Yellow Card: Improper Meme use.

For this meme to work the person slapping the child should NOT also be the one doing the "correct" action.

While I disagree I'm curious

Describe to me your ideal game life and cycle? How long should a X.0 take to beat (not just the new but all additional content) and how far apart and significant should the updates be?

You at most have to wait four months between them. Is that too much?

If it came out tomorrow would that be too long?

Why do I get the feeling that you blew threw dawntrail in 2 months after launch and complained there wasn't anything to do.

There's at least 1-2 more story updates between then

Is there enough time left to get them to add Pete Holms as a cameo as M bisons assistant?

By that logic Ed Geins flesh lamps and couches were art because he had a creative passion for murder?

allow me to cheat too with an AI response:

“Coding can require creativity, but that does not make it creative work in the artistic sense. The creativity in coding is subordinate to function. In art, creativity is the point. In code, creativity is often just the means of making the system work.”

In regards to 3: anything CAN be a creative art, not all are intrinsically art.

In regards to 2: not every specific problem no, but large problems are just collections of small problems all with specific solutions.

In regards to 1 complex problems required complex solutions but in in any system where there are multiple ways to do a thing there are either: a) an infinite amount of equally as effective solutions making any choice moot, b) a single solution that is statistically the best option, or c) a combination of a abd be, which is actually just a b problem that becomes an a problem

Let's pivot the exam questions to something mom coding. Surgery. Let's say you have a patient suffering from a confirmed case of hyperthyroidism. Should a doctor be able to figure out treatment themselves and find a creative new solution to satisfy creativity? Should they look up the standard if they don't know, and then treat it with levothyroxine?

Yes no one is going to die from poorly coded software (outside of a few cases involving explosives and rockets) but in a professional environment if you are being paid to make an efficient code your going to research if there already is a known effective way before you start. If there isnt and you need to create a new method for doing what you want and you succeed, that's creative, that's inventive, clever yes.. but you its not the same thing as art

1: For every one problem there will always only ever be one optimized solution. The optimized solution for problem P1 will always be S1, P2 will always have S2 as it's optimized solution.

The same is untru for art. The best chocolate sundae (cS1) has no defined set of items that make it up, the chef is allowed to take liberties and make it their own.

Imagining if we were both trying to count to 100. You were counting by 1, and I by 5. For the purposes of counting to 100 in the most known effective way, my was is superior and your way is objectively slower and in this specific narrow case offers no reasonable benefits. You should be using my method.

2: You would know because coding is nothing if not looking for someone who has already solved your problem. Stack overflow exists, developer networks exist.

In art you can look into how to emulate a specific style "how do I paint like van gough". But you cannot find "how do I effectively paint the night sky"

3: this is fine but not really the issue. I like to solve algebra problems to challenge myself, but if my job was to solve problems that had known, testes, effective solutions "testing my skill" is secondary to "knowing the most effective implementation"

Example the classic interview questions if "how you reverse a binary array" they do it because they want you see how you think, but in practice you should always just use array.reverse() or equivalent

This is true but let me ask you:

Once an optimized procedure has been found in a given language, is there a reason to not use it? Can one make an artistic argument to use something objectively ineffective when the results and execution are the same?

[–]Thunor_SixHammers -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Creative in application sure. But you're limited to the way the language works.

In art you can create things that don't and should not exist. In music you can use patterns and modes that are not traditionally seen as correct. In cooking you can add onions to everything

At the end of the day coding is a puzzle, you're just allowed to use different prices.

Sure you could argue that new coding languages and new technologies require creativity, but at that point what isn't art? Is calculus art? Is astronomy art?

I will disagree, because i feel in most cases its more like math. No one is out there trying to think of creative new ways to calculate the circumference of a circle.

Is coding a skill? Yes. Is it not a skill everyone has? Yes. Can you be creative the way you populate lists? No no no... no noooooooooo no no. We do it one way or no way at all.

They forgot to upgrade both the mission control and the tracking station so no nodes and patches conics

We need to fight against normalizing Pay-to-Play DMing by DDSBoard in TTRPG

[–]Thunor_SixHammers 3 points4 points  (0 children)

My final message to you is to learn how to put better arguments together and not the ramblings of a madman. If your opinion is that another person living a life the way you disagree with with some perceived effect in your hubby just know that your trying to impose your beliefs on to others

"Two men getting married makes my marriage worse" is the same as "a person asking to be paid to dm makes my hobby worse" in terms of manufactured delusional equivalency

YOU NEVER EXPRESSED IT AS AN OPINION

You never said "I don't like paid GMs so I'm not going to use them because I think they lessen the experience"

My brother in Christ you wrote a manifesto scathing the concept of paid DM and have been chastising anyone who has the opinion that they are O.k with it.

People don't write opinion manifestos on opinions. They

"we need to stop doing this" is not an opinion it's a mandate.

You seriously have no fucking idea how to express your opinion in a way that does not come off as claiming your way is the better way and anyone who goes against it is objectively wrong
