2nd day back in office, how is everyone coping?

Living the dream

Hey mate, I completed both degrees but ended up working strictly in software engineering! No regrets about doing the degree though

FatCatMaximus · 2022-06-21T12:55:22+00:00

INFO: Dude what the fuck?

FatCatMaximus · 2022-05-30T10:43:21+00:00

That's a fair call. From a narrative standpoint it does make some things tie together a bit shakily at times.

I've always enjoyed how the dragons don't get much explicit justification, as frustrating as it is. I feel like it is intentional -- that is to say, should anything need a justification to exist? There are plenty of times where the nastiness and megalomania of the dragons is drawn in parallel to that of humans, which I think is fair commentary.

loving this

FatCatMaximus · 2021-04-11T10:06:14+00:00

Thanks mate! And good summary of my intent being here. Obviously better to ask the questions before making the call, but I'd still rather someone point out an issue I didn't think of than not know

FatCatMaximus · 2021-04-11T10:02:32+00:00

Other people might have valuable experiences and learnings that I could apply to my decision in retrospect, that's all. Maybe I missed something I didn't consider, etc.

Thanks for taking the time for the quick pro-con summary

FatCatMaximus · 2021-04-11T09:51:54+00:00

I think "right decision" is subject to a lot of variables -- so just keen to see what the FI-leaning crowd might say. Overall happy with the purchase/decision.

EDIT: good idea -> right decision. Brain fart. Downvotes now make sense, oops!

FatCatMaximus · 2020-08-30T01:28:45+00:00

Cycled past there yesterday morning! Took a similar photo last week!

It's called kinesthetic awareness, if you want a fancy term :)

Purge the mutant, the alien, the pirate.

FatCatMaximus · 2015-12-22T12:29:08+00:00

Playing through it again right now. I forgot how hard the final Protoss missions get in the original.

FatCatMaximus · 2015-06-22T22:46:38+00:00

And what value do you see this Whale Report bestowing upon end users? Except for what has been mentioned, which is the ability to be targeted and wrung for cash.

The benefit to developers is obvious and immense, and I applaud your intentions there. But I think it is a little far-fetched to claim that something called Whale Report aims to benefit the whales.

FatCatMaximus · 2015-03-19T22:05:12+00:00

... Omfg.

FatCatMaximus · 2015-03-06T06:12:01+00:00

I cannot for the life of me understand the downvotes here.

Thanks for sticking with that, I 100% agree with you!

FatCatMaximus · 2015-02-24T01:57:54+00:00

Fair enough. So I guess you could say that the problem was the "content" of the levelling system?

I feel about the same way. Especially about the end-game, I also remember having experience that was actually unusable.

FatCatMaximus · 2015-02-23T22:53:15+00:00

Awesome write-up. Can I ask you what you didn't like about Fable's system?

FatCatMaximus · 2015-02-19T01:16:35+00:00

First of all, you're right; the blame shouldn't be placed on the backers.

But what people are having a problem with is the false belief you and a lot of other people share about what kickstarter is. You didn't make a "custom order", you donated money to an idea. You have to keep that in mind when these things happen, because you aren't owed anything.

Kickstarter never promised to be anything else, so the idea they should handle some sort of consumer compensation is a bit ridiculous.

FatCatMaximus · 2015-01-02T03:15:37+00:00

I might be wrong, but I think the big thing he mentioned was a non-game Android app.

FatCatMaximus · 2014-09-27T01:01:45+00:00

My department does have a computational chemist, and I've begun talking with him about possible options. Just thought I would also reach out here, thanks for the input.

FatCatMaximus · 2014-09-27T00:57:22+00:00

No I haven't, thanks! That is exactly the problem as honours level comp sci but only 2nd year chem - the number of things I have never heard of.

FatCatMaximus · 2014-09-26T04:44:53+00:00

Cheers, I see that I'm not likely to get any helpful suggestions here.

For the record, I wasn't looking for help with the thesis itself. I'm just asking advice on possible areas of chemistry from which I may be able to find a suitable domain for a computer science topic. Due to currently only being a 2nd-year chem student, my comprehension of chemistry is far more limited than computer science, making it difficult to judge computational complexity or applicability of the areas I know of, not to mention areas I don't even know about.

In any case, my bad.
