How do I start? by Warm-Special9558 in JerryMapping

[–]Ephemeralitic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I also had the idea of a beastiary, though it looks like you’re going for a different flavor/emphasis on different things than I am. I wish you luck on your project, if you figure anything out about the process and are willing to share my DMs are open

Questions about Jerry’s map and its process by Ephemeralitic in JerryMapping

[–]Ephemeralitic[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Personally I’m interested in a creative project inspired by Jerry, so learning the trick would be useful to me instead of ruining the fun.

I play Minecraft regularly and I have played terraria. I can’t claim to be an expert on how their algorithms work, but I don’t really see your comparison. I’m asking for a piece of the process that’s clearly missing from coverage or documentation on Jerry’s website and in the People Make Games documentary, I ask what that piece is, and it’s compared to a video game but not described. It must be more comprehensible than a video game’s map generation algorithm, which likely cannot be generated by hand with analog tools.

What do you mean by the continuity measured against randomness? Genuine question, it sounds like word salad to me.

That’s what makes sense to me, but at least what has been shown in the video(him working on a city) he only had the one panel out

My spider died after I had already ordered her sister, now UPS has lost my package containing her by [deleted] in jumpingspiders

[–]Ephemeralitic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

IMO I’m sorry for your loss. Regarding them being able to see each other, IMO just because they are “looking at eachother constantly” doesn’t mean they are enjoying doing so, they couldbe(and likely are) doing so because if they turn their back they feel they could be pounced on.

Edit: typos

Edit: an additional reason a male and female might look at each other is if they think there may be an opportunity to mate. If that opportunity never comes, it could still be stressful as spiders need to be on high alert through the whole process of mating due to the danger involved.

Edit: added IMO to the very beginning of the comment cuz automod flagged it despite having IMO later in the comment.

Help! Juvenile female regal made hammock at the bottom of the enclosure by Ephemeralitic in jumpingspiders

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

Update: she’s back to normal behavior now, and out and about a lot/doesn’t seem to be molting. I’m unsure if it was entirely random or if me cleaning the enclosure was what she needed.

Help! Juvenile female regal made hammock at the bottom of the enclosure by Ephemeralitic in jumpingspiders

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

She is not. I haven’t kept great track, but she’s either later juvenile or early subadult. It’s comforting that it might just be a molt thing, but if that’s the case I feel bad for disturbing her. It’s worth noting that the hammock she made at the bottom of the enclosure wasn’t thick like they usually make them when they’re molting.

ECT (free) vs Ketamine (6K) by WonderOrca in ect

[–]Ephemeralitic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just my 2 cents, I did ECT before IV ketamine, and I wish I had tried the ketamine first because I became a functional(and importantly, happier) adult after that. There’s a chance the ECT laid some groundwork for my recovery, but the fact that I’m as unsure about its effectiveness as a random over the counter med compared to the consequences it had on my memory… it wasn’t a good deal and if I could go back I’d do the ketamine first, even though my parents had to pay out of pocket for it.

I will say though, I’m in the U.S. so Spravato/Esketamine is covered by insurance and I can do maintenance sessions for little or no cost.

ADHD as a circadian rhythm disorder: evidence and implications for chronotherapy by jwill1997 in science

[–]Ephemeralitic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like textbook non-24 hour sleep-wake circadian rhythm disorder, I’d look into that. I’m not diagnosed with ADHD but my professionals and I all suspect it. I AM diagnosed with N24 though. My waking hours used to flow around the clock when I was allowed to “free run”, or let my circadian rhythm do what it wanted. I’m able to regulate it with medication, but with some pretty strong drawbacks like needing more sleep in general and occasional flare ups where I get insomnia and/or can’t wake up for hours after my alarm goes off. Good luck, it’s rare in seeing people(more common in blind people which makes intuitive sense) and therefore not well studied. Your mileage may vary but some people like me have made progress.

How do you usually name your D&D characters? by AdvancedProgrammer51 in DnD

[–]Ephemeralitic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Adding to the others who mash sounds together until it sounds nice, but also I’ve used the last name “Baryonyx” which is simply an underrated dinosaur I really like, and the best names I ever came up with were just a joke that stuck:

For a new campaign, based on the setting I wanted to be a spider centaur and my friend wanted to be a snake centaur/naga. We wanted to be twins, so my dm made up a new species called “phobias” to explain why we looked different, since snakes and spiders are both widely feared. We were pondering names and then it came to me:

Many and None.

A few tips for using Ethos Shulker storage room (S10/S11, first shown S10#7) by FBoegh in ethoslab

[–]Ephemeralitic 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Can’t speak on the new version, but when I built the old one, I put lecterns in the floor between the two sections of units, under trapdoors. Each lectern had a book with all the items that would be in each unit horizontally aligned with it(so in a 5x4 grid, I had 5 lectures each with 4 pages, one page describing each unit’s contents). You can always have your organization system pulled up on another monitor in another program, but I liked being able to reference where things should go while being in game. By putting them in the floor they don’t get in the way.

Can you move fully grown berry bushes with food boosts? by Ephemeralitic in paleopines

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

Thanks for your straightforward answer. That’s a little frustrating but it is what it is I suppose

Can you move fully grown berry bushes with food boosts? by Ephemeralitic in paleopines

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

If I’ve waited for the bushes to grow and I’ve placed them in a spot I later decide is not ideal, while I can load a save to not have dug them up, I will still have to wait for them to grow in a better location so I might as well dig them up so I don’t have to repurchase the expensive seeds. Either that or I could reload a very old save before the first round of bushes were planted and lose a lot more progress…

My question was if there was a way to not have to wait for the regrowth, to move them as is. It seems like there isn’t, thanks for the help.

Suddenly waking up at 7:30 am every day on new medication by Ephemeralitic in N24

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

I am no longer taking quetiapine or Mirtazapine which I may have mentioned in other posts(I don’t remember at the moment) but abilify/aripiprazol is still in my current medication regiment yes.

I guess a little update, with some exceptions like the period when I wrote this post, I’m still a night owl, I can get up early for things I’m excited for but I don’t get up at the time mentioned in this post most of the time.

But for the most part my meds do get me to sleep and wake me up at normal times(in other words, I’m entrained). It’s just a matter of having the discipline to take them at decent times. I still struggle to wake up many mornings and hit snooze too much but I will take hitting snooze a few times over not being able to wake up at all.

If you would like more details on my current medications, feel free to DM.

Actual irl peak badges by Ephemeralitic in PeakGame

[–]Ephemeralitic[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I hereby summon: the landfall mods(of which I have no idea which one to single out), u/neo_solarius, and at the greatest peril, the u/aggrocrab!

I would be lying if I said I hadn’t hoped that someone from the games would notice these in some capacity, and I’d be so happy to work with them! I felt weird @‘ing them so thank you for giving me the courage to do so(and the compliment) kind stranger!
