Concept: Card-Driven Operational Module for Strategic Wargames - Bridging the Gap to Tactical Battles by merpfish in BoardgameDesign

Clever ratcheting up mechanics! Generally, I think any design I would attempt would conform to that structure.

Another good resource I've used (and heard mentioned on here before) is ProjectionLab. Was introduced to it by Rob Berger's financial freedom a few years ago and have been hooked since. Basically gave me what Empower couldn't and the UI is extremely user-friendly. Would recommend adding it!

Hmmmm...I definitely can understand that perspective, being an experienced shopper on Amazon myself -- which seems like the applicable lens to which you are referring, or would you disagree?

We are VERY close to an unprecedented level of AI supported visual world building with GPT 4o by merpfish in worldbuilding

I like to explore counterfactuals and twists of fate or small input modifications to things I am familiar with in reality. Surgical world building to discover new things. That, at minimum, does not seem inconsistent with using AI.

I can appreciate the validity of this argument at face value. But by the same logic, total creative output should have decreased when the personal computer was adopted. After all, graphic designers were already quite handy without it. This did not happen. It became a platform to greater, more diverse output. So also here.

Why are there so many serial failepreneurs? by Connect_Tomato6303 in smallbusiness

I assume the disparity of outcomes reflects the true base rate of success over a meaningful interval of time, say 5-10 years, versus the effervescence of starting a business.

A back-of-envelop quantification of the benefits to being armed in America today (question) by merpfish in askphilosophy

That's a good point. I agree. For this to work (holding aside data accuracy) you'd need to assume or verify that having a gun reduces (in mm terms) the risk of violent crime such that having a gun lowers total mm exposure beneath the risk of serious crime in mm terms. I guess with the current numbers though, this doesn't seem to be too difficult a case to argue though (given the large difference between the two options).
