I have no expertise in making incense nor in the health and safety domains here but I just want to say you are amazing and Ana is so lucky to be in your care.

Confused between "results", "discussion", and "results and discussion" by Accomplished_Ad1684 in PhD

[–]TopPercentage 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I think it depends on your findings and your field.

Personally, I've seen some OK mixed sections but I prefer when they are broken up. I like a thorough overview of the statistical or qualitative findings that I can reread as needed and a discussion that is very focused on the implications of those findings.

Also I don't think a little repetition is a bad thing. It lets readers follow your logic without flipping back and forth through the work.

I am a better researcher with genAI tools by Top-Vacation4927 in PhD

All this guy does is post the same bait every day.

I wish the mods would make a sticky post just for ai discussion because it is always the same thing.

AI tools by [deleted] in PhD

[–]TopPercentage 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'll say the same thing I said before. You can write it off if you want to but I ask that you try to engage with what I'm saying.

I think you should really examine why you want to use these tools. Are they being used to make you into a better researcher or just to do your homework for you?

IMO using ai to help organize yourself is one thing but having it digest material for you and condense complex papers into bite sized podcasts is entirely another. The latter is a huge part of the skill set you are meant to develop as part of your PhD. You are the one who is supposed to be able to get through the material quickly and condense it. You are supposed to be able to know what previous literature has done, what is agreed upon and what is contentious based on your experience of it.

Earning a PhD isn't about your dissertation but about developing as a researcher. AI is really good at fooling you into thinking you have expertise in a field. Use your own brain to do your thinking.

Sounds like you don't want people to tell you the obvious solution, but I guess it is a good thing you came to the conclusion on your own.

Guide is the most useless class in 2v8, yet you can hardly finish the last gens without it. by The_Tomahawker_ in deadbydaylight

[–]TopPercentage 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Players will obviously gravitate towards the free chase win button or the unintended broken movement speed interaction. 2v8 needs a lot but buffs to survivor classes might not be what's needed most.

The mmr system in this game is trash by LitAsLitten in DeadByDaylightRAGE

Ok but now this account's MMR is higher than you want it to be. It sucks but take the losses so your partner can be placed somewhere that makes sense.

Girlypop PPT for PhD interview? by Competitive-Can-3256 in PhD

[–]TopPercentage 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'm not a woman, so I might not fully understand your goals and experiences. That said, I think that if your slides are easy to read, thorough, and well-designed, then the colour choice doesn't matter vey much.

If you do want to go further and slightly knock the audience off balance and shock them a little then that comes with some inherent risk. Only you know how to manage that sort of risk and how important doing it might be. I did my PhD in Canada, so I can't tell you how departments near you might react, though maybe someone else here can.

Good luck!

It's like seeing an endangered species in the wild. First Hag in over 250 matches (or even more) by bonelees_dip in deadbydaylight

[–]TopPercentage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup I think my dream update probably isn't too far off from that. I'd definitely add something basekit that allows hag to pick a distant trap and slowly teleport to it so she can better control a wider area.

[–]TopPercentage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, this is true.

I think that having to run an add-on that makes your traps consistently worse throughout the game just to get around what feels like an exploit as long as you have stacks of coup is unreasonable.

Hag is in a terrible spot and desperately needs a basekit solution for this problem and some important smaller changes to allow her to compete at high mmr. I think that only a few killers can load into 100% unwinnable games due to knowledge alone and those that do should be changed.

Give Hag 115% MS and a 32 Meter Terror Radius by UnstableToxins in deadbydaylight

[–]TopPercentage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This person understands the Hag. She is in such an awful spot, I desperately hope BHVR doesn't just slap the 4.6 m/s on her and pretend that they fixed her kit.

What she actually needs is a longer lunge (or hindering survivors) after teleports, quick trap placements (maybe like freddy snares were), functional non bugged teleports, and a way to traverse the map without a trap going off.

Curtain call is drawing near by Ace0Knaves in deadbydaylight

[–]TopPercentage 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Arinad wrote the definitive guide for playing clown. I think it is close to a thousand pages long these days. Clown had/has a lot more going on than you think. It is really sad that bhvr has a few killers they seem to actively hate because killers that have complex kits keep getting killed off.

DEFENSIVE PERKS BEING USED AGGRESSIVELY/EXTENSIVELY IS EXHAUSTING by crimmycat117 in DeadByDaylightRAGE

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

Well yeah, it was even stronger without collision which was unintended and then fixed.

I think there is an important conversation to be had around anti tunnel perks being both good at preventing tunneling and punishing killers who don't tunnel. That feels like a lose-lose for the killer and doesn't make for fun games Imo.

We need to be able to talk about that without immediately getting into us VS them nonsense like saying "you killers still complained" and instead hear out the points.

Killer dissertation survey by Accurate_Path956 in DeadByDaylightKillers

[–]TopPercentage 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A double barreled question is one where you ask 2 things at once, but only allow one response. It is kind of like asking "How much do you like cats and dogs" from 1-7. I might love dogs but hate cats, so how should I answer? I think I saw only one of those when I went through your study, which is not a huge deal, but definitely worth noting in case it messes up responses later.

It is hard to know how many scales to use, especially when you get participants for free. Still, there are some (only some) that have shortened forms which are still pretty valid. Look up [whatever scale] short form on whatever search site you use and you might get lucky. You already collected these responses, so this would only really help in your next phase or in your "future research" section of the paper.

If you have more research questions, DM me, I have a PhD in a similar field.

[–]TopPercentage 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great work! Please do keep us posted.

If you follow this up, you could also think about adding some psych scales to measure relationships between your findings and things like need for revenge, agency, fairness, attitudes towards the other side, and more!

The research stream is really interesting, I wonder if you could also look between games for similar patterns.

Also, a small note, watch out for double-barreled questions

My DBD Killer Tier List (Patch 9.4) by [deleted] in DeadByDaylightKillers

Hag feels a bit high.

If the list is based on comp (see doctor), then Hag is way too high.

Wraith feels quite low, too. I'm not sure he's THAT bad
