error drift is serious. it's usually 95% accurate, and if you continue to run it over and over again the errors compound and it becomes unmanageable.

ai coding is best used in small chunks, where the complexity is managed to one task at a time. projects of massive complexity tend to fail quickly. it ends up generating code that theoretically should work but somehow doesn't. it'll make you think you discovered some sort of million dollar idea and then you'll realize the code has no soul and it's a different kind of existential dread.

ai is seriously effective at brainstorming and innovative thinking. it can provide quick estimates on pros and cons of coding solutions and point out bottlenecks well. sounds goofy but its all about asking the right questions, and then it becomes incredibly helpful.

beware! use it too much and you'll legitimately forget how to code

Off Topic / Jack and Casie prototypes/discord access or info request

« on: December 25, 2025, 06:07:26 PM »

EDIT: thanks to conan for the leads, i also found the armor prototype https://shoutscion.itch.io/jack-and-casie-armor-prototype
the legal/IP question still stands

this is for all relevant parties with information. i'm seeking out bushido's jack and casie prototype (ideally the most recent ones posted on the discord before its hiatus and his death). last i remember the most recent prototype was the 'armor update prototype' which im not sure matches the itch.io prototype release.

i left the backer discord years ago around the hiatus and since then there's no way to realistically rejoin. im not sure what happened to that end. i don't even know if it's still up anymore, but there are approximately 150+ people who did. i'm curious if anyone here is part of this group or still has direct access and is interested in sharing what they know or have that's still operational

my personal stake is that i'm vaguely interested in recreating or reviving the project not-for-profit. the recent prototypes had a lot of unique assets that aren't present in the original prototypes. it would be ideal to locate the last stable release to match the design and intended features that bushido was focused on around the hiatus timeframe.

side quest: i'm also looking for who is the current copyright holder of alex sian's intellectual property (including jack and casie). i'm assuming its his direct family but they are unreachable. if anyone knows this (its a stretch) i'm also curious to hear about it. i want to contact them so i do not infringe on the copyright or license. cannot find any real information, even in bushido's home state (texas)

'world' war implies the majority of the countries in the world are directly involved. in this current conflict there's like... 3-5 countries engaging in active hostilities. there's also more than 6 ongoing wars around the planet.

this is like the 150th war in the last century. what makes this one different or unique? the involvement of nuclear facilities, perhaps?

What do you mean by this, regarding the topic?

disabilities require hard work and creativity to overcome. the average person wouldn't be put in such a position where they are required to compensate heavily for their limitations. a disability allows you to put more focus in honing other skills that you can be good at.

i'm against 'curing' disabilities unless the disability severely impacts someone's quality of life or causes immense pain. everyone deserves to love themselves and their strengths and weaknesses
