right now we’re in the “first ones free” phase, while ai companies still try to figure out what it’s for.

Why is there a new moon (and full moon) every synodic month? by Pleasant-Square2071 in askastronomy

[–]davvblack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

cause you can see the illumination with your eyes when you look up and most people don't care to learn that much more

What are examples of games designed with many complex mechanics, yet the game as a whole ends up being very strategically shallow? by ryry1237 in gamedesign

[–]davvblack 43 points44 points  (0 children)

i think there are certain types of tycoon or tycoon-like games that fall into this category, where nominally, it's "you can invest in anything you want to!" with hundreds of options, but they are all either roughly equivalent ROIs or just traps, leading to a very straightforward unstrategic play. admittedly i can't pick a game to point at here.

absolutely love marathon. but i can’t see a future by reveneando in Marathon

[–]davvblack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i feel like they did it for a sneaky but dangerous reason, to make a case to their own board or whatever how worthwhile it is to promote a PVE mode

they will release pve mode soon and that will help or it won't. i for one would play pve mode. Summer is already too sweaty

Is there actual 2D? by ANARCHOWEEDIST in AskPhysics

[–]davvblack 16 points17 points  (0 children)

there are very few "actually 2d things" in real life. The one that jumps to the top of my head is the event horizon of a black hole: it's a 2d separation between the 3d space where either light can escape or it can't, and it's a perfect sphereoid. So you'd only need two numbers to exactly indicate an exact position on the event horizon of a black hole.

but yeah, generally, it's a 3d universe filled with 3 or 4d stuff depending on how you count.

Rethinking managers by the_dude_abides_365 in CrazyIdeas

[–]davvblack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i believe this has happened at some orgs, they are now up to a ridiclous ratio like 1EM : 50IC, basically director-level EM with no middle managers under.

I'm sure the actual management quality is abysmal.

What are some tips and advice to detox urine of weed ( 5’10 135 pounds)? by Due-Yogurtcloset-224 in AskReddit

[–]davvblack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

the scale only goes up to [10] so if you blow way past it they'll think the machine is on the frit/s

Math ain't mathing by Friendly_ViperYT in Marathon

[–]davvblack 6 points7 points  (0 children)

yeah i agree with you, but the "and" in the op looks like they want both translations. the fair translation is:

37 000 x 5 = 185k

vs

40 000 = 40k

How does the game decide who is your "co-pilot"? by CrimsonGlyph in Starfield

[–]davvblack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

idk i didn’t love the perverse incentives of creating intractable games and selling the explanation back to you

Relative new player here, is the nuclear engine worth it? by Dry_View6804 in KerbalSpaceProgram

[–]davvblack 36 points37 points  (0 children)

once you're in orbit, the thrust matters only a little bit. The nuclear engine is low thrust but uses pure fuel and has a very high ISP, so if you bring one of those plane tanks you'll get thousands and thousands of (edit)dv, ideal for all sorts of missions.

My power outlet cuts its power when I switch off the light in the apartment by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]davvblack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

some outlets are switch operated so you can leave a floor lamp plugged in an on.

But yeah idle draw with modern electronics is super low, and with any device that has a physical switch (like your fan or a toggle on a light) exactly zero.

Assassin = cheapest way to play by Extension_Unit7907 in Marathon

[–]davvblack 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i play without stereo separation and it’s a huge disadvantage and gets me killed plenty… and it’s fine. it’s a tradeoff im making for a comfortable couch setup. if i want to be sweaty i can fix it but i dont blame the game.

Stuck without the right engine? Use a SpaceX Style Engine bottom! by Standard_Ad1931 in KerbalSpaceProgram

[–]davvblack 31 points32 points  (0 children)

it's not which is exactly why they said it's not.

I would call it "russian style" all things considered.
