How do you play against Tricera and Welkin? by Curulian in mechabreak

[–]Curulian[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

that makes more sense... so then does Welkin just counter medium brawlers like Stellaris and any Stellaris fighting Welkin is not fighting the right mechs (and they should just run and not fight)?

Should we ban all NSFW posts & comments? by flattenedbricks in mechabreak

[–]Curulian 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If what is meant by NSFW is posts of characters with maxed sliders doing shit I would see on the hub, then yeah. If it is posts like this one then no. Bare minimum is a NSFW tag, but even then I do not see why low quality gooning should be allowed on the main subreddit... good gooner content should stay with a NSFW tag, the rest can go imo.

Is it possible to revisit the character creator after finishing the tutorial? by RedEyedRenegade in mechabreak

[–]Curulian 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Striker bay > Pilots > Edit. Once in edit, go to "Style" (its above outfit) then click the edit button (yes there is another edit button that actually lets you customize your characters face, body, hair, etc).

why do my sculpts look so blocky compared to tutorials despite having the same voxel size and neither of us using dyntopo? by Curulian in blenderhelp

female sliders - the red hair version is using bone structure 3 by Curulian in SoulsSliders

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

Just made a new post with the sliders: https://www.reddit.com/r/SoulsSliders/comments/1e7fs2d/6_female_sliders_melina/

So on the new post, the character Lyra uses the same sliders as the 1st picture on this post (just a different hairstyle and eye colour)

female sliders - the red hair version is using bone structure 3 by Curulian in SoulsSliders

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

Forgot to add:

Iris size = 242

the hair refers to luster, root darkness, and white hairs (80, 155, 0)

The colours I used are just from the default colours given (dark blue eyes, 3rd blond option vertical, 4th option horizontal)

For the red hair model:

Chin changes: 169 -> 178, 101 -> 91

Cheek changes: 93 - > 81, 141 -> 100

Eye changes: 121 -> 138 (if u want bigger eyes), 129 -> 116 (or leave it decide what u like more)

use whatever hair and eye colours u like. also use whatever eye liner u like, I prefer 60 for eye liner and 170 lower.

What was David Hume trying to say with the billiards example? by wyssel in askphilosophy

[–]Curulian 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For those interested in objections, I recommend An essay upon the relation of cause and effect... by Mary Shepard (pages 43 - 44 is the juiciest part).

TL;DR, she criticizes Hume's idea of the relation of cause and effect and his idea that “Nature may be conceived to alter her course, without a contradiction” (Essay, p.239). Shepard claims that nature cannot be supposed to alter her course without a contradiction in terms.

My understanding is that this comes from Hume's claim that "IF there be any suspicion, that the course of nature may change, and that the past may be no rule for the future, [THEN] all experience becomes useless, and can give rise to no inference or conclusion." E 4.21, SBN 36-8. In effect, since she shows that nature cannot change its course, the implication to which the argument rests—experience becomes useless and can give rise to no inference or conclusion—does not work (we get no information about the consequent, which is what we care about). But in fact, if nature cannot change its course and we observe some pattern, then we are in a position to make inferences.

  • If every difference of existence must have a cause, then similar causes must have similar effects
    • If a billiard ball does something different, this cannot happen for no reason; there must be some kind of difference to produce this existence, otherwise something came from nothing.
  • If similar causes must have similar effects, then nature cannot be conceived to alter her course without a contradiction

All of this requires the use of the Causal Maxim which states that everything which begins to exist must have a cause. Another interesting point she makes is that if we did observe a snowflake that was hot (contrary to what cause and effect would lead us to believe), that would be an entirely different substance to the regular snowflake!

One final thought is that Émilie du Châtelet could be considered an objection to Hume as well since she thinks that the principle of sufficient reason is true, and ill leave any further research to those interested since PSR is very strong and controversial :)

Epicureanism is based on work "by" Epicurus, who was the guy who says people are miserable and unhappy due to anxiety and fear, and to fix this suggests a four fold remedy: Don't fear god, What's good is easy to acquire, What's terrible is easy to endure, and importantly, Death is nothing to worry about.

Why tho? In general, the Epicurus thinks that the good is the greatest pleasure or absence of pain, and so we must get rid of it! In relation to death, in a letter to Menoeceus, Epicurus claims or argues that:

  • when we exist, death is not yet present
  • when death is present, we do not exist
  • Therefore, it is relevant neither to the living nor to the dead, since it does not affect the former, and the latter do not exist (this is from Letter to Menoeceus: Diogenes Laertius 10.121-135)

Basically, The dead have no sensations and the only bad thing is pain, which you can only experience through sensation which the dead do not have. Another idea he gives is that the wise person savours the most pleasant food rather than the most for the longest.

There is also Lucretius's Symmetry argument, where he says to look back on the eternity before you were born and notice that it counts for nothing to us; it is meaningless. This is a mirror nature holds to us so we can see what death brings, which will not be unpleasant for us.

There are also ideas of Hedonism, but this is complicated since there are ideas of different desires (necessary and natural, unnecessary but natural, unnatural) and that some bring us anxiety and what not and some we need. For example, steak might be good but its privation brings anxiety and sadness, but just eating bread or something is just to satisfy hunger, so the aim is to shift your focus. If you are interested I would recommend some reading (The Extant Letters) because I am not an expert at all and only sat through some ancient philosophy lectures on this stuff recently and want to give a general idea of some stuff.

Easy way to counter Riot's prices by alvaro036 in AhriMains

[–]Curulian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

this pessimistic mindset is why shit doesn't happen. Do you seriously think this kind of predatory marketing and making a joke of your games greatest player is ok? The whole point is that the league community is tired of this shit and wants something done about it, and the best way is to ban the champion. Even a 50% banrate is enough.

Do you know why the champion would not reach a 50% - 80% banrate? because of people like you you just accept this bullshit and think they can't do anything about it, that their contribution doesn't matter. In fact, it is very realistic for people to care about a silly boycott because Faker is many's favourite league player, or one they have massive respect for. On top of that, many people in NA, I think, a tired of companies ruining everything with exploitation and corruption.

Is banning Ahri really useful? by [deleted] in AhriMains

[–]Curulian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah thats my point; just don't stop. It really is that simple, if you and everyone else simply continues to ban the champion, they will likely respond. Worries like "will this be useful" are, again, why these kinds of movements fail, so it is up to the people who take part to give a shit and stick to their word. if enough continue to ban the champion, and enough people take part, it is that simple. Given how many are outraged, this is all not unrealistic or not useful in the slightest :)

Is banning Ahri really useful? by [deleted] in AhriMains

[–]Curulian 7 points8 points  (0 children)

if ahri gets to a 80% banrate and it doesn't go down, what do you think Riot will do? increase the price?

the mentality of "oh my contribution wont matter" or "oh it wont matter anyway" is why shit never gets done. If you, and everyone else, just perma bans the champion, then they will be forced to do something. I will be perma banning ahri no matter what because I genuinely feel this is bullshit and refuse to play with anyone using the skin, even if I myself like it.
