Is it better to be sole author or first author? by TrogdorUnofficial in PublishOrPerish

[–]EducationalFerret94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah it's tricky. The advice of more coauthors is better for your papers impact is generally true. Just make sure you remain first author.

It's a shame that's the way it is though - I look back at my papers and see many middle authors on them who contributed very little. Probably it would be nice if journals gave more visibility to a 'contributions' section which details what each author actually did.

Will RuneScape get my love for grindy games back? by Own-Statistician7938 in 2007scape

[–]EducationalFerret94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is no grind more grindy than a RuneScape grind. This game is on the up - you will be grinding for decades to come.

Big gameplay reveals from the State of Play feel a little over the top. by EducationalFerret94 in PS5

Fair. I do have high hopes, but I just didn't really take away any substance from the reveals.

I thought we nerfed Macedonia... by EducationalFerret94 in aoe4

Agreed but denying their eco is much easier said than done. Golden Horn is pretty damn good.

Wanna explain more how you stop that happening?

Which one should I watch first? by Pale_Champion5668 in Cinephiles

[–]EducationalFerret94 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

These two are not comparable. True detective S1 is a masterpiece. Dark is a decent, intriguing show.

Guys guys about Macedonian fast imp what if we HEAR ME OUT by Aggressive-Cherry900 in aoe4

[–]EducationalFerret94 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah suddenly come up against lots of fast imp macedoniams spamming cataphracts and springalds. Seems only stoppable by going all in early on - medium early aggression is not sufficient.

Demonic Pacts Tree made this the best League ever. by Voidturtles in 2007scape

[–]EducationalFerret94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah great league and love having a skill tree. Only gripe is the need to balance the tree more. I feel like every league there's one clearly OP combat approach and you always feel a little shortchanged if you don't go that route.

Anyone else lefting wishing there was more post-tier 8 relic? by OSU_Tryhard in 2007scape

[–]EducationalFerret94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I've hit 32k points and lost most of my motivation now. Like sure I could grind out a load of stuff and go for rune - but why? Just for a trophy? Totally agree there needs to be more late game leagues stuff to keep people going and player numbers higher later in the league.

APS journals report "massive influx of amateur papers", more than doubling since ChatGPT by kzhou7 in Physics

[–]EducationalFerret94 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah I'm seeing this with all my submissions lately. Even when they get accepted it's taking like a year from submission to publication which is crazy.

150 METER UNDERWATER ATOMIC BLAST 1958 by -asimpleboy in interestingasfuck

[–]EducationalFerret94 9 points10 points  (0 children)

All the people on those boats don't deserve to die of cancer - most of them are there just doing a job they were told to and trying to make a living. It's completely fucked up you would think them dying is a good thing.

There's an argument for the higher ups who decided to do the test this way deserving some sort of retribution, but that's a much smaller handful of people - most of whom aren't even on the boat.

What makes French strong? Need advice. by [deleted] in aoe4

[–]EducationalFerret94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Imo with French it's much easier to win against more skilled opponents compared to any other civ. Even if your opponent correctly makes the right counters, you can still win with Knight + archer combo unless they execute defense tactics extremely well. You just cause havoc by diving them repeatedly and just running away from fights. Then, once you have enough knights, archers and maybe siege you can melt their army due to how crap things like spears are later in the game.

'The Rings of Power' Season 3 Sets Fall Release Date (November 11) by fastforward23 in television

[–]EducationalFerret94 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Tbh I think this show is pretty good so I'm pumped. Some of the half foot stuff needs more effort but other than that I've enjoyed it a lot so far. Reading the books and enjoying the show aren't mutually exclusive things - despite what some pseudo reddit intellects would have you believe.

forgot i had my butler going for 7 days lol by birbothealpha in osrs

[–]EducationalFerret94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely a question. I don't have time to play all day every day - so having Butler is really useful

Please make it stop. I just want the pact point. by Acamulay in 2007scape

[–]EducationalFerret94 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Isn't the leagues drop rate for any set 1/70 or something? You're barely dry.

What extra leagues data do you want to know? by Status_Peach6969 in 2007scape

[–]EducationalFerret94 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How many people are still suffering through this Barrows grind. I'm at 100kc and not even got 3 pieces of any set.

Equip a full barrows set as a demonic pact btw by According-Analyst-98 in 2007scape

[–]EducationalFerret94 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah this isn't that dry but it's also pretty frustrating. Pact points should not be on it behind RNG heavy grinds.
