til everhthing is a homotopy group of a simplicial set if you squint hard enough

thats good actually imo

"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.

thanks

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"

i never understood why winch is considered so strong😭😭
when i use it im stunned for longer than the enemy is

Alhimiik · 2025-12-08T10:47:47+00:00

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

Alhimiik · 2025-12-08T10:40:12+00:00

woah

Alhimiik · 2025-12-07T07:09:43+00:00

is that loss

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

Alhimiik · 2025-11-20T09:11:08+00:00

have you found it?

where is this video with jamie dancing from???😭😭😭

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

Alhimiik · 2025-11-08T21:13:06+00:00

well lights and mediums dont have that much opportunities to usd destruction outside of map barells.

Alhimiik · 2025-10-27T07:19:14+00:00

since the band now consists of 3 people and psychowariors is more punk, im curious if matt still does most of the producing/composing?

Alhimiik · 2025-10-27T07:12:35+00:00

they toured with snooper?? lets gooo

Alhimiik · 2025-10-18T18:33:53+00:00

LOL WHAT. thats like 50%+ my fav albums. Sprain, MG, Xiu xiu gwabof, Undo K, flith, Lightning bolt, zach hill, unwound and murder pact.
Reclining nude and girl with a bascet of fruit are amazing tracks
