Doomer thread, don't keep reading if you're not in the mood. Before someone asks, yes I'm ok, I don't think about this all the time.

I wonder if some parts of the world will be affected by global warming to the point that unpredictable catastrophes completely destroys the bound of society and forces people to live in a Mad Max scenario without the cool factor. This already has happened to some degree, but I wonder if it will become the norm in the future.

Can you imagine, living enough to have to let go of all your comfort, and having to be ready to kill people you don't even know without a second thought?

Or what if the outcome is a more subtle misery, where there is a society but you depend on air conditioners to live?

A lot of places already depend on air conditioners to live, and they seem to be doing fine.

I assume if that situation happened people would move away from said place. Not like there isn't plenty of unused space on the planet.

Certain countries have collapsed to some extent. We call them failed states. I doubt we'll ever see a day where the whole world becomes like the western Roman Empire did in the 400s.

Being a veteran, Been there, done that. :mellow::(:sad:

Throwing it OUT of your mind is a MUST.

    I still don't get what the deal with Bluesky is, I heard it was supposed to be federated and possible to self-host like Mastodon as well, but somehow I haven't seen or heard anyone doing that. Yet people complain about community and moderation issues on the official Bluesky instance. I really don't get what's going on and how it's supposed to work.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @IC_, Yeah most of the posts I get are either about polítics or selfies and all that

  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @IC_, although I just asked on the official subreddit if there is any feed(s) with the content I like
  • IC_ @ IC_:
    Myself, I have no interest in using (having an account on) such a social media website. People are often surprised that I don't have any social media and none of the most popular IM services, especially in real life. But I continue to stand against it, even when so many people have complained about it. Even if it makes my life a bit harder.

    I don't bother with social media.

    @anotherthing, being online is one of my few ways of entertainment since I will be murdered/kidnapped if I go outside while alone

  • IC_ @ IC_:
    At some point I should probably create my own blog website, so my blogs can reach more people outside of GBAtemp. Long-form blogs are much nicer in my opinion compared to this modern "microblogging".
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @IC_, I ran out of ideas for blog entries and thus I just make profile posts
  • IC_ @ IC_:
    I still have lots of ideas, but it unfortunately does take a lot more effort to write a good blog entry with photos than to write a simple post.
  • IC_ @ IC_:
    Once I finish this project I've been working on for months, I'll hopefully do a blog entry about it.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @IC_, I have been starting making a game, I will record a gameplay of the battle system once it's relatively done

  • IC_ @ IC_:
    Haven't ever heard of it, but it could be interesting. Are you using RPGmaker for it, or something else?
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @IC_, gdevelop
  • IC_ @ IC_:
    Nice, it's open-source.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @IC_, I only use "vanilla" gdevelop since I always forget how to code
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    Also lemme show you a picture of how events work in it
  • IC_ @ IC_:
    I think free and open-source software is a very important benefit to everyone, even if you're not going to study or modify the code.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @IC_, or well here is just the event tutorial itself https://wiki.gdevelop.io/gdevelop5/events/#timedelta
  • IC_ @ IC_:
    Yeah, I guess it's kind of like Scratch, a friendly programming interface. I think there was a specific term for this kind of thing, but I can't remember it.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @IC_, also I already made a short game in it, wanna see it?
  • IC_ @ IC_:
    Sure, if you have some pictures or video.
  • Xdqwerty @ Xdqwerty:
    @IC_, here is a video if you can't play it https://gbatemp.net/profile-posts/166302/
