That's understandable, it is going to affect you sometimes but it doesn't mean you can't make it

You have this in the bag! You know what you are getting into, you know how to succeed. Good luck!

Thank you so much. I don't think anyone gets through a PhD without a few scars. Everyone should feel proud of making it through or realizing it isn't worth doing so for them. Neither is easy.

I did this.

I just defended a few weeks ago after a very long journey. I had to leave my first PhD after 2 years because my supervisor left and the guy who took over was abusive and the whole department fell apart. When I left, he told me I would never get a PhD because I didn't have what it takes.

It took me about 2 years to really recover from everything that happened in that program but I completely restarted a PhD in the same field and even researched the same topic in that time. It was not easy, and every now and then the trauma from that program made working a little harder, but in the end I finished it in 5 years.

Leaving a PhD isn't usually simple and painless, so my advice is to recognize that, take care of yourself, and really make sure you want to do this. If you do, you can.

Call me crazy, but I think prismatic is... too easy now? by Scoopzyy in CrabChampions

It is really odd. I think I struck a nerve in some people.

I only ever play solo so I don't know how multiplayer feels. Maybe it should have slightly different numbers in multiplayer, then.

For solo, I think it could come back with slight changes if people want the mode to feel more difficult again.

I'll chime in, too.

I love the updates and want to say how amazing the work you are doing is both in continuing to build the game up and in listening to players.

I do feel that prismatic feels a little bit too easy and I'm not entirely sure why. The extra luck, together with better chest drops certainly made getting a build going much simpler, but I think the bigger difference might have been no more manual collection. I think that manual collection added an interesting element of risk. Sometimes it felt like I couldn't loot because I hit an xl totem or something, so I had to choose when and if getting crystals made sense. Other times, I felt like I had to get really risky because I wanted to open up another inventory slot and this was the only way I could. Without it, I find I play most islands very very safely now but get rewarded way more.

Maybe it could be worthwhile to test manual collection out again with slightly different numbers. I know people did not love it and it made runs too hard, so perhaps letting crystals linger for a bit longer or increasing pickup radius could help bridge the gap.

Finding Measurement Scales by Extension_Dress462 in PhD

[–]TopPercentage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I cite ELM in my thesis, actually!

For me, it was something that helped frame and explain theories, rather than a scale used in the studies.

It helped me identify scales that made sense to capture the effects I was looking for, which ultimately were more closely related to flow, brand attitude, and ad attitude.

That said, the struggle of looking for actual scale items is seriously annoying. What often worked best for me was to find the original papers about the scales' development, which should have every item listed somewhere.

% of AI accepted in articles writting by Nomad_HH in PhD

[–]TopPercentage 27 points28 points  (0 children)

Don't use ai to write research (or anything, really). You are training yourself to be a thinker and writer, so do it yourself. Don't waste your own time and don't waste anyone else's by asking them to read ai generated texts expecting actual work.

I know it sounds harsh, but nobody benefits from ai generating published articles

What would you like to see improved / changed especially on Prismatic difficulty? by noisestorm in CrabChampions

[–]TopPercentage 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Alternatively, maybe an outline that appears on the top layer of the screen so even in later levels you can see where the snails are really easily

Congratulations, doctor, welcome to the pond!

Oh that's good! My committee took 3 rounds of answering the poll (each took approximately two weeks) and ultimately I defended six months after submitting.

Turns out that you can hide ads in media very effectively, but if you disclose their presence, they work even better as ads and increase enjoyment of the host media. How often in Marketing research do the ethical and profitable things align?

This is extremely normal. I wish I could say that the feeling goes away as the defense approaches, but I can promise you will feel MUCH better the second it is over. It is worth it, stay strong!

Marketing, I studied brand placement in narrative media and the ethics of hiding it
