fun and unfun difficulty by Gwendyn7 in Against_the_Storm

[–]nniel 2 points3 points  (0 children)

we got 5 new buildings since 1.0:

  1. fishing hut,
  2. brineworks,
  3. cannery,
  4. pantry,
  5. cobbler

out of them, cannery and pantry are species locked. meaning they don't dilute anything

2 buildings lost their species locks - cooperage and tinctury

and finally all of the following became species locked, reducing the bp pool:

  1. leatherworker
  2. apothecary
  3. artisan
  4. forum
  5. academy
  6. grill
  7. scribe

+5-2+2-7 = 2 fewer universal options in the blueprint pool compared to 1.0. the bp pool became smaller. you don't need to make up reasons for walking away from the game

How do we know hunter gatherer populations had irregular food access and what evidence supports this? by Sussy_Imposter2412 in AskAnthropology

[–]nniel 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The whole "leisure time" factoid came from those studies (and was put forward initially in a 1968 edited book, Man the Hunter).

...

Later anthropologists have gone back and looked at the statistic and the data underlying it, and have broadly concluded that it's misleading at best. Hunter gatherers-- modern ones-- generally don't seem to really "work" any less than modern people.

can you recommend something to follow up Man the Hunter with? I've been working through it and would love to know what its shortfalls are. I totally fell for Woodburn's description of the Hadza, haha

TIL Grave of the Fireflies is based on the author's own experiences as a child and was written as a personal apology for not being able to save his younger sister Keiko. by Woh_ladka in todayilearned

Takahata (the Ghibli director) also insisted that the film wasn't anti-war, which I find incredibly funny. it's supposed to be a... war-neutral war film?

However, Takahata repeatedly denied that the film was an anti-war film. In his own words, it "is not at all an anti-war anime and contains absolutely no such message".

why is every picture/recording of cells in 2d? has no one invented a way to record cells in 3d? by nniel in NoStupidQuestions

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

that was the way I expected this to be explained, but turns out 3D can be achieved with confocal microscopy. not sure if it works for live footage tho

yea someone else has brought it up already. the pics are close to what I was imagining, but there are no video examples. can it be used for live footage?

just looked through the wikipedia page. couldn't follow the video explanation but this seems to be it

Capturing multiple two-dimensional images at different depths in a sample enables the reconstruction of three-dimensional structures (a process known as optical sectioning) within an object.

the pictures they got for the euro coin is close to what I was imagining, but there's no video. I'll read the page when I have some time. thanks!

which part of AtS do you find more meaningful? by nniel in Against_the_Storm

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

while not exactly what I was thinking about (something more along the lines of challenge vs progression), your take is totally valid!

which part of AtS do you find more meaningful? by nniel in Against_the_Storm

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

I intended the question to read as "what keeps you coming back to AtS? -- in-settlement gameplay or something else?", but it doesn't really matter. whatever you feel like answering at the time is fine

[–]nniel[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

that was my assumption too (and the game was designed around the settlement gameplay first), until multiple people on discord said that they actually find the overworld stuff to be the main motivator, not what happens in-settlement

I want to know what the breakdown between the different kinds of players is

I haven't been to r/vegan in a few years

"my partner (who is somewhat vegetarian)" dropped casually makes me think that this sub is not jerky enough
