  Thank you.

  What are some major relevant events that were predicted but haven’t happened yet?

  Sounds like you had a bad experience in academia. Most academics I know are pretty thoughtful.

  Have you paid attention to the patterns visible when the game ends? The purple slimes + wizard are really helpful to locate. I also generally tried to avoid using the walls since it seems like they don’t always give as many points as they take to kill. I also played on an earlier version, it might have been easier.

  Unlike in minesweeper, it’s possible to make a bad move early on which later causes you to enter a situation where you’re forced to guess.

  I did it on my eigth or ninth try. I lost several times due to stupid mistakes, clicking on a mine when I forgot that there was a 1xx clue next to it, seeing only that xx was small.

  n*7

  I know human perception is logarithmic. I’m interested why it was thought it was 7x brighter. “Sevenfold as the seven days in one” it seems?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨That's a big burger⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  actually the part that i am scratching my head at is the sevenfold brighter bit.

  Moreso, I like to be able to have control of the game. If I play a game with my friends that I like, I don’t want the game to be changed into something else (live service) so I can’t come back and play the version we once did.

  Good point.

  I wouldn’t require source code, no. I would just consider that one acceptable form of allowing the game to continue being playable. However, it requires intervention from the user, so it wouldn’t be accepted under this proposal.

  so that no further intervention whatsoever is necessary for the game to function

  I mean, I’d accept “release the source code” but this doesn’t.

  I never play games that are pure online with no LAN.

  No, it’s unreasonable to expect the servers to stay online forever. Instead, they should be required to hand the keys over to the community if they stop providing the online service.
