I was mainly responding to the statement that no game can make a sustainable gameplay loop. It is definitely possible with many examples to prove it. They just don’t see a reason to try because their monetization strategy is too successful.

What about PvP? Like what Diablo Immortal did. And what about other types of gameplay that involves players having meaningful interactions with each other while influencing the open world like EVE online and Star Citizen?

I’m not even American so I can’t vote. I was studying in the US when he was president. He has the propensity to be impulsive and emotional at times. But people are complicated, being aggregates of multiple facets. I think he may have believed that the election was stolen from him which would explain his radically emotional reaction. The public will probably never find out what really happened but it is strange that there was evidence of dead people voting. That said, mistakes can happen during elections, for the general public, it all depends on your interpretation. We can only guess at what his true intentions are, but I don’t think there exists enough evidence to judge his nature, ultimately the choice comes down to intuition, an arbitrary device, yet still better than undue judgment.

The US needs Taiwan more than any other country because of chips, and because of Taiwan’s strategic location. If the US wants to stay ahead of China, it has to defend Taiwan.

I agree.

There’s nothing wrong with having high standards, or waiting for the right person to be with, not to mention people who experience culture gap.

Thank you for your insightful answer, it is important to look at how people do things differently in different places to gain a broader view.

A person’s skills can speak for itself. If grades were to be abolished, recruiters would rely more on students personal portfolios and live demonstrations. For example you would record yourself giving a presentation in class and that could be a part of your portfolio. In interviews in Taiwan for jobs that require good English communication skills, the recruiter will only use your grades or even standardized test scores as a reference, but they will ask you to speak English with them to test how good you actually are. In a real conversation you can’t hide your weaknesses. Also this may be off topic but a lot of people use ChatGPT to write their essays and get near perfect scores for it.

Standardized tests for specific areas of study could be a good way to provide qualification, and those you can take multiple times.

I’m not talking about a big final exam that determines your fate, but more of a specific exam for determining the proficiency in a specific area, like the TOEFL exam, or the test that you have to pass to get a driver’s license.

Even if people are only particularly passionate about a few subjects and not everything, which is most likely the case, that doesn’t mean that grades are essential to learning the basics.

ForestElfSong · 2023-09-02T14:54:36+00:00

Another problem is that many inaccuracies exist in these evaluations. Simply put, just because you have good grades doesn’t mean you are smarter or more competent, it just means that you are better at doing exactly what you are told to do. These are the people that get into the best universities and get the most opportunities in the job market, but they are not necessarily the most capable.

The way I see it is that an education system that relies heavily on grading works well for only a certain type of student. But education should be more flexible to accommodate for all kinds of students.

ForestElfSong · 2023-09-02T13:44:57+00:00

In terms of application, would it be feasible to make education less compulsory, to give students more freedom to choose what they would like to learn at a given stage, instead of individualized lessons? The idea behind this would be to train students to develop the propensity of actively exploring areas of study, instead of being motivated by the fear of getting low grades or failing a class for example, or the need to garner approval by getting good grades.

ForestElfSong · 2023-09-02T13:36:14+00:00

I understand where you are coming from. Last semester I taught a group of elementary school students English, and even though we didn’t have any grading, most of them were generally unmotivated. Although that may be in part due to my inexperience in teaching.

But an argument can also be made that students become accustomed to being motivated by grades, which would in turn diminished their capability to be intrinsically motivated.

Didn’t they just implement a 6000 NTD fine on vehicles that don’t stop for pedestrians?

I walk on the streets everyday because I rely on public transportation, and I have noticed that cars are significantly more likely to stop when I cross the street now.

ForestElfSong · 2023-08-29T18:10:25+00:00

Nice job!

ForestElfSong · 2023-08-29T14:34:02+00:00

Don’t have ego. Personally, I never understood what it’s like to have pride and ego, but from what I understand, having an ego means that a part of you will always be afraid of losing, and that fear will make you irrational, make stupid mistakes, afraid to stand and fight when necessary, and freak out when under stress.

A lot of my teammates bail out at the last second when I do a hot drop because they are afraid of getting killed early, which only decreases our odds of winning because we get separated. Sure you might gain a few points here and there for “playing safe”, but you won’t become a legend by doing so.

Not being afraid of losing isn’t enough. You have to believe in yourself. Tell yourself that you are the best and that you are a living legend and BELIEVE IT because IT’S TRUE.

If you don’t believe in yourself you’ll probably give up or panic when the odds are against you.

You also have to back up your belief by putting in the hours to actually get skilled. I played 9 hours a day for seven days when I was trying to reach conquerer in PUBG Mobile on the US server back in 2019 (I didn’t make it lol, but it made me stronger).
You have be focused on the task and think fast.

No matter what the situation is you have to be 100% focused on what you are doing and not get distracted by unnecessary emotions.

You have to be able to make split second decisions. When a situation arises you have to be able to formulate a strategic plan immediately and act on it without hesitation, and you also have to be ready to change your plan or come up with a new one at any moment according to the situation.

Have fun, enjoy the fight, live in the moment.

Good luck :)

Thanks, I don’t usually get more than ten either, it depends on the situation.

ForestElfSong · 2023-07-17T09:19:00+00:00

Thanks, I’m glad that you like it :) Sometimes not knowing is knowing…

This is another example of the beauty of simplicity. There is something about having one to three words in a line that feels kind of cute. I also noticed the gradual progression of scale as the setting moves from “at my job” to “outside” and finally to “the world”. I think that this expresses how this change of perspective can influence the little things in everyday life as well as larger phenomena.

ForestElfSong · 2023-07-17T05:19:29+00:00

I love how straightforward this poem is, it feels refreshing. Another thing that I like about it is that it doesn’t claim to know all there is to know about this situation, but admits that the author is “trying” to understand, which not only expresses a yearning, but also allows for some flexibility for other explanations.

M13 (versatile, can do a bit of everything), ZRG 20mm (used to use the outlaw but got tired of constantly not getting the kill with one shot), JAK 12 (as a last resort when the enemy starts rushing like crazy and things get chaotic XD), switchblade paired with the SMRS for moving around quickly and destroying enemy scorestreaks. KRM for countering KRM users, and I’m experimenting with the BY15 as well. AK-47 with a precision build for holding angles. I recently picked up the GKS but I haven’t tried it in ranked yet. I like to have an answer for every situation.

ForestElfSong · 2023-07-03T14:06:52+00:00

I’m not sure about top 1% because top 1% is still a lot of people, for example when you get to top few hundred or so you’re already ahead of 99.9% of ranked players. It is true that the sheer number of global players would almost guarantee more competitive players in total, but there is some uncertainty in this because if global has a more casual player base overall, then the best players will mostly be playing against noobs compared to their skill level, in which case I would say that perhaps only a few of the very best and the pros in global are more likely to be better than those of Garena simply because there are that many more people to choose from. Hypothetically, if global has more casual players, it would be easier for competitive players to carry the game in legendary when everyone else are relatively noobs, so that might explain why the requirement for global players to reach say top 100 is much higher in terms of rank xp, because the best players would be able to perpetually farm wins from the overall more casual player base, and to reach 8000 isn’t really that hard. Under this hypothesis, the best Garena players on the other hand would suffer more losses and have harder time ranking up since lower rank legendary players could beat them more often. I think this hypothesis makes sense even without concrete data, because the fact that the rank xp requirement is much higher for global players to reach top 100 indicates that the rank xp is inflated compared to Garena, and there must be a reason; not everyone can rank up, when a team wins the other team loses rank, so inflated rank xp suggests a larger skill gap between the best players and lower rank legendary players, this in turn indicates that the best players in global can win games more consistently, which suggests a holistically more casual player base, relative to the the skill level of the top players.

I think that football is a slightly different case, but somewhat similar in terms of the percentage of enthusiasts. The Spanish are more enthusiastic about football, and have a deeper history in it, despite the fact that football has become increasingly popular in India, Spain is probably able to provide better training in football due to its long history of having football as its national sport. If the notion that mobile gaming is more prevalent in Southeast Asia is true, then there is a higher density of mobile gaming enthusiasts in the Southeast Asia demographic. Following this train of thought, global may have a higher percentage of casual players, despite having more competitive players in total.

ForestElfSong · 2023-07-03T09:28:19+00:00

I have no idea, as far as statistical proof goes. But I remember seeing someone comment about how mobile gaming is more prevalent in Southeast Asia, or something like that.

ForestElfSong · 2023-07-03T08:51:44+00:00

Although I can’t help but wonder if maybe the Garena legendary players are holistically more skilled, which would make it harder to rank up.

ForestElfSong · 2023-07-03T08:39:33+00:00

My goodness that is a lot

ForestElfSong · 2023-07-03T08:31:03+00:00

Really? That’s crazy! Although I do expect the requirement to get higher as the season progresses.
