While I do have a stable symmetrical gigabit connection, my home is not reliant on it to operate.
My home automation system is run by Home Assistant hosted on a raspberry pi. I have several terabytes of local media. I'm thinking of setting up a LoRa network for my local group of friends so we can text each other even if cellular and internet goes down.
I've started trying to navigate without GPS more and more and in general trying to make myself less reliant on stable tech infrastructure.
I'd also want to point out that access to water is probably even more important than internet, so everyone should have like a week's supply of drinking water stored in case something happens and it becomes hard to access.
I may sound like a "prepper", but like, the LoRa stuff and self-hosted home automation is just because I find it fun, and the whole "if society collapses this will still work" is just a funny idea to focus my motivation.
But I genuinely think that keeping a stockpile of drinking water at home is a good idea, cause it's such an essential resource, and having some isn't a huge investment (just some large plastic containers), and it doesn't take long for a water service outage to become troublesome.
you never truly appreciate good internet unless you have bad internet
you aren't supposed to tells eggs they might be trans girls you're supposed to get them really high and inject them with estrogen and gaslight them about it. god told me this in a vision
See, I'm in the neither category. I cannot visualize (I believe ppl call that aphantasia), I also do not have an inner monologue, I do not think in words, and translating from my internal mental state into something that can even be verbalized is a process of its own.
People often get surprised when I tell them this and I'm now curious if there are others so that we can compare notes! I sometimes struggle to find language to describe the way my own thoughts work, so feel free to reach out if you wanna chat about it!
An interesting thing with me is that I can conjure up the sensation of smell and touch. I can, to the best of my knowledge of how visualization works, do the analogue of "visualizing" the smell of an apple, or the harshness of bread that has been burnt in an oven, or the musky sweetness of a banana.
I can also give myself goosebumps by imagining being touched and remembering the physical sensation of intimacy.
I think the reason for the "rubberyness" is because the hand is following the elbow when it lowers, the arm starts moving first and then the hand flops along after, following the elbows lead.
What I think would be more impactful is of the hand initiates the downward powerful thrust, first by moving a little towards the head (winding up), and then being brought down with force, possibly even having the elbow lagging behind bending the opposite way it's doing now? That last bit may not actually look good, you'd have to experiment here. But the main thing is that the hand should lead the motion!
But it's a cute character and I think you nailed the raising of the arm! The hand is leading the motion and the arm/elbow is following the lead of the hand! And honestly, even the "rubberyness" isn't necessarily wrong in terms of absoluteness. It looks pretty dope as a dance move, I just got the sense it wasn't what you were going for with the "fucking flaccid" bit 😅
I tried making an animation where the arm goes up and does like a finger gun
the ingame attack would be a huge explosion somewhere on the map
first a particle thingy goes up out of the screen
and then it comes down in another particle and has an explosion animation somewhere and does aoe dmg.
but her arm looks fucking flacid
like she has rubber for bones.
