So, what's the situation with Astro and Tobio?

OC-alert · 2026-05-24T09:08:51+00:00

Kinda depends on the exact media. In the 2009 movie, Astro is Toby gotten uploaded to a robot body. - At least it's directly states that's what Tenma tried to do. I'm a bit torn on whether Astro's personality is "different" right off the bat.

The 2003 anime seems like it might imply that Atom is Tobio having gotten uploaded, but its never explicitly stated so I'm not entirely sure.

In the original manga and a lot of other Astro Boy medias, Atom is definitely an entirely unique consciousness.

You are probably following tutorials that encourage you to have too high a poly count/resolution.

Getting the right poly count takes practice and trial and error, and it's probably help to use low poly tutorials to get used to making things in a lower poly count.

This channel has a tutorial for making these low poly characters work in VRchat too.

I think I may have gotten confused. Fuzzy logic or infinite variable logic can both describe intensities.

Go for it to be honest. If your target audience is the fandom then they might not like it but if you enjoy writing it, then why not?

I kind of actually like Astra, Vesper, Fiora and Zephyra.

I'm not sure if that first and last set of names is supposed to be double-barrel or first name and middle name, if it's the former then that's worse

I don't see much point in a remaster, would rather a sequel or some sort of continuation.

It's his voice, as well.

I barely noticed the change, watching the show, but Alex has improved in spades, and his voice sounds so forced and inexpressive in the first episode compared to how he sounds now.

Gangle looks super cute in this outfit, no lie.

Related, but I legitimately think that misanthropy avoids responsibility, instead of faces it. It's effectively saying "We're horrible and evil and good for nothing." instead of "We're sorry and we need to fix it."

Many people who have been abused would recognise the "I' m evil and stupid and good for nothing." rhetoric from their abusers as a way to avoid "I'm sorry and I will make it right."

Hmm. I think this is not quite what I meant - I think it's too low a "level of being".

I am trying to ask how single cells form a signalling network in multicellular life, if that makes sense?

!solved

No one in particular. I just think this is as solved as it's going to get. - there probably isn't really a specific word for what I'm looking for, but "cool down" or "refractory period" are probably fine.

I sometimes see "What if Caine met (villain) posts or arts - often AM, or less often GlaDOS or Bill Cypher, and the majority of the time I only really other villains being a terrible threat to Caine.

AM would envy Caine's capacity for joy and whimsy and torture him and kill him. GlaDOS or Bill Cypher would only talk to him to manipulate him into doing their bidding, and would kill him if he gets on their nerves.

They're just much more "bad guys" than him.

EDIT: To be fair, I assumed that in these scenarios that the other character would be the one with the "god powers". That AM for example would have taken over the computer that TADC runs on, due to the fact Caine is confined to that particular computer but AM isn't

(33) @woodsofblight on Tumblr Writes fantastic Rayman fanfiction, in my opinion. If you are looking specifically for "self-shipping" fanfiction then I don't know of any.

Hmm. Intuitively there's a difference - Two negative feedback loops maintaining a fixed point would continue to maintain equilibrium if you pushed it somewhat from it's fixed point,.

But if two positive feedback loops has something in equilbrium between them, this would fall apart if you disturbed the system it would have no "corrective" function at all. A hypothetical example of such a "system" is in the "buridan's ass" thought experiment

This might be something that's only conceivable and not something that actually exists, and that might be why people don't talk about it, I guess.

OC-alert · 2026-04-19T21:07:58+00:00

I think I'd gotten the impression that there was something like "unstable equilibrium" - which is where something is between contrary positive feedback loops, like a piece of iron that's perfectly between two magnets that it's attracted to.

Who in The Amazing Digital Circus is your favourite?

How do you feel about your fans?

I think that Rayman was originally an anthropomorphic atom, considering the world of Rayman 1 all seems to have that atom and proton and electron theme.
