>>532654 → yeah that'd be neat im not talkin anything ML though just a simply written program i'm a little bit tired of the neural net meme because it's getting used in places that it doesn't need to be used it's actually inappropriate for a lot of things that would be better served by a retaining program that doesn't obfuscate all the data less resource intensive just to write some feed-in and have it automated i don't imagine it'd actually like be profitable in any fashion (though cool if so) but i really just want to flood youtube with the most lazy kind of stuff
Splatoon's single player campaign was pretty decent for a game that's entirely based on its multiplayer content. Some good ol' creatively aggravating Nintendo 3D platforming.
月
does splatoon have a replay system are the matches recorded
Anno
Information is pulled, I think, but they don't record the games in-system. And by information, if I remember correctly, it's limited to how well you perform with certain weapons or weapons types, and a record of your win/loss history.
月
ah so just the stats not like how dota stores all the inputs and states and reconstructs the replay
Anno
Yeah, nothing nearly that elaborate. Professional tournaments probably get the casts uploaded to YouTube, but I don't really know how they handle that. I don't know if there's even like a free camera the casters can use to get an overview shot, but considering the shortcuts Nintendo probably has in to get the maps as nice looking as they are, they probably don't want a camera to go sneaking about being able to see at -all the ugly bits.
月
i just happened to be thinking what games do that like dota does i was thinking about ways to strip that data and procedurally map it to a different platform like having the dota replays with low-scale models representing positions and very simplified graphics just something really dumb like that
Anno
I think Starcraft handles replays the same way. Or in an extremely similar way at least. It records every movement and action taken by every unit over the course of the match. Which is kind of funny for replays because occasionally it doesn't record those actions accurately, and a single blip in the recording can completely throw off the reconstruction.
月
well stuff gets updated so the reconstruction gets fucked
i'd like something where i could pull just huge amounts of replays but have the information already parsed from the visuals it'd be really easy to change the visuals of how something is mapped or to feed state information into a machine but to train a machine to process visual data to then make sense of what's happening in the game is an impossible task
Anno
Splatoon 2 recently got a DLC which after beating, you get to use new octopus-based characters if you want, instead of the series' traditional squid-based characters. And each month they run these global competitions, where they let the users pick one of two sides and duke it out in the game to determine a winning side. In-universe the winner of the competition is "legally" better than the other.
So this month to celebrate the DLC, they're letting players pick between the two races you can now play as. For the in-universe reward of being superior to the other.
It's amusing to wonder if Nintendo understood the full ramifications of what they were doing here.
Ko-Shi
And now the upcoming splatfest is a race war
月
what i had in mind was to automatically and procedurally upload various short clips of replays to youtube of any game would really work i might do dota but it's less satisfying not like tournament highlights or meaningful clips, literally just random clips from random pubs
im tryna think of the most useless videos i can possibly make brainstorming session any ideas
Anno
>Marina: An octopus could be hiding right under your nose right now and YOU'D NEVER KNOW
Anno
I had kind of figured it might be that she was undercover but man, Pearl is thick as ROCKS.
The amount of creative depth in Splatoon is ridiculously astounding. They've got whole fashion brands and have populated their squidkid metropolis with popular bands the kids listen to, celebrities they follow, stores they worship. It makes it pretty neat.
月
it's probably a good thing i don't have a switch i would probably get way too into that stuff
Anno
The multiplayer is refreshing. Each match runs only like five or six minutes so you can just run a few and then put the system down, or marathon a whole bunch of matches. There's a ranking system too, though the game rules for ranked is different from the casual games. And there's a bunch of maps they rotate through, only having two per game mode up each cycle, so it pays to both be familiar and flexible.
Plus the dress-up content in the game is huge.
Sorry I've been binging the game a bit in the past week or so when I'm not playing ONI. I think it's just all around a really solid game.
Anno

>>532740 right now, to watch a replay of a dota match for instance, you gotta download one specific match and then are confined to the sequence of events from that match you don't really know what's in there there's a big time investment to accessing information contained within
im thinkin about how useful it would be to just have broad replay data available inspecific to matches and have search metrics that retrieves relevant segments of replays like a particular gradient // particular direction in a gradient function for any given metric in the game then such a database could just recall relevant clips in a non-cumbersome fashion and you could thumb through generic replay information rather than watching through it visually
idk that's actually really useful and i wanted something absolutely useless dunno why im goin on about it
Anno
>>532742 Oh yeah maybe. I haven't really been paying attention to the Nintendo Online features so maybe that's something they're planning.
Anno
>>532743 Yeah, once you have some manner of sorting a database of clips you could use it to pick out specific clips demonstrating a skill, like a fighting game combo, or a specific item/ability combo in DotA. Like having a fifteen second clip of Meepo blink/hex/poofing/root on some poor sod is way more accessible than looking at a full fifty-minute game recording where he does it. If only for the availability of replaying it without having to needle the match timer.
月
im really not good at using my words right but yeah specifically there aren't like actual video clips, but just raw replay data then you can designate some metrics like hero position, speed, interactions with the environment, even something random like fog of war or creep position, or mainstream like gpm so you can see high gradients where there's big swings but the useless stuff like creep position really interests me it seems pretty ordinary, it's mostly always the same roughly but if there's some really anomalous event in there and you've got creeps being aggroed and then stuck in trees that just respawned at that moment, or creeps wandering way to the wrong lane it's the kinda stuff you'd be like "huh i wanna see what's goin on here" and just reconstruct it from there
and then have a youtube channel that's all just automatically-processed replays that are procedurally uploaded of anomalous things that happen like really spammy amounts of videos 20 or 30 thousand of 15 second clips of random events like that or like z axis position of heroes and when something is happening that doesn't normally happen when a unit is airborne
月
sorry not meaning to override the squiddery with my nonsense
月
that's just an example though, the replay thing im trying to think up ways to automatically and procedurally generate youtube videos of particularly mundane things another thought was to probe through current news feeds, take some of the main information about the event and procedurally grab related images of the subject through google images, put the written content through text to speech, and upload the news piece as a video then auto translate to various other languages and also upload them in those languages with the title also in that language
any other ideas about really generic things what's the most generic thing you can think of
Anno
Uh. Probably 1cm3 of plastic.
Anno
Oh right the carat does that.

i don't think i can procedurally generate plastic or upload it to youtube sadly otherwise i would

It's cool as hell that the system is based on this assumed sophistication that will prevent people from doing shit like that once they have power, and as a result it has no fucking response to it at all Like "Don't worry about it, congress won't let him do it cause it looks bad" But what if it looks good because propaganda is a real thing that exists in the world
Well if there's a meaning, then we're a cog, supposed to do something But the way things are, I don't think many people would be able to fill their role
>>532802 I think we can have meaning even if we reject that meaning. But I was initially thinking about meaning in a more general sense, not just meaning in the way of purpose.
Like when someone asks what the meaning of life is, they aren't looking for "To do right by others" or something, that's something you do because you want to do it on its own grounds
I feel like it wouldn't be meaningful if we shared meaning. I think a lot of people mistake the meaning they project into the world as an objective meaning, though.

Cause pedophilia, hebephilia and ehebophilia are distinct afterall. Most people just refer to all of them as pedophilia and its misleading.
Ehebophilia includes 18 and 19 year olds. >>532874 Besides, philia means attraction. So we need better words. Because there are pedophiles who don't actually do anything and feel bad about their attractions. But people put all of these things under the blanket term pedophilia.

Oh they set one up? I remember Tattun mentioned they -the studio was aware of Patreon but were hesitant to actually go for it. Because it's a -really- radical departure from traditional Japanese animation funding.
>>532938 https://www.patreon.com/studioTRIGGER/overview Yeah They're getting $3835 a month Which is like, the pay for two animators for a year Actually I'm probably overestimating how much animators get paid

How fucking cool would it be, though, if TRIGGER managed to become horizontal and funded by the fans Patreon run anime studios must become real

>>532944 trigger already has a lot of freedom and other studioes can also get that freedom without doing away with the current model it's probably better that way for now
Anno
It looks like the Patreon money is intended to produce merchandise opportunities and to help them get to and host events. So they'll probably continue to finance their anime through traditional means.
>>532946 I guess But at least from what I've seen, it seems like a lot of studios were outrageously good when they just started up cause it was just people who wanted to start an anime studio and nothing was formal and hierarchical to an extreme degree yet But as time goes on, shit becomes a lot more divided and people get assigned specific roles
Maybe TRIGGER is still not far down that road though, I'm not sure

>>532961 yes, I'm just giving a counter example to sk's theory
The only real issue there is they can't all be secure But it does let them actually make really good stuff, too
Anno
The real issues -issue is that almost every animation studio wants to be in Tokyo. Or the supermetropolis surrounding it. You look at studios like KyoAni which is local to Kyoto. They pay their animators very, very well comparatively, and do all their animation in-house. Because residing out in Kyoto there's both the office and living space out there without gouging your employees wallets.
Maria
would anime studios make more or less money if they stopped selling 100$ blu rays?
>>532966 less they tried it in the early 2000s and sold the same amount of copies bc buying anime is niche and there's only a core audience that buys DVDs and BDs
A lot of studios are break aways or subsidiaries of larger production companies. A few of them are from large corporations : Toei Animation and Sunrise at noticable ones. Mushi Pro spawned loads of animation studios from ex-employees: Shaft, Pierrot, Madhouse, Kyoto Animation,
Silver link was from former shaft employees Xebec is // and Wit Studio are from Production I.G
Production I.G, Inc is From tatsunoko Productions. MAPPA is from Madhouse J.C.Staff frp, Tatsunoko Productions GoHands from Satelite Satelight is a pachinko company Bones is from Sunrise A-1 Pictures is Sunrise Gonzo is Gainex

I don't sweat much. I also avoid getting dirty as often as I can. Even then I did used to shower pretty much every other day, but once I started getting bouts of depression any decent habit went out the window. It's not like I enjoy not showering, but habits are really hard to rebuild when you don't have any discipline.
taking care of yourself is key to stability always
Anno
Yeah but there's a catch-22 in that it's easy to become more stable once you have a bit of stability. But if you don't have any stability it's just about impossible to start the ball rolling. I -had- good hygiene habits before I started dealing with depression, but all my stability fell apart once that started. It's hard to attain the keys to stability when instability is working day and night to ensure they remain out of your grasp.

fucking hell I turn my back on the pot for 30 seconds after putting the lid on and turning the heat higher and it goes from "not yet boiling" to "BOOM EXPLOSION"
Anno
It's the inverse law of watched pots.

it actually blasted the lid off and it even has vent holes to prevent that
you haven't heard anything about the kids trapped in the cave, ton?
Kirara 🚗
>>533414 me too but i thought elon musk was gonna kill them
Maria
>>533416 Elon Musk was gonna turn the cave into a spaceship u need to give him more credit >>533418 no way You mean the bags they were gonna carry them out with?
Kirara 🚗
he was saying he was going to to make a submarine that is "kid-sized" for them like huh???
>>533419 >Thai kids and coach go into a cave as part of an initiation ritual thing >oh fuck it's raining >go deeper >get trapped >rest of the cave is flooded >monsoon season soon
he thinks the kids will survive long enough to build a tiny submarine out of spare rocket parts and that it can be controlled flawlessly without any testing whatsoever
>>533421 I dont think he means like, a submarine submarine surely the cave gaps are tiny What the fuck is he daft Surely we're missing something he can't be that dumb
There is a way out. You just don't know where or how far it is, or if your oxygen will hold out. You might be trapped. You might start panicking Jesus I need to slow down sorry ton what the fuck is wrong with me
>>533440 that sounds way more sensible than a submarine
Here's an example of a thought that makes me very uncomfortable rather than what you're describing. Imagine crawling through a ventilation shaft You try to make a turn and get stuck
That's my nightmares.
Kirara 🚗
>>533441 because it is elon musk is just a moron with no practical knowledge he can't do anything and only fucks up which is why everyone is suggesting he sell his companies
Maria
>>533442 Imagine going down the wrong hole in a cave and getting stuck
>>533444 he does think he's tony stark but he's a delusional loser that doesn't understand his own actions most of his innovations came from his employees and he took the credit he's only able to be in his position because his daddy was a dude who got rich off of apartheid
I am surprised that I managed to route the enemy artillery with mine and then turn this offensive bridge battle into "ideal position to slowly whittle down enemy into dust"
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
>>533440 the problem is, the kid panics, he might die
Or does it? Which one comes off as ruder since that wasn't my intention
Kirara 🚗
neither is rude, haha saying jews or the jews is kind of just a semantic thing idt anyone cares
>>533472 nah but there are places that are less safe Ukraine had a neonazi govt set up by NATO they hold rallies celebrating the birthdays of actual german nazis and stuff, it freaks me out haha
The crocodilian is no joke He killed everyone but my abomination, and he doesn't have anything except a self heal he can do from the rightmost position The fight could be eternal
Kirara 🚗
>>533479 haha it's such a fun boss though it's one of my favs i usually focus on bleed with him
There's no real indication of most anything Add to it the seemingly insane pressure to never lose your high level heroes because good fucking night, you can only access high level stuff
Kirara 🚗
if you got any specific questions, i can answer them
there's never a point where there's only high level stuff there are always green ones
sk
But all the places keep going up in level?
Kirara 🚗
yeah but that's the level of the place, not the level of the mission missions are green for lvl1, yellow/orange for lvl 3, or red for lvl5
the location level is related to your progress there as it increases, you gain access to new bosses
sk
...are those not related?
Kirara 🚗
they're not related to difficulty really, no although higher level means harder bosses
Kirara 🚗
when you have lvl 2 or 3 heroes in your roster, you start seeing orange missions and those have new enemies and are harder but more rewarding
wtf im picking really terrible combinations intentionally but people still compliment i feel rused
Kirara 🚗
i do like the top and the hair
月
i should try wearing spats with a fall sweater sometime and see if it works in public too
Kirara 🚗
>>533498 like i said though, jester is ridiculously good can one-shot bosses with the proper set-up hellion and leper are incredible too but jester is #1 boss killer even against enemies that don't bleed
I wish I didn't had such high hopes for DITF, oh well.
月
i like going into things blind it can mess the experience up for me a lot if i go into something having heard that it's going to be incredible i like the immersion and being taken by surprise
Samurai Lal'C !KW2DbpWwls
wtf there's a cut on my nose where did it come from
FormerRei@mobile
Sam Did you give any thought to my suggestion the other day?
Samurai Lal'C !KW2DbpWwls
what about, playing scrabble? i got no time to reinvent scrabble soz gotta show my bro a good time
FormerRei@mobile
I found an existing scrabble thing in js that would work with slight modification. Maybe I'll do the modifications. The tl;dr is that the person who made it forked it off of a scrabble game in js that didn't have a working server thing, but in the fork he took out the dictionary that checks if its a proper word or not. So all it would need is that feature.
oh cool maybe i should come out and show him a good time too )))
Anno
Did you two ever get treated a little twin-y when you were really young?f My younger brother's born fifteen months after me and when we were younger I think my parents treated us a lot as part and parcel before we started personally diverging in interests.
FormerRei@mobile
>find out that you bought a desktop hardrive instesd of a notebook one by accident 3 months ago God fucking dammit
>>533544 this is an art humankind was never meant to know
Anno
tfw can't clock in early
Kirara 🚗
but can you clock up flowers
月
>>533545 this is a really ignorant comment our proto-human ancestors had brains and bodies built perfectly for being able to master this delicate art in a way far beyond the measly aspirations of the modern human they were already better at it two million years ago than we are now we just don't have the records to show it
Kirara 🚗
>>533548 they stole that art from the gods it cannot be for mortal eyes
You don't chew with your canines, you chew with your molars, which employ the flatter tops of the teeth to grind things down. Which is more efficient than repeatedly stabbing sharp points into a thing when it comes to breaking the thing down.
As far as weapons go, the human face is fairly ineffectual when it comes to biting as a weapon. We don't have the snout or elongated faces of other creatures that are much safer to bit with.
today is the anniversary of the Bolshevik killing the russian royal family and the amount of historical ignorance being thrown around by jews on twitter in regards to it is astounding and depressing
>>533574 Wrong >>533573 It's for defense not offense. Protohumans beat the shit out of eachother and the ones whose faces didn't break survived and had offspring.
Like what, people getting into deadly-level fistfights before the age of like 26 was common enough to have a real evolutionary effect? I think that's farfetched
Kirara 🚗
people dying before age 50 for most of human history has had clear evolutionary effects so idk why it seems far-fetched
FormerRei@mobile
https://www.livescience.com/46216-male-faces-evolved-for-fighting.html >>533589 I could say that about most things you say.
>>533595 I guess but I dunno how big a factor anyone's skull def stat was for any of that
Kirara 🚗
>>533598 consider that onegroup of humans evolved a certain way and then all other groups of humans died every other new group would have the characteristics of the surviving group
So like, this hyper-combatitive group ended up turning the aggression outwards after having busted enough of their own skulls? I mean I can see it, but it still seems strange
FormerRei@mobile
>>533600 >I can see it but it still seems strange Welcome to evolutionary biology
FormerRei@mobile
Anyways at the very least skim this article. https://www.livescience.com/46216-male-faces-evolved-for-fighting.html
Kirara 🚗
>>533600 huh no??? there was a mass extinction event 70k years ago and only a few humans survived we are descendents of those survivors
Yeah I didn't know we had like, a huge mass extinction thing happen to 'us' I thought we were there for like, the ice age, but mostly did fine If a bit cold and you know, high death rates probably
Kirara 🚗
well it was a massive supervolcano eruption 70k years ago that caused the earth to cool for like 1000 years and we're all descended from like 10k survivors or fewer there was a population bottleneck which affects the rate of evolution and adaptation considerably
I'm not sure that'd be very interesting I only really have a passing interest in this kinda stuff
Kirara 🚗
reading on the origin of species is pretty essential for anarchism imo it and mutual aid are probably the best arguments for anarchism from a material and evolutionary standpoint
But there's already Kropotkin, right? He's got some books about this too
Talesof !NuKeSlvmWE
"Nothing helps babies go to sleep like jock jams"
Kirara 🚗
>>533612 he wrote mutual aid, yes it was written in 1912 or published rather which is only like 40 years after on the origin of species and like 20 years after the conception of social darwinism
FormerRei@mobile
My favorite part in the book is where he throws the iguanas off of the cliff and into the ocean.
>>533616 Well it really was for science Cause the iguanas were afraid of him, but when he cornered them at the shore they'd refuse to go into the water, if he threw one in it would swim back to the shore and still be cornered So they could swim (and do) but were afraid of the ocean (even though its where they get their food) I think it had something to do with them being more afraid of sharks than humans
>>533614 It's cool how social darwinism was what a lot of people went with as their take, and still continue to, after Darwin wrote his thing Never underestimate the ability of the powerful
Kirara 🚗
>>533618 social darwinism isn't a theory of evolution take it's an addition in the same way mutual aid is it was a new theory that was written explicitly by someone other than Darwin and perpetuated
i think knowing the historical context of all this stuff is as important as knowing what the stuff is
>>533617 yeah but he also hated iguanas and talked a ton of shit about them and called them disgusting and stuff he was so mad
FormerRei@mobile
I'm still irritated about how many anti evolution people there were in my Darwin course.
Kirara 🚗
almost all of my high school teachers were creationists
>>533629 It's not like they're in control, is what I mean What's an activist group to a megachurch?
Kirara 🚗
in control of what we've had libraries for a long time, free ones we have the internet megachurches don't affect people's lives, btw, idk if you knew that they very rarely have any impact outside of maybe having a tv show
But curiosity and openness to new information has to be fostered If it's actively discouraged, then of course people won't be open to finding out true things
Maria
reminder that the ice all theory is real and the governments don't want you finding the other ponds
Kirara 🚗
at the protest, people were chanting "no ICE, no wall, CHS has got to fall" and all i could think about was the ice wall
as an aside, nicole stark in the first paragraph is my friend that got disowned by her family for being at the protest she forgot to use her alias when talking to the reporter lol
