I can’t even say what H.P Lovecraft’s dad named the family cat

night plume
#

I didn't know he had a cat and I just looked it up....
Omg....

glad needle
#

Yea, that’s why I had to point out in fairness, Lovecraft was too young to have named the cat himself

#

His dad named the cat

#

Although, lets be real, having a cat with an unspeakable name is textbook Lovecraft

Didn't know his dad named it, but I mean H.P himself did write some racist stuff at one point so ehhh...

#

And I bet you money the cat was an absolute sweetheart despite the name

#

Yeah it's not the cat's fault </3

glad needle
#

Even if they tried to rename him later, he’d only understand and respond to the original name

#

I think we have an older cat who had a different name before we adopted her, can't remember what it was but it was a very silly name haha, we renamed her "Trouble" because she's naughty!

#

Walks off with socks and stuff, she's a cuddly baby though cat_happy love her so much

His dad was just the prime suspect

Hmm... probably my favourite animals. I love snails and slugs, they can be pets, ferrets and weasels are very cute too

I wouldn't mind a birb either, we recently found a lost rainbow lorikeet in the park (we think he went back to his owner, at least we hope) and since then I've been smitten with those lovely birds

If he's the one we heard about was lost, his name is "Skittles" which is the cutest and funniest thing ever

Oh wait, I just had a good idea for a Raccoon Pal. Make them wear a funny black mask over their face. That way they can really be considered a little burglar. Although, I guess Leezpunk can fit that criteria, but it would at least give the Raccoon Pal a bit of personality. Considering irl raccoons tend to dig through bins and areas for food and loot. It could work. And it's a simple idea that while a bit cliché at least works fine. What do you think?

Could have them carry around a small garbage can. Instead of running or attacking the olayer, they hide in it and it shakes.

I mean, at this point, it doesn't even seem like we can "extort" them by using products or services that lose a big corporation money. Like youtube and twitch don't turn a profit at all, but they are still being run by those, it's also probably likely that instead of it being a detriment they turn user numbers and usage of the product/service into ass licking in the investor meetings to get fake money from fake people to fuel fake promises.

The consumer can't win here with trying to sabotage those big corpos in that way.

Well actually youtube does make a killer profit, they just report the profit under some other service to make it seem expensive so they can cry about adblockers

ah okay, good to know that.

I think they report the ad revenue as general google adsense revenue even though it is literally coming specifically from Youtube

#

Like, idk man, if I see an ad on a youtube video, I think that means youtube generated the revenue on that ad, because if I wasn't on youtube, I would not have seen it

#

AI also generates some profit, just not an amount that can ever ever even come close to justifying how much compute they want, and how much money they're spending on it

# solid sun didn't you know that palworld got ruined because they had to change the way you ...

For context regarding gliding: it was specifically the appearance & the utility of gliding.

While one can still glide, you actually need a glider currently, whereas previously before one of palworlds old updates, tamers didn't need a glider if they had a pal like galeclaw, killamari, hangyu, etc. acting as the defacto glider while in your party without actually needing a glider. (which helped with managing inventory weight a little beforehand.)

#

After that update, tamers actually need a glider equipped, and the aforementioned pals only affect the way the glider performs rather than being used as the glider. (which sucks as I liked using the respective pals as a glider & hope it makes a return post-litigation, leaving it at that.)

what's the reason we do not have that high of buildings?
Is it because there are no monopolies that could buy up the land for those kind of interconnected structures, or is it because physics that we have not been able to make or create a material or compound mix of materials that would even be able to hold up a structure of that size?

There's no reason to have a thousand floors in a building. Aside from massive fire risk, the costs involved, that it would take far longer to build than 100x 10 floor buildings for the same floor area...
Who would want a half-hour/hour or longer elevator ride up to their floor? What benefit does being that high up have for workers? Residents? Think about the garage chute you'd have...

teal iron
#

If you build a sandcastle more than a few feet high, the sand at the bottom just crumbles into a pile and all of it follows

#

Steel is obviously much much stronger than sand, but it also has limits

jaunty kraken
teal iron
#

at a certain point, even steel will buckle and collapse

#

like, even if the building is made entirely of solid steel, not just a steel frame

#

and a solid steel structure has the obvious issue that, what are you even going to do, it's solid so that means no building interior

#

Steel frames have a much lower limit, and when you factor wind force it gets even worse, the beams at the bottom have to withstand basically exponentially greater strain with every floor you add

#

And you CAN just make them thicker, and use clever engineering to control forces, but like
100 stories of steel is 100 stories of steel and something has to hold up all of that metal

#

and once you pass like 50 stories you start going into the point where steel is not strong enough to hold up that much steel

#

plus, elevator service, if the elevator has to service like 100 floors then that means each floor only gets the elevator 1% of the time

#

And then plumbing
Gravity wants water to go down, and to make it go up you need more pump power for every inch you want it to go above sea level

#

So to get a shower working on floor 100 you need like a giant pump in the basement forcing immense pressure into the pipe network

#

and the bigger the building, that just means even more stuff

#

There's a skyscraper, maybe two or three, in new york that are literally completely empty because there's no one rich enough who wants to live in them

humble parrot
#

Ground also has be able to support the building, not just the materials it's made of

teal iron
#

yeah this usually isn't too much of an issue because you can just drive deeper pylons

#

and most places where we would do this kind of construction, the soil is pretty well known

#

although there is (or was, I think they fixed it by now?) a skyscraper in San Francisco (or was it LA?) that they found out after it was built, that the clay underground was too soft and weak to support its weight, and it started slanting.

humble parrot
#

Happens to a lot of things

#

You can only put so much mass on a single point before something breaks

teal iron
#

it has a lot to do with the soil, and then you also have to deal with, all soil will settle at least a little bit

#

that's why a lot of construction projects take a long time, they have to account for that and let it happen

#

Also why you hear a ka-thunk when you drive onto a bridge
The road before the bridge settled a bit over time, while the bridge stayed still (or vice versa)

# teal iron And then plumbing Gravity wants water to go down, and to make it go up you need ...

Pumping water up isn't hard; just need a pump every few floors to push it up another few.
Problem is more usage; say a floor needs 1 sq cm of water pipe, 1000 floors means your initial pipe size is 1000 sq cm. Plus you need the pump for that, so that's a ton of space and power, and you'd want duplicates so if one fails you don't lose all water pressure/supply...
You'd probably want many redundant systems because if one fails, you really don't want to be 3000m up without power or water.

#

Eventually, with a building so high, you'd have the lower floors be 100% support for the upper floors...

solid sun
#

just only let poor people live on the bottom floors who can't pay for water, so you have to put in less piping.

teal iron
#

Or maybe put them on the top so you don't need all the pumps

Cut the expensive pipe

solid sun
#

rich people can pay for those pumps

teal iron

Yeah but make them pay less for the easy water

#

The rich stay richer
It's basic economics

Being at the top also means less mobility because the only way to interact with the world is a long elevator ride so you can CONTROL the people at the top easily

Here is something very disconcerting. According to Anton Petrov, our low-orbit satellites are at the point of being able to be affected by the Kessler Syndrome within three days. If something goes wrong up there, the STARLINK Network is going to get torn to shreds, and we will not be able to fix it if it does go wrong.

Like I said
Criminal negligence

#

Although one could argue the totally unorganized and unsafeguarded array of multi billion dollar machines flying all over orbit, and the endless clouds of hypersonic paint chips and loose metal shards is criminal negligence for which many more countries are responsible

#

Which is why we need a way to clean orbit
It doesn't matter if no more satellites die, there's too much debris as it is

#

And everyone who's ever put anything in space has probably contributed at least one of those dead satellites to the growing mountain of junk in orbit

You can theoretically get 2 unrelated German shepherds, but it’s no easy task

fair enough, but either way purebreeding, esp to get certain traits outta an animal, can lead to offspring being born with alotta recessive traits

and the chances of getting those traits increase exponentially with each generation, esp if you end up inbreeding, which is one of the many reasons inbreeding is bad

the problem I have with it, is when people say it enhances performance, which it doesn't, it introduces input lag no matter how small, and it creates visual ghosting and the frames it generates are fake, they are not made by the game, so what happens on those is not happening in the game.

Entertainment isn't a static experience. I play a game today I might not be able to or even want to play tomorrow. There are a lot of shows, movies, books, etc that I've experienced, that I either don't want to or am unable to see anymore, and tomorrow there will be new stuff that I didn't have access to yesterday. I don't cry about what I can't have anymore, when there's so much to enjoy now that I won't ever even have enough time to.

#

You're wasting time you could be enjoying something new by complaining about something you probably wouldn't even be playing if you even could.

For example, if a player were stuck on a puzzle in an Uncharted game, the “Guide Mode” would seemingly present an AI-controlled Nathan Drake demonstrating the solution, before the player did it themselves. The “Complete Mode” would simply complete the section for the player.

Modes in games that assist with puzzles and combat challenges are common. Many games will allow players to skip encounters or lower the difficulty if they find them too challenging, and puzzle games often include a hint system for those who are completely stuck.```

I mean racing games have managed to implement 'ghosts' for a long time now, at least since the N64 if not earlier than that even.
Celeste has a ghost section.
Dark Souls seeing other players is technically a ghost feature.

It doesn't need to involve AI.
Devs could very well already program in a recorded inputted footage of them solving it.
TAS exist as well, simple pre-programmed inputs to play the game like a MIDI music file.

I personally don't know what these people have been doing in the time since their last published game, so I can't say how they got paid for what work they did during that time.

Like honestly, the way big corporations work is really strange to me, if you don't have a title you're constantly needing your workforce for, or have those people constantly work on new things, why not just go with contract hires instead of full employments.

A lot less of a hassle to deal with tbh, unless you HAVE to have the people working for you use some sort of standardised software or other kind of structured coding habits.

Most animation studios have a lot of outsourcing, which is especially noticable in some of the best OPening movies for anime, where you see a ton of different scenes, those are usually done by a dozen of artists to get a complete thing done, not just by a single person.

for some reason game companies and people on youtube fearmonger about loading screens.

I enjoy pc gaming, with my gamepad. I just want my pc to be a glorified better console.
modern consoles are just worse PCs, backin the day, a PC offered a different enough experience to consoles where you mostly mouse and keyboard gamed, and were playing RTS or other games featuring point and click which were more of a hassle on a console, like zoo tycoon or something.

But ever since consoles wanted to be always online and require you to download more stuff from the online store, it became just a worse experience that didn't interest me anymore, at the same time, emulation and controller support first party on PC became more established too, so I didn't have to have the latest modern console anymore.
