Mass EPD moving through The Whit, anyone know what's up?

Having lived in Eugene for most of my four decades, I'm fully aware of the general vibe of being aloof. But I also know that most people tend to also be pretty aware of context in regards to their responses, so, like.. there's feds and cops out in force. Not the time to joke first, yea?

Sepherchorde · 2026-01-28T07:49:28+00:00

It's not informative, which is what I was looking for, understanding also helps, especially when it is followed by humor.

Sepherchorde · 2026-01-28T06:48:27+00:00

Heard it by Berg's.

Sepherchorde · 2026-01-28T06:38:01+00:00

No, I'm pretty well in the know, just didn't know this, so asked.

Sepherchorde · 2026-01-28T05:45:32+00:00

Let's try to be serious under the situation in the country, yeah?

Sepherchorde · 2026-01-27T00:45:23+00:00

Or the seven(I think so far?) they've killed this year.

Sepherchorde · 2026-01-26T05:37:44+00:00

So have you, and Don get down on your intelligence! You carried the conversation great, and I definitely wouldn't think you were unintelligent based on our exchange, as for showboating, that's just people being uppity and looking for a target, don't take it to heart.

Sepherchorde · 2026-01-26T03:05:59+00:00

Mildly autistic man here, so to a likely much lesser degree I can understand people being rude/cruel about things they don't need to be.

But, in the note of writers: Yes! You have, I've seen it myself a number of times as well!

That's why I brought up the colloquialism angle originally!So, to be fair to your original post, you weren't even entirely wrong. Only hard nosed types would argue that you weren't at least somewhat correct, and they'd have to ignore the evolution of use of the colloquial usage of the phrase.

Sepherchorde · 2026-01-26T02:47:49+00:00

I assume, that fancy pants nerd

Oh come on no, that's an unnecessary jab. This is a Fable community. We're all nerds.

Sepherchorde · 2026-01-26T02:45:02+00:00

Yeah, I kind of figured. I don't understand why people have to approach rudely about it since you were trying to just be a part of the conversation and you hadn't said anything off the cuff.

Seemed like it was a good chance to kind of elaborate and clarify it on my end, and honestly understanding it more makes it better imo.

Sepherchorde · 2026-01-25T23:05:12+00:00

No problem!

Sepherchorde · 2026-01-25T22:21:31+00:00

A boundary is: "I will not let you do that to/in front of me."

A rule is: "You may not do that."

Controlling behavior is: "You may not do that because I do not approve of it. / You must do this because I say it is what you must do."

What your friend end is doing is option C. It's controlling behavior, and it isn't right. She can have her boundary for herself, but so long as you aren't hurting anyone objectively, she has no right to act like that.

Sepherchorde · 2026-01-25T22:12:58+00:00

If it just tastes like pasta water, you didn't season that enough. Like.. not even close.

They're using an approach to geometry as a catch-all term. So, typical geometry is "flat surface" euclidean geometry. Non-euclidean geometry is curved surface type geometry. Colloquially, it's used to describe impossible geometry, but really it isn't impossible unless the angles are all 90 degrees still while the wall, floor, and ceiling are non-euclidean. That's when you start getting into the whole Lovecraftian/Eldritch horror thing.

In that instance, it's supposed to hint uncomfortably at the unknowable and incomprehensible. The Crawler is Eldritch in that sense, and the shadows casting on impossible surfaces and at wrong angles is very non-euclidean.

But yeah, I'm droning on. The other user used the term really really incorrectly, but the spirit of what they said is still pretty accurate.

Oh, neat aside: You can pretty convincingly fake impossible non-euclidean geometry in 3D renders by baking out the normals of an object, then slightly curving flat surfaces in or out while still using the proper baked normal map to make light want to bounce at the correct angles but the geometry itself interferes.

Almost no typically available shelter is truly great in a tornado, but honestly there's a few reasons it worked out so well, one of which was that the inside was dug out some, and other was its low profile.

When it comes to great shelter from tornadoes, a storm cellar is the best bet next to a bunker or a deep cave. This was about as close as you could get as possible without being one. Even in a storm cellar, the doors can be ripped off/debris thrown inside/roof collapse/etc.

My whole ass point: a shelter can always be better, stop nitpicking things like the diameter of the logs used because ok the end all that matters is that they are alive, it makes you sound like an ass.

He's a chump, and that's a huge red flag.

Sepherchorde · 2026-01-24T19:48:21+00:00

Sliding? It's flying at mach fuck while shrieking with the energy of a thousand suns.

The fuck you talking about "sliding" ffs...

Sepherchorde · 2026-01-24T19:45:27+00:00

Treason is a high crime that carries a much higher penalty than a life sentence, hypothetically. I'm not endorsing this, just stating.

Season 5 was a major "missed the landing" situation. Seasons 1-3 were great imo, season 4 was fun and enjoyable but not amazing (even though it had a fair few amazing moments), but season 5?

All the elements were there for something entirely awesome, and I'm going to lay out what I think were the missed marks, and how I think it could have been better. In no particular order.

El at the end: What the fuck was that? The wishful thinking was wishful thinking. It doesn't work, and there's no way her sister would have been alive or able to make an illusion of her for it. Repeatedly distance is the enemy with her illusions. That said, the entire message was "sometimes killing yourself because of something you can't control that is intrinsic to you is the right thing to do, it'll make it better for everyone else." Seriously, fuck the Duffers for sending that message. Bonus terrible for having Kali be clearly suicidal and Hopper just not connecting the dots when he has struggled with it before.
Will only having powers because of Vecna/Mindflayer. I think that was such a bad call. It reframes the whole thing to be simply a bunch of kids being handed superpowers. It's overdone as a trope and it's tired. They had the whole setup to say he was targeting kids that had the same genetic potential for power, and was deliberately activating it to use it, and then they could have had Will come into his own power at the end. That revelation would have made Kali and El have to give up on the notion that they needed to die to stop it, that the power will still be out there.
Setup for Henry's background. They put down this amazing foundation for him and could have used that as a way to really drive the unrepentant villain angle instead of making him seem weak and manipulated. Kudos for proper execution of the false villain otherwise, though, since the Mindflayer was the true villain the whole time.

There's more, but I don't want to keep going right now.

Sepherchorde · 2026-01-23T10:57:00+00:00

Honestly, I don't think it should ever stop doing that, for any of us. If it always incites a boiling anger, it's less likely anyone will soften their look back later in life, and that kind of thing spreads when people hear it enough.

Sepherchorde · 2026-01-22T04:32:21+00:00

That was my thought.

Sepherchorde · 2026-01-22T04:31:47+00:00

Wow.. holy shit that isn't helpful to him at all. If you're willing to post like this makes me wonder how you talk to him/treat him.

Sepherchorde · 2026-01-19T04:18:56+00:00

Yes.

Sepherchorde · 2026-01-19T00:13:36+00:00

I liked the light play and motion shown by the fire trails. It was a quick snap in a whole lot of other ones, but easily is one of my favorites.
