If speed running counts I was once top 10 in the world for speed running a puzzle game. Since then I’ve dropped into the 20s and the video has been lost

My last few movies were:
As a book reader Messiah wraps up Paul’s story, which is what I assume Dennis is going for. There’s absolutely no reason to make Children unless you want to make God-Emperor and God-Emperor would be very difficult to make into a watchable movie. Plus going past that would be outside most regular viewers’ tastes. So I expect he’ll mostly do Messiah, sprinkle some bits from Children in there and leave it with a pretty solid ending that could be continued. Spoiler prediction:
I’d guess he’ll end it with Leto II assuming control of Arrakis and the Empire while looking at a sandworm in the distance or sandworm larva, hinting at where God-Emperor is going
The only reason I listen to Film Reroll is because it’s about movies. I don’t even listen to all of them, just movies I know will be fun/I’ve seen. Fifth Element, Mighty Ducks, Aliens, Last Action Hero, and Memento (which was incredibly cool how they did it) are the ones I’ve listened to since 2020.
Something about actual play just irritates me, especially for D&D. I’d just rather play myself
I’m fully in the Nick Weiger podcast universe so I listen to:
Which are all comedy podcasts with similar people appearing. They’re about chain restaurants, random side bullshit, Video Games, and Anime respectively. Then I also listen to:
Which is a podcast by 2 former cracked writers which is the only reason people listen to them and a podcast about playing through movies as role playing games
Dick is/was a relatively common nickname
Yeah it is. This was on my second playthrough and I was doing a cheesy tavern brawler monk so I could have solo’d the fight (which is also why I had thrown the spear). It only took us 10 minutes to reset
Been there. I tossed the spear of night accidentally and when we went to talk to the nightsong we couldn’t kill her and had a very confusing cutscene with Shadowhart. We had to redo the Balthazar fight
Oh man, that answers some questions I’ve had for a while. Some of the podcasts I listened to have custom ad reads and then some will just blast the same ad as another unrelated one. Especially considering I get republican ads on podcasts with very liberal hosts. Plus gambling ads fucking everywhere
I mean we’re already discussing porn, so I’ll just point out most of the “gonewild” posters are just advertising their onlyfans. Do you think every single article posted here is done so with pure intention? Several of the popular apps for lemmy have banner ads. I hate ads more than the average person (in real life not on lemmy) and even I acknowledge that you’ll never escape them. Even when you totally ban them, they still will be present
I think we all know there’s going to be a few bigger instances that people use for lemmy and those ones will eventually resort to ads to keep the lights on. Historically, that doesn’t cause users to run away screaming and lemmy instances not federated with the most popular instances will face a tough uphill battle retaining users
It’s a little naive to assume there’s zero advertising on lemmy. Plus at some point someone has to pay to keep the lights on here, especially if we’re going to continue growing. Historically we have seen that users don’t like to pay for content and that advertisers will pay to be on the platform
The problem with that distinction has always been advertisers. Letting users label content for adults is one thing, letting users specifically say their content involves disturbing content seems like a tacit approval of the behavior. Most advertisers have little interest in doing business with those platforms
Which is to say that lemmy might have an opportunity there because the platform is less ad centric!
At one point when Republicans did their latest shitty thing to trans people the Wachowskis decided to auction off a bunch of props/awards/memorabilia to fundraise for a charity and I won one of the lots with this in it. Amongst other awards
I’d probably bring this. It’s the actual award that the Movie V for Vendetta won for being certified fresh on Rotten Tomatoes
For what it’s worth I had it too and while I liked peach much more I remember blue as a cream soda variant. So maybe try some of those and see how close they are
You’ve never held a perfectly smooth sphere. The earth is a much smoother surface than a billiard ball. There’s no edge conceptually, in the same way that vacuum is not missing air, it’s nothing. It warps spacetime in a way that you can’t discern an edge. Likewise there is no “inside” a wormhole. It’s a hole in three dimensional space that leads to another point in three dimensional space. There’s no “inside” because that implies a point that exists outside our universe which based off our current understanding of physics, is impossible
We literally don’t have the language to describe these phenomenons because humans are three dimensional creatures. We can’t imagine these concepts because it involves a reality we can’t perceive. It’s like asking someone to imagine a color they’ve never seen. We can’t do it
I’m not a physicist, just an internet nerd. So take none of this as true or factual
My understanding is that wormholes are the logical outcome of certain branches of theoretical physics. They share similarities to black holes in that they have so much mass crammed into a single point that the space-time just kinda breaks. However black holes emit a large amount of energy in the form of angular momentum from their spin and Hawking radiation. We would expect wormholes to likewise require large amounts of energy. Again, we can’t know the specifics but that amount of energy is likely so huge that no human could make it. I’m talking about more energy than a million times all the food you will eat in your entire life. So unless these people are powered by secret fusion reactors instead of hamburgers, they’re breaking physics. If you can do that then any other superpower is ancillary
It’s also incorrect to think of a wormhole as a portal from portal that you can adjust in size. It’s technically a three dimensional hole in a four dimensional plane. If you can’t picture that don’t worry, it’s basically impossible for humans. There’s no “edge” really to grab and expand. What “edge” of a perfectly smooth sphere can you hold onto to pull it larger? Fundamentally that’s a flawed question
And a lot of the theories about how they function involve having such a large mass that it punches a hole in spacetime. Which takes several orders of magnitude more energy than humans have ever produced. Thus making them at will kinda breaks entropy as a concept
Gale’s “bad” ending is actually the best ending in the game.
Who cares that he doesn’t get character growth, he disappointed a cat and an old man, HE’S A GOD! Seriously, nothing else matters. So what if Ao is going to make him earn his spot on the pantheon? He’s immortal, he has literally forever to do it. Sure professor Gale is fun and more chill, but he’s still mortal. In six months Gale does what Vlaakith has been attempting for centuries. I don’t know how you can be disappointed in someone for successfully becoming a god
