Non-Euclidean space is the only place to look for affordable housing these days.

I went to non-Euclidian space and all I got was this lousy username.

Responsible adults are boring and should live a little!

Code Parade has a neat video on non-Euclidean spaces for those that want to learn more about them and see them in action.

He also made a game called 4D golf and Hyperbolica. I am not sure if they count as non-Euclidean but it feels similarly surreal. It's been a while since I really got into non-Euclidean geometry.

Im quite sure hyperbolica is specifically non-euclidean space game but 4-d golf is euclidean with an extra dimension

Also check out hyperrogue if you get the chance. It's a turn based top down game with a non-euclidean, procedural game board

You realize we all live on the surface of a sphere, right? Literally all of us are in non euclidean space

All of us? One small village of indomitable ~~Gauls~~ flat earthers still holds out against the invaders.

Pfft luddites, flat universe is the new hotness

Very well. No Chtulhu for you!

what if it’s not euclidean but only locally euclidean?

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 months ago

Something something baldurs gate 3

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 months ago

I was just playing. :)

Remember kids! Fractals are gateway maths. Say no!

Jokes on you I play Hyperbolica.

Me on psychedelics: yes 😏🌀🪅

One-fifth of Star Trek episodes be like

There’s a general rule I have, that has few exceptions. For sci fi, if they touch time travel I get vaguely annoyed. It just becomes a lazy dues ex machina- like St:Voy’s year of hell arc. You know how they’re gonna fix it, you know it’s gonna just be waved away, and you know the entire plot arc is just not gonna matter.

Non Euclidean space isn’t nearly that bad, usually.

(Dr. Who is an obvious exception.)
