Physics isn't too hard when... oh right, everything is easy when you already understand it. Crap

We are all victims of physics.

But knowing how it works lets you abuse the way it works more easily!

For example, if I jump on this crate and press "push" several hundred times in a second, newton's third law will propel me into outer space

Anyway, mini-rant: I don't know how, but I am absolutely baffled by this. Every single damn site I looked at couldn't solve a god forsaken Trigonometry problem, but apparently, against the stupidest odds ever, the dusty 5-year old calculator in my shelves took care of it no problem. I don't even know what to say, but am I glad I at least got the answer I was after

uneven sierra
#

I’m so sorry that you had to go through this @sudden cairn! But I’m so happy to hear that you solved the issue! einar_pleased

It's a good thing I actually did keep this thing around

Considering the rise of story-writing AI, we're probably close to phones being able to do that

Yea. Sadly, the Pre-alpha storm had people move here, too

people leaked pre-alpha stuff im guessing?

Nah, a different situation

Longstory short, chat got flooded, many gifs/images flew through, some were kinda "Wait what"-inducing, and I guess permissions got reduced a bit because of it

Anyway, back off-topic, math is fun! Well, when you got machines that can do it for you properly.

Just realized a silly observation

#

Palia chat goes off-topic

Yeah, it's pretty much impossible to keep things right

#

At least, as far as these two channels go.

limber bay
#

Yeah I know Im joking

#

Haven't done any math in ages

#

as in complex stuff

#

Calculus or Trig etc

Since I'm doing KSP, it's mandatory I do actual number nonsense to figure out how to set things up right

As mentioned some time before my most enjoying experience in BDO was producing stuff and gather things. then use my noble wagon or ship to haul them around and do some trading.
Also farming was nice during work from home.
I bet that's the reason you can minimize the game into tray.
Only killing I did was hunting while wood gathering.
Burnt myself out a bit while trying to upgrade my ships, though.
I may have to look up at which part I stopped.
Sailboat, trade ship, trade ship T2 maybe. A nice ship, though.

for me, i was a huge RS fan, i mainly did the life skills like wood cutting and what not. and questing what i could. Ill do combat, but i dont do PVP much anymore compared to when i was younger

but for SOT, ive been with that game since beta.... but i never made it to legendary pirate lol

fierce igloo
#

Played during alpha on SoT, pirate legend three times over, and now i just sail for the fun of it and the trade runs.

#

my friends call me the master behind the wheel. if we enter combat, go to dock up at an outpost. or need some super tricky sailing down, i am on the wheel.

#

i am also a great shot on the cannons. but not so great in melee combat

#

I love sot but i hate dealing with other players

#

Im terrible at pvp and since there is no way for me to avoid it it made it the game not made for.me

Luckily i found sailwind, singleplayer only which i wish i could play with friends but the turn on of no trolls more than makes up for that for me

⚠️ IMPORTANT ⚠️

I wanted to let everyone know that if you find any free nitro links from Discord in any of your servers or dm DO NOT click on it! It’s a widespread scam that’s going on. I got this announcement from an administrator that’s from one of my servers and I wanted to notify you all. Please stay safe out there. rainbow_heart

In addition to, this is what my friend said:

*A helpful tip in addition to this: proofread your links! There is no such thing as “discrod”

The scammers spell things slightly differently and hope you don’t notice cause discord already exists and they can’t use the same name*

Ohmygosh I love this one commercial in Japan
It's so cute, but it's of a guy spreading out old pictures of him and his wife
The wife comes back from grocery shopping and accidentally spills a cup of coffee he was drinking
They fret and get sad over the picture but the husband suggests going for a drive
They take the same picture at the same location and get ice cream hehe
It's so heccin cute

#

all I know of the lawsuits has come from a handful of articles, but as a WoW player since the good old vanilla days, i'm actually hopeful that this will let them rehabilitate it. i've not been a fan of how it's turned the last few years but if they give the creatives some freedom like with Halo, roll back some of that corporate management, it could be really good for the franchise and its fans.

Random reminder to drink your water! :D every little bit counts and levels up your h e l t h skills <3

obtuse wraith
#

Slight addition to "Microsoft owns Minecraft": Microsoft technically bought out Mojang entirely which means both Minecraft and whatever ips they had (as well as the workforce employed at Mojang) are under Microsoft as well

flat lake
#

Yeah, I don't think anyone had 'microsoft buys activision' on their bingo card, or horizon, given the complete dumpster fire it has become since last august

obtuse wraith
#

Tbh if it's a small enough studio, it's probably worth it to buy it after becoming a dumpster fire

#

They get whatever games they had as well as the employees, which they can then put onto teams for their larger IPs

flat lake
#

Yeah, but you can't call Activision/Blizzard/King a small purchase, or a small dumpster fire, lol

obtuse wraith
#

That's a very good point

#

BUT the dumpster fire probably makes it much cheaper to buy vs a time when Blizzard had a good reputation

flat lake
#

yeah, things like this take time to set up, I'd be curious to know if the talks started before or after August

obtuse wraith
#

I'm curious about that too

flat lake
#

just for my own popcorn eating pleasure, you understand

obtuse wraith
#

Absolutely

flat lake
#

but the whole reason I brought it up was because I know that some of S6 devs came from Blizzard, and got out several years ago, and have gotten some others from there, and riot, and some really bad culture companies

#

so I'm hoping that they have systems in place (or are considering what they need for when they get big enough) to prevent the kind of abuses that are coming out now that have been industry wide for 40 years or more

#

its actually something I have been thinking about and concerned about for quite a while

I think the whole verse starting from 1:55 in Dandelion Girls, Dandelion Boys really hits like a gutpunch

Oh shit, so it's that kinda movie. I bawled so hard that I refuse to ever see it again.

I don't think it affected me as bad as it would if I read it now

#

Back when I did read it, it was because of a class assignment, so I probably didn't feel that much towards it or think about it too much

limpid yacht
#

I think I was 13, when I saw it first or maybe even younger. How old were you when doing the class assignment?

slate cave
#

Somewhere in my teens, I think. Around 15, maybe?

#

I might've still been in a phase where I wasn't that empathetic

limpid yacht
#

Oh, when I was that age I would not handle that well.

limpid yacht
#

As I'm aging, I'm noticing I (sometimes and slowly) start to care less.

slate cave
#

I think I was a really emotional kid, then in my teens I started walling myself off to "seem cool" or something like that, maybe?
I had some untreated mental issues as well, so that might've contributed.
Nowadays, I'm a lot more open again

limpid yacht
#

Oh holy, were you so good at "faking" it you, at some point, convinced yourself you actually felt that way?

#

Good to see you're doing better now!

hot bluff
#

So I'm working on two kinda simultaniously because I'm sorta stuck with both for various reasons.

The first is a Heroes Unlimited Game (Superheroes) that is a world of my own design.

The setting is mostly free form right now. The group is part of a 'superhero group' who go out and do superhero things alongside normal things for the time being. Right now it's more or less a "getting to know the world and how it works" since the world is predominantly Magi-tech so like cellphones have energy crystals they power off of and charge and your car doesn't quite run on gasoline.

They've run into a few main villains so far:
-A demon lord who is trying to break through a magic barrier and take over the world (basic demon lord stuff)

  • A punisher like teen girl who was the daughter of the serial killer they apprehended in the first campaign and who they found "frozen solid, as if the ice age happened instantly where he stood" in the third after said serial killer escaped. Her becoming a hero or major villain will likely be described by the players actions
    and finally
  • An alien from another planet who has decided he wanted to be Superman: Red Son... It's... been interesting for him.

I'm more at the debate where how much longer should I pull out the main campaign story right now. Like next session will be finishing up stuff but at the same time should I give them more time to feel things or initiate "Operation: Explosions start the real game"

slate cave
#

Earlier I almost started crying again because I was remembering another song called "Salt, Pepper, Birds, and the Thought Police" (also by Mili), which is about the Korean poet Yun Dong-Ju, who was imprisoned during the Japanese colonialisation of Korea, I believe.
The line was "I saw a version of heaven where I sat in my yard, reading a paperback print of my book."
It made me think a lot about how much suffering had to be inflicted and endured to get to where we are now

Sweet, what languages do you use to build HUG? The story line sounds sweet, I love hero games (bad english). OOOoohhhh magi tech, the best kinda tech.

I like that there's a teen villain, sounds sweet!!! Alien dude sounds hilarious, in a good way.

To be honest, if I were you, I'd end up working on the game forever and never being content with the result lol. However you seem like you got the ropes in your hands.

Oh, your English isn't bad at all? What's your first language, if you don't mind me asking?

To be honest, my history and geography skills are really bad so I don't know where most countries are, or what their history is...

#

I can point out maybe five countries? I don't even know where England is, to be honest

hot bluff
#

Kinda yea on the slice of life thing because some of them actually have characters that are involved in "normal life' like police officering and magic-astrophysics stuff.

It's actually really good because some of them will be able to get information gathering based on the skills they chose for their characters to use and gain.

The teen villain, known as "Harbinger" is basically an anti-hero on the level of Punisher. She was left half dead by her father when he escaped considering her 'weakness' (complete BS that he came up with because sociopath) was why he was captured and he will only accept strength. She ended up somehow fusing with a strange ice spirit who healed her and basically they're working in symbiosis. They keep each other alive.

So after that she froze her father and is going after all villans who escape the law... And she's good at what she does, when you find the body you also find a LOT of evidence saying it was them.

She's also become the pet project of one of the characters who "believes that because she doesn't kill the innocent and that means she's still good and she can be saved!" I'm honestly thinking that his interactions with her will shape how she ends up. Like I don't see her as being a new awesome hero but more along the lines of Vegeta. She's not a good guy but she's on the same side as the good guys.

slate cave
#

I really like slice of life/roleplaying stuff in games like that

hot bluff
#

But I feel with him trying to hunt her down it feels appropreate to let him/the party have some sort of influence with her.

limpid yacht
#

I suck at roleplaying, however I like witnessing people pulling it off.

slate cave
#

But most of my parties haven't really been into it (or we've just had super different viewpoints)
To be honest, I think I'm just not really fit for tabletop RPGs or anything, because I feel bad for the DM when I kinda zone out during some segments. It's hard to keep everyone's attention when you have so many characters doing different things

#

It's really cool that you manage to work in their everyday lives with their superhero stuff though

Game itself isn't that bad, especially if you like mobas
But if you don't like mobas, you shouldn't play

The people can be pretty toxic as well

#

okay, i’ll look into it some more. i assume it’s region locked too right, so US can’t play with EU and vice versa?

#

Mhm mhm

#

But there's a lot of regions

#

You can make an account in each region if you wanted

compact olive

precisely.. its not region locked per-se, its just that characters are region specific

not worth playing cross region besidies maybe in the eu you can do west or whatever the other one is for less fortunate people EU NE

Just a warning for the moderators and admin.
A server I mod in just got raided and we got raided right when we only had one mod online
So just warning you guys in case something like that happens here

@limpid yacht Oh no, I did not know things like that even happen - hopefully you got it under control

limpid yacht

Yeah, it was a bot raid
And they dmed a bunch of the members to give them "free nitro" and stuff

It was rough lul

And only one mod was online so we had to leave it all up to them

#

With my limited amount of experience.. yes. YouTube, Twitch, other Discord servers, and Disboard seem to be the way to go.

wary dune
#

Where some discord servers don't like advertising of other discords - this one for example - it can make things hard .. suggestion for that situation is to put it in you profile. Anyone that looks at your profile then has any info they may need and if they're interested they can message you. No advertising in public chat, just relies on some people looking at your profile and messaging their friends to pass the word.

#

Second question lol. nothing about promoting or anything. My question is this: say you have members that have multiple roles. How does discord determine which of their multiple roles they show up as on the right side of the screen? Ultimately, I want to be able to determine how my members show up on the right side of the screen.

So this is a little bit more fleshed out DnD idea I had.

A quality of life update to a popular mmorpg accidentally created a bug, which led to various npcs, mobs and bosses gaining some kind of sentience. Unfortunately, an end game boss that was released along with the update also got corrupted by this bug the most, and became a completely evil being, The BBEG

Due to the setting in the world that all video games connect to one another now, this presents a problem as with this new bugged version of the BBEG can find a portal and travel to other games, spreading the bug and also his own power due to collecting insanely OP items for himself from the various games.

The story starts with x amount of heroes, ordinary video game players in different games that all are infected by the bug at around the same time, affecting their starting zones and corrupting their games, trapping them in the digital world that is now crumbling away into fragmented bytes

These heroes must make their way to the nearest portals to their starting zone and meet up with each other, before starting on a MMO/video game-world hopping multiverse journey of epic proportions, gathering allies, weapons and skills from these games to take on the BBEG and his army of corrupted, bugged mobs

borrowing this

#

showing the grumpy fish to some friends

hallow kite
#

my friend got a job offer which pays WAAAY more, like 3x what he earns right now

#

I wish him all the best

#

I work with him on the same position

#

can't wait when he's gone and everything starts to burn

#

then I'll quit. Then our boss will quit. Then his boss and our manager will quit

#

and then this entire project will die

#

that is my dream. Death to outsource.

o.o

#

all good Perin, but thanks

#

I keep struggling for our team, someone's gotta stay on this sinking ship

woven roost
hallow kite
#

aye but if you are smart enough you can earn nice money

gentle otter
#

New here. What project are you talking about?

hallow kite
#

ah, Hi new friend!

#

I work in QA field, however we are hired by third party company, which means we are basically working in outsource

#

and outsource is pure cancer.

#

(I don't work for Palia, just to be clear)

gentle otter
#

I tend to find working in any public service field is pure cancer.

hallow kite
#

Quality Assurance is not really a public service I think 🤔

gentle otter
#

Ah. I got a little confused on QA. For some reason I had a brain fart and thought it was Question Answer. Basically a simplified public relations job.

hallow kite
#

aaah I got you, yeah nah, I test vidya gaems

gentle otter
#

Oh! Nice. Though making playing a game your job would probably suck the fun out of playing it.

hallow kite
#

Not really. It's everything else tho... Like the game itself and the job is great, but we are not getting paid enough for the amount of shit we do.

#

It depends on the game too

#

like if you hate RPGs and you gotta test one, yeah that will slowly make you bored

#

I got kinda lucky and like the game I test

woven roost
#

And then all blame for game sucking is put upon you (Cyberpunk 2077)

hallow kite
#

not really

gentle otter
#

Seems like few jobs these days pay what they are worth. Though I was told when I was still in the military something that made it make sense. "You are not paid for what you can do. You are paid for how hard you are to replace."

hallow kite
#

it's not QA's fault that the game sucks, at least not in the main part

woven roost
hallow kite
#

QA is not responsible for blocking releases, making changes in code etc.
We are the lantern that signals the devs "hey, you should do something about the state of the game"
and the rest is in their hands

#

Fuck every gaming company that puts all the blame on their QA team

#

It ain't our fault you are putting bugs in the backlog instead of fixing your game

woven roost
hallow kite
#

oh wow, good thing I never wanted to work there

#

assholes.

woven roost
#

I mean I love CD project but they messed up there badly

hallow kite
#

It's obvious QA won't catch all the bugs

#

but c'mon

#

you got me angry Perin XD

woven roost
hallow kite
#

nah don't worry

#

I'm kidding

#

it's cdpr's fault

woven roost
#

Yeah I hope they will fix that game in the future because it has some great story and characters there

hallow kite
#

I hope too

#

anyways, I'm heading back to making cosplayyy

woven roost
#

I listen to SAMURAI to this day sometimes

wary dune
wary dune
hallow kite
#

pretty good! I'm making templates right now, 4 months to finish the whole thing so I'll work as hard as I can

wary dune
#

And in the mean time hunt around for somewhere more local for those sound effect button things 🤞

hallow kite
#

I asked on cosplay-help group. No answers, I'm starting to look at my wallet with fear

sudden cairn
#

I remember again. I don't think I've seen a mostly unobscured sky in-person

woven roost
sudden cairn
#

Even out here in small-towns, I can't see a ton. I can see a few stars that are rather bright, but anything slightly subtle goes completely missed.

woven roost
#

Only time I can see anything is when I visit graveyard at the border of the city at night (with family not in any weird way)

sudden cairn
#

And here I was thinking you were hired to hunt some ghosts or something

woven roost
#

Sadly graveyards are closed at night(midnight) and I'm not THAT edgy do break in

sudden cairn
#

Yea, graverobbers and all that

#

I do wonder what I'd see if I went out to the fields or something at 2-3am where everything really does hit its peak of darkness.

woven roost
sudden cairn
#

...Hopefully no UFOs.

woven roost
sudden cairn
#

I should walk up to my window tonight and stare out into the sky to see what's there with a closer observation.

woven roost
#

That's why summer so I'm not freezing while looking up the sky

sudden cairn
#

I rather be freezing than have my blood sucked out by mosquitos or having my skeleton jump out of me in fear when a rather big bug hits me

woven roost
#

I live right next to big road so no chance of seeing anything but moon

#

and due to smog not even moon sometimes

sudden cairn
#

I can absolutely see the moon quite clearly! It's so weird looking at it for such a long time. I can see a lot of the sorta-significant craters by just staring at it.

#

Sucks I don't have a telescope or binoculars; I can probably see way way more if I can just zoom in.

woven roost
#

I mean steering at full moon is so nice (for me)

sudden cairn
#

It's nice to me, too. Bonus points if there's no werewolf howling in the distance!

woven roost
#

I prefer to look with my eyes that way it makes me feel so small and brittle when I see scope of the world.

sudden cairn
#

I like to see it with my eyes too, but getting a closer look at what's there wouldn't hurt. As a person who loves knowing everything there is to know, just having a clearer and clearer sight makes things better for me

#

Most folks are scared of how big the universe is compared to themselves, but I like to see it as knowing just how much places there are to go!

woven roost
woven roost
sudden cairn
#

I don't think so, nah

#

Though... I think I might have a mild fear of heights. Staring at the Earth below from the International Space Station makes me feel weird.

woven roost
sudden cairn
#

But it's one of those weird situations. The station has zero gravity, so even though you'd literally float up from lightly pushing against a wall, there's still the ground being really really far away

#

Probably doesn't help the planet appears to spin really fast, making it even more scary

woven roost
#

I mean fear of height make our brain forgot about logic

#

I mean at the end of the day that's what fear do right?

sudden cairn
#

Yea, even if it might screw you over

woven roost
#

Yeah I have a story from PE class where fear screwed me over

sudden cairn
#

But also going outside where a bear or something is, then spinning around trying going back inside and forgetting if the door was push/pull is also bad

woven roost
#

I think it was first time where my body just simply does not followed my orders at all

sudden cairn
#

Thankfully I can just zone out a bit during scaryish situations and overcome it!

Time to visit France, then

wary dune
#

I think anywhere in the countryside far from city lights will do.

sudden cairn

Oh yea
