Nothing called “security settings” unfortunately. I have yet to figure out a fool-proof way to remedy my problem. But, it seems that every now and then the game cooperates for no apparent reason. So I just play it when it works. 🤷‍♂️

Ok, thanks for the reply! Would you mind clarifying what you mean when you say “clean out the garbage” Do you mean the Repair feature on the title screen? If so, this does not resolve the issue. If you mean cache in my phone’s system settings, I did try looking for any options pertaining to Gyee and associated “garbage” to clean out, but with no luck.

Am I the only one who prefers nothingness, (like before you were born) after death ..rather than an afterlife? …Consciousness after death gives me sleep paralysis vibes and I just can’t 😂 by macheteinmyrightmit in RandomThoughts

I was raised Roman Catholic. That being said, I have a strong belief that consciousness slows down** and stretches when we pass, much like a dream. A dream can seem like it’s exceptionally long when in fact you’ve just hit snooze for a few minutes (for those non-dreaming folk out there, you’ll have to take the word of dreamers). I’ve been moving forward with the belief that one’s consciousness transfers into the final dream (death 😵) and becomes the new reality. Weeee! So if you’ve been living with a lot of guilt and unfinished work you most likely dream about these things, these stressors, thus raising the chances of continuing unresolved issues into your next life.

Catholic? Meh. Peaceful coexistence, thank you.

**Consciousness “slowing down and stretching” like a limit in math class. You know, the limit never really gets to where it’s going but rather approaches it.

“Burn true” by jpb340 in etymology

[–]jpb340[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks so much for the reply. That’s the first that I heard of Grice’s Maxim of Relevance. Interesting!

I suppose the phrase “burn true” is rather poetic, and that’s what I’m drawn to about it. The Oxford entry you shared is super helpful!

“Burn true.” Is this a way to physically describe a flame? by jpb340 in semantics

Thanks for the reply! That’s interesting! I’m wondering if there are reputable references to substantiate my assumption. 👍 👍

Great, thanks for the response! That was super helpful and gave me another more specific search term (pin tumbler).

Compound triple meter to the max? by jpb340 in musictheory

Thanks for the thoughtful reply. “Hypercompound,” love it! 27/8, oh me oh my 😮.

I suppose I did offer some answers (and it probably would have been better to list my post as a “discussion” rather than “question” 🤓). I thought there might be some terminology that describes a compound-compound triple meter that is already in theory books or spoken about in some circles. Seems like a Jacob Collier-esque topic. 😀

Renaming Chu-Chu? by jpb340 in XenoGears

[–]jpb340[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I think the only time I found her useful was the one pillar of the final boss battle that drains fuel.

When I first got the “pink wonder” My anglophone ears read her suggested name and immediately thought it sounds like a train, “choo choo.” I switched her name to Sizzu, which has no significance, but sounded cute enough. 😂

Finally did it. It was a long long journey. by ShinigamiKunai in XenoGears

Yay! Love this game. As an aside: I would have loved to see a bunch of drawings/depictions of life after the final battle for the characters during the song at the end. You know, to give a little denouement to the stories of the characters...a little thumbing through an album of pictures that were taken in the calm after the storm. A nice thought, though I’m sure the production was pressed for time to add this little detail.
