Is there any other meaning..?

[-] josephc@lemmy.ml 230 points 1 day ago

I had to noodle on this one for a while and ask around. I think, and this is only a guess, that this might be "consensual non-consent", which is a role play of sexual assault.

Wait so not command and conquer?

I say this in his voice all the time. This is my new favorite picture.

Same it's going right on the CRT. Goodbye Degurechaff and Cain. Hello Soviet Tim Curry.

Well, usually all parties taking party in a Command and Conquer match have consented to do so but what happens then usually involves quite a bit of non-consent.

Ah nostalgia. Please tell me there’s a Linux port of this.

[-] illpillow@lemmy.ml 2 points 17 hours ago

Runs quite well with WINE using CnCnet.

[-] fakeman_pretendname@feddit.uk 10 points 1 day ago

There's openra.net which is an open source "all the Command and Conquer games" engine, which may be of interest?

[-] foofiepie@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

Wow thank you. RIP my free time for a while.

[-] josephc@lemmy.ml 5 points 1 day ago

Oh! That could be it!

SPACE!

It's not necessarily role play of assault, though it can be that. It can also mean that blanket consent has been given ahead of time, and so the subject is unaware of what may happen to them or when, and by the nature of it can't give specific consent for any particular action. It can have to do with pushing/exploring boundaries, a power dynamic kink, or just enjoying the element of surprise, among others.

If you're doing it right, consent can be withdrawn at any time via a pre-established non-verbal signal and/or safeword, and any bondage equipment will have safety releases.

e: In case it's unclear, I just mean that the definition is more broad than that. I don't think there's anything wrong with role-playing assault.

So, essentially command and conquer

Wow, I’ve never been more terrified of “CNC machines”…

[-] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

I had to learn to program CNC machines with punch tape back in the eighties, so not too far off.

~~Computer Numerical Control~~ Consensual Non-Consent

[-] vrek@programming.dev 32 points 1 day ago

Ironically a few years back I was starting a project at work and was told one of the machines was a "miyano" I didn't know what that was so I googled it... Entire first page of images was anime.

Turns out it was a 12 axis lathe...

Well it had 3 bits from different directions that each moved in 4 axis(in/out, up/down, left right, spin) which could be used simultaneously and controlled independently.
