“Shut up. The cycle of nature and your stupid plan don’t mean a thing. ##### is gone. ##### will no longer talk, no longer laugh, cry… or get angry… What about us…what are WE supposed to do? What is this pain? My fingers are tingling. My mouth is dry. My eyes are burning!”

I tried with GPT 3.5 to make a site with gamification currency and a job board users could apply to or post tasks.

It introduced me to the world of Wordpress (and helped me figure out some free hosting options). Unfortunately the plug-ins it told me to use conflicted with each other and somehow bricked everything to the point where I couldn’t figure out a way to troubleshoot. I gave up on the experiment.

If I try again, I’ll use 4.0 and have it code the site from scratch (JavaScript & HTML5) without using so much middleware.

Search YouTube for Justin Sung and watch a bunch of his videos.

If you made it through HS by paying attention in class, turns out you were doing that part right. Rapidly switching from watching a lecturer to trying to write everything down in shorthand is not necessarily better than just focusing on the lecture in the moment and processing some form of notes afterwards.

Many university classes provide lecture notes / digital versions of the slides and/or allow you to record audio during lectures. Pay attention in the class, then later that same day go over the slides again with some sort of system that works for you (sketch notes are good due to double encoding).

The biggest mistake many students make is assuming that rereading the textbook the day before the test is a good way to study. It’s one of the worst. Good reviews involve application/ creation. Try writing and answering what you think the test might ask.

TLDR: Watch Justin Sung’s channel.

I’m with you. 95% of my enjoyment came from playing co-op with my childhood best friend (using discord for voice chat) who I had fallen out of contact with. When we encountered the (many) bugs, we had a good laugh and kept on going.

The 5% that actually came from gameplay? Hmm… Faschnacht was always a hoot. Creative camp builds was also a highlight (basically fallout 4 base building, but other humans actually get to appreciate your creation).

I tried picking up the game on PS5 recently and without the social piece it just seemed like an insurmountable grind (ex. how do I get the mutations I want for a fresh account? How long will it take to unlock backpack space again?)

Still, due to circumstances, co-op FO76 ended up being one of my top 5 gaming experiences in my last 40 years of video games.
