In the darkest of nights, you won't be scared, UNTIL the red pigeon arrives
Wow this is really cool. Thanks
How are engine sounds in racing games played ?
For example in forza, the game plays engine sounds based on how much we press the button. Are there different sequences of clips ? If yes how do they blend so well ? Or are they synthesized dynamically ?
There are so many parts to it as well - when the gear shifts, when you suddenly slow down at high speed, when you suddenly accelerate from stop. They all seem very realistic.
Edit: Thanks for the great answers everyone 🙏
Isn't web scraping copying ?
What are some marketing tactics that you dislike ?
For me it is when companies/services market themselves as donating to XYZ cause if I buy their product. If they want to donate, they should have already done that with the money they have. Asking me to give them profit so that they can donate is so obviously pretentious.
Product placements in it are terrible too
"Drake's coffee cakes ..."
The show has brought a lot of cringey memories to my life 🤢
Ok. I see now, you are just talking crap with intentional misinterpretation just for the sake of argument.
I'm glad that you understood my point though, otherwise you won't take this stupid tangent. Try to apply it in life.
This is my last comment on this. Have a nice day.
You are assuming my ethnicity wrong, but I'll go with it.
If I go to a restaurant where they specifically say it is disrespectful to eat something in a certain way, I would respect that. Or if I don't agree with it, I won't have food at their restaurant.
But I won't go to the restaurant just to prove their way of eating is wrong. That is where your dumb attitude comes in. You are basically the equivalent of wearing clown clothes to a funeral just because you don't agree with the etiquettes.
Learn to live among people, or live in your hole.
They are offering you a service and they follow a certain etiquette to have it, which is part of the service. If you can't follow it, don't be a customer.
Of course, the one that you make.
But if you are going to have it from a chef who says so at their restaurant, show some respect to their culture or else spend your money elsewhere.
It is funny to see comments like these trying to find creative ways of being pedantic lol
You have 15$. How would you spend it so that you'll be the happiest you can be for 15$ ?
And yes you have to spend it all
Edit: There are a lot of little good things in these answers that I often ignore. Thanks everyone.
You are Luke, aren't you ?
In the dance of life's sweet song, Do what makes your heart beat strong. Chase the moments, find your glee, Let your spirit wander free.
Smile more often, bright and wide, In the little joys, confide. Love yourself just as you are, You’re a shining, splendid star.
Confidence in self you'll find, Brings a peace of heart and mind. Then one day, when least you see, Love will come, a sweet surprise to be.
With your mate, those joys will grow, Every smile, a brighter glow. Tiny treasures, once so small, Now with them, you cherish all.
Hand in hand, your hearts will soar, Love yourself and them even more. Life’s a tale of joy and cheer, Happily ever after, year by year.

As an answer to your question OP - Once I met my mate, I felt bad for treating myself so badly all those years before it.
This answer is purely fictional:
Imagine all the rain drops forming a film of glass. Now this glass is curved like a cylinder since rain is basically water flowing from a pipe in the sky. So you are looking at the sun through a curved glass hence you see the curved bow. Now your eyes are spherical in shape, hence the light reflected off the cylinder will appear in colours. Go outside and look at any cylinder, you'll see rainbow colours.
(if I'm wrong please correct me)
Imagine all those raindrops together form a small film of glass. Now that glass is curved like a cylinder since rain is basically water flowing from a pipe in the sky. Hence the curved shape.
The colours - physics ✨
Come on. Stop reading the comments. Go check the article.
I mostly subscribe to tech and news, which is mostly sad. I get suggestions to subscribe to Cyanide and Happiness which is supposed to be sad (I guess). Interesting suggestions, thanks 👍
How to get a bit more positivity in the Lemmy feed ?
I know a lot of shitty things are happening in the world right now. But I get this feeling that most of the posts I see in lemmy feed are sad or depressing.
Are there any uplifting communities that I'm missing out on ?
Edit1: Thanks for the suggestions everyone
No longer a minor, but still a kid for not understanding it !
What's the point of this feature ? If it were not evil, what problem would it solve ? How often do you go to your PC and think "what was that thing I saw but never thought to create a bookmark or save the link/image".
Even if people use it, it would be for something they missed because they thought it was unimportant or didn't interest them, which is a very rare use case.
And still it is a highlight feature !
I wonder if it is lack of ideas or lack of commitment to create a good idea , given a technology, when these kinds of useless features are launched.
Only a stupid person would compare rocket fuels to brain implants. Are you Elon ?
Or they can just talk to each other and resolve the dispute
What are some things that you like to watch in the side or in the background when you do stuff ?
Edit: I'm basically looking for new topics to explore to add to my YouTube feed/subscriptions 😁
Edit2: Great recommendations. Thank you everyone
Using gaming controllers for anything other than gaming ?
Wondering if anyone has experimented with using controllers (PS/xbox/other) to do anything other than gaming ?
Is there any movie in which the actor naturally aged and portrayed the younger and older version of character ? Not a prequel sequel thing. One movie.
Just wondering if someone was committed enough to make such a movie
Are the languages that can be fluently spoken only if you are descendent of a particular community/country ?
I find it amazing that if a child is brought up in a community/country different from the origin of the child, the child is still able to pick up and speak their language fluently. Our ability, as humans, to imitate and communicate is incredibly complex regardless of where we are from.
So my question is, is there a language that cannot be spoken like this? One which only people with a certain genetic advantage can speak fluently during upbringing.
Of course anyone can learn a language by putting effort into it. My question is only for one learnt during upbringing (native language).
(Not sure why my responses are downvoted. I'm a non-native English speaker. Sorry if I didn't communicate something properly. It's just a scientific curiosity.)
