Comment on Does anyone here have a mind palace? in ~talk
ConfusingDalek Link ParentIt's like my own voice reading it aloud, sort of. Not really aloud, but y'know how when you're thinking, it's like you're talking in your mind? It's like that.

Reading doesn't really "conjure up images" or anything, though. The closest thing I know to imagining in that visual way is how I can kind of plot out my house in my mind, but pretty much just from directions. I can be like "this room is over here, over here is this one" stuff like that, but no visuals.

Something I've discovered in the past is that to "visualize" something, to see it "with your mind's eye," is not very much a euphemism, and more that most are able to do something almost like actually seeing something you remember or imagine, such as "seeing" this mind palace. However, not everyone can visualize things like this. Some people, like myself, don't really see anything at all when using their "mind's eye" to try to imagine or recall something. All I see is the darkness you get when your eyelid is blocking all the light.
The fourth paragraph here briefly says something about what I mean.
Not all people have the same internal perceptual ability. For many, when the eyes are closed, the perception of darkness prevails. However, some people are able to perceive colorful, dynamic imagery.

ConfusingDalek Link ParentAlright. The one I was looking at has a Li-ion battery, which I know is somewhat standard for rechargables (not just in ham).Alright. The one I was looking at has a Li-ion battery, which I know is somewhat standard for rechargables (not just in ham).

I was wondering if there's anybody here who's interested in ham/amateur radio. I'm somewhat interested in it myself, and am planning on getting a BaoFeng BF-F8HP soon as my first radio, as well as a Tech (or maybe even General) license.

But what makes it really unique is that each pixel is simulated. Let's say that you're in an ice cavern, and use a fire spell. It simulates how each pixel of fire interacts with each pixel of ice, determining which pieces of ice will melt into water, based on the fire pixels. Then the water pixels simulate their movement around the cavern. There are a lot of other examples you can see in their trailers when you look it up.

Comment on Daily Tildes discussion - general feedback/questions in ~tildes.official

For example, I...Something I've noticed is that there actually is no search feature, as far as I can tell. It would be nice to be able to search through the site for any posts you may have missed. For example, I wanted to see if there's any posts about ham radio. However, I can't exactly call it up in a search, and as Tildes is not publicly visible, I can't just search "ham radio site:tiles" on google. It would be quite a handy feature to have.

Comment on Good mobile games in ~games
ConfusingDalek Link ParentNo problem! I recommend that as soon as you can, try to get the car called Buster. It has the same approximate speed as the Sedan, more health, and a better gun. You'll find your runs suddenly...No problem! I recommend that as soon as you can, try to get the car called Buster. It has the same approximate speed as the Sedan, more health, and a better gun. You'll find your runs suddenly lasting much longer and getting more chaotic soon after.

You drive around town and pick up people and drop them off wherever they need to go, while dodging and destroying the ever-increasing horde of cop cars. You don't do the aiming manually, although there is a PC version (paid) as well, and you do aim manually in that one.

"Tea, earl gray, hot" if you're unfamiliar and it's a coincidence.Quick question, is your username a reference to Star Trek TNG and the way Capt. Picard always asks the computer for his tea?

I tried for HappyDalek and found that one taken, so I went with Confusing, and here we are.

- I'm not sure I could justify the full $30 for it to myself quite yet, and
- I'm not entirely sure I would enjoy it as much as I hope I would.
I've been listening to some C418 (Dief, Excursions), Boards of Canada (Old Tunes Vol. 2), and Copious by Neo-Fusion (or is it Neo-Fusion by Copious? I honestly can't tell). I'll link that last one here, since it's not well known.
