Are you doing anything interesting this summer? Any fun plans or general ideas of what you want to do? It's ok if you still have to do the same old same old during the summer, I hope you can fit in some interesting stuff in between though :)

I'm probably just going to catch up on my backlog of gamecube and ds/3ds games, I also really want to go swimming once it gets hot over here again too. I also got a summer job so that'll take up a good chunk of time >.>

So yeah what are you doing this summer? B-)

Well, for the first few weeks my mom was thinking about taking my family to Dallas for a bit. I've always wanted to get out of Shreveport for a while and explore a big city, perhaps this will be my chance to do so.

I will be hitting the books as much as I can as I have to earn another cert by fall for a promotion at my job. Beyond that I will be hitting the gym as much as I yes *gaps* I will even try to be social.

Probably hanging out with friends, mostly. I'm thinking about maybe doing some reviews on YouTube for fun. I'm probably also going to catch up on anime, since I have a lot of stuff I've missed. I don't have much time to watch anime with school going on, an even when I do, I'm too tired or just not in the mood.
Hopefully I'll go outside a bit more. I would love to go for a bike ride right now, but my back tyre has a hole, so I have to fix that first.

I have a nerf gun that I'm overhauling... expanded plunger, sealed breech, other stuff...

I also have a lot of sleeping to catch up on

I can't believe nobody's mentioned hacking their switches

I forgot about it o.o, that's gonna be one of the first things I do.

Currently my plans include:
- Make a big video game and sell it to have it easy for ~5 years without needing to worry about a job or if it goes really well get my own house (trying to gather a team for it for now)
- Relearn Japanese (because I've forgotten most stuff and it's about damn time I did)
- Study LOTS by basically cramming all my years of Uni in the holiday months to make it easier to just finish up and get my degree already
Don't know how much or how many of these I'll be able to do in the end as my motivation has completely vanished from my life since a year ago... And here's one thing I'd love to do but won't happen:
- Sleep all day long for hours on end (too bad no time for it...)

First month of summer will likely just be taking things easy, as I'll be graduated from high school and have a temporary respite. Gonna try and do things with my friends while I can, since we're all going our separate ways by August. Part of the summer will be preparing to move and setting things in order here.

With some of the extra time, I'll get to work on a story or a few videos, maybe some storyboards or drawings, or mock-ups of games and various other prototypes. I'd also maybe continue learning Japanese, and maybe watch some more Hollywood films, which I've neglected for ages. I dunno, no concrete summer plans yet, really.

I will be taking two weeks off from work during August, other than that I will be working.
I am hoping during those two weeks that I can visit my family, but a lot of factors need to fall into my favor for that to happen.

  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Tandem even
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i think i heard of that, it's a good idea, shouldn't need a dedicated GPU just to run a LLM or video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    even the nvidia shield tv has AI video upscaling
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    LLMs can be run on cpu anyway but it's quite slow
  • BakerMan @ BakerMan:
    Have you ever been beaten by a wet spaghetti noodle by your girlfriend because she has a twin sister, and you got confused and fucked her dad?
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    I had a girlfriend who had a twin sister and they would mess with me constantly.... Until one chipped a tooth then finally I could tell them apart.... Lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    They would have the same hair style the same clothes everything... Really messed with my head lol
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    @The Real Jdbye, I could see AMD trying to pull off the CPU GPU tandem thing, would be a way to maybe close the gap a bit with Nvidia. Plus it would kinda put Nvidia at a future disadvantage since Nvidia can't make X86/64 CPUs? Intel and AMD licensing issues... I wonder how much that has held back innovation.
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't think nvidia wants to get in the x64 cpu market anyways
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    you've seen how much intel is struggling getting into the gpu market
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and nvidia is already doing ARM
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    i don't think they want to take more focus away from their gpus
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Yeah I think Nvidia s future lays in AI GPU acceleration stuff if they can get that going it's going to be super interesting in the long term
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    AI assisted game creation might become a thing
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    At least that's something I think would be pretty cool.
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Don some VR glasses and gloves and talk to the computer and paint entire worlds
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    "OK Cortana I want that mountain a little taller and more snow on top, and I would like some random ancient pine forest around the bottom"
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    "Now we need a spring fed river flowing down the north side and add some wild life appropriate for the biome"
  • Psionic Roshambo @ Psionic Roshambo:
    Many TBs of assets and the programming of something like that is going to be tough but I think it's something we might see in 20 years maybe sooner
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    @Psionic Roshambo AI assisted game creation is kinda already here, there was recently that AI that can turn any 2D image into a fully modeled 3D object, it's not perfect, but it's a starting point, beats starting from zero
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    before that there was one to generate a fully modeled scene from a 2D image
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    but most recently, there was one that actually generates a working unity scene with terrain and textures already set up that you can import right into unity, that's a huge time saver right there
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    and using LLMs to generate NPC dialogue and even dynamically generated quests is something i'm sure is already happening
  • The Real Jdbye @ The Real Jdbye:
    will just take some time for games made using those things to be completed and released
