conclude this mess of a topic I created.
A reply chain is a bunch of replies saying the same thing over and over to form a long chain of repeating words. Under this topic you may see a reply chain or maybe someone talking about the topic instead of following along. For this topic I challenge you guys to form a chain of saying the same thing, choose anything you want.
this is how you write it in the esolang malbolge, named after the eighth circle of hell in dante's inferno in fact, the first program in this language wasn't even written by a human but rather found through a beam search
Someone managed to actually make a messy script with just one line of code, now Imagine all the work required to figure out how to make the script in the first place.
This is actually quite interesting to see this, a nice challenge for the programmer to try and figure out, kinda like a puzzle but with code (although code is kinda already a puzzle).
Sandbox games are my bread and butter, they are very addictive and playtime is pretty much infinite. About 2 or 3 months ago I got a game called "BeamNG.drive." BeamNG.drive is a driving sandbox simulator that is all about softbody physics. It's really fun to use the car collection and mess around. I would recommend having it a try if you haven't already.
I think one feature that would be helpful is the ability to make custom colors on the default text color option. (This might be a feature already but I don't know.)
Hmm... This reminds me of that one time when I tried out VidIQ (Don't ask why) and at the first day of using it, I realized that this plugin wasn't made for creative works, mostly for trendy YouTubers. I ended up uninstalling the plugin.
Engagement is something creators care about, and in the current age people would say the same thing, "WAnnaA GeTt A FaNNSSssSs!!?!?!? MMakE A TwitR!!!! FRrEO AdvERtiEING!!! PoesT DaiolY!!!" But from my experience, Social media users don't revolve around or care about you, no matter how successful you or someone else is (At least for the most part). Popularity is an illusion, and stopping because of a number is stupid. If you want to enjoy life as an indie creator, don't get upset when your work doesn't get the attention you expected. Continue creating and take breaks when you need to. As for Businesses. Who cares! They only care about the money, so, why should I care?
(I actually still struggled to read your post, I might have gotten it wrong.)
when our modern animals go extinct and all of our records on researching these animals gets deleted how will the future generations imagine them based on the fossils that where left behind which can look extremely different from the present understanding that the future forgot about. From my understanding on our attempts at imagining Dinosaurs, it can get very inaccurate.
Such an interesting thought! It reminds me of medieval drawings of elephants or lions. Some of them can look quite strange, but I imagine it would be very difficult to find a reference for such exotic animals.. (But realism is overrated anyway, right?)
I think I'm going to be wondering about this question too, now
Like... Have you seen the skeleton of a cat? That's gonna be very hard to imagine with the additional challenge of some bones missing! Realism isn't just overrated, it's painful.
When modern animals finally go extincted what will they look like to future generations?
I think we will see more intelligent scavenger animals, like crows and foxes, there may even be species diverse sentience in the future.
I think I may have said this question wrong, what I actually meant was that when our modern animals go extinct and all of our records on researching these animals gets deleted how will the future generations imagine them based on the fossils that where left behind which can look extremely different from the present understanding that the future forgot about. From my understanding on our attempts at imagining Dinosaurs, it can get very inaccurate.
