I'm afraid this means that we're running into the chaos part of physics, where our intellect simply can't possibly comprehend reality to the extend needed for us to manipulate it in such a way to ensure human survival on the long term. Anyway, that's what I was thinking about. Perhaps Order and primordial Chaos are a matter of scale? 1

There are positive attributes of such a lifestyle (peace and quiet as well as tight knit communities being the most notable) but the trade-off is a lack of access to the fruits of centuries of accumulated technological knowledge as well as a diverse skill base afforded by said access to that deep well of knowledge. Can confirm. I had to live in the middle of nowhere for a seasonal job once. In a lot of ways, it was pretty nice. No traffic noises at night, I could go star gazing due to the low level of light pollution, I got to know my neighbors pretty well, and there was plenty of nature to enjoy. But if I needed anything? Shit, it was an ordeal. Peace and quiet is great until you need to drive over an hour and a half round trip just to buy groceries. And if there's something wrong with your car, you better hope it's nothing serious, otherwise you're in for a long couple of days. And to top it all off, the reception and WiFi sucked. If you didn't like jigsaw puzzles, whittling, or reading books before, get ready to enjoy your new hobby. So yeah, tradeoffs.

That is why I am only a little envious.

Also, Mick Gordon is the GOAT. Same here. It is because it plays like a bullet hell shooter rather than a military shooter like Call of Dude Bro or whatever kids are playing these days. Speaking of which. I just noticed a pun.

Reginald_001 Posted July 24 Posted July 24 (edited) 14 hours ago, FauxFurry said: Perhaps Order and primordial Chaos are a matter of scale? Order and Chaos are psychological constructs imposed onto a reality which is defiant of such categorizations, depending on distance and perspective an unordered thing can be considered ordered on a much larger scale. Fractal complexity upon fractal complexity in an almost endless loop. If any idea is relative and subjective, it's Order and Chaos. To an ant, a cement highway will seem like a chaotic mess of rocks. To a human it might be an ordered straight line to their workplace or home. Having said that, chaos is seemingly far more prevalent than order, for example, hundreds years later.. we still can't solve the 3 body problem. But to a cosmic entity, all atoms might seem perfectly arranged, where we only see chaos. My guess is, that the more one learns about reality, the more one realizes it's not something anyone should fully know and understand, but experience instead. Hey.. The Wind cries Mary.

Firstly, the 3 body problem is not chaos in any sense of the word. Secondly it is only a problem to those trying to come up with the maths to explain it. To everyone else it is an irrelevance.

A 'Bullet Hell' while in hell, while playing a war game, and 'war is hell'... As the quote from Wabbajack (the book in TES) goes: Quote Maybe I'm smarter because I know cats can be bats can be rats can be hats can be gnats can be that's can be thises. And that doors can be boars can be snores can be floors can be roars can be spores can be yours can be mine. I must be smart, for the interconnective system is very clear to me. Then why, or wherefore do people keep calling me mad? Wabbajack. Wabbajack. Wabbajack. 1

I always get those two mixed up.

ZHAOMAIMAI Posted July 27 Posted July 27 I need help with an adult mod for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim version 1.6.659. I've been trying to install it myself for two weeks without success, and I'm about to give up. So I'm asking for a modpack here. Thank you.
Wandering_Mania Posted July 27 Posted July 27 ZHAOMAIMAI First things first; Why ask here? Why not ask on the mod's support page? Second; What's with the extra large text, and the attempt at a "notice me Sempi" type of thing? And third; That's a hell of a first post. Looking like a child trying to get attention.
ZHAOMAIMAI Posted July 27 Posted July 27 Since I’m not very familiar with the features of the LoversLab community and couldn't find the mod section, I decided to reach out in various places to see if I could get some help. The reason the text is so large is that I’m not very good at English; I used translation software and copied the result directly—I didn't intentionally make the font that big. I’ll adjust the formatting before posting in the future. I’m not trying to act like a child seeking attention; I just wanted to explain my current situation. If my post made you uncomfortable, I apologize.

On each mod's download page there is a 'Get support' button for that mod (found near the top of the page). It takes you to the mod's dedicated help page. Which looks and acts exactly like this topic. It'd be a better result if asking on the mod's page than in random places. 7 hours ago, ZHAOMAIMAI said: The reason the text is so large is that I’m not very good at English; I used translation software and copied the result directly—I didn't intentionally make the font that big.

If my post made you uncomfortable, I apologize. No, no, there was no 'uncomfortable'. It just looked and seemed odd, even more so for being someone's first post, and on a random thread, asking an out of place question. You see what I'm saying? It all added up to looking highly unusual. Like a scammer tying to get random victims to click on a dangerous link, to use as an example.
