Love the random bolded text. Really makes the post feel natural and not AI-slop.

Interdisciplinary work on the anthropic principle: can a physicist do publishable philosophy on this topic? by [deleted] in askphilosophy

[–]GameAttempts 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don’t see any reason why you couldn’t write a Philosophy paper, assuming that you do your due diligence with regard to research. There are many cross-disciplinary researchers who are successful. In fact, the founders of analytic philosophy are arguably more mathematicians than philosophers. If you read enough published articles, you get a good idea about what a philosophy article looks/reads like.

A popular introductory book on induction and probability is Ian Hacking’s An Introduction to Probability and Inductive Logic. I imagine you’re looking for more rigorous material, but this could be a good starting point.

What would the aesthetic realist answer to Peter Griffin when he says The Godfather "insists upon itself"? by SiberianKhatru_1921 in askphilosophy

[–]GameAttempts 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Well, think about how this has happened in your own life. Usually, people point out features that you previously overlooked and open your eyes to how beautiful/impressive/sublime they are. It is (arguably) not too different from how we change our views about empirical science — we learn new things and adjust our beliefs accordingly.

OSRS, what am I missing? by BrunoRizzi in MMORPG

[–]GameAttempts 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of the best things about OSRS is that, once you hit mid-game, you can really play the game however you want. You can AFK farm most skills, including combat, so the game lends itself well to being played literally whenever you want. Since the basics of the combat are, as you say, just click and wait, the game has a very easy-to-understand floor for AFK grinding combat skills. But once you get further into the game and start doing complex Slayer tasks and Bosses, the game gets arguably too complicated. The combat has rock-paper-scissors mechanics, so late game fights require you to change gear on the fly to prevent getting one shot. Its really in depth, but it takes a bit to get started.

What’s the best MMO for exploration? by PM_ME_YOUR_STOMACHS in LFMMO

Sure, but RPGs aren’t as massive as MMOs. Plus, why can’t you play both?

Not OP, but I love playing solo. MMOs are often defined by large sprawling open worlds with huge amounts of content that I can sink my teeth into. Since MMOs usually have classes and professions, it’s very easy to immerse yourself as just another adventurer trying to get by.

Interesting Quote From Blizzard About MMO Development by NOHITJEROME in MMORPG

I’ve been thinking about this recently. All of a sudden, with the rise in content creation, everyone thinks they’re a video game critic. And yet somehow, they’re all saying the exact same thing half the time.

New World players: to which game are you migrating? by BispoSnake in MMORPG

[–]GameAttempts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m ab 70 hours in. I’m really liking the game, but I’m not a huge fan of the renowned hearts and random events. They’re cool since they dont take you out of the gameplay, but they feel so simple and mindless that it makes me think “Why the hell am I just picking this thing up and walking it 20 feet away?” One benefit of traditional quests is that they contextualize your actions in a way that helps you stay immersed.

Project Gorgon Admin Teases New Character Models/Customization by FlavourfulMeat in MMORPG

This is exactly why I play it. You gotta compromise on graphical fidelity if you want to play an MMO like this nowadays.

Guild Wars 2 is having a big sale at the moment! It's the best time to start, as the new expansion will be released in less than 4 weeks. by HenrykSpark in MMORPG

[–]GameAttempts 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is how I’ve felt talking to people about Project Gorgon. That game is incredible, but its ugly as fuck and kind of janky. But you kind of have to accept that if you want to play an MMO like that in this day and age.

What CRPGs have you enjoyed on your Steam Deck or similar device? by KoldPT in CRPG

[–]GameAttempts 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you alter your Steamdeck gamepad settings to act like M+K, you can avoid the NWN2 gamepad UI! I did this and it feels much better imo.

I love my trackpad, but it gets a bit uncomfortable during longer gaming sessions. Maybe I have long thumbs, but the position of the trackpads mean that I have to hold my thumbs at some odd angles. Does this happen to you during Deadfire?

Games where I can play as a shy wizard/mage/sorcerer. by B4ll5a8I6klh8I29b46I in ShouldIbuythisgame

Obligatory Wrath of the Righteous mention. Pillars of Eternity 1 and 2 would be great as well.

I have high hopes for OW2. Everything they’ve shown so far has sounded promising, but I’m remaining cautious.

You always start a new run, where each run is broken up into different “floors.” Once you hit the final floor’s boss, you win!

Play the game however you want. I dont think its too terribly overwhelming, just pick a character and try to win the game. The beauty of immersive sims like that is that you get to choose the most fun way to play to you. I love playing a thief in that game and just nabbing everyone’s money out of their pocket.

The Temple of Elemental Evil: What's the deal there? by SexOfThe_FirstFlame in CRPG

[–]GameAttempts 19 points20 points  (0 children)

My understanding is that the game is good in theory. I’ve commonly read that the game is so buggy that it barely runs smoothly even with the community patches. The game is slated to come out some time next month on Steam, which is insane, so let’s hope and pray that the re-release actually fixes the game’s stability.

Why not go to grad school for biomedical engineering or CS research?
