@ACuriousMind eh?

ACuriousMind

@DanielSank I find the text not being justified much worse for my reading experience than the font, for example

12:42 AM

@ACuriousMind 0celo7 asks how in-depth your FA class went into the boundary conditions relating to Sobolev embeddings.

specifically: if a Lipschitz condition on the boundary implies a cone property

@obe: Hey! Are you Ice lord or was that Obliv?

@Kaumudi.H, hello!

user228700

@heather Hi :-)

@BernardoMeurer, hello to you too!

@Kaumudi.H I was obe when I left.

so I don't get what you're asking.

user228700

@obe I'm asking if at any point of time your name had been Ice Lord.

2:30 AM

yea

user228700

Cool. Glad that you're back :-)

thanks.

@heather Howdy

i heard you're transferring to canada.

best of luck =)

Last night dream is a platformer game of some kind where the ending hints at a very dystopian story:

2:40 AM

I think I'll be trying yeah :)

Thanks

@Secret I literally talk about your dreams every day to people

Ending text:
"Eventually it was discovered that among the human |male female (forgot) (forgot)|, the females and the last surviving (forgot race name start with C) male were found to be at its prime. Eventually an eurasian female was produced who was the first one to be free of any genetic errors. Since then those who are terminally ill have been receiving constant transfusion of the perfect genetic cells to prolong their lives."
"It may also serve as a cautionary tale to the situation in Hong Kong."

@BernardoMeurer you're transferring to canada?

user228700

@Secret Where is the starting text? This sounds a bit like Divergent, now I'm curious...

@obe Applying

where to?

2:42 AM

There is no starting text, the whole thing is a platformer flash game where the main character is an eurasian female (although appearance is white blonde) and throughout 6 levels, you played as her as she made her way to the exit

user228700

@BernardoMeurer Good luck :-)

the ending is kinda bleck when you realise that...:

user228700

@Secret Ohh, I thought you were describing a dream.

At the final level, which is layered on top of some old marvel comic like drawing style showing a crowd of humans, along with a comic panel on the right showing the blonde woman seemly resting on a basic hospital bed receiving some kind of transfusion and

look content but tired. The game eventually end when the woman character jump slightly to the right which is then replaced by a similar panal of the woman on the hospital bed. The level then fade away and replaced by the following ending paragraph:

@obe UW and UT

2:43 AM

It is my last night dream

@Kaumudi.H God bless

Ihave no idea why it can fabricate so much stories recently

That is, the whole game take place WITHIN the dream

Here's how it started:

user228700

@Secret That's crazy. Say, dyou feel refreshed after waking up from one of these dreams?

Playing a game where the main character is a blonde woman character (wearing gray t shirt and dark trousers. Reminds of gym and action females in various movies). The

game is perspective 2.5D and has 6 dark levels took place among building tops. The woman jump from the top of some dark buildings, avoiding the white square spotlights as she carefully made her way down to the exit at each levels. Level 5 has conveyor belts and some electric flooring of some sort. In level 1, there are also some hoodie guys roaming around that does not seemed to do anything.

@Kaumudi.H Well, I feel quite normal, neither refreshed nor tired

user228700

@BernardoMeurer :-) Hereabouts, "God bless" is only told by the elders. Is this the case in your culture as well?

2:46 AM

This is what level 1 roughly look like:

You start at the top of a building and work your way down. Many hoodie guys walk around in the streets but they don't seemed to do anything

And this is roughly what level 5 look like

@Kaumudi.H As it so happens, yes, I hadn't thought of this. It's something my grandmother would tell me.

The long light gray rectangle is a conveyor belt and the 3 grate looking things are electric plates

I say it to people though

As for the story itself, it strongly reminds of the Mazerunner triology, such as the theme of transfusion and harvesting people to prolong a dying society

user228700

@Secret Wow, you were able to remember and draw/design a picture?!

2:49 AM

It's not common to have such vivid dream recall, but they do happen

Btw, there's another wall of text after I finished that game and close the window:

"Time travel done right:
Many stories like to include time travel simply because to give a very loopappro(forgot)aloop impression
However all characters must exists WITHIN the loop (drawing of a rectangular loop). Please ensure this when writing a time travel story
Please refer to the following (7 minibook icons including Doctor Who, Time Travelers wife etc.) to ensure that!
(rest of text not read and then I proceed to the powerpoint (in the dream) to recreate the game scenes)

user228700

Firstly, Do not spoil the mazerunner trilogy because I haven't read the books (and don't plan on it--I have read too many dystopian novels for my liking already) and will watch the last movie when it comes out.

user228700

Secondly, when I read the Ending text, it reminded me more of Divergent.

oops, sorry I did not knew you haven't read mazerunner. Apologies

@BernardoMeurer nice

good luck

user228700

@Secret No problemo :-) You didn't reveal anything that I don't know already but I only wanted to bring light to the fact that I'm waiting for the last movie and it would be nice to watch it un-spoiled. Hang on, let me read everything you posted just now... (Usually, I don't understand much of your dreams because it involves geometry so I don't bother to read everything:-P)

2:53 AM

@BernardoMeurer if you come to UT we can be best friends.

@Kaumudi.H ...one possibility is that I watched the 3rd movie (Allegiant) on a plane by accident last year (saw that when I peek through the seats and the passenger in front of me is watching it as it near its end)

@obe I owe you a lot of coffee

my dreams are known to include a lot of peripheral data received from my senses

@Kaumudi.H not spoiling, haven't watched the movie, but the books are terrible

lol

2:55 AM

My first thought after reading that time travel text and waking up is the following: Are these really MY thoughts?

user228700

@Secret I haven't watched Allegiant and I hear that it's nothing like the book. Dyou plan on reading the books?

@obe Do you have a car?

I am usually not patient enough to read novels (although I do get dragged in easily). I used to have that patience when I was young

user228700

@heather Thanks for the heads-up. I was debating about whether or not I should give it a go but now I will not :-P

@BernardoMeurer no, there's no parking here lmao

2:57 AM

I always felt like I have alot of task need to do except the schedule always end up trashed into the drain as I browse facebook like a zombie

@obe I'll need a canadian with a truck for moving lol

Gotta move all my vinyls

user228700

@Secret I absolutely love that you used the phrase "peripheral data received from my sense" to describe watching a movie by peeking at it from behind as someone else watched it on their screen.

@Kaumudi.H read the Giver series, four books, absolutely fabulous, by Lois Lowry - dystopian, but good dystopian. and i'm not a dystopian person.

user228700

@heather Ooh, I have heard of it. Will try to obtain a copy in the summer, thanks!

For that dream last night, I also strongly suspect that the fact it is rendered in 2.5D birdeye view might have something to do with yesterday's discussion.

user228700

2:59 AM

@Secret Oh, I see. Well, in the book, Tris dies at the end. Many many people (excluding me) hated this ending, which is why they changed the movie so much.

@BernardoMeurer It's kinda early to discuss these things but will you stay on residence or rent a place?

@Kaumudi.H four books: The Giver, Gathering Blue, The Messenger, Son

Well, the movie has this big difference, basically what you said have already spoiled about Tris

@obe No clue, probably residency b/c it's cheaper when it comes built into the tuition like @ UW

user228700

@Secret One time, I dreamed about a game. Unfortunately, I woke up but when I fell back asleep, the dream continued from where it had left off! It was the only time it happened and I am so grateful that it happened especially during a night in which I had dreamed about something so vivid.

3:01 AM

@BernardoMeurer UW is in a boring city, I don't think you would want to go there.

user228700

@Secret What other difference is there? I don't care so much for watching the movie...

@obe I'm a boring man

user228700

@heather Oh, I see. Thanks :-)

enjoy =D

and Isn't Waterloo close to Toronto?

user228700

3:02 AM

@heather In the summer! :-)

@Kaumudi.H Well if my memory serves: Tris lives, the group managed to stop the gas spreading and the bureau of whatever's existence is revealed to the public

@BernardoMeurer 1.5 hours driving.

At what speed?

highway speed.

user228700

@Secret Oh, I see. Hmm, IIRC, that's not too different from the books. I wonder what everybody was going on about. I preferred the ending in the book tho--she dies and there is a beautiful scene in which Four goes zip-lining through the broken city of Chicago and spreads her ashes all around. It is all the more touching because Four is afraid of heights but does this for her.

3:05 AM

it could be less if you're lucky, maybe 1 hour. @BernardoMeurer

user228700

Anyhoo, @Secret: Your brain is fascinating, to the say the least.

Meh than why would I not live in Waterloo? I can't take >1h every day to get to class

if you're going to UW you will have to live in Waterloo duh.

I already feel tempted to not go to class and I live 1.4km away lol

That happened to me roughly 4 times per week, although it really only count waking up at bed and going bed to sleep again. If I left the bed and go back to sleep, the dream will not continue.

I have dreams of a wide variety of structures. Seen many characters from Satan to God to Santa Claus to celebrities to my friends etc. Have experienced many crrazy spacetime geoemtries etc.

...The only know dream structure I yet to have is a "sequel dream" a dream that continues the story of where a past dream left of, and also recurring dreams.

3:07 AM

@BernardoMeurer I know that feel.

There are still some things I don't understand about my dreams: As 6 years worth of dream logging have shown, my mind seemed to remember intensely a lot of peripheral data that I (at least my conscious self) don't think or have reason to think they are interesting.

I have no idea why they so secretly caught my attention so strongly, to the extent that they manifest in my dreams

user228700

@Secret I would absolutely love to talk about your dreams more but for now, I have to finish some chapters :-(

ok

@Kaumudi.H, have you studied general relativity at all?

user228700

@heather 3 years ago, I studied it just a little bit for fun but I have long forgotten whatever little I learned and plan on taking it up in University later this year.
