Hi yes I would like to start down this rabbit hole please because I'm totally normal about this ... I am convinced Jon and Martin are part of a tape drive. It links with the tapes from TMA and the trailer for TMP especially with the opening computer screen (I already posted about my thoughts on that).

What is a tape drive?

A tape drive is a device that stores computer data on magnetic tape, especially for backup and archiving purposes. Like an ordinary tape recorder, a tape drive records data on a loop of flexible celluloidlike material that can be read and also erased.

Tape drives differ from hard disk drives (HDDs) and solid-state drives (SSDs) in the way data is read and written to the storage media. Tapes store data sequentially, whereas HDDs and SSDs use rotating disks with rapidly moving seek heads, nonmoving flash memory or similar technology to transfer data.

Drives come in many sizes and capabilities. They are sold as standalone units or stacked in data center racks, creating tape libraries. The tapes themselves are often housed in sealed cassettes that can be inserted into the drive and activated.

There are several benefits to using tape drives, particularly for backup and archival uses. They include the following:

Capacity. Tapes have a large capacity for storing data when compared to HDDs.

Low cost. They are economical when compared to other storage media.

Life span. Tapes stored in a suitable environment can last for decades, an important factor for archival storage.

Transportable. Tapes can be easily moved from one location to another and are considered off-line storage.

Disaster recovery. Tape is often the storage medium of choice for data backup and DR. Storing critical systems and data on tape creates an air gap between systems that are at risk from cyber attacks simply by removing the tape cassette from the drive.

Security. Today, tapes support encryption such as Advanced Encryption Standard-256 and provide varying levels of data protection.

Evelyn Berezin in 1976 at the Long Island office of her company Redactron. She developed one of the earliest word processors and helped usher in a technological revolution. Evelyn Berezin said her word processor would help secretaries become more efficient at their jobs. Photo By Barton Silverman/New York Times.

Evelyn Berezin, “Godmother of the Word Processor!” The Woman That Made Bill Gates and Steve Jobs Possible

Evelyn Berezin (1925-2018) was born in the Bronx to poor Russian-Jewish immigrants. Growing up, she loved reading science fiction and wished to study physics. She excelled at school and graduated two years early. Berezin had to wear make-up and fake her age to get a job at a research lab. She ended up studying economics because it was a more “fitting” subject for women at the time. During World War II, she finally received a scholarship to study physics at New York University. Berezin studied at night, while working full time at the International Printing Company during the day. She continued doing graduate work at New York University, with a fellowship from the US Atomic Energy Commission. In 1951, she joined the Electronic Computer Corporation, designing some of the world’s very first computers. At the time, computers were massive machines that could only do several specific functions.

Evelyn Berezin, “Godmother of the Word Processor.” Born: April 12, 1925, The Bronx, New York City, NY — Died: December 8, 2018, ArchCare at Mary Manning Walsh Nursing Home & Rehabilitation Center, New York, NY

Berezin headed the Logic Design Department, and came up with a computer to manage the distribution of magazines, and to calculate firing distances for US Army artillery. In 1957, Berezin transferred to work at Teleregister, where she designed the first banking computer and the first computerized airline reservation system (linking computers in 60 cities, and never failing once in the 11 years that it ran). Her most famous feat was in 1968 when she created the world’s first personal word processor to ease the plight of secretaries (then making up 6% of the workforce).

“Without Ms. Berezin There Would Be No Bill Gates, No Steve Jobs, No Internet, No Word Processors, No Spreadsheets; Nothing That Remotely Connects Business With The 21st Century.” — The Times of Israel (12 December 2018)

The following year, she founded her own company, Redactron Corporation, and built a mini-fridge-sized word processor, the “Data Secretary”, with a keyboard and printer, cassette tapes for memory storage, and no screen. With the ability to go back and edit text, cut and paste, and print multiple copies at once, Berezin’s computer freed the world “from the shackles of the typewriter”. The machine was an in instant hit, selling thousands of units around the world. Berezin’s word processor not only set the stage for future word processing software, like Microsoft Word, but for compact personal computers in general. It is credited with being the world’s first office computer. Not surprisingly, it has been said that without Evelyn Berezin “there would have been no Bill Gates, and no Steve Jobs”.

Evelyn Berezin Pioneered Word Processors and Butted Heads With Men! A ‘loud woman,’ she studied physics and found that to get to the top she had to start her own company. Evelyn Berezin later became a mentor to entrepreneurs, venture capitalist and director of companies. Photo: Berezin Family. Wall Street Journal

“Why Is This Woman Not Famous?” British Writer Gwyn Headley Wrote In A 2010 Blog Post. — The Times of Israel

Redactron grew to a public company with over 500 employees. As president, she was the only woman heading a corporation in the US at the time, and was described as the “Most Senior Businesswoman in the United States”. Redactron was eventually bought out by Burroughs Corporation, where Berezin worked for several more years. In 1980, she moved on to head a venture capital group investing in new technologies. Berezin served on the boards of a number of organizations, including Stony Brook University and the Brookhaven National Laboratory, and was a sought-after consultant for the world’s biggest tech companies.

She was a key part of the American Women’s Economic Development Corporation for 25 years, training thousands of women in how to start businesses of their own, with a success rate of over 60%. In honour of her parents, she established the Sam and Rose Berezin Endowed Scholarship, paying tuition in full for an undergraduate science student each year. Sadly, Berezin passed away earlier this month. She left her estate to fund a new professorship or research centre at Stony Brook University. Berezin won multiple awards and honourary degrees, and was inducted into the Women in Technology International Hall of Fame.

Future Anime Girl Gestalt

As a breakthrough in silicon nanostructure materials makes photonics and near-eye displays cheap, smart glasses become the new ubiquitous computers, replacing smartphones. The always-on display provides unique opportunities for advertisers, as does new machine learning-assisted ad targeting. In the new omnipresent augmented reality, ads become personalized, three-dimensional, interactive displays, emerging from blank rectangles in subway stations. You see your facebook friends conversing animatedly, drinking budweiser.

As smart glasses become increasingly necessary for modern life, brands are able to invade further into perceived reality. Cars shine luxuriously. The name and price of your coworker's smartwatch floats above it. Of course many modern advertisements no longer directly sell a product or service, but rather create and maintain brand identities. Large corporations advertise on everyday objects--the plate at your favorite restaurant reveals the name of a software company as you finish your food. Your brother's anger turns him super saiyan, reminding you of the new episodes. A poor neighborhood turns into an alien-inspired techno-organic nightmare.

Many companies use characters to perpetuate their brand. These characters can be personalized--the insurance company mascot that shows up on your car dashboard during a harrowing rush hour is your favorite color, features large, expressive eyes, and is covered in shaggy fur.

Of course, machine learning algorithms can be unpredictable. And ad agencies could not anticipate the omnivalent memetic power of...

...anime girls.

The algorithm customizes your pepsi soda into a fizzy anime slime girl. They customize the call to your healthcare provider to raise the pitch of the representative's voice and translate the audio to Japanese (your glasses display English subtitles). The missiles you see striking a city in Iran are ridden by pale, northrop grumman-labeled anime maids.

As more human agency is ceded to enormous, power-chugging processing centers, the connections between everyday occurrences and brand presence become more abstract. Every character on a show you're not paying attention to, every old shoe you own, every person you interact with, every grain of sand on the beach, every floater in your eye, is an anime girl.

As humans do, they adapt. Generation Glass becomes accustomed to experiencing two entirely foreign sets of sense-data: one, their local, mundane world, of humming processors and concrete and scraggly trees. The other, the networked world, where your entire visual field is painted in overlapping anime girls of various sizes and your auditory vestibular nerve is drowned in high-pitched giggling. Each girl represents some object--pomegranate, sunset, friends, love, death.

As global civilization gently deflates under the pressure of climate change post-2100, so does the capacity to manufacture complex electronics. Within the space of a generation, billions of people are reduced to creating facile, vapid illustrations of the moving, living anime girls they once knew as bigotry and tarmac. Pictures of anime girls are used to label street signs, mathematical concepts, genders, religious texts. Ironically, anime girls become more incorporated into the real world than they ever were in the Glass period, because they adorn real surfaces. A post-traumatic behavior develops, in which a person destroys objects bearing anime girl images in an attempt to, according to one individual, "let them out," or otherwise restore networked consensus reality.

Thousands of years pass. Peregrine sophists of the Fifth Yyrzoc clan uncover an underground concrete structure. In it are glyphs of a single, big-eyed, pale, skinny, large-breasted woman with bright blue hair, surrounded by female figures in blood-red uniforms who are collapsed on the ground. The sophists are able to decode this message and avoid what we would recognize as a nuclear waste storage facility. They theorize that the figures are ancient feminine gods of radiation and death. Several etchings and illustrations are published by a notable scriptorium. Years later they are largely forgotten.

Hi fellow doll, I hope you're doing fine. I've been quite busy lately, college and life in general have been kicking my ass, so I was forced to take a step back from social media for a while to try to contain the chaos.

Firstly, I'd like to share a fun fact with you! I don't know if you're aware but did you know that Lou's Mansion has a Pool? You can see it more clearly in the Mansion's Concept Designs/Art on this site:

•https://www.claytonstillwell.com/ugly-dolls#23

However, the real reason for this ask is to present a possible answer/theory in regards to how the doll-sized phones came to be in the world of your stories (you can tell this is still related to our chat on Wattpad).

Recently, I came across the images you're seeing on Pinterest. They're Wide/Aerial Views of the Institute of Perfection and one thing that immediately stood out to me is that Giant Eye-Catching Dome behind the TV.

I mean what's its purpose, why is it even there to begin with and what's inside of it? I've been thinking about this for a while and would like to hear your thoughts about it as well, if you're willing to share them.

By any chance, have you seen the movie Wreck-it Ralph? There was a part where the villain enters the code of the game he's in and I think the Dome's purpose could follow a similar, if not equal, vein.

Now that I think about it, Lou and Vanellope's circunstances are almost identical, trapped in the same place for years without the option to leave, simply because of who they are and the traits they were born with, but didn't choose to have.

Sorry, I let my mind run on tangent there for a while, it wanders frequently which makes it hard to keep track of my line of thought.

To circle back to the main topic of discussion, what if the Dome is a Central Station of the Institute, like a Panel or Center for Command Control (or Command Control Center)? CCC for short? Ok, I'll stop trying to be funny...

Perhaps it could be a subroutine of the factory's software, a program linked to its network and wifi that contains all guidelines and rules that govern the Institute and must be followed and executed to keep it functional - a blueprint if you will - and is in charge of all commands, protocols, activities and operations being compiled and run by its machinery, such as the doll-scanner, the robots, the washing machine, the recycling, the Gauntlet plus the mechanical baby and dog and the Portal, just to name a few.

This means that it'd also take care of overseeing the integrity and performance of said machinery as well as its maintenance. It'd even be responsible for generating clouds and the artificial weather because apparently weather is still a thing, even though the Institute is inside of a factory.

I wonder if this subroutine would be run by an AI or simply an intelligent system/computer program. This world's version of Siri? 🤣

Or maybe I'm greatly exaggerating its function/letting my imagination run wild and it literally only gives Electricity for TV and Institute. Where was I going with this? /were we again?

Morever, it could be a storage unit that contains all collected, analysed and reviewed data regarding the inhabitants of the Institute and their responses, physical or emotional, to certain pre-determined stimuli.

It could also have a list of the factory's Perfection Standards: what consists/constitutes a Perfect Doll / product, its traits...

what can go to the market and which flaws/imperfections can't be ignored/overlooked and have to go to the recycling immediately, kinda like separating fruit/food

To sum up, it's the Institute's "rulebook", but instead of being specifically made for the prototype, it's more expansive and focuses on the Institute as a whole.

After the events of the movie, dolls with engineer role job created phones with recicled parts dangerous/turned the recycling into a good thing/while recycling was turned of and parts are human sized, plenty to spare and create phone since dolls come back now, have free time to assemble the parts and construct them and connected them to the signals/frequency emitted by the dome or they hack/steal or find out the password/'hijack' the signals🤣, use it to make them connect with each other but can't enter the dome without proper authorizations/permissions

Fun fact #2: Lou animatronic, would be a hipocrite if he called the Uglydolls "Ugly" has never seen a Mirror before

•https://www.indigobluepencil.com/ugly

Scroll almost to the middle (pre-planned concepts: dome by TV and washing machine, Big baby, Lou, Mandy, Tuesday and Kitty, Victoria, Perfection Council/of Dolls=board of investors directors reference)

•https://www.scottfassett.com/uglydolls-gallery

Had to restart Two Times... I hope you found this ask both entertaining and informative. Hopefully it'll give you Inspiration for your stories...

Okay, I had to do quite a bit of research and asked someone who knows a lot more about computers than I do.

So, I do agree that the dome has an electronic purpose. It really surprises me that STX animated an entire dome within the Institute and literally spoke nothing of it or what's inside of it. Like, seriously, it's huge and can't just be empty on the inside.

My theory, after some research, is that the inside of the dome is essentially a hard drive computer tower. For you younger folk who weren't raised in a 90's home, here's what I'm talking about:

These things right here used to be what would get hooked up to older Dell/Windows computers. The ones that weighed, like, 50 pounds and took up an entire desk.

Instead of a dvd player (which I didn't get one until maybe 8 years old) I would stick my Kidz Bop cd or movie into that slot at the top and watch the movie on the computer with Video Player.

Count your blessings.

But this is what I believe is inside that dome. These things are what holds the CPU (central processing unit), GPU (graphic processing unit), and stores the memory, data, audio, and everything of the computer.

@natalie-the-writer and I have a running fanon that the company is older. The technology is older, the building is older, and everything is set in a pretty retro time period. So, this hard drive tower is connected to those bulky take-up-all-the-space-on-the-desk-computers.

The GPU in this system is also what control the day/night cycle in the Institute and the weather. It essentially simulates a troposphere and an environment that makes the dolls comfortable and prepared for the Big World.

The CPU is how the data is transferred. Info from the robots is controlled and processed, the Individualization scanners are monitored, the portal is opened and closed, the TV runs, and the holographic tutorials Moxy and her friends see in the beginning are kept on, all of it.

It basically functions as the brain of the Institute, but the sole controller and monitor of it is the CEO (Greyson Everett).

I also like to think that Lou's microchip (another fanon thought between Natalie and I) is also monitored via this hard drive tower. Any information that Lou learns and processes is sent into separate files on the computers back in the company building.

This is why in my Shell-Shock series, when Lou's emotions go south, the Institute begins to get windy when he's hyperventilating or rains when he cries. The ground trembles when he has body tremors and the lights flicker when his powers are used. He is literally connected to the whole Institute because his microchip and its data accidentally grow and manifest themselves into the files of the other Institute functions. His programming basically goes rogue and infects the Institute system like a virus.

I'm veering toward the explanation that results in Lou being the first successful form of Artificial Intelligence. But, for the moment, he is basically acting like a virus and it's not until he learns to control this new system he's connected to that it stops becoming a deadly thing.

good stuff from wired. it's far too easy to forget that all of the data you send and receives goes somewhere—real tangible servers that people have to build and maintain, supported by both digital and physical infrastructure with not-at-all negligible financial and environmental costs—including the post you're reading right now.

some highlights:

[The tech industry has] trained us to upload, download, stream, post, and share to infinitum. In turn, we have come to expect seamless and instant access to digital content anytime, anywhere, as if data were immaterial. [...] A typical data center spans about 100,000 square feet, but I have been inside of facilities that are the size of a small home or as large as a university campus. The average data center can consume as much electricity as a small city in order to power and cool its computing equipment, drawing energy from electrical grids that in many parts of the world are coal-fired. To maintain our expectations for constant availability without as much as a hiccup, data centers run diesel generators in a state of hot-standby to supply power in the event of an electrical grid failure. [...] The International Data Corporation, a “global provider of market intelligence” for IT professionals and executives, estimates that digital data storage capacity may have to double or triple by 2030 to meet rising global demands for data storage. By the end of this decade, some estimate that cloud infrastructures will gobble up 20 percent of the world’s energy resources. (These figures, however, are speculative, provisional, and reliant on quantification schemes that are themselves highly contested given the opacity of the privately owned infrastructures behind the cloud and the complexity of variables involved.) [...] The cloud, as I have seen it, is already broken, already breaking. There are no easy techno-fixes that can save us, because the problem we are facing is not an engineering problem, but a cultural one. We suffer from a deficit of imagination because capitalism has conditioned us to think of the digital as inexhaustive and instant, to think of ourselves as consumers rather than stewards, to think of the cloud as a service rather than a community.

[Looking through the data packets that are offered to you, you find on on the 'geography' of the local star system.]

Liaos System

a simple graphic of the system

The Star of the Liaos System, Brilliance.

First planet of the Liaos System, Lunidae.

Atmosphereless, barren, dusty. The planet is the smallest of the system and is practically worthless if it wasn't for the material that can be harvested from it and the occasional subterranian station the planet is pockmarked with.

Second planet of the Liaos System, Regent's Stand.

An inhabited world primarily covered in deep oceans. It has become the site of most of the internal conflicts within the system, being the only world that can be lived in without much difficulty. The planet used to be the military forward base of Remnant, but with the fall of Remnant, it quite frankly has suffered. It was not designed to be self-sufficient.

Recently, would-be warlords and system despots have been vying for what little land can be found on Regent's Stand. Though mechs are rare for these conflicts, they are not unheard of, and they have begun scouring the system's carcass for more mechs, parts, or means of constructing them. Some of the influential warlords have power armor, not quite mechs, but close enough if you've never seen one before. The rest have barely bullet-resistant hard case armor. Officially, the company takes the side of none of these warlords.

An Urdain footsoldier, one of the more influential of the warlords.

The Aunic presence in the system is concentrated on this planet, an orbitally fabbed fortress church that was then dropped into the ocean of the world, the 'Leadlight Panacea' it has been called.

Supposedly, the Aunic symbol.

The asteroid field known as Remnant used to be the third planet of Liaos, it now has the Dead Orbit space station within.

The planet used to be the center of power for the sector, but after a series of cascading NHPs across the entire planet which turned into a series of unshackling NHPs, it has been reduced to this, leaving behind a station that was about to fall into the atmosphere and break apart, and a small rift in space-time.

The asteroid field itself possesses more mass than the planet possessed by over a factor of two hundred, has a shockingly large number of preserved ruins hidden within the dusty ring on some decently sized asteroids, and even occasionally has a breathable atmosphere within a pocket or two.

Sebastian Brine, Renowned Duster.

There are two people who live within the belt, the first group we call 'Dusters'. They are scavengers who simply are trying to eke out a living. Please try to talk with them before firing on them, they are generally a reasonable sort.

The second group call themselves 'the Voladores'. They are tall (like really tall) and enigmatic. We only deal with one of them, though they do have a large ship that seems to live within the cloudy ring of Remnant. The ship is apparently called 'Bóveda de Cristal', whatever that means.

Miguel, the Exotic Goods Trader. He has two biological arms crossed under his shoulder poncho thing that he never uses.

Third planet of the Liaos System, Liaos-4.

Liaos-4 is now the third planet of the Liaos system since Remnant is no longer a planet. The planet is the largest of the system and possesses a highly acidic atmosphere. There are a number of orbital stations around the planet and on its moons, some were for research, some were for habitation, and others for storage or work. They have long since been abandoned, now only for the purposes of scavenging.

Fourth planet of the Liaos System, Lancaster.

To the knowledge of the company, there isn't anything to note on this planet, or orbiting it, besides the Union Expansion Reps. Though many believe that there is something of value here.

The symbol the Union Reps have on everything of theirs.

Fifth planet of the Liaos System, Void's Edge, the third gas giant and final planet of the system.

There is supposedly a rather well-stocked interstellar colonization station in the atmosphere of this world, though since the creation of Remnant, few if any have been able to confirm or deny that myth, and fewer still are willing to risk the interference and potential of getting lost within the mists.

"But," it's a bomb. It's got to be a bomb, surely. "I didn't order this." Nonetheless, the delivery guy just stands there, gawking, still staring at you, barely able to see over the huge, fridge-sized package they have for you. Your blood is running cold, by now; a bomb of that size could flatten an entire neighbourhood.

"Delivery." They repeat, their voice as droll and dull as the first time they said it. As if to emphasize the fact that they aren't taking no for an answer, they push their little trolley a few inches forwards, almost trapping you inside of your own house. After a few moments, they hand you the signature keypad. "Sign here." They mumble, looking down at their feet, as if their own life isn't on the line, here. As if they can just step out of a cloning facility, like their bosses probably can.

"N-No, I'm not signing!" You dare not mention that you've already assured yourself that this is a mailbomb. If you did, then you'd be laughed off of the street — out of your own house. "I didn't order anything! Especially nothing as big as this!" You try to dig your feet in, but you're met by nought but the inexplicable size of 'your' package, and the bland nothingness of the delivery man's face.

"Sign it. Please." In your left ear, there's the tiniest of squeaks. Your audio-core, nestled into the skin, running about an inch deep into your cranial cavity, begins to whirr. "Please? I'm sorry I didn't tell you..." It beeps again, and the world seems to snap back into a semi-correct alignment. Everything makes sense, again — if only slightly.

"Fine." You take the signature-slate, and flick your data onto it with a huff. The voice in your ear made you finally capitulate, but you're not entirely satisfied. "There's no payment, right? I don't think I could..." You murmur, twiddling your fingers after handing the slate back to its rightful place.

"I've already paid." The voice comes again, distinct and pure, but hiding slightly, for some reason. Recessed, into the very corner of your audio-core. "Just bring it in. It's a—" The voice cuts itself off, as if an AI could choke on it's own humiliation. "It's a hard-drive."

The delivery man retreats, just in time to miss your gawking, as the truth becomes even more apparent. "A hard-drive? This?!" You almost scream, staring the behemoth of storage up and down. "It's gotta be at least,"

"One yottabyte." All she can manage is the number; read ever-so robotically, as if she'd turned off all of her emotional subsystems, and reduced her consciousness to simple mathematics, just to avoid the implications. "It's," those routines return to life as Amadiss tries to speak, and distinctly fails. Her voice drops off, as she beeps and hums her way through a sequence of pitiful syllables. "It's," she tries again, and fails again. You're almost amazed, that such a sophisticated AI can struggle so much with something so simple. "It's my new storage center." Another reem of emotional subroutines are culled so that she can keep her voice afloat. "Because," some things are too much, though. Some things even the most intelligent, capable AI simply can't concede. Her voice pitches, as embarrassment subsystems engulf her simulated voicelines. "B-Because,"

"Because you got fatter." You decide to give her a little help, and finish the sentence for her.

[northwest-cryptid]

honestly, completely understandable. if i may give a basic concept of my vision. consider an MMO, let's say... warcraft, because I can use it as a decent example. we take the Eastern kingdoms there, and measure it, clocks in at about 24 kilometres across. that's about the distance from my home city to the nearest one, and personally? when I hear "virtual world" that shit is way too small.

when I imagine a virtual world, I imagine it almost like an smal country in it's own, let's say for a different example, the size of florida. now consider how much server space warcraft uses, even if we estimate only a 3rd of that is the Eastern kingdoms. then we scale thar 24 Km length to... about 720 Km and you'll probably see where the sheer scale of the servers are needed. and when you've got all those servers, heat will be an issue. either one could essentially run their system through instances and try distribute the load, or you gotta find a way to deal with all that heat.

the best way I can imagine, is by reducing the energy waste of the servers, in which case my first thought was the ideal in a superconductor. if resistance is 0, efficiency is near 100% and nearly no heat is produced. alas we don't live in a perfect world, and while it's fun to think on applications for stuff like that, it's also painful to know the best we've got (in this case fibre optics and silver) isn't even close.

I can tell our visions are different, and thank you for the well wishes, I hope you can make yours a reality because like this I certainly can't.

I respect that you took what I said without hostility so I don't mind continuing this conversation.

While I don't know things like Warcraft personally; I do know a good bit about how servers work and the like. I think you're really getting caught up in the weeds so to speak. By which I mean, you're concerned about problems you don't have, stopping yourself from taking the first step because you're being prevented by imaginary problems.

If you look up EVE Online's size for example you'll find a notable quote that states: "With a total area of 11,126,487.6 Astronomical Units² (AU) — or in other words, 249 sextillion km² — the playable universe of EVE Online earns its place in the halls of greatness when it comes to sheer size." Now EVE actually only runs 3 servers, but from what I understand has plenty on the back end working to keep everything running smoothly.

In other words, what you're looking for isn't nearly as big of a deal as you may think it is. You're speaking of superconductors, heat, and resistance as if any of that honestly matters, and it just doesn't.

Data centers house literally thousands, if not hundreds of thousands of servers. Most MMORPGs run parallel instances of their game worlds 10 times over per region without any issue.

Again I really don't want to come across as being rude or looking down on you or something. That couldn't be further from my intention and I do apologize if I come across that way; it's hard for me to know what kind of tone I give off but that's not an excuse for me to be an asshole.

That being said I don't think you have an understanding of this as much as you think you do. I believe you're getting caught up on a fictional problem created by a fictional situation that you're not even dealing with yet.

I can't just let someone give up on something before they even start just because they don't have a full understanding of the actual situation at hand.

Games like FFXIV, Mabinogi, or even games like Black Desert Online, and Elite Dangerous or No Man's Sky; they're all MASSIVE and yet they use tricks like instances to keep their games running smoothly while running on a singular server.

Even Warcraft, which I admittedly don't know a lot about as I don't play; can be easily looked up and you'll find that:

"Blizzard uses 20,000 systems and 1.3 petabytes of storage to power its gaming operations. WoW's infrastructure includes 13,250 server blades, 75,000 CPU cores, and 112.5 terabytes of blade RAM. The Blizzard network is managed by a staff of 68 people."

These aren't impossible numbers, but you're also not Blizzard. I'm not Blizzard. We're not dealing with numbers that large, we don't need to because we don't have the demand for it.

When developers like CCP Games (The developers behind EVE online) made the game in the first place, they had a few thousand people playing it and managing their servers became a real problem for them; but they also had the money and staff necessary since they were a company who was selling thousands of copies of their game; that they could afford to upgrade their servers.

CCP ran into more issues with modern tech keeping up with their demand but ultimately had the money to keep up with buying the latest greatest for their servers and staff to keep their game running.

They didn't stop themselves from attempting because of the need to run a game as large as EVE before they ever made it; they expanded the servers and game world over time through understanding current limitations and figuring out how to feasibly surpass them.

I don't say this all of this to put you down, rather I say these things because it really feels like you WANT there to be a problem.

It's easier to give up and not try when you feel like the only possible solution to your idea is entirely out of your hands. If it's an impossibility from the start, why bother right?

I used to be like that too, which is why I feel like it sounds familiar. Fear of trying and failing amounts to determining that it couldn't be done to begin with; because it feels like we're justified in giving up when the task is literally not possible.

When you say "I hope you can make yours a reality because like this I certainly can't." You're telling me you feel like you're not able to achieve what you want, despite the fact that it's entirely possible without all the fancy computers and stargates and sci fi shenanigans.

I'm not trying to speak for you, we don't know each other; you're an anon I'm just some random blogger on the internet. I can't claim to understand you and all that, so please take what I'm about to say with a grain of salt, it wouldn't be wrong to necessarily say I'm projecting here; because I used to very much sound just like you.

The thing is, you're right; you can't achieve what you want. Not as you are now, not when you won't try. Because until you've created anything at all, until you have a world to put out there, you can't possibly even have to face the problem of server space or thermodynamics and shit.

So worry about what's in front of you; get out there, make mistakes, learn and grow. Open Unity, or Unreal, or whatever application you prefer and just make a small map it doesn't matter if it's good just make SOMETHING.

Take the first step.

You can call me short sighted if you want but when I think about creating a virtual world my worries are not on the problems that might happen down the line; they're on whether or not I can even get there.

A poor man worrying about what to do when he wins the lottery doesn't make any sense if he can't afford to play the lottery.

A prime example of what I mean is that, for my plan to work I need some way to link worlds to each other in VRChat while keeping the linked worlds set to private so there's only one way to access them, that way being through the hub world.

The problem here is that I'm about 90% sure if a world is set to private, it cannot have a portal linking to it in a public world; it just won't work like that.

So why am I not working on a solution to that problem? That's really simple, and it's as easy to explain as; I won't even have to deal with that problem if I can't make the worlds first!

I can't let myself get tangled up in the details of things not working exactly how I imagined they would before I even have the worlds I need to link via portals in the first place.

This is a classic example of "putting the cart before the horse"

There are a thousand different ways to go about fixing a problem, but you don't need to worry about a problem you won't ever have. That's just an excuse to not try!

I'm not saying this to point a finger at you and say you're doing something wrong, I'm saying this because I want you to consider this for yourself. I want you to take a look at yourself and really think about if those server problems and the laws of thermodynamics are stopping you.

Or is it something else?

I think you'd understand this all a lot better if you actually took the steps to try.

So here, I won't hold you to it; I won't mock you if you give up or whatever. However, whether or not you take the real first step is up to you I can't force you but it sounds like you want to, so let me try to help.

Download Unity, it's free for personal use. Let's take the first step here.

Open the Unity Hub, in the upper right you'll find a button that says "New Project" click that.

Now select whether or not you want to use 2D or 3D; I'm going with 3D because I'm going to be making a world for VRChat.

You can use whichever version of Unity you prefer.

Click Create Project in the bottom right.

My screen may look a bit different than yours because I'm using the VRChat Creator Companion which has a whole suite of plugins it adds for the sake of making a VRChat world. That being said, you should be able to follow along just fine.

(If you'd like to grab the Creator Companion and make worlds for VRChat you can get it free here: https://vcc.docs.vrchat.com/)

You should have something like this, minus the Packages/Assets that VRChat's Creator Companion adds of course

We could either create Terrain through right clicking somewhere in the hierarchy and clicking the "3D Object -> Terrain" button, or we could create a world through various assets in the asset store. No worries we'll only use free stuff. For the sake of example I'm going to be using the asset store because I find it's easier for people starting out.

To access the Asset Store we're going to click the drop down for "Window" at the top, and then select Asset Store (I have mine docked but I don't believe it will be by default).

Now in the store I'm going to search for Sci-Fi Styled Modular Pack and set the price to free. You can search for anything you'd like, but this is what I will be using.

I'm just going to click the button that says Open In Unity and add it to my project by clicking the Import button in the Package Manager that should open when clicking the Open In Unity button.

Everything should be selected by default, but if it's not; go ahead and click the All button at the top left, and then the Import button in the lower right.

Now I'm going to go into the Assets -> Sci-Fi Styled Modular Pack -> Prefabs -> Corridors and just drag the Corridor_X into my Hierarchy.

Generally speaking if you don't know how, or don't wish to edit the materials, textures, or models a Prefab or Pre-Fabricated model is the way to go.

Now I'm going to repeat this for 4 Corridor_T and 4 Corridor_L.

It should look something like this:

Obviously we don't want all our corridors to be inside each other, so let's move them into position.

We could do this using the arrows, but we could also use the Transform within the Inspector on the right.

For now, I'm going to hide the other parts by selecting them all and clicking the check mark next to their name in the Inspector to the upper right. This will just make it easier to see what I'm doing.

By clicking and dragging the blue arrow after selecting Corridor_T in the Hierarchy I'm able to see that a number around Z = 12 seems to be right for the spacing, so I will go ahead and use the Transform under the Inspector to place this part at Z = 12:

Doing this for each of the Corridors I can create a complete room this way.

Except of course by just putting the T corridor on the other side won't position it correctly for our player to walk through it, so I'll need to use the Transform or Rotation tool. In this case I'm going to use the Rotation under the Transform:

By selecting the Rotation tool I can see that the Y (or Green) axis is the one I'll want to rotate on. So I'll go ahead and set the Y rotation to -180, and the Z Position value to -12.

Once we have all our T corridors in place we can use this same system to position our L corridors in place, resulting in a small room:

Of course this is far from a completed map, hell it's far from an interesting room. So let's use some of the other parts in the prefab folder such as decorative elements and lights to make the place look nice.

We have plenty of room to work with in here but I'm just throwing something together to give an example so let's just go with some random stuff...

Okay now we're getting somewhere.

Now thanks to the VRChat Creator Companion having a lot of built in features I can go ahead and just click play to give this a go and see how it all looks in play; for base Unity you'll likely need to grab a First Person camera or controller of some kind; they're all over the Unity Asset Shop just search for First Person Controller and set the price to free:

Then just import it into your project and drop it into your hierarchy somewhere.

Now you should be able to walk around the corridor you made:

It's really that easy, and this is beginner stuff; if you are interested in this sort of thing there's a ton of tutorials on Youtube that explain how to do Terrain, textures, materials, even 3D modeling so you can make your own unique stuff instead of using stuff from the asset store.

and you know the best part? I could upload this to VRChat right now, I could just put it live and make a world. All without having to figure out the servers, or battling with the laws of thermodynamics.

You're putting up walls for yourself, stopping yourself from learning the fundamentals of the craft. Don't let yourself be held back by your imaginary fears.

Once you understand how to make a corridor you can begin to expand it into a building, once you understand how to make a building you can put that building on terrain; once you understand how to make terrain you can make entire worlds.

No server farm, or heat problem or whatever can stop you from doing that. Only YOU are stopping yourself.

You're not going to start off perfect, it might not even be good at first!

Check it out; this is the first terrain map I ever made:

Using textures from Mabinogi mind you; I didn't even make my own textures lol. The water? It's just a plane with transparency, it didn't move or anything; you couldn't swim in it.

The mountain range just gets cut off there's nothing more there, the "sand" doesn't submerge into the water smoothly at all. It's all a mess it's pretty bad, but it's SOMETHING.

So I added a skybox because I didn't know how to do that yet;

I expanded the terrain and began working on the parts I didn't like, little by little. This is the seed of a whole world I will create; it all starts here, even though this has NOTHING to do with what I eventually want to create.

Will anyone even visit my world? Does anyone need to? Who knows!

I'm not going to get caught up on the details of server farms and shit when I don't even have a world built yet, I'm not going to hold myself back from TRYING.

now I have moving water, and more space than I know what to do with, so I gotta learn how to make some buildings and decorate the place; I'm working on a fishing system that I'm having to learn how to script in UDON for.

It's not easy, and it's daunting to look at my goals and realize how far away I am. However I'm not asking myself to do everything right this second, I'm asking myself; and I'm asking you to just take the first step towards understanding how to accomplish what you want to.

If you don't actually WANT to do it, then that's fine, it's your life. However if your only reason for not trying is because of server space and thermodynamics and shit that doesn't even matter yet; I'm going to sit here and tell you that it doesn't matter and you don't need to worry about it. Don't go making excuses for yourself, you don't need to create your ideal virtual world if you don't WANT to.

But if you DO want to, just please understand that you CAN.

I'm not saying it will be easy. I'm saying it'll be DOABLE, but only if you're actually willing to TRY, and ultimately NONE OF THIS MATTER IF YOU DON'T WANT TO DO IT.

I'm not going to look down on you if you simply don't actually care.

It's entirely possible that I'm reading too much into this, maybe you just have this idea as some kind of fantastical concept but you have no real desire to make it a reality. Then that's fine! There's no shame in that, there's no problem with that. If that's the case and I've blown this out of proportion I am truly sorry.

However I say all of this because I know all too well what it feels like to want to create something, and to dream way too big way too fast; to think it's not possible without something you don't actually need, and to not even know where or how to start.

I don't want to just sit here and let someone give up on accomplishing something they genuinely want to do; all because they're worried about problems that don't ACTUALLY matter for what they want.

Now sure I get it, you likely want to do your own server hosting, you likely want to run it all yourself. I get that; but the reality of the matter is you gotta start small and build up, no one just pops into existence with a giant project and gets millions of people playing their game or exploring their world or whatever. The average person can't just buy up the server space and memory necessary for it.

However the problems you're talking about and the solutions you're proposing to fix them feel like someone talking from a Sci-Fi RP account. They're not realistic at all. You simply don't need to worry about them, and if they're truly the things holding you back then you really shouldn't let them.

Start small, start somewhere; secure funding for your project when the users who do see your work decide it's worth funding. Move on from there, hire a team; work your way up to owning a proper game company, develop the tools to make it happen.

But none of that will happen if you don't start somewhere, you know?

There's no shame in starting small, there's nothing wrong with creating something just to create it; even if it's not your million dollar idea.

If you really have your doubts, check out Scott Cawthon. Yes, THAT Scott Cawthon. Sure you likely know about FNAF, but you may or may not be aware of his entire catalogue of other works.

The guy was making games and animations nearly 10 years before ever making the original FNAF. This list doesn't even include everything he made.

What I'm saying is, if he worried about making games like FNAF when he was making bible animations he likely wouldn't have ever made FNAF OR any of his animations or other games. He likely would have just given up because the idea of making something so big it would get movies and be something people refer to as "famous" likely would have been extremely daunting.

If you start working on stuff now, you really COULD create what you want to. You could improve over the years, get better at your craft; and find ways to make your vision into a reality.

You just have to understand where to take the first step and stop focusing on problems that don't exist for you.

Anyways I've rambled on enough that I'm probably repeating myself for the fifth time already so I'll shut up and leave it at that.

Once again, I do mean it when I say I wish you the best of luck bringing your vision to life.

LoL Rants: Thoughts on the Machine Harold

Ooohoohoo! I have thoughts on the Machine Harold & this is just from the perspective of someone who's a fan of Arcane & only knows a few little scraps about LoL & hasn't really seen much gameplay, let alone played. (Have mercy, I'm still a baby fan.)

Let's start off with the fact that I don't even know the sort of advancements that they've made as far as neurology & computers. Yes, there are robots, but robot brains & ai are very different from human brains. It's because of these differences that Viktor is actually S.O.L. for being able to totally get rid of his flesh without seriously hampering his mental capacities. At least if they try to keep it as realistic as possible.

Just to put things into perspective, "the memory capacity of the human brain was reported to have the equivalent of 2.5 petabytes of memory capacity. As a number, a 'petabyte' means 1024 terabytes or a million gigabytes, so the average adult human brain has the ability to store the equivalent of 2.5 million gigabytes of digital memory."

"To put that in perspective, according to Computerworld, Yahoo – the Internet giant – has created a specially-built 2.0 petabyte 'data warehouse.' Yahoo uses the immense information storage capacity of this data warehouse to analyze the behavior of its half-a-billion monthly visitors. “It is not only the world’s single-largest database, but also the busiest.”"

"By comparison, the IRS’s own massive data warehouse, which keeps track of 300-plus million Americans and many more millions of businesses, has the capacity of 150 terabytes of memory. Yet Yahoo’s 2.0 petabyte computational center, which can process 24 billion 'events' a day, is a full 20 percent smaller than the capacity of a single human brain." - CNS or Clinical Neurology Nevada

This means, that in order for Viktor to completely get rid of his flesh, he'd need an entire building to store the supercomputer that would be his brain. Which would put a solid target on his back.

Please, keep in mind that the average data warehouse is around 100,000 square feet.

Which is this big:

With a 250,000 square foot building being about this big:

And THIS!

Is Yahoo's 2 Petabyte storage facility, if I'm reading it correctly!

That... is a fuckton, my friend! And it's still not able to store as much data in the human brain. For that, it'd need to be 20% bigger!

ALL that space just to house the equivalent of a single human brain! The AVERAGE human brain! Now, just imagine how much space someone like Viktor would require.

And that's just the human brain's capacity for memory. I remember reading somewhere that every cell in the human body stores information & that this is why transplants can cause people's personalities to change after recieving one. They're taking on aspects of the donor's personality. This is the theory of Cellular Memory. If this theory is, indeed, fact, then it would actually take even more space to store all that data.

Hell, apparently, a group at Columbia recently managed to store 214 petabytes of data, including a full freaking computer operating system inside A GRAM of DNA!!

The average human male has around 223 grams of DNA.

That's 47,722 petabytes & that still isn't accounting for everything!

That's almost 20 THOUSAND TIMES the amount of information that the brain stores! So, if Viktor wants to preserve as much information as he can & not sacrifice any important data, then that means that he'd need a place 20,000 times the size of the warehouses that I already showed above!

No matter what Viktor may want to believe, technology just can't match what flesh can manage, at least in terms of space.

An ai nowadays, however, can be measured in number of kilobytes. Petabytes being the equivalent of 1,000,000,000,000,000 bytes. A kilobyte, on the other hand, is only 1,000 bytes! That is a HUGE difference!

How much of this can magic make up for?

As such, it's more efficient to keep his actual flesh brain & contain it within a nearly indestructible body as the human brain is simply, by & far, the most efficient information database that exists at this time. At least as far as space goes.

Because of this, he'd also need to keep sleeping because sleep is a fundamental function for brain maintenance.

One, it helps us to organize the information we receive throughout the day, as well as flushes out toxins that build up during the day.

Again, unless Viktor has found a way to keep himself from building up these toxins to begin with, then he'll need to continue sleeping.

He might be able to find a way to make his sleep more efficient by maximizing the amount of energy he gets while minimizing the amount of sleep he needs to get it, but so long as he has a flesh brain, sleep is required.

Also, because he'd have to keep his flesh brain, Viktor couldn't really get rid of his lungs completely as that'd require him completely replacing each & every single one of his cells at the same time. Because every cell in your body needs oxygen to operate. This includes brain cells. Without oxygen, your brain will suffocate & die.

Therefore, oxygen is a must.

I also honestly doubt that Runeterra science has advanced into cellular engineering.

I could see him installing an air filter though. Or building a pair that more efficiently intakes & distributes oxygen throughout his body is also plausible.

Regardless of what he chooses, he'll need some way of getting oxygen to the few cells he has even if it's via vents.

The same could be said for his heart. Unless he's entirely gotten rid of his need for blood, he'd still need something able to provide his brain with oxygen, glucose, & other nutrients.

Even if Viktor manages to replace his heart with an artificial one, it'd still beat. We've built artificial hearts irl & they beat.

I also don't see how he could get rid of his stomach as it acts as an engine by converting organic matter into energy used to sustain his body. Perhaps he could build a more efficient alternative, but not totally get rid of it unless he relies entirely on magic to run his systems.

Again, his brain requires glucose & other nutrients to keep functioning, so unless magic can replace that, he'll need to keep the stomach.

And even if he did find a way to do this, depending on how common Hex Crystals are & how much work it takes to refine them into the more durable HexTech Gemstones, it might just end up being more trouble than it's worth to do so. Using more energy & resources than it provides.

Otherwise, he'd just be doing so because he can & realizing just how inefficient it is afterwards due to the high maintenance requirements of it when compared to only needing to eat a few meals a day to keep running.

It's much more effective to find a way to make his stomach more efficient, minimizing on the space required, & using both organic energy & magic at the same time. That way, organic energy goes to vital functions & magic can be used for non-vital functions.

It's like how hybrid cars are more energy efficient than either conventional cars or entirely electrical cars individually.

If nothing else, Viktor is utilitarian.

It'd also be stupid to not have tactile sensors or a way to gage temperature as it makes it easier to know when things get close to damaging you.

I mean, the weather has adverse effects on machines too.

Also, what would even be the point of getting rid of your taste buds?

Or touch? Or smell?

I also highly doubt that he got rid of his junk either, because otherwise, he wouldn't need to wear that loincloth.

Don't get me wrong, the idea of a robo-dick is supercool if done well, but you need to have the means to do it in order to make it & I just don't think Viktor does without the HexCore.

That sort of thing would probably require nanotechnology.

Actually, irl, there's this new artificial skin made by Caltech being made that is supposed to let robots be able to "sense temperature, pressure, & even toxic chemicals through a simple touch." Either way, it uses a gelatinous hydrogel & embedded into the gel are sensors that give the artificial skin its ability to detect the world around it. To get it in, a variety of inks of nanomaterials are injected into the surface like with a printer.

After printing a scaffolding of silver nanoparticle wires, the researchers then print layers of micrometer-scale sensors that can be designed to detect a bunch of stuff.

Thing is, there's no way Viktor has advanced tech far enough to make nanomachines. He'd need actual ferromancy.

—

I also highly doubt he actually managed to truly get rid of all of his emotions. Maybe dampen them so that they're less intense, but not entirely dispense with them.

Because if he does not get any fulfillment from his work (not even the satisfaction of a job well done), then what's keeping him doing it?

I know this because loss of motivation & drive is a known symptom of emotional blunting (which I suffer from) & apathy, which is when someone finds it more difficult to feel emotions. Imagine how low your motivation would be if you were entirely without emotions?

Further, if he truly got rid of his emotions, then his morals would be entirely dictated by logical pros vs cons as moral judgment is driven by both reasoning & emotion.

Things like disgust, shame, pride, anger, guilt, compassion, & gratitude.

If one does not have emotions, what value do things like morals & fairness even have? Let alone ideology?

What would push you forward?

Drive? Drive is an instinctual motivation towards action. For example, a drive for hunger is an innate need to engage in eating or a behavior which will satisfy a desire for sustenance.

Desires are also a type of very base emotion, so that's out too.

Want? Want is just another word for desire, so no to that also!

In order for Viktor to keep going as the Machine Harold without at least some base emotion as motivation, he'd need to be following some internal program that he built into himself. One that he specifically put in place before the operation in order to keep himself on track in following the old Viktor's moral judgment.

A moral judgment that, in & of itself, was driven by some of the most basic emotions. Therefore, he is either a hypocrite for being controlled by a program that was based on morals & thus emotions, or he has emotions & knows it, therefore he's a liar for saying that he 'evolved' passed the need for them when, in reality, you can't have morals without some form of emotional motivation & ideology is based on both conviction, belief, & opinion. Which are all emotions. Conviction actually being one of the most intense known emotions. Or he does have emotions, but doesn't realize that he does.

Meanwhile, machines without the influence of humans, are entirely without internal bias or personal opinion. All that truly matters is absolute, objective fact.

Thus, the very fact that he strives for a 'Glorious Evolution' is proof that he is a false idol driven by emotion in one form or another.

Otherwise, I doubt that he'd be doing much of anything.

In the end, a truly perfect body wouldn't be one entirely devoid of emotions so much as one that is able to separate emotion from reasoning &, failing that, is able to learn to control their emotions. That way, the body keeps the benefits of having emotions while largely avoiding the downfalls.

My suggestion? An internalized dial used to adjust the strength of one's emotions, but never to the point where there are none.

It's also possible based on the fact that his machinery is run on magic, that the magic gives him a form of replacement emotions. For all I know, he might not even notice these things.

If not for magic's presence in his body, he & Blitzcrank would likely be devoid of all desire to do anything beyond what they were programed to.

Realistically speaking, without emotion, his advancement would suffer immensely due to a lack of passion & inspiration on his part.

You can work as hard as possible & as often as possible, but a single spark of inspiration can render all that work meaningless.

By all accounts, by getting rid of his emotions, he'd be simplifying himself. Dumbing himself down.
