[TOMT] Old Sega (I guess) game, desert/island level, then a template level with blue boss that moves across the whole screen

Not gonna lie, this one’s been living rent free in my head for actual years now. I think it was on Sega and the game is probably between 1985 and 1995 or something similar.

From what I remember, you go through a level that’s a desert or something similar, then the next level is like a temple. There’s a boss there and this is where my memory gets really fuzzy. Im not sure but I think it was a blue woman? She shot these little discs or circles at you and you had to dodge them. She also moved across the entire screen, like she wasn’t stationary.

I’ve been thinking about this game for years and at some point I started remembering the boss maybe being on some kind of vehicle or even a skateboard? Not 100% sure if that’s real memory or my brain just filling in gaps at this point lol.

I know it’s not much to go on but if anyone’s played something like this please let me know, it’s driving me insane.

My wife (28F) won’t help maintain the house, and if I (28M) don’t clean for one evening, the house becomes unusable, how can I resolve the issue?

Hello, I (28m) have wife (28f) and toddler(18 months). I'm usually with our child every morning because my wife works in the morning from 6 to 12. After she comes home from work (she doesn't work from home), I go to work in my room (I work from home).

As you can see in the pictures (imgbb - image 1, image 2, image 3, image 4, image 5, image 6) unfortunately if I don't clean the apartment, the next day there will be a dump in the apartment. The pictures show only the living room and the kitchen, but the same applies to the bedroom and the bathroom, as well as to the garbage disposal and generally everything related to the cleaning of the house.

I tried many times to talk to her about this problem because it is incomprehensible to me that someone behaves like this and I honestly feel like a slave in my own life, but there was no progress even after a single conversation.

These pictures were created when I went to pick up some goods in another city yesterday (I am a business owner) and after an exhausting trip I came home and I was too tired and could not clean the house.

And that is unfortunately a painful fact. Instead of chilling for two hours before going to bed after a day where I take care of the child half the day and the business other half the day, I find myself in a situation where I have to prepare the whole apartment for 2 hours EVERY night if I don't want my apartment to look like a dump tomorrow morning.

She doesn't really care, she doesn't work from home, she gets up in the morning and immediately goes to work, and when she comes back from work, she just eats (mostly what I cook), takes the child and goes for a walk, to the park, to a cafe, to her parents, etc. And on the other hand, I am at home with the child in the morning, I prepare her to eat, I prepare lunch for myself and my wife, I play with the child in the house, etc. When the wife comes and when they go somewhere, I'm at home again because I work from home and I use the bathroom, and even the kitchen to eat or the living room to rest. And if the house is a mess (and it always is if I don't spend 2 hours every night cleaning the house), I'm simply stressed all day because I literally have nowhere to sit in the house and I can’t do activities I normally do.

As I already said, I stopped believing that the talk can help here. Is there any other way to let her know that I can't function and live like this?

Zasto su danasnji automobili preruzni?

Znaci izgled danasnjih automobila kao da su se deca od 5 godina igrala dizajna. I svaki auto isti, vec deceniju i vise ne postoji unikatan dizajn automobila. Kao neko kome je dizajn automobila pored osecaja voznje najbitniji, ne bih bio vlasnik novih auta ni da mi ih neko za dzabe da koliko su ruzni. Kako je trziste uopste doslo do toga?

From s4 finale (nije spojler)

Bicu konkretan - pisci pojma nemaju sta rade niti kako da se izvuku iz sranja koje razvlace vec sezonama. Sa nogu mogu da nabrojim 50 stvari koje su u nekim delovima serije bile IZUZETNO vazne i bitne, da bi ostale neresene a i zaboravljene par epizoda kasnije. I kroz celu seriju se vuce ista stvar i prozima isti osecaj.

Poslednja epizoda u sezoni 4 je odlicna epizoda. Primer odlicne epizode, sigurno da bih dao ocenu 8 ili cak 9 za konkretno tu epizodu… da se nalazi pre finala. Ili na sredini sezone. Odlicna epizoda, ali nikako nije za finalnu. Umesto da je ovo bio build up za nesto vise, pisci su protracili nekoliko poslednjih epizoda u teskim filercinama i, po ko zna koj put, fejlovali da naprave pravi progres u seriji. Bukvalno da sam pogledao prvu epizodu u cetvrtoj sezoni i poslednjih 5 minuta u poslednjoj epizodi ne bih nista propustio jer je ostatak filer.

I svaka epizoda je ista. 40 minuta katastrofalnog dijaloga i onda 5 minuta nekog progresa cisto da te zaintrigira da iscekujes sledecu epizodu. I tako iznova i iznova.

From je serija koja je mogla biti genijalna. Koncept je savrsen, radnja je savrsena, svet je savrsen. To je razlog zasto i gledam seriju. Jer se potajno nadam da ce se nesto desiti, da ce konacno poceti pravi progres da se desava. Medjutim pisci se bas trude losim pisanjem da to sve anuliraju.

Gledacu i tu 5 sezonu ali iskreno nemam nikakva ocekivanja i ne verujem im da mogu da daju odgovor na sva pitanja koja su kreirali. Mislim da nam nece dati odgovor ni na 10% toga. Nadam se samo da ce postojati progres u toj petoj sezoni. Pa nek i bude osrednje ili lose, samo da ne bude filer kao sada.

Oce li se ikad promeniti polupan porez na luksuz kroz kubikazu???

Ne mogu da verujem ds prolazi skoro 30 godina od kada je ona spodoba od Seselja uvela famozni porez na luksuz prilikom registracije vozila pod izgovorom da se te pare preusmere u vojsku. Evo vec 30 godina se krade od naroda sakom i kapom. I ne samo to, nego je trzisne starijih auta sa vecom kubikazom totalno unisteno nepovratno.

Ja 328 bmw star 30 godina moram da platim skoro 70.000 din da registrujem. Kako moze biti realno da je za auto koje ima 190 konja i vredi realno 4-5000€ je potrebno 70.000 din za registraciju, a sa druge strane danasnja vozila od 300 konja i 50.000€ kostaju 300€ da se registruju samo zato sto su male kubikaze. Kakve su ovo vise nebuloze koje traju 30 godina? Da ne pricam o M3, preko 1000€ registracija. A ne daj boze da je malo noviji pa nemas ni olaksice famoznog “poreza na luksuz”. Najlaganije imamo slucajeve gde je vrednost auta manja od 10.000€ a registracija 2000€.

I sad smo dosli u situaciju gde bukvalno ne postoji trziste takvih automobila sa takvim motorima. I ne moze niko na svetu da me ubedi da ne bi vise para sklepali u budzet gledajuci vrednost auta.

I earn 5 times the average salary by scams and steals

I earn 5 times the average salary in my place by creating scams and stealing products from foreign companies and that's how I earn a living. I do have a guilty but at the same time, for the first time I feel that I am worth something in life and that my work is recognized.

Need help choosing between these Itachi tattoo variations for a patchwork sleeve

A while ago I came across the original Itachi kunai drawing (last uploaded image) here on Reddit and I absolutely loved the concept. The problem is that my existing tattoos are more in a traditional/blackwork direction, so I felt the original design did not fit perfectly with the rest of my arm.

Because of that I experimented with a few different versions of the design. I used some tools online to reinterpret the original drawing into something that sits somewhere between traditional and neo-traditional while still keeping the overall concept intact.

I uploaded several different images here so you guys can help me find the best option. Personally, after trying a lot of different modifications, I keep coming back to the first two versions without any added background and without any added elements at all. They feel the cleanest and probably fit a patchwork sleeve the best. Am I right? Also, I am not sure if I should choose option with only the eye and blood in red with everything else blackwork or should I have more red accents as in the first image?

Thanks for your input!

Da li ovde ima pocetnika tattoo majstora koji bi hteli da me istetoviraju?

Pozdrav, imam jedam poveci deo za tetoviranje iznad kolena na butini (otprilike nekih 30% butine je istetovirano ali sada zelim celu butinu da doradim sa svih strana) pa sa obzirom da tetovaza nije toliko vidljiva svakodnevno, resio sam da dam priliku nekom novom tattoo majstoru da me tetovira a uz to i dobije veci rad za portfolio. U pitanju je uklapanje vec postojece tetovaze u novi dizajn. Stil realistika jer je tetovaza koju vec imam na tom predelu realistika.

Ako vi tetovirate ili znate nekog ko tetovira a da mu trebaju radovi za portfolio, javite se pa cemo se dogovoriti. Na jesen bih se tetovirao. Iz Novog Sada sam ali sve u krugu od 100km dolazi u obzir, mogu doci i u Beograd.

Naravno, ne trazim neko besplatno da me tetovira, platio bih punu cenu po cenovniku tog tattoo majstora. Voleo bih samo da ucinim nekom kome trebaju radovi jer ovo moze biti bas vrhunski pre/posle rad.

Jedini uslov koji imam je da koristimo kvalitetne/premium boje. Kod svih tetovaza koje imam su koriscene premium boje i neke tetovaze nisu pocee da blede/zelene ni posle vise od 10 godina, tako da mi je ovo jedina bitna stavka.

Mozete se javiti porukom pa da vidim dosadasnje vase radove.

Koje vam stvari povecavaju kvalitet zivota?

Pozz, dosao sam do para i evo vec mesecima i mesecima zaradjujem mnogo vise nego sto trosim. Inace nisam neko ko se bahati, ne volim da kupujem skupe stvari i slicno i ne vidim poentu da tu trosim pare.

Ali kapiram da nije losa stvar da malo unapredim kvalitet svog zivota uz pomoc njih.

Sta je to sto vi mozete kupiti parama a da vam povecava kvalitet zivota? Ili nesto sto vam je skupo da redovno radite, a ponekad kad uradite bude bas super. Mozda neko napise neku kul ideju koja ce me inspirisati.

Molim bez preporuka za putovanja ili bilo kakvo ulaganje tog novca. I za jedno i za drugo imam drugi fond.

Having a child made me realize how insane modern work culture actually is

Every time I open LinkedIn and see people bragging about waking up at 5 AM just to sit in traffic and spend their entire day making a company richer and i honestly feel like I escaped something.

The older I get, the more insane modern work culture looks to me. People barely see their families, answer work messages during dinner, spend Sunday evenings depressed because Monday is coming, and somehow this is treated like a respectable adult life. And if you complain, people look at you like YOU are the crazy one.

A few years ago I realized I was heading toward that exact life and it scared the shit out of me. Not because of hard work - I can work hard. I still do. But because I saw this future where my entire existence becomes alarms, commuting, fake office conversations, waiting for weekends, asking permission to be alive for 2 weeks per year.

So I took the risk and started building something for myself online. I will admit. It was shit in the beginning. A lot of stress. Some nights I genuinely thought I ruined my future and should’ve just stayed “safe” like everyone told me to.

But now? My god, I can finally say those words. I did it. I work from home, for myself. Some days I work a lot. Some days I barely work. If I want to stop working in the middle of the day and go spend time with my family, nobody can tell me no.

And the best part is not the money. Not even close. The best part is my daughter.

She’s 1.5 years old and I’ve basically watched her entire childhood happen in real time instead of in tiny exhausted fragments after work. I was THERE for all the little shit people don’t think about. Random dancing in the living room. Middle of the day cuddles. Her laughing at absolutely nothing. Watching her slowly become her own little person. Those moments sound small until you realize that IS your life.

That’s the part I think corporate culture quietly steals from people. Not just time but the presence.

One day your kid is suddenly older and your strongest memories are fluorescent lights, Slack notifications, meetings about meetings, and sitting in traffic wondering where the years went. And deep down I think most people know this. I think that’s why so many people romanticize burnout and “grind culture” so aggressively. Because admitting the truth would hurt too much.

I’m not some millionaire. I’m not retired on a yacht somewhere. I probably would never be simply because that is not my goal.

But tomorrow I’m gonna wake up naturally, drink coffee in my own house, hear my daughter laughing in the other room while I work on my own business, and no manager on earth has control over my day. And if I want to decide I’m gonna stop working - I will do it.

That honestly feels like beating the game.

Preporuka knjige osobi koja je poslednji put citala u 5 razredu osnovne skole

Tj meni. Salim se, nisam poslednji put procitao knjigu bas u petom razredu ali nemam naviku da citam i sigurno da sam propustio knjige zlata vredne.

Ove godine nisam citao ni jednu knjigu, a prosle godine sam citao Meditacije od Marka Aurelija i Orvelovu 1984. Procitam tako mozda knjigu godisnje i to ako je dobra godina. Cesto ne procitam ni jednu. Ali voleo bih to da promenim.

Ovako generalno volim da filozofiram o raznim temama tako da kontam da bi mi se svideli razliciti zanrovi. Ne mora to da bude neki sci-fi samo da bi mi bilo maksimalno zanimljivo. Cak preferiram da nije sci-fi, ali ne iskljucujem ni to.

Trazim knjige koje ce da me oduvaju sa razmisljanjem o njoj i o temi koju obradjuju. Sve preporuke su dobrodosle.

Been thinking about this a lot lately.

GTA 6 took way over 10 years to make. A massive chunk of that time and budget went into making it look incredible. And it will probably look incredible. But when I compare it to GTA V, my brain doesn’t have the same reaction it did going from GTA 2 to GTA 3 or from GTA 3 to GTA 4 on native resolutions. The wow factor is shrinking with each generation and I think we’re approaching a wall.

4K is standard as normal viewing distances for most people. 8K monitors exist and nobody cares. Ray tracing doubles your GPU requirements for marginally better shadows. And what comes after 8K? 16K? At some point the human eye literally cannot tell the difference.

So where does all that freed-up budget and talent go when the resolution race is finally dead? My bet is on two things:

  1. AI-driven NPC-s. Imagine a gta-style world where every character actually remembers you, has real routines that evolve, and you can have a genuine conversation with. Not a chatgpt wrapper slapped on top, but deeply simulated lives. That changes gaming on a fundamental level.

  2. Neural rendering / AI upscaling. DLSS and FSR are just the beginning. The logical endpoint is your GPU rendering maybe 30% of actual pixels and AI reconstructing the rest indistinguishably. Same visual quality, fraction of the hardware cost. This could democratize high-end gaming completely.

The irony is that indie games have been proving this point for years. They couldn’t compete graphically so they had to innovate elsewhere and those “elsewhere” innovations are what people actually remember and love. AAA studios are going to have to follow eventually.

What do you guys think? Is the graphics ceiling a good thing for the industry? And what do you think the next real leap in gaming actually looks like?
