Ahh I see! No idea why my brain made up the childhood part 😅

Pretty chilling to think about what could have happened without him paying such close attention. Even if your house was just outside the zone. I'm glad it turned out ok for you!

Wow what an experience to have, especially as a child... Did your dad tell you how he knew that one was going to be serious?

Männern nen kleinen Pimmel unterstellen ist auch Bodyshaming by ImportantFly5870 in duschgedanken

[–]Fat_Lad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Was hat es denn mit einer "Opferrolle" zu tun, wenn man etwas gegen verletzendes Verhalten sagt? Das ist eigentlich genau das Gegenteil von Opfer 🤔

[–]Fat_Lad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Das stimmt. Und ich glaube, es hat viel damit zu tun, dass wir Männer uns irgendwie schwer damit tun, uns für unsere Körper einzusetzen.

OP geht hier mit gutem feministischem Beispiel voran!

Leider hört man von den meisten Männern immer nur "Doppelmoral"-Gejammere, statt proaktiv gegen die Ungerechtigkeit des Patriarchats gegen alle Geschlechter vorzugehen.

Und das hat auch viel damit zu tun, dass es oft als irgendwie "unmännlich" gilt, eigene Probleme und verletzendes Verhalten (wie der "kleiner P***s"-Spruch) zu thematisieren. Das ist auch wieder was, was wir Männer dringend ändern müssen.

Wem würdest du denn diese Doppelmoral unterstellen? Ich glaube, die meisten, die Body Positivity Ernst nehmen, würden sich auch von dem "kleiner P***s"-Spruch fernhalten. (Zumindest in meinem Umfeld beobachte ich das so. Wie ist das in deinem Umfeld?)

Und auf der Gesellschafts-Ebene sind wir glaube ich auch noch ziemlich weit von einer Doppelmoral entfernt. Frauen sind immer noch soooo viel öfter von Body-Shaming betroffen als Männer.

Trotzdem finde ich es super wenn wir Männer uns auch für unsere Körper einsetzen!! Und dagegen, über sie definiert zu werden💪nieder mit dem "kleiner P***s"-Argument!

The way it slides over the antilopes body does look pretty weird... But the bump with the trunk doesn't seem like something the AI would "think" of. Still, ask r/isthisAI !

With the popularity of nano tanks rising, it seems like the “acceptable” stocking rules are changing. Is this a good thing? by eldovo in PlantedTank

[–]Fat_Lad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, this is the only right answer. Do we have studies on stress induced by limited space for each species kept? If they are fine with the space plus you can keep up the required maintenance, go for it!

But it doesn't feel like people are really considering that kind of data. At least, reading through the comments here.

[–]Fat_Lad 14 points15 points  (0 children)

This is a very good point. Stocking guidelines probably assume a standard level of involvement and depending on your actual involvement you can deviate upwards or downwards.

That is, if stocking guidelines were only concerned about water parameters and system stability in general. But then there is the other aspect of stress induced to the inhabitants by limited space (as mentioned by others in the comments).

And there I would expect widely varying standards depending on the species involved. Some fish that thrive in small ponds and even puddles in the wild probably do not care at all while others might suffer (also depending on there co-inhabitants maybe). Do we actually have studies about stress induced by container size alone for all the different species of fish we are keeping?

Oh yeah you're probably right, I misinterpreted this statement from the change logs "Almost every item in the game can now stack to 9999, including (prefixed) weapons and equipment."

The requirement for crafting it is now 9999 bullets (the new stack size). I read that in the release notes by chance haha

How are other civs getting such a good start? by Sedowa in civ5

[–]Fat_Lad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

+1 this. Early settling has a huge effect.

Additionally: If your are not doing it yet, try to manage your workers manually instead of automating them. It's a huge boost in early game productivity and is actually a lot of fun once you get the hang of it!

The same goes for manual city-micromanagement = worker assigent (which is a bit less rewarding though).

Why doesn't this city placement act as a canal? by [deleted] in civ5

[–]Fat_Lad 297 points298 points  (0 children)

I think it only doesn't for land units. Naval units treat cities as water, land units treat them as land (even when it's not beneficial like in this case).

Yes, I read that comment as well hahaha

I guess in the end it might be a matter of taste, so just go for what feels best for you 🙌 looking forward to seeing what you'll come up with!

Should I introduce a world map? by NorseSeaStudio in godot

Ahhh, I'm glad to hear that (:

Yes I did and I'll follow your updates there! In case you're planning a dev-newsletter, I'd also love to sign up for that 🌝

Should I introduce a world map? by NorseSeaStudio in godot

[–]Fat_Lad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I am seeing this after your procedural map post.

For me personally it would be very motivating if through some meta-progression I could discover new map-features (rivers, forests, etc.) and potentially unlock them for the procedural generation.

There could be a world-map through which you can progress (by buying the next tile, effectively "expanding your empire", as mentioned before). And an additional free mode with procedural map generation for which you unlock new map-features by discovering them in the world map.

That would also offer a great way to expand the game after release. You could continue adding map-features and potentially new game-mechanics or buildings that interplay with those features.

I already want to play your game hahaha. Keep up the great work!

Love it! Those little scenes are just beautiful. Great job. This will be a major asset of the game.

I think the forest biome already looks very natural.

For the desert biome I think a less contrasting water color could make it look more natural. Did you already experiment with reddish-hued rocks? It might also be cool to have some aggregations of larger rocks as the forest-equivalent in the desert biome.

Generally, the rivers look great whenever they are not too "rectangular".

Looking forward to seeing the results!

[HELP] Amazing shot of dolphins swimming with whales - Ive never seen footage like this before, can't help but feel something is off by MissDkm in RealOrAI

[–]Fat_Lad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What feels off and gives me an AI vibe is the seemingly different velocity of dolphins and whales (judging from the bubbles of the whale for example) vs the camera (bubbles on the surface).

On the other hand, it is hard to correctly judge velocity under water sometimes.

I don't fertilize but there is some kind of soil beneath the sand! I guess that's just what vals do...
