i agree with you, figuring useful and fun UI using touch and swipes is a real challenge. but ive never seen someone whip out a bluetooth joypad for their phone in public.
Everyone in the replies here is sleeping on the raw emulation power of most people's phone, doubly so if you're willing to bt sync a controller to it. I've got a significant percentage of the SNES and PS1 libraries playable on mine.
Really depends on your definition of best. I think the PS2 and the Xbox 360 were the last great consoles, they’re the best in my book but they obviously aren’t too common anymore.
I think if that argument holds any water it’s that rock music was originally an offshoot of blues music, which was predominantly an African American music genre in it’s beginning.
I searched it up a bit, and apparently Card is pretty vehemently homophobic. Which really sucks and is really strange. It sucks because i do enjoy his books, and they were honestly part of what got me into sci-fi. It’s really strange though since the moral of pretty much every single book of his is understanding, empathy, and compassion.
It’s been a while so I don’t remember anything concrete, but I remember characters being described with a strange amount of detail in racial or ethnic features, like height or nose shape. I don’t think he ever explicitly describes any race as superior to others, but some of the passages felt like it was going to devolve into some weird analysis of skull dimpling or something.
He’s really fun at parties. Hates oppressive, overreaching powers. Destroys anyone that opposed the freedoms of his followers with a literal plant stem. I don’t see many drawbacks.
I mean, define “scientific”. A currently-held, consensus theory? Because it’s easy to find theories that were developed in accordance with scientific theory, held for a while, but discarded.
In physics, aether theories (also known as ether theories) propose the existence of a medium, a space-filling substance or field as a transmission medium for the propagation of electromagnetic or gravitational forces. “Since the development of special relativity, theories using a substantial aether fell out of use in modern physics, and are now replaced by more abstract models.”
The Big Bang Theory, … and this despite the fact that I believe the universe is expanding now. This expansion is still accelerating so the small acceleration itself could result in the expansion (speed distribution) without having to postulate an extremely rapid acceleration at time zero and other ludicrous extreme physical conditions.
… and yes I know also about the cosmological microwave background’s perfect black body curve and such observations.
Is there a competing theory you find more compelling? "I don't know what happened" is fine, but if there's something else I haven't heard of that could explain the facts as we know them I'm interested in learning about it.
Cosmic Inflation is a good one to read up on if you never have. Because the slow acceleration we observe right now in the expansion is actually vastly inadequate to explain what we see now, so the big bang theory currently involves spacetime itself having to go through a few phase changes that are hard to wrap your head around.
I believe one of the theories for a multiverse is that Inflation never ended, it is just a continually ongoing process in which out universe “bubbled” out of it. Other universes would have bubbled up too, and we “should” be able to see evidence of collisions between those other bubbles and our own bubble in the CMB, which there has been a little bit of success in finding.
I don’t believe that fire played as big as a role in early human development that scientists claim. There are cases of modern humans eating raw rotten meat and being fine. A lot of the chemical shit that goes down when meat rots has a lot of the same effects of cooking it. There are plenty of ways to do a thing and we should view it as lots of useful things instead of one end all.
Do you mean early human development biologically, or early human development overall (including culturally)? Because if the latter, humans using fire to cook meat was probably significantly less important than humans using fire for heat and light.
I think the answer is complicated. Homo erectus, the first homo species thought to use fire and our direct ancestors were as close to obligate carnivores as there is in the homo genus, but they focused on big animals with a lot of fat like hippos and elephants. They likely did not cook that fat, because it would store just fine without doing so.
I know Greek mythology is very centered on the idea of fire being a defining things that made man civilizable. From Prometheus to the sacredness around keeping hearths lit.
Curious how many other mythos carry on those ideas tbh
