office will have its own breaker

#

no like they dont esixt

proud jay
#

oh

white oxide
#

just different carpet

#

or tile or whatever

proud jay
#

why make it different at all then

#

if it's all one open space

#

that's gonna look wild I feel like

empty dune
proud jay
#

if he's not building a second story could get away with it probably

white oxide
#

the beams are going only 27 feet

#

easy a frame

proud jay
#

but you should have an engineer look at it though

white oxide
#

technically only 14ft in the open space

#

rafters will go like this

#

they space every 16 inches

#

the only load is the roof which will be single layer composite

deep copper
#

how do you get inside bedroom

proud jay
#

you punch a hole in the wall

#

this is america

#

but there were doors here

empty dune
#

i just realised, this is made out of lumber

white oxide
#

the layout was pulling back up

empty dune
#

isnt concrete cheaper?

white oxide
#

not here

empty dune
#

ah

white oxide
#

no one builds concrete here

proud jay
#

no one builds concrete houses

empty dune
#

really?

proud jay
#

they use bricks

white oxide
#

you build adobe/plaster

#

but its texas everything is wood frame with building brick sides

empty dune
white oxide
#

not really

proud jay
#

mortar is cement

#

and sand

white oxide
#

brick mortar has a different chemical makeup

#

than the concrete used in foundations and road

empty dune
#

interesting

white oxide
#

and its not load bearing

empty dune
#

learnt something today

white oxide
#

my house is using 2x6 exterior frame

#

standard is 2x4

#

but the thermal efficency is almost doubled for the 2x6 and it matches the main house

#

it gets up to 110F here and a few years ago got -4f

#

house stays confortable with a low cost bill

deep copper
white oxide
#

the program i use loads walls first then adds the doors and such

#

also bathroom opens to living because #1 im the only one there #2 if theres a guest id rather them not enter my bedroom to get to the bath

deep copper
white oxide
#

yeah it does

deep copper
empty dune
#

bathroom opening to living is common here, we usually have two. one for guests and one attached to a bedroom

white oxide
#

also if we put a door there it either interferes with other doors in the closet or bedroom, and the space for both a full toilet and a full tub

empty dune
white oxide
#

then it can block the path around the couch

white oxide
#

it could open inwards

empty dune
#

only for like a minute though

empty dune
white oxide
#

but its just a recessed door

proud jay
#

2 bathroom billionaire

empty dune
#

.........2 bathroom is the standard here lol

white oxide
#

same

#

our house has 2 bathrooms 1 is guest designed. its mid range for the county price wise

proud jay
#

guest bathroom is wild to me

#

you guys take this guest thing way too seriously

deep copper
#

it's better to have a guest bathroom because you don't know what might live there

white oxide
#

its a 3 bed house too so technically 2 bedrooms share it

proud jay
#

or just share a bathroom

#

you're not showering 24/7 are you

deep copper
#

what if 1 breaks

empty dune
#

you dont refuse those two

deep copper
#

it's better to have 3 bathrooms

regal pecan
proud jay
#

I can have guests, but that doesn't mean they need their own bedroom

white oxide
#

but yeah also my house is being designed cat friendly

proud jay
#

having sleepover guests is already quite rare here tbh

white oxide
#

the big porch is going to be screened in

proud jay
#

but I guess that' what you get for having smaller countries in EU

#

people just go to their own home after coming over

#

and if someone stays over it's very rare

#

so it's wild to have dedicated rooms for that

deep copper
#

that makes sense

proud jay
#

they would go unused 95% of the time

white oxide
#

when i move into my own space my dads guest bathroom is likely to go unused

deep copper
#

we got 3 rooms and 3 bathrooms

white oxide
#

no one else would use it but his friends who come over rarely

proud jay
#

see, useless room

brittle holly
#

I never knew what en-suite bathrooms were until I moved into this house, but I don’t mind it at all

white oxide
#

my cats going to have more square footage than i do

deep copper
#

it's not useless if you use it as storage when unused

brittle holly
#

A bathroom?

empty dune
#

store what exactly in a bathroom?

white oxide
#

clothes?

brittle holly
#

Toilet paper hoarding for next pandemic lol

empty dune
#

dead bodies?

proud jay
#

over here we just have 1 bathroom and you share it like normal human beings

deep copper
proud jay
deep copper
#

yes, stupid choice

#

but it works best

brittle holly
deep copper
#

it's actually convienient

#

you can use whatever is closest

proud jay
#

it's just a shame to build a whole room that going unused most of the time instead of just waiting 5 min to take a shower

deep copper
#

tbh I'd wish i had my own garden instead of that, but that's not a great selling point for builders

brittle holly
#

It was already built

#

And garden you can make anytime

empty dune
#

id love to have my own personal indoor greenhouse tbh

regal pecan
#

Idea: make second bathrooms into a kitchen, +plumbing reuse

white oxide
#

yeah same

deep copper
#

I'd definitely not take care of it but it looks cool

brittle holly
#

Wife’s actually trying to get a garden going now so I bought her fabric beds

proud jay
#

so she can sleep while watching the garden

#

how sweet

brittle holly
#

Can’t rly see it from bed

deep copper
#

greenhouse wouldn't have insects either right

#

sounds best

brittle holly

#

i love the idea of a whole room dedicated to plants

white oxide

my final house design is "U" with a big central garden

proud jay
brittle holly
white oxide

nope

actually its for my cat and my partner

proud jay

brittle holly
white oxide
#

regal pecan

I'm sure an enclosed grow room appeals to certain realms of society

You’re missing out

on kinks?

deep copper
#

if it's like that we'd rather miss out

brittle holly
#

Anyways the premise for both game and show was cordyceps evolved to be resistant to heat due to global warming

#

There’s no stopping it after that

brittle holly

ive played the game, dont remember frenching a fungi quick time events

brittle holly

Ah the common game design decision of whether to make the player immune, force the player to wear masks and hide the main character's face, or compromise on your world design.

Probably would've been neat if the infection took time and it portrayed the main character as infected and slowly declining over the course of the game.

it honestly feels like guesswork

# empty dune wake up, new 4X dropped

The phrase "wake up, new 4X dropped" likely refers to the release of a new 4X video game. In the context of gaming, 4X stands for "explore, expand, exploit, and exterminate," which are the four primary gameplay mechanics of this genre. These games typically involve managing an empire or civilization, with players exploring unknown territories, expanding their control, exploiting resources, and engaging in combat or diplomacy.

So, "wake up, new 4X dropped" is an excited announcement indicating that a new game of this type has been released and is now available to play.

# pearl elk oh shi.... is that what gfuel is 😮

The phrase "are we feeding gamers with the remains of other gamers now? oh shi.... is that what gfuel is 😮" appears to be a humorous and exaggerated comment, likely made in jest. Here's a breakdown:

  1. Feeding gamers with the remains of other gamers: This is a hyperbolic way of suggesting that something (possibly the way games or gaming culture is evolving) is self-cannibalizing or recycling aspects of itself in a somewhat grotesque or absurd manner.

  2. Gfuel: This is a brand of energy drink marketed primarily towards gamers. The comment is jokingly suggesting that Gfuel is made from "the remains of other gamers," playing on the hyperbolic and absurd nature of the first part of the statement.

Overall, it's a playful and exaggerated joke about the gaming culture, implying that Gfuel (an energy drink) could humorously be something sinister or ridiculous, like being made from other gamers. This kind of humor is common in online gaming communities.

soft night
#

chatGPT is the trap

deep copper
# pearl elk because they are worthy of the half time show

The phrase "I'm now going to refer to things as superbolic because they are worthy of the half time show" is a playful twist on the term "hyperbolic."

  1. Hyperbolic: As previously mentioned, it means exaggerated or overstated.

  2. Superbolic: This is a made-up term, blending "super" (meaning very high degree or extreme) with "bolic" (from hyperbolic).

  3. Worthy of the half time show: The halftime show, especially in the context of events like the Super Bowl, is known for being extravagant, over-the-top, and highly entertaining.

By combining these ideas, the person is humorously suggesting that instead of just being "hyperbolic" (exaggerated), some things are so grand and spectacular that they deserve to be called "superbolic," likening them to the extravagant and sensational nature of a halftime show. It’s a clever and creative way to amplify the concept of exaggeration to an even higher level.

# broken sigil He is an Android sent by Cyberlife

The phrase "He is an Android sent by Cyberlife" is a reference to the video game Detroit: Become Human. Here's the breakdown:

  1. Android: In this context, an android is a humanoid robot designed to look and act like a human.

  2. Cyberlife: This is a fictional company within the game Detroit: Become Human. Cyberlife is responsible for creating and manufacturing androids.

  3. Sent by Cyberlife: This indicates that the android was created and dispatched by the Cyberlife company, typically for a specific purpose or mission.

In Detroit: Become Human, Cyberlife androids are integrated into society, performing various roles from household helpers to law enforcement. The game explores themes of artificial intelligence, free will, and the ethical implications of creating life-like robots. The phrase likely refers to one of the game's characters who is an android created and sent by Cyberlife.

deep copper
# empty dune helldivers 2 500 kg bomb

The "Helldivers 2 500 kg bomb" likely refers to a weapon or item in a video game called "Helldivers 2," which could be a sequel to the game "Helldivers." The "500 kg bomb" likely indicates the size or power of the bomb in the game. It's a common naming convention in games to describe weapons by their size or capabilities.

#

people show passion for what they do

hollow dawn
#

imo if someone is passionate about their work or product, they take care of it, they learn about it, they improve it, they try to be truthful to the subject and make it great

deep copper
#

they spend so much effort and raise their projects with such care.
it's adorable to watch

It was a very weird battle to pick. We have nothing to do with what Epic are doing, so why attack people here? Multiple people were saying how what Epic are doing there is silly. Anyway, enough of that. Don't want to continue it here

#

I have to say, reading the book, my opinion of the TV adaption has reduced significantly.

summer cedar
#

The live action seasons changed The King's Avatar too much.

#

It's still a great show, no doubt.

deep copper
#

adaptations 99% times bad

summer cedar
#

BUT, I dislike the changing of the characters' nature and some of the events that weren't covered in the live action series.

#

The anime seems to be more faithful, but still....

summer cedar
#

I understand they had to change some of it for the Chinese censors AND introduce some excitement with extreme characters for the live audience, but still....

#

Anyway, the book is PHENOMENAL.

#

I haven't read such a large novel before and it's kept me hooked.

#

I find it interesting that the author wrote VERY FEW descriptive pages. You know how so many big novels and even regular ones use a lot of descriptive text as fillers?

deep copper
summer cedar
#

Not this guy. Almost every page is filled with some kind of action. Very good stuff.

summer cedar
#

Yep. I can understand why Butterfly is such a well-known author over there.

#

Disclaimer: The dude's pen name is Butterfly.

dim crypt
#

novels should have pencil illustrations for scenes that would otherwise call for a bunch of description 🤔

deep copper
#

they don't draw good

#

that's why they write

summer cedar
#

🤣

dim crypt
summer cedar
#

Actually, I think it's a bit of old vs. new in that regard.

#

The old guard of readers expected good descriptions.

#

Unfortunately, we haven't changed the style very much to match the market.

because authors can execute it exactly as they want

What's important is whether or not you published them and won money for any of them.

I did.

So standards are high.

@proud jay Wouldn't be surprised if it were. But, I don't think they need to do that.

They also do quite a bit of charitable activities for engineers and scientist students.

You should make it. Simple games are often tremendously popular.

I liked dx11 more personally

summer cedar
#

not dx12?

#

The extra number is meaningful, no?

proud jay
#

never used 12, but they changed a lot which seems to make it more complex

dim crypt
#

a bunch of modern games that have dx11 and dx12 options perform worse with dx12 for some reason

summer cedar
#

I am speculating, but I think it's because dx12 is so different from dx11 that providing for both ends up under-utilising dx12's features.

#

It was meant by MS as a replacement and increment to DX, not to live alongside its predecessor.

dim crypt
#

everyone should just go vulkan and forget proprietary APIs ☝️🤓

summer cedar
#

the irony being that Vulkan became more popular because of the Dx12 problem you mentioned.

dim crypt
summer cedar

Isn't Vulkan fairly stable now?

proud jay

using vulkan gives "I use arch btw" vibes

I’m still unconvinced that Chris isn’t doing this on purpose

#

Why stop the gravy train by releasing the game when he can just keep getting richer and richer on his false promises

regal pecan
#

The game could be released now. It's not good, but it has enough elements to be playable as a mediocre busywork sandbox. ("What's wrong with that?" - Elite: Dangerous)

But, to keep the whales circling, he needs to maintain the sense of anticipation for his magical promises, which could be endangered if the game is clearly going to release without them.

LOL! People here complain about Star Citizen almost as much as the players of Star Citizen. (Seriously, I'd guess that half the threads on the SC forums are complaints about how the latest tiny change is going to spell doom and be the end of all things.)
