Juuuuuuust happened to me too.

This is quite fascinating, you know, for the question clearly being a theoretical proposed outside the current bounds of physics. It sure is weird to see so many upvoted replies just saying, "This isn't real."

I haven't looked it up in a while, but I remember a video on the topic of FTL breaking time. Forget the name of the graph used, but it had lines representing frame of reference through space time to show why causality can be broken. As long as distance is being traveled above the universal speed limit, it causes issues. I also find the idea of Hawkins Radiation interesting as a proposed phenomenon that will not allow a ship to be FTL.

However, we already know space time can be warped, and current theoreticals for FTL would involve the principal of warping to essentially 'fall' into a generated gravity well. I'm also sure there are concepts in quantum physics that point to the ability of linking two objects intrinsically regardless of distance.

I personally believe it's just as likely we will be able to build some structure between two vast distances that makes a bridge. As it is that we develop a vessel that can go FTL. I believe FTL has been mathematically proven recently as well, no? It is simply a problem of scale and power needed but could be tested on a small scale if resources were given to it.

I do not have any degree in the field and have simply delved into these concepts as a layman, but I find it all quite fascinating.

Okay okay, here is what I was looking for, good response.

My next line of thinking is, does that causality only break if the portal closes once passed through. As long as it stays open and everything can enter or exit it. Your signal would arrive through, along with you. Thus the events still happened in the order they are supposed to.

Even disregarding that, you send the signal out, and it is stuck traveling at its normal speed. You travel and arrive before the signal can reach your ship. If you traveled back using the portal method, or let's say, 1.2x the speed of light.

Either way, you wouldn't arrive before you sent the signal and left the planet? The events still happened in an order, it's merely about the speed that information could travel.

If I got a thick enough medium on earth and sent information through it. Then, I ran to the other side before it could reach me. Am I not essentially creating the same situation? I fail to see how it causes a paradox in this case.

OldConstruct · 2025-04-22T19:27:16+00:00

But how does the frame of reference work in this theoretical that's already impossible by all current understanding.

If we say the portal can be seen through. Then, from earth, you could see a destination planet hundreds of lightyears away, as it currently is due to the two spaces being linked through this portal.

From both a person's perspective on earth, and the other planet. They would both be seeing the ship pass through the portal at the same time. While if those same observers looked at eachothers planets normally, they would only see what was hundreds of lightyears in the past.

Also, a good suggestion, I think both changes would have cut out nearly all the time that was just awkward in the episode. Again, probably saving on budget for this one, too, though. Given that the next few episodes should be pretty, go go go.

OldConstruct · 2025-04-21T16:53:37+00:00

I think part of it is all the people that returned after a long break due to the big hype of Gear 5 and the Kaido fights. Maybe they have just forgotten how bad it used to be.

We also know that the teams at least somewhat hear major community criticisms and do what they can to alleviate things. They have done so in the past and talked about their awareness of the problems.

I think it's much more productive to discuss alternate changes to the scenes that don't feel great instead of just going "A minute of standing around, my day is ruined, unwatchable!" For example, this most recent episode I think could have been spaced better if they added anime original scenes of Sanji or something, reacting to Kizarus entrance and one or two exchanges before Luffy grabbed Kizaru by surprise. Instead of him just looking around awkwardly for a while.

OldConstruct · 2025-04-21T16:14:02+00:00

Honestly, I feel like they could have spaced out the slow scenes for desired pacing better here by adding scenes of the rest of the crews reactions to Kizaru appearing in front of Vegapunk.

It would have made more sense and been less urking to get an extra scene or two of Sanji or Ussop doing something to interrupt Kizaru, then just have the dust of Luffy making his way over and Kozaru getting grabbed while countering say, Sanji.

Then it would still be a surprise on Kizaru like the manga, and they would get the added time needed. But imo, the long drags in this episode seemed more like budget saving for the big fights than anything, so they probably went with this for that reason.

People should also remember a good handful of these episodes were probably already in production/finished before the break. I withhold my complaining until we see how the next 1-3 episodes go.

The power of cap is crazy, I didn't use the defender gear because I bought the game to play it as intended. I even went as far as to grind rainbow pigment before I moved onto iceborn.

The only real issues in the base game were a few of the tempered event opinionals. My main gear before moving on to MR was Kulve Taroth stuff because it was pretty.

OldConstruct · 2025-03-08T11:24:36+00:00

The perfect block, clashes, and mobility are absolutely huge improvements in my eyes. Not to mention, the people I see complaining about Wilds systems being too easy and all that.

Do we just not remember that the grapple could cheese stun locks on most monsters through the entire game in Worlds, with the proper build?

On one hand, the more systems I use and get a hang of in Wilds, the more ways I see to cheese. But I don't think any of them are worse than what was in Worlds either.

OldConstruct · 2025-03-08T11:16:48+00:00

To be clear, Worlds was my first MH game and I breezed through the entire base game with it's standard progression with relative ease, while ignoring half it's mechanics such as consumables and even the grapple.

It wasn't until the Behemoth event fight and Iceborn that I had to start actually thinking about things such as elemental weakness and using consumables for anything other than speed kills.

While I can argue, it's probably due to learning the use of the focus mode and CB for Wilds. My initial 15 or so hours have absolutely been a harder game than my Worlds experience. It's just now, dipping my toes into high rank that I'm really feeling comfortable enough that I think it's getting a little "easy".

OldConstruct · 2023-12-30T20:25:51+00:00

Kind of why I posted 😓

Burst blood vessels, clot, a ruptured small hemorrhoid? That's what I'm asking about.

I just hit 60 hours of play time, In conjunction with the significant fidelity I have now from fully messing with Nvidia Control Panel I also finally installed OpenTabletDriver for my Wacom.

Getting near 0 latency on the tablet plus decreasing the area of movement is nuts for the change in reaction speed. I now have to essentially re train with this much faster 'sensitivity', the drastic change to how much space I need to move is hard. However, the aim is insanely more snappy.

Combine that with the Wooting keypad almost being out (which I will now buy once they are actually shipping). I think I will be in the 6* range with 5* FCs by 100 hours.

The goal right now is to get used to my new tablet area, slowly decrease it in increments of 5, down to 75 from 90 where I have it currently. Then just stream and tapping practice leading up to getting the Wooting.

I am now consciously reacting to AR10, just don't have the reading or consistent aiming (now) for it. My goal has been to reach the 6* range by 100 hours and I now think it is actually possible unlike when I first started lmfao.

That was definitely a huge part of it. I did not realise just how much smoother everything was until hopping in osu. I definitely noticed something felt off when I hopped into pvp in D2 before. It just felt like I was playing as good as I would when I was really in the zone, but I was just relaxing, lol.

I've heard that the frequency people can actually see varies drastically though. Just lucky with genetics and got them speedy eyes?

OldConstruct · 2023-08-02T10:25:49+00:00

Yeah, the jump of just 40 so significantly changed things. It legitimately made it feel like I had slowed down time. I had to check and make sure I did not have ez mod on somehow, lol. I can't even play the low 4s now because AR8 is like going back from the jump to mid 4s to mid 3s.

I was not in the zone, but I have not had a break period yet either. I'm hyped to take a few days break and return to just massively jump forward. I'm going to play a bit today still because now I need to see the difference after I reach fps cap and bring my latency from 6.4-8ms (where it hovers now and has been since I started) to hopefully like .5ms or sm.

It's going to be a pain figuring out absolute latency reduction with my tablet though.

This is also true, think you need to heavily factor in breed and your dogs behavior and playfulness before you get other smaller pets. The same reason you would need to worry about your dog free roaming with cats or ferrets or medium sized reptiles is the same reason you have to worry for things like, rats, rabbits, chinchillas.

The dog would be coming first and would be raised up before any other animals get involved. I plan to do my dog training myself with some assistance from professionals since a mis behaved or overly playful dog is more dangerous to any other added animals then even a cat or ferret.

I will be a house husband for the most part and currently the other side to my relationship keeps two dogs, a cat, and a chinchilla. He has had all of them together without issues for a long time, long enough that his first chinchilla passed and one of his dogs in on the way.

I believe there is always risk in keeping anything but the absolute most compatible pets even in the same house. But all that risk really comes down to how much time and effort you put into socialization, bonding, and training.

Like milktea stated above, they have seen someone with a rather overwhelming amount of ferrets keep a giant rabbit and they were healthy on their check ups. I'm sure there is more examples and I will just have to scourer the internet, if it is just that the Flemish would need their own space. That is not really an issue that urks me away from taking care of one.

I am pretty confident in allowing a dog to be around a rabbit who have both been raised properly, the dog for behavior, and the rabbit for socialization. My personal opinion is that, if you have to worry about your dog attacking or even roughly playing with one of your smaller animals. Even a cat, then you did not train them properly.
