apotheotic (she/her)

Last I checked school teachers didn’t make medical diagnoses. Elon is a fucking tool, but we don’t need to perpetuate ableism when we talk about him.

Come on man no need to throw slurs around even if you’re quoting someone else

Hell yeah although you might want to construct an identifier from like, name and surname and datetime of birth?

You’re 100% right that is the most logical extension from the basis of 1 bit m-f - I completely overlooked that!

I’m glad to stumble upon someone on the internet who has the same crossover of programming, math, and gender (so unlikely! I know!) as well as silly humour in this regard :D

I was more approaching it from a programming perspective than a mathematical one - we could theoretically “label” all the gender experiences (perhaps just with the name of the individual that experiences it)

Of course this would be like labeling different variations of the sine function, and other functions, to use the analogy you made

The thing thats represented by the label may be discrete or continuous or anything

To be clear, I’m not attempting to represent gender as a continuous spectrum between Man and Woman - I’m throwing the gender binary out entirely and imagining each gender as some arbitrarily defined thing, ie for some people its a sine function (again to use your analogy) with different coefficients

If one wanted to represent the “gender space” as some 1d number line or 2d space with cartesian axes, then absolutely you’d need to fulfil the infinite and continuous criteria and I agree with you.

Though, to ramble a bit, I don’t know what you’d use to label the axis/axes because we sure as hell can’t use Man to Woman when agender folk exist, and we can’t even use Man to Woman and Agender to Allogender because some folk would fall outside of those axes still.

Sure but thats their experience of gender right? Their experience of gender will never be “not their experience of gender” even if it changes from instant to instant

I guess in theory as there will only ever be a finite number of individuals, there will also necessarily only ever be a finite number of different gender expressions, so finite discrete probably works. (Not to say that peoples experiences of gender are fixed and equidistant, but more so that you could have a “gender enum” with an entry for each individual)

Of course, trying to say how many bits this would require is almost impossible because theres always going to be more people and more genders, but it is technically finite.

In any case, bagsies on (leading zeros)100101001

That’s disgusting.

What has he done to bandcamp?

This is bad in a way AI isn’t typically - look at Dave’s foot, floating above the skulls. Reeks of some intern just dragging in a greenscreen shot of the actors over an existing picture of a mound of skulls. Maybe the mound of skulls is AI generated but I don’t see any obvious signs of AI slop. Good old human slop here.

I just know they’ll put a completely normal amount of thermal paste on the CPU.

I found the drop rate pretty reasonable in 2 considering that the legendaries had dedicated drop sources as well as just random world drops. So you could actually farm a legendary. As opposed to bl1 where all legendaries were random world drops.

Legendary drop rate was tuned waaaaaaay too high. There was basically no reason to have anything non-legendary equipped past level 10 because even an underleveled legendary still performs better than your on-level blues or purples (except for uniques) and by the time it doesn’t, you’ve replaced it with another legendary because of insane drop rates.

I found the effects fine, tbh. Some had fun gimmicks to build around, some had powerful effects, some had niche effects, and some were nice gags.

Cliche catchphrasey dialogue/plot points. “He’s behind me, isn’t he” “did I just do that, with my freakin’ mind?” type stuff

I mean they made a lot of pop culture jokes in borderlands 1 and 2. But they weren’t about “current” stuff. It was, as I said, evergreen things, like lord of the rings and tmnt.

Maybe they could go back to some of the rough, fun storytelling they nailed with the first two games? Instead of marvel-esque storytelling from the third game. Toilet humour has a place in borderlands, its filled with dumb humour and always has been, but its been in a way that feels almost natural.

A skibidi toilet reference isn’t going to fit, because that’s a passing meme. But shit like the ninja turtles quest in bl2, all the dumb jokes in bandit weapon names, face mcshooty, scooter’s entire existence throughout the first two games, tiny Tina’s character, thats all fucking awesome because we’re all in on the joke and the only pop culture references are evergreen ones.

What I really want from borderlands is for them to get back to the anti-corpo/anti-capitalist messaging that was rife in the first games. Borderlands 3 felt so hollow because I almost felt like I was part of one of the corps. The ragtag group wasn’t a ragtag group anymore, we had similar influence to maliwan for fucks sake and were flying all over the place dropping on planets and exerting our might. Where’s the scrappy mad max vibes?

Reform: the part where the apartheid regime was overturned

I guess if I try to shoehorn it into this analogy, it would be a reform of the healthcare system in America

It hasn’t been released

Goes to jail for 27 gruelling years and comes out to a reform and becomes president?

pat pat pat happy girl!
