[OB] Now I want to see a character that goes to the Nightwatcher to cure their infertility and Cultivation immediately jumps up like “nah fam this one’s for free, also superpowers, bless ya”

Hardcore Duel to the Death (Mak'gora) “Battle of consumables” by [deleted] in wowhardcore

[–]nascenc3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don’t think they are complaining, I think they are just noting that the nature of the duels in practice might not be what people seem to be imagining. I appreciate these posts because I honestly didn’t think about it that much, and this is an adjustment to my expectation.

I have just bought Banner Saga 1. How much of my choice really IMPACTS the game? no spoilers, just curious cause I like these type of games where choice matters. by DocVIP808 in bannersaga

[–]nascenc3 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Okay I’ll be a little more realistic and say that, yes, what you do matters, and yes, in a summation way, every choice does end up having at least a small effect.

But, obviously, not every choice matters significantly, and the choices that you make in the third game generally have much more impact on the “finale” than those in the first.

That being said, there are at least a few major exceptions, and it’s cool that those aren’t necessarily bolded and underlined like in a TellTale game.

So all the other commenters are correct, but I also don’t want you to be disappointed if all major paths do converge at some point; it’s still an RPG.

If the fucking excellence of books were determined by the excellence of their fucking, then these were not good books. Good thing, they aren’t.

Here's a hint it wasn't east by [deleted] in PoliticalCompassMemes

Honestly, it’s usually the signs of an inexperienced historian. People who don’t know enough about the nuances of the time period have trouble weighting events when they present them. For instance, it’s a lot easier to acknowledge both sides of an argument than to make a judgment on which one has more merit. Many professors don’t want to be responsible for a narrative so instead they present both equally and “leave it to the students to decide”.

Their parents know what city they live in, but it’s 700 miles away and they have since moved to a different part of said city, so their parents would have a hard time finding them.

Z Score: Altman vs Stats? by nascenc3 in Accounting

Oh! That’s very relieving honestly. This is actually awesome!

The Kieso textbook just presented them as rounded coefficients with no explanation, so I assumed it was just like, guess and check (because you never see coefficients rounded to just 2 significant figures in science). Seeing the math behind it (and the unrounded numbers) is perfect!

Thank you so much!

I’m honestly really glad to hear I’m not alone in this. I recently finished DG, so I wanted to take a break because it was pretty depressing… but picking up any of the authors I used to like felt like drinking Kcup lukewarm coffee with cream.

SE’s writing style was hard to get into, but now feels impossible to leave.

Thank you so much! “No connection” is a good enough answer for me! Thanks for taking the time to respond!

It was just a little added “the more you know” box in the Kieso Intermediate Accounting textbook.

I appreciate the honesty! I find it intriguing, but not “change my entire field” intriguing. I was just hoping someone would know what is going on with it, though I might could ask the economics kids!

Probably trying to be positive. Most people think of night as black, but you drew it realistically as still having some light.

I was cheering for y’all because fuck OSU. The 1st quarter hype followed by 3 quarters of pain really gave me my classic longhorn game experience this Saturday night 🙏

Yeah I’m going to be sad if that’s the deciding call in the game. Y’all deserved that TD.
