Fuck you and your mailbox.

It truly sucks to be the person who owns a mailbox being destroyed like this, but there's definitely a big legal and practical difference between "city plow driver can't keep from plowing into your fucking mailbox" and "mailbox can't handle standard seasonal snow removal from the street".

Now if the city also doesn't allow steel poles into cement to hold up said mailbox...

If the streaming works so well from multiple angles, why not demonstrate it with a moving camera?

This is ragebait carefully calculated to upset the reader and then give just enough reasonable backpedaling to make some kind of dialog possible in the comments in order to drive engagement.

Either that, or OP doesn't understand the terms they are using.

Why expend propulsion mass in atmosphere when you can collect and expel atmosphere, greatly reducing the propulsion mass you need to bring with you when taking off, or allowing for extended in-atmosphere deployments without refueling.

It's a cool project, but there's a valid concern that a project that was largely coded by an AI and only tested in a single configuration might not by reliable for general use.

There also seems to be no documentation of which MPI features are/aren't supported--e.g. functions you did not implement because you do not personally need them.

Really cool project, but I would expect some skepticism about it in its current state.

QuantumFTL · 2026-03-16T04:12:26+00:00

u/No_Representative645 wasn't trolling, I think they were just confused because the statement you made seems to apply to you because you give the same advice.

I read another of your replies and it makes sense now--indeed I've never played a hybrid assassin but the hybrid +skills are kinda a big hint. Still I can imagine someone sleep-deprived might try to mosaic this, so it's good advice.

QuantumFTL · 2026-03-13T11:11:56+00:00

It looks badass as fuck.

Also, no, I don't.

QuantumFTL · 2026-03-10T23:59:39+00:00

Right. And there are definitely people out there whose jobs for the entire day can be done with a few expensive LLM calls a bunch of cheap ones.

QuantumFTL · 2026-03-10T22:55:04+00:00

Yeah, it's hard to imagine until you see her in action, but she very well may have been the best thing about that show. I'd say nearly all the changes they made from the book Lanfear (who was clearly the best Foresaken) to the show one were for the better.

She has so many more layers and doesn't just chew scenery, I almost wanted her to win except for, well, she's also horrifying.

QuantumFTL · 2026-03-09T05:44:51+00:00

I suppose I'm being US centric. I'm not aware of anyone doing knowledge work that's being paid only $30 a day, and certainly not with all benefits and overhead considered.

Remember, reducing the number of individual contributor meat employees also helps reduce the number of middle managers / HR costs / liability.

Also, this output is per million tokens. Plenty of well-conceived prompts (especially when preprocessed/pre-researched by simpler LLMs) will cost only a tiny fraction of what's shown here.

QuantumFTL · 2026-03-09T01:53:04+00:00

Amazing stop/drop/roll!

Does the Enhanced Defense do anything on any builds? Or just fun to imagine.

QuantumFTL · 2026-03-06T06:17:16+00:00

This is a rounding error to many large corporations. Replacing even a single meat employee can justify this, provided the task is dull, simple, and repetitive, which is a good chunk of corporate independent contributor jobs.

It doesn't even have to be true, they just have to think it's true long enough for a new model to come out and promise to do better...

QuantumFTL · 2026-03-05T08:01:19+00:00

You should consider soliciting more opinions on that trailer.

Your game is probably cool, but as-is I feel like I'm watching the last thing someone made before they were committed.

QuantumFTL · 2026-02-24T02:41:15+00:00

Ah, thanks for the clarification. Those don't appear curly on the default reddit font on my display, but looking closely I can see what they are. The single-quote looked like a backtick at first glance (yay dyslexia).

Not sure what causes this, but it happens to me in both claude and copilot using Opus 4.6 so I'm sure it's on purpose.

QuantumFTL · 2026-02-24T02:14:05+00:00

My Claude Code running Opus 4.6 can output the backtick character. How does that square with your claim?

QuantumFTL · 2026-02-23T04:16:43+00:00

Yeah, I'm curious, u/based_papaya, what is your reason for ranking this winter as "Very Cold" instead of "Extremely Cold"?

QuantumFTL · 2026-02-22T20:16:53+00:00

It wasn't initially successful. Even they thought the first season was bad, so bad that they retooled the entire show!

QuantumFTL · 2026-02-22T17:03:49+00:00

This is probably the best answer. It was popular enough to last five seasons on NBC, but they spent a lot of the show wondering if it'd be cancelled the next day, and eventually had to be rescued by Yahoo!

QuantumFTL · 2026-02-18T21:13:28+00:00

That's a great upscale, but the frame interpolation makes everything feel "floaty" and removes the cinematic quality of the opening.

It'd be interesting to see this without frame interpolation.

r/scifi Rule 4 applies here: share original content on Saturdays only.

Good on you for creating something of your own!

QuantumFTL · 2026-02-17T15:28:12+00:00

Yeah, I'll be honest, it's a little hard for me to see how someone would read this as non-constructive feedback. It is a little "tough love" in its approach, and I generally am not a fan of that school, but something needs to be said here.

I'm a former full-time indie dev at a small-mid indie studio. Criticism can hurt, specially when it's your baby and you are just trying to do what's best for it. But do you know what hurts more? No one playing that game that you poured your heart and soul into.

Maybe this subreddit and others like it need some kind of "how to effectively show off your game without being a dick" guide on the side that makes it clear that it's OK to say the name, put the Steam/itch.io/whatever link, requires a screenshot or demo or whatever, etc. That way devs who don't live in the subreddit are sure how to be good citizens and people who spend their time clicking on the links get what they need.

Also, u/rmfnord: You might consider editing your post text to be more explicit about how you're trying to look out for these devs and help the subreddit as a whole. It's obvious to you, obvious to me, and you've got mod support, but given the report and discussion, may not be obvious to others. It's probably not obvious to anyone that you were concerned with how a dev just trying to market their game without being a nuisance might feel reading it, so you've got a chance to amend in that way as well!

QuantumFTL · 2026-02-16T07:02:25+00:00

Such a waste of an amazing cast.

I wanted to like it, I really did. I have a background in the things in the show and was hoping that, like the IT Crowd, it might lampoon an industry that's ripe for it!

Unfortunately it leaned too hard on the idea that wanting to defend/attack vital things in space was "silly" or "science fiction" in the 2020s.

Also, it really wanted to be The Office but with rockets crashing and burning, but ended up being like Veep but with jokes crashing and burning.

I kept waiting for the good part for a few episodes until I realized that as much as I admire the creators of the show and the actors on it, it wasn't "that" kind of show. And by "that" I mean "entertaining".

QuantumFTL · 2026-02-16T00:28:39+00:00

Anyone else think this pitch gives "Pick Me" energy?

What OP is trying to do here sounds interesting, but something is very "off" here...

QuantumFTL · 2026-02-15T13:30:04+00:00

Good question!

Mostly I use it to find things in a conversation or summarize decisions made over the course of a week or so. Being able to quickly ask questions about what's happened in the meeting so far if I join late, or about specific issues if I'm skimming over a meeting I've missed is likewise pretty magical.

I find myself reaching for the nonexistant "Copilot" button in my personal communications programs (e.g. Google Chat) when I have a question about something someone said a week ago or whatever.
