Thinkin bout the headless men and other ancient types of guys again. Medieval bestiaries have taken over my life

@jonny When I finally finish my story on highly derived humans, I'll include headless men vibing on their own just for you.

liohong,
@liohong@mastodon.social avatar

@jonny That should be doable. Unrelatedly, I have a monkey's paw scenario: the headless men keep appearing without actually having any narrative significance. Like Pandaman in One Piece.

@jonny something something anti-mimetic anomalous humanoids like Ordinary Japanese People

@jonny Ah, it's an SCP article about beings that appear human to certain people: https://scp-wiki.wikidot.com/scp-2478

@Sheril The Pokemon and Digimon panels look surprisingly good as minis. BTW Digivolution in the Season 1 2020 reboot is real eyecandy if you haven't seen it yet.

@jonny @jonny On top of including black Ethiopians in a bestiary of humanoids, apparently there's another kind of black people, which is doubly unusual to the author. But of course this view makes sense when the Anglo-Saxons and their kind are the true humans.

@jonny My judgment of the Marvels was probably premature, but thanks for acknowledging how fear very easily leads to antagonism and de-humanisation.

For the record, Xingtian is very much 'local man too angry to die'.

Ok im gonna need to do a little background reading for #monsterdon today to know the status of this movie

@jonny Good luck. Based on Minecraft chest and shulker box shenanigans, this could quickly lead to save corruption.

@jonny A lot of the bugs seem to arise from transports. I'm honestly surprised there's not much mention of nesting transports aside from this and a few others:

If any unit that can attack from within a Battle Fortress was placed in a Battle Fortress, then into an Amphibious Transport, then moved elsewhere, the player would still retain the ability to attack from the location where the Battle Fortress was loaded, even though the unit is no longer there. This has been fixed.

    Pretty incredible how quickly TikTok has become a place where people get their news https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2023/11/15/more-americans-are-getting-news-on-tiktok-bucking-the-trend-seen-on-most-other-social-media-sites/

    @gabriel Makes one wonder what kind of questions they were expecting. "Alexa, should I move to Australia or Hawaii for my career even if it means uprooting my family?"

    "Actually, we will read your thesis" by Neel Krishnaswami https://semantic-domain.blogspot.com/2023/09/actually-we-will-read-your-thesis.html

    "whenever I find a paper I don't understand, I start looking for the PhD thesis based on it. Nine times out of ten, the thesis is vastly more understandable: "obvious" lemmas will have explicit proofs, algorithms will have detailed pseudocode, and the right intuitions and perspectives to take about the topic will be spelled out."

    Can relate. A colleague of mine, Stefan Pulver, once mentioned to me the "strategic reserve of Michael Bate's lab PhD student theses" as something of wonder – he was a postdoc in that lab. Huge amounts of data not deemed splashy enough for publication but full of details and caveats and protocols for studies of #Drosophila larvae #neuroscience.
