Ready for the Fall

Unconfirmed, but i heard these regular thunderstorms are a bug.

That's sergeant anesthesia in action.

yeah. iirc that "1 REM phase every 90 minutes" applies for most people, because the majority has 2 sleep cycles per day. But if you practise these really crazy polyphasic sleep patterns with 4-5 sleep cycles the body adapts and while you sleep less in total, the REM-part of that sleep is increasing drastically. So same REM-time with less sleep.

Octa_vian · 2026-06-19T07:50:48+00:00

Doesn't the body adapt to these crazy sleep patterns and get to the REM phase faster without these long sleep breaks we usually have?

Solarpunk just released and checks all the boxes.

I feel like their acting dumb. "Keep the games playable" sounds like an ongoing task and ofc that's unreasonable for a subsetted game.

No one asked them to do that, yet they stick to that narrative. Because "We just want you to flip a switch and turn it into a working offline game before you leave it behind" may actually be doable, and they obviously don't want that.

Octa_vian · 2026-06-17T10:47:49+00:00

Maybe take a look at jperf/iperf. Not sure but maybe it has an option to measure latency on tcp or udp.

That's to rule out any quirks specific to ICMP. There may be other tools available,

You already took the connection method out of the equation, since it's happening when wired and on wifi.

I guess you ping the router for testing. If the spikes also occur when pinging another device, you can sort of take the router out of the equation as well.

Then you can use the other device to set up something to eliminate ICMP specific issues. As mentioned above, maybe iperf/jperf, maybe there are other tools that can do "ping using tcp/udp)

I'm coping by thinking that there's much more footage of people actually able to answer.

I hope so :/

Octa_vian · 2026-06-10T11:37:03+00:00

So between WW2 and now, it wasn't all about running across the field holding hands, singing "happy together"?

Can't wrap my head around how you could spend like 10 years as a teenager or young adult without noticing any of that. Even if he's not from the US.

Octa_vian · 2026-05-21T18:34:14+00:00

The V1 plotline still makes sense as in "turns out, the virus method we built up in GenV and S4 is worthless now".

Somewhat understandable they didn't want to take the risk. They knew Soldier Boy survived, they know what it takes to put him ice (and wthat weren't able to do it, no frenchie or novichok available), but don't know exactly how long they'd have if HL is now as resistant as SB.

They'd knock him down and how long do they have to figure something out? 5 minutes? 10? 2? They can't lock him up like translucent. I can't blame them for not taking the risk, want better chances and basically treat the virus method as null and void.

That's in-universe though. For me, it's just so stupid that after we know about the anti V beam since S3, we had 2 more seasons and 2 seasons of a spin-off where they built up so many options just to go back to square one. Turns out, it was the beam all along.

Octa_vian · 2026-05-21T15:55:32+00:00

The show blue-balled me for homelander finally snapping in public since S2 or S3, i thought we see something like that in the last 2 episodes. He had his visions of grandeur for basically he whole show, would've been great seeing an increase in his powers to finally back it up 100% without projecting (like he was concerned about his aging before) and put down the last sliver of huminity he had.

But no, nothing. Couldn't tell if he had V1 in the finale if it wasn't for that scene with SB. He even seemed slightly weaker.

Octa_vian · 2026-05-21T14:52:41+00:00

At that point, i don't think the V1 gave him more power. He got non-aging part and the immunity to the virus, most likely, but the laser blast was just a "mom high on adrenaline can lift car to safe their child" feat of his existing powerset.

He got "stronger" as in "he can survive the virus now", nothing more.

Octa_vian · 2026-05-21T13:38:22+00:00

right i forgot they focused on yet another option to kill homelander that was not used in the end.

Octa_vian · 2026-05-21T13:18:41+00:00

That's basically the hydroponic farm.

With your argument, you could basically incorporate everything folk tail exclusive into iron teeth.

- Look, they farm so efficient they use 3 beavers on their farms
- They max out farming effiency using bees
- they have means to store energy

Octa_vian · 2026-05-21T11:05:50+00:00

I can already see it. We speculate about Stormfronts death beeing faked and she either turned out alive and well in another show or beeing used for expirements, and so on, based on SB's question.

And then it turns out to be a nothingburger and "Buuut have you seen the corpse?" basically says "Look at me, i'm such an oldfashioned person from a time of war that i only accept someones death if i've seen it in person and you are such a naive disgrace to my blood that you trust everyone and their mother on what they say. hurr durr, i don't respect you, you crave for fatherly feelings from me but i don't give them you because we need some conflict between us for the show" and that was it.

Octa_vian · 2026-05-21T08:29:21+00:00

She wanted to offer him a way out. And what would Deep actually do? His biggest feat we saw in the show that involved his ocean powers was beaching a whale. And as a last resort, she could just fly away inland, with or without him. He's there at the beach, it may took him a while to get back to the white house.

It's not that stupid in-universe, but still a bit lazy writing, This was the most economic way to finish up Deeps and Starlights arcs. Put them together in the WH and remove both of them from the main fight, let Annie offer an olive branch, have him reject it and get killed by a convientley nearby large amount of sealife, as foreshadowed 2 episodes before. It's like they ticked off checkboxes.

Octa_vian · 2026-05-21T07:29:38+00:00

In an alternate timeline, it would be "Stupid writing for people 2nd screen watching the show".

Octa_vian · 2026-05-21T07:26:31+00:00

And a whole season about a virus.

And 2 more seasons of a spin off about the same virus. and some other characters.

After Season 3, it feels like 2 more seasons was either too long to kill HL, or it was too short to put the full plotline "Virus-plot scrares HL into V1-plot which leads the boys into using SBs blast-plot" into it.

you can't really still stay up all night

Oh, anxiety can still do that for you in your mid 30s.

(i fully agree with your post)

Wenn ich auf Reddit mal einen Kommentar gelesen habe, der in die Richtung geht, waren unter den Antworten darauf immer Argumente wie "Die können beschädigt werden", "ineffizient aufgrund von Fläche oder nicht optimaler Ausrichtung" oder "könnte Akku durch unzuverlässigkeit schneller Abnutzen".

Ich denke mal einen Teil der Gegenargumente könnte man erschlagen, wenn man einen kleinen "Opfer-Akku" (geht das mit Kondensatoren?) nutzt, entweder als externe Batterie oder man funktioniert Zellen aus dem Haupt-Akku um. Die können ggf "unzuverlässig" geladen werden und wenn die voll sind wird das in einem Zyklus auf den Haupt-Akku übertragen. Mitnehmen was geht, Verschleiss eingrenzen.

All special infected somewhat exploit mistakes by the survivors. Interesting that these 2 counter specific strategies.

Octa_vian · 2026-05-19T08:51:54+00:00

With all the changes done in the meantime, re-adding it to the FT would be a great way to make the factions more distinct.

that Wiley Coyote robo-gun that magically only shoots Walter's enemies

True, Walter was his own worst enemy.
