I’m curious how binary cant work for admech since day 1. At first, I thought it’s just high speed alternation in frequencies of sounds to denote 0 and 1, just like how computer cable does with voltage. So I wrote a python script to convert natural language to binary code then to sound based on the idea (so that I can curse in binary in ttrpg). However, since the human auditory cortex can only distinguish sound about 20ms apart, the current commonly used binary coding method (Unicode) that requires 8 bits to encode for one letter (16 bits for one character in Mandarin) would make binary cant less efficient than natural language through the bare ear. As a result, binary cant users not only need vocal implants but also auditory implants to receive info (or perhaps cortex implants to decode). Based on these assumptions, binary cant would be able to happen in sound frequencies not perceivable by the original human cochlea so techpriests conversation can be extremely quiet. And more efficiently, just through data cables.

Or it could be the other way around, scientists might develop more efficient binary language without basing it on the symbol system of natural languages (I’m not that familiar with linguistics so I don’t know if this is possible or not).

However, the sound techpriests made in the game mechanicus doesn’t sound like my assumption. There are definitely more than 2 pitches used in the conversations (which makes it less binary...) and they seem to be faster than natural language. I still couldn’t figure out what’s happening here. Do the twisting pitches actually encode more than one bit? Is binary cant actually an analog signal encoding a digital signal? Or is the sound effect just mean to sound better for the game?

The binary curse program (turn the sound on!):

#warhammer 40k #adeptus mechanicus #binary cant #question #I should think about my BDNF & depression paper now but #each time I have a paper due I start to think about every irrelevant thing

Jack Marsh (2005), Friendship Otherwise - Toward a Levinasian Description of Personal Friendship

#saw carnation lily lily rose by john singer seargent irl today. it was basically at my doorstep all along idk why i never went to see it #it was placed at a corner in the gallery. me and my friend sat down and sketched the paintings of beautiful naked people quite badly. paper #provided by tate britain. she told me about how she couldnt look her boyfriend in the face after a harrowing film about war. when i say the #interview was informal i mean the person who was supposed to be my boss told me let me get you a cider and then he said after #50 years of life he knows people are inherently good and it only takes a little bit of kindness to save this world. he said he tricked #his wife into keeping the baby and then he said he quit his job at a US bank to help people find meaning and in it #he would have liked to find meaning. instead he started climbing with his friends. he said he chews his cigarettes because its a habit from #when he had to hide things from people. the entire time i felt uncomfortable and incredibly enlightened. this is my friends mentor. she has #his pattern of pauses and expletive and penchant for ends-justify-means attitude. i do think im not very clever #but maybe one day i will love you enough to make up for it. i wrote code i dont understand staring at the final error i thought about how #we both thought of how when we're too old to remember the voices of our friends we would like to stand in the pathway of the LHC beam pipe #cut it open and eat light in the freezing cold vacuum (kills you long before radiation will) the invisible puncture wound unfolding dna #back to the start larger than you ever were. you go to heaven once youve been to hell. my friend is in my bed #practicing calculations of eigenvectors by hand and she is uninterested in a visual proof you are uninterested in incompetence #we catch a train this is your kind of burden you tragic hero wincing at that word you only do this because you have to. im the only one #who can. i am a coward in this for the fucking poetry. the visual proofs. the pretty numbers. an architect who was horrible at maths wanted #to be a philosopher and accidentally ended up neck in deep in 70th Error On Visual Studio Code i want to kiss your eyes before we say #goodbye we both know there is no love in the way there should be. I still have your dress in my wardrobe. i hope you make art.#you think im alright head-wise i think you fucking hate me i think ill never be so clever you want me to tell you my idea?#if you wanted more of this world i would have liked to kiss you harder. we cant both be like this. im sorry i cant be with you the whole wa #the love is gone if you have to ask it. his breath catches his eyes feel stiff it is -1.9 kelvin he is near the beam pipe i miss holding #his hand i miss her singing voice i miss his hair and i found the antonym of pain thank you for carrying me home.

IT'S SPRING TIME!!!!

It't over 11°C and sun is shining and I AM LIVING!!

Fuck the plantar fasciitis I'm going for a walk and won't return untill I've outdoored a proper amount. Probably visiting a coffee shop to not breat my foot have some coffee and cake time, maybe with a sketchbook.

Spring!!!! Summer hat time!

#shut up paper #for the records the plantar fasciitis HAS gotten better lately #now it only bothers me sometimes and usually isn't as bad as it was just couple months ago #unfortunately my OTHER foot has started to show signs of the same problem #which I guess I should have predicted as that's what happened last time all those years ago #hopefully it will also follow the last time's established plan of not lasting as long as the first foot's #but it's SPRING TIME!!!!#and my brain demands outdoor adventures

Heart Pre-ROE / Heart Post Apathy (you're here!) / Heart Post Recovery

Well, something's sure gone wrong. Mind and Soul have some observations (and concerns).

Transcript is in read more (because I gave Soul the Lords most atrocious handwriting)

BUT ANYWAYS. LORE. This is on the first day after Soul pulled Heart out of Apathy. Neither of them know what is going on, but the guilt is slowly starting to set in. They don't know if Apathy did this, or if its something else that made Heart unconscious, but they are going to figure out a way to wake him up.

(ehe combining a reference sheet with the lore)

Indication of who's who: S is Soul and M is Mind

M: Observations on Heart's condition

S: Initial! WTF is happening

M: Concerningly, he is missing both wings

S: I'm pretty sure they fell off? There's no blood on his back. I might be sick

M: Not on the notes. Hypothesis, they fell off somehow, despite being connected to his back

S: move on pls

M: His limbs have blackened. The pattern suggests it may be moving via his veins . We have changed him into shorter clothes, for ease of examination and monitoring.

S: His limbs are FREEZING are you sure this is a good idea

M: We can cover him with a blanket. His chest, in comparison, is warm. He breathes at an even rate. That is all obser-

S: YOU FORGOT TO WRITE THAT HEART IS UNCONSCIOUS

M: Apologies. Heart was found in and has remained in an unconscious state. I have reason to believe he is in a coma. I do not know how we are to awaken him, nor what afflicts him.

S: We shouldn't have left him in Apathy. That was my mistake. I'm sorry I'm sorry

M: That concludes our current observations

the og m.o.b. showing off their makeup and nails

timelapse:

#mine.art #lssmp #leowook #clownpierce #princezam #my (early) s2 designs for leowook and zam are a bit different from their later ones (though zams is the only visible one)#basically the paper thing on leo is a talisman that allows him to both move and keep his mannequin vessel between respawns #early s2 he just used tape to keep it on but it kept falling off so he eventually started using a circlet #zam changes basically every season lol #mainly his hair length; crown location; and the hope in his eyes #his hair grows longer as the darkness in his soul increases lol #crown location just depends on his status position #in s2 it looks like a regular crown except way higher than it should be #at first i was gonna give zam lipstick as well since leos regular design doesnt have lipstick either #but decided no the only lipstick zam will ever wear is of the blood of the ppl he bites #...i forgor zam has sharp teeth whoops

...😭

#i've never had a job in my own field that i've liked as much as i've liked my current one #the semester is ending soon and today i heard my contract will not be renewed bc the person i'm substituting will return to work after all #i've been feeling so tired and a bit poorly after the nokia arena show and i probably should have called in sick today #as i was absolutely useless today #and then after my only class today my students came to me with a gift?? 😭#a pink enamel moomin mug and some chocolate and a paper on which they had written nice things about me + a drawing of a dachshund 😭#and i burst to tears right there in front of them because i was so touched (and also because i'm just really really tired and emotional)#i'm so tired about having to apply for new jobs and having to start all over again #i'm so tired of having to do shitty short-notice substitutions again #i feel like i deserve better than that but on the other hand i fee like life's giving me exactly what i deserve and maybe this is it #i'm dreading the summer because idk if i'll have a job to go to in the autumn #and even if i did find something it won't be like the job i have now #also. it's may day eve and the weather's lovely #and i'm hiding in my apartment with the curtains closed so i won't see all the people going out and having fun with their friends #for me may day eve has never been like that. i've always felt so very excluded from those celebrations #on top of that i got yelled at by a bus driver and i'm the worst friend that ever existed #i'm trying to quit on whining about my sad little life but it gets so lonely #please know i'm not writing this for attention or pity. i know y'all have problems of your own and i'm just being a dramatic crybaby

kaiser, I've been low-key worried about you as you crawl your way out of the Covid Hole. How are you doing? Hopefully recovering some energy? Sending you good healing vibes from afar!

Ahh, I hope you don't mind that I answer this one publicly. First of all, aww, that is very sweet, thank you 🥺💖 I'm not gonna lie, I still struggle quite a bit with breathing and concentration, but I'm getting there! (That I'm exhausted all the time is a given, but it's always been like thay.) I'm currently working out to get my lungs back to where they should be, but I'm also currently teaching and studying and working and moving and traveling for work and- *deflates*

I miss drawing a lot and I feel really restless since I stopped. Hopefully I'll come back to it by next month - once S3 is here I'm definitely back in my clown makeup 🙈🤡

#covid really got to me #but moving is also really exhausting #and I'm teaching some uh.. I guess college classes (?) soon that I have yet to prepare for #and a paper to write #I should also hop over to the netherlands by the start of next month for a congress - I did send an abstract in for that one #and another one in six weeks #have I mentioned aaaaaa yet #also moving really sucks the life out of me #very exhausting and much to carry and build and so many ikea trips #but I still have a head like a sieve sadly so it's all a bit unorganized - which is normally not how I handle things #and I'm really :( about not drawing - it always makes me antsy because I feel the longer I stop the harder it is to start again #and I don't want to loose all my drive and just. stop one day #that has happened before and lasted for years ._______.

don't you love (hate) being at your relatives' and trying to write with no headphones (pure hate) while having to hear your family talk shit about you (blind fucking hate) out loud in the other room knowing perfectly well you can hear them (hate. hate. H. A. T. E. hate.)

#you know those moments where you're like ''oh so I won't ever tell you anything about myself ever again. cool''#i was having a good day. i was having a good fucking day before this.#like i was actually happy with my achievements in school but sure. sure. tear into it like wet paper #I don't care about anything anyway you convinced yourself of that. sure.#heard little bro take my defense at some point and i was about ready to run out there and wrestle him into a bear hug #i should stop coming. no better. i should start coming with my own car. se when they start acting like jackasses i can make my little scene #where i pick up my things and leave. while also getting to say hi to my grandma. who's done nothing to me ever.#i love my mom. not like she makes it any fucking easy #aaaand there she goes again. god shut the fuck up.

(modern got hc)

Theon let's Rickon play games on his phone just about whenever he wants and secretly loves scrolling through all of the terrible photos/videos the kid takes (even if it takes up all his storage).

#he bought Minecraft (pe) for him and they shared a world together #rickon also played pocket frogs. paper toss. all of the dumb ways to die games. furdiburb (if anyone actually knows that game). and-#amateur surgeon (which theon should *not* let him play. but oh well)#he also gets him Toca Boca games for birthdays/holidays or when he needs to bribe him #if Rickon was attached to him at the hip prior to earning phone rights he most certainly is now #they buddy up when they go out with the family so Rickon can sit next to him #he likes to show Theon what he's doing #Theon thinks its entertaining #totally started cause theon woukd be forced to watch the littles from time to time since he was the oldest and this was the easiest way to-#keep Rickon from bolting and noe its just normal for them #theon and rickon being besties is my agenda #theon greyjoy #rickon stark #got #game of thrones #asoiaf #obviously this is a modern and a slightly less sucky/making it work/not a dumpster fire of a family au #I am delusional about my silly little man theon Greyjoy #just ignore me

Tav Tag!

Inspired by @inaconstantstateofchange's entry -- big thanks to them for gently motivating me and also to @triumphingmybest for the very cool template!

I want to draw my Tav & talk about them more on this blog, but I wanted to introduce them properly first. Meet Hemlock, my godless Oathbreaker paladin who's nevertheless trying his best all the time:

I've been using #tav/astarion and #tav: hemlock on this blog to tag things that especially remind me of them, so if you're interested in more Hemlock vibes, give that a peek.

You can find a blank Tav Tag template here!

I am very shy but very eager to perceive other people's characters. Tagging @beaubambabey & @jellymellydraws in the softest, lowest-pressure way imaginable, and YOU, if you're reading this and would like to talk about your Tav too!

(also please behold my redemption Durge under the cut, because this was getting long:)

I drew Century already over here! Their tag is #durge: century. It was important to me that they be Very Pathetic At All Times; never more than 30 seconds away from dissolving into tears.

Hemlock is also a mess and also about two steps away from a nervous breakdown for most of the game, but at least he hides it better. He's just starting to crack, whereas Century has already been smashed to smithereens, you feel? (Astarion gets his teeth into both of them, for better or worse...)

I just really like characters who're in the midst of a faith/personal identity crisis, it fuels me.

#bg3 tav #bg3 durge #bg3 ocs #bg3 oc #I should really start tagging my tav stuff properly I'm very normal about them #on paper Hem has a negative character arc but the whole Oathbreaker thing is actually really good for him I promise #I play fast and loose with both Hem's and Century's pronouns #I realized halfway through Hem's game that I accidentally made the most stereotypical half-elf #I realized this when my partner disguised himself as s generic half-elf and I went ''hey wait a minute'' and then realized #IN MY DEFENSE Hem does not think of themself as subvertive at all and so wouldn't go out of their way to look especially striking #they have a prominent scar + markings on their face and their hair has a bit of red in it #but in this angle/in this light it's hard to see #I can & will justify my prettyboy paladin's prettyboy-ness #bg3 spoilers #tav: hemlock #durge: century
