I had it running on Windows (no container) a while back. Wasn’t particularly difficult at that time, at least.

Can’t give any advice here though, since all we’ve been given to work with is an OS.

(I’m glad you did, because I hated it, haha.)

They were definitely on grass.

I feel like everyone has their preferred builds they kind of gravitate to and feel comfortable with. That, and for me, a lot of luck to make up for my lack of skill lol.

Noita.

I’ve gotten the Greed ending once (defeating Kolmisilmä and “completing” The Work), but I’ve never even considered attempting the true ending.

I’m at the age now where I’m thinking about getting into it.

Agreed. I was never a “math kid”, so when I got to university, I was very surprised that a large part of what I learned in my math courses was actually philosophy.

That shift in paradigm instantly made me interested in math, weirdly enough. Turns out I love math, I’m just not a fan of numbers, haha.

Phew okay. In that case, I do agree that a hyper-aggressive species could be the Filter, though it’s worth noting that our radio signals have actually reached further than our furthest probe, so I would go off that when doing round-trip destruction calculations. I love Mass Effect’s take on this idea (though I haven’t played 3).

As for why I asked women: Mostly because I thought the non-sequitur was funny.

I believe that science, math, are more inextricably linked to philosophy than people tend to think.

While my idea is particularly half-cocked, the Great Filter theory is an important question for us as a species to answer. If evidence ever came to light that there is some challenge awaiting us that could wipe out our species, it would behoove us to at least be aware that such a challenge exists - even without necessarily knowing any specifics.

I gotta admit, I really wanted to like 3BP on Netflix, but imo they added way too much “personal drama”. It’s like they intended to sprinkle it on and the lid came off the container lol. It was worth it just to see the ship though.

If you’re interested, here’s an article that breaks down the “Great Filter” theory pretty well imo:

No offense intended, but do you identify as male? I can’t even be having this conversation if you do.

That’s exactly what I mean. Like, even if a civilization set out at near-light speed a long time before triggering a vacuum decay, the decay would just catch up to them and wipe them out before they could reach us. It’s a theory absolutely rife with holes, but it’s an interesting possibility.

I’ll gladly accept nonbinary!

Yeah, the sociological side of “quantified” intelligence has a whole host of issues.

I can’t guarantee I’ll watch that video, but I can guarantee I intend to watch it when I can.

Generally speaking, though, I do agree that most people’s idea of “intelligence” is very anthro-centric, if that’s what you mean.

You should join the circus with that incredible skill at leaping.

Yes. I’m a guy, and I would love to get a girl’s take on this.

Do you think Fermi’s “Great Filter” is not necessarily that a civilization destroys itself, but that it discovers a way to destroy the Universe?

Like, maybe the fabric of our reality is more fragile than we realize, and the reason we don’t see “aliens” is that the universe doesn’t get old enough for intelligent life to meet.

Of course, this assumes we are in a statistically “average” Universe, since presumably there could be a Universe in which intelligent life co-evolves within the same solar system.

Ozymandias, because it’s one of the very few I’ve read, and I liked it.

This is the only answer that matters right here.

“Too much.”
