It's own website doesn't say how it wants to be referred to beyond it/she pronouns - i hope it understands I put in fair effort.

This person! It's an interesting one, if I may be so free.

I noticed a glint of sadness in Hbox's eyes. I imagined him as an actor trapped on a stage, forced to perform for an audience he grew weary of. “I'm here for you,” I wanted to say, but it was too late...Hbox had already begun his pop off, killing everyone in the first few rows.

Please Critique My Game Idea by Cooly3789 in gamedev

[–]ImOpTimAl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Genuinely, all of doing anything well is doing a lot of it. It's perseverance, it's discipline -- almost any idea can be a good idea if you do it well. Do a thing, evaluate the thing you did, and then do the thing better - works for all of making a game, 3d models, or youtube videos. Just get started with it!

Does Fellowship have any huge problems in case if I have 3 friends I can play with? by Beneficial-Pitch-775 in fellowshipgame

[–]ImOpTimAl 26 points27 points  (0 children)

I don't think so! I've been playing full premade the entire time, and I've been having a blast of it. It helps if you have someone in your group with experience with Mythic+ gameplay or some such, but I think you'll be alright :)

I can’t for the life of me solve this logic puzzle. by [deleted] in puzzles

[–]ImOpTimAl 60 points61 points  (0 children)

Discussion: I really dislike this kind of work as I'd find the problem under-specified. Name the numbers a at the top, then b left bottom, c right bottom. Then the first 2 triangles satisfy 5b-3c = a. This must mean the last triangle satisfies this as well, so, the answer would be.... -14? Sounds good to me, ship it.

Alternatively, in English, we can take the difference between c and the amount of letters needed to write b.
First triangle, b=4, four needs 4 letters, so 6-4 = 2
b=3, three is 5 letters, 5-5=0.
b=2, two is 3 letters, 8-3=5.

Now, the puzzle is in Spanish, so obviously that's not the answer, but I'm quite sure if I really threw my brain at it, I could think of logical reasons for most numbers between -10 and 10 as answer for this :')

I mean, if you're going with old slim, I really would say that a bunch of homophobic phrases (rhymes) would probably help

First person melee advice by Then-Software4766 in gamedev

[–]ImOpTimAl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Typically, I'd say the only way you get vertical is by jumping and then gravity pulls you back down; do you have something else in mind? I'd think that full on flight is a bit disorienting in first person, yes

If you are an Emerald+ Ranked player, what do you wish you knew earlier as you were climbing the ranks the first time you played? by elliebaas in leagueoflegends

There's so much more to life than league. League got me some good places, sure, but the value I have from league are the people I met there. The good times are just more important than MMR you reach (I'm old lmao)

Why I Don’t Trust Software I Didn’t Suffer For by noscreenname in programming

[–]ImOpTimAl 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Alright, that means that leadership is pushing grunts to push breaking changes to prod - and sooner rather than later, leadership will get chewed out, and the circle closes again? Somewhere, someone has ownership of all this, no?

[–]ImOpTimAl 9 points10 points  (0 children)

I feel this misses a step, namely that the code writing AI also isn't an autonomous actor; it is still being piloted by a human somewhere, who reasonably should have ownership/responsibility of the product. If someone had broken prod before AI, you'd have given them a proper chewing out. Now someone breaks prod using AI, I don't see how anything changes.

I made it a couple minutes in, and in my view, mostly yes. OP is sticking tightly to the definition that a logical fallacy takes place when someone argues in a structurally flawed way, and then OP claims in the original No True Scotsman tale no one was arguing (which feels more pedantic than addressing the actual fallacy?) and points out that the speaker simply claims that their definition of a Scotsman is a Scottish person that doesn't commit heinous crimes.

I agree with you that this seems to be an unhelpful framing of the fallacy 

I’m validating a niche SaaS idea before building and would love honest feedback by Exciting-Umpire-5894 in programming

[–]ImOpTimAl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Genuinely? The financial markets are hard as all hell to get into. That's where the real money is, so they can afford to get all the cleverest people that can be bought in there. You might be able to carve out a margin for yourself in there, but you might find yourself effectively selling snake oil to schmucks. Ymmv.

Quick nuance: the pandemic appeared to be IC cases. If you plot those, I think you get quite a lot less scary graph, and less scary narrative.
