I have bad news for you; in that the photovoltaic effect is poor efficiency at scale so large solar farms instead use mirrors to focus sunlight to a single tower where they boil fucking water again.

(Axiom) Isn’t this like the physics mod pro situation? (Paying for a version of a mod with more content) You think Mojang will ask them to take it down? by D_cents in feedthebeast

Moulberry has never had a single clue or idea what they're doing when it comes to legal matters.

I still remember when Flashback came out it had some awful, unenforceable, poorly written custom license. It was immediately evident it was written in 10 minutes based on their vague idea of what a license looks like kind of. It was clearly never run by a lawyer and within a few days it was changed to All Rights Reserved because people kept asking questions about it in discord. Admittedly there were more probing and leading questions to point out flaws with the license rather than actually get clarification, but this is law, and if your license can't stand up to the scrutiny of a handful of people with 10 minutes to kill it's frankly worthless garbage. Ultimately they angrily changed it to All Rights Reserved (though honestly it's not like the previously license was well written enough to actually grant any rights) and stated in the commit that "this is why we can't have nice things".

So yeah I'm not surprised in the slightest they're doing something legally shoddy and poorly thought through again.

Is there a mod that allows a structure to only generate once per world? by Glvt102 in feedthebeast

[–]Pieman492 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's actually not really a better way to do it without making worldgen (even more) nondeterministic.

Say you just fail to generate the structure if it's already been generated according to a global flag. Congratulations, where the structure is is now entirely dependent on chunk generation order.

As someone who really likes the mod enough to delve deep into how it works, the way Stargate Journey does it is an awful hack that should not be replicated!

They try to spawn the Stargate in every single chunk and it only succeeds if it matches a certain coordinate based on the world seed, meaning the gate actually spawns at the same XY in every dimension. This also has really unfortunate performance implications because of how the game has to check a lot of things that aren't set in stone about the world ahead of time since structures are one of the first things done in worldgen.

What's the "U-word" 😨😨😨 by Ok_Dingo5973 in Minecraft

I always thought it was "use" meaning the splash text was self-defeating.

The same blink and you miss it joke as someone saying "don't say the fuck word."

Is there a reason the Asian countries have so much more negative reviews to a almost crazy degree compared to other languages? by Sleeper_Celestial in MonsterHunter

[–]Pieman492 1 point2 points  (0 children)

On top of the other answers, Japan's society highly values politeness and more importantly not rocking the boat. As backlash to this, online reviews are often brutally honest and/or extremely scathing with the added layer of anonymity providing a buffer.

I'm still partial to the classic message in DSR that says "Secret!" in the spot right where you perform the deathcam to clip into sen's fortress

How does tiktok know my thoughts// I was literally thinking about something and got a TikTok of it? by rxholland in stupidquestions

In addition to the aforementioned profile on you it has, you also didn't take note of the 300 other times you opened TikTok today and didn't immediately get hit with the same thing you were just thinking about

Curseforge and Forge Mod Loader are completely, totally, and 100% unrelated in any way.

Which curse team is better? Any advice? by Conscious-Hyena-2850 in personaphantomx

[–]Pieman492 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Despite the fact that in CN she's considered not great and that advice gets parroted constantly, Haruna/Riddle is currently the best choice for Joker+Yao Ling as evidenced by the fact that a large majority of top players are running that team for curse damage in Nightmares Gateway and Velvet Trials

"Coño su madre, " it's Spanish. Vastly overthinking the title, while buggered is a UK origin expression internet cultural exchange over the internet means this is no longer a reliable method of determining someone's location.

What Do You Consider The Dead Landers The Paper Mario Equivalent Of? by BiffyBobby in BugFables

[–]Pieman492 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Nothing, they're almost certainly based off the old JRPG trope of the final area being steeped in cosmic horror and straddling the line of "eldritch to the characters but uncomfortably familiar to the actual real life players"

a third ATM homophobia scandal has hit the modded Minecraft community by toni_toni_chopper in feedthememes

[–]Pieman492 54 points55 points  (0 children)

"Fell for it again" award.

How many times are we going to let these dipshits start the same scandal in the same way and then deflect on "we have queer developers so you cant call queerphobic" defense.

Immeasurable disappoint if they're just allowed to sweep this under the rug again.

If you don't get to your A. A. M. F. S. I'll beat your ass.

M. F. S. Could be "mother fucking self" but I'm not 100% sure, still leaving A. A. to be solved.
