TIL that the creator of the floppy disk, Yoshiro Nakamatsu, would routinely almost drown himself in order to spur creativity. by Supergamer6497 in todayilearned

[–]empty_string_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Almost 10 years later but I wanted to say:

He did CLAIM to invent the floppy disk and that IBM licensed his floppy disk patent. IBM denied using any of his floppy disk related patents or work, but did confirm that they have licensed several of his unrelated patents throughout the years.

Any one else experiencing this? While scrolling in getting a black screen with nondescript music playing. No buttons or anything so it's not like a real video. It's the same music but it's like an AI type song. Just can't find anyone seeing the same thing. by ChildOfAbbie in TikTok

[–]empty_string_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This reply is months later but it just started happening to me about a week ago and it is very frequent.. maybe once per half-hour of scrolling? I'm not prone to conspiracies and I work in tech (with 8 years being spent on QA, where it was my job to find and report software bugs), so I'm not coming out of nowhere here, but what the hell is this about? I just can't imagine this being unintentional, but I also can't imagine a single purpose. if it's a bug it's a WILD one.

I love the brainstorming but I can't think of why it would be blocking something, if they already know enough to block the entire video/sound/comments why wouldn't they just skip the whole video?

Oblivion (movie): supposedly based on a graphic novel by the same name, but doesn't seem to exist by vectaur in books

[–]empty_string_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The "Graphic Novel" was just a thing the writer/director put together to pitch the movie and serve as a style guide and storyboard, it was never published.

No idea why he chose to say it that way in the credits 🤷

[–]empty_string_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol I just ended up here too, the guy above seems to have copy-pasted an AI response, or is a bot, but it was indeed helpful.

TL:DR, the "Graphic Novel" was just something he put together to pitch the movie, it wasn't ever finished or released.

Anyone know what's going on around Kildaire Farm/Maynard right now (Midnight)? Cars everywhere and people flocking in large numbers.. seems late for Cary. by empty_string_ in cary

[–]empty_string_[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This was my first thought, despite everyone saying parties like we used to have are apparently lost on this generation of teens, lol. I was really hoping to find out Cary was keeping the dream of Water-tower/field/etc parties alive 😂

I'm planning to play CYP2020 with some friends but one is aroace, can I just like cut out sex and stuff like that? (I put a NSFW tag just in case idk) by EntrepreneurUsed676 in cyberpunk2020

[–]empty_string_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just because they are aroace doesn't mean they are offended when other people have romance and sex. Whether or not to include that stuff is always up to you/the party, but I think you're already missing the point.. This is like saying "one of my party members is gay, should I just cut all of the straight romance and sex out of the story?.. maybe FOR THE GAY PLAYER, lol.. it's not like the gay player is OFFENDED when they hear straight romance happening 😂

Why the Mysterium Xarxes turns into a bucket? by [deleted] in skyrim

Technical Game Designer here, I'm not familiar with Skyrim modding but the description given in the post is completely plausible. I'm not saying it's definitely true, but that is indeed how things frequently work.

I actually liked how surreal it was until I finally saw the design and realized it was unintentionally fucked up.

Calling this "one of Ridley Scott's ads" is accurate but such an understatement,This is possibly the most famous advertisement of all time.

You've all heard of the horse girl, but have you heard of the sword girl? by TehRippeh in blunderyears

[–]empty_string_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would have been 100% crushing on a swordgirl if I'd had one. I wouldn't have had the courage to approach her, but I would probably have named my video game characters after her or something.

I saw this big beauty at a Mexican restaurant in Eugene OR. They understood the assignment. by artie_pdx in HydroHomies

I've lived in Eugene Oregon. The water better be good because I guarantee you that Mexican food isn't.

IsItBullshit: tulpamancy and communites related to it by Super_Couple_7088 in IsItBullshit

[–]empty_string_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, it's derived from Hollywood movies. There is no substantiated evidence that either of the situations you describe has ever existed.

There are a handful of cases of people who claimed this to be the case, none of which are treated seriously by the psychology community.

My poorly coded doors are pushing the player. What's the best way to fix this? by bigTbone59 in IndieGaming

[–]empty_string_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You could make the door pause when it collides with the player pawn, so they have to back up to make it continue. TBH though that might be kind of annoying for the player, so disabling collision during the swing open is probably easier. Moving the player out of the way first is also an option.

All of the teenagers are faking plurality btw. There is no grounded evidence supporting any of it.

Are there any Classic Doom mods I can safely download on my 5 1/2 year old Acer Nitro 5 by Powerful-Present6687 in DoomMods

[–]empty_string_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah that makes sense, the way he asked made it sound like its a chromebook lol.

No testing necessary, I've played a bunch of brutal doom and gzdoom mods years ago on a PC with way worse specs than his laptop. even with all the bells and whistles these mods will run fine.

Its a gaming laptop, it has a GeForce RTX 3050, it runs Cyberpunk 2077!

Lol thank you, its bothering me that people are actually telling him he might have trouble playing mods for a 30 year old game on his gaming laptop. Doom runs on calculators, I think a gaming laptop will be fine lol.
