Let’s play a game of “Fortunately, Unfortunately“. Respond the previous post (the first comment below this post) by replying this post (not the previous post!)
I’ll start with: “I found this website.“
since I forgot to tell what I bought on February and April (well, the server is read-only at that time) I’ll tell them here
i got peak and there is no game (not the jam edition) on 23 February. i’ve considered other games but this is the only pair i’m willing to buy at that time
i got untitled goose game on 17 April. it was on sale back then and i thought it’s thematic after april fools
i didn’t end up playing these a lot, because these are Unity games that have no native Linux support, and proton can’t run them without it randomly freezing. no amount of googling or startpaging brought me close to a solution. i’d like to run them on wine directly but i can’t seem to get the Steam API to work there (and no, i do not wish to circumvent it)
the only time i got to play one of them properly (peak) is when i booted into Windows, but i don’t want to switch OSes every time to play a game
Somehow I forgot I chose to team up with the two nerdiest classmate on my OOP class for our project
man Wine never ceases to disappoint >=(
that virtual desktop mantra is completely ineffective to TING
we have AI class today and we were presenting the projects we’re going to make (using AI of course)
they’re… not half bad, at least in theory
one group proposed a classifier of rice diseases (the plants, not the grains). the lecturer and I found this interesting
another proposed a dynamic traffic light that decides when to change lights depending on the vehicles the system sees. again we found this interesting, though the lifely risk is definitely more direct and pronounced here.
there’s this one group who proposed an assistant for teachers to correct answers and generate questions. I’m okay with correcting answers (at least with moderation) but the question one I’m less comfortable with. I suppose teachers are the least creative jobs ever (though I hope not), so using AI to create (or at least suggest) questions maybe isn’t a bad idea.
the group I’m on proposed something related to the distribution of staple food (well, rice in here), but not much I can recall. “their” project is composed entirely from responses of ex-Bard if I’m not mistaken (I bet all of our projects are like that too). apparently it’s a chatbot, which I think makes this the most uninteresting project we have in our class. oh well, I guess I’ll go with the flow for now.
finally, this one group proposed a real-time, speech-to-sign language translator for special school students, which is insane given that we’re given just 1 semester to complete this project. the lecturer even asked them to consider replacing this to just recognize the signs instead, because this is a thesis worthy project and not something two undergrads can make.
whatever the project is though, the term AI was thrown out a lot (it’s AI class for crying out loud) so I really need to get used to that. these projects are mostly utilitarian rather than creative, which is why I said they’re fine. however, I still believe there would be some moral issues stemming from them, mostly on data collection and erroneous results.
(oh btw, if you’re asking, this AI class I’m attending pertains to AI in general, not to their subfields like ML or NNs or expert systems. those classes need this class as a prerequisite, so that’s why I’m picking it here. also, it’s a required class so that’s another reason why)
i.e, me looking at whatever steam recommended to me, and writing my opinions of it (as posted on the TBGs)
peak: looks interesting, but since it's mainly a co-op game I don't think I can experience it fully (I don't have intimate friends, let alone ones that have this game). it is cheap though
there is no game: not jam edition: currently on sale; I could pair this with peak
the farmer was replaced: python made into a game, I think. not sure how much can I play this before getting bored, but I think it's worth a try
geometry dash: not that I feel like buying another ex-rhythm game right now but sure I'll think about it
balatro: not sure if card games are my jam, but people say it's good. i'll look into it
overcooked! (2): played this with my cousin back then and it was nice, but again it's mainly a co-op game so I can't experience this fully. local co-op is an option, but I only have my keyboard to play
a little to the left: visually stunning, not very engaging. not sure if this is for me
poly bridge 3: probably not with that price. got a feeling I need to splurge a little though
deltarune: look I love the game but the price is just too high for me. maybe I'll wait when chapter 5 releases or something, and then I'll consider it. sorry
can’t sleep well last night. when I was half awake, I wrote this (partisan?) writing:
More and more people are trying to defile the upper-class nowadays, in places you don't expect, and it's getting depressing at this point. Always for the people. Always against money. Always for their morals. Always against capitalism. Always for freedom. Always against tyranny. All supported only by their dogma, which I do not doubt their validity. Still, if I'm being honest, I don't want this sentiment to become the Internet meta.
The alternatives aren't great either. Spiralling into the burning hell of radicals is easy, but not without losing all my attributes which I hold dearly. Doing nothing, especially with stances becoming more extreme as ever, is now seen as a cowardice act. And making peace? We all long for peace, but lo, the oppressors just couldn't stop fighting. I rather look like a pussy than part of white noise, or a corrupted member of society.
I guess the days are evil after all. I should've prayed more...
you know, perhaps keeping to use a 120W laptop charger with a torn cable isn’t the best idea after all
good thing I pulled the plug before the damn thing burns my mostly wooden furniture 
If you love being a one-finger physician, you’ll love this game about… maids or something idk
