Disco Elysium has a lot of fascinating fictional technology but I have been rotating the radiocomputer in my mind for months now. From what I can gather, they operate in a way very similar to modern cloud computing. It doesn't seem like the mainframes we interact with have any processing capability. Instead, they use antennas to process "on air":
SOONA, THE PROGRAMMER - "Alright, well... All radiocomputers perform operations up on air, so in order to gain more processing power you need to invest in a *good antenna*."
The only information we get about what "on air" really means is from the same conversation with Soona:
YOU - "Wait, what's 'on air'?"
SOONA, THE PROGRAMMER - "On the *front*. The unified front of radiowaves, licensed and controlled by Lintel in the East-Insulindic region."
SOONA, THE PROGRAMMER - "It's all around us," she waves her hand, "that's what 'on air' means."
The nonspecific language used here really invokes cloud computing to me. I think there are two main possibilities for how this could work, one being much more likely than the other.
The more likely answer is that information is sent to and from the in-game equivalent of data centers, which would host massive computers with processing capabilities. I'm not sure what their processors would look like, but they'd almost certainly be analog (the lost Feld tape computers are most likely the in-game equivalent of early digital computers).
The significantly less likely (but more interesting) answer is that in-game radio waves are somehow capable of processing information on their own. I have no idea how this would work, and as far as I know there's no real-world analog. But it's clear the world of Disco Elysium has some crazy things happening with radio waves (see how they interact with the pale), so I'm not ruling it out entirely.
The filament memories are like hard drives, but my guess is they would function more similarly to an optical disc (CDs, DVDs), which use patterns in the disc to encode information that's read using lasers or light. The filaments glow inside the mainframe, so it's not a huge leap to assume they're read using light.
The amount of thought put into radiocomputers is so fascinating. As far as I can tell, their version of the internet has been wireless from the get-go, which makes perfect sense! Antennas and other wireless radio technologies would have to be pretty damn powerful to communicate across and force dimensions on the pale. And you have to assume huge amounts of government money has gone into funding their research and development for those purposes. The technology of radiocomputers is so tailored to the world of Disco Elysium, and it's been a lot of fun trying to untangle how exactly they would work.
#i would loooove to hear other people's thoughts on this!! i tried to find conversations abt it and didn't come up with much#also if anyone wants me to elaborate on the feld tape computer thing lmk... its a long post so i didn't want to go into more detail#but i do have Thoughts about it#cyan.txt#disco elysium#disco elysium meta#soona the programmer

I get sad thinking about how during ichigo and grimmjows fight in hm. Particularly the moment when he see sees orihime's terrified reaction to his mask. I think he considered her previous trauma with acid wire ofc, but how must he have felt when orihime looked at him like that? She was the girl who managed to make friends with everyone and empathized so deeply with even her enemies, let alone her closer friends. And she was looking at him, completely frozen with fear, and he hated being the source of it. It just makes my feelers hurt so bad for some reason :(
i think the great thing about this fight is that it lets you empathize with both ichigo and orihime without diminishing either of their feelings, which is just. good writing. i'd go so far as to say this fight is also superb because of how it manages to address many overarching themes at once: a) ichigo's human-hollow struggle that keeps rearing its head every now and then b) orihime's complicated relationship with violence c) grimmjow's twisted desire to feel validated by ichigo, who he sees as his own mirror d) ichigo & orihime's long-term struggle to cross the chasm that separates them and meet in the middle.
a lot of people focus on orihime's fear here, but the truth is, ichigo himself was afraid of his hollow and was NOT confident about his ability to control it. when he tells orihime not to be afraid without his mask on, he looks at her and smiles. with the mask, he doesn't even make eye contact. when he accidentally does make eye contact later on in the fight, it crushes him, and the beauty of this fight is that it's all carried out through body language. his heart sinks, and so does yours, if you're invested in the fight. ichigo's entire arc so far has been about mastering this side of himself that he's desperately afraid of losing to, and now the person he's protecting is afraid of him, too. he begins doubting himself: what if grimmjow is right? what if he really did just come here to fight?
if you look at orihime's side of things, she's not wrong either. orihime's entire arc was about self-doubt at this time. she was never really sure of her worth to others, so how could she be sure that ichigo, who's reiatsu is rougher and darker than usual (just like her dead brother) was fighting for her? she does eventually realize her effect on him with a little help from nel. but in the end, nel's testimony doesn't matter much either because orihime realizes she would love ichigo even if he wasn't fighting for her. she just doesn't want him to get hurt.
lucky for us, grimmjow isn't right and it's obvious that ichigo did indeed come to fight him—if only to protect everyone and take orihime back home. fighting is ichigo's means to an end. his reaction to orihime is our indicator of that. the great thing about this fight is what it tells us—that if ichigo was this affected by orihime's face, then it means he truly didn't come here just to fight. that nel's cheers did nothing to grab ichigo's attention, but orihime's first broken whisper did. that having orihime nearby reminds him of what he's fighting for, which is something that literally saves his human life when he's in vasto lorde form. he left his heart with her, just as she did with him before she left. if we began this journey with rangiku saying ichigo needs orihime, this arc shows us how. this fight shows us how. yes, orihime's fear caused him some pain, but none of us can deny how cocky he got when she cheered for him, either, so it goes both ways :D
#i loved this volume very much & now that we have lust & horn of salvation their arc is complete :))))#each ichihime moment has got to be seen as a conversation with other ichihime moments#and that's when you realize how nicely their romantic subplot has been fleshed out over arcs#personal biases aside i dont really understand calling IH rushed when they're the one part of the story that WASN'T rushed#every arc gave them a new status quo to navigate and among all the canon married couples#they're the one we spent the longest time with - even compared to ren&rukia#like sorry for waxing poetic about it i'm sure everyone feels this way about their favorite ships but i loooove IH <3 they're so good#asks#ichihime

cameron marrying a guy dying of cancer 🤝 wilson dating his cancer patient
#and house (correctly) identifying that they both have a thing for needy people#wilson also correctly saying tho that house has a compulsive need to be in control and that's why he forces everyone away#actually very similar in effect to cameron's comment about him hating ppl in response to their conversation about her husband's cancer#even if the actual context is slightly different#i loooove that they are the only two characters who are really able to render him speechless#house is right that they're fucked in the head but he's wrong about that being the reason why they love him#it is however the reason why they keep coming back#house md

Smartness
Just curious about your comment on giving the smartest character a northern English accent (presumably not literally since they speak a different language, but in a theoretical "English dub"); who would you say are the smartest cats in the BB au?
@halogenwarrior
Jessy! Definitely! That girl's a total genius! She's got this amazing way of thinking in 3D and considering long-term consequences. I consider her as a proper prodigy of cat engineering, more than just being intelligent like a lot of my other characters.
Lizardstripe and Barley Sr. are both also very intelligent, though Lizardstripe's intelligence is in a more interpersonal sense where Barley Sr's is in a more engineering sense.
I try to think of intelligence not as a singular Thing, but as a bunch of separate 'types' of intelligence that individuals can have. Some people are great at understanding 3D space, others are amazing at remembering basically everything, others have outstanding social intelligence. So on. Most people have at least one, unless you're Billystorm <3
Other random 'smart dudes' in BB,
Runningnose: Just as intelligent as his mother, Lizardstripe.
Brushburn: Great engineer, photographic memory
Dappletail and Ferncloud: All educators need to have really good memories.
Ravenpaw: Excellent memory, would have made a great Cleric
Spottedleaf: Insightful, catches people off guard with how much she's able to gleam about you just from a few sentences
Daisy: Very rational and insightful, able to clear her mind and see things objectively.
Poppyfrost: Inquisitive, excellent at logical processes
MacGyver: That name... it HAS to be something.
List is obviously not comprehensive, but these are characters I think are particularly intelligent.
Anyway, yeah, in-universe the cats are all speaking Clanmew. But I got a request from a loved one to very specifically make "the smartest character" ferociously Northern for them (in the hypothetical "dub").
Logically since the cats are in an amalgam of Clwyd/Cheshire/Manchester/Merseyside/Lancashire they'd ALL get accents from those areas. But "the smartest character" has to be even further up. Cumbria, maybe.
#I have a very silly fondness of MacGyver of SkyClan because my great-grandmother looooved MacGyver the show#My parent has this cute anecdote about how Great Gran used to open up a conversation with ''ohhhhh that macgyver...''#''You'll never believe what he did this time!''#Like. Man. I wish I coulda been to one of those little meet-ups#Spill the beans Great-Grammy what DID that MacGyver get up to this time?!#But anyways I love MacGyver for total off-screen reasons. His name just makes me feel super fuzzy#bone babble#better bones au

Some Lokeans are some of the rudest, most defensive fucking people that need to understand the power of logging off 💀
(SOME. Not ALL.)
#literally I've come up and said things trying to contribute to conversations constructively#and they will read it as an attack (cause they loooove being under attack) and bite my fucking head off#over shit that does. not. matter.#had one flip out at me for coming up with gender neutral deity terms#had another flip out at me for saying 'it's healthy to block bullies'#oh and the person who flipped out at me over the gender neutral thing#is/was helped run the lokean welcoming committee blog. that blog is not as full of helpful people as you think 🙄#same lokean welcoming committee person had it out for another pagan I knew and constantly chewed them out over everything#I will never join online pagan groups ever again tbh they are chalk full of people who want to be a victim so they can lash out

to be honest i think there is a very clear pathway to cheronica happening this season (cheryl’s “get out of my school” vibes, veronica introducing the concept of bisexuality to the group, hermione telling veronica “no boys” which EYE think would be very fun if veronica was like “okay fine then girls”) but i KNOW they’re not gonna take it
#riverdale#cheronica#i know they’re gonna use this as a reset button for choni and i hate it#i enjoy both cheryl and veronica the most when they have shared plotlines honestly so as a ship it just seems like the natural choice#and i would loooove to see enlightened hollywood veronica be the one to handhold 50s cheryl out of the closet#i know it’ll be toni but i don’t want them to put her through that job again#it was sweet enough the first time like i DID love the conversion therapy kiss but#toni deserves so much more than cheryl both as a person and like narratively she deserves better storylines#i cannot watch her just be the cool bisexual who does whatever cheryl does and also tackles serious racism topics sometimes again#like. i know the actresses are besties but i’m sorry the ship is bad it got boring fast#r.txt

I NEEED to go back to making art that makes it ABUNDANTLY clear that theres something wrong with my brain BUT NOT in a cool or stylishly interesting way. i need to do it in a way that makes people say "hm." and walk away
#sowwy ive been kinda going through it in my fine arts major rn can u tell HJKSDHKFd#ive been feeling like. scared. and paralyzed by marketability and branding.#i cant stop thinking about how other people will see my art. but not like in a good way#when i was younger i thought about it in a good way. like hee hee hoo hoo the act of looking connected us hee hee#but rn i keep thinking about it in like this wretched like consumer product mindset? ouhhghhhhh el problema es el capitalismo#and like maybe this works for some people. to think like this. to make art like this. its what my professors push me towards#not intentionally. they dont say it out loud at least. im not sure if they know or not some of the irony#my professors are nice and pretty smart and talented and i like em. but sometimes i wonder like. the push for us as students to make like#marketable 'avant garde'? stuff thats safe but pretending to be weird and out there#i dont mean to sound pretentious. in general i play it too safe myself (spent too much time as an edgy 10 year old with my#parents freaking out over my shoulder because they think the fact that i drew an anime character frowning means something serious LOL)#but i dunno man. my least interesting art with the least amount of care thought or effort always gets so much more attention in school#nowhere else oddly. online? people like my more passionate but seemingly frivolous art (oc art etc. not frivolous to me but yknow how it is#same with irl artists and other industry people outside my school. whats going on in my school LOL#i know from experience i cant push myself into a supposedly marketable brand. if i try to make something sell it will not.#i dont know why. maybe theres an invisible essence buyers can tell when i didnt care jkfsldjdfrds#but my teachers LOOOOVE the stuff i put no passion in its so bizarre orz but i gotta relearn how to ignore half of their advice#i used to be better at it. but i also only used to ignore like a quarter of their advice. maybe i need to amp up how much im ignoring#that sounds mean. they have plenty of good advice. but also plenty of advice thats clouded by their own biases#and i gotta relearn how to sort out this stuff again. i forget every few months for some reason#you know i always think ouuhhhhh i act so neurotypical ouhhhhhhhhh im outgoing i talk to strangers all the time i seem confident#im so masked IM SO MASKED but then i go a couple weeks where every conversation i have has people looking at me like#i have two heads and neither of them are speaking their language. and then i descend into madness like this HJKLDSHJDS#i'll be fine i'll figure it out. i need to stop trying to get a good grade in being a 'cutting edge' conventional artist <3#i need to just. draw my cartoon characters in peace 😔😔😔

pantheon is pretty fucked up im kind of into it
#smudgy.txt#pantheon amc#pantheon spoilers#(in the tags/notes ig)#i love love looooved the existential horror of uploaded intelligence in soma im#so glad to see it used in another story#but this one looks like itll be more optimistic/looking at things more from th perspective that the ppl who've been uploaded r still human#rather than leaving it ambiguous. which ig takes some of the horror away from it#but honestly i dont mind. its a different take from the usual but rly nice to see#sry i like the conversation of like. artificial immortality for lack of a better term#but so many things tend to be so pessimistic when it comes to futuristic tech#which isnt necessarily bad imo but like...#the focus tends to b on just the general fear of playing god & a fear of things that r different & new#& talk abt mans hubris & blah blah blah#which.. thats all been said like a million times#i like to see smth different!!#i looove just looking at this stuff from different angles#specifically when its an optimistic angle since ppl tend to completely overlook that.#which like i know WHY. but still. lighten up a bit sometimes. anyway#sorry i lost my train of thought#lots of messed up stuff happening in this show#but the results of that stuff. the little moments inbetween... it intrigues me!! & makes my heart ache a little bit

hello. please add the community label for sexual themes to this post https://at.tumblr.com/adult-cool/703815114825007104/3q9g80hzplo4 to let any of ace fans of this podcast to blur or to filter this post out. it may be drawn well, but looking at it is very uncomfortable if you don't enjoy the thoughts of hurting this character this way. thank you.
oh shit you’re so right- my apologies, I forgot community labels are a thing now. if it’s also beneficial, blocking the tag “nsft” is a way to filter nsfw content without the op being removed from the tags. but yes, thank you, I will do that right away.
#ask#anon#I do want to acknowledge that I don’t loooove sexuality being equated with hurt#like yes there’s a level of discomfort depicted in the drawing#but there was not meant to be any actual pain/hurt in it and I don’t feel super comfortable with them being conflated#not something I really want a conversation about#just wanted to say

something something a lot of u are obnoxious about vegans but again i don’t think that random individuals should have to be the ones to decide not to participate in industries heavily relying human rights abuses, animal cruelty, and/or environmental destruction.
#like i loooove veganism. but as long as it is not a realistic option for many people i would like.#i’d prefer for the conversation not to always center around ‘well i get my meat from an ETHICAL farm where i personally investigated etc et’#because like. ok that’s great whatever. do you not realize that that’s an insane thing for you to have to do#you shouldn’t have to look for a farm that isn’t horrific to its animals#you shouldn’t have to look for a farm that isn’t horrific to its WORKERS who work dangerous jobs for little pay with few options#etc etc etc#like you are STILL relying on individual actions!! organize to eliminate unethical farms??? maybe???
