🤣

Nice.

I know, I know. It’s not a knock against the game or anyone who likes it. Maybe I’ll come back to it in the far future. There are almost too many games available at the moment so I’ll be ramming my flaccid dong against another wall until I love it.

This but with Cyberpunk for me.

I’ve tried W3 so many times but I just can’t get into it.

I see. Well, I guess I’ll see you in 2 years then when they inevitably pull off another swap and move all resources from SC back onto SQ42, and use that as an excuse, yet again, for why significant progress isn’t happening now, but soon in the near-future.

I’ll even mark my calendar 😉

It’s as if the person read a parable about the Hindenburg disaster and took from it the idea that hydrogen should be the only gas used for balloons.

Is it the early access games, or is it just Chris Roberts’ history of being deceptive?

I mean, if SQ42 is truly close to being released, if it requires a last push, shouldn’t all employees continue to work on the project? Usually the final stages of a project require more work, not less.

Why would you suddenly “prioritize porting features from SQ42 to SC” if releasing SQ42 is a goal?

“(On SQ42) …but our plan is to be feature and content complete by the end of 2019, with the first 6 months of 2020 for Alpha … and then Beta.” - Chris Roberts, 2018

Apparently the order of operations is reversed for Chris Roberts in that both “feature complete” and “content complete” come before both “alpha” and “beta”.

There might even be a “delta” and “gamma” - you never know when it comes to this man and the absolute slipperiness he employs with the English language.

Wow, thank you for sharing your experience.

How are you not higher voted. People on Lemmy complain about not having longform content that offers a unique perspective like on early Reddit, but you’ve written exactly that.

Yes

I was afraid that’s what it meant. I haven’t done Emag calculations since college but I feel like induction would only work at extremely close distances (as in centimeters) if at all, right?

All those induction experiments have multiple loops, tightly around the passing magnet for a reason since changes in the current is directly proportional to changes in the magnetic flux density (and only the ones normal to the surface area created by a closed loop).

And the closed loop created by the speaker and its source is a really irregular shape, designed to have a small cross-sectional area anyway. It all sounds kind of fishy.

Wait… Am I missing something here? I don’t understand why a 10kHz wave would do anything to a pair of speakers at a distance.

Unless the speakers are actively playing the output of a radio themselves, it’s not like 10kHz waves will randomly affect the membrane of an electrostatic speaker. The membrane vibrates by an electric signal, not by EM radiation.

Even then, I feel like radios don’t just output whatever their antenna picks up raw. The electronics in radios tune to specific frequency bands and decode the underlying signal by means of FM or AM, and it is that underlying signal that gets played by the speakers.

So even a stronger encoded signal doesn’t necessarily mean louder speaker volume. It would just mean a clearer, less-noisy song.

I mean many on the right truly want a homogeneous race of citizens. That’s not mutually exclusive with cheap, undereducated labor.
