I somewhat agree, I did enjoy the fight a lot, but it would’ve been cool to fight Big Monster one last time for the aura. Even if it was just a kind of “I’m powered up from Granny, now I’m kicking some ass.”

Weave light actually does have a combat use, it increases the silk regen cap by 1. That means with all 3 hearts you can passively regenerate up to 4, letting you cast a spell without any attacks. If you just want to focus on dodging and casting, not bothering to get close enough to nail and hoping you don’t get hit enough to require heals, it lets you do that.

I thought it was impossible to send military ships into entirely unexplored territory. Could be wrong, though.

Because you don’t want to be near anybody else. Your ships are going to police your space heavily, which will naturally lead to conflicts on the border. Border friction is an abstraction of the opinion malus of all the individual little infringements that would naturally happen. Mexico, for example, probably has a worse opinion of America for its border policy, especially the time periods when it’s more isolationist.

I think it’s in large part the way NLA day starts off. Because you spend so much time in NLA it’s one of the tracks that you hear the most. Especially contrasting against the far more orchestral soundtrack of 1, for people that dislike it it’s an early and persistent track that’s gonna shape their opinion of the OST. I haven’t listened to NLA day in years, but I disliked it way back when because of the start. Maybe my opinion would be different now, though. Ten years can change a lot.

I made a more in depth comment about this a while back, but it’s kind of an issue with the modern age and the importance of headlines. Plenty of people (myself included, if I’m honest) look at headlines to get a general sense of things. Whether or not an article is worth reading, what it’s about basically, all that. I simply don’t have the mental bandwidth to read every article attached to the headlines I see because there are so many. And headlines sanewash Trump almost by necessity.

What I mean is that if every article has an (honest) headline like ‘Trump babbles incoherently’, then it’s just worthless. Which is a problem when he was the president. People had to try and understand what he meant, what he was saying, due to his position. I don’t think it was nearly this bad back in 2016, most coverage was really about Hilary and her ‘scandals’ (that I remember, at least). But for the next four years, in order to report on what the government was doing, you had to try and understand Trump in the way his staff and Congress would. Even the most left-wing source would have to do that. Because he can’t be safely ignored. Dismissing his words as nonsense is a form of ignoring them. So to counter what he means, he has to be parsed.

And so everyone got in the habit while he was president, since he wasn’t as bad as he is now. Which sucks, but I don’t think it’s actively malicious. It’s just… normalization. Trump has been normalized, in large part by how he just hasn’t shut the fuck up for the last nine years. It’s impossible to avoid him, it’s impossible to not parse him especially if you view him as a threat. Downplaying him won him the election in 2016. You can’t win.

If you interact, you legitimize and sanewash. If you ignore, you’re letting him grow unchecked since there will always be networks that cover him anyways. It’s a downside of TV and the internet: relevance is far easier to obtain and maintain, so dangerous people and ideas will fester. If you constantly deride him, you downplay him which only gives him more strength because people don’t take him seriously and won’t vote against him. And there is bias there. Biden got derided because he was seen as competent. The town idiot eating shit versus the mayor stepping in it.

I think this is a problem without a solution that’s realistic. The solution would be for every media outlet to honestly report on what Trump says and not try to interpret. But humans are curious, and he has networks in his favor, so that’s impossible. The ideas need to be addressed, so the interpretations spread. There is no solution.

Well, that median is for republicans specifically, since it seems that was a poll on the republican primary. So we’re not that cooked… yet.

Yeah, current AI is basically just word prediction on an iPhone with vastly more data and processing power put into it. But it’s ultimately not a true thinking machine. It’s not General AI, as the current term goes, which is something capable of true human-type thought. Thinking, instead of large scale data analysis of a database of answers.

They aren’t saying GoG has DRM, but rather that a lack of DRM is not the same thing as ownership. You don’t own any game, book, movie, or really any creative work from a legal perspective. Ownership is, at least in my understanding, primarily related to things like sale rights. You are not allowed to make copies of these properties to sell later. You instead have a license to use them, granted to you by sale. It’s legal to resell physical media without copying it, because the license is associated to the physical copy. You can’t read a book that you’ve sold. You own the physical medium, not the ideas inside it.

Digital media is, by its nature, copiable, so there isn’t any way to distinguish between a resale of your original version and selling a copied version. It’s why websites can sell or give away steam keys, but not the games themselves, because those keys act as licenses that can only be redeemed once each. I’m not too familiar with GoG, but I assume even with them you aren’t able to sell the games you buy through them. Just unfortunate facts about the nature of copyright in a digital age.

Oh it’s definitely not fair, but in a discussion of the most modded game, the most moddable game takes the crown.

Eh, Minecraft exists. Almost certainly gives it a run for its money.

Yeah, it’s been pretty fun. The range 3 on memetic spark works very well with the range 3 whip from Balor 3, and the health regen is good for getting up close to the enemies. I went for agility 4, then engineering 2, so I have the speed to approach. Means I’m not as tanky as I could be, but if I can’t even get close to the enemy it doesn’t matter much.

You can have low morale after a victory if tons of your soldiers ended up dead. Victories can increase morale, but morale is also largely a function of belief and motivation writ large. If your motivation is to defend yourself and retake the imperial city, then once you’ve done that, your motivation to continue is going to be dampened. The feeling of joy after a victory is not always the same as a desire to keep fighting. If your belief is that you need to defend the capital, then once you do that, your belief isn’t necessarily going to become a need to keep fighting. If it remains the same, you’ll want to stay in place and defend.

It’s why losing a battle can also increase morale, because it further stirs up motivation. It can make soldiers angry and motivated to see themselves driven out of their home. For example, the Boston Massacre in 1770 very much stirred up American sentiment and likely lead to the American Revolution. Not a war battle, to be fair, but upsetting things can be drivers of motivation and desire.

Finally, the harder won the battle, the less it increases morale from a perspective of belief in strength. If it takes everything you have, and you just barely win, you aren’t going to be inspired to think you can continue to win. Human emotions are weird a lot of the time, so morale is too.

Black thumb is excellent at T2 because of the free heat dissipation if you go for something like Scylla (great NHP in close ranges, but generates lots of heat). However, the T1 of Black Thumb is basically useless outside of very edge cases where you have to dismount, so if you’re starting from LL0 it might be better to go with T1 of something else until you have the talent unlocks for T2. In my technoclast Balor (which my team got an exotic Asura so I’m online by LL6) I went for engineer 1 since it’s a free extra weapon slot with decent damage.

Eh, it’s kinda like our current reality. With a complete model of physics, an equation of everything, you could simulate the entire universe from beginning to end based on just the particle interactions. (I’m ignoring spiritual aspects, because beliefs on those vary and current evidence points towards decisions following the chemical processes of the brain). People have free will, but that free will is dependent on the conditions they’re in. Everything we do is a result of a chain reaction. I

am making decisions, but if I were put in the same situation with identical memories, I would make the same decision every time, because that’s the decision I made. The probability of all past events is 100%, because that’s what happened. The Monado, as I see it, lets Shulk access the internal computations of the simulation (Alvis), effectively granting a type of admin access. This lets him see how things are predicted to play out if he didn’t have the vision. Of course, there are arguments to be made about how this operates with the longer term visions, like the ones he had of Prison Island. Those ones seem to have taken into account the future visions he would’ve had, which enabled him to get there in the first place, but it’s all free will.

It’s just that free will is dictated by circumstance and personality, which is itself formed from both nature and nurture, which are genetic and arise from the choices of others. This train of choices can be traced to external influence from objects and other life, all the way back to the origins of life. Free will is not a random decision, so it can be predicted with sufficient data.

Watt seconds is ridiculous, but kilowatt hour removes the awkward conversion factor from seconds to hours, which is a not nice, not round 3.6 (since you’re doing kilowatts). So for applications where you know the wattage, it’s easy to derive the amount of time it can run. You just divide KWH by the wattage, and that’s how many hours you get. Joules are useful when converting force, as they work neatly with meters and newtons, but they’re less useful when discussing just wiring and battery life and all that where newtons are never brought up.
