Last Notes npub1z2qwtf688mhculjvrlmrreq2mafpwxdkx9xhmegraqnvxzv4wk0sqc3y8p LeonianUniverseš @nprofileā¦kse9 Lol! I would, but I'm not married to her just yet. I wonder if they sell fake ones or something. npub1z2qwtf688mhculjvrlmrreq2mafpwxdkx9xhmegraqnvxzv4wk0sqc3y8p LeonianUniverseš I don't know why, but whenever I go to the bar, I find I attract like women in there like 50's or something to me and I have to make it clear to them that I'm already taken. I don't want to insult these people, but you see, I go to the bar for the live music and the drinks, as I'm already loyal to my girl, so I end up having to politely tell them that I'm taken as it were. I don't know what about me screams "wow, I'm in my 50's, look at that young man over there, lets talk to him." Anyone have any advice on this? Just want to drink my rum in peace, some have even tried to hug and touch me, and it makes me feel very uncomfortable, but I do my very best to be as polite as possible while making it clear I'm in a relationship, part of the reason too I haven't gone to the bar in a while, because I don't want to be faced with that situation anymore. npub1z2qwtf688mhculjvrlmrreq2mafpwxdkx9xhmegraqnvxzv4wk0sqc3y8p LeonianUniverseš You know, here's the thing, just because people don't like hearing the truth, doesn't make it any less true. #AI is here to stay, you can't close pandora's box once its open, and booing people who simply tell the truth in a commencement speech doesn't make it any less true. AI has and will change our lives in ways for decades to come, its just the way it is, unpopular on #Mastodon as it is, people are just gonna have to except that fact and move on with their lives. Its certainly not anyone's business to keep bashing people who use AI to do things whether that be creation, productivity, anything else that makes life easier, because its not going away soon, and harassing people, bashing them, calling people who use AI variations on slop this and slop that doesn't change the truth. Get a life and stop bashing people who use AI. npub1z2qwtf688mhculjvrlmrreq2mafpwxdkx9xhmegraqnvxzv4wk0sqc3y8p LeonianUniverseš @nprofileā¦r0j8 Sad that some men feel the need to say that shit in your mentions. If you do those things, you don't need to brag about it, you just do it because its the right thing to do. Great guy though, I don't know him, but I hope he's doing alright in this world, we need more men like him. npub1z2qwtf688mhculjvrlmrreq2mafpwxdkx9xhmegraqnvxzv4wk0sqc3y8p LeonianUniverseš @nprofileā¦65zm Lol, I ended up falling asleep. npub1z2qwtf688mhculjvrlmrreq2mafpwxdkx9xhmegraqnvxzv4wk0sqc3y8p LeonianUniverseš Wow, I just learned about music packs for #Rimworld, and I am super excited to play using the new music I have for the game now. npub1z2qwtf688mhculjvrlmrreq2mafpwxdkx9xhmegraqnvxzv4wk0sqc3y8p LeonianUniverseš @nprofileā¦6ea2 Oh thank God, will definitely use that feature for being transparent about AI usage in the future. I basically just put it in the artists edit boxes that I was using Suno for the actual sounds and stuff like that, but now that Distro Kid is making it easy for us, that is definitely gonna help, is that feature already out? npub1z2qwtf688mhculjvrlmrreq2mafpwxdkx9xhmegraqnvxzv4wk0sqc3y8p LeonianUniverseš Good morning everyone, I had a bit of a rebellion or something today, I joined the darkside for today, and had... coffee! I know, incredibly criminal, I'm sure the #Tea police are ready to arrest me, but yeah, now I know how to use a coffee maker, and my headache which I woke up with is gone. Coffee seems to be a good substitute for Adderall when my meds are still getting approved by insurance. npub1z2qwtf688mhculjvrlmrreq2mafpwxdkx9xhmegraqnvxzv4wk0sqc3y8p LeonianUniverseš @nprofileā¦56kd Great air fryer, although my mom hates it because you can talk to it, and she'd much rather use a screen, but she's sighted so it makes sense, but we finally have an appliance which favors us blind people rather than her, and I'm happy for it. npub1z2qwtf688mhculjvrlmrreq2mafpwxdkx9xhmegraqnvxzv4wk0sqc3y8p LeonianUniverseš @nprofileā¦xt9m Oh yeah, I've almost completely changed my life entirely to using the celcius system, itās better and easier to use, and I really enjoy it. Yes, I've been converted. Only reason I say almost is because I can only get my kettle to heat up in degrees F, so that sucks, but yeah, I use celcius by default now. npub1z2qwtf688mhculjvrlmrreq2mafpwxdkx9xhmegraqnvxzv4wk0sqc3y8p LeonianUniverseš @nprofileā¦xt9m Itās 28 degrees right now, which is better than it was a couple days ago in the afternoon, so I'll take it. npub1z2qwtf688mhculjvrlmrreq2mafpwxdkx9xhmegraqnvxzv4wk0sqc3y8p LeonianUniverseš @nprofileā¦c37t @nprofileā¦t7jd There is a whole community of tea enthusiasts? I had absolutely no idea til today. Wow! npub1z2qwtf688mhculjvrlmrreq2mafpwxdkx9xhmegraqnvxzv4wk0sqc3y8p LeonianUniverseš @nprofileā¦xt9m Yeah it is, itās terrible right now, but that's how Virginia is in the Spring, it only gets worse in the summer, so definitely prepare for that. npub1z2qwtf688mhculjvrlmrreq2mafpwxdkx9xhmegraqnvxzv4wk0sqc3y8p LeonianUniverseš @nprofileā¦xt9m Makes sense if youāre making a lot of tea at once and using a lot of water as a result. I might do that if I ever make ice-tea, but don't have a pitcher for that. npub1z2qwtf688mhculjvrlmrreq2mafpwxdkx9xhmegraqnvxzv4wk0sqc3y8p LeonianUniverseš So I've been drinking #Tea for quite a while now, but one of the things that was always off to me was that while I got a hint of flavor from the tea I was drinking, the actual flavor and scent weren't permiating the water, and as a result the tea that I was making was too weak a lot of times. Turns out 2 teaspoons worth of tea isn't enough, so I started using 3 or 4 teaspoons, and its significantly increased the flavor in the way I was looking for. I didn't just want a hint of flavor, I wanted that full-body, rich, flavorful experience, and that's what I'm getting now. Any #TeaDrinkers out there, how do you like your tea and am I commiting some kind of tea tabboo? I'm using lose-leaf tea with filters, not sachet's of tea. npub1z2qwtf688mhculjvrlmrreq2mafpwxdkx9xhmegraqnvxzv4wk0sqc3y8p LeonianUniverseš Hmm, I might go make some #tea, its been a while and I feel like it. I don't know which one I want to make, I have probably too many options, lol! npub1z2qwtf688mhculjvrlmrreq2mafpwxdkx9xhmegraqnvxzv4wk0sqc3y8p LeonianUniverseš And another workday, but I think its gonna be a great day for sure. Hope everyone is doing well today. npub1z2qwtf688mhculjvrlmrreq2mafpwxdkx9xhmegraqnvxzv4wk0sqc3y8p LeonianUniverseš @nprofileā¦wqvl @nprofileā¦unhy Oh God I can only imagine, sounds rough for sure. npub1z2qwtf688mhculjvrlmrreq2mafpwxdkx9xhmegraqnvxzv4wk0sqc3y8p LeonianUniverseš @nprofileā¦wqvl @nprofileā¦unhy You figure sponge-baths could be done... somehow right? Imagine all astronaughts being stinky as such because they can't shower while on the ISS? My god. npub1z2qwtf688mhculjvrlmrreq2mafpwxdkx9xhmegraqnvxzv4wk0sqc3y8p LeonianUniverseš @nprofileā¦wqvl @nprofileā¦unhy You mean to tell me they don't have showers in space? Man I'd feel so bad for her. Can only imagine what a shower felt like after 320 days in space. npub1z2qwtf688mhculjvrlmrreq2mafpwxdkx9xhmegraqnvxzv4wk0sqc3y8p LeonianUniverseš Well, trying something out, was working on possibly modding #Sonic1 so it can be accessible to us. Actually made it pretty far actually. added in some things for a prox indecator for obstacles, spikes, walking sounds for Sonic when your not holding the down arrow to roll in to a ball and pick up speed, really interesting for sure. I actually made it pretty far in the game thus far, made it to act 3 of Green Hill zone with what I've got now. Its definitely a work in progress and I have to work within the limitations of the Genesus hardware since that's what the emulator is emulating, and there will be probably a lot of level memorization required just because of the way things have to work given the limitations of the sounds that can be played all at once, but hey, it works though and that's a start. yes, I did use #Claud to #VibeCcode this, and I'm super far from even attempting to let people try it, heck, I have no idea right now what will happen when I do get past act 3 in to the boss level, let alone any of the other levels in the game, so its gonna have to be probably months before I do anything with it release-wise, but I'm definitely working on it though. I want to work on all 3 of the original Sonic games. Also, as a #blind person, I learned a whole lot about how #Sonic moves. I had no idea for example that Sonic does walk when you move to the right, but if you hold down, he rolls in to a ball and rolls across the map to pick up speed, or just how important momentum is in this game, because without it, you will get stuck in the level, so much to learn, but I do think its worth the attempt. Plus, I made it to 1/3 which is more than I've ever made it in a Sonic game before. Any #Modders out there who mod Sonic, if you want to work with me on this, I'm more than happy to do that with you. I also probably will need sighted people to watch me play Sonic so they can understand better than I can where I'm going wrong as I also try to memorize the levels while I play test each build of the modded Rom. Its really fun though and I am a huge Sonic fan, so the fact I can already make it to Act 3 of Green Hill zone is super awesome to me for sure. npub1z2qwtf688mhculjvrlmrreq2mafpwxdkx9xhmegraqnvxzv4wk0sqc3y8p LeonianUniverseš @nprofileā¦l7tr Definitely gonna try this out in ranked for sure, super awesome. I hope this brings more people in to Sparking 0 and in to dragonball who maybe would not have played before. Also, definitely buying the dlc. Lol! npub1z2qwtf688mhculjvrlmrreq2mafpwxdkx9xhmegraqnvxzv4wk0sqc3y8p LeonianUniverseš @nprofileā¦2tje @nprofileā¦nk6v No, it wouldn't work, but its fun to think about. They did it with Doom. Lol! npub1z2qwtf688mhculjvrlmrreq2mafpwxdkx9xhmegraqnvxzv4wk0sqc3y8p LeonianUniverseš @nprofileā¦2tje @nprofileā¦nk6v Lol, Super Liam on the TI84+ Calculator. I wonder how that would even work, lol! npub1z2qwtf688mhculjvrlmrreq2mafpwxdkx9xhmegraqnvxzv4wk0sqc3y8p LeonianUniverseš @nprofileā¦2tje @nprofileā¦nk6v Next thing you know, people will want Super Liam for their calculators. npub1z2qwtf688mhculjvrlmrreq2mafpwxdkx9xhmegraqnvxzv4wk0sqc3y8p LeonianUniverseš @nprofileā¦7hpz Doing quite well, took the day off from work, mental health day as it were and I am glad that I did. Feels good to be away from work for once on a day that isn't on the weekends. npub1z2qwtf688mhculjvrlmrreq2mafpwxdkx9xhmegraqnvxzv4wk0sqc3y8p LeonianUniverseš @nprofileā¦56kd Native Instruments is pretty cool, they have great products indeed. npub1z2qwtf688mhculjvrlmrreq2mafpwxdkx9xhmegraqnvxzv4wk0sqc3y8p LeonianUniverseš @nprofileā¦qwvz Lol, its literally something I've been thinking on and off for the past like 8 or 9 years, if there is a Dice World, why isn't there a Card World? I would have made it as a kid, but coding was difficult and I got too busy with life. npub1z2qwtf688mhculjvrlmrreq2mafpwxdkx9xhmegraqnvxzv4wk0sqc3y8p LeonianUniverseš @nprofileā¦6ea2 Hmm, I wonder if I should use my external Microphone for this, as I was originally using my headphone Microphone and the sample was lower quality as a result. npub1z2qwtf688mhculjvrlmrreq2mafpwxdkx9xhmegraqnvxzv4wk0sqc3y8p LeonianUniverseš @nprofileā¦6ea2 I tried to do it but it didn't work all that well, did you sing in to it so it could get a good idea of what your voice sounds like? How long of a recording did you give it? I want to clone my voice too but right now what it created isn't so good. npub1z2qwtf688mhculjvrlmrreq2mafpwxdkx9xhmegraqnvxzv4wk0sqc3y8p LeonianUniverseš @nprofileā¦qwvz Wait, there is a card world? I am very interested for sure. npub1z2qwtf688mhculjvrlmrreq2mafpwxdkx9xhmegraqnvxzv4wk0sqc3y8p LeonianUniverseš @nprofileā¦r0j8 @nprofileā¦lh9e @nprofileā¦0twk I've said it before and I'll say it again, your voice is literally the pinical of narration. Your narration sstyle is Goddess-teer, yes Goddess-teer since your not a God, and honestly, anyone who buys any books you narrated are in for a treat of epic proportions. I sincerely hope you come out of retirement at some point, despite all of the AI stuff on the market. npub1z2qwtf688mhculjvrlmrreq2mafpwxdkx9xhmegraqnvxzv4wk0sqc3y8p LeonianUniverseš @nprofileā¦hm66 Oh, I'm sure it will work really well for that. Lets see. npub1z2qwtf688mhculjvrlmrreq2mafpwxdkx9xhmegraqnvxzv4wk0sqc3y8p LeonianUniverseš @nprofileā¦hm66 Lol, I can't get it to sing lyrics except for when its forced to due to the chorus line, kind of a problem as I don't want to create rap style songs, I want to create songs which mostly lean on rock as the genre, so yeah, not great so far for that kind of style. npub1z2qwtf688mhculjvrlmrreq2mafpwxdkx9xhmegraqnvxzv4wk0sqc3y8p LeonianUniverseš Okay, so full disclosure on this #Song, its a throw-away song. I used #Suno 5.5 to see if it could take my voice and make it in to something great. You tell me what you think, I gave it a sound recording of my voice and I kinda like the way it came out, but does it sound like me? You tell me. I am somewhat neutral on this but want to try it out with more songs that aren't throw-away songs. Anyway, enjoy. https://caneandable.social/system/media_attachments/files/116/303/614/971/007/685/original/5d4a9ed174fb64d2.mp3 npub1z2qwtf688mhculjvrlmrreq2mafpwxdkx9xhmegraqnvxzv4wk0sqc3y8p LeonianUniverseš @nprofileā¦dj6u @nprofileā¦5yyl Wow, I actually really like the song, and I was never a big Beatles fan to begin with, but on his own, he's got great music. npub1z2qwtf688mhculjvrlmrreq2mafpwxdkx9xhmegraqnvxzv4wk0sqc3y8p LeonianUniverseš Just learned that #Suno would be able to create a model from my own actual voice that it could use for singers when creating music. This I have to try, because if itās my own voice, it will be more personal, and I like the sound of that. Suno 5.5 is exciting for sure, and this might just start the process of getting those pesky anti-AI musicians off my back. Lol! npub1z2qwtf688mhculjvrlmrreq2mafpwxdkx9xhmegraqnvxzv4wk0sqc3y8p LeonianUniverseš Honestly think I need to take a mental day off at some point, just so I can have some sanity back, might do that here in the next couple weeks, but today is pretty calm so far, except for the pain, the pain sucks. npub1z2qwtf688mhculjvrlmrreq2mafpwxdkx9xhmegraqnvxzv4wk0sqc3y8p LeonianUniverseš Also considering buying a laundry service, mainly because I'm lazy and don't want to spend my only days off doing laundry when I can do better things in my life, because I can think of at least a couple things I would much rather be doing. Although, I do laundry on the regular and can do it if I needed to, but hey, money is the great equalizer. npub1z2qwtf688mhculjvrlmrreq2mafpwxdkx9xhmegraqnvxzv4wk0sqc3y8p LeonianUniverseš @nprofileā¦x2t7 @nprofileā¦6ea2 This is exactly why I don't post my music there, I post it on platforms that accept the fact that I create AI-supported music. npub1z2qwtf688mhculjvrlmrreq2mafpwxdkx9xhmegraqnvxzv4wk0sqc3y8p LeonianUniverseš Just woke up after a nightmare-filled rest, God I hope today is better than the rest I got. npub1z2qwtf688mhculjvrlmrreq2mafpwxdkx9xhmegraqnvxzv4wk0sqc3y8p LeonianUniverseš @nprofileā¦3e6m That kinda sounds like fun not gonna lie. npub1z2qwtf688mhculjvrlmrreq2mafpwxdkx9xhmegraqnvxzv4wk0sqc3y8p LeonianUniverseš I really like Starcomm: Nexus, but the combat in this game isn't easy for sure, like, I don't know what to do when I get a ttacked, and the ships move really fast around me for sure. npub1z2qwtf688mhculjvrlmrreq2mafpwxdkx9xhmegraqnvxzv4wk0sqc3y8p LeonianUniverseš @nprofileā¦jyyq Also, I kinda feel bad about having to kill the robotic dogs, but they are robotic and not real so like 90% less bad than I otherwise would feel. npub1z2qwtf688mhculjvrlmrreq2mafpwxdkx9xhmegraqnvxzv4wk0sqc3y8p LeonianUniverseš @nprofileā¦jyyq I forgot which one of them had the city landscape, but that was pretty awesome for sure. I just like the way it felt to go through the level, plus the music in that level was great too from what I remember. npub1z2qwtf688mhculjvrlmrreq2mafpwxdkx9xhmegraqnvxzv4wk0sqc3y8p LeonianUniverseš @nprofileā¦7hpz I honestly think itās because your harddrive is failing. The sectors are probably corrupted and that is why the memory unloads. npub1z2qwtf688mhculjvrlmrreq2mafpwxdkx9xhmegraqnvxzv4wk0sqc3y8p LeonianUniverseš I would bet most people out there would talk to me and assume things about my music tastes which are all smmiles and fun, well... get to know me well enough, and you'll find out that isn't always the case. Lol! npub1z2qwtf688mhculjvrlmrreq2mafpwxdkx9xhmegraqnvxzv4wk0sqc3y8p LeonianUniverseš I got Spotify Premium again. I like the fact that I can share playlists with the people in my life who want to know what kind of craziness I listen to in terms of music. npub1z2qwtf688mhculjvrlmrreq2mafpwxdkx9xhmegraqnvxzv4wk0sqc3y8p LeonianUniverseš Most interesting part was that one of their sons who was also... of course, named Leo worked the front counter most times, while the rest worked in the kitchen, and their wives... yes, I asked, were pretty much all waitresses or worked in other more front of house type duties. A very interesting system. npub1z2qwtf688mhculjvrlmrreq2mafpwxdkx9xhmegraqnvxzv4wk0sqc3y8p LeonianUniverseš Kinda felt like walking in to a tribe of people who just happened to all be named the same. I never did ask their wives how they knew which Leo they wanted to talk to, was too shy to ask. npub1z2qwtf688mhculjvrlmrreq2mafpwxdkx9xhmegraqnvxzv4wk0sqc3y8p LeonianUniverseš @nprofileā¦lyzd I'm also very much in to tech, I'm what most people would call a technocrat. npub1z2qwtf688mhculjvrlmrreq2mafpwxdkx9xhmegraqnvxzv4wk0sqc3y8p LeonianUniverseš Well, Except for that family of dudes who run a peruvian chicken joint who are all named Leo. I thought that was cool. I didn't get to interact with them a whole lot, but man was that completely unexpected. I literally walked in the first time, they asked me what my name was for the order, I told them my name, and literally all of them were super surprised and they gave me chicken at no charge because of it. Super wild, always wondered if it was a feaver dream or something, but no, it was indeed real and they were all indeed named Leo... except the women of course, but all the men were named Leo. npub1z2qwtf688mhculjvrlmrreq2mafpwxdkx9xhmegraqnvxzv4wk0sqc3y8p LeonianUniverseš You know, sometimes I wish I knew another person named Leo and that we were friends. To this day, I've not met anyone named Leo as far as I can remember. Its such an uncommon name, that I feel like I'm the only one who has it. Kinda sucks tbh. Would love to make friends with someone who also has my name. npub1z2qwtf688mhculjvrlmrreq2mafpwxdkx9xhmegraqnvxzv4wk0sqc3y8p LeonianUniverseš @nprofileā¦lyzd Might be worth checking out, really as long as not a cent of my money goes toward her, that's what matters. npub1z2qwtf688mhculjvrlmrreq2mafpwxdkx9xhmegraqnvxzv4wk0sqc3y8p LeonianUniverseš @nprofileā¦lyzd I'm not an HP fan anymore mainly because of how much of a bitch Rowling turned out to be, and really me calling any woman a bitch should definitely tell you where I stand with her, because I never do that... like at all, all women are queens... usually. Point is, that sounds like a sorta red flag dynamic unless of course Granger is aged up of course to be of age. Interesting for sure though the fanfiction that could spark from a Dom dynamic between characters like that. npub1z2qwtf688mhculjvrlmrreq2mafpwxdkx9xhmegraqnvxzv4wk0sqc3y8p LeonianUniverseš Yes, I'm sure people will come at me with all sorts of dribble about how my system is invalid as well as stuff about me not liking something as much for what other people might consider a trivial reason, but I can't help it though. Any other configuration that isn't what I'm expecting just doesn't feel right. I already gave up the black olives this time, I didn't get to have Spinach, garlic sauce, although I did have the rest, but yes, the sandwitch being cut in to fourths instead of in half by default does bother me because its not what I expect, and it ruins my system grately. So Subway it is. I'll more than likely give the rest of the Sandwitch to one of my brothers so they can have the rest. npub1z2qwtf688mhculjvrlmrreq2mafpwxdkx9xhmegraqnvxzv4wk0sqc3y8p LeonianUniverseš And verdict on Jersey Mikes, great back-up option for 2 reasons. Yes, the Tuna is higher quality and the bread is better, but first, I can't have my black olives, and second, and the real reason I'm ordering Subway first is, they cut the Sandwitch in to fourths instead of in half, thus ruining my system Grately. I am simultaniously impressed and also quite disappointed at the same time. Almost perfect were it not for this blasfamy that they choose to employ. npub1z2qwtf688mhculjvrlmrreq2mafpwxdkx9xhmegraqnvxzv4wk0sqc3y8p LeonianUniverseš @nprofileā¦65zm Yes, as much as is possible. I did indeed do my very best to get it to my standards. npub1z2qwtf688mhculjvrlmrreq2mafpwxdkx9xhmegraqnvxzv4wk0sqc3y8p LeonianUniverseš @nprofileā¦xt9m I guess I must have had it before, but if so, I don't remember. npub1z2qwtf688mhculjvrlmrreq2mafpwxdkx9xhmegraqnvxzv4wk0sqc3y8p LeonianUniverseš Just learned Jersey Mikes has a Tuna Sandwitch, so gonna see if itās better than the Subway one. ,i wonder how much quality this delhi will have over Subway. Will indeed be reporting back. I'm disappointed that I can't get black olives on my Sub. npub1z2qwtf688mhculjvrlmrreq2mafpwxdkx9xhmegraqnvxzv4wk0sqc3y8p LeonianUniverseš @nprofileā¦7hpz You will most definitely need a screw driver for sure, also make sure its powered off and if you can wear rubber gloves just in case there is a current stored up before you touch anything. Good news is Amber can probably help you find where the drive is so you can remove it either by removing the screws which hold the drive in place, or the place where it slides out depending on how the laptop works. npub1z2qwtf688mhculjvrlmrreq2mafpwxdkx9xhmegraqnvxzv4wk0sqc3y8p LeonianUniverseš @nprofileā¦7hpz Is most of your stuff already backed-up? If so than you can just re-install windows on to the new drive when you get it, should save you there just in case you don't want to pay for the extra service to get your shit on the new drive. npub1z2qwtf688mhculjvrlmrreq2mafpwxdkx9xhmegraqnvxzv4wk0sqc3y8p LeonianUniverseš @nprofileā¦7hpz Ooh, yeah, honestly not surprised, you have had that computer for quite a long time, so definitely makes sense. What kind of Harddrive are you looking at getting? npub1z2qwtf688mhculjvrlmrreq2mafpwxdkx9xhmegraqnvxzv4wk0sqc3y8p LeonianUniverseš @nprofileā¦7hpz Doing alright brother, just woke up, not really a good thing to be sleeping early like that, but it definitely happened. My sleep schedule is all messed up, how are you? npub1z2qwtf688mhculjvrlmrreq2mafpwxdkx9xhmegraqnvxzv4wk0sqc3y8p LeonianUniverseš Man, I really gotta stop sleeping after work, lol! But hey, Starcomm very soon though. npub1z2qwtf688mhculjvrlmrreq2mafpwxdkx9xhmegraqnvxzv4wk0sqc3y8p LeonianUniverseš @nprofileā¦lyzd @nprofileā¦exag I mean did you kill that person so that you wouldn't have to share, otherwise, I'd have 9 because I'd just give them one, like nbd though. npub1z2qwtf688mhculjvrlmrreq2mafpwxdkx9xhmegraqnvxzv4wk0sqc3y8p LeonianUniverseš @nprofileā¦wqvl @nprofileā¦tly8 Lol, took me a moment to figure it out. Lol! npub1z2qwtf688mhculjvrlmrreq2mafpwxdkx9xhmegraqnvxzv4wk0sqc3y8p LeonianUniverseš @nprofileā¦yclf You really are quite cute indeed. npub1z2qwtf688mhculjvrlmrreq2mafpwxdkx9xhmegraqnvxzv4wk0sqc3y8p LeonianUniverseš When you intend on taking a nice Sunday nap and end up sleeping for like 6 hours. That was really nice though. npub1z2qwtf688mhculjvrlmrreq2mafpwxdkx9xhmegraqnvxzv4wk0sqc3y8p LeonianUniverseš @nprofileā¦7hpz Let me see if I can find it. npub1z2qwtf688mhculjvrlmrreq2mafpwxdkx9xhmegraqnvxzv4wk0sqc3y8p LeonianUniverseš @nprofileā¦r0j8 @nprofileā¦7cfz Aww, that's just so cute! Hope y'all continue to be very happy together. npub1z2qwtf688mhculjvrlmrreq2mafpwxdkx9xhmegraqnvxzv4wk0sqc3y8p LeonianUniverseš @nprofileā¦lvgx Damn, but your absolutely right though and I think that this way of doing things is not only wrong for us, but wrong for the people it causes to suffer, and though I can not change it, I do wish it were different. npub1z2qwtf688mhculjvrlmrreq2mafpwxdkx9xhmegraqnvxzv4wk0sqc3y8p LeonianUniverseš @nprofileā¦lvgx That's just dumbfuckery if I've ever heard it. npub1z2qwtf688mhculjvrlmrreq2mafpwxdkx9xhmegraqnvxzv4wk0sqc3y8p LeonianUniverseš Hell, in EU countries, people literally get paid to study and go to college so that they can work at getting degrees that will help them to do better things with their lives. If anything, that would certainly convince me that I certainly should go ahead and do things like Law school given the chance if I knew I could focus only on studying and not on how much it costs. These sorts of programs aren't even socialism as everyone likes to state who's a #Republican, they are just basic things that the social contract should provide for. The government should want people to become educated, more education means higher-paying jobs, higher-paying jobs means more tax revenue, more tax revenue means more the government can do with the money. Its really a win-win for everyone, but no, we're stupid here in America. #UsPol npub1z2qwtf688mhculjvrlmrreq2mafpwxdkx9xhmegraqnvxzv4wk0sqc3y8p LeonianUniverseš How can we call ourselves a first-world country and yet we can't even afford to provide free healthcare for our citizens, free college for people so they can learn things to better their lives, a basic income which allows for people seeking a job not to have to worry about whether or not they'll be able to eat the next week. All of these things are provided by so-called third-world countries, including in dictatorships like Cuba, Russia, and other countries all throughout the world, yet we can't get that here for our citizens. Anyone else see a problem with this? npub1z2qwtf688mhculjvrlmrreq2mafpwxdkx9xhmegraqnvxzv4wk0sqc3y8p LeonianUniverseš You know, the #Republicans love to say, "America first", but where is that energy now when people in Iran are dying and that money could be used to fund benefits for American citizens like healthcare not reliant on whether or not you work, housing for people who need it, free education because education should be something everyone should be able to access. Where is all that? It was never about America first, it was always about American interests first, not American people, American citizens. #USPol npub1z2qwtf688mhculjvrlmrreq2mafpwxdkx9xhmegraqnvxzv4wk0sqc3y8p LeonianUniverseš @nprofileā¦r0j8 @nprofileā¦0evn Hell yeah, I love to see when my friends are successful at things, your not a true friend if you can't watch the people you care about win and then feel good about it with them. npub1z2qwtf688mhculjvrlmrreq2mafpwxdkx9xhmegraqnvxzv4wk0sqc3y8p LeonianUniverseš @nprofileā¦r0j8 Figured that might be the case, lol! npub1z2qwtf688mhculjvrlmrreq2mafpwxdkx9xhmegraqnvxzv4wk0sqc3y8p LeonianUniverseš @nprofileā¦7hpz Its the GH link, not the Bing link. npub1z2qwtf688mhculjvrlmrreq2mafpwxdkx9xhmegraqnvxzv4wk0sqc3y8p LeonianUniverseš @nprofileā¦7hpz **Hereās the exact GitHub link youāre looking for ā Seneca Golfās full openāsource code is hosted publicly and ready to clone or build from source.** Your friend can download it, inspect the C++ code, and compile it on Windows, macOS, or Linux. --- # ā³ **Seneca Golf ā Official GitHub Repository** ### **š GitHub:** **`https://github.com/csites/Seneca-Golf` [(github.com in Bing)](https://www.bing.com/search?q="https%3A%2F%2Fgithub.com%2Fcsites%2FSeneca-Golf")** This is the *entire* source code for the simulator, including: - C++ engine code - Urho3D/Horde3D integration - Build files (CMake) - Assets and sample course - TODO/GOALS notes from the developer --- # š§± **What your friend will need to build it** Hereās a quick overview so he knows what to expect: ### āļø **Tools required** - **CMake** - **A C++ compiler** (MSVC on Windows, Clang/GCC on Linux/macOS) - **Urho3D or Horde3D libraries** (the repo references both historically) - **Git** to clone the repo ### āļø **Platforms supported** - **Windows** - **Linux** - **macOS** ### āļø **Why building from source is necessary** Seneca Golf does **not** ship binaries or installers. Itās a DIY project intended for: - modders - hobbyists - people building custom golf simulators - anyone wanting to extend the engine --- # šÆ If you want, I can also help you with: - Stepābyāstep build instructions for Windows - How to add TTS or audio cues for blind accessibility - How to expose ball position, wind, slope, and shot angle as text - How to design a blindāfriendly golf UI layer Just tell me what direction you and your friend want to go next. npub1z2qwtf688mhculjvrlmrreq2mafpwxdkx9xhmegraqnvxzv4wk0sqc3y8p LeonianUniverseš @nprofileā¦7hpz Oh right, I can find it for you, but you will have to complile it yourself as the source code is what's listed, not anything else, so you'll need to build it from source. npub1z2qwtf688mhculjvrlmrreq2mafpwxdkx9xhmegraqnvxzv4wk0sqc3y8p LeonianUniverseš @nprofileā¦7hpz I guesss Steam doesn't host Open Source golf games. npub1z2qwtf688mhculjvrlmrreq2mafpwxdkx9xhmegraqnvxzv4wk0sqc3y8p LeonianUniverseš @nprofileā¦7hpz Yeah, but here are a couple options you could mod, and they look like viable golf simulators you might want to take a look at: Hereās the short answer: **yes ā there *are* openāsource golf games your friend can mod**, and a couple of them are *perfect* candidates for blindāaccessibility work because theyāre simple, moddable, and not tied to proprietary engines. Below is a clean breakdown of the best options, what makes them modāfriendly, and which ones are most realistic for accessibility work. --- # ā³ **Top OpenāSource Golf Games Your Friend Can Mod** ## š© **1. Seneca Golf (OpenāSource Golf Simulator)** **License:** GPLā3.0 **Engine:** Custom (C++ + Horde3D/Urho3D) **Source:** ### Why itās a strong candidate - Fully openāsource golf simulator. - Designed for DIY, homebrew, and modding. - Built with a real 3D engine (Urho3D), which is also openāsource. - Has courseābuilding potential and a clear codebase. ### Why itās good for blind accessibility - Because itās openāsource at the engine level, you can: - Add textātoāspeech hooks directly. - Expose game state (ball position, distance, wind, slope) as readable text. - Build a nonvisual UI layer. This is the **most powerful** option if your friend wants deep control. --- ## š© **2. Golf in 2D (Godot Engine)** **License:** Godot is MIT; the game code is open on GitHub **Engine:** Godot (openāsource) **Source:** ### Why itās a great accessibility candidate - 2D physics ā much easier to describe nonvisually. - Godot is extremely modāfriendly and fully openāsource. - GDScript is simple and readable. - UI and game state can be exposed to screen readers or custom TTS. ### Accessibility potential - You can add: - Keyboardādriven shot controls. - Audio cues for angle, power, and obstacles. - Textābased descriptions of the course layout. This is the **easiest** project to modify for blind players. --- ## š© **3. Endless Sky (Not golf, but relevant to your pattern)** You already know this one ā itās openāsource and now accessible thanks to a mod. Mentioning it only because it shows how far accessibility mods can go when the engine is open. --- # ā ļø What *doesnāt* exist (and why) A Reddit thread confirms that **openāsource golf simulators are rare** because the niche is small and commercial simulators rely on proprietary hardware and encrypted data streams. Source: This means your friend is already looking in the right direction: **openāsource games, not commercial simulators.** --- # š **Best Choice for Blind Accessibility** If your friend wants the *most realistic path* to a blindāaccessible golf game: ### **Pick this depending on the goal:** | Goal | Best Game | Why | |------|-----------|------| | **Realistic golf simulation** | **Seneca Golf** | Full simulator, open engine, deep modding potential | | **Simpler, faster accessibility mod** | **Golf in 2D (Godot)** | 2D, easy scripting, clean UI, perfect for audioāfirst design | | **Learning modding with low complexity** | **Godotābased 2D Golf** | Very beginnerāfriendly | --- # npub1z2qwtf688mhculjvrlmrreq2mafpwxdkx9xhmegraqnvxzv4wk0sqc3y8p LeonianUniverseš @nprofileā¦7hpz Hmm, let me see if I can find a Golf game that you could mod that is Open Source. npub1z2qwtf688mhculjvrlmrreq2mafpwxdkx9xhmegraqnvxzv4wk0sqc3y8p LeonianUniverseš @nprofileā¦7hpz Got blocked... how exactly? npub1z2qwtf688mhculjvrlmrreq2mafpwxdkx9xhmegraqnvxzv4wk0sqc3y8p LeonianUniverseš @nprofileā¦r0j8 Curious how you did that tbh but also wouldn't want to offend you potentially. npub1z2qwtf688mhculjvrlmrreq2mafpwxdkx9xhmegraqnvxzv4wk0sqc3y8p LeonianUniverseš @nprofileā¦54qh @nprofileā¦k22v Yep, definitely okay with this for sure. I mean, airlines give you headphones that you can use, might as well use them if you don't have any of your own. npub1z2qwtf688mhculjvrlmrreq2mafpwxdkx9xhmegraqnvxzv4wk0sqc3y8p LeonianUniverseš @nprofileā¦lter There is one for Endless Sky which is awesome, also one for Aurora 4x which is pretty cool too, also I finally installed a couple final fantasy mods and started playing those games too. npub1z2qwtf688mhculjvrlmrreq2mafpwxdkx9xhmegraqnvxzv4wk0sqc3y8p LeonianUniverseš When you don't sleep the whole night because you find out there are so many accessibility mods for games that you don't know which game to play, so you play all of them. This is me now. Itās kinda a problem. Lol! npub1z2qwtf688mhculjvrlmrreq2mafpwxdkx9xhmegraqnvxzv4wk0sqc3y8p LeonianUniverseš @nprofileā¦awd8 I mean, I enjoy the slop, but I use it for a particular purpose and I'll almost certainly never publish it anywhere when it comes to writing, as they'll probably be found when I eventually die and people will probably find it strange or whatever. Point is, AI can do what I can't pay a writer to do in the same way without them judging me for it. npub1z2qwtf688mhculjvrlmrreq2mafpwxdkx9xhmegraqnvxzv4wk0sqc3y8p LeonianUniverseš Here is the ITunes link for your viewing pleasure: Eutopian Overture - Single by LeonianUniverse https://music.apple.com/us/album/eutopian-overture-single/1884362699 npub1z2qwtf688mhculjvrlmrreq2mafpwxdkx9xhmegraqnvxzv4wk0sqc3y8p LeonianUniverseš @nprofileā¦je87 Oh, I mean the second part. Not so much the first. Lol! npub1z2qwtf688mhculjvrlmrreq2mafpwxdkx9xhmegraqnvxzv4wk0sqc3y8p LeonianUniverseš Hi everyone, This is Eutopian Overture, a companion piece meant to go alongside the Eutopia Collection. Been working on this for a couple weeks now and glad its finally released. If you enjoy Electropop, this is for you. This song encapsulates everything about the Eutopia Collection that I wanted to capture in the Tech Opus, but could not. Hope you enjoy, and I'll also be posting the separate ITunes link should you enjoy what you hear and feel so inclined to support me by buying my music. #Music #EutopianOverture #EutopiaCollection #Suno #AI https://music.apple.com/us/album/eutopian-overture-single/1884362699 npub1z2qwtf688mhculjvrlmrreq2mafpwxdkx9xhmegraqnvxzv4wk0sqc3y8p LeonianUniverseš @nprofileā¦j3r0 I use waterminder to keep track of my water intake. Its great becaues I can just tell it to log my water and give it a number after I've drank the water, and it tells me periodically how much water I still need to drink. npub1z2qwtf688mhculjvrlmrreq2mafpwxdkx9xhmegraqnvxzv4wk0sqc3y8p LeonianUniverseš @nprofileā¦je87 I mean, I really only get this from my girl, and I'd take it in a completely different context with anyone else, but it would still make my day though. npub1z2qwtf688mhculjvrlmrreq2mafpwxdkx9xhmegraqnvxzv4wk0sqc3y8p LeonianUniverseš I probably should try to go to sleep, but I have too much energy to do it though. npub1z2qwtf688mhculjvrlmrreq2mafpwxdkx9xhmegraqnvxzv4wk0sqc3y8p LeonianUniverseš I really do wish that I was better at typing, well... more accurately, that I didn't make as many mistakes while typing as I seemed not to do when I was younger. It feels like a lot of the time, I have to go back and proofread my posts because my fingers move too fast for the keyboard to sometimes register that I had written a letter or some letters move out of focus with the words I am meaning to actually type. Maybe I'm just getting older already and therefore losing my ability to type as I once did at 106WPM with a 92% accuracy. npub1z2qwtf688mhculjvrlmrreq2mafpwxdkx9xhmegraqnvxzv4wk0sqc3y8p LeonianUniverseš I got my NLS Player to work again, feels nice to be able to download and read books again. I find if I read audio books at a faster speed than the default, I'm likely to listen to them for longer. npub1z2qwtf688mhculjvrlmrreq2mafpwxdkx9xhmegraqnvxzv4wk0sqc3y8p LeonianUniverseš Do any #IPad users find that they have problems using the magic keyboard, where it will randomly decide to not allow you to type in letters in to an edit box, or decide that typing a letter means you want to enable dictation or any number of commands you can trigger with just a letter? If so, how do you fix this. I really need help, as itās just super annoying and I otherwise like the IPad experience but not for this. #Blind #IPad #tech npub1z2qwtf688mhculjvrlmrreq2mafpwxdkx9xhmegraqnvxzv4wk0sqc3y8p LeonianUniverseš @nprofileā¦p25k Oh I see, well damn, that's I guess her way of doing things, and it sounds like he's not doing his part if they are living in the 1950's style of traditionalism, is that about right?
