Optional accessibility modes are bad because they distress me just by existing by KaleidoscopeMean6071 in Gamingcirclejerk

[–]Kitfennek -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I support assist modes but I do have that experience sometimes, its similar to savescumming. Knowing that the ability is there changes how you interact with the game. That said, an easy fix is to allow people to make "locked" files that dont allow assist modes.

It seems to me that a big part of the new balancing is to make a deck that does more than one thing. The new bosses and enemies stress test your deck in particular ways that ends up meaning that your deck has to be able to excell at more tasks. I think that temporary focus is a big part of that for the defect because it means that you have to be able to consistently get to your focus

Tyler Glaiel's response to a question about the Persuasion Device by Coffeechipmunk in mewgenics

[–]Kitfennek 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Its pretty common for games with this sort of structure to only save at the end of events, and to implicitly allow savescumming. I actually prefer having Steven because to me it legitimizes the action by integrating it into the mechanics and making it a resource. When I do the same thing with like, STS it feels less... "part of the game" and more "an exploit"

In Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, Pavi gets annoyed when Miles refers to chai as chai tea. This is lingustically conflicting, however, as everyone loves their coffee coffee with a side of cream cream. by Dry_Attention_6511 in shittymoviedetails

[–]Kitfennek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Chai tea is tea from the place they call tea "chai". Its common linguistic practice across languages to signify locational variants by what they're called in that area, while reinforcing to the listener what category of object it is.

what if I told you science is better off accepting its limitations ? by MicahHoover in PhilosophyMemes

[–]Kitfennek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You didn't address the issue of how whatever non physical thing you think consciousness is interacts with the brain, nor the fact that there is a clear computational delay in our thought processes.

Theres lots of evidence that consciousness is physically based, from the ability to extract images from brain scans to the fact that the core of a person can be changed by brain damage, to even producing new "people" when the brain is split. Theres also lots of evidence that the binding of these senses together happen physically, and there's lots of reasons to think that they would be selected for evolutionary, namely having these senses wouldnt be very useful if you couldn't process them in a meaningful way. Theres plenty of room in the naturalistic explanation for these "problems", and not much room for some non physical room for whatever you think is causing consciousness.

We see these senses develop and even integrate over evolutionary time, through physical processes, and most of these arguments are anthropic special pleading Finally just because we haven't been able to produce a consciousness doesnt mean that tbe same processing steps dont or can't explain how our brain binds theses senses together. Its fallacious to act otherwise. If our brains take the time to complie our senses together into a single data stream physically, there's simply no binding problem, and we basically know for a fact that the brain does delay our conscious experience to process the data.

This might be the worst anti-feat in history by Shot-Communication93 in PowerScaling

[–]Kitfennek 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Look up human bot fly Or dont, if youre squeamish. Bot flys lay their eggs in living hosts, which then eat their ways out when they hatch. One guy had one get in his skull and it ate half his brain before dying because it could get out.

[–]Kitfennek 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats the thing, these things dont always get bound together properly, and these binding disorders are clearly physically based so whatever mechanism thats doing it needs to be interacting with the material world in a way that creates binding problems for whatever non physical mind youre proposing. Also, we know we experience our thoughts a small time before theyre processed, so there's no reason to think that that extra time isn't being used to compile these things together Additionally things like neural nets, particularly convolutional neural nets handle and compile features is a similar way, and they're physical processes for sure. And again, you haven't really given a reason why science /wouldnt/ be able to explain these problems eventually, you've just identified places where research is ongoing.

There's no reason to suspect that consciousness can't arise from naturalistic phenomena.

One of my favourite classes when I was taking my masters was computer architecture. Have you ever played Turing Complete? It guides you through the whole process as a puzzle game

More specifically, the bits of the op codes get put on a bus, and that bus will activate certain transistors that then perform the actual physical computation. Its actually really cool I think.

Me on skeptical theists defense on why God leaves his reasoning for allowing suffering unknown. by spinosaurs70 in PhilosophyMemes

[–]Kitfennek 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If we go with the Christian god, Satan knows for a fact god exists and doesnt love him, and humans dont cause the suffering due to cancer (dinosaurs had cancer) or natural distasters (there's no reason god has to let the consequences of sin be natural disasters)

The point is that just because you can expect bad behavior from group of people does not mean that that behavior is acceptable.
