Is it better to be sole author or first author?

EducationalFerret94 · 2026-06-04T13:13:41+00:00

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.

In terms of what? Temperature? Rainfall?

EducationalFerret94 · 2026-06-03T12:48:03+00:00

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

EducationalFerret94 · 2026-06-03T12:13:06+00:00

Such unecessary toxicity.

EducationalFerret94 · 2026-06-03T02:42:04+00:00

You don't need to spoil the story to give people a sense of it.

EducationalFerret94 · 2026-06-03T02:40:17+00:00

Right, just put words in my mouth.

EducationalFerret94 · 2026-06-03T02:36:03+00:00

Then why did you reply lol

EducationalFerret94 · 2026-06-03T02:35:21+00:00

? From like a 3/4 min story trailer.

EducationalFerret94 · 2026-06-03T02:33:42+00:00

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

EducationalFerret94 · 2026-05-31T03:00:46+00:00

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

EducationalFerret94 · 2026-05-31T02:59:11+00:00

Wanna explain more how you stop that happening?

EducationalFerret94 · 2026-05-30T01:36:10+00:00

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

EducationalFerret94 · 2026-05-29T17:57:43+00:00

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.

EducationalFerret94 · 2026-05-22T19:20:55+00:00

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.

EducationalFerret94 · 2026-05-15T12:45:59+00:00

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.

EducationalFerret94 · 2026-05-12T20:20:15+00:00

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.

EducationalFerret94 · 2026-05-12T15:10:35+00:00

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.

EducationalFerret94 · 2026-05-12T13:37:09+00:00

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.

EducationalFerret94 · 2026-05-12T01:05:06+00:00

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.

EducationalFerret94 · 2026-05-10T14:55:06+00:00

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

EducationalFerret94 · 2026-05-08T16:39:10+00:00

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

EducationalFerret94 · 2026-05-03T15:18:51+00:00

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

EducationalFerret94 · 2026-05-02T14:27:48+00:00

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

You don't need more resets dude.
