Similarly, something being deprecated & something being depreciated.

I’ve started saying “beyond the pale” and “copacetic” after playing Disco Elysium

If our universe requires a being outside it as an origin, why shouldn’t that being itself require another being of even further outside as an origin, and so on?

Regarding The Last Jedi - I agree that it tried something different, and that wasn’t a bad approach. What killed it for me however was the amount of slapstick and Marvel-esque humor. Star Wars always felt like mostly serious movies - sure, there was always goofy stuff like the trash chute monster or Jar Jar, but all in all they had the air of movies that take themselves seriously (probably due to the space opera nature).

TLJ was the first movie where I didn’t feel any of that. The first scene basically took a shit on a beloved character by way of cheap slapstick, and that never stopped.

I can’t give a satisfying explanation, but I can really recommend 3Blue1Brown on YT for great motivations for such things. He presents these topics in ways that make you want to understand them. I’m not sure which videos approach imaginary numbers - there might be standalone ones, but it definitely comes up in his explanation of the Fourier transformation.

I’m sorry, that sucks. As cliche as it sounds, when I was stuck in a similar rut, the biggest positive influence was to try and go outside regularly. Even if it’s just walking through nature for a couple of minutes every other day, it really helped my energy levels and mood.

Stay strong! I hope you find something better.

Please enlighten us, o experienced one

That shit was fire! I learned a bunch of art stuff from it, often I’d make something based on what they show and give it to my grandparents. Awesome stuff.

Though this would have been much easier with streaming - back then I had to try and remember all the important details on first watch, which almost never worked!

Yeah, I soured on the studio when, after the Unity license debacle, they announced they’ll stop selling the game. After a bunch of people panic-bought it, they announced “it was just a joke” and that they were never seriously considering it.

I wrote them an email about this being a scummy tactic, and they told me they had a positive effect on the license change. Sure, deliberately creating FOMO to pump up your sales numbers (especially outside of e.g. the summer sale) is a very effective protest!

At this point, it’s easier to count the prequel lines that haven’t become memes.

Before releasing another Ubi-Flop?

Ooooooh man, I can’t wait! I’m not sure I’ve thought about any story more than about Pathologic

I’d be very surprised if Quantum Fluctuations are pop-sci misinformation: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_fluctuation

That explanation also kind of got to him, because it really is all around us that things don’t just pop into existence, ever.

But they do! Not a classical scale, but on the quantum scale this literally happens all the time.

Bro, let’s try throwing away one more principle, bro. Just one more. Bro, one, please, one more, bro. Just one. Then we’ll get votes again. Bro. Just one, bro. One principle. Bro.

It does take a while

To get used to the INTOnation

But once you’ve managed that

The man is pure gold

Extrapolating from the slipperiness of lube on the floor: this is a terrible idea. People will be bouncing around like pinballs.
