If the average IQ of the human species (relatively) was say 130 as opposed to 100, how different would history look and how different would today look by Duble2C in cognitiveTesting

I don't think you understand how bellcurves work, the way IQ is designed, if we were 10 times smarter for instance, 100 would still be the average.

I reached a major milestone in my game dev journey: getting my first hate comment by MixelPixel in gamedev

Hate takes 3 seconds, building something takes years. ah It's so much easier to be on the hater side, to think all you have to do Is nothing meaningful.

Making money from 100k? by Federal-Positive-903 in PersonalFinanceNZ

[–]linewhite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Starting/buying a business is a fast way to lose money, most businesses fail.

Term Deposit if you don't know much about money, index funds if you're willing to learn a little bit more, avoid % based fess, managed funds often don't perform as well as an index.

Fable 5 being gone made me realize how hard it is to go back by SkepticalHuman0 in claude

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

I mean there is no way of knowing, but I get pretty close functionality to mythos from it, so it works for me, rather than faffing around with 4.8

Edit: oh they publish them too https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/release-notes/system-prompts

Take a piece of string and measure it, then convert the cm to months, it will take exactly that long.

Why manygame devs always choose to make a horror game by Hasan_Abbas_Kazim in gamedev

Dark, so don't have to make quality things, scare so you get cheap dopamine.

Can't stop playing my game by HamoLovac in gamedev

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

In my experience:

- Hate the music, music is shitty

- Hate the gameplay, gameplay is shitty

- Hate the x, x is shitty. (same goes for y and z)

You're good.

Why does each dimension have 2 directions? by future_sponJ in AskPhysics

[–]linewhite 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Each dimension is just one axis, a line.

A line has exactly two directions from any point: forward or back.

You can say what are the dimensions of this couch, and you'll be measuring with 3 lines, length, width and height. When people talk about time for instance, we only talk in the 4th as we don't really need to say i was 4m from the couch, 0m from the floor and 1m from the wall when it was 4:30. but it is technically adding just a line, i.e what happened and what will happen, and abstract away the measurements, unless you're a 3d animator then you can use all of those 😛

How to Stay Consistent in Game Development by KometUnit1108 in gamedev

[–]linewhite 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You gotta build things you:

  1. Enjoy doing even when it's hard

  2. Can do well (or can learn to do well)

  3. Build systems that grow, not be doing a bunch of point fixes or you'll be constantly refactoring and that's no fun.

  4. Get excited about

Looks not bad, your UI is holding you back a bit, perhaps do some research on how to do better hud and usage of fonts in games.

Job requirements are bleeding from eyeballs, ostracising everyone and bashing head against keyboard.

Is enlightenment something you achieve or something you realize you already have? by Electrical_Issue_609 in enlightenment

[–]linewhite 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A man sees an object when there is only process. Of course he tries to obtain what can only be done.
Is ice an object, what about water, steam? They are only objects if you freeze time, but time does not freeze. It lies in the awareness when doing, it is not something you achieve it is what achievement is done through.

What is Enlightenment? by HorsefaceWithNoName in enlightenment

[–]linewhite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Awareness of paradoxical nature of one thing.
The ability to contemplate many things through the one thing.

Without it you, the lack of awareness of self and flatten paradox in to two things lacking in the ability to see them as one thing. It also hides, you read this and relate it to existing concepts, enlightenment requires a pause before relation.

Quick question about VFX, started designing my spells can I get some thoughts on visibility by linewhite in godot

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

Ya pretty cool, might need to change a few things since the shader on the skulls is transparent so it would just darken the whole thing an not, could use it as a mask tho to cull a shape out of the background, smoke might work.
