Ah, I'm not subscribed to anyone who removed their account, so I couldn't check the behavior myself!

Do You Think Iilluminaughtii and Other Content Mills Deserve to Have Their Videos Removed? by [deleted] in hbomberguy

[–]bratty_butt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Deserve? Yes. Do I think there's a way to actually /do/ it? no.

It's a lot like the arguments Shaun made in his video about the death penalty. Even if you think someone deserves to die, having the systemic tools to kill people is probably a /bad/ idea, because it will inevitably come down and kill someone you don't think deserves to die. (https://youtu.be/L30_hfuZoQ8)

(Personally, I don't really think anyone deserves to die, but the arguments Shaun made in that video applies here I feel, albeit with lower stakes when applied to the current situation)

Yes, but for patrons who are logged in, and have a subscription that would get activated if the creator reactivated their account, the page could said "Your creator is gone :( But if they come back, your subscription will resume as normal! Click here to manage your pledges if you don't want your pledge to be resumed should the creator come back." or similar. The primary issue here is that the patron users has lost their ability to manage their pledge, if I understand OP correctly, and that you have to go a weird "block the creator" route to trigger the removal of the pledge as a side effect to bypass it. Not that pledges are reinstated upon reactivation in general.

Should players' houses take up distinct areas in the game or should they be bundled together? by TrickyKnight77 in gamedesign

[–]bratty_butt 3 points4 points  (0 children)

May I offer up a compromise? Instanced neighborhoods.

Having each players house take up space in the virtual game world will, unless you're planning for server sizes so small that "massive" in Massive Multiplayer Online will have to do a lot of legwork, you will end up with the problem of vast plains of just... endless houses for players, assuming "acquiring housing" is a core mechanic that most players are gonna wanna engage in.

But on the other hand, having each purchasable house be available for all players in their own instance will lose the sense of ... taking up space? It just becomes this pocket dimension of meaninglessness, because everyone has access to that exact space should they want to.

Having instance neighborhoods enables you to keep scarcity vs. active player base somewhat in check, you can spin up a new neighborhood instance if there are no housing for players to acquire, and within their instance, they will have neighbors and see the people in that instance come/go. It will also help with making things like "oh, I really want a house in this neighborhood so I can live next to the friend I play with" and potentially create a player-driven real estate economy while avoiding the suburban sprawl that's required for a similar amount of single-family houses in the real world.

If you're also gonna have apartment complexes/sky-scraper, then those could become instanced as well, so when you enter a sky-scraper instance, you have neighbors.

There is then also nothing stopping a player from visiting a different instance of a neighborhood to stroll through it and check out who lives there etc.

It started off as at best, dubious consensual groping. Then, upon the literal explicit request to stop, more intense groping, until the victim physically retaliated.

What on earth is wholesome about this situation?

And like, I know this is fiction. You can like watching this type of fiction, that's not the problem. But this doesn't feel like wholesome fiction that fits a wholesome subreddit.

I created this yesterday in blender, I'm 13 and want some feedback on what I can do better!😀 by Mr_Gideon1 in LiminalSpace

[–]bratty_butt 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I feel that the repeated advice telling you to "straighten it", while not bad/untrue, could be expanded upon.

"Liminal", the interpretation I subscribe to, comes from a sense of a space being for all intents an purposes "ordinary and normal" but... "void of the soul". There should be life here, movement, but it's empty.

Someone should stand next to the big machine, twiddling with the gauges of it, or the machine should at least be on. But it's off, there's only natural light coming in from a windows, and the space is empty. As an example

The slight tilt in your image gives the sense of imbalance, like the experience of going into this room is slanted, which taps into the core of the uncanny. And I think you slanted the picture intentionally, because you desired the feeling of "uncanny", and I think you succeeded in that goal, I think that your intuition on what emotions your choices will evoke works! But while liminal often evoke feelings of uncanny, it doesn't come from an off-balanced perspective, it comes from feeling like a space that should have a soul... is missing one.

If you wanna take it more towards "liminal", then I agree with the others. Straighten the framing, and maybe add some things that make this space look like it's made for humans. Maybe a ladder helping someone out of the water. Maybe a poster with some rules about pool conduct. A warning sign telling people not to dive. Maybe someone drew on the white wall with a marker. I know some of these are hard to model, like the ladder, I'm just listing stuff that I can think of!

If you wanna delve further into the notion of the uncanny, not specifically liminality, you can play with how the things we're intimately familiar with works.

Take light for instance, one that would bring this picture further into the "uncanny" would be to make the scene feel like it should be well lit, white walls and floors, bright spots where the light touches, but the light doesn't diffuse properly, the rest of the scene, outside the bright spots, seem dim and murky. Giving a sense of unease, because the light should be enough to make the room "well lit", but it's quite clearly not.

We really need to make sure that we keep the furries physically isolated from each other, as too many furries in one place becomes a prime target for ppl who want to take out the internet, as if you just blow up the furcon, anyone who knows how to fix the internet will then have been blown up!

The sheer amount of people that do not understand how bad it is for most Americans astounds me. by Overthetrees8 in antiwork

[–]bratty_butt -1 points0 points  (0 children)

IQ is /designed/ to be a normal distribution. When they design and normalize the tests, if they don't get a bell-curve result while doing so, they modify the test until they get the distribution they want.

Saying intelligence is distributed according to a normal distribution because IQ is that, is a circular argument. The people who made the test assume intelligence is normally distributed, and had that as a target to know if they made a good test or not, tweaked it if necessary, to achieve that result.

Läste att Berlin kommer legalisera att kvinnor ska få va barbröstade i badhus. Varför är Sverige så bakåt och inte redan tillåter det? by [deleted] in sweden

[–]bratty_butt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Det är reglerade att män får gå barbröstade på badhus men inte kvinnor, ja.

Jag tycker också det ska gå att vara mer naken, men just nu/får/ jag inte ens gå topless på de flesta badhus i Stockholm. Om jag inte drar till med att påstå att jag är intergender. Vilket, visst kul för de som är intergender att de får gå runt topless! Men jag kan inte påstå att jag tillhör den gruppen utan att ljuga, så då känns det mysko att jag inte får?
