I am curious and exited to hear what tricks they have used.
Theres nothing in the engine reqiring to fill every cell between two cells. Might as well be empty space, or cells with random generated terrain.
Also how are they doing the ship interior cell? Loading a cell without removing the old? Why aren't they using the same thing for interior windows in houses then?
No, just that there are no invisible walls. After 7 hours of flying, she reached a paper-cutout of the planet.
Still nerdy if one also enjoy other anime stuff more than the average person. I consider anime nerds as nerds.
It wasnt when and where I grew up. The stereotype was still the "Revenge of the nerds" or "Steve Urkel". But I kinda took the label as a shield when people used it on me and I learned what it meant. Why should I be ashamed of enjoying digging into computers and programming? Why would enjoying books or non-mainstream comics be such a negative thing? Why would playing more advanced video games be sad? Or finding math fun? And why was I the only one who would admit to enjoying it at school? I know a few people had some shared interest, but they never spoke of it at school. Also why yell out loudly that whatever I was lost in was utterly boring to them? And when reaching the next level of education and meeting people LIKE ME, the nerd label hardened. They were nerds, I was nerd. I learned about roleplaying games, MTG, even more advanced video games, that stuff that seemed was the domain of most nerds.
The nerd label meant someone who had multiple interests into stuff that average people called "boring". Finding people who called themselves nerds meant that they very likely shared some interests with me, or could teach me something new I would find interesting. So I am still a bit sore that people who bullied me for being a nerd later proudly declare themselves nerds for ONLY playing such a simple game as World of Warcraft when that was popular. It is about using a word for what seemed like it had its own meaning back then, who now have become a synonym for "gamer".
/u/pjhenry1216@kbin.social I dont consider that gate-keeping. I would welcome all and any to enjoy the things nerds enjoy. I just want to have a name for the subculture I joined and found belonging in. Words like goth have meaning still, and it isnt gatekeeping to assume it means people who enjoys dressing in all-black.
Is "nerd" such a negative thing anymore? Seems like its been watered down to mean "I play at least one video game".
I use the term "classic nerd" for what was once "nerd" because I havent found another word that covers it.
Give it to a bunch of bored monks. If they could make something as useless as two chained sticks into a cool weapon..
Usb sticks corrupts damn easily. Even faster carrying them around. Learnt that the hard way.
Or does anyone know about an usb stick that is practically immortal, that they can recommend?
Yeah, its not like Lemmy hosters have money for advertising unfortunately. Best adverts they could get was word of mouth when Reddit fell.
Yeah. A bit more diversity is what I miss.
But going back to reddit doesnt feel the same anymore either. I dont know how but the people there have changed. They upvote less. They complain more. And doesnt join in on my crappy jokes. 😟
Its worrying we're fallen so far into consumerism that they dared even try. Unless we put a big stop to the damn subscription trend, they will try again. And again. Until we one day accept it.
Not done with it. We want both decentralization and everything in a convenient place. Best of both worlds. So we end up with a discussion board that is also an rss reader, aka the activitypub protocol.
I'm hoping your right, that it changes the web for the better. But most people follow advertisements right back into the clutches of corpo-controlled products.
To all you uBlock Origin fans: Any reason why nobody ever recommend AdGuard over uBlock Origin? Anything questionable about it? Or is it just that uBlock is well-known?
