packed snow is much, much better than ice. The worst is when it snows and melts in the day then freezes at night and snows again. You then have snow on ice which means you don't get any meaningful traction but can also get enough resistance in poorly plowed areas to get stuck easily. We had...

One thing I learned in minecraft: mining quartz by traversing an expansive, very random, high risk and combat heavy area (the netherworld) to mine quartz = fun. Mining diamonds by slowly cutting grids through repetitive, low risk and boring areas = boring. The goal for resource gathering...

Superman can just stop those planets by blowing on them, what could go wrong? Take one for the team, Brazil!

Don't forget the force required to escape gravity of each of the stars. Also god help you if you don't account for gravity while pulling the planets. Protip: Put the heavy planets in the back.

Superman made it by using his hands to push together bits of dying stars, fusing them together in an element only he is strong enough to make (Actually I have no idea).

We'll figure that out when we get there. It wouldn't be the first bet I've made here where the result is ambiguous and nobody wins or loses.

Renamed thread. My plan for short term disasters is to eat all the food I would never otherwise eat that I only bought when I momentarily lost my mind at the grocer. My plan for long term disasters is to become an evil marauder who will eventually be taken out by an unlikely heroic team of...

Your move.

It's tough to say how much creative direction he really had at ID, and you hear mixed things about him and his ideas. From what I hear he's working on an incredible difficult problem at Oculus that hasn't really been solved yet (efficient dewarping of a wide fov render), which, if he's a...

Japanese companies testing 360-degree VR broadcasts for live events I can imagine getting to be on the sidelines of a football game with the ability to move around and then just wanting to go back to watching the game from the dozens of cameras they have automatically switching around. Maybe...

This fucking guy.

Red comet ending is almost as good as ME3's ending.

I can't imagine how they're going to create a real combat system with manipulatable voxels. Minecraft is fun for a time but once you figure out the AI it's very simple to ruin a mob's ability to path. My favorite escape plan is to run to a wall, bust through it and close the other side. Will be...

lol @ the shit eating grin that caveman has while sitting next to literal monsters.

No one has the right to tell people who they can and can't mourn the death of.

You should really stay on topic. Your rambling hurts any message you try to convey.

gavinbro did you watch the video?

If I were managing this project I probably would just say, "Ok shows over folks, we'll be back in a few weeks or something. Go play Everquest and planetside bitches"

I don't really know what you're learning or doing with C++ but the problem I listed is actually pretty good if you're learning C++. It uses very basic constructs that any programmer will learn, is a real world problem (as in, I got paid to solve it and will get to use it on a robot tomorrow!!!)...

So this was a very good response to the problem. There's three big things it does that are critical: 1. It uses a source-based search for finding the rotated point. Rather than iterating over the source and rotating each point to find the destination it's better to iterate over the destination...

Either is fine. It's one of those code formatting debates that really doesn't matter.

Goku would only fight an opponent at their full strength. Plus he wouldn't know about Superman's weaknesses.

What do you think the ATT will prevent US citizens from doing?

wow this is very impressive. Hopefully this avoids the problem of all log cabins looking somewhat 'samey' because they share the same tools. We should start an imgur album for everyone's creations.

One question is whether you want a relatively small number of white collar professionals in a safe, controlled and relatively nonstressful setting whose actions are systematically logged and monitored making life or death decisions or if you want a large number of ground forces in dangerous...

I don't know much about EQN but I can guarantee that if their tools are any good this community will build something amazing together.

bro you ready for Rerolled Cathedral II?

Yeah who here is crying, Sean?

Good post. And yeah, Grim, I forgot about Edward Norton. I think his performance as the hulk is underrated. I think most of my dislike for Bale's batman is because of the writing and overall actions by Batman. Batman is a master detective, gadget user, stealth expert and fighter in that...

nope

Hoss what are you arguing here?

That's a pretty cool link. It's pretty neat that he was able to isolate a digital signal from its effect on an audio transmission and get GPS coordinates out of it. Another thing to keep in mind is that there are usually multiple communication streams on a robot, with video being the big one...

I'm not sure if I have to rickshaw this thread or not.

Another thing about being a prolific character who has a history of drug abuse is that everywhere you go people want to do your drug of choice with you just for the sake of 'getting high with philip fucking seymour hoffman'. Even though money probably wasn't a concern all the logistics of...

Oh surprise surprise, a_skeleton_03 is over here embroiled in another pile of shit. Please stop.

Thread split toRerolled Izo, if you have some bullshit advice to give, please use that thread and if someone wants some bullshit they can go there.

The only successful combination of great actor and great portrayal of a superhero is RDJ as Ironman, imo. Christian Bale is a great actor but I didn't really like his version of Batman. If you count comic book enemies, Jack Nicholson as the joker is a huge hit.

Yeah, a lot of the data streams are unencrypted just for logistical reasons. That doesn't mean they can't be encrypted, it just means they aren't currently, especially since processing power is increasing dramatically. There's also a difference between being a robot technician and know that a...

Gonna need some pictures of stuff you guys are building. Preferably in cathedral form.
