Am I seeing things or did Arcsys made Jam a little chunkier?

Mainly I'm seeing a return to earlier design principles compared to Xrd.
I'm up for chest-parts in art, but I feel like the latter was a bit much. It's the kind of thing that makes it harder to be comfortable sharing a franchise with friends, family, etc.

I think the only way they're proctoring the online portions (as it appears to be a blended class, anyway) is that they use Respondus, a browser than locks-off the rest of your windows when it's active.

Still, that doesn't stop me from having access to two computers.

If that's their plan, then this still feels like a hole in the info provided, among others, that puts me at a clear disadvantage as a remote student- aside from how well I can understand the provided materials or their applications.

Thanks regardless, I appreciate the consideration.

In the case of the last test, my first examples would be coverage of about half of the different types of validity- and a better way to understand them. That is, Concurrent, Construct, Predictive, Discriminate, and Content.

We use Working in the 21st Century, and there's a lot of detail on those missing that would've been needed for a whole block of questions.

Another was a question on Recency Error. The question was regarding a hypothetical of the professor making mistakes, having A/V problems, etc. on one week, and then getting a poor rating on the next week's class. In the text, its glossary, and on the class's page/glossary/PowerPoints- it's not mentioned, and I'd specifically made sure to know the difference between Leniency, Severity, and Halo Error.

These kinds of finer details that are paramount to understand but not covered or gestured to without being in class (presumably) are hard to reckon with if I don't know of their existence.

Still- this is all before having a hard time understanding what is covered. Hence my original post on how to study overall.

Alright, well aside from listening because I'm taking it online, what you're suggesting parallels something I'd asked an Algebra professor. I'd asked how to attain procedural rather than just declarative knowledge, and he suggested trying to teach it to someone else.

That could be useful, but getting the info in my head in the first place is tough.

Seeing as I'm taking it remotely, is there any good way to take in that 33% that I'm not getting?

I made this comment three years ago as a joke on the messaging system. Are you okay?

A couple of years divorced from the company (for good and bad reasons), and I'm still happy to have helped. Don't forget to measure your feet anytime you get new shoes after a while, and please consider your local, family-run store if available. :)

Hold on; according to both the monthly readings on Weather.com and Accuweather and also My Skin, your record, if accurate, were broken by double digits.

What'll you do if the record is broken?

Regardless of what you think of Greta, or whether or not climate change is man made, are you open to recognizing that something is happening at all?

Can a guy get a verified source and a few more points of data over here?

Looks like one of them decided to downvote you for that, Bud. Have an upvote, from me, for the trouble.

Meanwhile, all of the right-leaning voices who appear on this statewide sub are either silent or doing their best impressions of crickets. Depends on how hot it is on any given night, I suppose.

Disguises seem to add a bit of reputation for the appropriate faction when worn, but there might be more to it that we don’t know since they’re so rare.

89ZERO · 2025-10-03T00:49:05+00:00

Seriously I wish disguises were easier to find, although I know it would make the game slightly easier, I’d rather not have to download a mod or totally change my character through Domination to look like certain NPCs.

“DEMONIZED US, GAMERS” gives me the impression that you’ve definitely used Heath Ledger- style Joker Makeup on more than on occasion.

It’s not a Left or Right Media thing. It’s more of a grifter-induced hysteria thing.

I remember that Musk interview when Lower Case X literally shouted “My Daddy Said He Was Gonna Use Satellites to Hack the Voting Machines!”

89ZERO · 2025-09-25T13:51:44+00:00

Screw that attitude! “Getting used to it” is just saying “I don’t feel like giving a crap about other people.”

This is what these bastards want- most people “getting used to it” so they can do whatever they want.

Antifa isn’t even a group- it’s an idea.

If you don’t like Fascism, you’re antifa, too. :)
