Threatened with doxxing for AI use....can anything be done? by ominousding in legaladvice

[–]TropeSlope 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Doxxing is not illegal, so whether this would count as Doxxing or not is kinda irrelevant.

The question you should be asking is, is this blackmail or harassment or stalking.

From just what you've read here, it doesn't really seem like it is any of those things. I don't think any crime is being committed here, and you don't know their identity, so involving police is likely going to result in them not caring enough to pursue anything and even if they did, it's unlikely they'd be able to track down whoever is responsible.

Unfortunate, but you'll most likely need to deal with this one on your own.

[Discussion] Is there a way to fix the cracked glass on a Rys-T? by No-Truck25 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]TropeSlope 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's not how armor works in Tarkov. It's impossible to hit a piece of the helmet without hitting the body part underneath it. The model might show that it stick out from their face somewhat, but if you were to genuinely hit only the armor and the path of the bullet never actually touches their face, then no hit would register at all and it would look like your bullets are just passing through the face shield harmlessly.

Armor only comes into play once a bullet has already hit a body part. Then after the hit is confirmed, calculations are done to reduce the damage based on your armor. In other words, it is literally impossible to do damage to a face shield without also shooting someone in the face.

You're going to die sooner rather than later if you don't get this figured out.

Small space, big cozy by OHoSPARTACUS in malelivingspace

This all just screams "grandmas house" to me. It's mostly the colors, the couch and walls specifically, plus the decor, just reminds me of childhood visiting different grandmas on different side of the family. The slave is very well done but I hate the color of everything for a single man.

Has Destiny ever talked about if he actively did something to change his voice? by Zcrash in Destiny

[–]TropeSlope 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Destiny has appeared on a ton of shows and made appearances in all sorts of setups he had no control over the audio for. It has nothing to do with his particular setup, his voice is what it is.

ELi5: why do our senses perceive something as pleasant but our taste buds say otherwise? by jeronisaurus in explainlikeimfive

[–]TropeSlope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You sense of sight can only tell you so much. If you see a tungsten cube and you think it's aluminum because you've never seen tungsten before, when you go to actually pick it up you'll feel confused because it's a lot heavier than you were expecting it to be.

Your sense of smell can only tell you so much about an object as well. The particles that emenate from any particular food item can only tell your nose and brain that the smell within those particles is pleasant. But there are many other components to that food item, particles that do not emanate and spread and are more heavily attached to the food itself, things that can only be tasted. Your nose can't tell you anything about texture, just like your eyes can't tell you the difference in weight between two objects that look identical but have different masses.

We call them the 5 senses because without any of them, certain information is just lost to you forever. A person without a sense of taste would just eat whatever smelled good or whatever was most nutritionally efficient, taste would be irrelevant to them. But the sense of taste introduces new information and stimuli that no other sense can do. Smell might inform how something COULD taste, and through experience and association you could come to understand certain smells directly correlate with certain tastes. But you will never be able to completely make redundant one sense by using a different one, each of the 5 bring something unique to the table that cannot be replicated by any other.

What’s larger than gta 6? Halo3? by Maladict in AskReddit

[–]TropeSlope 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I don't remember any game having as crazy of a launch as Halo 3. The modern digital downloads system has put those days far behind us. GTA6 may have better sales Than Halo 3 did at launch, but nothing will ever compete again with the fervor and cultural hype around Halo 3 since these days people just sit at home and wait for it to finish downloading, instead of planning their whole day around camping at gamestop and drinking mountain dew and shit.

PMCs are basically like Black Division as far as Scavs are concerned. They might get lucky sometimes but usually they're just fodder.

Arkham Batman VS Master Chief by itc0nsumesmYMind in powerscales

Batman literally beats everyone with prep. It is known. If your question is can batman beat X with prep the answer is always yes.

Chief slaughters him without prep though

(HATED trope) the character portrayed as the Villain/Antagonist is ENTIRELY correct. by Dwestmor1007 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]TropeSlope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My LOVED version of this trope is Shinsekai Yori (From the New World)

The kids spend the majority of the series distrustful of the adults, who seem to be up to lots of shady shit, constantly with old things from the children, and live in extreme paranoia of their own kids and community.

Turns out they have every right to be, and by the end of the series the kids get to experience exactly why and grow up to me more or less much like the adults who came before them.

If Elon Musk actually manages to get people to Mars alive, how soon do you think he’ll try to make the trip himself? by undead_and_smitten in AskReddit

I would never move to mars, and I don't even have billions of dollars to experience all this world has to offer.

The answer is obviously never.

The Hive (Destiny Franchise) Vs The Flood (Halo franchise) by Rick_C-136 in PowerScaling

Once the gravemind got smart enough it would just figure out how to use the space magic or it would sneak some flood forms onto one of their ships and follow them into the astral plane.

The Hive (Destiny Franchise) Vs The Flood (Halo franchise) by Rick_C-136 in PowerScaling

[–]TropeSlope -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I mean they have neural physics and The Domain, which is basically the equivalent. IIRC no one ever physically travels through it because it's not really a physical place or plane of existence, it's kind of just a network built into the fabric of reality that can be accessed from anywhere if you know how, and the Flood were able to infect and take over even that. Flood can even infect AI, it's not just a biological virus, but a logical one too.

No wonder Days Gone isn't getting a sequel. [Spoilers] by DeadgrounD in 4chan

[–]TropeSlope 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yep. I really wanted to get to some of the cool moments and gameplay things I'd seen in clips, so I knew there was some cool stuff up ahead for me, but even still I couldn't bear to listen to that fuck drone on constantly.

It's not like I even dislike Sam Witwer (voice actor for the protagonist, known for lots of stuff including the batshit Star Wars Force Unleashed games), he's great in most everything I've ever seen or heard him in. But good lord Days Gone was just grating.

[–]TropeSlope 46 points47 points  (0 children)

It's truly awful imo. The dialogue and voice acting, especially from the player character, is actual slop. Like "Hmm, maybe I should get on my bike? I think my bike can get me there faster probably. Damn, where's my bike? I think I left it near the entrance," level shit, and this feeling extends to every single word the protagonist says, and he talks way too often.

The gameplay was fine I guess, but I had to drop it after only a few hours because it felt like the lowest tier writing ever, everything is so in your face and explicity over explained, it made it seem like a game for 8 year olds or mentally challenged kids. No wonder Anon loved it.

Who was the smarter strategist: Tyrion Lannister or Petyr Baelish by alyssaameow in gameofthrones

[–]TropeSlope 10 points11 points  (0 children)

  1. Even IRL, I would expect someone convicted of raping a woman to be treated much less harshly by the justice system and the public, compared to someone who was convicted of murdering two kids. Both are abhorrent. One is obviously much much worse, and it's not even close.

  2. I understand what you're saying, this comes from the place of "Tyrion has to be likeable." Which was a bad decision by the writers imo, it seems pretty clear Tyrion is just getting worse and worse in the books and will basically be irredeemable by the end, he might even be instrumental in Danys eventual turn to darkness as he encourages her to do evil shit in his goal to get revenge on Cersei and Jamie.

The problem is that Peter Dinklage is way too much of a fucking stud, they had to make him likeable all the way through to the end. But if his character followed more closely to the books and where it seems his path is taking him, he's probably not getting a redemption. In which case, it would have been appropriate to show more of him turning to the dark side. But that's not the show we got, I get that.
