The You Game!

[The Jonster]

< agrees with ^ when talking about stagnating after graduation. < also felt a bit of nostalgia once < graduated, but things seem to be a bit better now. ^ shouldn't worry to sound somber (< thinks it doesn't in really), it's okay to reflect on things.

< knows all about stagnating after graduating. < is heading to a reunion next month, and feels it could end up something like this:

< wonders if anyone has seen Kevin Roose's strange conversation with Bing Chat. < would have posted that in the AI topic, but that would involve double-posting

< says thanks to you both! This has kind of been on <‘s mind for a long time now. < thinks < should find something to work on. Which for cyber security, < has found a website with topics to practice with and going back and learning C and Java again. Is it going to be a lot for <? Yes. Will < remember everything? Gonna be hard but <‘ll have to try <‘s best. < will still be around though

< is going to have to start balancing <‘s time between play, practice, and work since < still spends too much time playing. At least <‘s found a way to manage <‘s time better (< thanks the stopwatch and clock for that)

< finds that it doesn't matter too much with a good enough JPG compression algorithm, and that the files end up being much smaller, but < understands why some people would want this!

< knows it's tangentially related, but finds it pleasing that this was posted the same day that Google seem to be reconsidering dropping JPEG-XL from Chrome Seemingly JPEGs can be recompressed as JPEG-XL with no loss and smaller filesize…

< has the exact same issue with time management. < is glad that ^^ is getting back into languages like C. < remembers talks about it years ago, and back then < knew nothing about programing other than some basic Python. OOP actually turns out to be extremely useful, and is even used in Unity a lot. It's not always necessary to use OOP, but it's most certainly very efficient when you get the hang of it.

< wants to look into JS at some point too, but < would like to do either C++ or C#, due to the fact that the former is very useful for many reasons, and the latter is used in Unity, which < will use for some game dev every so often. < will finish <'s Python course first though, and it's much more advanced than the first course, which is a good thing.

< wishes ^^ the best of luck with their studies. The way < learns isn't very linear either, like < can look over notes and take notes etc., but it almost feels like < doesn't process anything at the time. Later then, it turns out that < does in fact remember a lot of what < had revised, it's just interesting how it works. < still finds the best way for < to learn personally is to practice by applying the solutions. For example, making a little personal project, like < did with a DPCM to WAV converter < wrote in Python. Little personal projects like this make it fun to apply anything that you have learnt (and learn more), even if they're very simplistic projects, they give you a reason to practice and improve.

< just realized tomorrow is RPC's twentieth birthday!

[Steo]

< wasn't even paying attention to that but wow time flies!

[Greengoop]

< thought it was today

[The Jonster]

< just realized tomorrow is RPC's twentieth birthday!

How many hours is it til then? < can’t believe it’s been 20 years now!

[Greengoop]

< Wishes this site a happy 20th Birthday!

[Hunchman801]

< has just published the customary birthday topic.

[Greengoop]

< has posted on ^’s new topic
< just realised he forgot to include an “<“ on his previous post
<is just about to fix

[Fifo]

< still can’t believe < has so many tings. <’s thankful to everyone, including the Jonster.

[The Jonster]

< says it's no problem it's the least < can do for ^.

<'s going to Austin tomorrow, and < still hasn't decided on a plan after <'s sister's interview. < wishes < wasn't so indecisive when it comes to food, even if it was just picking a freaking restaurant.

[Greengoop]

< just ranked up

< noticed this sudden drop of activity here…

[Steo]

< is always just happy to have enough for the Globox rank.

[Greengoop]

< is glad people are satisfied with their rank

< is saving up tings for the rayman 1 rayman rank

[Steo]

< would like a green Globox rank, but that wasn't eligible as a rank since it's not really from the game.

[Greengoop]

< would definitely wear the green globox rank, as I am GREENgoop after all

[The Jonster]

Now < is wondering if < could get a Jade (from BGE ofc) rank for Record Day.

[Greengoop]

Big green egg???

< wants to know more about these special ranks appearing on record day

[The Jonster]

No, < says it stands for 'Beyond Good & Evil'. But ofc if ^ is interested Plum could tell you more about that!

As for those ranks, well ^ will have to wait and see.
