 @DISCORD KITTEN 14 ploopys are optical (pixart sensor) so the bearings are just performative. i have to scrape them out from time to time but it works ok.

micro-fine movements are a pain sometimes but those are only relevant to FPS games which i only play because its all friend groups want to play

some people replace them with tiny ball transfer units and similar, but its a chore to source/print/mod that. 
 Google news every day is like
Israel kills another 30,000 people
Meanwhile a single Israeli got lost in Europe, end of the world much booing and hooing

thats not how you grow your channel. i literally spent like two months with someone who used that tactic.

 the problem with left-right (outside of having to say that because you have to use words people understand) is that we're long past genuine people with beliefs having a disagreement and are now in some WWE cage match where john cena and seth rollins show up to the ring wearing party costumes and we pretend like those are actual people.

 @542debdc i read it. he's pointing out how everything the class does is pointless or another bloodline does it better.

namely, dragon blood comes with armor +resistances (storm for some reason doesn't make you resistant to itself), the big flight isn't til level 18 (that you won't get to), the class feats are all anti-synergies or work backwards.

tl;dr if you wanna be a storm sorc, storm sorc is the suboptimu way to do it.

 @Terry Hendrix II 🏹 there was a scultping prototype called kizamu which used those. i might have the paper somewhere. they stored stuff in trees that split when there was too much gradient error.

adaptively sampled distance fields don't help with voxel sculpting though.

 @gray that hasn't been my experience with the first one i had, but this one it may be true. maybe tomorrow i'll try without the external amp again.

but they were one of the last groups offering stability and now nobody is doing that. afaik suse got rid of the non-rolling open distro, and now linux foundation is like lmao rolling kernel go burrrr.

ironically christopher alexander's architecture books are like "people really like cyclical designs and say they feel alive."

i suspect its because people have gotten so developmentally stunted by dead architecture and serfdom that they get easily confused when faced with having to make decisions :blobcatgoogly:
