I was forced to do this as a developer of Flash websites in the early 00's.

I loved making custom progress bars really fun so people didn't mind watching the huge sites download.

I HATED when they had me mess with the time so that it got to 90% really fast and then spent AGES finishing the last 10%.


We all know the Microsoft progress bars reached 99% easily and had an infinite last % in the '90s. I'm still not convinced that was by accident.


Zeno’s progress bar.


By the same logic we could say that there is no safe off-ramp from any diet or exercise protocol.

When the treatment is ceased, the benefits go away.


Just for fun, I would love to power my Game Boy with a little tiny gas powered engine.





Couldn't you make the same argument that any of us on this forum using more than 1 monitor at our desk, doesn't really understand the benefits of our technology and are using our monitors like 19th century chalk boards?


Why would someone ever make this?


You can still spend the money. But you don't need to show off in front of the people you are stealing the money from.

There are a bunch of accounting firms, law firms, and consulting agencies that don't allow their employees to wear super expensive clothing, jewelry or drive luxury cars in front of their clients. And they aren't even doing anything illegal.


This joke made my day.


Any chance you will add the ability to upload images into your character creator?


Yeah we should support that soon. What did you have in mind?


I've already spent HOURS in Midjourney generating hundreds of images just to get the perfect cyborg robot elf. I just want to use that work and upload the best of those images into the character creator, rather than hoping the prompt gets me something close to the character I want and waiting 20 minutes to find out.



I don't understand why someone would make this?
