🌻 Apps and Games

Finch: mental health app where you care for a little bird! Offers many features such as focus timers, rant zones, nature sounds, fun questions, and more! You can even make friends on it and send them encouragement :) (my friend code)

Adorable Home: a precious game in which you have a tiny spouse, cats, and a little house you can decorate! You can check in and enjoy peaceful music, different scenes, and upgrades through collecting tiny hearts you earn through easy tasks! A truly adorable and relaxing game!

Seashine: a game set underwater in which you guide a tiny luminescent jellyfish through the abyss. Beautiful, relaxing music and distant whale noises; some scary enemies, so if you have thalassophobia this might not be the one for you. Very calming otherwise though, and the creator is coming out with an enemy-free version soon in which you can just float around to the music!

Cat Snack Bar: an adorable app where you operate different business venues with the help of chubby, adorable cats! You check in periodically to collect money and update your venue, but otherwise it doesn't require much brain power. A very cute game to help you relax!

Webtoon: a comic app that allows you to browse thousands of creative and often relaxing webcomics! My personal favorite is Cursed Princess Club; it's a very clever and happy one with a lot of good messages!

1010!: a fun little game where you match up blocks. Fairly simple and satisfying, and you can update your backgrounds to fun designs!

Papa's Cupcakeria: a relaxing and satisfying game where you make cupcakes! And of course there’s a whole series of games in the Papa Louie universe to choose from that are fun and happy :)

The first point and the third point are absolutely correct. It’s really crazy to think about how everything we see is just photons bouncing off one another relative to the particles around it which then are relative to us.

Also since each particle can’t be perfectly updated every frame sometimes we don’t have enough other particles around a specific photon in spacetime (3D space plus particles that were recently in the same space it’s currently in) so then that photon has to guess its location for the next frame like you summarized in point 3.

The second point about the speed of light limiting the number of particles is slightly innacurate since I’m assuming at each time step of the universe our in-universe time kinda freezes during the computation and any particle could contact any other particle instantaneously (think shared read-only universal hashmap where each particle can only modify its own entry). Therefore the limitation on checking all of the particles in the universe every frame isn’t based on the speed of light but rather on how each particle just doesn’t have the capacity to check all the billions of particles in a 1 meter radius of it and similarly those billions of particles don’t have the capacity to check that one additional particle so the universe fuzzes with randomness and gets it mostly correct instead. Fun fact: Fuzzing with randomness is actually used in Redis and other caches to have low latency most of the time without having to exactly track how many times each cache has been accessed or when the last access was.

Thank you so much for the distilled summary! I def appreciate the feedback and knowing what you understood from it all. I’m still refining my explanation so thank you!

honestly getting infodumped to is like. dreamy

there's nothing that melts me more than just hearing someone be passionate about something. And if someone has hurt you in the past and makes you reluctant to fuckin completely go off on the expanded canon of the X-Files or whatever, I'm gonna hit them in the head with a big mallet. You're adorable, show it. Please

Happy pride! 🌈

karl marx didnt predict the puppygirl so what does he know really

Fuck.

Just stumbled upon this homophobic ad from a Christian Church on Facebook and the way it unintentionally slayed—

I wrote a poem about my first love about a month into our relationship. Today they broke up with me. Here is that poem:

Light Rays

Light rays filtering in all the way from the sun.

Sometimes after a detour to the moon

Filtering in through leaves or bouncing off the snow or ricocheting off someone‘s iris into my pupil.

So much light entering my soul.

So much distance that ray has traveled

All so that my soul can become enthralled with another’s.

When I look someone in the eyes I feel their soul capturing mine; overwhelming me with awe

I bathe in the depths of another’s pupils. Become absorbed by the ever-expanding darkness. Let everything else fade. The darkness strengthened by the photon ring surrounding their pupils;

flecks of light which absorb and reflect rays, surrounding and contrasting the center.

I know I shouldn’t stare into the sun, for I might go blind from the magnitude of pure white light

But when I peer into the darkest depths of another all other senses fade away, consumed by my captivation.

I often look just shy of someone’s gaze;

Their nose, their eyelid.

Otherwise, I’d always be getting lost exploring the souls of others.

If I truly look you in the eye you’ll watch as I get absorbed by you.

If I look you in the eye it means I want to feel totally embraced by you.

If I look you in the eye, it might even mean I love you.

Otherwise, I hope hanging by the hawking radiation, just out of reach of being absorbed, will suffice.

Hydra head dysphoria is so frustrating frfr

The thing where you improve the look of one thing that gives you dysphoria and then three other things give you way worse dysphoria than you ever had should be fucking illegal.
