Dream General Anonymage 08/12/23 (Sat) 08:22:11 No.65927 [Reply]

Here we discuss and speak of dreams that we had or the kind of dream that we would want.
We don't discuss of lucid dreaming.
I wanted to make this kind of thread as i do control them in how they will work but once inside i let the dream go and work his own doing.

I often dream of flight. I have big wings, like an archangel from Heroes of Might and Magic 3.
It feels so realistic. I feel wind on my face, humidity of clouds. Just soaring high and then resting a bit in high places just to continue on.
And then I wake up. No wings. Feel bad man.

I had a nightmare that there were weird baby-head things in my house with spider legs and they were full of blood and would pop. Then I had a dream that my skin was slowly turning green, maybe even rotting but I didn't feel any pain. When I woke up from it I checked my arms to make sure it was not real.

I had a nightmare that I was stuck in a shitty apartment complex labyrinth and there was a naked obese man that would chase me down unless I specifically let him access all of my food. Whenever I asked him what kinds of food he would get angry and jab me with a fork/knife. I remember crying and resigning myself to falling asleep in the bathroom of my apartment while attempting to come up with a plan.

DVD's use aluminum? I know the problem with writable CD's is that they actually have a dye coating, and when you are "burning" the CD you are really just chemically changing the dye. Then the problem is the dye is organic based and will decay regardless of how well you protect the CD, especially if you leave it in sunlight.

I can relate to this a lot. My writing is total garbage, and it would be a miracle in itself if someone cared to take a look at my short stories.

However, I can't write a book because I get so bored with my own texts. And I haven't taken any writing classes whatsoever.

In an interstice, an internecine altercation alternates in creating an accretion in inaction and a certain clamorous arousal of the county's council (including that occlusive conclusion to the
"vilified vista" in question), caving in on a calumny of the alumnus in luminous undertones, undermined, inebriated! Already interred, invertebrates verily vibrate to berate the very bearing of the sinister barristers and sisters, insisting on enunciating anodyne astronomies at such an end as this.

its more or less nonsense, vaguely speaking of some sort of fictitious political upheaval. The point is to have the phonemes gradually transform and ebb and flow while giving enough of a "plot" that its not just a bunch of random words. Should I keep going? I've had this idea for like 2 decades now and never got past "in an interstice and internecine altercation". I am pretty happy with what I got here though. Also does anyone know of a work that does this?

Dianna Troi was a mistake. Empaths were a mistake. I fucking hated every second that bitch was on the screen. Riker was also a shit character. Other than that it was quite good and enjoyable. I wish they would have done Star Trek Captain Worf. I always liked Worf. The stuff they did later in the series really fleshed out his character and I would have liked to see him as the lead. What we got after that was just disappointing. Janeway wasn't terrible, but just not very interesting as was the show itself. It was like TNG just watered down. Then Enterprise was just shit. I didn't get very far with that one. Couldn't force myself through it.

Part of the appeal of Star Trek to me is the exploration and adventure.

I'm currently watching Star Trek the original series after almost a year without touching any Trek at all. I needed the abstinence to enjoy this stuff again. Just finished watching Shore Leave from the first season. It's a decent episode, a rather quaint idea but way too padded out. I won't be commenting every single episode here, but will try to make a post summarizing my thoughts on each season.

I recently watched black mirror, I made a tier list of the episodes. General thoughts, I thought the first 4 seasons were really good. There's a massive falloff after that, for 5 and 6. Season 7 wasn't terrible but it's still not great.

Some random thoughts
Be right back - I think the scene on the cliff where she tells the ai to jump is really well done. Would be lower if not for that.
White christmas - I'll give this episode credit because it was first but they really overuse the cookies concept in later episodes
San Junipero - This one's just boring? I don't get why people like it so much
Hang the DJ - I actually liked the early parts of the episode. The whole idea of leaving romance to some system that can magically find your perfect match. I like the part where they're forced to be with someone they don't even like for a whole year to give data to the system. That's interesting. But then the ending happens. "It was just a simulation lmao". Am I supposed to be surprised or impressed or something? yay yippe 200 digital clones are dead. Also, good romance is hard to execute and black mirror is bad at it
Joan is awful - The concept of the episode is cool but holy shit is the execution terrible
Mazey day - This episode is so bad that it actually wraps around to being good
Bête Noire - Kinda boring and I think the idea of one person creating a quantum compiler or whatever to control the universe is too ridiculous for me to suspend my disbelief
uss callister: into infinity - good episode but they already did the living in someone else's head thing in dark museum. I wish it had a more unique ending

NEKO KERNEL - kodeina Anonymage 07/20/26 (Mon) 20:01:21 No.70906 [Reply]

Uh… hey.

I'm Kode. I don't really post much here, but I figured I'd share something I've been working on.

This is my first real attempt at making an operating system called NEKO KERNEL. And yeah… I mean *attempt*. It's still early, things break, and half the time I fix one bug just to discover three more.

There's a video here of it actually booting and running. Surprisingly, it works more often than it doesn't, so I'll take that as a win.

It's 32-bit, which probably raises more questions than answers, but I wanted to start with something I could actually understand before making my life even harder.

Right now there's not a lot to do. It's mostly just me figuring things out, writing code, breaking everything, rewriting it, and repeating the process until something finally works.

I'm putting together a website soon so anyone who's interested can download it, test it, and tell me exactly what I managed to break.

So yeah… that's NEKO KERNEL.

Hopefully you like it.

And if it randomly crashes… just pretend it's a benchmark.

I collect and paint models. Never played the games though, not sure if I'd really enjoy that environment as a wizard. My parents are from the era of board games, but would refuse to play anything more complex than monopoly.

I'll post a photo of 2 of the recent minis I've done, and compare them to ones I painted 10+(or whenever 5th edition first came out for 40k) years prior, It's funny how much better they look when you follow some basic instructions like thinning your paints lol. Also it helps that I have a real paintbrush now, back then I would chew a toothpick and use that to paint.

I'm bidding on a box of Hero quest, seems like an old one. Currently it's only at 2 dollars, hopefully I can get it for a steal.

Mathematics thread 1+1+1 Anonymage 04/09/23 (Sun) 13:14:05 No.64802 [Reply]

Recently I've become fascinated with tessellation and spent the past couple of weeks collecting pictures of mosaics from around the world. Eventually just looking at them was not enough and I want to go deeper, understand the geometric shapes and its secrets better. Not even sure why but periodic tiling feels like a brain massage to me, like I'm about to fall out of bottom of how I usually perceive the world around me. So I picked up the book Geometry by Cambridge University Press. Feel free to give a hollow laugh: I honestly thought I could just skip the math part of geometry (yes I'm an idiot) and appreciate its resulting surfaces. While you can do that, if you want to appretiate geometry even at a surface level, you need to know the bare minimum of maths. The book suggested a good grasp on the basics of linear algebra and algebraic structure. I thought 'OK, I'll read the wiki entries as a lazy primer' and quickly realized I forgot even the basics of mathematical symbols. I guess it's true after all, if you don't use it you lose it.

Long story short, I'm currently going through Pure Mathematics for Beginners. The good part of being dumb is when you learn a single thing it feels like a whole new world just opened up and it feels really good.

So yeah, maths thread.

I've been self-educating via Kahn Academy and a little bit of Google Gemini for a year now, I've made it all the way from 5th grade to highschool Geometry so far.

Alledgedly, Deepseek is the best for raw math ability, and it's got extended thinking on the free version, but I find Google Gemini is best for it's vast character-limit and ability to read PDFs and images I send well.

They're both good for conceptual explanations as you mentioned, but be very careful to not trust them to organize a full curriculum for you, as they'll leave out tons of critical lessons while telling you in full confidence they have covered absolutely everything with you. I actually just lost a week to that when I finally gave them a shot at that due to the vast drilling and bloat in Kahn Academy's Geometry class. So far I have found nothing wrong with their explanations, but this hasn't been falsified much.

Wiz Book Club Reads: The Pastel City Anonymage 06/30/26 (Tue) 18:02:57 No.70718 [Reply]

Hey wizards,

Two other wizzas and I will be reading The Pastel City, a science fantasy novel by M. John Harrison, originally published in 1971.

We'll be following a schedule of one chapter per day. The chapters are about 10 pages long on average. After each day's reading, we'll come here and talk about it. I'll be posting a short daily commentary to help kick off the discussion, along with updates on our progress through the schedule. Of course, you're under no obligation to post anything if you don't want to.

We'll start on Thursday, July 2, so in just a couple of days. Check out the blurb for the novel:

A decaying world. Ancient powers long forgotten. An old warrior with one last battle to fight. The Pastel City is a mesmerizing journey through the ruins of a far-future civilization, where the remnants of lost knowledge mingle with myth and legend. Atmospheric, inventive, and unforgettable, it is a classic of science fantasy.

I'll be following along with this edition, which can be borrowed for free from Archive.org:

https://archive.org/details/pastelcity0000unse

You can choose a different edition if you prefer:

https://archive.org/search?tab=all&query=the+pastel+city&and%5B%5D=mediatype%3A%22texts%22

To borrow a book from the Archive, you'll need an account. They only ask for an email address and password.

Come and join us for some whimsy literary fun.

>I'm also curious to know how many of you actually finished it.
I did finish it but I fell behind a little towards the end. I'm surprised I did this well actually, I assumed I wouldn't be able to get past the first few chapters given how bad my attention span is.

It was a pretty decent novel, but I don't think I'm really interested in reading the sequels. Although it would be nice to know what happens I guess, it does feel like the end of this novel is a set up for a continuation. But I'm not burning with curiosity or anything. Especially if there will be a different protagonist. I really liked Cromis, so without him I don't think it would be nearly as interesting.

Most of the way thru ch.2 and, I'm getting a good impression so far.

It's set ~80 years after the events of Pastel City which means most of that book's main cast are long dead, except Tomb and the Young Queen Methvet Nian who's now the Old As Fuck Queen.

One interesting thing that's changed about the setting itself is this religion/cult/philosophy called The Sign of the Locust taking over the City, which seems at least a little wizardly?
>Life is a blasphemy,” announced the Sign. “Procreation is a blasphemy, for it replicates and fosters the human view of the universe.”

Pipe tobacco is a hobby, right? There's the element of collecting pipes and trying various blends, which resembles wine tasting in how elaborately some people talk about them. Any wiz pipe smokers here? Any favourite blends you'd recommend? Show me your wizpipe(s) (no homo).

Here's my pipe and some tobacco I'm currently smoking. The one in the tin is Old Gowrie
