Got patents on orcs and zombies so whenever someone release a game/case/movie with those they have to pay me 1.83% of their sales
Mar 3, 2018 02:33
The first game I made in the sim was called "Boxing Manager" a simulation game, just bought a 11M$ office with all the money I made and I'm about to release a better version of the Intel 8087 so that will give me even more money
Mar 3, 2018 02:32
But it's easily moddable so I was able to add companies by code to it and I'm enjoying selling tons of copies of an adventure game called "Where Kittens Dare" in 1980 on the various computers sold in 1980 and 1981 (trs80/atari 600/sinclair 80/apple II+ etc)

game/software industry sim
Mar 3, 2018 02:30
I'm good, playing at kinda serious/deep simulation game

It's golf in my story and the hero asked to make the world a better place instead of rewarding them, but the being was impressed with the selfishness and rewarded the hero with an increase to his closing skill in golf. Hero had a 25-30 handicap before and now he can't seem to go worse than par and the worse the lie the better he is. So he's getting a lot of attention ("That guy can't drive 230 yards but for some reason he can one-putt a ball 110 yard from the hole on the green")
Mar 3, 2018 02:22
So how do you justify a sudden massive increase in skill to friends and media when the real reason is that you helped a powerful being send an e-mail to NASA so they wouldn't worry about the sun turning purple for a couple of minutes while there was maintenance going on the universe.

The second link also explains why quantum field theory cover it better than newton laws would
Aug 4, 2016 23:46
It might be possible, but it seems it's really complex and nobody knows (and newton laws doesn't cover the quantum mechanics potentially involved)
Aug 4, 2016 23:32
see-u
Aug 4, 2016 23:29
Yeah I wanted to use part of it as a powerplant (ie: power a whole continent with a few grams of garbage) and some other part as a sort of replicator
Aug 4, 2016 23:28
because there are no known particles that could actually store all that energy and it violates the laws of conversation of energy
Aug 4, 2016 23:28
Bah from what I can see anyway it would have to be supernatural
Aug 4, 2016 23:23
That could be a way to limit it too, you have to almost immediatly use the energy you feed it with
Aug 4, 2016 23:22
the solution to cooling it would probably be similar to what we do with the 300 million Kelvins nuclear fusion reactor plasma....
Aug 4, 2016 23:21
or just feed it more garbage, or sewage water or nuclear waste ;)
Aug 4, 2016 23:20
Or since the energy involved is so big I could just decide that even if there is a loss of 5% in the system just feed it more gravel because what you get out has much more value
Aug 4, 2016 23:17
Would a perfect black body enclosing the system prevent heat loss? What if the thermodynamic process happens instantaneously?
Aug 4, 2016 23:16
So how can I bypass that without using a supernatural/paranormal/fantasy explanation?
Aug 4, 2016 23:13
that thing can just create iron atoms directly if it want, doesn't need to use all the energy normally required to fuse something up to iron
Aug 4, 2016 23:11
it's not taking energy from the void...
Aug 4, 2016 23:11
Im not sure why you guys mention perpetual motion machines, it's powered by any mass
Aug 4, 2016 23:10
so you could put in1kg of gravel as input and get 1kg of sugar if you wanted as output or store the energy for later
Aug 4, 2016 23:09
Nex Terren Im assuming that converting 1kg of matter would produce the same energy it takes to create 1kg of matter from energy with such a device
Aug 4, 2016 23:08
so it would be obvious that something was made with it, because it wouldn't need glue/screws/riverts etc to hold it, it would just place subatomic particles individually and force atomic bonds
Aug 4, 2016 23:07
I was thinking the device would use submolecular engineering and have enough precision to place subatomic particles while building something
Aug 4, 2016 23:05
both are living things...
Aug 4, 2016 23:05
of intelligent beings
Aug 4, 2016 23:05
If it can replicate food perfectly (pattern) why can't it create perfect clone?
Aug 4, 2016 23:05
There's the problem of life too
Aug 4, 2016 23:04
so this would be more like a sci-fi/fantasy hybrid?
Aug 4, 2016 23:02
Honestly I don't think anyone on this planet could describe how it works
Aug 4, 2016 23:01
yeah
Aug 4, 2016 23:00
Im assuming it's 100% efficient, can store energy to convert into matter, and can store matter to convert into energy (ie: it's a powerplant and a replicator)
Aug 4, 2016 22:59
1 ton of mass is about 21481 megatons of tnt
Aug 4, 2016 22:58
e=mc2 yeah
Aug 4, 2016 22:57
His idea was that everyone would be after that guy for obvious reasons, my idea is that they could hit a technical limitation that prevent them from converting more than their share of biomass per year (1 ton per person)
Aug 4, 2016 22:56
Wondering how I could limit it, because what's stopping that guy from basically converting all the rest-mass of the planet?
Aug 4, 2016 22:55
Hey me and another guy who likes writing sci-fi short stories been arguing. Id like to make a story about some dude finding/inventing a machine that can convert rest energy to matter and matter to rest energy
Aug 2, 2016 23:18
Speaking of which, what's the worst non-lethal winds you have experienced?
Aug 2, 2016 23:15
a silly exaggeration ;)
Aug 2, 2016 23:14
That was a joke
Aug 2, 2016 23:11
But because of inflation he'd have to pay like 800 x 10^23 $ for it
Aug 2, 2016 23:10
So in 20000 years the governor of Ganymede, which is your descendant, would get a call saying the family car is finally ready on Earth
Aug 2, 2016 23:09
I guess the mechanic (and you) would be dead by then, but the car (and the repairs) would be passed down from generation to generation
Aug 2, 2016 23:02
an xkcd what-if kinda mention that the oldest tools on earth (2.5m year) have traveled 250 light-years because Earth was 250 light-year from where it is right now back then
Aug 2, 2016 23:01
Saying your mechanic should have mentionned the planet, because if your car stays exactly here in a couple thousands of year Earth might be billions of kilometers from here
Aug 2, 2016 23:00
He should have mentionned planet too, because in the distant future there might me another planet where we currently are
