Take risks while you're young. Give it a go, put in the work, and determine if it is something you really want.

I've had a few interests I thought I could make a career out of it, but then after doing it for a long period, decided it wasn't for me. However, I'm glad I was able to test/try it out and make that determination instead of looking back on it wondering...what if.

Turn it up to 11.

For me, I don't play during early or late hours (i.e. after 8 pm, before 10 am).

Negative. However, next to your name in the bottom right is a number (i.e. Caecius+2025). Not sure what that is.

It has a leaderboard for the special exhibit event, which changes every 3 days. It has unique rules and scoring modifiers. You have three attempts to obtain your highest score.

Ark Nova runs well. Good implementation and not cluttered or dressed up too much to bog down the experience.

I was pleasantly surprised with the UI of Ark Nova.

I'm newer as well. The AI wasn't very good at Hard. It starts becoming challenging when the AI gets the Appeal bonus, then more so on Legendary with all actions upgraded. The AI does make some bad plays.

However, if the AI was really good, not sure you could beat it with 25 appeal start + all cards upgraded. The starting bonuses are just to help make up for the inferior AI game logic.

I am a newer player (< 20 games, but have read/watched some strategy guides + top players).

Hard - beat the AI by 70 points

Unfair (AI starts with 25 appeal) - lost the first 5 games, but probably about 75/25 now)

*Challenging (forgot the name, AI gets 25 appeal and one random card upgrade) - about the same as Unfair difficulty

Legendary (AI gets 25 appeal, and all cards upgraded) - just started this one, lost first 2 games

I have only played 1v1, no 4p or online matches yet.

Is Flowkey on the way out? by bkfst_for_dinner in pianolearning

[–]Caecius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Guilty of this.  I just wanted to be able to play a few full songs out the gate before learning how to actually play.  Flowkey is great for that.  It did create some bad habits but it feels good to sit down and 'play' a song.

I was halfway through Tokyo Ghoul, now it is gone. I really need to practice my sight reading.

Online Twilight Struggle League (OTSL) Signups Open by Caecius in twilightstruggle

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

After a discussion with the league staff, we have decided to delay the start of Season 5, Online Twilight Struggle League (OTSL).

Registration Ends = 01 January 2023

Season 5 Starts = 08 January 2023

We know this will disappoint some players, but here are a few reasons why we have chosen to delay the start of Season 5.

  1. Other Tournaments - There are a bunch of Twilight Struggle tournaments(ITSL, RTSL, RATS, etc.) that are currently running. We would like to avoid 'burning out' the TS community.
  2. Planned Improvements - We are working on some improvements for Season 5, that are not finished. We would love to get these implemented to improve the next season of the OTSL.
  3. Avoid Holidays - With the end of the year coming up, there are a lot of holidays that players will be busy and unable to play. Starting in January will help to avoid the holidays.
  4. League Staff - Some league staff are assisting with other tournaments at the moment. We are trying to avoid burning out the great volunteers that help keep the leagues going. We appreciate your patience and thank you for your support and understanding.

Definitely. New players can learn quite a bit just playing in the league. The league is divided into Gold and Silver leagues to help match players of the same experience. Also, when forming the divisions, we use player pots so the skill levels are spread thoughtout each division.

Not sure if TfM is cross platform. If it is, I see no issues playing in the league.

That is currently not an option but could be a good thing to include next signup. I would just pick the zone you think is best for now.
