IT'S TIME FOR ANOTHER UNECCESARY COMPETITION POST!

Ranking the dorms' Halloween 1 performances to scare the trouble-making guests: Based on my own subjective opinions.

DISCLAIMER! I loved all of the performances from all of the dorms, but it would be a lie to say I love them all equally, so here's the order I'd rank them in from least to most impressive.

7. Ignihyde-"Revenge of the nerds." Idia gets a taste of his own medicine when I say that while the library must be protected at all costs the fact that basically the entire "trick" to scare off the magicam monsters is holograms is underwhelming. You ever complained about a movie having too much CGI? Yeah, that's why this one is at the bottom. Idia's costume is top tier. The Headless Horseman ("Pumpkin Knight") inspiration is a lot of fun. Almost all practical. Shows his cosplay knowledge. But the whole idea of their spook is just kind of silly. Based around a movie. Fun. But not especially impressive. Better than people getting blown away by Ortho though--who by the way was very entertaining and impressive in his own acting rite considering he wasn't in the film studies club when this event came out.

6. Octavinelle-"Frankenstein's brother's cousin's best-friend's . . . mummy?" This one is a step up by not being based on an in-game fictional b-movie, but the theming is a little all over the place with these guys. While I really like the creativity of the mummy costumes and how they're put together, they aren't really convincing. The costume "reads" mummy, but in the same way drawing stitches on your face and wearing a screw headband could read "Frankenstein's monster." I don't think anyone would actually look at Jade and think that's a for-real mummy. And what's up with the mad scientist lab? There's just a lack of association between mummies and laboratories for me that doesn't make sense (I am talking about in fiction, I know people study mummies in labs and stuff in real life). Additionally, the "spook" factor is taken back a bit by the comical addition of Jade taking advantage of the performance to mess with Azul. Very funny, but also very "how did this scare people?" . . .Floyd. . .it was starting the scene off with Floyd that did it. Extra points for the creative use of the twin's being nearly identical. Loved it, fabulous, amazing, can't rank it higher though. The whole thing is kind of incoherent.

5. Diasomnia-"Oh yeah, there be dragons." These guys are just a little silly. I love the outfits and decorations. The Mulan theming is special to me and flattering that they decided to use Ramshackle as their stage for the Halloween week event out of consideration for the MC. Gotta love how Malleus just has his horns and tail out instead of using fake ones that match the others. Also, it's very funny that he just straight up transformed into a dragon and threatened to eat people because he was so mad about the situation that got us to this point. I do have to take points away for the lack of using the old building's actual ghosts to help out with the scares. Glad Lilia had fun, but his performance more so makes me laugh than convinces me the ghost of a Long is actually there. Malleus really did the heavy lifting on that front I think. Also leaving the MC and Grim out of the opportunity to take revenge on the people encroaching on their privacy is always a crime. They need to stop being left out.

4. Scarabia-"Environmentally conscious wolfmen." A little bias is involved here, admittedly. I give a lot of credence to the fact that Kalim actually pulled off the performance that he did. Big points for a big ol' W for the sunshine boy. The desert wolves are a very fun spin on the idea of the werewolf, though it does clash a bit with the idea of the Hollywood werewolf they seemed to be going for in the performance. That being said, they did keep the scary tone consistent through the routine! Jamil did great setup, the use of the carpet as a prop was such a fun addition, and Kalim's ultimate scare at the end was just awesome to see. Scarabia got a good highlight in this event and it makes me wish that Kalim had been given a higher card rarity so he could have an alt illustration. While I like the decorations, I can't make them much of a point because thematically, they are just kind of there. They make sense for the pitch Jamil and Kalim set for why the school store now looks that way, but more fun than spooky, or related to werewolves.

3. Pomefiore-"Actually, yes, your favorite celebrity is a vampire." Surprisingly high up on the list (it may be because I am a sucker for vampires). I'm here to give credit where credit is due. Generally speaking the Pomefiore performance is *spectacular.* We should really expect nothing less from an acting professional like Vil. It's convincing. The costumes are spot on, it isn't strange to consider the idea of Vil being a vampire, the tone is consistent, and the atmosphere is perfect. I especially like the visceral chomping sound they added when they had Epel "bite" the other student for their little show. However, it's only third place because of some nitpicks I have. While the costumes are great the patterns on the robes are a bit gaudy and I think it could have been better designed. The mirror room itself is a great place to stage a vampire skit with all the coffins floating around, but the "no photos" signs are kind of distracting. On that note I do wish they would have decorated it a bit more, at least changing the lighting. . .I mean I understand why there was no need to change much of the scenery and it's a location where creativity had to be limited, but still it disappoints me a bit. Then finally, I do wonder what the plan was for people to inevitably blab to all their friends and family and social media about the discovery that the famous celebrity model and actor Vil Schoenheit is a vampire. I'm sure it's mostly to be chalked up to silly internet rumors that no one would believe and it wouldn't get very far, but banking on Vil's actual identity feels like a flaw. So third place for them.

2. Heartslabyul-"Respect the flowers dead or else!" I'm still not exactly sure what their costumes are supposed to be honestly, but it looked good! This one just has the most "Halloween" feel of the whole thing. The setup for the scare is perfect because it actually has consequences for directly why people being stupid and disobeying the rules was particularly bad. The decorations and the spooky graveyard are fantastic and the use of Cater's unique magic was the icing on top of the cake. I'll even allow for the comical sub-event that was Deuce getting to throw dirt on top of Ace. By and large a great collaborative effort by the dorm and A+ vibes. Location, Decoration, Costume, Performance. *Amazing!*

1. SAVANACLAW-"What do we do with a bad behavior?" But I have to give top spot to my favorite dorm this time! NOW HOLD ON! IT'S NOT JUST BIAS! I SWEAR! Wrap up everything I said was great about all of the other dorms' setups and then add a little extra. THAT'S what Savanaclaw brought to the table. They had a great blend of practical and special effects. They built the set by hand, had material props, and used both Ruggie and Leona's signature spells to amazing effect. The setup to the scare isn't ridiculous or out of left field. It coincides directly with the nuisance behaviors they were trying to counteract. The costumes are realistic and match the setting, and above all JACK WAS AN AWESOME PIRATE GHOST! Extra props to him specifically for being able to convince his housewarden, honorary vice-housewarden and other rowdy rough and tumble dormmates to go along with his plan and work together to play their parts. Do y'all remember when Jack was allowed to be cool? I remember. The biggest props to the best performance of the night. I played the scares in reverse order just so I could save this one for close to the end. Worth it! GIVE US MORE STUFF LIKE THIS, TWST! Absolutely no regrets giving them the top spot.

And that's all she wrote for now, folks. I think this one is far from being a hot take, but I wanted to celebrate the Halloween spirit a bit. "Halloween 1" has a special place in my heart because it was a heckuva lot of fun to play and the way they featured all of the characters was great. I like to replay it around this time of year just for fun and wanted to share some of my thoughts on how the boys got rid of some of the magicam monsters. I'll say again, that I liked all of it all together; I just think that some are more impressive than others, and that's okay.

Thanks for reading, I hope you had a fun time with it!

Do you guys agree with how I ordered things or would you have placed them a little differently?

And, of course, most importantly. . .

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!

(My real hot-take regarding this is that Jade was so spectacularly non-important in the grand scheme of things that I think he and Jack should have been switched in terms of card rarity.~ WOOPS!)

The Man & Woman from C.O.U.S.I.N.S.

Late in 1968, Caesar Stag and June Danseuse, agents of C.O.U.S.I.N.S. (Covert Organization Uniquely Specializing in Neutralizing Spies.), were able to break into one of the secret hideouts of their arch-rivals, WOOD ROBIN, a hard to define conglomeration of disgruntled scientists, rogue engineers, and spies (mostly industrial espionage truth be told being as The Illuminati, Hydra, Spectre, the Thirteenth Directorate, World Association of Girl Guides & Girl Scouts, The Guild of Calamitous Intent and F.O.W.L had, had all of the really serious stuff locked up for years.)

“What do you think this setup is all about, Caesar?” asked Danseuse, taking in the super science lab they had stumbled onto on a small Caribbean island.

“Doesn’t matter,,” said Stag. " Our job is to shoot lots of stuff and then blow the place to bits and get back to COUSINS HQ for the closing banter and vague `will they, won’t they’ innuendo.

“But what if it’s useful? Why don’t we try to take the plans back to HQ.”

“Not our job,” said Caesar.

“What if it does something interesting?” said June, persisting

“Like what?” asked Caesar, the sarcasm in his voice unmistakable.

“SIZZLE CRACKLE ZIIIG!” Went the super-science device in the WOOD ROBIN laboratory in reply.

That was when Stag and Danseuse found out that they had been observed the whole time when they had first landed on the hideout island. And had been deliberately guided in secret to find the room they were in, which housed a WOOD ROBIN innovation called the Ultimate Disguise Chamber, which was used to give their agents the perfect mission undercover disguises. And had been used by those watching the COUSINS again to turn them into a pair of spry healthy women in their 60s.

So the daring man and woman from COUSINS were left with two possibilities, destroy the device, shoot the place up and return to COUSINS HQ and stay as they were forever, or agree to join WOOD ROBIN and, after a time, be returned to their former selves.

Of course, there was only one thing such dedicated and well-trained agents could do.

A month after joining WOOD ROBIN, after all, the groups weren’t in the grand scheme of things all that different. (WR, however, did have a much better dental plan.) saw the debut on the world stage of two new super-spies, Carmille (Caesar) and Juliette (June), known now as the Glissante Sisters, with a contract to work for WOOD ROBIN for five years before they could return and step into the Ultimate Disguise Chamber to be returned to their former selves.

And a wild five years it was, too (oddly, it seemed that June Danseuse was the one most anxious to get it all over with while Caesar went with the flow.)

In 1973 at the end of those five years, The Glissante Sisters returned to the island.

Unfortunately, in the clandestine world at large, WOOD ROBIN had never really been all that much and so didn’t have that large a budget, so the Ultimate Disguise Chamber wasn’t the thing of wonder it once had been, and they just couldn’t return them exactly as they had been. They did the best they could, however.

The results were that they were remade into copies of June Danseuse as she had been when she was 23 years old (in 1968, when it all started, she had been 34, so… you’re welcome!)

Cashiered out of WOOD ROBIN, the pair found themselves at their wits end, they could hardly return to C.O.U.S.I.N.S., but what to do next?

They tried freelancing for a while, but the cost of replacing ripped, skin-tight bodysuits was just too costly.

Then Julie Danseuse, as Caesar Stag now called herself, had an idea.

It was not long then until the world was introduced to…

Julie and Juliette Danseuse, The Disco Detectives.

Their first job was The Serial Disco Inferno Case.

Then came "Blame it On the Boogeyman" and "Can’t Stop The Murders."

"The Bad Girl, Dancing Queen Kidnapping,” "Macho Manslaughter in the First Degree." and "Will I Survive." followed.

All the way to their biggest case, “We Are Family” (as in the mob)

In 1985 they just got into accounting and opened an H&R Block.

Elon Musk, the renowned CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, recently addressed a crowd during a town hall meeting in Pittsburgh, sharing insights about cryptocurrency's role in preserving individual freedoms. Although he refrained from explicitly endorsing XRP, Musk emphasized how digital currencies like it can play a pivotal role in counteracting centralized control. His remarks resonated with supporters of XRP, particularly as Ripple Laboratories continues its ongoing legal tussle with the SEC regarding the classification of XRP as a security. Musk’s comments highlighted a growing realization in the financial landscape: the significance of cryptocurrencies extends beyond mere investment opportunities; they offer a potential pathway toward a more decentralized economic system. For instance, XRP advocates believe that the currency’s unique features can facilitate faster cross-border transactions compared to traditional banking systems. As transaction speeds increase and costs decrease, XRP could stand out as a practical solution amidst the challenges of global remittances. Moreover, the legal implications surrounding XRP cannot be ignored. Ripple’s CEO, Brad Garlinghouse, supported Musk's viewpoint, insisting that cryptocurrency regulations should evolve to foster innovation rather than hinder it. Garlinghouse contends that many voters are starting to recognize cryptocurrencies not just as financial instruments, but as essential tools for enabling innovation and empowering individuals in a digital economy. This aligns with a broader narrative—one where regulatory frameworks are increasingly evaluated on their impact on technological advancement. During the event, Musk also pointed to Tesla’s substantial financial maneuvers involving cryptocurrency. Recently, Tesla executed a transfer of $765 million worth of Bitcoin into new wallets. This strategic move signals Tesla's continued engagement with cryptocurrencies despite its earlier decision to halt Bitcoin payments over environmental concerns in 2021. Notably, the company has pivoted to accepting Dogecoin for certain merchandise, further solidifying Musk’s ongoing involvement in the crypto market. The mining process and energy consumption connected to cryptocurrencies have raised significant concerns, particularly in the context of environmental sustainability. Musk’s comments added an important dimension, suggesting that while there may be challenges, innovation in the energy efficiency of blockchain technology remains crucial for the future of cryptocurrencies. As digital currencies become mainstream, discussions surrounding them reflect evolving societal values. In democratic setups, voters are prioritizing policies that encourage responsible innovation and individual autonomy in financial transactions. The growing interest in cryptocurrencies may prompt legislators to comprehensively review existing financial regulations to create a more conducive environment for crypto technologies. Furthermore, Musk's assertions tie into a fundamental ethos of cryptocurrencies: empowering individuals against the backdrop of centralized banking entities and governmental authority. Histories of economic crises have often made populations more receptive to alternatives like cryptocurrencies, which promise greater control over personal finances. This is evident in emerging economies where citizens are increasingly turning to digital currencies as a means of preserving wealth against hyperinflation. In conclusion, the intersection of cryptocurrency and politics is indeed an area to watch. Musk's acknowledgment of cryptocurrencies' role in decentralization aligns with sentiments shared by an ever-growing community of advocates pushing for regulatory advancements. The path forward will necessitate engagement from not just corporate entities, but also governments and civil societies in harmonizing regulatory frameworks and promoting transparency. The future of cryptocurrencies, especially XRP, will undoubtedly involve navigating these complex dynamics.

If adequately harnessed, crypto has the potential to transform economies by fostering innovation and supporting the autonomy of individuals over their financial futures. As this narrative unfolds, the discourse surrounding digital currencies will likely serve as a bellwether for broader economic transformations poised to affect various sectors worldwide.

FFVII Rebirth and Gameplay at the Cost of Atmosphere

This is probably going to be part 1 of a series of posts/mini-essays so I'll write more on it later, but while doing one of the Chapter 12 Sidequests in Rebirth, I finally figured out how to phrase one of my biggest issues with this game:

There are several places in Rebirth where they include special gameplay at the cost of good atmosphere. This often, but not always, accompanies either a change or new addition to the plot.

I've put some elaboration on what I mean below. For now, it's only looking at that one sidequest in Chapter 12, though it happens all over the game. But the tl;dr is that sometimes game shoots itself in the foot/misses completely when trying to create a certain atmosphere because it prioritizes a certain type of gameplay that is antithetical to that atmosphere.

The Monsters Aren't Real, and How That Hurts the Atmosphere

The sidequest in question is Lament of the Damned, the sidequest in Shinra Manor where you go with Vincent to explore reports of a crying woman. The thing that got me about this one was the combat trials.

What's in the Game

When you go explore under the manor, both Vincent and Hojo mention deadly combat trials, which is a great setup for some horror and an overall creepy atmosphere. Because wow! If Hojo has no qualms about putting his own experiments to death if they don't prove worthy, that means he's really messed up! (And that Vincent in particular has had an even more disturbing past than we thought). The manor was definitely creepy in the original with all of the monsters roaming the halls and the pop up Ying Yang in particular. There are no more battles in the Shinra Manor (besides Cait Sith's section), so maybe this is their way of making up for that.

Except... in the Remake, the combat trials are just simulations. You don't have to face any real monsters. It's all fake. There are no monsters roaming the halls unchecked anymore, nor are there caged monsters, created for the sole purpose of testing your strength. And this lack of real monsters totally kills the deranged/creepy haunted house atmosphere the original Shinra Manor had.

(Which, to be fair, is already changed by the under-manor laboratory being a huge complex rather than a couple of rooms, which is part of the larger shift in atmosphere done for the entirety of Nibelheim. I won't go into to detail in this post, but while I thought the Cait Sith gameplay segment was actually a lot of fun, I was disappointed by how it killed the vibe too).

Room for Improvement

I personally believe the combat trial aspect would be much creepier and much more effective if you were trapped in a room and real monsters were suddenly let loose on you. Then it would feel like a real fight for your life, and make Vincent's comments about how subjects were disposed of via combat trial all the more impactful. Because simulations can't kill you (or at least, don't seem like they should be able to), so in the simulation verse, there should be no direct consequences to losing. It seems a lot dumber to be killed by a simulation than ripped apart by real monsters. Less scary, though I suppose there's a certain appeal to being killed by the unreal. Still, I don't think they leaned into that hard enough. Maybe they meant to imply that creatures which lost to the simulation would be disposed of either by real monsters or just euthanasia afterwards, but meh. I still think that's less disturbing than throwing test subjects into a room where they either defeat the monsters that have been loosed on them, or die a grisly death. And even if they do somehow die to the simulations, something about it just doesn't hit the same.

Having the monsters only be simulations also loses the disturbing aspect of the basement being inhabited by monsters of Hojo's creation that exist for the sole purpose of testing other experiments of his. Because isn't that messed up? For Hojo to create beings whose sole purpose is to, ideally, be killed by his more successful test subjects? To have to face creatures which may have once been normal animals or innocent civilians who have been twisted to fight but can never be saved, so you must either kill them or die yourself? When the monsters you fight are just simulations, you lose that thought/fear of "oh no, look what he's done to these real living creatures, not only mutating them but sending them to their deaths for his amusement."

When the monsters are fake/just simulations, it means Hojo isn't hurting as many real people, and you don't have to face the disturbing idea of having to put down real beings who probably once had real thoughts and feelings. (Which would've been SO GOOD with the line Vincent has after the combat trials, where he DOES talk about Monsters having feelings. But the monsters you fight aren't real. Not until the very last one. So it doesn't hit the same).

So tl;dr of this section: the fact that the simulations are just that- only simulations, i.e. not real- both reduces the threat level in terms of danger to the character, and eliminates the disturbing realization that Hojo has created creatures who are (if his experiments are successful) are meant to die. Both the atmosphere of the manor and Hojo's character lose out there, imo.

Why the Monsters Aren't Real, or the Gameplay Reason

After beating the combat trials, I came to realize (the likely reason) why they made the combat trials simulations rather than real battles: so they could include combat objectives and so you can take the trials at your own pace (i.e. leave and come back).

Repeating the Trials/Combat Objectives

First, the combat objectives.

There are two types: timers and stagger. If you were fighting against real enemies, having a stagger requirement wouldn't make as much sense, since a real battle should really just be about surviving. Why would you need to stagger them? What would happen if you didn't? Would a monster be more likely to kill you if you didn't stagger it? That's not how it works in gameplay. As for the timer, I could see there still being a timer requirement in the form of these enemies doing some sort of enrage move after a set amount of time, but the stagger one doesn't make as much sense. (For people who don't know what enrage is, it's the idea that an enemy will use an unlivable attack against you. An unavoidable OHKO.)

By making the fights simulations rather than real battles, it then makes sense for Hojo (cough cough the devs) to implement certain specific requirements to progress. It also gives them a better excuse for why you might need to repeat the trials- you didn't meet the combat objectives, so now you have to do it again. Because the trials don't auto-fail if you don't meet the combat objectives, you just don't get to go forward.

But I think it loses sight of the creepy scientist and horror basement thing if what you're fighting isn't real. There is no penalty for not doing the trial "right." If there was an actual enrage at the end of the timer (i.e. if you just straight up lost/died), then that would be terrifying! Because wow, Hojo is willing to kill his subject if they're not fast enough! But no, he just doesn't pass them and has them try again. Which makes him less creepy/insane seeming, because now he's kinder because he's willing to give things a second chance. It's less impactful.

In my opinion, being able to implement combat objectives isn't worth that loss of impact. Because combat objectives don't have to be in this part of the game. Chadley has combat objectives in his simulator. If they want us to do combat simulator stuff, have us do it with Chadley. Don't hurt the atmosphere in the manor to include this dumb requirement, which not only means there's less threat in the form of the monsters not being real, but also kills any sense of urgency because you can repeat the trials as many times as you want, or even come back later if you don't have the time. It's a loss of atmosphere for the sake of gameplay in a bad way. They didn't have to write it like this, but they did. And it happens several times through this game.

Backing Out/Limited Creature Game Logic

Speaking of which...I think it's okay to have the occasional unskippable battle, or occasional battle arena where you have to beat them all to progress/do them all over if you run, but the devs sure don't. If the battles weren't simulations, it would make a lot of sense for them to be one after the other. Battles where you've got to do them all to make it through.

Since they're not real battles and are simulations you have to execute, it makes sense that you can come and go. But I don't think that's the order that concept was conceived in; instead I think the devs went "in order to allow the player to come and go at any time, we should make it so you only have to do the battles one by one, and a simulation would be great for that!" And the game really hand holds you with that. Most of Chadley's simulations have multiple battles in a row where you have to beat them all to proceed, but the ones in this sidequests are all individual battles with individual goals.

Now, I am all for accessibility and quality of life in gaming, and I really like that, for example, you can save basically everywhere now instead of needing a save point. But it's fine to remove a little bit of Quality of Life/Accessibility for a single sidequest where you face a battle gauntlet! I mean, the game already has points where it limits your access to Fast Travel so you have to progress the plot. And like I mentioned before, most of the Chadley battle simulations have multiple rounds too! Why not do that here, where you have to do the battles (at least the 4 simulation ones, I would be fine with stopping before the boss) before moving on? You can save right then and there! You're healed between battles too! It's okay to make things slightly less convenient sometimes for the sake of atmosphere! How cool/exciting would it be if Hojo set 4 rounds of monsters on you in a row, where you had to beat them all or game over? I'd love it. That would raise the stakes. And, it would make for a more unique atmosphere. But this isn't something that seems to be a high priority for Rebirth, which I find unfortunate.

(Sidenote, this happens with both gameplay and visuals. At least in the Cave of the Gi they had runestones instead of Jukeboxes... but they didn't bother to change the Jukebox in Vincent's room for some reason. Or to put it somewhere else if they didn't want to change the model. The jukebox and potion bench are so weird man. They kill the vibe made by the rest of the creepy basement full of coffins and candles. It's supposed to feel old and out of time, but the jukebox and bench ruin it.)

I could also see the argument that the devs made this a simulation rather than a real battle based on the logic that having an infinite number of monsters (for infinite tries to complete the objectives) makes less sense when they're real monsters rather than simulations, but I don't think that matters. This is a video game. There are already infinite monsters in the overworld. There can be infinite monsters here.

Finally, going back to the idea of stagger and time objectives from above...you could technically do those with real enemies too. Have it so Hojo will just send more monsters at you if you fail. Make it real Hojo instead of hologram AI Hojo. Or have the AI be able to detect that the enemies weren't staggered/killed in time! Now that I think about it, there are combat objectives against real enemies in the overworld, so they technically didn't need to make these battles part of a simulation for combat objectives. But I still feel strongly that these battles were made to be simulations instead of real battles for the sake of combat objectives.

Last Thoughts (for now!)

FFVII Rebirth has leaned very strongly into AI, simulation, and advanced technology that had not been conceived/wasn't in the public consciousness when the original was released. At times, the game wants to lean very hard into this new technology at the cost of the atmosphere that made the original so great. It's a different type of horror. A different type of creepy.

Being trapped in a virtual world can be terrifying, but it's a different type of terror to being trapped in the real world. Being killed by simulations sounds disturbing, but it's a different type of disturbing than being killed by real creatures. The writers may have done this because they felt it was an equivalent exchange (hehe), but for me at least, I find what the original did so much more striking.

Full disclaimer, I am not, and have never been, big into sci-fi. Remake and Rebirth lean into high tech sci-fi more than the OG did (which 100% had its own sci-fi aspects! I mean, the villain is an alien for starters, and the evil scientists' actions are central to the plot!), at the cost of some of the more down-to earth horror/other aspects of the original. I find this disappointing. It's a different choice that is sometimes really cool (ex. with so much technology it becomes much more obvious that Shinra has constant global surveillance, which is very distopian), but sometimes worse (ex. President Shinra only being a hologram rather than the real guy in Reactor No. 5 makes him seem a lot less cocky since he doesn't show up in person).

I think Shinra Manor as a whole has absolutely lost the atmosphere that made me love it so much in the original. It went from a grimy mansion to a sterile lab. Both are good settings for horror, but they just don't hit the same. This sidequest suffered from wanting to be part of that sterile high tech lab, instead of the low-tech horror of the original where people/Hojo seem(ed) to be playing god in much more material ways. Which is...a different point better left for another essay.

We'll see if I ever get to writing it, lol. For now I uh. Haven't actually finished the game. I have 91 hours and am only about an hour slash two sidequests into Chapter 12, but I haven't had much free time to continue. Hopefully this weekend I'll be able to push through some more!

Understanding The World of Quantum Computers

Imagine a computer so powerful that it could solve problems in seconds that would take our current machines millions of years. No, it's not science fiction—it's the exciting world of quantum computing, where bits become qubits and the impossible becomes possible. Let's dive into this technological marvel that might one day be as common as your smartphone!

A quantum computer is a supercomputer that exploits quantum mechanical phenomena or in other words, a quantum computer uses tiny particles to perform complex calculations. Unlike regular computers, quantum computers use qubits instead of bits!

A qubit means that it is either neither 0 or 1, think of it as a wave; it can go up and down at any given moment! This ability to be in multiple states simultaneously is known as superposition. At the same time, a bit in a classical computer is like a simple switch that can be either off (0) or on (1), a qubit can be both off and on simultaneously, providing an incredible amount of computational power. But how do they really work?

How Quantum Computers Actually Work

Superposition: As mentioned, qubits can exist in multiple states at once. This allows quantum computers to process a vast amount of information simultaneously.

Entanglement: This is a phenomenon where qubits become intertwined, so the state of one qubit can depend on another, no matter how far apart they are. This can massively increase computational power.

Quantum Gates: Similarto logic gates (a device that acts as a building block for digital circuits) in classical computers, quantum gates manipulate qubits. but because of superposition and entanglement, quantum gates can perform complex operations much faster than classical gates (smartphones, tablets, etc).

What Do Quantum Computers Look Like?

Unlike the sleek laptops and smartphones we use today, quantum computers look very different. They are usually large (5ft wide & 20ft long), complex machines housed in specialized laboratories. A typical quantum computer setup includes:

Cryogenic Systems: Quantum computers need extremely low temperatures to function, often close to absolute zero (kelvin or -273.15 degrees Celsius or -460 degrees Fahrenheit). This requires sophisticated cooling systems.

Quantum Processor: The heart of a quantum computer, where qubits are manipulated.

Control Systems: These are used to manage and operate the quantum processor, often involving complex electronics and software.

In other words, quantum computers are not something you can slip into your pocket or place on your desk. They currently require a highly controlled environment and are far from being household items.

Why Does This Matter?

The potential of quantum computers is amazing. Here are a few areas where they could make a significant impact:

Cryptography: Quantum computers could break current encryption methods, making our data vulnerable. However, they could also create unbreakable encryption.

Drug (Health) Discovery: They can simulate molecular structures much more efficiently than classical computers, speeding up the process of drug discovery and development.

Optimization: Quantum computers can solve complex optimization problems that are currently unsolvable, impacting industries from logistics to finance.

SonicSense Gives Robots Human-Like Sensing Abilities Through Acoustic Vibrations

Duke University researchers have unveiled a groundbreaking advancement in robotic sensing technology that could fundamentally change how robots interact with their environment. The innovative system, called SonicSense, enables robots to interpret their surroundings through acoustic vibrations, marking a significant shift from traditional vision-based robotic perception.

In robotics, the ability to accurately perceive and interact with objects remains a crucial challenge. While humans naturally combine multiple senses to understand their environment, robots have primarily relied on visual data, limiting their ability to fully comprehend and manipulate objects in complex scenarios.

The development of SonicSense represents a significant leap forward in bridging this gap. By incorporating acoustic sensing capabilities, this new technology enables robots to gather detailed information about objects through physical interaction, similar to how humans instinctively use touch and sound to understand their surroundings.

Breaking Down SonicSense Technology

The system’s innovative design centers around a robotic hand equipped with four fingers, each containing a contact microphone embedded in its fingertip. These specialized sensors capture vibrations generated during various interactions with objects, such as tapping, grasping, or shaking.

What sets SonicSense apart is its sophisticated approach to acoustic sensing. The contact microphones are specifically designed to filter out ambient noise, ensuring clean data collection during object interaction. As Jiaxun Liu, the study’s lead author, explains, “We wanted to create a solution that could work with complex and diverse objects found on a daily basis, giving robots a much richer ability to ‘feel’ and understand the world.”

The system’s accessibility is particularly noteworthy. Built using commercially available components, including the same contact microphones used by musicians for guitar recording, and incorporating 3D-printed elements, the entire setup costs just over $200. This cost-effective approach makes the technology more accessible for widespread adoption and further development.

Advancing Beyond Visual Recognition

Traditional vision-based robotic systems face numerous limitations, particularly when dealing with transparent or reflective surfaces, or objects with complex geometries. As Professor Boyuan Chen notes, “While vision is essential, sound adds layers of information that can reveal things the eye might miss.”

SonicSense overcomes these limitations through its multi-finger approach and advanced AI integration. The system can identify objects composed of different materials, understand complex geometric shapes, and even determine the contents of containers – capabilities that have proven challenging for conventional visual recognition systems.

The technology’s ability to work with multiple contact points simultaneously allows for more comprehensive object analysis. By combining data from all four fingers, the system can build detailed 3D reconstructions of objects and accurately determine their material composition. For new objects, the system might require up to 20 different interactions to reach a conclusion, but for familiar items, accurate identification can be achieved in as few as four interactions.

Real-World Applications and Testing

The practical applications of SonicSense extend far beyond laboratory demonstrations. The system has proven particularly effective in scenarios that traditionally challenge robotic perception systems. Through systematic testing, researchers demonstrated its ability to perform complex tasks such as determining the number and shape of dice within a container, measuring liquid levels in bottles, and creating accurate 3D reconstructions of objects through surface exploration.

These capabilities address real-world challenges in manufacturing, quality control, and automation. Unlike previous acoustic sensing attempts, SonicSense’s multi-finger approach and ambient noise filtering make it particularly suited for dynamic industrial environments where multiple sensory inputs are necessary for accurate object manipulation and assessment.

The research team is actively expanding SonicSense’s capabilities to handle multiple object interactions simultaneously. “This is only the beginning,” says Professor Chen. “In the future, we envision SonicSense being used in more advanced robotic hands with dexterous manipulation skills, allowing robots to perform tasks that require a nuanced sense of touch.”

The integration of object-tracking algorithms is currently underway, aimed at enabling robots to navigate and interact with objects in cluttered, dynamic environments. This development, combined with plans to incorporate additional sensory modalities such as pressure and temperature sensing, points toward increasingly sophisticated human-like manipulation capabilities.

The Bottom Line

The development of SonicSense represents a significant milestone in robotic perception, demonstrating how acoustic sensing can complement visual systems to create more capable and adaptable robots.

Look for manufacturers that use high-quality materials and have a proven track record of producing durable cases. Ask about their testing and inspection procedures to ensure that every case meets their quality standards. You should also ask about their warranty and repair policies in case something goes wrong with the case. Some manufacturers may offer a lifetime warranty or a dedicated repair service to ensure that your case continues to perform well over time.

Assessing Customer Service and Support: A Key Differentiator

Customer service and support are essential when working with a custom case manufacturer. You want to partner with a company that is responsive, communicative, and willing to work with you to meet your needs. Look for manufacturers that offer dedicated customer support, including phone, email, and online chat options. Pay attention to their response times and willingness to answer questions and address concerns. You should also ask about their design and engineering support, including their ability to provide CAD designs, prototypes, and samples. Some manufacturers may offer a dedicated project manager to oversee your project from start to finish.

Comparing Pricing and Lead Times: Balancing Cost and Speed

When choosing a custom case manufacturer, pricing and lead times are important factors to consider. You want to balance the cost of the case with the speed of production and delivery. Look for manufacturers that offer competitive pricing and flexible lead times to meet your needs. Some manufacturers may offer expedited production options or rush orders for an additional fee. Be sure to ask about any minimum order quantities or setup fees that may apply. You should also consider the total cost of ownership, including any ongoing maintenance or repair costs associated with the case.

Checking for Certifications and Compliance: Meeting Regulatory Requirements

Depending on the industry or application, there may be regulatory requirements or certifications that need to be met. Look for manufacturers that have the necessary certifications, such as ISO 9001, ISO 13485, or UL (Underwriters Laboratories). Some manufacturers may also have experience with industry-specific regulations, such as FDA or CE marking. Be sure to ask about their compliance processes and procedures to ensure that your custom case meets all relevant requirements.

Making the Final Decision: Choosing the Right Custom Case Manufacturer

After researching and evaluating potential manufacturers, it's time to make a decision. Consider all the factors mentioned above, including quality, durability, customer service, pricing, and certifications. Ask for references or case studies to see how the manufacturer has performed in the past. Trust your instincts and choose a manufacturer that you feel confident can meet your needs and deliver a high-quality custom case. By taking the time to choose the right manufacturer, you can ensure that your product is protected and showcased in the best possible way.
