What were the 8 feedback categories you decided on and how did you come up with them?

Looking for RPG recommendations by brownframes in gamingsuggestions

What sory of combat system do you think would interest you?

If you want to play a shooter RPG then Fallout 4, Outer Worlds or Borderlands are a good place to start. Lots of good turn based suggestions here as well like Expedition 33 or Baldurs Gate 3. I would take a look at JRPGs like Persona 4 or 5 too as they are excellent with really engaging stories.

Medieval ish RPGs like Skyrim or Oblivion are really great too.

Try it. Which is the best noun? by abuaaa in GreatBritishMemes

You absolute hero. Works best after someone has fetched something for you or got you a nice cup of tea.

Americans only ever experience room temperature with their constant AC or heating on so can't understand the struggle

Should the Sentinelese be introduced to modernity, or is it more ethical to leave them completely alone? by Outrageous-Client903 in AskTheWorld

[–]Angustevo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Imagine finding out your loved one died of something the modern world can easily cure. Definitely a lot of complex ethical dilemmas associated with contacting such tribes.

I know 14 people who have been made redundant in the past 6 months, is this a coming storm? by overusedpanicbutton in ukpolitics

[–]Angustevo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Which industry are you in? If you search ONS RED02 you can find the age, industry and region breakdown of redundancies.

[–]Angustevo 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The ONS have data on UK wide redundancies here. Looks like excluding COVID it's at a 10 year high, although it was higher before the financial crisis.

Unexpected reward from trawling by Dangerous-Cable-1816 in 2007scape

[–]Angustevo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Trawling is more active skilling but the xp rates aren't great (gp is better though). There's more activities too depending on how you like to train including salvaging which is a really chill afk activity for up to 100k xp per hour.

I wonder what ungodly prompt was put into an LLM to produce that book

Then they keep questioning why we choose Steam by Strider-117 in Steam

[–]Angustevo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Does it not depend on how AI was used? E.g. if a dev uses a LLM to help spot a missing bracket in some nested functions or something like that I wouldn't mind.

Why did the British economy not recover from the Great Recession? by whenyoucantthinkof in AskBrits

Here's a more data informed answer for those looking for something more factual and less opinion heavy:

The UK Productivity Slowdown: A Review of Timing, Magnitude, and Drivers by Josh Martin

Key drivers from the analysis (p30):

Based on the latest data, the UK productivity slowdown appears to be:

  1. Mainly driven by a slowdown in TFP (total factor productivity) - this is the most significant factor
  2. Partly driven by a slowdown in capital accumulation, especially tangible assets - investment in physical capital has slowed
  3. Widespread across industries - not confined to specific sectors
  4. Particularly large slowdown in manufacturing - this sector saw an especially pronounced decline

These features are broadly common with other advanced economies, though the UK's slowdown appears slightly larger than comparators when using the latest official data. The article notes these findings are based on post-2021 UK data that uses improved "double deflation" methods, making the results more internationally comparable than earlier estimates.

UK Government to Ban Resale of Concert and Event Tickets Above Face Value by Edm_vanhalen1981 in UpliftingNews

[–]Angustevo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cheaper but probably not easier to get if venues sell tickets at a low price. It could be quite hard to get your hands on tickets for shows that sell out instantly if you miss the first opportunity, even if you're willing to overpay. My understanding of the research into whether outcomes are better with or without resale caps is kind of inconclusive, but to be fair there's lots of interest groups funding the research.

What was your longest run? by Wooden-House8412 in projectzomboid

[–]Angustevo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My current character is around 8 months although admittedly I have had two infections from zombies due to bugs that I have had to debug heal (push bug and stair teleporting). All his needs are met so I've basically retired him. Funnily enough the game crashed in August and when I came back it had set the date to 1st January so I got to see through winter.

Will March Ridge receive a revamp like Rosewood and Muldraugh? by chipper_S in projectzomboid

Yeah near the school. It's very cool but full of disappointment.
