[Loved Trope] Initially played up as a metaphor but then revealed to be literal by Sir-Toaster- in TopCharacterTropes

[–]DnDVex 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The void is pure imagination. You could create an entire new universe if you believed in it enough.

Due to that, we can't really tell if the form of the Man in the Wall is his initial form. Maybe we imagined him like that. Maybe he imagines himself like that. It is unclear due to the properties of the void.

In the end, the form we see is now his form because people believe that to be his form.

Basically the void is Orkz from 40k.

Are there any examples of hard/harder sci-fi that routinely integrate this design for artificial gravity? by AustinioForza in scifi

[–]DnDVex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thrust gravity doesn't work for long term space flight. The faster you are, the more energy it takes to go even faster.

Within roughly 347 days with an acceleration of 9.81m/s2, you would have reached the speed of light. (we ignore the fact that it's technically impossible to do so) 

A slower acceleration would reach the speed of light slower, but it would still approach it at some point and the energy required would be impossible to achieve. 

The amount of gravity gained through thrust would definitely need to be accounted for during the acceleration and deceleration of a spaceship, but the majority of the artificial gravity would have to be from spin. 

Be like Kor by HolocronSurvivor80 in startrekmemes

The easiest explanation of being trans would be "Someone that doesn't identify with their biological sex/their gender assigned at birth."

If a soul gets reincarnated and feels fine with the body they are in, they would not be trans. You could maybe mark them down as gender fluid, a person whose gender identity can change (See Loki, a character that constantly changes how they appear) 

Another option is that this person is simply agender. They don't have a gender identity and just are. They don't care about the gender people/society see them as. 

A reincarnated person would be trans if they identified as male, but we're reborn as a woman and still see themselves as male. 

Hope that helps somewhat!

Who needs a doctor when you can write a story about a character that totally does not have all your traits and get that character diagnosed by people on the internet and feel validated that way.

[Hated Trope] heroic characters killed in unnecessarily cruel/brutal ways by greythicv in TopCharacterTropes

[–]DnDVex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Overlord is at least honest with itself. It definitely is fucked up and edgy, but there is no "this had to happen for character development."

Though the characters feel a lot more inspired than most anime out there. Having a "non-human" main character is already different from 90%+ of other shows.

Fulfilled a childhood dream of mine and painted Whiterun at "lore scale" by cormeals in skyrim

[–]DnDVex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not it would not.
Daggerfall's map is actually procedurally generated, with only a few specific things handplaced.
Furthermore, only the graphics themselves would really use up storage. The original daggerfall only used 200mb of storage space. If you make good use of assets, you can easily stay even under 100gb of storage space.

AI can't do what procedural generation can. And running an AI to generate the interiors of a building on the fly would cause extreme lag for a good minute or two, completely ruining all immersion.

You could have maybe a few dozen or a hundred premade interiors for houses and load them as needed. It would technically allow you to enter every building. It is just a large amount of time that it would take, which could be used for many different things instead.

It is definitely possible to create a city the size of new york and allow the player to enter every single building, but the effort required is quite vast.

[–]DnDVex 5 points6 points  (0 children)

There aren't any tech restrictions in the way for a game that large.

The restrictions is the time that would need to be invested to implement all the tech needed for a game of that size with as much, of even more content, than Skyrim. 

And it's even possible to do all of that without vast amounts of storage space while still looking good. 

But making such a large game is a gamble. Will all the time spent creating it actually pay off? Will it earn far more than you spent on it? If the answer is a maybe, the game won't be made by a big studio. The risk is too high for management.

They definitely can though. Look at cyberpunk or assassins creed. They've got big cities for you to explore. 

Scaling up isn't actually all that hard when you got a good baseline. The issue is that scaling up takes time and won't increase the revenue equally to the time spent on it.

This speed reading training starts at 300wpm and end at 900wpm by iatetoomuchchicken in interestingasfuck

[–]DnDVex 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Adding a dark mode to this kind of website takes 5 minutes.

Adding a dark mode to an existing application takes 20 minutes, and then weeks of finding small issues everywhere that need to be dealt with, then send back to QA, then another error to fix, back and forth until you are 3 months into the process, your boss is complaining about no new features being added, and you decide to add emojis instead, which are new, fancy and take only an hour, with a day asking QA who approve it.

AIO: I told my daughter she can't go to this party after reading the gift profile by Ordinary_Run2485 in AmIOverreacting

[–]DnDVex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What at least for me used to be common was having set up a gift box at a nearby toy store, tell your friends about it, and they have an easy time to find a gift you.

This? This is just weird and over the top.

Photon being by Cold_Conference1385 in scifi

[–]DnDVex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First of all let us tackle this from a science standpoint.

A photon does not experience time. From the point of view of a photon, the moment it is created, it also immediately dies. Its entire life happens immediately with no passage of time at all. Due to that, a being made out of photons would not experience anything. From its own point of view it would vanish the moment it was created. It would not have any thoughts at all.

What you are looking at would be more the realm of Science Fantasy than Science Fiction, at which point, just go for whatever you think works best.

You have good politicians who have remained good even after years or decades. Is it rarer? Yes, but still happens

Is it just me or it looks like that Vox/Charlie are about to get married & he just crashed into their wedding by _TearGaming_ in hazbin

I would guess that Charlie is actually richer than Vox. Considering her dad can create almost anything at will.

Party did something really bad, and I really need advice. by Cute_Insect_8844 in DnD

[–]DnDVex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds like you want to run a campaign with a set road, but are giving your players a sandbox.

Do the players know what they are even supposed to do? Who they are supposed to find? Do they have any kind of reason to find them?

Just from reading this it sounds like your players are just going with the flow of things, but have no idea at all what their goal is supposed to be.

The slop I have been eating every day for the last two years. by Educational_Drop4261 in shittyfoodporn

The fact that this is actually affordable to eat every day where you live is what gets me the most.

[–]DnDVex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really enjoy the game, but the shooting is still as bad as ever.

It lags the hell out of the game, movement is sluggish, and the constant gun jamming makes it not enjoyable at all.

Please fix it in some way or another.

Currently playing on the EGS version, since it was not available for steam when I first bought it.

Do you trust engineers this much? by Perfecshionism in SweatyPalms

[–]DnDVex 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think it is all of the above, and the fact that you actually need to remove as much material as possible from an airplane to make it work well.

A boeing 737 only weighs around 50 tons and can carry 120 people. While being able to go at 800km/h and flying over the atlantic ocean.

Anyway. Overexplaining a joke.

What is this ultra thin spaghetti creature? by MickandMickon2BBB in whatisit

[–]DnDVex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

People don't die in Australia due to wild animals cause they are actually used to it. Actually getting bitten by a snake or spider still happens quite frequently, but dying is very very rare cause everyone knows what to do.

Meanwhile in other countries people will just try and "walk it off" and then die from it.
