Pretty sure a lot of that is privilege brah, and if its having the income or getting laid and passing on my genetics I know which of the two Im choosing. Isnt the entire point of this topic that you would choose the other if possible?

Women absolutely have the right to refuse your sperm bud. You sound reeeeaaalll entitled blaming phenotypes. Wouldnt even be posting anything in this topic but support if you didnt sound like an entitled tool. If you have all the money why are you bald anyways, thats a problem money can fix

The privilege of what? Being high IQ and acing job interviews? Tech is phenotype-neutral.

Apparently they have a STRICT minimum height requirement of 5'10 minimum. Basically I'm fucked and will never have a genetic legacy. I've failed to attract Women irl so I thought this would be one way to reproduce since I would have a popular profile given my IQ/SAT/Income (and could probably omit my Hair situation or lack thereof haha), but the whole height thing wrecks it. WHY are there such strict phenotype restrictions in basically every human endeavor except for tech? Is it really so that there would be ZERO demand for 5'9.5 sperm and that thus there would be no reason for the sperm bank to accept my sperm? Anyone here have experience with anything like this btw? Discuss.

I remember reading something like the cost of the player character model and etc for 3D games nowadays being more than the entire development cost of most NES/SNES era games, though I have no idea how to verify this

also I think your staff count on older games is a little off, it's not quite that low but it's definitely lower than nowadays. but also it's not like output scales directly with team size; a 50 person team is not 50x as productive as a 1 person team because of effort wasted in organizational overhead

sounds about right, the thing is is that its ALL WASTE imho. Theres just no payoff for all the effort when you consider the short af development times for games like, say, FF7 thru FF10 imo

I know the reasons that are typically given (omg budgets and doing graphics and stuff) but it just doesnt add up to me. Part of me thinks that its just the sheer size of game development teams, these things are functioning like large corporations where the Pareto principle applies. SNES/N64 games were just programmed by like 1-3 Nerds working around the clock but it takes a bit more than that for newer games sooooo it becomes unmanageable basically imo. This is just my opinion as an Engineer.
tl;dr there are large teams of people doing nothing because theyre hired by clueless managers and managed terribly and nobody cares.

hi tc, what did you have for breakfast today? what brings you to this board?
I like to eat breakfast alone, and almost never before noon; anybody with a terminally jangled lifestyle needs at least one psychic anchor every twenty-four hours, and mine is breakfast. ...

The food factor should always be massive: four Bloody Marys, two grapefruits, a pot of coffee, Rangoon crpes, a half-pound of either sausage, bacon, or corned-beef hash with diced chilies, a Spanish omelette or eggs Benedict, a quart of milk, a chopped lemon for random seasoning, and something like a slice of key lime pie, two margaritas and six lines of the best cocaine for dessert... Right, and there should also be two or three newspapers, all mail and messages, a telephone, a notebook for planning the next twenty-four hours, and at least one source of good music... all of which should be dealt with outside, in the warmth of a hot sun, and preferably stone naked.

It was not from smoking one time. I had been smoking consistently at that point, it was only until i started smoking on my own because i was falling into depression that i had a psychotic episode. This kind of stuff happens across all boards not just losers/scummy people go through mental health problems. A lot of folks have better support systems and can endure more and are able to make better decisions. I made some poor decisions after high school but during high school i was a stud. People literally get triggered when i show them pictures of me as a freshman in college and during other peaks ive had. They cannot understand what happened. Fucking drugs happened man, thats quite literally it. Hanging out with the wrong folks and drugs.

Thats also not a very nice thing to say about folks who suffer with mental illness. Karmas a bitch bro i would definitely rethink your whole perspective if you are going to negatively label people who fall into deep depressions or whose brain zonks out due to terrible life circumstances. Pretty shitty to just lump people who end up on ssdi because their parents die or some other tragic event happens in their life with like gangbangers and criminals. I also had something in my early childhood happen that contributed to my psychosis but yeah i guess i am a loser/scumbag to you. You are entitled to think what you want.
I wasnt trying to be a dick, Scumbag and Loser are officially recognized Cliques. They arent insults. As for my karma, what more could befall me? I am already Bald and 59.5, and life is meaningless anyway.

Its complicated. The whole thing started when i got diagnosed with a chemical imbalance from a psychotic episode i experienced after smoking some weed at like 19 years old. I would get better after i quit the weed but because i hung out with shady people every 2 years or so i would relapse and smoke weed again which created a vicious cycle of hospitalizations. I was also abusing alcohol as well during this. It is honestly a miracle i am alive. For the last 4 years i have just been trying to be healthy, i have been the longest away from weed since i was 16 and i am doing better overall so i am hoping maybe by next year i can start weaning off these meds and reintegrate back into society. I have been doing everything right for the most part.

Been a NEET for the last 4 years. Been disabled for around 8 years. This lifestyle sucks. You are not given enough money to realistically survive on your own on disability. For me its the medical benefits that keep me on this, most jobs have bullshit probationary periods where they offer no benefits so in a way i am trapped. The best thing i can do is find some side hustle for cash but i risk losing everything if the income is significant.

While it is nice to sleep in, the medications i am on make everything more difficult for me to do. You would think with all the time on my hands i could educate myself but when your disability is a mental one you cannot focus on things for a very long time without wanting to kill yourself. A lot of folks experienced the NEET life during the covid lockdowns, being a NEET is kinda like those lockdowns except you do not have to get up for work...it sounds better than it actually is. After like 1 year of this you want stuff to do but at that point your physical and mental fitness have deteriorated to the point that you would not even make a good janitor.

I hope this helps shed a bit of light. The question of legitimacy had been mentioned, i dunno if my diagnosis is correct but i have been hospitalized like 10 times in the last 10 years for mental health related issues. I think i am close to making a full or at least partial rehabilitation. My problem is that supposedly i drank and smoked so much weed i permanently messed up the neurotransmitters in my brain.

Because republicans have been brainwashed to attack any and all "welfare" expenditures and are trained to act jaded af about the whole affair. "Oh SURE, expanded unemployment benefits, fuckin' paying [facial epithet] not to work, smh," is the party line. Bigotry is how they achieve solidarity afaik.
