#binary cant

[alchemist-of-life]

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!):

When you add them, subtract them, divide them, multiply them, multiply them again, add them again, and then mix them together, X is born.

PSA!!!!!

This is for the people who didn't know they were gay or bi or pan or ace or aro in their childhood.

This is for the people who had crushes which could be deemed straight and then came out as gay later in their lives.

This is for the trans or genderqueer or fluid or nonbinary people who did not experience dysphoria in their agab.

This one is for the people who don't want to take T or E or have gender-affirming surgery but are still trans.

This one is for the sex-positive or sex-neutral aces who are told that they aren't ace because they aren't disgusted by sex.

This one is for anyone who has been told, "You just need to find the right girl/guy!"

This one is for all the queer people who have been told that they cannot be queer because of their religion, race, ethnicity, etc.

This one is for all the queer people who were told that they weren't queer just because they didn't fit into somebody else's idea of what being queer is like.

Nobody can tell you how to be queer. The only one who gets to decide that is YOU. Queer people do not need to bend themselves over backwards to make others comfortable.

We have always been here and we will continue to be here, and everyone else will just have to learn to accept that.

As a bigender person who uses he and she pronouns with no preference for frequency of changing it up i am very defensive of the bazaar's pronoun usage. It doesn't give a shit ♡ however I still feel semi obliged to change it up and usually lean towards it/its because I need to assure everyone anxiously I recognize its crabgendered swag

But also i really do like how canonically the bazaar is referred to as he/she/it, most people have one set they lean towards, and the bazaar also is referred to with traditionally gendered titles like 'mother' and 'father'! And? Absolutely none of that is a reflection on what its gender identity is!

I think if the Bazaar wanted, it could communicate a preference, but doesn't— though I'm somewhat sure the Bazaar has never been referred to with 'they/them' (as a fellow person who simply isn't a they/them, I like this a lot. It isn't just 'the default pronoun for nonbinary people')

This has been 'the guy who really likes the bazaar, talking about the bazaar and gender a little, thank you very much'

They may despise each other, but there is a trust that comes with understanding the other on a level no one else will

Brian, why do you only speak in binary code? Or should I say... Brainary code.

*ba dum tss*

I can type normal but there's some information that 01001001 01000100 00100000 01010010 01000001 01010100 01001000 01000101 01010010 00100000 01001000 01001001 01000100 01000101 00100000 01000110 01010010 01001111 01001101 00100000 01010100 01001001 01001101...

something I noticed abt Eli and Demetri is e2 was that Eli barely talked and it felt like they went back to their old dynamic of Demetri talking for the both of them and at first I thought it was like “oh maybe he doesn’t want to go to MIT and that’s why he’s being weird” but like canonically confirmed that he doesn’t start doubting the MIT stuff until the end of e2, which leads me to think that they’re just exponentially more comfortable like that. Eli moskowitz semi-verbal king confirmed

ep 2 their dynamic felt like coming home like you're so right. i also thought the MIT uncertainty too, but truly SEMI-VERBAL KING ELI IS SO BACK 👏👏👏 (he never went anywhere he was just brainwashed by kreese for a hot sec)

like it heals my heart to see eli that comfortable again and like finally sure of himself. either way i love love loved the eli/demetri dynamic before it was rudely ripped away from us in ep4

but to bring up another similar thought - maybe it's just me but i CANNOT get over how eli yells "you picked MY path??" to demetri in like the same broken voice he had when was crying and he yelled at his mom in the s2 flashback. idk i just feel like that's his 'demetri' voice (aka real voice)? essentially it's when he's not purposefully lowering it to sound manlier lmao

i love it when people go “gender swap!” to a character and literally nothing about them changes. the before and after look exactly the same. this needs to happen more often

Is this a safe space to say non binary 2D?

[harlequinoccult]

Hi its me the BSH anon. I replayed it and I have to admit Ray is one hot son of a bitch. BUT I choose every option that I think that will get me close to him but I'm still getting burnt😭

Ah, thats how he gets you. Baits you with being hot and now you have a puzzle box of a bastard on your hands. Don't give up on Ray.

finnnnally got myself to draw something

[allisberris]

You know it's kinda crazy how ray is genuinely forcing me not to move on because my pc's wifi adapter BROKE right before i planned on downloading some new games 🤦🏾‍♀️🤦🏾‍♀️ this is unreal
