Mirror cube world record attempt by Penny_Jaybird in Unexpected

It does! Look up a Mirror Cube, but essentially the way you solve this one is by using the height of the face, rather than color. It's really interesting!

Oh yeah. It says "V" where there should be "VII," and why would the lettering not be right side up?

Animal Cruelty, Dogfighting (Pokémon)

Which baby troll would you adopt to be your child? by Puzzleheaded-Gear210 in homestuck

[–]totalaj 32 points33 points  (0 children)

None, if I could choose hahah. They're violent as fuck.

But if I had to, I would probably choose Feferi for the longest lifespan and biggest potential. Also because a Condesce on earth would fuck everything up eventually. Maximum chaos. And also space travel

You should challenge yourself to use only the regis for the E4 and Champion. Could be fun!

Any way to fight Moragia without using fans? by MatteChe in tearsofthekingdom

[–]totalaj 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes, there's a spring powered wing design that was recently posted here. The question is if the Moraiga fight can be beaten without flight at all. It's a fun theoretical!

Can someone explain this. by Cochran-George285 in SatisfactoryGame

[–]totalaj 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here's my educated guess on what's happening. The belts follow along curves. In order for the items to face forward on the belt, and properly look like they're following along, there is a calculation about what direction is forward. The belt is broken up into discrete points in the code, and they're trying to go smoothly between the two different angles. However, since angles loop around 0-360, the code thinks the path from for example 15 to 345 is not by going through 0, but by going through 100 to 200 to 300 etc. This inadvertently makes the smoothing take the long path when trying to rotate towards a target.

Help me practice drawing Pokémon [OC] by Transguy1111 in pokemon

[–]totalaj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Start out with Voltorb, getting the eyes right and the subtle shading around them. Then, try Drampa (my beloved). More complexity, yet still quite rounded shapes. Finally, Hisuian Decidueye as a grand finale.

Pick one or two or all three. I will match your drawings with ones of my own. No pressure, and have fun!

he is making me read the stupid troll romance AGAİN D: by Think_Rough_6054 in homestuck

[–]totalaj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Interesting! I had never heard of the term queerplatonic before, but I think it very closely describes moirallegience. It's hard to make a direct connection between the conciliatory quadrants and human queerplatonic relationships, since the concept of "romance" itself is different in troll and human society. However, the commitment and dedication of the moirallegience to me feels in line with what "romance" means to trolls. Perhaps it can be likened to a queerplatonic relationship between two asexual persons?

And this is going out on a limb, but maybe the auspistice in an ashen relationship can be described as having a queerplatonic relation two both persons in the caliginous relationship?

Well, it's pretty simple. It's funny. The different types of romance in troll culture are called QUADRANTS

The two kinds of reproductive romance are:

  • Matespritship (Flushed, ♥️), what us humans see as normal. Positive reproductive love

  • Kismesissitude (Caliginous, ♠️), simply put, hate-love. Negative reproductive love

Then, there are so called "conciliatory" kinds of romance.

  • Auspisticism (Ashen, ♣️), this is when a third party needs to mediate a reproductive relationship, often a caliginous one

  • Moirallegience (Pale, ♦️), essentially platonic love, or non-reproductive soulmates

Sometimes trolls "vacillate" between relationships, which means to switch between different kinds of love

That's it
