so apparently some people are making a new engine for daggerfall with some modern design sensibilities and it's actually playable now through most of the main game

we should try this sometime

we need to fix up our audio library... got some albums with wrong names and stuff, or with the album field filled in as "(Album) disc 1" and "(Album) disc 2" which our player reads as two separate albums, which is annoying when you get cases of four+ disc sets

and then sometimes some tracks in an album have the album field as "(Video Game) Soundtrack" and others as "(Video Game) OST" and others still as (Video Game) OSV" and it's a mess

what happened to mp2, anyway? you get mpeg, which i assume is mp1, and you get mp3 and mp4, but where'd mp2 go? and why can't mp3 do video?

i have been told that it actually does just go away, because the universe taken as a whole is not time-symmetric and thus conservation of energy does not apply by Noether's theorem

i have also been encouraged to look at some videos pbs spacetime did about this so i will look into those tomorrow probably because right now it's late

do you ever just wonder

where does the energy go from redshifted photons

if a photon of green light at 500 nanometers is emitted and then travels through space for a while, the expansion of the universe causes it to redshift until it's, say, a red photon of 700 nanometers

that's a loss of over an entire electronvolt

where did that energy go?

fun fact: there's a large region of space that seems to have significantly less *stuff* in it than would be expected by our models, and we don't really know why

can someone in the UK explain what this "nectar" thing is that ebay apparently does over there? i keep seeing it when techmoan shows an image of an ebay listing for something and am kinda curious what it is and why they don't do it over here
