I mean some of it's going to be funny, because all these smug pricks who have main character syndrome and thought they were going to be immune are going to get laid off hard. I do feel sorry for the ones that are just trying to do the right thing though. So many of them are going to be out of the office with cardboard boxes and potentially homeless because they got a mortgage on a house well beyond their means. They got lied to hard about university in particular and a lot of them know it I think, it's the smug ones that are going to be hit hardest because they still cling to I have a university degree superiority.

It's going to be like what everyone saw in the 2008 sup-prime mortgage crisis but infinitely worse because people have been jacking up credit on everything now.

To go on a mini-tangent Christmas has made me realise just how unbelievably out of touch normies are about the state of the economy. On the flip side, it makes me realise how ahead of the curve I am.

Job security is non-existent, you either live it yourself being one of the unlucky ones or you study the economy and can see it unfolding before your eyes how pointless it all is. The days of getting a 9 to 5 and thinking you're going to be able to pay off a mortgage with just that are fucking gone nevermind the bills on top of it.

The normies don't get it at all and think that anybody who tries to work outside that system is just an unemployed NEET loser and doesn't understand the concept of freelance work, remote work or projects etc. or the fact that the internet is an amazing educational resource in the right hands.

Right or left, they do this larp about being progressive and open minded but a good chunk of them are some of the most close minded tradition obsessed people around and they sneer at anyone different. Universities are a classic example where they think you have to be like them and get 80k - 100k in debt to get anywhere in life. If you don't do the same thing as them it's like they're out on a mission to try and make your life miserable with lecturing.

They have no idea how wrong they're going to be. No one who actually values themselves and has the skill is going to work for some psychopath until they're 60 only to be fired before they can collect their pension and help the CEO buy their 4th Lamborghini.

TLDR: Red pilled people don't understand that they're about 10 - 15 years ahead of the game. Prepare accordingly for the mother of all financial crashes because there are tons of people who seriously believe it won't happen.

Never let family members buy you tech for presents, I actually don't know what a wifi repeater is and it sounds suspicious lol.

Edit: Looked it up, I tend not to bother with wi-fi at home, I had my house properly wired up with Ethernet.

Nah, just in typical fashion the south in the UK is fucking expensive when it comes to anything. Then there's the issue of getting there on top of it all, very annoying. I'd much rather do a connection flight to some hub in the EU than deal with the crap of London Heathrow or Gatwick.

The price of a train ticket to London alone is retarded.

I like doing lots of planning sometimes for the future and one of the things I've done is devised a route out of the UK to Asia generally. Best part about it is I can completely avoid London which I hate, also ends up saving me money generally.

I do think you're at least correct about the party system being switched up big time. I've just seen some results from a couple of by-elections and I think this is the real reason they're lashing out. Early general election? I'm very mixed, I think if may is extremely bad they might well get desperate.

Could well be wishful thinking on my part, I can't stand dealing with this right now. Maybe, maybe if it's catastrophically bad they'll get rid of him. However I think a far more likely scenario is they're that batshit insane they may end up just cancelling everything altogether.

I do mean of course going full stasi because the British population keeps proving they will put up with whatever and cuck themselves at every opportunity.

Either way, social media bans are retarded, governments trying to be parents and boomers waking up one morning thinking they can police the internet.

That's all down to parenting, this is nothing more than an attempted doxxing operation. It's quite clever in a way because like a lot of this online shit it's the "Think of the children" meme and it works. This is about as useful as going "Let's ban video games for under 16's" and then they're handing them tablets and phones to go zombie over and wondering why it doesn't work.

Think about it, why do you think they want you to upload your personal ID in order to get verified? Just another case of mommy and daddy can't be bothered so let's have the government do it instead.

I truly hate my country these days this is why I think even if Nigel Farage gets in the population is going to cuck itself. Also it's absolutely because they're trying to stop teenagers from being red pilled by Andrew Tate. This is boomers desperately trying to get a handle on the zoomer generation, they're scared of them being too right wing.

Unless you're just looking to make some sprite based RPG shovelware RPG maker is terrible for games development. Pick an engine or use Raylib I guarantee you'll have a much better experience.

I suspect you'll probably find Raylib way more rewarding if you're just doing this for fun it's so much more versatile.

Unless you're going to tell me you're autistic as fuck and have decided to do this anyway why would you hurt yourself trying to develop video games in Javascript? There's a reason people are abandoning that language left and right these days.

I am somebody with a fair bit of experience developing video games so you can ask me about this lol. Also I would not recommend at all necessarily writing something from scratch either, that creates extra headaches and all you're doing is re-inventing the wheel.

Why not use something like Raylib instead?
