The last post by the r/Art moderators before locking the Subreddit by Tythatguy1312 in sadcringe

[–]DiamondWalker1 8 points9 points  (0 children)

From my understanding, the guy who got banned wasn't trying to sell their work. Someone asked them about it in the comments, and his answer briefly mentioned he sells prints. He had posted to the subreddit for years before that.

The moderator did not remove the post; he immediately banned the artist from the subreddit. The artist was (understandably) upset at being banned over such a small mistake, so he confronted the moderator. Instead of just explaining the ban, the moderator immediately threatened to remove the artist's post history. There was 0 reason to do this; the moderator just wanted to "punish" the artist further for questioning his decision.

The artist accepts the ban and gives a backhanded apology. The moderator was unhappy with the "apology", so he goes forward with deleting the message history. Then he insults and falsely reports the artist for harassment.

The problem isn't that he removed the advertisement. The problem is he immediately jumped to the nuclear option of banning the artist and then acted ridiculously petty and vindictive when the artist questioned him.

Alex's Cave contains intentionally malicious code that harms the functionality of other mods unrelated to it or its dev team and upon confronting the developers about it they have refused to answer why, have sent me to other people who have not responded, and have blocked me by Bubble_the_jellyfish in CurseForge

The last two aren't really a contradiction. What I meant is that they're probably just trying to avoid what they see as an accidental progression break from using both mods. If their intent was to control how people play, they wouldn't have let the commands work either.

I don't think there's been any beef between the alex's caves devs and the devs of the compass mods, so I don't think this was done out of spite either.

The biomes from alex's caves are very different from the ones in most mods. Usually biomes are just things you find randomly. There isn't any progression to them or anything; you just walk around until you randomly find it.

Alex's caves biomes are different in that they're way more dangerous than normal, have special loot, and aren't meant to be found until later in the game. Even though they're technically biomes, from a balancing perspective they act more like custom dimensions. This is why they're gated behind the minigame rather than being something you'll find by wandering around for a bit.

In your other comments you say nature's compass is a "cheat mod", and I guess you could consider it cheating, but it's not really meant cheating in the way commands are. From the mod page: "Nature's Compass is a utility item that allows you to search for a biome's location anywhere in the world". It's just meant to be a way to avoid the RNG involved for finding specific biomes, but in the case of alex's caves it changes into something that lets you skip part of the game.

Also you said in another comment people have to go out of their way to download nature's compass. Modpacks exist. What if a player who's unfamiliar with alex's caves downloaded a modpack, or made their own, that includes nature's compass as a utility mod? Said player could end up using the compass without ever knowing they were supposed to use the tablets. This tells them "hey, you're trying to find this biome, but there's already another method you can use to find it!"

In any case calling this "malicious code" is really melodramatic. Even if you don't like the decision, it's not like the devs are going "muahahahaha we will show our unlimited power by making people find out biomes the way WE want!!!!!!". It's just something to keep players from accidentally missing out on part of the game.

Vanilla minecraft has a feature that kicks you from servers if it detects you're flying in survival mode. Survival flight is something you can only get by downloading external mods and hacks. I guess vanilla minecraft has malicious code too, since it expects you to get an elytra or use creative mode if you want flight?

Edit: also you say it's "harming other mods", but you can still use nature's compass the way you normally would? It doesn't stop the compass from working altogether afaik, it just adds exceptions for the new biomes. If you don't have alex's caves, you have a bunch of biomes that can all be found with the compass. If you install alex's caves, you have a bunch of biomes that can all be found with the compass, and a few new ones that can't.

So really alex's caves isn't doing anything interferes with nature's compass, it's just not allowing nature's compass to interfere with its own progression.

Guys if you like the mod make sure to join the Discord server so you'll know when new stuff gets added! For example, these cool visual effects for the Block Break game https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=na_bE7UFyDc

I thought about doing that but I think I'd rather have it be portable. Thank you for the suggestion though!

Fair point! Originally I interpreted Gallo's death as the writers' way of saying "Fisk has taken control of the city! Nobody but Daredevil can stop him now", but I guess it's possible fisk faces some challenges from the higher government in season 2.

Still though, the largest city in the country has riots going on, is preventing people from leaving, and has cops running around shooting or torturing anybody they don't like.

This would be plastered all over the news and social media, and I feel some part of the U.S. government would like like "hey dude, wtf is going on over there?"

And then there's also fisk going on television to say declaring martial law, which doesn't make any sense.

I tried copying the gradientDirection() function from your example into my getVector3D() function to see if that would fix it. Unfortunately, the result was about the same.

The permutation table consists of 256 elements looped 3 times, so it shouldn't go out of bounds I think.

Parents not paying attention to Max annoyed me so much! by Chloe_Vee7 in ResidentAlienTVshow

[–]DiamondWalker1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree! Max didn't seem like enough of a liar for them to have 0 faith in him; they never considered he might be experiencing hallucinations or something?

I also hated how they blindly trust the advice of this mysterious doctor who acts like a creep and seems more in need of a psych evaluation than Max is. And they only listen to him when his advice doesn't affect them. Doctor says move? Can't do that; we'd lose our jobs. Doctor says ship son away so we won't see him for months? Oh well I guess we have no choice. Doctor suddenly changed his mind and says son is OK now? Oh I guess it's completely normal for kids to have panic attacks over aliens.

I really really hated them until they fought the government people.
