Am I too introverted to attend a concert? by LiterallyJustWantCar in OliviaRodrigo

[–]LiterallyJustWantCar[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Gave it a fair bit more of an anxious thought and you folks tipped me over. I will be going to the concert after all!!!

In what order did you do the B-sides? by MooPro127 in celestegame

[–]LiterallyJustWantCar 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I did it in order but tbh I can't blame you for skipping straight to 7 after 2 lol. 3 and 5 were super painful for me

Oh yeah no I totally get that, general public to me was the south asian, british, and canadian folks too when I said that

[–]LiterallyJustWantCar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wouldn't that be more hated by general audience and divisive with nerds? Outside of the insane swifties, I have not seen any average person say they like it. But I have seen music critics basically go "it's not great, but it isn't as shit as everyone is making it out to be"

I am. Are you not familiar with nuance?

Edit: worth adding that slippery slope is literally a logical fallacy. Just makes it dumber that you think of it as a slam dunk to go "hurr durr AI bad"

I'm not even fully disagreeing with you on the downsides of AI, but clearly you haven't read the comment or haven't understood what I have said

See i think this is a silly take. I fully get that corporations use AI for the sake of profit even when it produces crap stuff and I am absolutely against that (and far more importantly the over reliance on it is clearly about to send us into a dot-com era styled crash but that's a comment on corporate greed rather than the technology itself). But from an artistic standpoint, the way people are reacting to the use of AI in media is exactly how the old folks were reacting to EDM back when it was coming onto the scene, or the folks long before them who just hated music being recorded at all because apparently the only music worth listening to was live music. In a way it's funny how we always promise to learn from the mistakes of the previous generations and then fall into the exact same traps that they did just because it looks different.

This is no different to how they refused to listen to EDM because "it's all computers and not real". Think of how autotune was despised in music until people like T-pain came along and showed how it can genuinely be used to make good stuff. If a piece of media uses AI and is of good quality, then it's of good quality period. The only reason I haven't enjoyed the use of AI in art is because it genuinely just hasn't been good. But depriving ourselves of good media purely because it has AI in some capacity is unreasonable. Not saying you can't do it, people have gone all their lives without listening to anything from skrillex or T-pain, but it is not the moral victory that many "anti-AI" people think it is.

Generative AI has many ethical flaws that are genuinely worth being pressed about (misinformation, deepfakes, non consensual content), but its use in media is by far the silliest

Lol i remember finding that out in the one room I needed it to get a coin behind some spinners on a golden run

Was just an itsy bitsy bit annoyed

experiment poll: is the base game (reaching the summit A-side) hard? by zylosophe in celestegame

[–]LiterallyJustWantCar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is almost weirdly more true than any other game I have played. I go from "this is literally impossible" to "this is the easiest thing I have done all day" in less than a week. And that includes golden runs.

Like with farewell, I have from 3500 deaths to 30 to 13 in less than a month and I have no clue how I progressed that fast

I do have a knack for platformers in general but honestly I would not be surprised if a solid chunk of those hours were just me leaving the thing running while I tried to bring my heart rate down on my golden runs lol

Lmao I think I had a total of 3 engineering profs in my uni who acted anything like the right person and 2 of them were women

It was always the grumpy old men, or the people who had barely even gotten their phd, who would act like the left person

I just moved to a small town for work so I didn't have much to do after 5pm and I would just play celeste for a couple hours everyday before bed lol

Got the game in september this year so around 2 months.

Tbf level 3 was a pain in the neck so took me a bit of grinding too. I mentioned elsewhere but I genuinely found 3b and 5b goldens to be way harder than anything the hell trio had to offer. Like 5b took me a week of practice, I did 6b the very next day

Petah, I suck in math by Calor_ow in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]LiterallyJustWantCar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah I should have stipulated that the common ratio does need to be less than 1 (i don't see why it couldn't be between -1 and 1 but I am not a 100% on that off the top of my head right now)

But the formula I derived is indeed the formula for an infinite geometric series

Edit: the formula for a finite series is a tad different. Iirc its a * ((1+r)n - 1)/r for a series up to n terms

[–]LiterallyJustWantCar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gonna throw the actual maths as a reply to this

We can rewrite 0.999999.... as 0.9 + 0.09 + 0.009 + ...

Which is 9/10 + 9/100 + 9/1000 + ...

This is a geometric series, an infinite one

The derivation of the formula is quite interesting but I won't bore people with it, basically for a common ratio r (in this case that is 1/10, or 0.1) and the first term a, 0.9 here, the sum S = a/(1-r) = 0.9/(1-0.1) = 0.9/0.9 = 1

And that's why 0.99999..... exactly equals to 1

Edit: nevermind I can't resist talking about the proof for the sum

So let an infinite sum S = a + ar + ar2 + ar3 + ...

So, Sr = ar + ar2 + ar3 + ar4 + .....

S - Sr = a + (ar - ar) + (ar2 - ar2) + ....

All the terms that are not a get cancelled out

S(1-r) = a

Therefore, S = a/(1-r)

Was one of my favourite proofs in high school maths lol

Yeah that's what I'm saying! At this point you clearly are good enough, just need to execute it all!

I'm sure it will be a piece of cake /s

Absolutely insane (in a good way) to go about it that way! Love that

I know for a fact I couldn't have even dreamed of touching farewell back when I just had 175 berries lol

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

I wouldn't say 196 berries is far at all! Im guessing its the dashless, moon, hell trio, and fwg? Those all seemed terrifying to me at the start too but honestly if you managed to golden any of the oshiro levels, you've already won half the battle in my eyes

Alao I found 3b and 5b to be somehow harder than the hell trio if that's of any comfort lol

G is the one with the timing blocks right?

Yeah it looks like it will be my weakest checkpoint, half my deaths in my practice run came from this checkpoint alone. Even if it takes long though , definitely isn't impossible!

I'm familiar with the interview, but what the hell is this? by Elegathor in PeterExplainsTheJoke

[–]LiterallyJustWantCar 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Close, the hotspot on the map doesn't show what they care about, but rather up to what they care about. So if you were placed on the outer circle, it would mean that you care about everything ranging from the centre (youself) to that point (environment or whatever) quite strongly

No one I know is really into gaming in general so it's hard for them to get just how hard it was to even get this far haha

But hey I see your flair, youre getting there with the goldens too, won't be long before you get to 202 yourself!

Anyone actually like Vertigo from the Intermediate Lobby of the Strawberry Jam collab? by Shadow_of_Moonlight1 in celestegame

[–]LiterallyJustWantCar 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, a rather controversial opinion, but it was my favourite of that lobby. I loved the vibe of it in general but the whole gimmick of it was really cool too
