Are they magnetic though or a resistance brush?
The switch 2 does it too
Brushes always wear out
I've never seen it NOT happen
So the game itself used generative AI?
8bit-do makes a really nice magnetic sensor one for like $30
I can put the device on my leg and after a few seconds, it'll start sliding the cursor/input to the right even though my leg is only moving up and down slightly
Maybe someone installed a large magnet in your hand.
I actually use it, and after a few motions my controls are just completely wrong because it has drifted so far
I'm boutta install a huge magnet in your face then
Y'all goofy af
Gave it a read. I'd rather not use the tools myself.
yep, that's been me all week
Resonance Cascade
I want one just to support steam... Not that they don't make enough money, but the other console titans have lost their way...
Maybe an extra $100 if Gabe comes with a Steam Machine delivery. 
Where is steam HQ? I want to take a tour lol

Ubisoft Is Not Being Acquired
Ubisoft reported a €120M loss for 2025–26 but is close to securing a €1.16B investment from Tencent to move forward.

Could have been worse but I’d rather not take the pi rat word for it
Can't trust the French...
Well they’re in pretty ugly shape
They already put their most valuable IP in different shells
None?
None of what they have made are really my jam
No tom clancy or rayman or anything
Maybe some of the older Star wars games from the 386 era... But probably never got my money lol
Nah, I don't often play single player games
Siege, For Honor
Never heard of those last two
Rainbow Six Siege
Oh yeah, I grew out of shooters probably 2 decades ago lol
There are so many shooters
Unless it was a third person kinda thing... DayZ/arma was awesome
I like looking over a fence before I hop over it
And there's vehicles... Love vehicle games
Vein has been a blast but we're 40 ish hours in and basically beat the game
Like match based counter strike style doesn't do it for me these days

Oh yeah dude, we're down to like 9 bil
Has anyone else seen the numbers
You are welcome God!
Critically endangered
At the moment, yeah
But for a species that has a 90 year lifespan, bad birthrates are bad
Well fix the economy God! We're almost completely done eroding the middle class into the lower class.
Don't put this on me
You are the only one who can help! Look what we're left to by our own means!
Non interference policy
But bro... What about Jesus
He died, twice, and nobody learned a thing
But Jesus now bro... Jesus II or something! Also how was Jesus non interference?
I don't even know if I believe any of it anymore... Seems a little long ago to have meaning today... Will AI replace you as God in the future?
You are right not to believe

You think mary was a virgin?
Off topic being off topic as usual
Bruh
Doubtful anything but the burning bush was anything other than a DMT trip
Joseph thought so, mary becomes pregnant, joseph thinks "how can this happen", she must be cheating, mary knew joseph to be a religious man, so she tells him that the holy ghost impregnated her, somehow that worked and the stable boy she cheated with is off the hook
Why do you have to be so mysterious and elusive and yet also in this discord? You don't make any sense.
Will we get another extinction level event before AI takes over? I'm so ready for it
Rate my birth
3/10
I mean another space rock changing the climate and turning modern society into dust and you know it!
This baby is going straight to the top
An asteroid?, unlikely
Dear God, what will you work on after our extinction?
Differential equations
Sounds boring...
Says you
Also how many different types of aliens have visited us so far?
God is losing his touch with his advanced age
1


I'm pulling your leg, there's no aliens
That's hard to believe... Don't you math?
I do
How much universe exists outside the visible one?
6
Six universal universe units
Probably more like 10 to the sixth
Humanity is 300k years old and it has already sent probes to other galaxies
The universe is 13 billion years old, and there's no signs of aliens, anywhere, even with the most powerful spectroscopes, there's no indication of so much as an errant radiowave, any alien race that is intelligent would have taken over at least a spiral arm of a galaxy, 13 billion years and there's nothing but us
10 to the power of PISSSSS
Dark forest though...
OUT MY AYASSSS
Super hard to believe
There should be aliens all over the place
We're the best that's ever been? So unlikely
The question is why are they not anywhere to be seen
There's people who have seen them though
Claim to have
They just already here under the ocean?
Or are we the aliens from Mars?
Species die out before getting far
They just saved us
Or it's just us
I think that aliens who are advanced enough to potentially notice us or communicate back are exceedingly rare, but that life in the universe as a whole is probably not as rare.
Yet we still have't seen any real evidence of it, so who tf knows, I want to believe tho
Just us is the scariest thing srsly
The scary part is the complete lack of evidence for any, no matter what galaxy you point a radiotelescope at, there's nothing
???
Statistically, given the age of the universe, and the non zero chance of life because hey, we exist, it can happen, it should have
You can say that about the evidence that you exist too though
My guy our furthest probe has only recently left our solar system
It hasn't
It still isn't far enough to be a separate dot on a map of our local galaxy
Anything even as intelligent as us won't stay put on a planet, it'll colonize others
Other than the old book of the guy named Jesus though and trust me bro it's real
I've heard that we can apparently take spectrographic readings of exoplanets and determine there is no sign of complex life based on chemistry but I have my doubts
Resolution, and distance
How many planets can even remotely support life as we know it
How long will AI out live man? Or does it die with us?
We still haven't confirmed whether the ice moons in our system are devoid of life
The vastness of the universe means the fermi paradox will go unanswered for probably eons
Likely many millions, and that's just life that we know from this planet, which is ridiculously diverse
Panspermia... Life finds a way
Or perhaps the vastness of that universe is the answer
The alien races are just as isolated as we are, only able to squint and see planets like ours as a faint distortion in the output of Sol
I have my own theory
Why did you make the universe so big God? Compensation for something?
Until that giant multiverse eating dragon swoops by and gobbles you up.
Until someone figures out how to instantly teleport across galaxies, or artificially create supernovae out of nothing
Nobody will ever see anyone else
A release date for Earth 2? 👀
And even with instant teleportation
🌌
The species gets advanced enough, figures out how to leave this universe and departs
If every human ever born were alive right now and they all blasted to a different star in our galaxy we wouldn't come close to seeing it all
And that's 1 galaxy.
Yeah in 13 billion years how many other earths have you done this human experiment on? We're probably at least the third try
Urf
I think they just can't see us
The first thing you gotta do is escape the planet before the sun eats it.
You gotta escape the universe before everything goes dark
Entropy is a bitch
To wherever the energy came from
But doesn’t matter if you can’t get off the spawn point
Why is the objective always running away from your problems
You have to tear space open
Why is "hyper advanced civilization" always "f-ck my home planet, screw my home star system, I'm eating everything and leaving"
Sounds more escapist than my own fantasies
Because that's how galactus rolls
Well the planet is good for a bit.
Surely we exist for reasons other than to run away from time
But 10% or so longer and life would run out of time to figure this out.
Can you advance enough to break space open is the question
Still hard to believe that there isn't anything like a von Neumann machine
Silently making enough to conquer the galaxy
Not one galaxy seems to have been colonized, which is the strange part
They show conforming heat and radioactivity patterns fairly uniform
Again dark forest... We're the only ones dumb enough to make noise
Again with the projecting your destructive dreams on every other lifeform
Surely an advanced race would've learned as we did on earth that colonizing everything is bad
Morally reprehensible, at the very least
Staying on one planet leads to ruination and death
Surely they would advance past such primitive concepts as mindless consumption and spread
no
Projection
Technological advancement will increase that
There is no requirement to make a big stain on the universe
That's just what YOU think is required for "progress"
So what just wait till the sun eats the earth? ha
????
I said that colonizing entire galaxies is wildly unnecessary
Not that all life should sit and do nothing
It's inevitable
Huuuuuuuge difference
Sure hasn't happened.
To you
Wild mentality to look up at the night sky and scream at the stars to do better instead of enjoying their beauty
I'd personally want to take a closer look
The stuff we can see is already so old that it's not even remotely close to what it is now
In the end all life returns back to the universe

I should change the topic to some cringe/horrors beyond human comprehension
Anyone want to see cringe?
Always
Did I deliver enough cringe?
Got my Madrinas palworld cup and powder today
Are you bouncing off the walls yet?
Now I gotta deal with Amazon support about my chair thats still being held in China despite being "shipped" a week ago
I only took a sip
think I put too much water
In the chair?
Sure
It normally takes a couple weeks for me to get anything that is "listed" as being shipped from China.
I recommend forcing your way into a text chat with a live representative (instead of the "not so helpful" computer).
Date/marry someone else? 
My thoughts exactly. I wouldn’t want to be a stepdad
Yes, cuz that's the primary issue here
He shouldn't need to step in as a father to a 21 year old, that is an adult. They should just accept their role as the play thing and befriend the 21 yr old
That would be insanely awkward tho
The 21 yr old's 46 yr old mother is hooking up with a guy that could be their younger brother. It is already insanely awkward xD
So, embrace the awkward and make a cool new friend in the process.
The entire situation is just messed up
Yeah, and it is probably fake xD
Pretty much no young man is dating anyone with that type of age difference
But, in any of the sugar momma situations, the guy is the fun for the older woman and the guy gets double benefits. Neither should bring family into the situation xD
You would be surprised

Cougars are a thing
Jeez

Technically yes, his lungs would have filled with blood

Yeah God, I am quite underwhelmed by your work to be honest...
I can't believe this god roleplay has lasted for hours
Oh God, one last question, I think... Are you a programmer? Is this just a simulation?
Done
Hurts?
Ish
Not a simulation
What do you mean my work
Us in your image specifically...
It's sloppy work at best... Were you up late the night before?
There was no plan
You chaotic lunatic!
There was a single, very basic cell
Just one
Endowed with a will to survive and reproduce by splitting and growing, multiplying
And everything today was what followed
Cuz nature likes making it if you know what I mean
Until ppl can't afford to get married and make kids...
Then we get a rapid decline in birth rates like Japan is going through
Saw something yesterday about Chinese birth rates don't support the 1.5 billion people claim that they make... Any thoughts on the reality of their population?
Made in china
Like they had a population of 580 million in 1950 and they'd have to have 3 children per person to keep that growing to their claims of 1.5bil

Ok I need to get off the couch and go play with my toy in the garage. Thanks for talking back for once God!
A ford escort
??? Eww I'm not a Ford guy
You must have me confused with the Rusty Shanker, this is just my online name
That makes no sense
I've owned 45 cars and zero have been Ford, Mazda, Lincoln, Mercury.
Seems excessive
Nah... I'm just an enthusiast! Maybe I have a touch of the VW guy problem...
The wife and I used to flip jeeps for profit. Buy in spring after the mountain sports are over and sell for twice the price in the fall when people want to go to the mountains
Sounds like a false economy, just walk to the mountains, costs less
Well that's all well and good in Jesus times but doesn't really work in modern life
Just pack a sandwich and hike
God you might be old and out of touch
Watch out for lions
Cougars too? XD
I've at least seen them in the ski lodges
I remember skiing, I was bad at it
Ermahgerd! That Craig's list ad for spammers is genius
Slipped on my back, went down the mountain a distance that way, knocked a few people over
Didn't secure my ski properly, fell off my boot halfway through a lift
Watched it fall down into a valley river
Lol! I've only ever snowboarded. It was fun and all but too expensive to do anything but occasionally
Don't like the mountains in the morning after the machines have plowed it
Makes he snow compact and rigid
Could see the lights of whatever the machines were from the hotel
Alright God, seriously this time, I'm getting off the couch and it's new tool time! Good talking to ya buddy!

Yay! Router picked up from where I stopped last night! Only an hour left! XD dunno why I thought it wouldn't but first time I've stopped it
Nintendo is seemingly rushing to remove user-made designs shared within Kirby Air Riders that feature fan-favorite character Chef Kawasaki dressed in a micro bikini. https://t.co/EV5HRjuICI
i mean the game literaly tells you dont upload inappropriate designs =p
Update about the Switch situation. The only explanation as to why Nintendo pulled our game from the eShop so far is this: "Upon reviewing The Great Rebellion: Edition 2084, Nintendo has determined that it contains content that could be damaging to Nintendo's reputation or brand."

-# Did Sepharoth Visa/MC do this?
Lesson learned? They yet to get a proper explanation.
Do not trust the review process and be prepared to be blocked from releasing in the last second
I’m not convinced this is purely Nintendo.
It’s on the JP eshop
12+
teenage rated game damaging nintendo’s brand to get it delisted from other regions?
Release it on PC
It is on PC.
Very good
It has political satire
Of course the corporation censors media that hurts them
This is why we have free speech in AMERICA
Smells like lobbying
The only downside is it will never reach the ones who need to see it most
Our free speech is so good the game gets delisted in America but released on schedule in Japan…
Think about that for a minute.

Time for a mini demon core

Kirby airiders
Was a game on gamecube
But ouf it nowhere sakurai decide "fuck it we do a second opus"
Yeee it's Kirby air riders, pretty awesome game so far, has a ton of customization in it including baseball caps
Unfortunately it's a switch 2 exclusive but iz okay, I've signed several deals with the devil before
I need to snap pics of my drip on Palworld
it can't be called an opus without elfilin...
I own 5 of Prima's soul meanwhile, chillruru
Youre not the devil he’s talking about
i will literally never forgive them until they add him in, FOR FREE
AS PART OF A FREE EXPANSION
NO DLC
NO MICTROTRANSACTIONS
JUTS THE THING YOU SHOULD'VE HAD FROM THE START
I still hope he does...
If he doesn't I've no more respect for him
Looking back at star allies
Sakurai did say he wouldn't be giving the game DLC, chill
Sakurai more like
STINKURAI
Ribbon still missing too
Like, he is adding a fking mushroom, while caracter like ribbon,Adeline and Elfilin and not in...
Yeah exactly
Sakurai is trolling, there is just no way otherwise
Apparently he made a document of everything that would be in the game, the year before FL released, and his sacred divine process does not allow adding anything substantial beyond that
but there's no way he wasn't told about FL and Elfilin
So this is just a big middle finger from him and Nintendo
As for ribbon and adeline, well, apparently he HATES humans in Kirby
It may not surprise you, then, that Sakurai did not make the games where those characters mainly appeared
Prima puts more effort into her OCs and worlds
I was sure you were putting in more effort that Nintendo
For a compliment?

Here’s an idea, let Prima make entire games
I'm an ideas girl lmao
Nintendo is "not" making effort right now
I just can't even
I mean its true
Yeah I'm not good at programming haha
Or drawing...or 3d modelling
I'm only really good at abstraction
I'd like to say I'm a good programmer, chill, but I'm really just average
I'm good at programming
Uuuh...
Is "unique" fall into charisma ?
Probably actualy...
I never said I was exceptionally charismatic
above average, at least, I think
people seem to like me a lot, so I think that's charm
Unless everyone is just gathering around to laugh at me in which case 
Just because people don't trip over themselves to satisfy my every desire like some weird cult doesn't mean I'm not charismatic and likeable
frankly I don't think I would WANT that
A little too weird
Ah, yes.
well, maybe it would save me the trouble of walking across the house to get a glass of milk
Some would consider being famous a blessing, and a curse.
and that's pretty cool
I belive prima would like that....but not too much
Enought so her ego can walk alone

Is anyone getting different videos on their Youtube home page on their phone and PC?

Slime Saga is a free-to-play third-person story-driven monster taming game, but instead of taming your monsters, you create them!

The survey didn’t delve into specifics, so that could mean anything from V-Bucks to PlayStation Store vouchers, but the category as a whole leads the charge with a 43% request rate.
Down the list, 39% of kids after gaming products will ask for a console, 37% accessories, and also 37% for physical games.
Of note, more than half of the kids surveyed said they would like to spend more time playing games with their parents, with 73% of those ages five through seven leading the charge.
||If only it was easy to teach a 5-7yo how to play monster hunter||
I’d get mine a Linux PC, the ultimate gaming machine
If they’re a nerd that might work out.
And teach them to avoid disgusting, predatory microtransactions like Minecoins
Or Robux
there’s another reason Java always beats that corporate abomination pretending to be Minecraft, Bedrock
43% in that category is a lot, though.
Id love to play Palworld with my kids
Teaching next generations of Palworld
They can play Terraria and Ultrakill too
Love it or hate it, kids spending time playing games with their parents is an area pokemon is very strong in rn
There won’t be a Switch in my house, or any console
Huh? Isn't the switch 1's demographic mainly between 18-24 years old?
Kids in the 5 - 12 years old range match the numbers of people being 44 years old and it just drops massively from there.

The nefarious fake download url
Wait... just saw the Nov 12th announcement. why is Pocketpair working with Krafton? The company who screwed the Subnautica 2 Devs and are devoted to using AI to replace its employees?
Because they started development before any of that happened
The mobile version entered closed testing period on nov 17th I think
Hope it goes well. I don't really do mobile games.
Not a fan of Krafton, but I still wish Pocketpair the best.
It's unfortunate but sadly, it's not really possible to predict what would happen in the mean time
That doesn’t change anything like at all.
One advantage the switch does have is that it’s not uncommon for there to be more than one of them in a household.
I’m not sure why you find this so far fetched.
I see plenty of families playing nintendo games together, not really anything else.
Well, none of my nephew's friends are into pokemon. And tbh, Kids seem to be more into Roblox and Fortnite than anything else
It’s generally accepted it’s the family console
Need to have more families playing Palworld together
Then there's the Roblox "experiences" just straight copying the gameplay
And more families using a PC over any console
Roblox is dominating especially with young kids
I mean, going by the stuff you posted, seems to confirm that
All the consoles are made and controlled by giant monopolistic corporations
||It’s kind of why Robox needs to do better with child safety||
About that....they see it as "opportunities"
It’s pretty disgusting
Yet they will be boycotted into the ground if they violate player privacy by using invasive age verification
Hard to say, but that isn’t the solution anyway.
A lot of folks just give their kid a tablet and let them have at it.
Roblox has been literally protecting people they shouldn’t.
43% just asking for p2w money is just sad tbh
It’s not just p2w money if PSN and the like are in there, that just means an interest in digital games.
But it’s probably safe to say it’s mostly vbucks and robux
I don't think In-game currency includes PSN
Or steam balance
But not sure how they categorized it, if at all.
it specifically said that was included
So its kind of a big mashup number unless ESA posted a drill down somewhere
EU consumer protection laws probably define them as something different
Console sales overall are up yoy in the US, but every pre-existing console is down, so the Switch 2’s launch is displacing everybody rn as well as being the driver for the growth.
Being actually available evidently helps
There might be in my house, but that all is going to depend on Nintendo’s actions and behavior.
I'm not sure if counting xbox matters at all
I wont allow Nintendo slop in my home
Since everything is an xbox I guess
Xbox is actually still selling to an extent in the US but it’s down by a lot.
And it seem they are going to get yet another price hike
I won’t mind Xbox and PlayStation consoles, but for now Nintendo is a maybe.
PS5 is down a bit but it’s also 5yo. Though it’s on sale rn so we’ll see where that goes.
Since xbox noped out, the only real competition is the 5 years old ps5
Switch 1 is way down but that’s also cause of the Switch 2
Japan is a whole different story
Eh, I think that's more because of saturation
Xbox sellong like single digits
Always
They never really managed to enter the japanese market
Should've sold xboxes along with kfc
It was slowing down anyway last year but Nintendo still has the most popular unit.
In install base
The Switch 2 is priced fair there, so it's no surprise
PS5 reportedly is getting some help now that they’re doing the same thing in Japan.
Because they were just priced out of that market
Wonder how much of a boost, if any, Sony is going to get from xbox noping out
I should find a recent weekly hardware sales for Japan to illustrate how bad it is.
It's crazy what buying activision does to a mf
And BO7...er
They oughta be shut down tbh
Complicated release
Criminal negligence of the highest order
ugh
They should shut down.
Is not really helping meet the payout Microsoft execs are "requesting"
It's a miracle it broke 500 
PS5 price just kept going up in Japan because of the weak yen and it destoryed them in that market
Playstation’s head was like “we really shouldn’t just leave this market behind” and are making a locked down jp ps5 that’s cheaper (probably sold at a loss).
Basically copying Nintendo.
I think It's a little too late tbh
Eh, not really
Like half way into the system’s life cycle
Xbox on the other hand, yeah they never did well in Japan.
I forget Sony tends to keep life cycles a lot longer
There’s still a good chunk of PSN’s monthly active users on PS4 and that thing is 12 years old.
PS3 still can play multiplayer and that one never needed the subscription.
Yeah...it was all before the dark times
They wanted to shut down the online for it a while back, but then backed off.
Nintendo needs to release a phone some day 
Gaming handhelds were deemed to be dead due to the rise of mobile, but the Switch turned out to be the correct answer for that problem. Handhelds were always their bread and butter even when their consoles weren’t.
But Nintendo does sell mobile games like fire emblem and animal crossing
With the traditional mobile monetization
That FE amogus game was a disaster
It still raked in billions, lol
But, mobiles games are finally catching up to 10 years ago games in terms of complexity I guess
No, it didn't.
Hence why it was a disaster
The other FE game did well though
It's the one that had the amongus elements that flopped
Okay, so a billion
gotcha
Super Mario Run was like “$10 bucks to unlock the whole game and no MTX” and the mobile crowd fucking hated it.
They screamed about spending $10 on an app
😔
It made way less money than all of nintendo’s gatcha shit
So yeah
Palworld Mobile would be stupid not to do that.

Black ops 6 being there but not Black ops 7 is funny
Right?
A new COD would always take the top spot immediately every year with like… very few exceptions.
BF6 killing it though
I guess EA realized they wouldn't have any other games if they killed BF
Oh nvm this is just through Oct, so Black Ops 7 wasn’t out yet
Aw
We’ll have to wait on that

Why am I not surprised with this? Nvidia has record earnings, but a lot of people are urging caution with the current state of AI.
The stock market is enormously overvalued right now and nVidia is basically the primary driver of that.
So the institutions are just gonna play the speculators while it’s hot.
That's true. We will have to see how far everything will fall once the AI Bubble pops.
That’s gonna be terrifying
Yes. I have a feeling it will overshadow even the Dot-Com Bubble in the 90's. There are a lot more businesses using AI than there were businesses online back then.
Let's just hope us ordinary folk will not suffer too many problems when it does go.
I don’t even want to think about it
Switching to a different topic, have you heard the newest updates about the crash of UPS flight 2976?
Is that the one that blew up?
The one that lost an engine on takeoff.
They released new images of the accident showing how the engine ripped itself off the MD-11F's wing.
In fact, the way the events played out bears an uncanny resemblance to the crash of American Airlines flight 191 back in 1979.
Not enough speed tape or something?
The rear part of the engine pylon that attaches to the wing failed, causing the engine itself to rotate violently on its other two hinges before ripping itself off of the wing. When that happened with AA 191, the result was that it destroyed the leading edge of the wing and ripped open hydraulic lines that helped control vital moving parts on the aircraft. I am 99% sure this is what happened with UPS 2976 as well.
Wonder if they're doing the same (wrong) engine swapout/maintenance procedure again.
All the similarities between both crashes are as follows:
Both AA 191 and UPS 2975 were 3-engine jumbo jets having the third engine mounted in the tail.
Both engines that fell off were on the left wing.
It was the rear part of the engine pylon that failed.
Both engines arced themselves over the wing before flying off.
From the looks of the UPS flight, it appears the engine's dismount destroyed the leading edge of the wing and broke hydraulic lines just like in AA 191's case.
The loss of this one engine and the damage sustained from it resulted in both aircraft crashing in just a few moments after takeoff.
We will have to wait and see if the reason for this failure was just because the MD-11F serving as UPS 2976 was old or if there were maintenance shortcuts being taken that damaged the engine pylon like in AA 191's case. However, no matter how you look at it, the elements of the accidents between both AA 191 and UPS 2976 bears an uncanny resemblance.
The MD-11 remains as cursed as always
It was actually the DC-10 that was cursed. It was also the model of aircraft that served AA 191.
Both were a major reason why the company no longer exists
It's a bit of shame, tbh
Interesting. I have not heard of the MD-11 being as infamous as its DC-10 cousin. 
The MD80/90 are pretty good
Maybe I'm mixing them up
It is easy to mix them up. They look very similar to one another.
There are some issues, I know FedEx had to do a "new" training program for them because pilots were forced to land at a high pitch, and didn't know if/when their front wheels were on the ground, which caused a few issues with "bouncing" when they'd slam the front down hard thinking they were already on the ground (and thus would just be forcing the wings to apply pressure down, helping with breaking).

hello, how do i appeal a server ban (i was banned in another server and i have nobody added from there)
You dont
You'll have to get in contact with someone on the server, preferably an Admin/Moderator
Moderators are incapable of forgiveness
Best bet is to join/make a server without draconian restriction on speech
damn

@odd mesa
Why is this a daily question?
How can one server help with a ban in a completely different server?

Here is something interesting in the field of power generation.
It looks like we are one step closer to being able to build working Battletech 'mechs. 😅
commercial nuclear fusion sounds terrifying
Well, at least if the reactor has a major problem, it will not contaminate a large area with radioactive fallout.
nah just blow it up
Does that really matter? Just look at Nagasaki and Hiroshima.
Will die in a nuclear fusion inferno instead of a radioactive fission inferno
They are still problem areas today because of nuclear fallout from much heavier radioactive elements. Fusion only uses hydrogen, the simplest element on the periodic table. The only real radioactive isotope is Tritium, and, with a half-life of 12.32 years and being a gas that could potentially escape Earth's atmosphere entirely, it is among the least offensive elemental radioactive isotopes on the list. Similarly unoffensive are the helium atoms that hydrogen fuses into; all known radioactive helium isotopes decay away in just seconds. Compare that to the main fuel source of traditional nuclear reactors, namely Uranium-235 & -238, of which are solid metal and have half-lives of 704 million and 4.463 billion years.
I mean, that's what you deserve for not being content with what nature provides.
We need vacuum energy batteries
Or even better, tap the source of big bang energy from the start of this universe
That's just the property of emergence. But, people don't like the idea of 1+1 = 3.
Tell that to the people at the World's fair in 1901.
Something breached the fabric of space and an immense amount of energy came out
Ummmmmmmmmmm, before the big bang, there was NO space.
Because time didn't start yet.
Were you there to know?
It's called spacetime for a reason.
If time didn't start, then neither did space.
It's called spacetime because we name it that
Well, we have an idea to harness the power of the solar wind, and it is deceptively simple: a copper wire several tens of meters long to magnetically funnel the particles into a sphere made of material that produces an electrical charge. This concept is capable of generating a few megawatts of electricity per hour. Scaling the wire up to a full kilometer has the capability to produce tens of gigawatts in a year.
The only problem is we don't have a method to transport that energy back to earth yet.
Or just, a Dyson's Sphere.
We are a very long time away from being able to do this.
The universe isn't even locally real. You can make a case for nothing actually existing.
Until teleportation becomes a thing. Then space is irrelevant.
I'll tell you a secret, how I know it is real
My true question with is concept is where all the energy in the universe came from beforehand.
But you already know
The property of emergence. It's not hard.
So doesn't time. Did you forget what happens crossing an event horizon?
I've never crossed an event horizon
Irrelevant. If you're going to have an actual conversation, then stop acting like a woman.
Hardly
"I've never gone skiiing, so how am I supposed to know what happens whilst skiing?"
You measure time using atomic decay, and it is hard to divorce thought from looking at time as a measurement, not a real thing
................atomic decay is a physical phenomenon. That's like saying I measure hunger by how much I consume. Like, no shit, Sherlock Homeslice.
It's still not real, any more than a centimeter is real
The only real question that hasn't been answered is why relative position in space and velocity affects the rate of atomic decay
"The meter is the length of the path travelled by light in vacuum during a time interval of 1/299,792,458 of a second."
Divide that by 100, and you get a centimeter.
and
Our metrics are based on physical phenomenon. They are "real".
This isn't akin to "gods are only gods because that's what we call them".
No
Cope harder.
Again time isn't physically real
If time isn't "real", than neither is "space". They are inherently connected.
I dispute that connection
With what evidence? Do tell.
Because we can traverse space.
If we couldn't traverse space, then there would be no time.
I can walk to the shop, doesn't mean time is real
Again, cope harder.
You think because you can physically move from one point in space to another that time is real
I fail to see why
It doesn't have to be ME.
It proves nothing, other than you moved x distance
An atom, a quark, whatever can traverse that space.
So can a potato
Did you know time actually slows down when it is in the vicinity of any mass? When GPS was being put out, engineers found out their satellites were being affected by a very minute speedup in how fast time moves out in orbit. Because of this, all GPS satellites in service today have programming to account for this. If this measure was not taken, all GPS satellites would quit working after a few days.
"It just exists"
"It's an emergent property"
Lack of data, lack of ability and technology to figure out what is happening, "it just is", that is called magic, and it'll be disproved as soon as someone figures out how
Yeah the clocks were out of sync
It's still not understood how that happens, just that it does
Bro even forgot the Swordsmen phenomenon.
What is the mechanism, the method by which matter bends space at a seemingly impossible angle while slowing down atomic decay relative to other locations?
EMERGENCE IS A PROPERTY OF THE UNIVERSE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=16W7c0mb-rE
How can many stupid things combine to form smart things? How can proteins become living cells? How become lots of ants a colony? What is emergence?

When that is answered i'll start accepting explanations, other than "It just is"
"Emergence" has to some from somewhere
The Big Bang........?
Can't get energy and matter from nothing, because there's nothing to make it out of
Something vastly more complicated is going on, and it's beyond our capacity to understand, for now
Sure, there's always more to learn and discover.
I like mysteries, I don't accept rug sweeping
Plato's Cave IS a huge place.
Have you studied the double slit experiment?
And that is the case. Just because we don't know doesn't mean we will never find out. Until we do make that discovery, we are stuck with what we already know.
No, I just said that space isn't locally real for no reason.
It has an evil cousin
The first step in science, OBSERVATION?
Oh, I gotta hear this one..
Turns out, if you erase the data gathered from the direct observation of the experiment without anyone looking at it and check the screen, you get the interference pattern
They did a double blind check on this
You can't erase things without observing what you erase. And tools are just extensions of ourselves.
Trying to get Quantum Mechanics involved? That is a can of worms not even the smartest among the human race properly understands.
It's worse than that
Sure, bud. Do tell.
You don't get it yet
Speaking in riddles, and I don't understand? Wow. What a concept.
Particles appearing and disappearing, single particles appearing in multiple places at once, cats that can only decide whether or not they are alive or dead, how is it worse than those concepts?
The outcome of the double slit experiment is always an interference pattern when the electron is not measured
The room the expiriment is taking place in IS measured.
When you use a method to detect which slit the electron passes through
You get what you expect
Now
You mean our reality is based on our perceptions? NO WAYYYYYYYYYY
They tried this, but they used a method to erase the data gathered from directly measuring which slit the electron passed through without checking the recorded data
And every time they erased evidence, they found the interference pattern
"It's easy to imagine, but it's easier to just do. Cause, if you can't do what you imagine, then what is imagination to you?" - Kid Cudi
Tools are only extensions of our will.
Here is a recent example of this experiment that has been stripped down all the way to the quantum level. I first heard about it from Anton Petrov.
Or, you're 11.
The outcome seems to change AFTER the event, depending on whether anyone looks at the results, not observing directly as it happens
If they erase evidence of the results without looking, the outcome is always the interference pattern
It's retroactively changing, violating causality in an impossible manner
Causality is confirmation bias.
That's not how fusion works
Sounds like a Fallout fanboy response. Good job.
You can literally bomb a fusion reactor and the bomb you dropped on it will make a bigger explosion than the reactor being destroyed
I'm a little late to say that but I don't care
Fair
Friend of mine wouldn't stop nitpicking halo 5 over it so now it's your problem
Halo 5?
When has the rules governing reality not been? There was once a physics experiment in the 19th century that completely broke down all the physics rules at the time because we were trying to explain how the thermodynamics in an oven worked.
In other words, there was a time where ovens broke physics. How is that not any scarier than what we have with Quantum Mechanics?
The Amish building a fireless fireplace
In like the 4th mission in halo 5 campaign you overload a fusion reactor to destroy a covenant armada and my friend wouldn't shut up about how a fusion reactor would not do that
Found the troll.
Anecdotes.
In halo 2 my friends back then made massive arena's and whole gametypes using forge, halo 3 forge threw it all away
Fireplaces are always fireless until someone starts a fire
Forge in Halo 2? Yeah, now you're getting blocked.
They had a "budget" with everything "cost" x currency for objects you placed in a map
And they also had object limits
They don't produce heat, tho. The Amish's do.
12 boxes or 11 big panels?, over budget, you couldn't build anything significant
But you could have 300 traffic cones
Thanks halo 3 forge
Fun?, what's that, now have matchmaking, mlg and people with the aim of god
lol I actually got blocked

you're not on le dijimon server
Ah il remove it then my b just thought i.d share it for any fans of the series here
no
I mean like, why don't you join a digimon server too
if you're already a fan of digimon
Havent found one suprisngly
there's a handful of discord digimon servers, I'm personally on the Digimon Discord Community one.
it's not that high traffic one but you can have some quality conversations about your favorite digimon stuff.
Nice (sorry for any slow replies idk whats going with my data being slow i havent used all of it)
no worries.
Oki
Honestly i am glad digimon is stil doing well cause for a good couple of years i didnt hear anything about it
Digimon is allowed in off-topic
Neat
Cheap ass gamer posted a sale of physical Time Stranger ultimate edition for $90 or thereabouts
If anyone wants all that mtx nonsense in it. 
Hm, deal already sold out, rip
digimon is on the rise every now and again, they do their TCG too, 'soon' there's gonna be an at least mobile version of the TCG digitally
@ThePrimeagen Microsoft news of the same week:
- Windows will now be AI OS
- We can't fix file manager
I'm glad I'm still on windows 10
it's super mind boggling, what's happening at microsoft, it feels like they just hired a bunch of new interns and those interns are learning to code right now.
Almost
They hired a bunch of artificial interns
And those artificial interns are only using bits and pieces of knowing how to code properly to do the code
Which yeah I guess that would be a management issue
Vibe coding bots
Miss Managament is the name of their Management lead.
Armies they have laid off and ordered to use defective weapons to fight an enemy that happens to be their own code
a friend of mine I'm playing Payday 2 with, has constant crashes and has to restart his PC a bunch of times every time, and we kinda suspect it's because of win 11, I'm on win 10 with no issues.
I played the game on Windows 10 for the longest time and it loved crashing all the time with no mods installed. I'm willing to bet it's the game's stability, the fact that it's 32 bit and it's on the Diesel engine.
we adjusted all of the settigns to be similar, I think I've personally only had a single crash so far.
I'm still attempting to install it, I will check in January again to give it another try.
So question for everyone, who all knows about this game besides me?:
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1387621858978959443/1442544441830408305/IMG_9649.png?ex=6925d1b4&is=69248034&hm=8f8a42800887dcdb896a0394f8578da2d4bd28daf1234d2f0379cbbe61facb54&
If they're so inclined to do so, maybe downloading The Fixes mod could be a good idea for them. Also, keep in mind the game crashes when the texture quality is set to high on certain maps since they were never optimized for that graphics setting.
Everybody knows
Oh really?
Yeah pretty much, didnt it win like PlayStation game of the month for October or something?

I actually played the demo for it and I found it fun, of course I can’t play any more of it at the moment until I purchase it on Steam (which I’m going to).
I saw it 10% off on PlayStation, might be on sale on Steam too since it’s a seasonal sale rn
I liked the demo too, but damn $70 is rediculous, I have a decent backlog I don’t need to burn that much money in this economy
Hell I might just go back to saving money, I heard about the GPUs or whatever skyrocketing in price because of AI, and if those are $500 per now it seems like the steam machine will be way out of my price range anyways until this AI bubble bursts, and I think it’s also affecting water too because of the cooling?
dram is skyrocketing too
Nope there’s no sale going for Digimon Story: Time Stranger, I just checked Steam.
$120 for the fucking ultimate edition?
Hmm, I guess I have enough of a backlog too. 
That looks like it’s for the PlayStation store, cause the demo for it is free on Steam too.
Wait so I’m paying at least $70 for the game, and there’s still micro transactions?
Yea
Well I know what I’m taking off my wishlist fuck digimon
