this one time I had a huge 200 file folder full of ugly filenames i needed to be standardized to use in a script. Renaming them all manually was easily a 3 hour job at least. I described the end result name syntax i wanted and gave the full list of the current file names to an llm, and it gave me a powershell script that renamed every file for me perfectly in 2 minutes.

could i have coded that myself? sure. but then I'd be deciding between "three hours making a complicated file renaming script or 3 hours or manually renaming 200 files for 3 hours". The llm solved my problem for me and allowed me to continue with my actual work rather than wasting time doing data entry.

is this stupid npc behavior? if it is then it sure seems like only npc idiots like saving time.

    hey so I'm feeling really strange about posting this because I for some reason have the idea in my head that if I share things I create and put them out there then I'm being annoying and forcing it on people so I'm just going to try to type this quick and hit send

    I put together a huge library of ~13000-ish vintage games on over 40 different systems, and playing them at random. I'm not the best gamer, but I'm good enough (I'm in my 30s so I've at least played my fair share), to get a taste of the games and check them out. I really get into looking at all the forgotten pixel art these games contain and just being blown away by how many cool experiences that have been forgotten. I stream retro games at least once a week, so if something like this sounds interesting to you or anyone you know, please check me out! i'm not in it to make money i'll never beg for donations or anything like that, i am a content old fart who just wants to hang out and game.

    thanks!

    oh ya if youtube is more your style i dual stream there and keep my vod archive @crustyoldhuman cheers

    edit: i can't figure out how to make my post link direct to my twitch and post my thumbnail for the retro streams, if my post is wrong please delete it and i'll try again i am just confused about this web form. i tried to delete my mistake posts myself but they still appear to be there, i never use lemmy on the web and am very confused vs the Voyager app
