Let’s try and keep it below 10 11 entries:
Honestly nowadays so many games have great soundtracks, it is a joy to behold! Makes it harder to chose favorites though…
Probably all eastern block states. I know its true for example for East Germany.
Now I need to know which one is cheaper! Please tell us your tricks.
Honestly, games like Undying are exactly the games that need a remaster to fulfill the vision that was clearly there in the original. The first 2/3 are still a marvelous horror game, but the end is so unfulfilling.
Thanks for sharing your work here, I especially like your interesting cast of characters a lot!
It is rare in a fictional work to see somebody truly believe in a religion but not liking (all of) it. In the D&D setting they could choose to believe in another god and then they go into that after life, if they stay true to that new believe, right? It’s an interesting perspective to accept a believe based metaphysical thing as it is, even if you don’t like the whole package (ideals+after life).
And rumors regarding past events need to be rumors far more often! =D
Roundabouts would help for sure, but the area sizes of American cities are just much higher as well and therefore the population density is smaller.
It’s crazy to me that you need 45 minutes for a city of that size. In Germany you probably need 20-30 minutes depending on traffic.
I mean, I’m not an ultra fan, only a casual one and I dislike that. The whole over the top style of WH40k is exactly what was fascinating about it. If I want to play something with modern soldiers, I have Battlefield or Call Of Duty. I play 40k games for the absurdity of it. That’s exactly the kind of “I know better what the fans want” that most bad adaptations are born out of. Luckily it seems they didn’t feel the need to change too much.
But admittedly, I can understand that you don’t want to create something where you are pretty sure enough media illiterate idiots will not get that the fascists are NOT supposed to be the good guys.
Thanks for the confirmation!
That was my source of confusion: finding out, how stuff works exactly is science. Even if we know the rough principle, the details might reveal some new things.
It’s a different isotope, so different number of neutrons. If the proton number would be different, it would be another element altogether, since the proton number defines what element it is.
Could you provide a link to the original artist? I would like to read more from them.
Here is my try at explaining it in layman terms, but I’m not 100% sure I got the meme completely right. I didn’t do protein crystallography, only organometallics.
Crystallography is the dark magic art of turning nice really small crystals into pictures of molecules (or more precisely: 3D maps of electron density) The scientist in the meme wanted to measure the same protein, but under different pH conditions, so either adding some acid or some base while the crystals form. Then they hopefully get different structures at different pH values and can make a nice video animation like a flipbook to show the change in structure.
And I think the meme makes fun of the fact that the scientist did this experiment with a certain expectation and then that expectation happens but the scientist is surprised by it happening.
They chose a protein which is a reductase, meaning it can reduce the oxidation state of certain molecules. Such a reduction reaction is often dependant on pH value in organism (I think), therefore changing the pH value changes what the protein will do in the crystallization solution.
I mean it’s not really exploiting if that is exactly the reason why preferential voting exists. Or do I misunderstand something?
I’m trying to think of any game I played that was like that. You have some examples (western or not, old or not) on your mind?
Thanks for explaining your reasoning, I see it different than you.
Especially your comment regarding the LLM is where our beliefs differ: an LLM is the software plus the hardware, so in my opinion for sure if there ever is a “real” conscious AI, we know what it is made out of and that it’s the collection of programs that run on the hardware (we might never understand why that lead to consciousness, but it isn’t more than what was put in). So whatever that AI is, is defined by those two things. Same as we humans are defined by our nerve system and brain. Take parts of it away and it changes the whole (=brain damage, trauma, drugs, etc.).
Especially drugs and their influence on our minds are a big reason why I’m strongly in the “it’s all physical” camp. Taking drugs changes the minds of people while those drugs are in the system. That people feel their thinking change, is proof for me, that it’s all physical, since it can be influenced by physical means, e.g. drugs.
Now we both stated our beliefs, but I don’t think we will get a real answer in the close future and I don’t think we will convince the other person, so thanks again for explaining your reasoning.
What is the reasoning that you believe that your consciousness can’t arise out of physical matter?
Oh for sure, that might be the case. But everything already written in some holy book or told in some ritual now definitely lacked those sophisticated machines, making all their content moot and you can safely disregard them.
So due to the lack of any information, you can’t prepare and therefore can’t expect anything. So it’s better to be good for its own sake, then trying to appease some bronze/iron age divinity.
You can read about the context of Don’t Ask Don’t Tell on Wikipedia.
Or the article itself also explains why the other commentator wrote that ;)
The car bomb is triggered by turning the ignition. The POV is of the unsuspecting victim, so no bomb in view, just the view of turning the ignition.
It’s not so much nature lovers but social media “content creators” who are criticized here.
There was a case I read of a man caring for a beautiful patch of flowers, but then it got famous on social media and those assholes went there in buses, took pictures lying in there and destroyed it. Heartbreaking to read about that one. Sadly I can’t find that specific case anymore, but there are enough articles about the problem, like this one.
