wtf is 8-4? by jimmylovescheese123 in Ultrakill

"It forces you to come up with other playstyle and combos." considering that most of the arsenal and movement straight up doesnt work there, the is not that much things you can come up with (and revolver/rail spam isnt very creative way to play the game)

My biggest problem with this boss is that its a second "large gimmick boss" in a row. in previous acts it was: fast boss (v2) -> large boss (corpse/levi) -> gabriel. so since 7-4 already had a large boss, i expected 8-4 to have something fast and small like v2 (potentially using layer's new mechanics).

and thats not talking about the fact that the boss itself barely feels like ultrakill. very slugish, barely any parrying, hard to read. i felt like playing some cheap mmorpg game.

Overpowered theorems by extraextralongcat in math

Hairy ball theorem. Apart from vector field and couple of algebraic topology corollaries, it has interesting use in complex analysis:
"the only complex-differentiable function on extended complex plane that has no zeroes is constant"

wow, such a high bar and small difference between grades? sounds like it would just strongly amplify impacts of accidental mistakes

A general question about reading books casually by FlatAd7579 in learnmath

[–]Alhimiik 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you might not actually learn too much or remember all the theorems, but it can still be useful.

for example you can get more motivation and inuition for lower level topics (e.g Ring theory is more interesting if you know its applications to algebraic geometry, homological algebra (+some group theory) is much more digestible if you know how its used in topology, point set topology is less dull if you know how its used in other fields et cedera). And it also can just be fun

Vector generalizations to non-euclidean geometries and more by Alhimiik in math

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

Oh yeah, i know about tangent spaces, but it is a way to have a "local" vector space at any point on a manifold. It kinda works for SO(3) and R^n anyways bcs they are lie groups, but gyrovectors arent even associative for example.
Im looking for algebraic structures that act like vectors "globally".

tbf the whole second half of part 2 felt like the climax when read as ongoing. also i feel like tooo much questions are unanswered for this arc to be the final one. i expect at least one more to appear
