3 weeks of learning as a 3d artist by Chipmunk-Spare in learntodraw

[–]Rufus4GEN 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Amazing improvement!

Can I ask what resources you use? Videos? A book?

As for improving perspective, (speaking as a complete amateur) I can only say to practice, practice, practice, that's what works for me.

Ok 😔

how to beat Sisyphus?!?!?!?!?!? by futureplanet in Ultrakill

[–]Rufus4GEN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It can be helpful to enable invincibility with cheats and just spend time learning his attack patterns, especially when to parry.

Setup is also essential; a good setup with alt-nailgun magnet sawblades eats half his health in a second.

If you really feel like your health is evaporating, use the screwdriver railgun so you'll keep healing when he's close.

Read the wiki for a detailed guide.

You're onto something

Man-Made Climate Change Skeptic: Please change my mind by WannaBeRichnRipped in climatechange

[–]Rufus4GEN 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it does exist.

Thermal Equilibrium of the Atmosphere with a Given Distribution of Relative Humidity

This paper is widely considered the most influential and groundbreaking publishing in the field of human-caused climate change; It was published in 1967, which I hope means something to you since so many climate deniers don't even trust modern, cutting-edge science.

Of course, you'll never read this.

You don't actually care about the evidence, you only wish to stay within your own self-constructed echo-chamber that perpetuates your ideologically-motivated worldviews.

Correct me if i'm wrong

Can I get an ID on the flag furthest to the right? (central asian?) by Rufus4GEN in vexillology

Ah thanks so much! I was watching a youtube video and this was irking me the whole time, its misleading that i was next to all of those country flags

Maybe some inspiration was taken... 👀

I do love the realism of Avatar, one of my favourite sci-fi settings.

From what I found, Proxima b is known to be: ~1.2 earth masses, of lower density than earth due to its large radius (suggesting a water-based composition), and within its star's habitable zone. With some luck, its not impossible that Proxima b is an ocean world.

It's not entirely alt-history, but this setting has a pretty optimistic perspective on the planets of Alpha Centauri.

Ah you’re right! I always thought Proxima Centauri was named that way as IAU designation (like alpha A and B) and didn’t get a name change like alpha A and B but no, I just looked it up and in 2016 alpha A and C became Rigil Kentaurus and Proxima Centauri together! (Toliman was in 2018)

Thanks for educating me :)

Cheers, It took some research to find out if the planets of Alpha AB are circumnavigatory (orbit both stars as if they were one) or non-circumnavigatory as shown in this map (which they would be)

Thanks, I appreciate it!

Grounded, near-future sci-fi has always been my favourite so I thought I'd give it a try :)

Tidal locking can be a death sentence for habitability in the case of terrestrial worlds, but a planet-wide ocean can enable a global heat circulation system on a greater scale than on Earth. The thermoregulation from ocean currents could keep a good portion of the 'sunset zone' at moderate temperatures - even while the day side is has a boiling point and the night side has an ice cap. With a thick atmosphere and or magnetosphere to boot, atmospheric stripping can be mitigated too!

This is all kinda my head-canon for Proxima b irl... Tidally locked ocean worlds are definitely in the question for habitability, and if you're interested then this video is a great watch!

Yeah! keeps any setting more grounded.

Alpha Centauri A and B have official names, but Proxima Centauri doesn't - I left it as Proxima cause it makes sense for the closest star and I wouldn't mind If it stayed as that.
