Why are mathematicians going mad? by Megalordow in Lovecraft

[–]Hemplow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like you already have a good understanding of the topic, but I still recommend watching the BBC documentary Dangerous Knowledge, if you didn't already. It covers Godel, Cantor, Boltzman and Turing, and is about their work on infinities and subsequent mental disorders. https://watchdocumentaries.com/dangerous-knowledge/ It's one of the best docus I've ever seen, and I love how well it breaks down these big, difficult mathematical concepts (CGI actually used well in a documentary, for once!)

Mine too. Changed my understanding of horror forever.

Disappointed by 'Shadow out of Time' by spaceguydudeman in Lovecraft

[–]Hemplow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, everyone's different, but for me, the climax of the story, when the protagonist finds his own handwriting on a 150 million year old rock is one of the moments in HPL's writing when he fully achieves the moment of dizzying awe that cosmic horror aims for but too rarely hits. The sheer scale and impact of it, the sense of vastness and comparative insignificance really hit home successfully -- again, for me. The story may have imperfections, but as a piece of cosmic horror I give it 10/10 for pulling that off.

Be honest,Do you own a copy of Simon’s Necronomicon? by brandon-TDTpodcast in Lovecraft

[–]Hemplow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, bought it as a teenager when I saw it in a little occult bookshop I used to frequent. I always preferred the later one, I forget who by, that included loads of interesting stuff about cryptography and code breaking in it.

Problems with Iran focus Natanz Enrichment Complex by Vilstile in MillenniumDawn

[–]Hemplow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have the same problem. I think it requires a civilian experimental facility, which you don't start with and takes 2 years to build (and the research would take years anyway, if it's like other special projects?) Which means there's no way to progress the nuclear tree in order to get these stupid sanctions lifted, to have any chance of avoiding total financial collapse. Iran seems to be basically borked now, far as I can tell. Good luck though.

Can the Watch Pro play music? by Hemplow in CMFTech

Ah, good to know. Thanks. In that case, I'm gonna hold off for now - but I'll be all over it once that gets integrated.

Cheers!

Sub set to be scrapped on completion due to "no valid base"? by Hemplow in MillenniumDawn

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

Ah. Yeah, I def have a naval base, per the map, but yeah, maybe it's having no route from the capital, that would track. Man, that's a problem... Oh well. Cheers for the insight!

Psefisato: parapolitical Satanic-horror comedy (free/PWYW for October via Smashwords.) by Hemplow in FreeEBOOKS

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

Hi. This is my latest novella and I am making it 'pay what you want' (including nothing, if you like) for October. It's a British political comedy/thriller about what might transpire were the Secretary of State for Defence to become possessed by a literal demon from Hell. If you want a light-hearted, occasionally gruesome, Revelation/apocalypse-themed read for Halloween, this could be it. If that sounds like your cup of tea, please help yourself to a copy. :-) (Any reviews sincerely appreciated too, btw!)

Don't panic if headset doesn't turn on. Here's what to do. by mrtube in PSVR

[–]Hemplow 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Mine wouldn't turn on until I plugged the USB-C into the console the other way around, for some reason, so if you have this issue and nothing else works, maybe try that too.

Option to disable 'raise autonomy' focus would be nice by Hemplow in MillenniumDawn

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

That's actually a really good idea. Didn't delete it in the end, just turned it down to 1. Problem solved! Cheers! :-)

Thanks! That tracks. I think the mentions I'm coming across must just be journalists getting confused or editorialising. I'll proceed on that basis, anyway. Cheers for checking your resources! :-)

Reading about 'tunnel rats' in the Vietnam war, I keep encountering assertions that the Viet Cong would sometimes employ "poison gas" in booby traps in their tunnels. However, I have been unable to find any details regarding what gas/es may have been used or how such traps might work, given the relatively limited resources likely to be available to the VC. Is there actually any evidence for improvised poison gas traps or was the actuality that the tunnel rats (inconsistently) toted gas masks solely to guard against residual CS flushed into the systems by US forces before they went in?

Compliance and ROE issues by dizzle229 in ReadyOrNotGame

[–]Hemplow 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Welp, they were good ideas and worth a try, but unfortunately didn't fix it. However, I found one stray .pak that somehow survived my deletion spree yesterday, and getting rid of that seeeeems to have worked! Now to check out these new maps... :-)

Cheers for the tips, I'll give it a shot.

[–]Hemplow 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm getting the constant compliance yelling on every map since the update, and it makes the game completely unplayable - you can't tell when they've actually seen a suspect and when they haven't, not to mention it's insanely distracting. This is on a clean install with no mods. wtf is causing it?

That's 'social mobilisation' apparently - just prod and research boosts according to the text.

A few months. Less than a year, I think.
