One thing I'll always remember about my GCSE science class teacher was the day we had finished covering the planets (inc Pluto - AS IT SHOULD BE) he drew me aside at the end of the lesson and asked "Why does the class always snicker when we talk about Uranus?"

So, I just went to a dark place in my memories, between (interestingly enough)
Khaos Komix and a conversation with Serps on facebook. (No blame to you Serpentine, I love you and I chose to go there). Anyway, I'm revisiting all my history of abuse and dysfunction in my mind, and I'm just stuck thinking that I'll never be comfortable with or understand my own sexuality. I don't know where I'm coming from, I don't know why one day something or someone can be so attractive and the next day thinking of the same thing will find me feeling so bad.
I'm glad I got to spend time with my girlfriend though. She's snuggly and wonderful.
Oh, I'm so sorry. *all of the hugs and sympathies*

I am a curious creature. This is like, low grade torture. Would anyone be willing to weather extraforumular contact from moi?
Oh, Kender mentioned it was Qaera. Also pretty sure it's supposed to be Uranus rather than Neptune.

We really need actual cyberspace... Virtual hugs are nice, but it would be nice to be able to actually feel them without having to resort to tricking my brain into generating feedback from non-existent data.

It's funny you should mention something like this. I have, for about a year now, been concepting a prototype for a 'fully-immersive interactive experience.'
I can do the sight and sound, no problem. Touch, smell and taste however, are going to be a problem. Touch not so much, it's just going to be tricky, plus I don't think people would be willing to strip down to put on some kind of weird pressure generating body suit thing.
edit: And before anyone can ask, I am not an engineer, just a tinkerer, so I cannot provide specs or information. Partly because I am just going with feel and instinct on the project, but mostly because its still conceptual.

Golly, I'm sorry. I don't know quite why you're soon that to yourself though. :smallfrown: unless you're a romantic, then it makes sense, but still. I do sincerely hope you feel better soon. Have hugs from me? *hugs*

Hm... Possibly that would work. I don't know though. It seems like you'd still not be getting the sensation of motion when you walked, for instance, though. How are you getting around that, and the way that people experience gravity pulling on them when they're in whatever position they adopt for it?
And if you're going to produce smell and taste, that pretty much requires that you use some sort of direct stimulation of those sections of the brain, yes? So if you're going to do that, why not just make the whole thing tie into all of the sensory centers?
Not to say that it's a bad idea, or try to trash your work, of course. I really am curious as to your answers to those questions, since this is something i've thought about a fair bit on a conceptual level as well.

To be honest, I not really sure. Obviously, with no professional education or training on the subjects I would never be able to test this on anyone but myself, but I wanted to be able to at least get feeling down before trying anything more real. And hey, I never said it would work, just wanna give it a shot. After all, if it inspires someone with better resources and education than me, then I win right?

On the sensory-immersion thing, that's fair enough. Not really something I have easy answers for either. I was mostly hoping that you were planning to make a marketable model of this, and trying to spot potential pitfalls to think about if you did...
And if any of this inspires people who are actually trained in relevant fields to work on it, it will indeed be worth it.
Also, gah, I quoted Lena, but it seems that I got too caught up in the other stuff to actually type a reply. So... *Hugs back*
It did indeed suck. Though fortunately, nothing actually came of it.

Guys, I strongly suggest a change of topic and leaving this for the mods to handle. Click the "report" button so that they can see it and then it's in their hands.
I like the idea of an LGBT themed Halloween thing with candy and rainbow coloured outfits. Just not sure how it would work. Any suggestions? :smallsmile:

Oh, alright. :smallannoyed: However, if I make this concession, the next dwarf planet we find in our solar system, we get to call it Tyrion. I know Socratov would be in favour of this idea.

:smallredface:Go ahead.
I would love to be able to make a marketable model, I have been daebating what kind of schooling to go back for so I could at least give it a better try than just making some very bad pictures in my various D&D campaign notebooks.

How about an actual Cheerfairy? I dunno, most of my creativity goes into planning D&D and weird total immersion cyberspace ideas. I have no fashion sense. At all.

What? No! That's horrible! You're horrible1! First Pluto gets tricked into losing the good domain by Jupiter, and now he's not even really a proper Sphere of the heavenly vault? Death god can't catch a break!
Seriously though, why is Pluto not a planet? Jupiter is a planet, and it's not even solid. Is this because of his gravity well? Well I say nay! Down with astronomical bullies! No spot just because you're huge and scary and have that one googly eye!

1: it should be noted that the aforementioned wizard of kenders is not actually horrible, and in fact is rather charming and articulate, but such clashed with the faux distressed tone required for the joke. Compensation for any damages can be received at the ticket booth after the request is brought for review by a triumvirate panel of the most dominant personality aspects at the time. Such compensation can be received in the form of hugs, cookies, a free art voucher, a sincere and heartfelt if stumbling apology, or an expired American bus ticket with a drunken note scribbled in lipstick upon the obverse side.

I guess with stereotypes, lots of pink and other flashy colors, in some cases even slutty outfits (not mandatory) booze and I think pretty much like every other halloweenparty with a few minor details...

Indeed I am, it also keeps with the whole riches and money theme we have going on (Pluto is the roman god of death and wealth (quite the double portfolio), Tyrion is, well, a member of an insanely rich family which can sustain the financial bleeding of a whole kingdom without becoming poor). Besides, it is rumored that a lot of the smaller planets and asteroids would have heavier elements in them, increasing the chance on gold :smallamused: (though iron, nickle and cobalt would still be most common in meteorites and such)
