  • Was this before actual hard disk drives became popular?

    I remember as a child one of my friends has a very old computer, even for the nineties. All of the programs had to be loaded on with 3.5" floppy disks each time we wanted to run them. There was a cargo ship management game that we messed with that I was too young to understand. I was really interested in "ballast" as cargo because it was zero cost; no wonder I didn't make any money.

  • If I stand on one side of a magic portal and there is a Nazi on the other side of the portal, that Nazi is in punching distance. Technology allows transmission of voices at the speed of light. Don't be pedantic.

  • Relation between aphantasia

    Jump

  • I have Aphantasia and ADHD, and I can confirm that the sleep/wake boundary allows for some startling visualizations.

    Apparently it is a different visualizing scheme that dreaming uses, so practicing visualizing in that half-asleep state doesn't strengthen the bit that is used while awake.

  • Y'know, I think you're right. That gray bit looks like the tank barrel. I mistook that as part of the projectile path, and I misinterpreted the overall design as a missile battery.
