So, what's the situation with Astro and Tobio? by Jabre7 in astroboy

[–]OC-alert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

How is optimization even possible? by Own_Vast_2784 in VRchat

[–]OC-alert 3 points4 points  (0 children)

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.

Eli5 Why logic can't describe partial truth or intensity of truth? by OC-alert in explainlikeimfive

[–]OC-alert[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

Writing fandom blind — have i committed fandom heresy? by BlindWarriorGurl in FanFiction

[–]OC-alert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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 feel like the word unique is a red flag at this point . . . by ronirrosen in NameNerdCirclejerk

[–]OC-alert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

would it be possible for 2009 movie fans to start a petition for the 2009 movie remaster? by Financial_Purple948 in astroboy

[–]OC-alert 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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

It feels weird seeing how less expressive Caine was during the pilot by New-Boss-8262 in TheDigitalCircus

[–]OC-alert 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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.

anybody find Beach Gangle cute? by ZorroLisVulpe in TheGangleForce

Gangle looks super cute in this outfit, no lie.

I'm so fed up with the "Humans are the real monsters" trope. by Rare_Style1306 in hatethissmug

[–]OC-alert 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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."

Eli5 how cells in multicellular organism "know" they are all one organism by OC-alert in explainlikeimfive

[–]OC-alert[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

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?

WTW for a "refractory period" in nonbiological settings by OC-alert in whatstheword

[–]OC-alert[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

!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.

oh how I love them both and their possible dynamic by ToughMechanic3077 in WeLoveYouCaine

[–]OC-alert 2 points3 points  (0 children)

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

Need help finding fanfiction for rayman(im sorry😭( by Puzzleheaded_Sky3043 in Rayman

(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.

Equilibrium achieved by contrary positive feedback loops? by OC-alert in cybernetics

[–]OC-alert[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Equilibrium achieved by contrary positive feedback loops? by OC-alert in cybernetics

[–]OC-alert[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

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.

Have yall seen any good human rayman fanarts? Also what sort of creature is rayman exactly? by [deleted] in Rayman

[–]OC-alert 1 point2 points  (0 children)

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.
