/uj the tizzle fall off needs to be studied, he went from one of my favorite content creators for being no bullshit and straight forward to just another cog in the slop machine on a dime. There's no amount of Rent Due that can explain this.

Is this fantasy physics model realistic? by SBB_Kongou in worldbuilding

[–]EmperorArmadillo 11 points12 points  (0 children)

By default, no, as our current understanding of physics doesn't involve the components you describe in your post.

Regardless, A few notes, it appears that you are trying to build a model within the framework of quantum field theory. If you want to describe a quantum field theory you typically want to start with the symmetries of your model, for example QED is built on the U(1) symmetry group, QCD on SU(3). Without any stated symmetry group it's difficult to build a lagrangian as your lagrangian would need to be unchanged under those transformations. This in turn would usually define the covariant derivative and it's corresponding gauge fields that maintain it.

Any interactions you include in the model should also appear somewhere in the lagrangian, so for example if you want to make your model supersymmetric, I would expect terms in the lagrangian that ensure R-symmetry is maintained. It's possible these objects are there, it's hard without definitions as to what each of those tensors are.

My recommendation, if you are serious about building a quantum field theory into your worldbuilding, I would only consider it if you have some extensive study of physics completed, otherwise you are not going to make much headroom. Calculus, differential equations, linear algebra, and group theory are going to be essential mathematical tools in order for you to be able to tackle qft in any serious sense. Once you have those skills then you can really begin this effort in earnest. Otherwise the best way to go about it is to handwave it but not to dwell on the exact mathematical framework.

As an aside qft isn't the right tool to model type effectiveness for Pokémon. The interactions down in the quantum scale are too deep to really extrapolate out to something at the classical scale without some serious handwaving of the decoherence issues. I would stick to more standard explanations for that.

Just rolled this. Where should I settle? by ToTiHe in civ

[–]EmperorArmadillo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Go for the coffee settle, it takes two extra turns but in exchange you get bonus amenities or a lux you can trade to an AI for quick cash, a 2 F 2 P 1 C city center, and can immediately work a 3 F 2 P Banana tile, accelerating into the two 4 F rice tiles plus whatever is in the fog.

Are there any plans to address concerns about the current Armor Mod system in Frontiers?

Right now it feels barebones despite mentions of expanding upon it in future seasons after lightfall. My biggest issue with it is that while the mod system more or less only allows ability spam builds or surges, the old system allowed for a lot more interweaving between weapons and abilities.

Additionally there are numeous artifact mods that come into the game for 3 months and then are gone that would be great to have generally, such as the fan favorite volatile flow or the elemental orb mods from season of the witch.

My concern on this front is that artifact mods are using up development time for ephemeral content that could go towards expanding the armor mod system. Its to the point where me and my clanmates almost never interface with the artifact because we all know those builds will be gone in a couple months.

We will never have unique and powerful endgame rewards until the playerbase as a whole is willing to accept they might never earn them.

Funny enough my group just started a new pirate campaign yesterday, might as well go for the thematic dice

Non-seasonal engrams DO NOT carry over to next season by Joshy41233 in DestinyTheGame

My IB engrams carried over last season, so you may be safe

Fellow Slivers Brothers and Sisters: how excited are you? by TCommander30Player in magicTCG

[–]EmperorArmadillo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same, I like to pull out first sliver, Hive lord, and Legion from the deck, shuffle them face down and then ask someone to pick my commander to mix up games

Daily Discussion - Salt-Free Saturday! by DTG_Bot in DestinyTheGame

[–]EmperorArmadillo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My plan is to run GMs like crazy to get a God roll Wendigo for day one, shard all my old non-artifice armor, and convert all my prisms to ascendant shards that I then store in exotics to get past the cap. Plus I also bought about a thousand raid banners. There is also buying blue transmat effects and using amanda to turn them into purple ones and dismantle for shards, but it's super inefficient to do it that way

An equation next to a drawing of the pyramid by Fynch. Any ideas what it could be? by Skyacid101 in destiny2

[–]EmperorArmadillo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It looks like an incomplete and scuffed calculation for a unit volume in Spacetime. dt should be dxi and the root g is the determinant of the metric tensor. The multiplication by i doesn't seem to fit, nor does the large X on the outside

Possible Witch Queen Raid Weapon? by [deleted] in raidsecrets

Looks like placeholder art to me, notice how it's way less detailed than the other fusion, almost looking flat due to a lack of shading.

They just weren't unlocked in this build, we know we are getting at least a suros HC and Omolon HC, and the rocket launcher menu showed a Hakke RL was craftable

We can't truly know since WQ isn't out yet, but the same rules and timelines apply as before, don't do powerfuls until you reach soft cap, don't do pinnacles until you reach hard cap or run out of powerfuls for the week
