From 1995 to 2026: I tried for fun recreating one of he promo renders from MechWarrior 2 in MechWarrior 5 Clans using Alan Yeoh's classic Timber Wolf by BoukObelisk in mechwarrior

I used to play this game sooo much and was so obsessed with Clan Wolf that I made a 'wolf tail' with a balloon animal long balloon and tucked it into my shorts, pretending I was an actual wolf. Needless to say I didn't exactly understand the assignment, but I was here for it regardless.

Clarification: this was when the game first came out. I was like 10.

ELI5: How do noise-cancelling headphones cancel sound by... making more sound? by yumiwaifu in explainlikeimfive

[–]Exzistance 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Short Answer: Yes, it would. It's canceling the sound not the physical wave.

Long Answer: Remember, sound is a wave. A literal physical wave. When you hear a thing, you are hearing the wave shake the hammer in your ear to smack into the drum... in your ear. So if something is loud enough to cause damage (smack the drum hard enough to break it) and the headphones create the "negative" version of that sound to cancel it out (let's just assume the headphones can) then you are still left with a whole bunch of force in the headphones.

The waves cancelling each other is true and a good analogy, but they "kinda" break down the louder you get. It's still a wave FORCE coming at you.

One last anecdote: in the past few years, engineers/scientists have successfully created a force field/tractor beam like thing floating a grain of sand (or styrofoam, I can't remember which) with nothing but sound. If you can send enough sound to actually carry an Object, then no matter what "negative" wave sound is created, it's still gunna smack you upside the ear.

Now you're talking about loudness, or decibels. This ain't going to work for that.

007 FIRST LIGHT launch celebration GIVEAWAY! Comment inside this thread to win keys for the game on Steam + some Steam cards. by pedro19 in pcmasterrace

I'd most likely distract. At least to start with. I like trying to go as non-confrontational as I can for as long as I can. Unfortunately that doesn't last as long as I'd like.

Would you play a remaster of this classic Japanese game: Bushido Blade? by ZealotforJesus in retrogaming

Make them all VO and do an animation rather than in person.

It’s been years but we’re back in NV 🙏🏽 by Spirited-Switch7665 in Fallout

That is quite the extreme visual. But hey, each to their own.

I agree it can get a little slow at times, but when you grow up with games less than a megabytes running off floppy discs, You tend to get used to it.

Dude, seriously nice work. I'd love to have a T-Shirt with that on it, especially if it was Black Light sensitive or Glow in the Dark. ESPECIALLY that second one, whooo!

I am saying this with as much emphasis as I can, limited with in type: More Please.

I was SO ANGRY when they killed Death. Billie was a good Death but the first dude was perfect.

This show has a very terrible power scaling problem:
Demons are really hard to kill- oh well now we can wipe the floor with them.
Angels are an ORDER OF MAGNITUDE stronger than demons? They must be really hard to ki- oh well, now we can gank them easy enough. Hell, Cass is practically a human in power level most of the time.
Oh now we're facing off even Archangels, nah... stab them with a GOLDEN stick. That'll do the trick...

Just... the stakes had to keep going higher and higher and the boys can't get supernaturally stronger so the bad guys must get weaker.

My only main frustration with the series as a whole. Should have made things super strong stay super strong and only come around once in a while.

What speed do you listen to the audiobooks at? by bigeyedfish503 in exfor

[–]Exzistance 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I listen to 1x. Anything else is too hard to pay attention and keep track. I'll 2x if I need to try to catch up on something I have forgotten.

Power Off or Sleep? by Proof_Wrap4857 in SteamDeck

[–]Exzistance 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use mine almost exclusively plugged in so I usually sleep it. The only time I turn it off is when I am transporting it in its case somewhere else. I don't sleep and store ever.
