First is a Pokemon-type game engine in Godot. I've got a decent framework for the battlesystem but am stuck on how to implement the data (Pokemon stats, move stats, etc) so that it isn't easily modified during runtime. I originally had everything stuffed into a const dictionary but it turns out that in Godot, calling a dictionary const is really just a suggestion. Now each mon has its own .gd file with the various variables declared as const, but that's a bit cumbersome.
The other one is a webpage that plays embedded Youtube videos on a semi-random schedule. It's like a fake TV channel, playing different topics each hour, even with fake commercial breaks/bumpers. The problem is in storing and fetching video info. I'd love to have an SQL-like setup where it takes a database or a table for that hour's topic, pulls out all the IDs where mood matches this, length is between this and this, etc... Problem is, the page is necessarily in javascript, and javascript apparently doesn't play well with databases and SQL.
Additionally I've been using node.js to get video info for batches of youtube IDs and am having a very fun time because I don't actually know how node works. how do i wait to do an action until i'm done running an async function on the entries in an array lmao -

Comment on What is a lesser known, yet interesting, internet rabbit hole you've stumbled upon? in ~tech
sheepishly LinkI have a whole collection of little internet rabbitholes that I'm trying to decide on a good format to cover. Maybe a blog, maybe an Odysee/Youtube channel. Unironically the thing I'll miss most...I have a whole collection of little internet rabbitholes that I'm trying to decide on a good format to cover. Maybe a blog, maybe an Odysee/Youtube channel. Unironically the thing I'll miss most about Reddit once it goes down in flames is the just straight up weird posts you'd find sometimes, though that's already kind of tapered off in recent years. Anyway, here's a couple:
The Korraflir/TRSA/Heatherwesthill/00000p rabbithole- This post mostly covers a later half of the... whatever this was. Before that there were a lot of other weird posts by Korra and Heather. Hard to tell if it's a troll, a crazy person, someone trying to start and ARG or all three.
SierraGolf5, Zulutango4, Cynthiafortune- Twitter accounts themed after number stations that... post numbers. You know, like a number station, but on twitter. They go inactive on and off and only Zulu seems to be active right now.
DemeterofNew- guy discovers creepy recording of a woman crying/screaming in the depths of his voicemail inbox. Huge argument over whether it's legit or not. The audio itself is now lost, with only a snippet available from a video covering the story.
The one thing I'd really like out of AI is voice acting, where you can adjust the parameters for like, I want a timid masculine voice, I want a sultry female voice, etc. The character-based stuff that exists isn't too bad but it's difficult to find fitting voices for original characters. Heck, even just classifying what exists like that would be helpful.
