i am ashamed at how long it took me to realise what your blog's banner is. i thought it was some abstract painting or something and then i actually paid attention and. it is just like a photo of some trees at sunset? it's a nice photo though, ngl, where is it from? central america?

...it is from minecraft.

#answered #I. LOOK ALL MY BLOG'S GRAPHICS ARE JUST MINECRAFT SCREENSHOTS #i think the only non-standard thing is the sunset is shaded a little differently? #but like. it's just. a minecraft screenshot... #of. randomly generated terrain.......

Do you know how specific scent training is? Like if you train a dog to find mallards they can find other ducks, but they're not going to indicate at sparrows for instance. So how specific is it?

Hi! So short answer - depends on the dog and how well they contextualize.

If you have a dog predisposed to finding birds, they're probably going to find all birds and then generally learn which ones you (the human) care about. So say for example your dog shows you a crow, a sparrow, a mallard, a teal, and a finch. You reward the mallard and the teal, and you ignore the others. Eventually your dog will release that you only care about some birds and their indication on crows and sparrows amd finches will fade.

If, on the other hand, you have to teach a dog to indicate birds from scratch, you might have to contextualize more. So you'd teach your dog that you reward when they look at ducks in a pond, and then they'd seek out ducks in a pond (hopefully). Then you'd have to teach that you reward when they find ducks in a field. Then ducks on a path in the woods. Then you might have to teach them that you don't care about herons in the pond. And so on and on, depending how quickly they understand what you're rewarding.

It really depends on what connection your dog makes in their puppy brain, and there isn't a good way to control that. But it's a fun thing to try anyway, especially if it's something you and your dog find enriching!

#asks #anon #it isnt so much as 'teach your dog to find mallards and theyll find ducks' #thats not the best example because usually you dont use a dog to find ducks #(ducks live in water so you just go around to ponds to look for them) #a better example is if you teach your dog to find spruce grouse they might find other grouse #but thats not really true either #generally for bird dogs you need to train them on each species you want to hunt #which makes sense because each species lives in different habitats in different environments #so you might have to run your dog in forests for spruce grouse AND alpine terrain for ptarms AND fields for sharpies #before they understand what theyre looking for #its obviously easier for dogs predisposed to finding birds #because they only need a few encounters to form a strong connection #but baby bird dogs point or flush songbirds all the time! #you just have to reward what you want them to find and ignore what you dont want #and hope they make the correct associations in their puppy brains #i looooove talking about this btw #i have read and watched sooooo much on bird dog training for aroris #i am so happy to answer these tysm

I haven't finished the main storyline of No Man's Sky yet (it's my second-most played game on Steam, after an idle game that I keep open for most of the day in the background; I started playing it in late July). But this feels like the thesis statement of the game, and I love it.

The world is ending in 16 minutes (16 weeks, years, lifetimes, millions of years, who's to say). Nothing here can be saved. What else matters?

Your experience of the world you have. What you make of it.

#no man's sky #primary gripes with the game: #I wish the animal generation were weirder and more unpredictable #I wish oceans went deeper #I wish terrain wouldn't regenerate in bases.... #I wish there could be a higher limit on objects you could have in a base #maybe some more dramatic terrain #...the first two are the big ones I'd really petition for though #I want animals I don't expect and after a while you rarely run into those #the repeated plants and rocks bother me less but the animals.... #idc if they move weird #have you seen those stupid bipedal bearcats? #(idk what else to call them #they're like bipedal bearcats and sometimes they have wings and they walk SO STUPIDLY)

Prickly Spore Pod

Durability Test:

Max Durability: 14 (Everything???) Radius: 12 pixels Mana Cost: 20 mana Soft Material Efficiency: 7.2 pixels squared per mana Danger: Non player safe. Explosion, fire, and projectile damage. Uses: infinite Examples:

Left is a practical example of me using it in a run. Right is a contrived example of trying to convert cursed rock to dirt using Long Distance Cast + Prickly Spore Pod, and then using chainsaw to clear away the dirt. This is the most surprising one for me so far. It seems that this spell can convert any material into soil (a few pixels at a time). And together with an explosion that can just barely destroy soil, this is a recipe for digging through any material. This is the worst universal digging I have covered so far. Atleast Touch Of Smoke makes clean holes.

#noita #digging #spell showcase #if I didn't use the durability scale I would have assumed it only generated dirt on top of things like the arrow #but it turns out that both spores and arrows can replace terrain with soil

They're working very hard to balance out our fear

#stubborn and hunted i mean #they're trying very hard to balance each other #it is so fascinating to me that if you yhink you can lure den out to more advantageous terrain them arguing will straight up kill you #even though that's kinda the same thing they agree on doing with the eye of the needle #well‚ prolly because hunted is scared of den more‚ stubborn is convinced one solid punch is enough‚ #and generally they seem to trust each other less to get the job done #if you weren't so damn scared of what she'd do to you we wouldn't have died something something #vs we died because you didnt have enough of it

DRG is legit so beautiful

#i legit frequently stop running around madly like a short madman to appreciate the scenery #this game is really gorgeous #surprisingly the lack of proper lightning actually makes tou appreciate what you Can see so much more #and the game takes places in literal caves so it avoids the 'empty field' problem of the open rng generated spaces #plus the generation works with terrain too its never just flat ground #anyway drg is gorgeous i love it #currently in the process of developing a terminal obsession with the male fantasy tm the game #this game is a real gem i love it #the best news is this desease is spreading as the newest ghostship post with statistics shows the game is being sold more and more each year #rock and stone brothers! #deep eock galactic #drg

this alone will ensure america's power and prosperity for centuries to come.

#the amazon and the congo are probably bigger #but the mississippi river system is so much more developed #both in terms of river infrastructure but also the cities built around it #and just generally the system is almost entirely contained in the usa #and it's relatively easy-to-traverse terrain #i mean there aren't like thousands of km of dense rainforest or giant rugged mountains #it's mostly rolling hills and flat plains and woodlands #so yeah those other river systems might be bigger #but the mississippi is not only huge but it's well developed and entirely controlled by a single nation #the other rivers are underdeveloped and split between several nations #so it would be a lot more difficult for any of those countries to fully utilize it #not to say those rivers wouldn't greatly benefit those nations anyway #i just don't think they're going to turn those countries into superpower levels on their own anytime soon #i think the yangtze is more comparable than these others #and likewise it has sustained chinese civilization for millennia #i think the mississippi will do the same for american civilization

me looking for new terrains to replace the terrain of my custom hood because every single year i change it at least three times and act like it will be the last time and i’m finally happy with it

#heyyy i'm back #my neighborhood: *bombastic side eye* #thank god for hoodreplace #i live in that program #tbh the current terrain is fine but literally it doesn't have any space left #new generations are coming!!! #(idk how cause all my sims are single and nerds) #but they are doing their best ok :'-)

[image ID: the vault portal in a sky vaults start for vault hunters 3rd edition. there is a crafting table and a chest, and it is night. the player has about a fourth of a vault level. /end ID]

it exists it's real now i have played. two vaults before reluctantly sitting down because i have SO MUCH nano to catch up on. but playing through vaults IMMEDIATELY is so much fun. i am bad at them. i died in my first vault. but that is okay because i have casual vaults on and also i DIDN'T die in my second vault. sky vaults is interesting because like... i have to go into the vaults with no armor whatsoever to get resources so that someday maybe i can get armor. changes how i play i won't be looting for a WHILE. i did get saplings in that second vault though and like... a quarter of a level from me panic punching a bunch of mobs i accidentally spawned! i'm excited to play through more of this, this being skyblock and letting me start out at the beginning is very exciting, since it cuts out the vanilla grind part of vault hunters entirely for me. for now though back to writing,

#if i manage to eventually make my island pretty. i'll share screenshots #i am DETERMINED to play this #it's actually also running way WAY better than vault hunters did on my computer when i tried to play 2nd edition #i think largely because it doesn't have to generate terrain #the first vault froze up for a bit but like. its fine it fixed itself #THE FACT I GET XP FROM FIGHTING MOBS IS ALSO IMMENSELY HELPFUL #since it allows me to sloooowly start building up xp here in the beginning
