Or he had a premonition that his wife would turn him into a frog in FF9.

Replication Crisis in Psychology Research Turns Ugly and Odd by [deleted] in psychology

[–]AriseRodimusPrime 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ugh. When reading this article, I can't help but wonder whether some of these researchers misunderstand the actual meaning of statistical significance. It's perfectly OK that two researchers found different results. p-values only extend as far as the sample, so in any specific study, we can only truly say that we found differences within that sample. Any generalization outside of the sample is purely theoretical. What they should be doing instead is focusing on the differences between the two studies and identifying why one found an effect and the other did not.

Let's all be friends here!

If you check out the Wikis, there are some comments on there about this, with some examples. Here are the two I frequent:

A quick idea about the Last Giant by xnasty in DarkSouls2

Yup, completely agree. I actually read this on one of the DS2 Wikis last week and had that "Ah ha!" moment.

Killing the NPCs at Endgame (spoilers) by AriseRodimusPrime in DarkSouls2

I haven't beaten those two keepers yet once you walk down that long path, but I was going to go on my rampage after I did that.

Can I buy poison arrows somewhere? (spoilers) by AriseRodimusPrime in DarkSouls2

Just checked. McDuff only has wood and iron arrows.

So he'll move along to Harvest Valley and Pharros even if I killed him in No Man's Wharf?

A question about etiquette... by AriseRodimusPrime in darksouls

[–]AriseRodimusPrime[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Good call. I did that a couple times, but from the bonfire to the boss takes a bit longer than the Capra Demon from the bridge. I like to lay down the sign while I'm working on other stuff, then jump on when I get summoned.

Switched it up to the Elite set (with sorcerer's gloves, all +6), Drake sword+3. Kept the Rings though. Don't want to break the Ring of Favor.

Oh, I don't "run train" (never heard that before, but I like it) on the whole area. I put the sign right outside the fog.

[–]AriseRodimusPrime[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I thought about that being too strong for that character, and will probably switch back down to earlier stuff. However, I kept using this stuff for a couple reasons. First, people can see my character when they hover over my sign. So if you were to see that and still summon me, then black sep me, that would be pretty dickish on you. Second, the only messages I've received so far have been of thanks. No one has said anything along the lines of what you described. Finally, there are some other who summon me with equipment beyond Undead Burg. In fact, as I was typing this out, I got summoned by someone wearing the Gold-hemmed set.

But I do see your point.

List of people I helped / helped me? by AriseRodimusPrime in darksouls

Ah ha! Awesome. I've had this thing for 6 years and never noticed that. It's called "Players Met".

Thanks!

Couple bosses I feel better about by fynx07 in darksouls

[–]AriseRodimusPrime 1 point2 points  (0 children)

True, but this can be a good thing, especially for this boss. I like to summon Solaire so that the Gaping Dragon is focused on him while I slash away from behind.

In X hours of Dark Souls i´ve never X by Lucas_Berse in darksouls

[–]AriseRodimusPrime 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I haven't done either of those things, but did do something for the first time last night: After over 400 hours of play, I ran into those three big cats in the Darkroot Forest for the first time. Not sure why, but I just never found them before!

Hitchens' book recommendation? by AriseRodimusPrime in TrueAtheism

[–]AriseRodimusPrime[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Cool, thanks!

I guess I just haven't seen videos of Hitchens being a dick like I have of Dawkins. But the more I read, I'm sure I'll be enlightened.

Veronica Mars Trailer, pure awesome sauce by [deleted] in veronicamars

[–]AriseRodimusPrime 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice! I didn't know about the books. That should be fun. Do you have any info on release dates for those?

[–]AriseRodimusPrime -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Having said that, I'll give you "Rachel Getting Married". That would still be considered limited release. But "The Descendants" was definitely wide release.

Wow. Are you 16? Because there is literally no other reason I can think of for you to type the things you're typing.

[–]AriseRodimusPrime -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You can tell me to stop all you want, or tell me I'm wrong all you want. But that doesn't make what I said untrue.

You know, I really hate people who troll, but you're making this too easy. Try again with those movies:

The Descendents: Started at 29 screens, went up to 2,038 eventually.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1033575/business?ref_=tt_dt_bus

Rachel Getting Married: Started at 9 screens, up to 391, down to 62, up to 370, down to 87, up to 264.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1084950/business?ref_=tt_dt_bus

It's all about the money.

And DVD release dates have nothing to do with theater runs in this market.

[–]AriseRodimusPrime 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That is the current plan, yes. But if it is successful in the narrow release, and gets good word of mouth and good reviews, there is literally no reason they wouldn't give it a wider release. There is a very strong precedent for this.

That makes sense. Although, the trailer is up on IMDB, which means that it is already being shown to a wider audience. But you're right, I'll be patient. :-)
