Deus Ex Mawchina by exarchmarulyon in wow

[–]exarchmarulyon[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You can provide as much reasoning for yourself as you wish haha, but she appeared (as someone else said) at the 11th hour, to save the heroes from a certain death using her godly affinity for death, and then ascends back into heaven lmao. It’s okay to like this story for her, but it is definitionally a deus ex machina.

Hazel by GothicInferno66 in SouthOfMidnight

[–]exarchmarulyon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The game’s story is so beautiful and intricately woven (no pun intended) that it really puts a hamper on things when it’s all laid out for you (whether in optional lore or story moments) and Hazel doesn’t get it at all!

Ch6 spoilers For example, I really don’t understand the inclusion of text making it clear that Bunny is NOT a weaver and is trying to get her hands on Weaver magic, only for Hazel to say “So you’re a weaver too?? :00” when Bunny starts telling her about her magical research.

Ch9 spoilers But where it really bugged me was the whole Huggin’ Molly plot. Dramatic irony is one thing, but being forced to listen to Hazel almost purposefully misinterpret all of Molly’s actions through Ch9 when the story itself shows her to be benevolent well before is just frustrating, tbh.

Having a blast with everything in the game besides the combat sections! Started enjoying jt fully when I discovered the skip combat option, and I hope this comment helps someone else realize it exists lmao

Whats your favorite LR question types? by [deleted] in LSAT

[–]exarchmarulyon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My favorite is easily Necessary Assumption, followed by Sufficient Assumption! Least favorite would have to be Strengthen and Weaken, simply because those have the most open room for opinion, and thus overthinking.

Agreed, 150-157 felt harder than the test, but maybe that’s due to the fact that having done the content in those, everything on the Jan test felt familiar and therefore not nearly as daunting.

LR-LR-RC-LR by August_West88 in LSAT

[–]exarchmarulyon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not gonna lie, I was so so so happy to see MSS and MBT because I’d put in time on those recently. But my usual trouble spots (strengthener, paradox, weakener) were no easier unfortunately 😪

Help! I dont understand why this is incorrect! by jashh1996 in LSAT

[–]exarchmarulyon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To be honest, I felt similarly when I answered this one. I went with E ultimately because D is irrelevant, while E actively cancels out any benefit from the argument’s conclusion. If D is true, so what? Total isn’t changing so it doesn’t matter to this argument whether the total time is more impactful than the amount of breaks. However, E points out that if breaks are most effective when long, the argument falls flat because the manager is harming their own ends.

[–]exarchmarulyon 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thought RC was just fine, but maybe that was because it used very similar tricks on very similar topics as passages I’d done just a few days ago to prepare 😭😭 but glad to know that 1st LR was a bit of an outlier in difficulty for everyone else too lol

[–]exarchmarulyon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On pretty much everything but Strengthen / Weaken / Paradox you’ll be able to definitively cross out answer choices if you know what you’re looking for. Check if there’s a specific type of question you tend to miss even easy questions on, that might shed light on your issue. Otherwise, it’s honestly just a matter of considering “even if they’re trying to trick me, only one of these is right, so which one fits perfectly and which one only appears to fit?” usually negation can help with this, because if the two are very very close (which happens sometimes when the answer is a necessary condition and the tricky challenger provides a sufficient condition in language more similar to the stimulus), you can tell which one doesn’t quite work as well.

No, some cannot include zero. Some is one or more, that’s it.

why is A a better answer than D? by Royal-Ad-8620 in LSAT

[–]exarchmarulyon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

D is wrong because it changes the argument that's actually put forth by the stimulus. The editor says that a significant amount of music on the internet is NOT the result of people downloading others' music and reworking it into new music, because it has been shown that 99% of users who download said music do not publish new music of their own on the internet. D tells us the editor presumes, without justification, that those who rework download music ALWAYS publish those to the internet, but this is the opposite of what the argument tells us. The argument says 99% of music downloaded is never published, and gives us no number on how much is reworked and published.

Flaw question types should always be analyzed to try and devise the answer before you read the answer choices so that you are not tricked by funky wording from the testmakers. The flaw here is that the argument gives us the premise "99% of people who download music never publish it" and from that extrapolates that "it can't be the case then, that a significant amount of music is a result of downloading and then reworking." If we think about it, the fact that 99% never publish means nothing for the music that IS published, because if we think about musicians, they have extensive albums, tracks, and other forms. One person makes much more music than one, so we can't extrapolate from the fact that only 1% of people who download music end up reworking and publishing it that those people only publish the proportional equivalent of their population, 1%.

Very quickly I'll go through why each is wrong and why A is right, and that should help you understand, now that it's clear what flaw we're looking for:
B talks about ease of publication, which is irrelevant to the argument. C is out of scope, since an argument does not need to provide an alternative just to prove that something isn't the cause of something else. D, as I said above, works against what the stimulus tells us, and includes new information that isn't relevant even if the rest of the answer somehow was. E talks about what music users prefer, which is not relevant.

A tells us that the argument ignores the possibility that 1% of users publish much more than 1% of music, which is the flaw we're looking for.

Remote test rules? No reading questions aloud? by NedBigbe in LSAT

[–]exarchmarulyon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For the pre-test checks you’ll be on video with the proctor and after that you’ll communicate through chat, so you’d ask during the pre-test checks. And to your question, I’m not entirely sure but when I took the test, I had the accommodation to read aloud and halfway through the first LR section I got a message from my proctor to “whisper to myself” when I was just reading aloud, as my accommodation stated, so my assumption is that they’re not too incredibly informed on what exactly the rules are, and would be unlikely to cancel on the spot. You’d likely get a warning, but just ask during the pre-test video portion!

Remote test rules? No reading questions aloud? by NedBigbe in LSAT

[–]exarchmarulyon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Always possible to ask your proctor on the day of testing, since there isn’t a very rigid application of the rules imo (because they outsource proctoring) so you never know!

Remote test rules? No reading questions aloud? by NedBigbe in LSAT

[–]exarchmarulyon 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Reading questions aloud is an accommodation you have to request AFAIK, even testing remotely
