🃏・off-topic

[spare sierra]

Maybe self:juice()

Until that function call returns true, when the event is removed from the queue

[atomic arrow]

Ah you have multiple queues going on at the same time, right?

[terse basalt]

Timing

oh my

[atomic arrow]

I’m of a single track mind since I usually work with Python/Julia but also because I just wanted a simple example to work with

[terse basalt]

that can go really wrong really quickly

Also why is there lerping in the event queue

[spare sierra]

Timing is a huge part of Balatro and this system makes sense to me enough that I'm not fighting it all the time

[atomic arrow]

That’s why I was confused and I asked bout it

[terse basalt]

I hope you're not handling rendering stuff like joker shakes in the middle of the event processing

[atomic arrow]

Here

They linked a video maybe in response to it

[terse basalt]

But the game logic should be decoupled from the UI

At least mostly

[atomic arrow]

I’m still trying to understand when a Gold Card adds itself to the queue, which queue specifically, and how it goes in and out of the queue

[spare sierra]

Why?

I haven't had issues with that

[terse basalt]

So you don't screw one thing up when working on another

E.g. you should do the chip scoring in the background and then slowly display the results

[spare sierra]

Events don't draw anything to screen, but they can do whatever they want aside from that

[terse basalt]

See decoupling in The Pragmatic Programmer

Or really ask any professional about decoupling

[atomic arrow]

Unrelated, but I reckon the original Space Invaders’ difficulty curve was a result of there being less objects in memory/on screen which made it run faster

so as you hit invaders they descended faster

[terse basalt]

OW

[spare sierra]

If the game works and I enjoy using these systems I don't think it's an issue

[terse basalt]

they didn't even try to maintain a steady framerate
or did they just think "meh, we'll just abuse that"

[spare sierra]

As long as I supply a modding interface when that time comes

[atomic arrow]

I learned this supposed fact as a compliment towards the perfect balance of the game

[atomic arrow]

Insert xkcd about heating spacebar

[atomic arrow]

localthunk, could you share some insight for this question?

[terse basalt]

Of course if it doesn't matter if it doesn't bite you. Just know if it does bite you later you might have a really bad time

[terse basalt]

Does love2D support e.g. DLL loading?

natively I mean

[terse basalt]

end_round = []
class Gold(CardModifier):
    def __init__(self,card):
        super().__init__(card)
        end_round.append(self.activate)
    def on_card_leaves_hand(self,card):
        end_round.remove(self.activate)

maybe sth like that

[atomic arrow]

It’s hidden in there when it firsts enters the queue

Also, okay, Gold Cards are fine but there’s also Steel

Since Steel are per hand they need to go out of the queue when triggered

But they’re still in your hand

So they need to go back in

[spare sierra]

No not like that, it's hard to describe really because my event queue isn't an 'event' in typical terms

[atomic arrow]

In a way that doesn’t break the game

(Again my idea would be to have listeners, so the actual events can go in a queue or a stack if you’re a MTG player)

[spare sierra]

It's more of a timing queue than anything. So the cards instantly trigger effects, and when the effect triggers they add the timing thing onto the queue so you see it all in order. Sometimes it's submitted from the card itself, sometimes from some external scoring loop

[atomic arrow]

But how do they know how to trigger? I think that was my original question

[terse basalt]

class Steel(CardModifier):
    def __init__(self,card):
        super().__init__(card)
        end_turn.append(self.on_hand)
    def on_card_leaves_hand(self,card):
        if self.on_hand in end_turn: end_turn.remove(self.on_hand)
    def on_card_played(self,card):
        end_turn.remove(self.on_hand)
    def on_hand(self,hand):
        self.activate()
        end_turn.append(self.on_hand)

Note that on_hand is registered into end_turn

[atomic arrow]

end_urn

[terse basalt]

and it calls activate then re-registers itself when a hand is played

[terse basalt]

*fixed

wait

[atomic arrow]

Still there

Not anymore there’s a blanket

I think localthunk was talking about event resolution rather than triggering I think

But I was asking about how do they know when to trigger

[terse basalt]

Alternatively:

class Steel(CardModifier,CustomListAction):
    ...
    def on_leave(self,lis):
        if lis is end_turn:
            raise Refuse()

[spare sierra]

There's an external loop that asks every card possible what it contributes in order

[terse basalt]

that's very natural

I have no bad comments on that

[atomic arrow]

For every event?

[terse basalt]

def score_cards(hand):
    for card in hand:
        card.score()

[atomic arrow]

That’s something I would expect to be needlessly memory intensive, even if it’s easy

[spare sierra]

No before any events are added

[terse basalt]

And card.score adds events

[atomic arrow]

Sorry, we’re using different terminologies

[spare sierra]

Yes

[atomic arrow]

Maybe for every action is better

So does it iterate for every action?

[terse basalt]

when it

is time to process them

I guess

[atomic arrow]

I mean, if you know you’re only going to designs that respond to a specific action while in a specific place, you only need to check that place, but in principle you don’t know that before designing the game

Maybe a card could affect my scoring while in the deck

[terse basalt]

Then you prolly need to add code that asks every card in the deck if it wants to does something at the appropriate time

Or have a register_special_events

which is called in the card constructor

which adds evt handlers

[atomic arrow]

Hence why I was thinking with listeners and wondering when cards subscribe to listeners

[spare sierra]

If I play a high card, it asks:

• each played card what it contributes in terms of chips, mult, other effects
• each joker card what it contributes per played card (returns instantly if that joker isn't the type of joker that can)
• each card still in hand what it contributes, if anything
• each joker what it contributes for holo/foil edition, then effect, then Polychrome
  Etc

This doesn't have a lot of overhead

There aren't that many cards to check and the ones that don't contribute also return instantly

[atomic arrow]

Now I want to see how many cards does someone need to have in hand for this to take a long time

[terse basalt]

Maybe 200M+

Virtual calls are still insanely fast

[atomic arrow]

Virtual calls?

[terse basalt]

i.e. polymorphically dispatched calls

as opposed to static calls to fixed functions whose addresses are known beforehand at compile time

[atomic arrow]

You mean class methods?

[terse basalt]

Yeah, basically

in C++ it's more contrived because stackvars have static dispatch on everything but whatever

[atomic arrow]

I guess this maybe faster not in Python

[terse basalt]

In python a memfn call also incurs a hash map lookup

unless you have __slots__

[neon mantle]

I know the conversation was ushered here, but this very much seems like a #dev-talk kind of discussion

[atomic arrow]

Is that faster or slower

[terse basalt]

that's extra overhead

but even with THAT 5M+ in py is fine I think

[atomic arrow]

Also to note I was also thinking of doing it in Julia where you can have typed arguments

[terse basalt]

There's also Cython

but uhh

[atomic arrow]

I think it’s faster than Python but Idk how much it would be

[neon mantle]

@atomic arrow @terse basalt can you please take this to the #💻・dev-talk channel? Great place to talk shop about coding practices

[terse basalt]

Isn't that for just THIS game dev only

@bleak mauve
You can make novel things with AI art, but many bad actors don't. The demand for things like anime-esque art for things like mobile games is going down because the game developers can get good enough quality assets (for a mobile game) at much lower cost with AI.

[civic niche]

i have made so many suggestions in facehand discord. 😅

[bleak mauve]

Yeah, jobs will die out as a result of AI, that's how it tends to go when a new tech revolution happens. I don't think that's due to malice, commissioning art is expensive and if it's cheaper to use AI then that's a good thing!

[atomic arrow]

I think the bigger issue is with the economic and political system these changes are occurring in rather than the technology itself

Not that I’m gonna get into details given the rules of the server

[wispy rampart]

hi

[soft lion]

Awesome

[neon mantle]

commercial VO has already seem to have taken a liking to AI. We had a partner at my work recently send us some VO to implement, and it was done with AI (and tbh the quality was "just ok"), but it only cost them something like $250 for a ton of content with multiple variations. Did some LMS content for my work yesterday and they started using AI for the VO work in our training materials, too...

[atomic arrow]

I mean, hasn’t non-intelligent computer voices existed for a while now?

[neon mantle]

Yeah, that's fair. It has.

I did see that there is a battle royale FPS that is using it to generate VO, which on one hand does suck for voice actors, but on the other hand seems like a cool way to use it. I imagine that sports games might give this a go for the anouncers at some point, too.

[fiery grotto]

1 addicting game at a time

[verbal geyser]

[atomic arrow]

You can also try DotA 2

[verbal geyser]

Moba is too hard for me

[atomic arrow]

Fair

But I wouldn’t say I’m good at it

Even with almost 3k hours lol

[fiery grotto]

lol

[verbal geyser]

What different about 3 lane
What carry
I don't understand lol

[atomic arrow]

I mean if you’re asking the lane difference depends on the game

But the carry is the hero who can have the most impact if they get the most resources

And they can carry the team to victory

Not alone, usually, but with the right support

[verbal geyser]

That is the weak point for me lol

[atomic arrow]

That’s why I usually play support

[verbal geyser]

Heal and find resources?

[atomic arrow]

Usually only a few characters can heal others. The ones that can are usually supports, but not all supports heal

I think control is a more common tool

[verbal geyser]

Hmmm

[atomic arrow]

It can serve as healing (your opponents are unable to attack) but also as an offensive tool (they can’t react to being attacked)

[verbal geyser]

It so complicated
My brain is melting

[atomic arrow]

I don’t know in that dice game, but usually tower defense games have support towers

Like towers that slow, freeze, or stun

[verbal geyser]

Some dice can protect from debuff

[atomic arrow]

You might have towers that recover lives too

But they’re not usually the core damage dealers of your strategy I imagine

[verbal geyser]

Some dice can TROLL the opponent

Some dice is deal dmg if you use correctly

[atomic arrow]

Usually those would be the carries in a moba

I imagine some dice need to be leveled up more than others

[verbal geyser]

Some dice can build your dice to more stronger

[atomic arrow]

If you can manipulate which ones level up first

[verbal geyser]

[atomic arrow]

Those would be carries or pos 1

(position)

There are 5 players on the team, so 1 gets the most resources and 5 the least

[verbal geyser]

Hmm

[atomic arrow]

There aren’t many abilities that manipulate resources in DotA 2, but there are tasks any character can do that manipulate resources, and usually it’s the role of the supports (position 5) to do them

For example, you can manipulate the enemies so there are more enemies

Then the carry can kill the enemies to gain resources

Other MOBAs tend to not have this specific mechanic though

[verbal geyser]

In my game
You also can co-op for reward
You can play with random rookie to help him
Or you can help partner to survive more wave by "support" them

By the way
The "Troll" dice ,some dice might have a support skill

Instead of decrease dot , it add dot to random target

[atomic arrow]

I think both tower defense games and MOBAs come from the same source

Warcraft III. Or, well, maybe real-time strategy games

[verbal geyser]

I agree

[atomic arrow]

Tower defense games removed the units but kept the building

[verbal geyser]

Because they have a tower

[atomic arrow]

MOBAs removed the building but kept a single unit

Auto-Chess… I forgot what they removed

[verbal geyser]

Hmm

[atomic arrow]

I used to have this well-thought out and explained

[verbal geyser]

Btw
Is random dice roll roll count?

[atomic arrow]

Maybe the micro

[verbal geyser]

🎲

[atomic arrow]

I don’t know it well enough to say

Don’t you try to kill waves of AI enemies that try to reach the other end of a track?

I think it’s closer to competitive tower defense than to auto-chess

But they’re similar

[verbal geyser]

Hmm

How does a YGO Cube work? In MTG at least you can make a functioning deck from cards of the same color

Even if it’s not good outside of draft

In YGO the archetypal restrictions seem more strict

[soft lion]

You pick a theme to go based off of

Like only warrior monsters or from one anime

the zexal deck goes crazy

[signal kiln]

You don't use archetypes

Or you can

Lemme get a link to one of my cubes

@civic cosmos what do you use uMatrix for? my assumption was that it's not maintained

uBlock Origin comes close, especially with https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Blocking-mode:-hard-mode

(but I feel like it's a bit too much effort for most sites, unless the site is really sketchy like Fandom and most news websites)

[civic cosmos]

I use uMatrix to be picky about what hosts come in and out , I use it for more than adblocker

For example, I can choose not to run any of these scripts/cookies/etc which not only helps sites load faster but also helps protect from certain trackers and hostile elements

Sometimes this means sites break on first load and I gotta take a couple seconds to configure
But its nice to have an extra layer

though yeah honestly this has been working well enough for me that I didnt even notice it hasnt been updated in a couple years
Just been using it that long ig
For context I use uBlock in addition to uMatrix (and some other bits and bobs like Random User Agent)

Looks like they're both from the same developer anyways lol. Maybe uBlock does this now. But my old woman ass doesn't feel like switching over and remaking all my configs

I think uBlock doesn't have the fine-grained control over specific requests like CSS or XHR, only image, inline-script, 1p-script, 3p, 3p-script, 3p-frame. I don't know if using both uBlock Origin and uMatrix will cause issues, but if it works for you then I think it should be fine

[soft lion]

nicee

[ashen granite]

your specific filtering setup feels hard to replicate with uBlock Origin, the closest you might get is "block third-party frames and scripts by default" (https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Blocking-mode:-medium-mode)

[civic cosmos]

Yeah I've been reading through the GitHub about it

I like the granularity , I can turn off uMatrix if I can't be bothered to fine tune and still have uBlock to back me up. Plus I like uBlocks element zapper

Long ago, 2 races ruled over Earth: HUMANS and MONSTERS.

Humans were in great distress and the creatures knew they could not continue to occupy Earth.

[ashen granite]

[half moon]

yeah three makes more sense you are right

[wise gust]

what are y'all talking about oh my GO

WHY SHIRT HAS THREE HOLES

??

am i high, or is it you

[civic cosmos]

A straw has zero holes topologically

[lime spire]

A straw is a long torus, and has one hole, it's definitely not zero

[civic cosmos]

It's not a torus, it has no width
It's a plane

[nimble whale]

I think it's 1, 1, 2

[pulsar basalt]

I know the first two have 1 hole since they can both be reduced to donut

something tells me the shirt also has 1 hole, just with 4 openings connecting it

[half moon]

I don't think it works that way

[sullen portal]

any topographical mathematicians in chat I think I may have literally failed that class

[ashen granite]

a shirt is just a straw with two extra holes

[nimble whale]

or 2 straws

[half moon]

I am sorry to inform you but shirts, straws and paper do have width

[lime spire]

3 holes in a shirt because one cut from top to bottom then one more cut for each sleeve to make it flat

[visual sail]

cut the shirt down the middle and theres no more hole, problem solved

[spare sierra]

Oh no

[nimble whale]

lmao

[spare sierra]

I knew it was only a matter of time until this came to the discord

[half moon]

unless I imagine it differently each part would still have a hole

[lime spire]

if the sleeves were their own separate straw then it'd be 2 but because they connect to the torso 'straw' it's 3

[visual sail]

you dont cut it in half, you cut one side down the mdidle to make it a flat shape

[lime spire]

actually shirts have tons of holes because fabric is woven

[visual sail]

but fabric has holes because its made of atoms

[lime spire]

we're really drilling to the bottom of ontology here

[nimble whale]

I feel like 1, 2 and 4 would make sense here, but not 3

[pulsar basalt]

imagine rolling up the torso of the shirt until you reach the other 3 holes at the top, and doing the same with the sleeves

you're left with a triple donut

(I don't know if triple torus is correct terminology)

[lime spire]

so you start with 3 lines (holes) |||
connect the top of each of the side lines to the middle line ┌╀┐
that's a t-shirt. 3 holes even those the '4 openings' are arranged like this ╁

its not just a - line and a | line because they're connected

but it's not 4 for the same reason as the straw isn't 2; the middle one is one hole

think of the inside of each sleeve as being a 'hole' into the torso

so it's like, 3 tubes

so 3 holes

[nimble whale]

I still don’t think it’s 3

[leaden jetty]

if you flatten it to a 2d plane (t shirt) it's 3

[visual sail]

shirt is shirt and hole is hole (i rest my case)

[spare sierra]

I'll give you more than 3 hole seconds to check out the new Joker leak
#🎙・server-chat message

[visual sail]

already saw it (get sniped)

[lime spire]

here is a little drawing to visually explain
you have 3 holes
you 'bend' two of the holes down to join the middle
the resulting shape (4 openings, a torso with two sleeves) is the shape of a t-shirt

you didn't put one hole all the way 'through' the torso for both sleeves, you have to add two

you can stretch the sleeves back into the torso and just have a cylinder with a hole on each side

[leaden jetty]

3 holes. Simple.

[nimble whale]

Fine I give up

[lime spire]

topology can be silly and hard to explain don't worry about it

[leaden jetty]

My partner HATES the phrase "A coffee mug and a (ring) doughnut are the same thing"

refuses to believe it

[lime spire]

the whole of the cup part is one piece (no hole); the handle has a hole for you to grab in; therefore if it were made of putty you could squish the cup part into a lump and you'd have a wonky donut but a donut nonetheless

@fiery grotto whats your favorite pie slice

[fiery grotto]

I dont eat pie

[atomic arrow]

I’ve seen tritorus

Maybe 3-torus

I’m reminded when I checked the Wikipedia page for Pair of pants (mathematics) and they listed the wrong number of holes

I wonder if it’s still wrong

It’s still wrong

Although they have an image with the correct number of holes below

[pulsar basalt]

rip

[atomic arrow]

There’s also this funny out-of-context image

[atomic arrow]

Vsauce has a good video about the subject exploring the number of holes in the human body. In terms of language, there are two kinds of holes: a void that goes through an object, and recessions on the surface of an object. Mathematically, only the first object is a hole. As a consequence, a void going through an object is a single hole, not two, so there’s that additional semantic wrinkle.

Hence a straw is a single hole. Topologically, you can start with a donut, then make it very tall to obtain a large straw, then shrink it proportionally to obtain a small straw. The donut has a single hole, and thus so does the straw.

On the other hand, as seen above, a mug and a donut are topologically the same. So a straw and a mug are also the same.

@weary bay some examples (continuing from #🎙・server-chat )

[arctic robin]

Ah, I missed the talk

Also, if anyone's still interested: Apparently, a way to figure out how many holes something has topologically is to find out how many times you can cut something in non-parallel ways.
Which means a straw and a donut have the same amount of holes, 1.
The T-Shirt has 3.

The möbius strip, on the other hand, has 2.

[atomic arrow]

What do you mean?

[arctic robin]

The möbius strip part, or generally?

[atomic arrow]

The cutting part

Is it about homotopy groups

[pulsar basalt]

i think that's equivalent to the number of times you can cut from one opening to another

[arctic robin]

How many times can you cut an object, either from one opening to another, or all the way through itself, without it being cut into multiple pieces, is the amount of holes an object has

[pulsar basalt]

with each cut combining openings

[atomic arrow]

I’m trying to convert from that definition to one I know and failing

[arctic robin]

I just took the thing Riemann found and applied it
Seems to work pretty well till now

Except for the möbius strip, I still don't know how it having two holes is supposed to make sense

[pulsar basalt]

the mobius strip is just a flattened torus

[arctic robin]

Like, I get that you can cut it in the above-mentioned fashion twice without it being cut into multiple pieces, but it's still weird

[arctic robin]

No, a flattened torus wouldn't have that turned piece

[pulsar basalt]

sure it can

[arctic robin]

That also means you can make this into a torus by pumping it up

[pulsar basalt]

ye

treat the center of the strip as the center of a circle

then expand until reaching that circle

[arctic robin]

Yea, the issue is, you can cut a normal flat ring once without cutting it into multiple pieces, but a möbius strip twice without cutting it into multiple pieces

Which would mean that they aren't topologically the same

[pulsar basalt]

i think if you cut a torus but cut with a twist you get the same outcome

[arctic robin]

You mean, cutting the torus mostly along the long side, but at some point do a spinny thing along the short side?

...hold on

[pulsar basalt]

i think that's correct

[arctic robin]

Oh wait, I got it now

Ring ≈ flattened Torus
Möbius strip ≈ flattened hollow Torus

[atomic arrow]

I found a stackexchange answer that seems to imply that genus isn’t defined for non-oriented surfaces

[arctic robin]

non-oriented would refer to the möbius strip's property where going along one of its sides leads you to the other, or...?

[atomic arrow]

Do homeomorphisms preserve orientation? Or only diffeomorphisms? I think they don’t because I remember the YouTube video about turning the sphere inside out continuously

[atomic arrow]

Yes. To visualize it, imagine there’s hair growing out of a surface perpendicularly

If you start growing hair from somewhere, in the Mobius strip you’ll come across the same point with hair going in different directions

[atomic arrow]

The same answer does however include a proof of equivalence between different definitions, but highlights there’s not necessarily a consensus among topologists on how to define it.

For non-orientable surfaces that is

[arctic robin]

Yea, considering how wacky non-orientable surfaces can be, I'd figure that topologists still wouldn't be sure of how to deal with quite a bit of their topological stuff

[atomic arrow]

I think it’s more that they’re not that interested

But thinking about it, where did you get your definition with cuts? It might just be wrong, or the cut you’re doing isn’t a true cut because of the non-orientability

Thinking back, I think I only learned a definition of genus that required differentiability. It’s been a while and I struggled with that class. I know you can use homotopy classes but I didn’t study that definition

[arctic robin]

Originally, I really just took the definition as I read it with between the holes
I just added the all the way through itself part because of the Möbius strip

Also, about how I found it, some time ago, I just searched up "topology counting holes" or something along the lines, and the first one I clicked said that the "how many times you can cut without cutting it apart" is from Riemann

[atomic arrow]

That seems like an approximation of homotopy groups to me

This reminds me that I drew a Joker wire a Mobius strip on it

[hollow edge]

To visualize it, just change the rendering shader to output the surface normal as the fragment color

[tawdry ore]

Sonic the Echidna

and Sonic the Fox

[tawdry ore]

a GIF..
and a spritesheet!

[atomic arrow]

I didn’t mention the surface normal because that’s explicitly what I want them to visualize

So it would be a cyclic example

“To visualize x just picture x.”

Also the surface normal wouldn’t be defined for a Möbius strip… although I wonder how 3D modeling software cheats it

[terse basalt]

It is defined

If a Möbius strip doesn't look pitch black IRL then lighting works on it

which means there must be a normal

[atomic arrow]

I don’t think we’re talking about the same normals

Also a Möbius strip IRL isn’t a surface

It’s a solid

So I believe it would be orientable

Yeah I think a real life Möbius strip is just a torus

[terse basalt]

Given a point on the strip and a face(YES, a FACE)

you have a normal

[terse basalt]

Whatever normal light reflection uses

[atomic arrow]

As you saw, immediately after I realized that a real life Möbius strip isn’t a surface and therefore it’s orientable

[terse basalt]

A theoretical one with no thickness can also have normals though

you still need to specify a face

[atomic arrow]

I’m thinking of normal as a continuous (differentiable?) map from the manifold to the tangent space

It’s not continuous for Möbius strips

Hence it’s non-orientable

[terse basalt]

I understood most of the words in that sentence but not the sentence itself lol

[terse basalt]

Let's just saySimpleStrip = lim (approximation -> best) tessellate_with_triangles(MbStrip)

[atomic arrow]

Maybe this isn’t the definition, it’s been a while and I only studied differential geometry of curves and surfaces. Maybe 3D manifolds too

[terse basalt]

Meanwhile I know nothing about topology and 3D geometry but work with OpenGL fragment shaders every day

[atomic arrow]

To be more precise it should be an atlas an not a map, naturally

[terse basalt]

Unrelated, but the PFP not having the decor in the reply indicator keeps making me think you're replying to someone else lol

[atomic arrow]

I know you can build geometry from triangulations but I only learned how to do it from atlases

[terse basalt]

I only know atlas means this

basically a bunch of sprites in a single image, used by programs to improve efficiency

[atomic arrow]

Wikipedia explains it very well.

[terse basalt]

(If you're wondering, Baba Is You does not use atlases, but I made a program to generate an atlas of all the sprites)

[terse basalt]

Where is that from

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Atlas_(topology)

[terse basalt]

This doesn't contain your text

[atomic arrow]

Manifold

[terse basalt]

oh

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Texture_atlas

[atomic arrow]

I knew it as spritesheet

[terse basalt]

I'd take more time looking up definitions to understand this paragraph than doing a calculus problem with the same amount of text

[atomic arrow]

I think it has more information than it needs to. As I said, an atlas is a collection of consistent diffeomorphic maps

[terse basalt]

an atlas is a collection of consistent diffeomorphic maps
No thanks, I'll study OOP design instead

[atomic arrow]

Basically if you look at two maps of the Earth, one excluding the South Pole and the other excluding the North Pole, they need to agree everywhere else

This means you need to look at one map, locate a point on the Earth’s surface, look at that point, the locate a point in the second map

The same for your speed if you were moving through that point

And naturally the same if you started from the second map, then Earth, then the first map

Me not on the left

[verbal geyser]

Can i post about food in Thailand?

It kinda
Questionable food lol

[leaden jetty]

If it doesn't break the rules and it's in off topic you can, but if you're speaking negatively of the culture, may ask you to stop etc

just be decent and use common sense basically

[verbal geyser]

(it also makes some Italian people angry lul)

Err
But why xD

[verbal geyser]

Pizza with sushi crust.

it include Japanese rice to make a sushi.....

[ashen granite]

I think that's moreso an innovation than anything

the crust is typically the most "boring" part of a pizza

this reminded me of garlic knot crusts: https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/knot-your-average-pizza-the-all-new-pizza-hut-stuffed-garlic-knots-pizza-is-an-appetizer--pizza-all-in-one-300208824.html

crusts stuffed with cheese seems to be common, at least here in Australia - both Domino's and Pizza Hut have them

[verbal geyser]

But pizza with a sushi crust
How

Lmao

[ashen granite]

there's apparently a list of these custom crusts: https://www.lovefood.com/galleries/amp/53560/20-stuffed-pizza-crusts-you-wont-believe

I think "sushi crust" is not too far off of something like "cheeseburger crust"

[verbal geyser]

But rice in pizza is kinda weird

[verbal geyser]

Btw
That thing is make me more hungry

Lol

[ashen granite]

there's a place that does sushi burgers here

it's surprisingly good

[verbal geyser]

Oh

[ashen granite]

(they also have more traditional fish fillings, rather than burger fillings)

[verbal geyser]

That kinda hurt

too much hungry right now , i want to try it out lol

[verbal geyser]

I'd like to stop talking about this for now. I'm starting to feel hungry already.

xD

[neon mantle]

is it just a normal burger with a seaweed wrap, or do they use some other sushi ingredients?

[sullen portal]

i would eat this at least once a month

[civic cosmos]

Yeah these look very eat-able if that makes sense
The half wrap is a good grabbing point

[atomic arrow]

I think I’ve seen worse in Brazil

[ashen granite]

yes, pretty much, with two rice patties that have been fried on one side

there's other burgers which use sushi ingredients

[neon mantle]

looks delicious

[visual sail]

Yeah, I'm "American asain"

[verbal geyser]

how about this thing.

lol

[atomic arrow]

Sometime maybe I’ll bring images of cursed Brazilian pizza

[visual sail]

Papa's burgeria got me like

Only true gamers understand

@arctic crystal

The line I use the most from that movie is "I have a doubt"

[arctic crystal]

wait, which scene was that from again? i forgor

was it the one where uhhh

....ah nevermind, holy i almost forgot zorg's name EHWULIFEHWLI
it really has been a while since i've seen this movie

[weary bay]

I think it's uhhhh, the president says it when they're questioning whether or not to blow up the thing

[arctic crystal]

OH
right, this scene, yeah i remember

[weary bay]

Gary Oldman absolutely slays as
Jean-Baptiste
Emanuel
Zorg.

[arctic crystal]

zorg is incredible
some of his lines are genuinely WAY too funny in that movie

him yelling at the mercenaries about the crates is so good

[weary bay]

I like how he smiles as smooths out his hair after going off

[kindred sparrow]

I want a ZF-1

[signal kiln]

Brazilian here. Those are literally not real and just stereotypes

Server rules say to speak English only. Still, a lot of people post them thinking they're the norm of pizza on Brazil

[atomic arrow]

I know I just wanted to write that one sentence ;P

[neon mantle]

Sorry, thems the rules!

[neon mantle]

What are some popular pizza toppings in Brazil? Just curious.

[signal kiln]

Well, something necessary to note is that not all pizzas in brazil have cheese in them. For example, here's a cheeseless pepperoni pizza with onions and olive on top

[neon mantle]

I would DESTROY that pizza. Huge onion fan

Cheese is great, but with the right spices and toppings, I think it would still taste great

[signal kiln]

There's also chicken pizza as well, this one has a lot of cheese in it

[neon mantle]

the yellowish stuff on top: is that a type of cheese?

[signal kiln]

Yes

[neon mantle]

looks tasty. time to go make a boring salad for lunch 😦

[signal kiln]

🫂

[atomic arrow]

I don’t think I have seen a non-dessert pizza without cheese

[atomic arrow]

I think it’s probably catupiry cheese

[signal kiln]

Another option that cheeseless pizza opens up is the sweet pizza, like this chocolate pizza (spoiler tagged because you WILL get hungry)

[signal kiln]

They're very common in São Paulo

[signal kiln]

It's literally just the pizza mass but rather than tomato sauce or cheese it's chocolate and with strawberries on top

Actual divine

[neon mantle]

I love pizza as a canvas for cool ideas. never got the pizza traditionalist take, personally. want pineapple pizza dipped in ranch? why not; enjoy whatever makes you happy

with that said, my buddy got told off at a local hipster pizza joint for asking for ranch. they do be out there

[signal kiln]

The "pizza traditionalist take" is so funny because it's not even traditional italian pizza they're calling sacred it's the americanized one

[atomic arrow]

Except for the actual Italians

[neon mantle]

important to note on the story above: the pizza place did just win an award in naples, so they do lean into the traditional style

(It is US based, not in Italy)

[atomic arrow]

I saw a rather over the top dessert pizza that looked more like a cake. There were different types of candy on different quarters, another one in the middle, and the border had mounds in it. I think one of the toppings was ice cream

[signal kiln]

The vast majority of people arguing to not put pineapple on pizza aren't that, tbfh

[atomic arrow]

Recently I’ve had more contact with actual Italians and they take issue with much less

[neon mantle]

sounds interesting, but maybe too sweet for me

[atomic arrow]

I have to point out this pizza was meant to be shared

It was very large

You do have some places that sell giant pizzas

Usually their pizza isn’t amazing but it’s affordable, especially if you do want to share a pizza among 8 or more people

[verbal geyser]

Kinda look good
But i feel my teeth is kinda pain after seeing this

[signal kiln]

valid
