The Intelligence Quotient, a way of measuring your score on a test based on score percentile among the population.

Do you expect me to magically know the age of every person I interact with? All this happens because I help newbies try to understand basic game functions and how to play in the server, until it turns out that some of them are clingy or whiney (I know it sounds harsh but it’s true), or lack vision of what they want to do in a sandbox game, and are most likely children, hence why I want to avoid them. But if you really want to play this game, then I’ll say that maybe you have never had a child feel safe around you, that’s why you can’t fathom the possibility of a child following you around.

How is it confusing?

The server is Your Land! You may need to learn a lot at the beginning though, the logic of the world as it has lots of mods, how to deal with the world (the wilderness and nether is way more dangerous than it is Minecraft). You can also pretty much live in the city if you want (and there are multiple!) but of course you get more freedom with builds in the wilderness. There are also events where a mysterious entity calls “Voice” attacks by sending troops in places, but it’s up to you to join those. There are roleplay elements and some people write events in the server like it’s part of some story (esp. with Voice attacks). There is a library for it. I’ve always been looking for sandbox MMORPGs in this level for years so I can’t “play other games” like some other people are recommending when I just found something like it.

Sometimes Pure Wilderness Survival gets old after a while.

I see, you’re right and this sounds reasonable. Thank you a lot!

I tried saying I was busy doing something, but after a while they would ask if I wasn’t busy anymore. Eventually after doing it a couple of times it feels like I’m being mean.

I’m somewhat of a nondualist, and I think our consciousness is basically like a peak of a wave in a sea. Once you return back to the sea your consciousness becomes part of the next forming wave. Kind of like reincarnation. But I am not sure if we can remember things from a past life, memories seem to be stored in the physical brain or something like that.

If you’ve read more of my post or even the title, you’d know that children being in games aren’t my problem. When I was a child I didn’t act this way to other people in servers, I have always been independent, so I don’t know how to deal with clingy children like those. Also the game is not exactly Minecraft.

Almost every game seems to have kid players unless if they’re R-Rated, and even that isn’t enough sometimes. I don’t think shooter games like COD is E-Rated.

The server I’m playing in is not really a 1:1 Minecraft clone, tbh. I guess the best way to describe Luanti (formerly Minetest) nowadays is “voxel-game engine”.

I am waiting for the LLMs to downsize actually. Some people use the hundred billion parameter models for something they could do with that, 14B? Especially the roleplay types

Small and Free Local LLMs getting better may also drive the popping of the bubble. In fact some people use the Commercial Frontier AI Models for the simplest thing, and if there’s one thing I learned AI uses the same resources for the simplest and hardest questions.

Man, I’m pretty sure Local LLMs getting better and more efficient would be one of the reasons why the bubble’s gonna burst. It’s still very technical, though.

It’s not the best and I’m not sure if they’re good but I use FotoGrid and Sketchbook. I also use noads.libredns.gr so that I wouldn’t be bombarded with ads on mobile, especially for FotoGrid.

I didn’t grow up on a PC, so I feel more comfortable editing images and making long-form content on a phone. I think it’s the social media on the phone that fucks me up

Well, you’re talking to one now!

Trains…?

kitty!
