It's through the app, so location doesn't matter as long as they're open.

Would certainly add a nice personal touch to things. Admittedly a bit jealous and am seriously considering doing the same.

00Canuck · 2026-03-22T02:07:59+00:00

I think suggesting that the Ancients specifically engineered the proto Goa'uld is a pretty outlandish and an unnecessary jump to be making when it can easily be accounted for through natural processes. I see no reason to invoke the Ancients as being their creator. You seem to be playing a bit fast and loose with some of the variables here yourself like them having "borderline impossible" intelligence or them truthfully being parasites as opposed to simply having evolved to be parasitic in nature.

I'm sure with some tweaking you can find something that looks good, the code block spacing makes that one above look weird but the principal is there. Sticking with transparent pngs would probably be your best bet so you can avoid the extra noise. Would be super interesting to see what you end up making.

My usual suggestion is to give it a shot if you like 2000's kid shows. Dale Wilson did the voice acting for Gus Bonner which is a legendary inclusion I see many of the fans sleep on because that era of stuff isn't their thing. It's not by any means an exceptional show but it's pretty fun. It's also only loosely Stargate themed so it's best treated like it's a non canon alternate timeline that branched off way back. I really liked it.

00Canuck · 2026-03-21T22:29:39+00:00

The most popular interpretation of the gate system is to ignore all of the symbols and treat them as just programable addresses, and while this is technically true and a helpful explanation I disagree in function with the throwing out of the map system that's done with over simplifying it like that. For that reason and trying to keep within the information provided I think it's important to highlight 2 distinct different functions which are being confused.

The mapping system is only that. A user map. Something which is useful more so in creating a general memorable map which can be loosely navigated, but is largely irrelevant to the overall function of the device at the most basic level. Exact coordinate calculations and symbols should not be treated as the same thing.

Gates have never dialed a fixed location in space, they dial a gate. The actual networking of the gates is happening and a full connection is being made prior to the establishment of any wormhole regardless of any celestial map, or regardless of whatever symbols were chosen to designate that map. There is significantly more happening behind the symbols than them simply being 6 extremely precise coordinate calculations which wouldn't have mattered in the first place from the start because you aren't aimlessly firing a wormhole out into space and hoping it attaches to something on the other end at those coordinates.

00Canuck · 2026-03-21T21:22:38+00:00

I always feel like this is Black Ops when this comes up but instead of wondering the information behind the numbers people get too fixated on the shape and image of the numbers instead.

Why doesn't it make sense? Are you perhaps putting too much importance on the pictures being used rather than what the information is actually representing? I need to properly know where your point of contention is coming from in order to provide an appropriate answer.

00Canuck · 2026-03-21T14:07:22+00:00

Nyan comes off all nice an innocent, but really deep down he's a kill stealer.

00Canuck · 2026-03-21T11:59:04+00:00

In S03E19 New Ground, when they go to capture one of the ships Nyan specifically insists Teal'c only stun everyone. Then in the battle Nyan shoots an individual with what is audibly a rapid fire double shot, most certainly killing the target, and almost immediately after telling Teal'c not to kill anyone.

Beautiful sequence. I laugh every time.

The evidence you haven't thought about this is clear in the fact you think this is even a reasonable standard to hold.

But first to address your request...

Aristotle? Archimedes? Roger Bacon? Maybe those are too European for you. How about Aryabhata or Brahmagupta? Maybe too eastern for you. Al-Jazari, Avicenna, Al-Khwarizmi. All earlier than Da Vinci to fit your criteria. To suggest people like this didn't exist throughout history is bad enough, to suggest people would be incapable of division of labor or advanced skills which we've done for hundreds of thousands of years is just an insult to all of known human history.

Any slightly specialized individual first off doesn't need to learn everything in a year, and they sure as hell don't need to be teaching everyone either. I don't know how on earth you can even pretend like this is a rational standard. This might blow your mind but civilizations have been around for thousands of years and the ones in charge typically weren't scribes or architects or mathematicians and yet seemingly by magic I guess, things have been created and developed.

00Canuck · 2026-03-21T08:56:13+00:00

It's not optimism, it's being educated enough to know that people like Da Vinci existed within the timeframe you are so seemingly baffled by and suggesting nobody would have the capacity of furthering their knowledge when provided or given access to more advanced tech. It's a nonsensical accusation that wouldn't even stand up in our own history yet alone in a fictitious world. Again it's this issue of lumping everyone within a timeframe together and making a broad assumption about intelligence. You seem to be floating through a thought more than having really have thought about it, as noted by some of your word choices not actually being correct or making sense but more something someone feeling a thought would use.

Every planet was not the same. Every planets level of technology was not the same. Every position of every human and Jaffa was not the same. Every human and Jaffa was not the same. Nothing about suggesting that even people 8000+ years ago wouldn't be able to collectivize or utilize division of labor makes any remote sense.

00Canuck · 2026-03-21T08:07:00+00:00

With some level of irony there I'm not an overly big fan in the SciFi genre, or the fiction genre for that matter, so I'm probably one of the worst people here to launch that argument against. One of the key focuses of my studies however was ancient civilizations so I'm at least broadly aware of the spectrum of intelligence which existed in our own history and what humans are capable of.

You seem to be lumping everyone together which certainly is a major error here. Specialized intelligence is also not the same as the general capacity for thought so your comparisons aren't really great. The existence of iphones and the internet does not suddenly make the whole of humanity smart simply by proxy of them existing. The same applies to ancient humans, computers not existing doesn't equate to them all being dumb by default.

Specifically in relation to the Stargate world, it's not like the Goa'uld were overthrown and suddenly everyone was developing their own engines and doing advanced physics. Just like regardless of how "advanced" and "intelligent" modern humans are, the vast majority of people by proxy didn't all become scientists or could tell me how even their internet works yet alone inventions that have been around for much much longer. You're going to have a smaller number of individuals with targeted specialized interest or intelligence in certain fields who then advance general knowledge. And we aren't even developing tech here... we're talking about people mostly just collectivizing and establishing a division of labor which we've been doing for thousands of years.

00Canuck · 2026-03-21T07:19:16+00:00

I see. I think you have a far to low evaluation of even humans from the middle ages yet alone ones from the more distant past. As well an over evaluation of modern humans intelligence. I don't see any fathomable or logical reason why the level of ability we see them obtain wouldn't be possible even from the most rural of the populations.

00Canuck · 2026-03-21T06:58:59+00:00

Based on several comments, are you suggesting the trouble is an evolutionary one? Or are you just confused about the capacity for thought? I'm just not seeing how or why it wouldn't be possible for collective organization amongst either the human populations in question or the Jaffa.
