My experiences that suggest an intelligent force exists

I had another example of hubris that resulted in disappointment.... but I just had a security scare and I promised myself not to mention the other example.

Also recently I was promoting one of my sites that had a connection with my Instagram account and I noticed on Google that it was showing my real name for the Instagram account. When I went to Instagram I couldn't stop it showing my real name - though it gave me the option of changing my name on Facebook. I tried everything I could and ended up removing my posts and changing my username to a silly one.

This reminded me of:

Life Is a Video Game—Here Are the Cheat Codes

Welcome, Player One, to a strategy guide for the game known as Life.

As you’ve undoubtedly discovered, the game of Life is often quite difficult. You will face unexpected challenges and long periods of frustration. You will often struggle with self-doubt, feel overwhelmed by helplessness and loss
....There are five levels in life:
Level 1 – Find food; find a bed to sleep in at night
Level 2 – Know you’re not going to die
Level 3 – Find your people
Level 4 – Do something that’s important and valuable to both yourself and others
Level 5 – Create a legacy

This is my plan for my legacy:

Brutal Bible Blood Baths

A game exploring epic Bible massacres where you are a killer who is approved by God

If at any point, Life runs out of problems to give us, then as players, we will unconsciously invent problems for ourselves

That has happened when I've had manic episodes....

When I was programming 30 hrs/week I learnt about Amazon Web Services and the Linux command line. Because of that I am able to have as many websites as I want for about US$5.60 per month for hosting. I also learnt about using Cloudflare for free easy to setup security certificates. If I hadn't had quit I wouldn't have done the "Playcentric Game Design" subject. Normally you had to create a board game or card game. Because of COVID I had the option of making a digital game (because it is difficult to test the board and card games during the lockdowns). I made a prototype using Scratch:

I said to "God" that if I don't get a high distinction I'll probably make a proper version of it - otherwise I definitely would.... and I got 85.26% overall! I'm planning on making it look like Minecraft except there'd be a lot of blood and gore.... BTW in the Christian store Koorong there are 11 Bible and Minecraft related books:

It's still my wedding anniversary day.... I just came across an AI that can generate 3D based on text... this would be very handy in making future simulations/games...

DreamFusion: Text-to-3D using 2D Diffusion

DreamFusion: Text-to-3D using 2D Diffusion, 2022.

By a coincidence my best friend from high school is working on AI-based design for his PhD thesis - though he wasn't aware of this technology...
Also a couple of weeks ago Google and Meta (Facebook) AI was announced that can generate realistic videos from text:

AI can now create videos. What happens when we can't tell if they're real or not?

Both Meta and Google have showed off DALL-E but for video — text-to-video AI models that can create photorealistic, coherent videos.

Even though my dreams are coming true I think I'm fairly safe from becoming psychotic because of my belief in a non-obvious God:

God and the Bible - Life's Player

Is the Bible 100% true and moral? Does the supernatural exist?
