This rendering for you guys?
@rime dangit
It's a recent unicode glyph that looks exactly like a GoL glider
@niplav Oh, I forgot to mention. Your mention of "GoL glider" here caused me to have an interesting observation one to three days later.
@niplav We call them "gliders" now:
- When me and Maria are trying to wander memories or dreams, sometimes something's slightly off, like the incline of the ground beneath us, or the relative sizes of our avatars, or just some object which is just dimensionally *off* in some way.
@niplav
- Then when I try to deliberately correct this (eg adjust the angle of the floor), often the correction goes whack, and ends up being overcorrected by a million degrees, or it ends up wobbling back and forth around the value we want it at.
- Once this gets going, it's really hard to stop; it has a life of its own, and conscious intervention just makes it more whack.
- It's like an earworm (music) that can't be suppressed.
@rime yeah, I was thking of this kind of phenomenon a couple of days ago
A correction - convergence oscillation
@rime also, you're leaving?! Do you have a time frame for coming back?
@rime cool, I expected you to have thought about this thoroughly
High variance for sure, I look forward to seeing wjat you make of it and how you save the world
@niplav I won't do it unless I can do it happily, or w a small temporary dip in a period of adjustment. I'm 32, and know depression can snowball if gets going. It'd be stupid to risk it bc stubborn.
@niplav race u to it :p
❤️🔥
@rime may the better one win
@niplav Hv lurned much control motivations and be happy, so seems possible to isolate "fully"¹ for 0.5-1y. Prob fail tho, and prob fizzle benefits; but peak potential seems high, and I always try sample for tail outcomes. 🦊
¹There are some obligs I can't isolate from, however. E.g. if I don't respond to emails from family, they might call police.
