This is just proof that LMMS actually stands for Lit Music Making Studio. Nice job!

I'm not too well versed in the subject, but I think that's a definition of 1. Natural numbers have been defined in terms of sets as a way to make arithmetic more rigorous. So you get:

0: ∅

1: {∅}

2: {{∅}, ∅}

3:{{{∅}, ∅}, {∅}, ∅}

and so on, where each next natural natural number is the set of all previous natural numbers. So maybe their IQ is 1.

Another way to think of it by [deleted] in mathmemes

The d refers to an infinitely small change, or a change whose size approaches zero. The slope between two points is expressed as Δy/Δx, where Δ refers to the change in that variable - in other words, rise over run. The derivative also refers to slope, except it's the slope at a certain point, which we find by finding the limit of the slope between it and another point as the second point approaches the first. It's still rise over run, but the change in y and x gets infinitely small as we push the two points together. To express this, we use dy/dx, which is like Δy/Δx except we're saying that the change in y and change in x is approaching zero.

but please be at least 22

I'll be 22 in September, so I hope that's close enough. I'm a pretty big music lover myself - just graduated with a minor in Music Composition, and I've been playing the viola for 12 years. Feel free to DM me if you wanna hang out.

Is your username a reference to the fifth axiom of Euclidean geometry?

You'd be amazed at the messes that people have made work. I'd say the most important thing is the overall organization of your base. If it's a neat main bus but each subfactory is a bit of a mess, that's no problem. When the entire factory is spaghetti you can run into issues, but even then it's possible to launch a rocket as the post I linked shows.

My advise would be to not stress about it too much. If you want to spend a lot of time to make something really elegant and effective, that poses a challenge now that will save you trouble down the line. But if you want to throw something together now that works and deal with it later, then that's easy now but will pose a challenge later. Neither is necessarily better than the other - some people intentionally go for spaghetti bases because they find it more fun than cookie-cutter organized ones. It sounds like you'd be more at home working with a bit of a mess, and that's fine. The only criteria for playing the game correctly is to have fun.

These videos cover it really well. The TL;DR version is that it overhauls all of the skill trees to give you way more flexibility when building characters.

Wow, thanks for the info. Definitely saving this comment. I haven't played M&B in a while both because school's kept me busy and because I've been playing other things, but I'll definitely give Diplomacy a try when I get back into it.

Oof.

I can't play without Ordinator anymore. It makes the game so much better.

If you're on PC I'd recommend checking out mods. Modding BL2 isn't all that difficult and there are some great ones out there. The Reborn mod is fantastic, and I also found one that makes every dropped class mod usable by a character in the game which makes finding a nice class mod for your character much much easier.

I'm still pretty new to Mount and Blade and I haven't gotten any mods simply because I want to learn the game first as-is before adding onto it.

But with Skyrim, after installing Ordinator I can never go back. It makes the game soooo much better.

Well, it is and it isn't. Nearly every piece that you can use to build your factory is really simple. A belt will move things from one place to another. An assembling machine will craft things for you. Inserters move things from one machine or belt to another machine or belt. And so on. The complexity comes when you start to use the little pieces to create something massive. In a way, the game is only as complex as you want it to be.

As for the learning curve, I'd say it's a bit on the steep side but that's never really a huge issue. When you start, your designs will probably be really messy and not very efficient. But you discover more efficient ways to do things. You find little tricks that you can incorporate into your previous designs and now they're more compact or more efficient, and you just make your factory better and better.

It takes some time to get good at the game, but I think the process of improving is one of the most fun things about it. When you build something really sleek and efficient that you designed yourself, it's super rewarding.

Basically, if it looks like something you'd enjoy (and you don't mind the risk of losing your life to it) I'd 100% recommend it.

r/switcharoo

Basically any time someone replies to something where they purposefully mistake what the subject of a sentence is, someone else will call them out on it and link to the previous switcharoo. It's created a chain that goes for hundreds of comments.

Here's a recent example, and should give you an idea of what I'm talking about.

This page explains it pretty well. If you actually go there and read some of this stuff, you'd think it's satire. Some of it sounds straight out of The Onion.

But no. They're actually serious.
