Pretty cool! I assume this also works if you're an English speaker? I'll definitely look further into this.

Less than 500 euros per drone, according to Reuters.

I was about to say that he was waving, but he actually stopped for a second during the salute. This guy is mental lol. If I'm not mistaken, there's no first amendment equivalent in Romania that he can get behind to justify this.

Is this artist involved with Obojima by any chance?

Try Western European countries, if it's not too far? For example, Netherlands has beautiful cities, and LGBTQ+ rights are currently pretty strong. However, there's always the chance you might run into a moron that feels attacked by other people's decisions :(

Wait until they learn that OpenAI does the exact same thing. Try to get advice on how to crack software and see how far you get.

Might be even cheaper if you wait a bit and build it yourself. Next gen GPUs are coming out, which will lead to some price cuts on the current gen.

However, like others here have mentioned, you're paying extra for them building it for you and warranty.

I don't know if ro.pcpartpicker.com works well for Romania, but you can also give that a try and see what the individual components would net you on the local market.

Building the computer yourself along with your kid could also be a nice opportunity to teach him (and maybe yourself, if you're not that knowledgeable) about the underlying components.

Hmm, very interesting! This could definitely go further into the first scenario. Perhaps the summoner is now a "puppet" for the entity, and is trying to trick the more resilient player characters to succumb to the entity's control. Perhaps the first ritual weeded off the weaker candidates, and now the entity is preparing to give them the full course.

I'm curious what you're going to go with :D

The go-to monkey paw scenario could work, where they receive immortality, but have to serve the summoned entity forever as deformed (and perhaps always hurting) "things"? However, that is maybe a bit too predictable. What if they mess up the spell and instead mark themselves for sacrifice?

They slowly realise this due to a symbol appearing on them, which could slowly spread further on their body (maybe hurting too). You could make it more interesting by pitting them against one another by suggesting that only a few have to die for the sacrifice to be complete. If their characters are not that close to one another, it could lead to some interesting decisions on their part, haha.

The process could span a week or more, where their body gets engulfed more and more by the mark. They could use this time to review what went wrong in the summoning process, and how to potentially reverse it. I'll leave those details to you, if you're interested in pursuing this idea :D

I'm really sorry to hear that. I hope you have enough support to deal with it!

Regarding bioinformatics, it doesn't have to be a human-centered job. You can get into the data science aspect of it, and make good money off of helping research diseases, for example. This could also be a remote job, and you'd probably have an easier time getting into it. For data science, you can get quite far with Python, which is easier to pick up when compared with other languages.

You can also explore your options further by just asking ChatGPT, and seeing what the potential job requirements would be. It's decent if you want to brainstorm some stuff, but do look up the information yourself on search engines. Write there your experience, what you'd want, and what to expect if you were to jump in that field. Perhaps this could help you decide better.

I wish you the best of luck!

If you already have medical knowledge, why not look into bioinformatics? Cyber security would be a pretty big jump if you're not into tweaking computers as a hobby. For example, have you ever set up Linux on your own?

Certifications will give you a starting point, but it will take years for all the information to settle properly in your mind.
