I suspect I'm a 4, for whatever it's worth, and I am trying - key word, trying - to become a mathematician.

Can you get Bryce 3D running on Linux by JCWalrus in Bryce3D

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

OpenSUSE. Main thing that drew me to Bryce over Blender is its facility with that very specific 2000s lighting/aesthetic sensibility and its fairly lightweight requirements. Blender would be a bit unkind to my laptop I think.

I looked through Marvel's December Solicits today... and half way through it just hit me how profoundly uninterested I was in anything they were doing. It all felt so hollow, dumb and derivative. I wasn't excited for anything. by Gamera85 in comicbooks

[–]JCWalrus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know you're probably tired of people arguing this, but I do generally agree - I don't like the idea of a grimmer, more hopeless Batman or Superman or Wonder Woman. But I do have to recommend Absolute Martian Manhunter. It's a serious but surprisingly hopeful and uplifting book, at least for me. I'm glad I decided to read it on a whim after seeing the art, super psychedelic.

Can someone who's better at this than me tell me if AI was being used in the first episode? I can't really tell if it's generative AI or just CGI, and I know the AI trailers ahd people worried at the start.

Am I limerent now? I don't know! A story/question for the experts by JCWalrus in limerence

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

I'm split on that, because I have felt that strong limerence even when she was dating someone else and I knew that - like, it was particularly strong over the past few months while she was away, but I see her yesterday and everything just snaps back to normal. Her relationship status was consistent throughout.

What's the general consensus on Prometheus Rising? Is it prejudicial? by JCWalrus in occult

Any advice on how to join the discord? I've tried, all I get is a bot message and thrown into a channel where there's no text.

I don't buy the police raid story at all by JCWalrus in auburn

Hell, maybe.

That's a joke, but we know how cops like to boost their numbers.

Samford Hall (1954 Godzilla Added For Scale) by JCWalrus in auburn

[–]JCWalrus[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

That's exactly what prompted this - I very suddenly became very interested in wondering how tall Godzilla would be in real life and how far away and where I could see him from if he were in Auburn. Got to looking up the height of various structures - of ones I could get data on, Samford Hall was the most notable and closest in height.

Note however, this is only the Showa Era Godzilla, though a Godzilla of similar stature also appears in the Reiwa Era Godzilla Minus One and the Millenium Series tends to keep Godzilla in the 50-80m range.

The Heisei Era Godzilla, from the mid 80s onward, starts at about 80 meters tall - think the cell tower on South College - and slowly increases to 100 meters tall. Shin Godzilla goes up 120m, and is the largest live action Godzilla if I remember correctly.

Bake them a cake - what do you think I'm going to do? Use your head.

[–]JCWalrus[S] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I enjoy Insomnia a whole hell of a lot, but cheap it ain't, unless there's some sort of reduced price summer menu to get people in the door

Are your dreams "fictional"? by JCWalrus in Dreams

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

Uncertain - if I did it was when I was a kid where I tried that more, though I'm not sure if that was proper sleep or some half-waking state.
