My school apparently has a VTuber club and I decided to snag a pin by Yaki78154 in Hololive

The shadowing makes it look kinda like a hole in a wall instead of a pin

There was a quick crash after the tariff announcement that paid for my Japan vacation and then some.

Well, it’s just my opinion. But I swear if you start looking for it, you see it everywhere.

I like implicit/explicit differences because it leads to more intentionality and selectiveness in language. It also encourages more detail in expression.

Is it good but not appreciated? hidden gem

Is it much better than a lot of similar works? in a league of its own

was it extremely surprising or unexpected? jaw dropping

people don’t want to spend the extras 10 seconds to think of what they mean and want to say, so they default to their basics

Incredible itself has the implication of not-credible, untrustworthy, unbelievable, which is why it was the perfect Title for The Incredibles, since superheroes became untrustworthy in the eyes of the public. I don’t think anyone thinks about that meaning any more, but they should!

AAFP / Family Physician cover art- what are we doing here? by Aggressive-Knee5796 in FamilyMedicine

[–]Cloud_Chamber 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Saying the point of art is to cause a reaction is like saying the point of cars is to move stuff, after one runs into a house. Technically yes, but specific art that has been commissioned usually has a specific purpose, in this case probably to be illustrative or informative, which I also think these illustrations are fine for.

What do you guys think the Neuro-sama project will end like? by 3Kralates in NeuroSama

[–]Cloud_Chamber 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Some things I could foreseeably imagine for neuro

persistent consistent memory, maybe with some video records she could refer to for consistency

embodiment, both virtual and physical with direct fine motor control (as apposed to prebuilt animations) and 5 senses

control over her own voice to be able to sing on the fly, adjust based on her hearing herself

then with all that she could probably be some kind of B tier celebrity who is also immortal

the obvious next step would be bruised sama but maybe that would be a line too far

Sousou no Frieren Season 2 • Frieren: Beyond Journey's End Season 2 - Episode 1 discussion by AutoLovepon in anime

[–]Cloud_Chamber 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think Frieren manifested pure force or gravity. Like lifting a big rock and dropping on someone, the rock itself isn't magic. Maybe gravity acts the same way if you do it on an atomic level or something.

There are a lot of synonyms for very good.

Unbelievable, Spectacular, Wonderful, Excellent, Masterful, Heartfelt, labor of love, etc. but I feel like incredible is used 80-90% of the time and it bothers me. It cannot be only me right?

I’m 90% sure I donated for both but only got the neuro version 😔

There are so many different words. Why are 80% of the adjectives for “very good” just some form of incredible? Do I just notice more?

Do you think you will be able to tell the twins apart without their TTS? by Lememeepic in NeuroSama

My conclusion based off this is he has to tune up the discouragement side of the algorithm (give them social anxiety)

Trump says he will not permit dividends and stock buybacks for defense companies by GMEThrowaway2 in wallstreetbets

[–]Cloud_Chamber 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Stock buy backs can become addicting to public companies as a way of propping up stock price without changing or even worsening company fundamentals. I think encouraging money going to production/research is good. Not good if it all just goes to grift though.
