For my worldbuilding and writing to take off. I want to animate the history of my world, and it's something I want to do full time, but it's a lot of money + time investment. Also live somewhere that I'm not constantly looking over my shoulder. Shit neighbors suck.

They couldn't just shoot them? Use some sort of gas instead of raising the temperature? Literally no point in doing all that.

What are the implications of a cashless society? The only thing that comes to mind are increased government tracking and no way to buy things should computers / power go down.

I liked it. Not much happens story wise but I love exploring the lore and stuff of Pandora.

Thanks I'll check it out.

 

All of my experience with worldbuilding are medieval-esque worlds pre-gunpowder era. However, now I find myself making a game set in a fictional solar system. Aside from the general layout of the system, the size and names of planets, and the reasons for the various factions fighting for control of it, I'm kind of stuck.

I've never designed an entirely new life form before, and now I have to populate four different habitable planets. How do I design a fictional world without it being a total ripoff of star wars?

 

I haven't focused on culture as I should have. I'm curious about things like festivals, rites of passage, religious ceremonies, etc etc.

Never heard of Lemmy or the Fediverse until recent times.

The AMA has led some subreddits to not only go private early, but to also state that it would be indefinite until there were changes. /r/videos is the biggest one I know. So we'll probably have another wave if it gets bad enough / there is admin intervention.

Been on reddit for almost a decade. Watched it fall from a great website to the current day shithole. I'm relieved actually.

See that "A:"?. He edited it out of his comment. Copying / pasting canned "answers".

Looks like it's been here for a while (worldbuilding), just isn't that active.

[–] Sowatee@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 year ago

I pretty much do the same thing as you lol. I absolutely suck with names. Don't really care if chatgpt gets it wrong, as long as it looks/sounds good to me, that's all that really matters.

Windows because my favorite games don't work on it and neither does any of Adobe's apps.
I'm thinking about buying a used mac because I'll need it for crossplatform testing of apps.

 

I rent so I cannot set up a wired system. I need two of them and preferably they'd be okay in severe weather. Thunderstorms are common in spring / autumn as is severe weather including tornadoes. In fact my house nearly got hit by one two months ago. Fun times. Summers are hot and sometimes humid. Currently 90s. Triple digits probably late this month or next.

We don't typically get snow in the winter but it can get cold. Reached zero degrees last December. Supposed to be "rare" but climate is changing and whatnot.

Would prefer to keep it under $300 for both cameras but I'm willing to bump it up a little for better quality if necessary.
