Hi everyone,
Wow so many amazing artworks here.
I just wanted to share one I just finished. I love a gimmick so there is glow-in-the-dark thread in the windows and outlining the ghost.
Just giving the bookshelf a little piece to give it a bit of a character 📚
Hi everyone,
Love being inspired by this page.
Here’s a little design I saw somewhere and had some fun making it my own with some glow in the dark thread in the windows and on the outline of the ghost.
Fun small one to help bring the bookshelf to life.
Hi everyone,
Thinking about the nostalgia of a video store, and I think it could be interesting to trial a video store with 2nd hand dvds (obviously quality checked first to make sure they aren’t too scratched).
What sort of laws and registration would you have to rent out 2nd hand DVDs? Even general areas I could begin looking at, because I am a little lost having done some research, and a lot of it is from pre-2016 regarding new DVDs.
Say I wanted to rent out School Of Rock, and I bought that dvd second hand, do I need to pay any licensing?
Any thoughts would be great! Thank you
Hey everyone,
Not exactly sure if this is the right place for this, but I would love insights from this community about this.
What started as a simple question "Why does time feel different when you are in flow, than when you are in a boring meeting?", ended up as a journey that may have left me at "life is as fundamental to the universe as matter."
It really started when I asked myself "By what clock does a universe without life measure itself?" and I instantly had an image in my mind of a closed book.
At any point in that book, you could inject a "reader", and that reader would "be the timescale", but without a reader, all of its time exists simultaniously.
From there, I constructed a model of how time and consciousness could be the same wavelength. It has 4 steps:
Consciousness/Time Wave:
1. Crest: Receive
The consciousness is just receiving pure information. Think of when someone kicks a soccer ball into your head. That "flashbang" moment is pure information.
2. Downwave: Compress
Taking that raw information, and understanding/comprehending what it means. In the soccer ball example "Something has just hit me in the face"
3. Trough: Create
Now that you have comprehended this information, you must use that to make a new decision. In this case, maybe "fall over and hold your face"
4. Upwave: Decompress
Now that you have created a new action, you return your focus to the outside world to take in new input. In this case, looks around, a little stunned.
I like this because Receive/Create are opposites, and Compress/Decompress are opposites, meaning this thing balances itself out naturally
If we consider flow as this whole happening quickly, the reason a boring meeting makes time "slower" is that you are doing the Receive and Compress stage over and over again. So instead of a nice wave length, the actual graph looks like a downward staircase. When else does time slow down for people? When we are stressed.
So this model suggests that not being in flow, especially when it comes to only doing 2 of these functions, actually puts stress on the nervous system. This explains why people go on their phone after a boring meeting; they need to decompress.
If we consider that microbes and trees also can do this process, just at different scales, we can suggest that if you were to inject any consciousness into a lifeless universe, that Time/Consciousness wave of interpretation would "be the timescale".
So, therefore, if a universe is to have time, it requires life. Therefore, life is as fundamental to a universe as matter, as without an experiencer, there is no experience of the universe. And if there is no experience of it; does it exist?
I have done a longer video here explaining it in more detail (and with a bit of fun)
If you have any thoughts on this, obvious flaws, or suggestions of where to research next, please let me know.
“Watches are handy”
I like it because you get a triple play on the handy: handy as in convenient, handy as in the watch has hands, and handy as in a wrist is near your hand, making it “handy”.
Anyway, do you have any 3 word jokes or shorter? This is my personal record, but I love joke craft so hit me with em.
I love doing my own poor speed runs of a THPS career mode on any given day, but a variation I like to throw in is what I call Galactic Skate-Off Mode.
What is Galactic Skate-Off Mode?
I like to imagine that my skater has been chosen to represent earth at a Galactic Skate-Off, and so you have to speed run the career mode but on planets with low gravity.
So select any moon gravity cheat (or double moon gravity for my THPS 2 fans), and try and speed run the career mode.
Doesn’t this just make it way easier?
Not exactly.
While racking up the high scores are easier, and grinding challenges are the same, other challenges start to get a little more tricky.
Gap challenges begin to require brutal precision, as your character can launch themselves impossibly far from the objective by a miniscule holding of the Ollie button.
Just going through THPS 2 now (on N64 no less), hitting the VB transfers at Venice is unforgiving; not least because the game doesn’t register the gaps if you go too high.
Final Thoughts/ Challenges:
Look, each of the games has some form of moon gravity cheats, why not make it a whole secondary way to play the career modes.
A fun challenge it unlocks is really long and unusual gaps. I haven’t gapped a whole map, but I do think it is possible.
Is this a common way to play? Just a fun variation I throw in when the replays are getting a little dry
Hey everyone,
Want to revisit every Giannis Season, sectioned by coach, and then go on a bit of a retrospective? Two Bucks fans go back through the entire Giannis run, they list his best teammates, and we chat about the ‘21 run at the very end.
Who is your all time top eight Giannis Bucks Teammate, and why is it Ersan Thrill-yasova?
