you know what would be a really good tool for modded minecraft? Something that gives you a GUI for modifying things like worldgen (easily turn off worldgen in most of the mods that add copper, for instance, so you only have one type of copper ore), loot tables, and recipes (for when your modpack should have custom recipes)

bonus points if it has fun movement abilities like the harry potter games' spongify and carpe retractum

random thought: has anyone ever made another game in the style of the early Harry Potter pc games? like, 3d platformer kind of thing where you learn magic abilities that let you get to new places almost metroidvania-style, with minimal focus on combat and large focus on secrets to find and interesting level design

good morning it is too early

the fractional quantum hall effect is weird because the words "fractional" and "quantum" just don't go together, that's kind of the whole point

it feels weird that there are regions of operation where the conduction losses in a power MOSFET can be higher than those of a similarly rated power IGBT but such is the case regardless

apparently the super metroid speedrunning community calls the trick where you go really fast in morph ball mode a "mock ball"... and yes, that's how they spell it. not mach ball, which would make sense, but mock ball, which doesn't

niobium.

someone said something before about what this sort of network activity means, but we can't recall what the word was

today is a day of weird mh. not particularly good, maybe a little bad but not extremely? but just. bleh

unrelated to anything at all, http://falstad.com/circuit/ is fun to play with

if anyone's interested even a little bit in electrical engineering it's a great tool for building your understanding of how basic components work, better than LTspice or other spice-based simulators for that specifically (though it's definitely not as good for actual engineering work)

plus it's just kinda fun to see how things interact. play with the examples in the circuits dropdown!

people are talking about turnips a lot and it's made us realize

i don't think we've ever eaten a turnip, or seen a recipe that involved them

what are they used for?

@OldRedSun Hi! Did you read my profile before sending that follow request?

how does an operational transconductance amplifier work anyway and what are they used for that op amps can't do

introducing: the Lag Sheep

it's just a perfectly ordinary sheep, except for some inexplicable reason this single sheep causes inordinate amounts of lag
