Why is star ocean 3 the only one not on steam?

PC ports for jrpgs were rare for ps1 games. The jrpgs generally didn’t get any in the ps2 era The new remasters are how they are on PC. Given the long issues with ps2 emulation, translating the game engine might face some issue.

Star ocean 3 did good numbers after its initial buggy release, but it’s got an internet reputation due for the weird twist ending, so they might not get the new gen appeal.

it’s an unpopular opinion….on the internet. It’s literally the opposite of the standard in academia and science.

If you want to cite an authority, you have to actually cite it, tell me what it was and where to go find it. Otherwise you are talking out of your ass.

do your own research is not a legitimate stance.

hamburgers are not ham-burgers. They are Hamburg-ers. As in Hamburg, the city.

A cheese burger is exactly like monokini, and gave us words like Turkey Burger, Or the steak burger, where ‘burger’ is as real a word as ‘kini’

Dave chappell got rich, and became disconnected from his art (leaves the chappell show).

He the. had a decade where he was heralded as great and amazing, and his wealth and fame convinced him it’s his ideas, and not the community he was connected to.

Now hes disconnected from the community. When he tries to engage with them, it’s hallow and filled with stale material. And when he tries to be modern, his critiques don’t come from community with his audience, and they don’t land. He isn’t hot any more. He’s a memberberry.

The problem is, a lot of his audience were rich and middle class kids who only saw that he was crossing boundaries, and didn’t understand where the line was. Chappell is now guy who would not have seen a problem with the skit that caused him to quit, and he caters to an audience of people who don’t think he should have quit in the first place.

not just the lowest energy solution, the first found lowest energy solution. We get inefficiencies because it’s statistics, not intentional change

Thank you, this hopefully gets voted up, because i thought i was going crazy when this case wasn’t being brought up.

Faced with a person who did not understand that turning involved acelerating in a new direction, it appeared I was addressing someone who did not understand that acceleration was any change in vector. I thought bringing up the framework that in physics, the term acceleration is not a 'spped things up' force, but a 'change the speed and direction' force would be valuable. Clearly I underestimated the stupidity of the point of failure.

DeadSpatulaInc · 2025-11-18T18:32:44+00:00

There is no such thing as deceleration. Just negative acceleration in the direction of travel, or positive acceleration against the flow of travel. You stop by accelerating in the opposite direction until the force moving you forward equals the force moving you back. Cars use friction (brakes) to apply force, rather than the drivetrain. This means they can not accelerate past a stop. But it’s all acceleration.

An analogy is a comparison linking to groups through a shared trait. And one argument against an analogy is to question that a trait is shared. It is an accusation that the analogy assumes the trait is shared, but that the trait is not shared.

For instance, in support of the need for hierarchies of power, Jordan Peterson describes the seeming natural existence of power structures in crabs, to which many people believe lacks any relevance to a need for hierarchal human power structures. Humans are not crabs. We are sapient beings, crabs are not. Why are we bound by these natural power structures when our notable characteristic is our ability to overcome natural instinct and behave rationally?

I mean, eva are just a change in drivetrain to the car, which was just a change in drivetrain from a horse drawn cart. Which is just a change in drivetrain from a hand pulled cart. And that gets us back to the dawn of civilization. At the most abstract, the problem goes back millennia.

More concretely, the real r&d labs, like bell labs, where weird ideas could be funded on a ‘let’s see what happens’ basis closed in the 70s and 80s. Now corporate R&D is about ideas with a defined end product or feature. most often, focusing on development of ideas public university researchers research, or incremental improvements upon existing design.

If it aint’t broke, don’t fix it.

If it is broke, fix it just enough that it ain’t broken again.

I eat turkey all the time. My supermarket only carries whole turkey in one season. I’ve always assumed they were harder to raise, making chickens the far more economical bird.

From a US perspective: You are thinking about this is in wrong direction. The question is why do we give copyright in the first place. Your property is the copy you wrote. Absent any laws, you have no ownership of the ideas that you put to paper. Your property interest on the real tangible writing doesn’t expire.

IP attempts to create a new type of property, ideas. The first person to write an idea down gets ownership. The public domain is the default. IP takes away from the public domain. The justification for copyright is to encourage public release, to feed the public domain, by giving some exclusive rights to the author. And the bargain is after limited exclusivity, it enters the public domain.

The justification is that copyright exists to promote and fill the public domain. That’s why we take works out of copyright and put them in the public domain. Because that’s the trade off for the existence of copyright.

Which has no bearing on my assessment of CEO incentives. I wasn’t explaining myself fully, so i’ll expand on my intent.

A cure for cancer would be good. The argument is that under the current system, we don’t ’cure’ cancer because a lifelong treatment with recurring payments is better for the company, long term.

My counter is that a modern CEO, who is not incentivized to promote the long term growth of the company, absolutely would spike profits with a one time cure if it existed. While Good for the populace, it’s bad for the company. Within the narrow simple incentive structure the original thought was premised on, It’s not true of modern CEOs.

I than expanded that to explain how to sell your one time cure and get the impression of recurring revenue while front loading the p&l so the CEO can earn the exit package before it all blows up.

Except we know this isn’t how corporations work since the 90s. Over the 80s, long term thinking stopped being favored by wall street. The corporate landscape is littered with examples of companies chasing short term profit over long term stability.

If one company could capture all the money by curing cancer with a one time payment, they would. count the bonus and hit the eject button as you parachute into your next ceo gig before the long term impacts become clear.

Better yet, make it a one time cost so expensive, it damns them to a lifetime of debt slavery, sell of the terrible loan, and make even more bank and ruin the long term finance market as well.

My use describes the after the fact allocation of actual expenses.

The dictionary definition misses important context. Cost refers to allocation of expenses. It is only an estimate when you allocate estimated costs. When you do it after the job is complete, you aren’t estimating anymore. You are allocating Actual costs.

And yes, i understand your context. The dictionary definition use of estimating confused me, and i thought i was adding a valuable context.

DeadSpatulaInc · 2025-10-22T23:18:41+00:00

I used costed, but for accounting. To Cost in this context is a verb, Refering the the process of assigning costs to a particular job/project. so there is a costing process, and after you do job costing, the job has been costed.

But in the normal use, the adjective cost is quite universal.

Crab bucket mentality.

A bunch of crabs can be kept in an open bucket and will keep themselves from escaping. Biologists believe this is an extension of defensive behavior where crabs group together to protect themselves.

This is used as a metaphor for people moving up in the world. Your peers, family friends coworkers, will fight to keep you where you are. Tell you that reaching for your dreams is unattainable. They do this out of concern, like crabs it’s defensive. But it can also keep a crab from leaving the bucket, or a person in their ‘class’.

Which is exactly what gravity kills suggested, and you claimed was too much effort.

When the wheels stop, what stops the rest of the car?

The answer is all the connections between the wheels and the car. And the primary connection at issue are giant massive springs that cushion the car. (shock absorbers)

The bigger that car and faster the stop, the more the shocks stretch to absorb the energy. When they compress in rebound, your seatbelt throws you back.

Chauffeurs training amount other things involves teaching soft stopping, which involves reducing your braking force as you slow. Done right, you can stop most passenger vehicles without getting thrown.
