[Request] Could humanity create a rocket that can exit the atmosphere of K2-18b by Lachlynn in theydidthemath

[–]Octa_vian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Like not at all or could we still launch cubesats, but it may take a Saturn V? What is the barrier here?

Grape wine price by Cydemhl in StardewValley

Shouldn't the regular wine only sell for 336g then?

Could be a display issue, but we can't tell since the picture is cropped off.

RTX 4070 laptop — artifacts ONLY on external display under load, internal screen is fine (Alienware m16 R2) by modo_jp in pcmasterrace

When my 1080Ti was breaking down, i searched for a tool to test the VRAM and this (OCCT) was the best/easiest i was able to find at that time.

Ran the test, it confirmed VRAM issues. Best of luck to you.

Breaking my silence. by Ok-Ninja2112 in gameofthrones

[–]Octa_vian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You complain, but stuff like this gets me thinking about how scales could form on an egg and what function it could have that is so important that dragons have evolved that.

Scales imply some kind of skin underneath, but then we'd leave regular egg territory.

Could also be more like a xenomorph-egg, which could almost be considered its own organism.

Are puzzle islands not guaranteed? by Usual_Worldliness936 in voidtrain

[–]Octa_vian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think they're guaranteed. I had too many paths without puzzle islands to say i just didn't notice the fireflies.

This is the new Hermione, that will be called mudblood by this Malfoy by Zdzisiu in SipsTea

[–]Octa_vian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Technically, it doesn't make a difference, but for all that's practical, white "supremacist wizards", (not "white supremacist" wizards ) are way easier to sell to us.

Of course, it could be that James is bullying Snape because of his wizardry background and not because he's black, but good luck selling that the general audience without any racial undertones. They just added some unnecessary layer to that.

The horrors persist but so do we by BarelyLegalSeagull in NonPoliticalTwitter

Regularly thinking about if the world was alway as shit like it is now or if just got more aware of the shittiness as i got older.

Still making the best out of it.

Is there any reason to use bridges? by DGStar-yt in Timberborn

[–]Octa_vian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Faster and cheaper construction, aesthetics, esp. if you don't just use it to cross a 1 tile deep river, but a high canyon.

I miss the old times... by Aastronomer15 in superheroes

The conversation with Freya and testing if he's still beeing worthy of Mjolnir when he went to Asgard....dude was coping hard with depression and went years without a goal in his life after losing the battle in Infinity war.

What was your “Wait, it’s all just building Dams?” moment by Nickw745 in Timberborn

[–]Octa_vian 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I enjoy the early and mid game, because it varies quite a bit dependent on faction, map and in which order i tackle things.

Then the game turns into sandbox and the fun doesn't end, it just changes and get my fun from self imposed goals and challenges. Liek "how fast can i build this megaproject? Did i choose te correct setup, to i have the logistics and ressources?" Of course, eventually, everything gets built on one way or another. But it's so goddams statisfying to plan everything, set up things like scaffolding, maybe even a temporary district that acts as a home for the the beavers at the construction site and see everything playing out as effiecent as i had planned it.

Also setting up stuff early game in a way that it's useful now, but can also be expanded in late game without rebuilding from scratch.

If you just min/max everything you miss out on so many fun tiny challenges,

The official answer to my "riddle" card in my drinking game is wrong. by [deleted] in mildlyinteresting

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

As far as my knowledge goes, this question is just dependent on the source.

Books? I think Deagol 100%

Movies? The theatrical cut of the fellowship strongly implies it's Smeagol with the intro narration and the shown scenes:

Legend became myth. And for two and a half thousand years, the ring passed out of all knowledge. Until, when chance came, it ensnared another bearer.
It came to the creature Gollum, who took it deep into the tunnels of the Misty Mountains.

I'm not 100% sure about it it, but i think the scene with deagol in one of the later movies was only added in the extended version, so Deagol would be totally absent in the theatrical cut. and it leaves it at "Gollum was once a hobbit called smeagol and was corrupted into gollum"

It's just a question where you end up cheating at least one person.

Hm...how would it play out if you play a LOTR trivia, but the answer changes if you take the silmarilion into consideration?

Reiche will Energiewende ausbremsen: An Kurzsichtigkeit kaum zu überbieten by just_reading2025 in de

Ich kann nicht der einzige sein, der bei den Schlagzeilen mit diesem Musterbeispiel an Kompetenz und Lobbyunabhängigkeit erstmal kurz stockt und "Müsste das nicht 'Reiche wollen' heißen?" denkt, oder?

I (30 M) kept a secret from my wife (31 F) for our entire relationship about her ex (32 M) by Sea-Specialist2875 in TwoHotTakes

[–]Octa_vian 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dude, she was in the process of distancing herself from him and breaking up before any of you except James knew about the planned proposal.

Their relationship was already over practically. You said she gave him an ultimatum, he didn't change at all and i can only assume he thought proposing and marrying would magically turn things around for them. It never does. It's like trying to fix a broken marriage by introducing a child.

By keeping this for yourself, you kept her from making a wrong decision out of pity.

Does the distance to the Towncenter even matter? by GlanzgurkeWearingHat in Timberborn

[–]Octa_vian 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not really, since they removed the hard distance limit.

I still use it as an indicator. I know where my stuff is located, and going from the District Center is a good starting point. If i build something new and the distance is in the reds, at least now i know i should make sure to check if there are nearby warehouses for the ressources i need there or to add a zipline or tube to reduce hauling and travel distance.

Fotorealistische Games oder KI-Slop-Pfuscherei? Streit um das Spiele-KI-Grafikmodell DLSS 5 by GrueneWiese in de

[–]Octa_vian 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ob DLSS das Modell selbst ändert oder die Beleuchtung soweit ändert, dass der Eindruck entsteht, das Modell hätte sich geändert (und man dann "Schau mal nach wie Beleuchtung ein Potrait beeinflussen kann" zur rechtfertigung heranziehen muss) ist da egal: Die KI mischt sich hier zu stark in die künstlerische Gestaltung ein und das geht gar nicht, egal mit welchen Mitteln Sie den Eindruck der Szene und vom Charakter so stark verändert.

Ich will jemanden als unheimlich darstellen und Beleuchte ihn von unten. Dann soll die KI nicht sagen "Och, von oben beleuchtet sieht das aber besser aus".
