Did any any of you accomplish anything you wanted to do this month? Did you have any plans or goals in the first place?

>Did you have any plans or goals in the first place?
i did have goals, got a couple of job interviews, waiting on feedback. i'm nervous but things are finally moving. what about you op?
>>
>>83469398
I got some neat things and I've been procrastinating on quite a few projects. Been feeling rather depressive these last few weeks. Winter is almost always a sad time, it seems.

Hopefully they actually notify you on if they decide to give you the job or not. What goals did you have? Were they related to getting whatever job you're applying for? I hope your nervousness isn't causing you to freak out too much
>what about you op?
I didn't really have any goals this month. I did start to go through the godot coding tutorial thing and I'm taking some notes while doing it but I haven't really done anything of note. I've been really tired throughout most days this month.
>>83469416
>projects
What kind of projects? Anything creative?
>Been feeling rather depressive these last few weeks. Winter is almost always a sad time, it seems.
Seasonal depression huh? Winter is a time for rest and relaxation for me but I won't lie and say that I haven't been feeling a bit down.
>>83469424
>im just waiting for the technological singularity at this point
That's an odd reason to continue living for but it's good that it works for you lol
>>
>>83469528
A few videos that I need to make, as far as creative ones. Mostly this electric bacteria chamber I want to make to test if they'll make oxygen if CO2 is their carbon source and if they can tolerate atmospheric oxygen levels.
>Seasonal depression huh?
Nah, things just love to go to shit at this time of year for me, it seems. The darker days and everything don't really bother me subconsciously, I figure, like it does others since I'm a pretty nocturnal person. What about you, dollanon? Do anything neat lately?
>>
>>83469528
>What goals did you have?
getting a job, or even getting interviews. i applied to some jobs earlier this year and i didn't receive one single email back. i thought it was my resume, but apparently it was something else. i don't know what it was though. and yeah, at this point i'm like yolo man i can't be a neet forever
>I did start to go through the godot coding tutorial thing
that's good. baby steps anon, you can do it
>>
>>83469398
i guess if you count being jolly then i accomplished that... i dont really make plans for the month. or the week. or the day...

>electric bacteria
I'm guessing this is bioanon (It's been like a month so I'm not sure). I don't know what is required for a chamber like that but I'm pretty sure it would need a bunch of specialized equipment. Also, I didn't know you were interested in making videos. Do you already have a channel you post to?
>things just love to go to shit at this time of year for me, it seems.
Well you aren't alone because this month has been pretty objectively bad. I'm still hopemaxxing(coping) so it hasn't gotten me too badly. I'm just happy to have no work for the next three days.
>Do anything neat lately?
Not really. I was on the /g/ wiki for the last few weeks looking at the different articles there and I started using Obsidian for my notes now. I've also started playing Elin again recently.
>>83469582
>i applied to some jobs earlier this year and i didn't receive one single email back.
Yeah it's kind of a coin flip if the company cares enough to tell you if you didn't make it or if they'll keep you in result limbo.
>yeah, at this point i'm like yolo man
You really do just have to brute force it despite your nerves lol
>i can't be a neet forever
I've never been a neet, but I assume that unless you can afford it or are being given money by the government, you're basically on a limited timer on how long you can keep it up for. What kind of jobs are you applying for?
>>
>>83469687
Being jolly can be a goal too lol. Are you going to have a Christmas party or something?

>>83469719
Yup, it's me. I was wondering where you had been too. The chamber doesn't actually have too much in terms of complicated bits, the main part of it is just a variable DC power supply. The other bits are using a 5 gallon bucket and tin foil B^)(but I have more to make it better at its job, hopefully).

I do have a channel, but it only has a few videos. I'm not the best uploader and my videos are bit spread out. Enjoy the mini-vacation too. Elin is an odd JPRG, isn't it? I think I vaguely remember it but I haven't played it.

Also I gotta go out at night once it's cold out to dig into some mud and suck up the nasty water in hopes of getting electric bacteria for my chamber once it's ready.

I've been here but haven't made a thread because I didn't have anything to say (I still don't lol) and I didn't feel like talking to anyone because of how busy it's been at work. After talking to a bunch of people every other day I got tired and retreated inwards.
>variable DC power supply
I could be remembering this wrong, but didn't you say you were saving for some kind of battery / power supply the last time we spoke? How has that been going? The whole thing sounds incredibly easy to make.

Most youtubers upload like once a month anyway so don't worry about your own spread out uploads too much. I made a channel earlier this year talking about my projects but I didn't realize how much I hated having to record myself reading off a very loose script and haven't uploaded since. I'm thinking about remaking it but with TTS instead of my voice.

Elin is kind of like a JRPG terraria but with no boss focus and a shit ton of crafting. It's very fun to play when I don't feel like doing anything else.
>I gotta go out at night once it's cold out to dig into some mud and suck up the nasty water in hopes of getting electric bacteria for my chamber once it's ready.
I thought you could just order them online or something like that. How do you know when you find some?

>Christmas party
i went to something like that yesterday with some of my classmates, it was the last day of school this year so we decided to just have a party instead of classes. at the school with the professors. it was nice, i wish i could've talked more but alas being awkward is what i do best. didnt help that almost everyone there was at least twice my age...
>>83469756
it is good, yes. sadly doesn't do anything more than make you want to sing christmas songs though. i really wish it snowed here, i'd be so happy if it did. and even more jolly. and i'd have a new objective too: make a snowman
>>
>>83469979
I kind of figured, since I did remember you saying that you had issues with coming up with ideas for threads. You remembered right too! I got a cheap, Chinese one after all since I figured it'd be fine since I need to run it at a low voltage anyhow(so how taxing could it really be for the system, right?).
>Most youtubers upload like once a month anyway so don't worry about your own spread out uploads too much.
Well... My last upload was like 10 months ago now, but it did get a surge of views out of nowhere-- kind of out of nowhere. A big youtuber made a video that included the subject of that video and I guess that got enough people interested to look about that they also found my tiny channel.

I imagine your voice isn't as bad as you think it is, I just got into the habit of ranting and then cutting mine up. It helps that my voice doesn't bother me though. Would you do just the old kind of TTS or some AI TTS?

Also, I see. That makes Elin sound quite fun. I had ideas before about making something like a 3D Terraria with lots of bosses and mechanics for mobility to match with Terraria's.
>order them
I just looked it up, since I figured no one would be selling any but it seems I was wrong... It just costs an eyewatering(like almost 500$ for a frozen culture) amount B'^). I can at least explain how I would know though: I'd have control electrodes and the real ones in the same chamber. The control electrodes should lack a biofilm or have less of it compared to the actual electrodes with current going into them. The other method is to just stick graphite electrodes into the ground or mud and see if anything starts to grow on them. So if my sucked up mud water fails to get anything growing then I can instead get some graphite electrodes and make a nice, muddy patch for them to stick into. With any luck a trail of anoxic water will be enough to get them to crawl up to the electrode and be harvestable.

I don't know how that cheap power supply might handle being outside for days at a time though... At least if it catches on fire then it won't be inside of the house B^^^^).
>>83470010
I wish it snowed here, or that I lived somewhere that it did -- but knowing how vulnerable to the cold I am now... Maybe it's for the best B'^). I'd probably die, knowing me. The Christmas decorations are nice outside though, right?

Age gaps make it so hard to relate to anyone unless you happen to have similar interests so don't feel bad about it. Do you have any friends from those classes or are they mostly acquaintances?
>>83470085
>I got a cheap, Chinese one
That's good, just be careful if it's way too cheap compared to normal ones. It should be fine at low voltage like you said, but still you don't want to risk anything with cheap products.

>My last upload was like 10 months ago now
That's still fine lol. If you don't mind, can I see your channel? If you aren't comfortable with sharing it that's fine too. I'm just curious.

I used to dislike my voice a few years ago but I don't really care about how I sound. The main issue is I'm not used to talking to the screen while recording without getting nervous. It takes so long to say everything the way I want to and it usually sucks. The funny part is I actually stream myself playing limbus company pretty much every week and I'm just fine when it comes to that. It's only when I'm making videos explaining something is when I suddenly can't speak. I also talk to myself all the time so it really doesn't make sense. I figured that if I'm using TTS, I can just type out everything I want to say and just pick the voice I want to use and it'll be fine.
>Would you do just the old kind of TTS or some AI TTS?
I'll most likely use the non ai ones but I don't really know much about AI TTS. As long as I can use them from my PC I don't really mind what it is. I just don't want to have to rely on a website to read it out for me then next thing you know, the website suddenly gets taken down or some other bs happens and I have to find something else.

>3D Terraria
Do you have any concrete ideas or is it more of an ethereal concept right now?

Holy shit that's expensive. Sticking to luck seems to be the better strategy here.

Comp sci, hopefully gonna get a minor in either cyber security or film. Honestly just wanna see what abroad opportunities come up and take the first ones I get, especially for Japan since when I went there on vacation I had a blast.

>>83470210
Surely I won't light the house on fire with Chinese garbage B^). Surely. Sure, I'd be happy to share my channel and even get a link to yours if you're comfortable with that -- just not on this site. Do you have an email I can send a link to you with?

I see, I see. I'm far too used to talking to myself, at least in my head, since I spend too much time thinking and debating with, well, myself. Would it work better if you imagine yourself lecturing an audience, kind of like how you're talking to one when you stream? People like a real voice on a video, in my own observations. It gives most people something to form that dreaded parasocial relationship to. Although, with projects and technical stuff then I can't imagine it matters there.
>Do you have any concrete ideas or is it more of an ethereal concept right now?
Oh yeah, I had a bunch. Even some ideas on trying to get the world formation to be less like a bunch of perlin noise with maybe some non-linear interpolation to make things look more realistic(which is what Minecraft does, iirc they basically have splines that mess with the height of terrain and what not based on the inputs from other noise maps). The problem though is that you'd want to not have to store all of that data and the best way to do that is to not save unedited chunks and thus to regenerate them and well... The more complex the process of generating them then the longer it'd take to reload them. I did come up with a few ideas I'd be fine to email to you too in relation to overcoming that though.
>Holy shit that's expensive. Sticking to luck seems to be the better strategy here.
Well it's not even really a luck thing either, geobacter and other electric bacteria seem to be ubiquitous in anoxic sediments! Especially swampy ones... >B^)... Like Florida's. Running a biolab is expensive though, so it makes sense that even a bacterial culture would be eyewateringly fucking pricy.

>I'd probably die, knowing me
naw, you'd just go on hibernation for a while anon... i love the cold. so much better than warm temperatures. if you ever get the chance to do so, visit some mountains. there's sure to be some snow there! are you taking care of yourself anon? and your experiments.
>>83470210
>to have similar interests
there's a guy that does have similar interests to me, he plays games and listens to the same genres of music i listen to (he's in his 30s and thats why...) but i think what makes it impossible for me to befriend is people isnt the age (unless they're over 50 i guess) just how different we are mentally. as in, they're all norrmal and im not.
>Do you have any friends from these classes
i wish. sadly like i've said before, i cant make friends with normalfags even i wanted to. the most important thing for me in a friendship/relationship is mutual understanding. if i know you'll understand how i feel, then i can be a lot more relaxed around you, and so it'll make me want to be with you more, like you more etc. and if i understand how the other person feels, then i feel like i can help if they need and such. with normalfags it's like im talking to a different species and that i have to be on my toes all the time to not say something that might spark uncomfortable coversations that i dont want to have.
>>
>>83470278
I used to be like that, but my body temperature and ability to generate heat has died with time so now even Summer's heat isn't so bad but just a bit of cold and I quickly get really chilly B'^). I don't shiver though, I can't seemingly shiver anymore, which is good. No mountains anywhere near me though, but I would love to visit some up north. Mountains always look so beautiful. I'm taking enough care of myself though and my experiments are expanding, I just need to not procrastinate so much!

I hope you're taking care of yourself too, fren. Anything new happen with you recently?

That's fair. You can email this email dollanon.detention221@passinbox.com

It should forward it to my actual email but I haven't used Proton Pass before. I'll send the one that I'm planning on remaking to you but there's literally only 3 videos and it's kind of just me making promises that I absolutely could not keep.(I'm such a fraud that it's embarrassing)

I feel for you on this. It's the main reason I can't really get close with most people irl either.

I'm going to start getting ready for bed now so I don't stay up past 4 AM. I might make another thread later in the day so see you guys then if I go through with it. Good night.

Sent you an email, hopefully it all worked -- but I should know if it didn't if I get my own email sent back to me. Or I believe I remember that as being how that worked. I'm sure your videos are more than fine, I look forward to seein' 'em too!

hmm some people are just built different... then you must wear heavy coats when you go out in the winter. does it actually get cold there? cause after all it seems almost like a tropical region. i like wearing my trench coat in winter, and feel very badass when it flaps around in the wind.
>my experiments are expanding
oooh. are they still legal or have they evolved into something uhm, more interesting? anyhow its also nice to know your videos are starting to do good too desu! i remember you shared one with me some time ago, they must take some effort to make. all i've ever created are funny meme montages.

Well, for me it's the Hashimoto's that's my problem B'^). I used to be such a hotbody as a kid but at some point my immune system decided that cursing with me really bad allergies wasn't enough and started chewing at my thyroid as well. I almost gets to freezing down here in the Winter, but rarely below that. I have seen frost on the ground once! No snow though, I think the last time it snowed here was over 100 years ago.

I really need mittens too now, for when it does get cold. My hands always end up hurting from how cold they get on a walk. My experiments are/will also still (be) legal! As long as you don't consider salting shrimps as animal torture. But from what I remember in the framing of the law, it was based around doing it without necessity and I'd say it's very necessary to make shrimps that can handle super salty waters B^). The videos do take a good bit of work, but not as much as you might think -- most of the work is actually in just getting all of the facts. The short part is actually recording and editing it but I keep procrastinating :'). Funny meme montages are also nice, they help get my mood up at times. I should watch some later. I hope things go well with the psychiatrist, but don't let them get you down if things don't go well. Have a goofy worm too B^).

Failed a uni class, but passed two others with pretty decent grades. This month has really been a blur. For the class I failed, I knew I needed to study hard and do well on the final exam. But despite understanding that fundamentally, I didn't feel any urgency. I would sit for hours thinking, "I need to study." Then I wouldn't study. I had plenty of time do so. I didn't feel dread or any other feeling about it. I simply knew what I needed to do and didn't. I don't even feel sad about it. I don't feel anything.

yeah, that's what i meant too. it seems like a load of work to get all that stuff. and then put it together too to make a video with it. best i can do is read random wikipedia pages and then forget i did it like 10 minutes later.
