I like it. It’s sort of a follow up to Rollercoaster tycoon 1 and 2. Same kinda play style, but then in a modern game. I had some good fun with it. Personally I like it more than Planet Coaster, where I found the customization too overwhelming.

Block out the heat and sun during the day. Have everything open during the night, with a tactical fan placed wherever it helps the most.

But this only really helps the first few days. After that it’s down to accepting the situation and being so tired that you fall asleep anyway.

Maybe it’s the same thing I recently had. After running a half marathon in April this year and cycling another 20km from and to the course, I also had some weird muscle cramps when finally taking a rest. It was almost like something was crawling under my skin. My muscles felt like they were cramping together and releasing very quickly and very locally in tiny spots all over my calves. It was such a surreal feeling. Kinda creepy and weird, but at the same time also kinda nice and satisfying.

Yeah the bots were fine. I definitely liked splitgate more than the new tribes though. Even against humans I felt like I had way more chance to get some kills and overall the game felt more polished.

I was interested in the game, but for me the problem really was the skill level of the player base. Getting killed 20 times before getting a kill is no fun at all. I played during the test period, and I think it definitely would be fun with other noobs, but every game just has people in it who are miles above the rest.

I wish it were more acceptable, but personally I’d just rather not be touched by anyone.

I’m perfectly content with my current average life. Fame would only bring more worries and stress, even if it’d also bring more luxury

I have a license, but never use it. I’m Dutch. My work and the train station are less than 10 min by bike, the supermarket is a 5 min walk. I can do almost anything by bike and sometimes public transport and it saves me hundreds of euro’s a month.

Not American, but I think most other people will be in their database as well. Honestly, it frustrated me greatly, but ultimately I try not to worry too much about it since I can’t control it. Privacy is one of my main “pillars” when voting (here in the Netherlands we have way more than 2 choices). A party’s stance on privacy and encryption is a requirement for gaining my vote, and it’s lead me to not vote for someone in multiple occasions. It’s the most influence I can have.

Hopefully, most of the time. I feel like I’m generally friendly and helpful, and compared to many people around me I feel like I don’t let myself get to carried away with anger or frustration. I’m not too good at showing it though. Due to autism I feel like there’s a bit of a difference between how society expects people to show friendliness and how I do it. I’m quite reserved and I usually don’t randomly show up or give gifts or something. I generally don’t care about my own birthday and such, and therefore I’ll also not think about those things for others. I try to detect when it does matter to people, and think of something to do or give, but honestly these expectations really stress me out.

I can definitely be a bit of an asshole sometimes though. I don’t like people talking nonsense. In places where it matters, like work, want direct communication, with as little weaseling around as possible. No big words, no politics. So I will be that person that asks the “rude” and difficult question if it’s necessary. I’m also quite stubborn, and require strong argumentation to actually be convinced of something. I’ve become more aware of this, so I tend to think twice nowadays to ensure that I’m really fighting a fight worth fighting and don’t let myself get carried away too much with debating minor things.

Honestly, how it’s been so far here this year, it’s pretty much the perfect season. Temperature during the day between 18C and 25C. Warm in the sun, but with a cold wind. Cooler in the night, so I can sleep decently. And nice and sunny, with very long daylight. I always notice that I’m a lot happier when it’s light outside, so I’m feeling a lot better in this weather. I do agree that the 30+ C days and 20+ C nights are hell, mostly because airco’s aren’t that common here

Exactly. I think it’s easy for autistic people like me to fall into this mindset. When I was younger I was quite disillusioned with the world, mostly because I didn’t fully fit in. Feeling like I was in some way better, because I was driven by logic instead of emotion, was probably a defense mechanism or something. In truth it was not that I didn’t have emotions, I just wasn’t able to listen to them. Luckily I never really got into the far right “facts don’t care about your feelings” bullshit.

You can’t just pretend that you’re “driven by logic” and ignore your “weak” emotions forever. If the foundations upon which you build your personality are rotten, there will be point where it all comes crashing down. Until that moment you just waste time pretending to be someone you aren’t.

20-23C, partially cloudy, cold-ish wind but quite hot in the sun. At night is should cool down to like 10-14C. Preferably with summer-like day length, I don’t really like the dark. But I don’t mind the variation, and I can also really enjoy a sunny -10C winter day or a stormy 5C autumn day.

Kinda random tbh. I used to use “gerry” but that name was quite often used because it’s a Dutch name. So I needed something extra. In a bit of a goofy mood I came across some appelflappen, Dutch food comprised of apple sort of wrapped by pastry. And, uh, my brain did brain stuff.

I’m not a hundred percent sure, but afaik it has to do with how random the output of the GPT model will be. At 0 it will always pick the most probable next continuation of a piece of text according to its own prediction. The higher the temperature, the more chance there is for less probable outputs to get picked. So it’s most likely to pick 42, but as the temperature increases you see the chance of (according to the model) less likely numbers increase.

This is how temperature works in the softmax function, which is often used in deep learning.

How is Spotify a scam? I can probably at most buy one CD per month for the same price as Spotify. Yet Spotify gives unlimited access to good quality versions of almost every song out there. Even with raised prices it’s still a way better deal for most consumers than buying music directly.

Personally I tend to also buy a few albums a year, because I like owning them and I like supporting the artists. But the convenience of having every track at your fingertips is hard to beat

Honestly it doesn’t really matter to me. Depending on whether it’s on the top or bottom I’ll just put my phone in my pocket to make it point upward when I use it. I tend to use Bluetooth anyway most of the time, so the headphone jack is mostly there as backup and for connecting other audio devices at parties etc.

I have nothing else to do, no external worries, and I feel motivated to work on my hobbies (programming, music production). Then I’ll spend most of the day working on said hobbies, learning some new things and creating/adding something cool. Then in the evening I’ll do something fun with friends. Maybe at some point I’ll go for a walk or run.

Yep. I’ll be dead anyway, so I have no use for them anymore. If it can save someone’s life then imo it’d be a bit selfish not to. I was already registered when it was still opt-in, but now it’s become opt-out here in the Netherlands so even better. It’ll make sure that a lot of people who don’t care either way will now save life’s that we otherwise wouldn’t.
