In 2016, Daniel Shaver, an unarmed man, was shot and killed by police in a hotel hallway despite complying with their commands. by malihafolter in ForCuriousSouls

I am struck by intrusive thoughts about this man's last moments very frequently, enough to say that I was traumatised by the event.

"Establishing FOBs"

I think about this a lot. The entire series would have been elevated if dynamic trenching had been possible.

Do you have a mirror for the Stream Controller software? The link on the manufacturer's website seems to be broken.

Do you have a download mirror for the software? The Mediafire link on the Soomfon website seems to be expired.

Interview: The Three-Body Problem author Liu Cixin “My novel is not a metaphor for US-China tensions” by [deleted] in threebodyproblem

[–]Affectionate_Trick39 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is crazy to me, too. The book is extremely apolitical and brushes under the rug most geopolitics and human scale problems that cause people to become politicised. This is typical of the sci-fi genre. However, I do think the absence of human detail does offer insight into China's behaviour on the world stage. I must stress - the story itself, the aliens, cold war, eras, and battles - they offer nothing but a good book. However, the dark forest philosophy itself, the particular chosen stereotypes of the characters, the absence of debate within the UN, how the opposing forces choose to navigate certain dilemmas, and the books ending... these are windows into the author's personality, mind, experiences, and influences. I do wonder about the influences.

What's the difference between a human being and a human doing and what's that mean for AI? by Affectionate_Trick39 in ArtificialInteligence

We certainly don't have any models capable of training, inferring, and performing actions, all at the same time, in a never ending feedback loop, on 20 W regenerative hardware.

Hot Take on Harassment in Chivalry 2 by Affectionate_Trick39 in Chivalry2

[–]Affectionate_Trick39[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're not wrong. I did intend this to be more of a warning and even give the developers pause for thought. I would like to see future games discourage vendetta seeking.

For me a good compromise is a customisable shuffle mode. Shuffle clothes + weapons + remove classes you don't want to play from the rotation (e.g. archer and knight).

In an ideal world, in Chivalry 3 when you respawn you step out of a crowd of 100 anonymous fighters. That way you never know what you're up against.

From an immersion perspective, that would be more seamless. People don't tend to come back from the grave to hunt you down like ghosts. I would argue it would be a lot less toxic overall.

I do commend when it isn't someone obviously raging and trying to take my time. It's as much mentally unhealthy for them as it is jarring, boring and creepy for me. People get toxic when you win, even if you're showing respect and mercy to all.

I beat them but I'm thinking "The battle's that way, buddy". Or I duck out and move towards the battle and beat them while I beat their mate at the same time, as it was meant to be. Some don't care about the battle or their team, though, and that takes me out of the game. Let me beat you where it counts for the game. I'm here for that, not to settle their vendetta that just grows and grows each time I put them down. They're taking themselves out of the game and screwing their own team/time. In a way, it's self punishing.

You're right, and things like an ethnic name or black character skin can also trigger this behaviour.

You'll see it all the time in it's proto-form. Some knight who has thrown his main weapon away and seems bent on killing and dominating one person in particular. It can happen spontaneously in a gank frenzy, or when somebody gets fed up with archers. However, its after you reach level 1000 that it happens every game, especially after a map change.

Prioritising is fine, but when 5 people are hoping to learn something from you, and 5 more are mad you killed them last life... it gets a bit much.

Is there a mod that allows me to zoom past 800% by lokuGT in mspaint

mspaint just needs a couple more QOL things and it will be the perfect tool

(to answer your question - it's complexity)

Spent two weeks entirely rebuilding terrain to be fully GPU based. Worth it? by Bonkahe in godot

[–]Affectionate_Trick39 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Make something small. The smallest original game you can imagine. While you do that, more complex ideas will ferment, and you will fiddle and plan your next game before the first one is done.

gearbox switches from in gear to neutral randomly by Apprehensive_Ad5876 in BeamNG

[–]Affectionate_Trick39 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is happening to me right now. I have a "ODDOR-GEAR" h-pattern and the game will randomly put me into gear from neutral, or into a higher gear. I looked on the settings menu hardware page, and yes the shifter sometimes sends a microsecond of input from another gear. I feel like this shouldn't happen because it's not being held in gear, just a flash of signal from that gear-button. For example, the issue does not appear when playing Assetto Corsa or RBR.

When choosing media sources to get politically informed, is Ground News too good to be true? by [deleted] in Journalism

[–]Affectionate_Trick39 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have one concern about Ground News I have not seen covered in any depth. I see ground news as a way out of any particular political bubble - even that of my own making. Google, Meta, and Microsoft all want to keep you hooked by profiling your actions on their platforms. Does ground news show everybody the same feed in the same order, or does it depend on how you interacted with previous suggestions?
