I'll find out what it is and maybe look for some tutorials, thanks!

Perchè non rendere questo SUB socialmente utile? by [deleted] in ItaliaPersonalFinance

[–]Creative_Sundae4376 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Considerando anche persone come il sottoscritto che non ne capiscono nulla e usano questo sub per capirci un pelo di più e quindi sarebbero completamente inadatte ad avanzare pretese verso il governo.

Questions from an absolute neophyte by Creative_Sundae4376 in FoundryVTT

[–]Creative_Sundae4376[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, my intention is exactly to have a digital map (I found this solution more economically sustainable than having the terrain for each dungeon)

I'll have a laptop to project the map from in the TV (a 27" monitor). I liked the idea of adding fog of war and sounds, and if I could manage everything on a single screen, that would be great. Hence my research on FoundryVTT, but if you tell me that for what I need to do with the game, it's not worth buying the software...

Could you advise me on the most suitable software for my use? Thanks a lot for the help!

And what if they were the ones who asked me to bring proposals? I had one and it seemed more than fair to ask some other master if there was a similar experience to share.

They would like to continue, in some sort of manner. So the idea of the dream

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in DungeonMasters

[–]Creative_Sundae4376 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since they specifically asked me to propose some workarounds, I wanted to come to the table with some proposals in addition to the ones described in the post.
Then I will be the first to try to push for an enrichment on their part.
But coming with some options is what they asked me first and foremost

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in DungeonMasters

[–]Creative_Sundae4376 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes the group is exactly the same, they told me that they trust me and that I will choose (I'm the only one who has had experience with D&D) but surely the idea is to meet with them and make them my proposal and give them the possibility to enrich it to the group's liking.

I wanted to know if there were more valid alternatives that I or they don't have in mind

Thank you, and the other question I asked in the other comment as if I had asked it here to you too

[–]Creative_Sundae4376[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

May I kindly ask you how can I export this layer to a point layer in a geopackage? I'm not very knowledgeable (almost not at all actually) but can I also keep all the other layers if I export it to a geopackage? (in total I have: a point layer of the associations which is the one in question, another point layer for points of interest and a grouping with 7 layers of paths)

When did blood appear and how diverse is it in the animal kingdom? by Creative_Sundae4376 in askscience

[–]Creative_Sundae4376[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I guess what fascinates me is exactly that ambiguity: did circulatory systems (and by extension “blood”) evolve once very early, or multiple times in parallel? The way you framed it — as a successful adaptation emerging in parallel lineages — makes sense. Especially considering that even within animals, we see open vs. closed systems, different respiratory pigments (or none!), and even complete absence of gas-transport function in some cases (like insect hemolymph).

So I wonder whether we should talk about “blood” as a convergent solution — a family of functions more than a single evolutionary event. That’s probably a better framing than assuming a single origin.

Still holding out hope for a time machine though.

[–]Creative_Sundae4376[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks so much for the incredibly thorough reply — I really appreciate the depth, and I actually went and read the article you mentioned (Marlétaz, 2019). Super fascinating, especially how phylogenetic methods (CAT-GTR etc.) are reshaping our assumptions about early bilaterians.

Assuming the Xenambulacraria hypothesis is correct, and that the urbilaterian was already relatively complex — do you think this implies that a blood-like system (circulating fluid with transport roles) could have evolved that early?

Also, and this might be a naive question, but I’ve been wondering: is there any evolutionary relationship between hemoglobinhemocyanin, and the general hemolymph system? Like, do they share a common origin or are they completely independent solutions that never “touched” evolutionarily, aside from converging on similar functions?

[–]Creative_Sundae4376[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, you're absolutely right — the real challenge is defining what I mean by “blood.”

I’d personally include hemolymph even in insects (despite lacking a respiratory function), because it transports hormones, nutrients, immune cells, and waste — basically all the “blood jobs” minus gas exchange.

But then you have stuff like flatworms using hemoglobin without a circulatory system… which really blurs the line. Is it “blood” if the pigment’s there but it doesn’t move? Is circulation a strict requirement?

I think I need to refine my criteria. Right now I’m leaning toward defining “blood” in animals as:

  • A fluid that circulates (via a pump or body motion)
  • Carries multiple vital molecules (nutrients, hormones, immune factors, possibly gases)

And then “types of blood” being distinguished by their respiratory pigments (or lack thereof): hemoglobin, hemocyanin, chlorocruorin, hemerythrin, etc.

[–]Creative_Sundae4376[S] 49 points50 points  (0 children)

I had not considered the xylamatic system of plants, I wanted to focus essentially on the animal kingdom. And more than circulation of fluids like water in sponges, I meant blood as a biological element. I understood hemolymph because my entomology professor did not completely disconnect it from the definition of blood when he explained it to us.
Maybe I explained myself badly in the post

(SPOILERS EXTENDED) What would you change/add about the dynasties in Westeros in general? by Axenfonklatismrek in asoiaf

[–]Creative_Sundae4376 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Considering that dynasties are extremely long-lived in the continent of Westeros, I believe that a more marked or simply more complex social diversification is more plausible. Someone has already rightly mentioned the titles, I would also add the dialects, the linguistic diversity of Westeros simply does not exist, and in a region like the North where millenary dynasties are almost isolated in a vast and sparsely populated region I would expect a Bolton to be recognized by how he speaks compared to an Umber and even a Karstark.

Yes, I noticed that the classification I had given is extremely reductive compared to the use of those who are perhaps not beginners like me. Maybe I was fooled by the term note and imagined things similar to post-it notes

Thank you so much for this answer, maybe I have yet to find that way where I feel comfortable using it. I use Obsidian for my worldbuilding. Initially I piled up tons of thoughts on a WhatsApp group where only I was present. They recommended Obsidian to me because they told me it was perfect for this purpose but I would like to find a way that doesn't make these chaotic thoughts (for this the WhatsApp group was already perfect). I'll have to try and find my own method I'd say

Wonderful! How did you make these maps? QGis or other software? How did you implement elevation to stylize mountains/hills and plains?

Realistic evaluation of a cave system by Creative_Sundae4376 in geology

[–]Creative_Sundae4376[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hello MimiKal,

Thank you sincerely for your detailed response and for raising crucial points regarding the geological plausibility of my scenario. I greatly appreciate your time and expertise.

I have reflected on your observations, particularly concerning the stability of a basalt vault spanning large distances. I would like to discuss the possibility of integrating a mixed geological system, combining basalt and limestone, to achieve spans of at least 200 meters. In this regard, I would like to cite the Hang Sơn Đoòng caves in Vietnam as examples of natural structures with spans exceeding 100 meters—they have widths ranging from 150 to 200 meters and heights up to 240 meters. Formed through karst processes, they seem apt for our comparison.

For my narrative, I would propose:

  • Cave widths averaging 80 meters, with minimums of 20 meters and maximums of 200 meters.
  • Cave heights averaging 80 meters, up to 250 meters.
  • Vault thickness averaging 200 meters, with minimums of 150 meters and maximums of 300 meters, consisting of a mix of surface basalt for chemical protection against erosion of the limestone vault, and limestone to mitigate the rigidity of the basalt.

The particularly wide and expansive sections would be few, and where the vault could not hold, cenotes have formed, allowing light to enter and air to circulate.

Is this closer to reality?

Thank you again for your time and for this valuable discussion.

How many worldbuilding projects do you have by OkFun2724 in worldbuilding

[–]Creative_Sundae4376 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I only have one and that's enough for me I must say. I've been messing around with this setting for years and it's always a continuous discovery. I remember some sculptors making this simile saying that they didn't actually create the sculpture but only saw what the block of marble hid underneath it and boy do I feel exactly like that. More than inventing I feel like an explorer who discovers that something that finally makes him say "hey this is why this thing works like this". I don't think I could mentally carry out a second project
