#log alignment

[todays-xkcd]

A video can have a log scale that's misaligned with both the time AND space axes.

Log Alignment [Explained]

[Caption below the panel:] There's actually no rule in math that says your log scales have to be aligned with your graph axes.

suckmybearings: Wheeljack sprawling in his seat, tilting his helm back and calling out loudly to the room. "Oh, no. Wrecker down. I sure fraggin' hope no one comes along and takes advantage of my vulnerable situation, 'specially if they're beautiful and they like bein' mean to me."

autobotmedic: "…" Well that leaves out Ratchet good luck Electron.

autobotmedic: He's all yours.

deceitfulcharmer: -pushes Megatron into his cage, shoves Electron out instead-

autobotmedic: (i actually pictured him briefly stepping into the door, taking one look at wj's pose, and then immediately turning back around)

autobotmedic: (nope)

suckmybearings: That is the correct response.

suckmybearings: If Megatron showed up, I immediately saw Wheeljack make a startled noise, horrified, and jerk his legs up to protect his lap. NOT YOU.

deceitfulcharmer: LMFAO fully understandable

deceitfulcharmer: Not that it would stop him, just reaching out to grab him by a leg and bodily drag him out

suckmybearings: MEGATRON

deceitfulcharmer: HE HAS A TASTE FOR MANHANDLING

deceitfulcharmer: He can have Electron strolling in to straddle his lap instead ♥

suckmybearings: "MANHANDLE YOUR OWN DEATH."

autobotmedic: ratchet shows back up specifically to break a table over megatron's head

autobotmedic: UNHAND THE WRECKER AND GET OUT

deceitfulcharmer: RATCHET

autobotmedic: HE JUST FIXED HIS VALVE GTFO

deceitfulcharmer: "Then it needs a test run."

autobotmedic: "NO IT DOES NOT."

autobotmedic: how would you like a welding torch to the face

autobotmedic: i apologize he gets mad about his hard work being ruined

suckmybearings: Wheeljack is just sitting off to the side, arms around a heavy beauty, watching the exchange over her shoulder, optics wide.

deceitfulcharmer: "Would you rather your hard work go entirely to waste?"

deceitfulcharmer: Electron sitting there, trying to remain as still as possible, hoping he somehow won't see her.

autobotmedic: "Hwat part of GET OUT is beyond your comprehension?!?!"

deceitfulcharmer: He rolls his optics. "I have no inclination to follow your demands."

autobotmedic: "OPTIMUS!!!!!!!!!"

autobotmedic: FINE I'LL GET SOMEONE WHO CAN ACTUALLY FIGHT YOUR AFT

suckmybearings: Wheeljack flicking his eyes between Ratchet and Megatron, whispering in Electron's audial, "Time to make our escape, gorgeous. 'Bout to get real rough in here when Optimus gets in."

And then with a faint grunt as he steadies her weight against him, clutching her lower half to his abdomen, he gets up from his seat and waddles them away.

autobotmedic: he's protecting your lower extremities and you're going to just LEAVE wj

suckmybearings: DAMNIT, NOW HE FEELS LIKE SLAG, DOC.

autobotmedic: wj: love not war ratch: SINCE WHEN!?!?

deceitfulcharmer: he's making the right move here; the longer he's around, the greater the temptation is for Megatron

suckmybearings: Suddenly, Wheeljack darts back into the room--

suckmybearings: lmao, god he won't do it. It was funny at the time, but now he's standing there in my head, dancing from foot to foot. He was going to snatch Ratchet up, too, and run back out of the room.

deceitfulcharmer: LMAO just leave Megatron standing there

autobotmedic: AGFJSHGF THE MENTAL IMAGE OF RATCH JUST GETTING ABDUCTED BEFORE HE CAN 1 V 1 MEGA (AND REGRET IT)

autobotmedic: CRYING

autobotmedic: what are you doing put me down

First things first, @kitty-meowskers this is your fault. Hope you're proud of yourself.

But also.

WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME HE FIGHTS WITH HIS FISTS, I WOULD HAVE INSTALLED THE GAME IMMEDIATELY (meaning literal hours before I did install it but still, you had one job in trying to convince me to start LADS)

Also also HEHEHE 5-star Sylus card for free

I've decided that I'm not over the "Orym is a manipulator and turning into a villain" takes yet so I'm going to apply that same logic to all of the Bell's Hells

Chetney: Losing control and attacking the party then turning around and being their friend and expecting that friendship in return is manipulative and abusive. Plus the trial he went through to harness the wolf was all about attacking them, how can they possible trust him after that. Not to mention attacking that one shop keeper for no reason and putting the party in further danger because she sent a bounty hunter after him. Very selfish behavior.

FCG: By continuously pushing his view on religion and the Changebringer on the party after they've made it clear they have no interest, FCG makes it clear that he's only thinking of himself. If they really cared about the party then they would respect their view on the gods. It's also very manipulative to try and convince the party that everything is a sign from the Changebringer, especially after they've disagreed multiple times.

Imogen: Defending the Ruby Vanguard and Liliana in front of Laudna, Fearne, and Orym was pretty fucked up. She clearly doesn't care about their trauma and is only thinking about how the red moon situation can benefit her.

Fearne: Stealing from both the party and NPCs puts everyone in danger, but she only thinks about the momentary happiness she gets from it. Ignoring the party when they tell her to not rush in to a situation or lie to someone for no reason shows her clear disregard for their wellbeing.

Ashton: They used party resources to upgrade their weapon without telling the rest of the group. What if someone else wanted to use the immovable rod? Plus the crystals on the end of the hammer could actually backfire and harm the party. It was selfish of him to do so and shows that they only care about what he can get from the group.

Laudna: When the party reunited all Laudna did was complain about her experience in Issylra and made the other group feel guilty about not suffering as much. FCG especially found new joy and a reason to live, but they felt like they couldn't talk about it in front of Laudna. Sure her feelings are valid but she should have thought about the other's feelings before trauma dumping.

See how ridiculous these all sound? It's so easy to twist any character choice in a way that fits your narrative. Orym has been open with the party since the beginning that he's been looking for the people for killed his husband and father for 6 years. Now that he finally has a lead and a way to bring them to justice, he asked the rest of the party to help and they all agreed. He's not manipulating them, he's been clear about his goals since the beginning and the party are all adults who are capable of disagreeing and not helping him.

i had a very vivid dream that ruby's voice was garnet's and they changed her voice to her original voice actor halfway thru the show and there was so much discourse on her gender about it

I've been thinking about alignment, and law and chaos as cosmic forces, and I think dnd made a mistake in having alignment as a thing characters have, law and chaos should be the top level of a faction system

like scrap alignment, replace it with character traits or motivations, or an intimacies system, actual tools for describing your character and what they think

most characters have ties to some sort of organisation, they have a liege lord, they're members of guilds and so on,

your characters are people, they live in this fictional world, they have ties to other people

a lot of people might have ties to religious factions, signed up to the creed of a god or group of gods

(your more temporal ties might have opinions about what divine creed you hold)

in a fantasy world where the gods are without a doubt real and actual meddlesome fucks, temporal organisations possibly have ties to divine organisations, like they are separate and above

most people, even the gods, do not tie themselves directly to law and chaos so much as get pushed around by those cosmic forces but all will have to pick a side eventually (oncoming god war along cosmic lines)

point is you have multiple layers of factions, temporal, divine, cosmic, at least at the start of things, most people have one or more temporal factions, a lot of people have some sort of divine faction, some people have a cosmic faction, and like your membership in lower-level factions has a bit of an effect on the higher up factions

ok with the (not so) recent addition of matt sallee, personally i'd think he'd be a ESFJ and most likely a lawful/neutral good, though I can also see him in neutral good but hey that's just a theory!!

I know SSE's whole oversaturation of Starshine ranch is like. known and obvious but I can't help but think that it's a Little Fucking Weird to put so many horses on the same selling spot that Even with the new system, one of the breeds aren't even shown unless you Specifically Switch In Those Breeds

I hate saying fix your game but SSE I beg please fix the Starshine oversaturation you don't Have to put every western-y horse there just because, the appaloosa were Fine at Steve's just don't have a horse be fucking hidden because most of the players in this game have no idea how to find 90% of the horses available anyways

Also once again where the fuck did that optimisation update go I've had literally like 11 big Freeze spikes in a row, and it's usually not like that

Nevermind turns out they Were moved but point still stands by my own lack of knowledge considering there wasn't a single mention of this on SSE's part (proving both that a) the mustang release is still baffling b) that SSE are bad at telling us things because they have been Awful at that the past months and c) that people Still can't fucking find horses in this game for shit) If nothing else I hope my ticket where it's included makes someone realise they forgot to tell us?

(I know I already have a side account for a Canon character...and I know there's a Sycamore IRL account on here somewhere.)

(BUT. The multiverse. So, what if I made a Sycamore account? May even make it a pair shared account?)
