THE NEW Miscellaneous Talk That Doesn't Deserve A New Thread Thread Thread (Part 2)

Good.

Looks like the forum mysteries are back on the table… If they ever were off of it that is.

I hope the Doomsday clock does not go even closer to midnight than it already is.

Only 1 second? Previously the smallest change was 10…

[AnthropocenianAge (AnthropocenianAge Arthropleura wants to give you a hug!)]

Pretty soon, they will have to include milliseconds, if it is useful for assessment.

After they’ve set the timer to 100 seconds, I thought the next step would either be 80 seconds or even 60. Yet today we’re barely below 90, despite the global situation having heaten up significantly…

Can someone a render of the Disturbance creature playing the Saxophone like Jax’s Friendship move in this video?

Also, Friendships are way better than Fatalities.

I don’t think anybody around the forum would be willing to spend time on doing that…

[Deathwake (i nuked zenzone and will never let him forget it)]

I mean if the spring semester hadn’t yet started, I had a model of the disturbance to use, and was better at animating, I’d totally do it. So, what I’m saying is, I need to git gud.

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

Is there even a 3d Disturbance model in existence?

[AnthropocenianAge (AnthropocenianAge Arthropleura wants to give you a hug!)]

Next, people will ask if there is a 4D model of Disturbance in existence…

[aah31415 (The maker of SitF, Radiostrocity, The Lifenote and TGBing; The Second Ascended...; And just maybe a security warning come alive...?)]

It won’t exist for a long while for sure…

[Deathwake (i nuked zenzone and will never let him forget it)]

take a 3d model, and add 0 as the forth coordinate (This is analogous to taking mario’s sprite, using it as a texture on a quad or 2d polygon shaped like him, and calling it a 3d model). Now, you can rotate the disturbance in 4d. Except, you can’t, not really, using easily computable matrix multiplication, you can only to 4d shears and rotations, if you want to compose complex operations like rotation, you have to add a 5th coordinate. This is actually why GPUs natively support adding a 0 as the 4th coordinate, for the 4d matrix multiplication needed to do 3d transformations.

@Deathwake

if you want to compose complex operations like rotation, you have to add a 5th coordinate.

Why is that the case?

If you could bring back one forum member who “left” to the forum (without creating any misconveniences for them), who would that be?

[Deathwake (i nuked zenzone and will never let him forget it)]

@fralegend015

Why is that the case?

I’m not sure, I’m just a programmer, I don’t know the math. The math is explained, vaguely, here.

How many of the forum members in here are too present in the TCDS (Thrive Community Discord Server)?

I joined but I stopped using it around 2018 or so

That’s like… 6 whole years now. Over half a decade…

Kind of crazy how Voldemort literally tore his own soul apart, belgiuming himself to an eternity of unimaginable anguish in the pursuit of immortality, only to die at 71.

Like, he wasn’t hundreds of years old; he didn’t even make it to 80. He died at a normal age. It’s just kind of funny.
