I must ask you to read the community description, especially if you never did it before.

Huh. An interesting perspective. Quite an obvious one for a StarCraft player, where everybody talk about macro, micro and mindgames, but an interesting one nonetheless.
The issue with this system is that these categories are way too broad. Taking micro as an example, my reaction times are usually good, but I’m not that fluent with execution. And even subdividing execution itself, with things like aiming, I’m usually accurate, but not precise.
It also misses the points of some games. With rhythm games like Osu!, especially when you first encounter a map, you rely heavily on patterns you already know and “where would I place a note if I was the mapper” kind of feeling.
But yea, more than anything, it gives a bunch of food for thought.
- Comment on Anon is judging you 2 weeks ago:
I suppose boring story-wise? I personally enjoy the kind of storytelling Drakengard games have, it’s full of slow buildup sidequests with usually very sharp endings. Also how dramatic it all gets. Loved Automata so much that after fully completing it (except for that evil one-shot DLC arena) I went and ran through Replicant, too.
But they do take a lot of time to complete and I suppose if you are not that much into all the 19th century philosophy and all the emotional damage characters suffer, that can be boring.
Another thing, if people here persuade you to try it somehow, a controller is mandatory for this game and do try different keybind presets the game offers, the default one sucks.

Systems built on unspoken rules break outside of isolated communities, considering this is very much a global community, I doubt such a system would work in the first place. Would be actually cool to have various degrees of warning tags to then choose on the client side what to unblur automatically and what not to, though.

For me NSFW is something that can get me fired if somebody sees it on my screen during working hours or something that can put the consumer of the content at risk, like gore images making hemophobic people faint. I can see how this image can be a bit disturbing, but I don’t think a piece of leather should be censored, as it dilutes the meaning for the tag too much.
I’d then click on something NSFW thinking there is just another piece of leather with feathers under the tag… I don’t think I need to explain this one.
- Comment on Feather coat! 2 weeks ago:
Well, yes, but as much as I despise people wearing dead animals, I also don’t think it’s that awful to see something like that in a scientific context on the internet.
- Comment on Feather coat! 2 weeks ago:
Well, it looks more like leather and as terrible as this practice is, society very much encourages displaying leather.

It’s an infinite series, love, I just moved it, there are still enough elements in them because, well, they are infinite. If you are so sad about it, write the second one as
0-S, changes nothing but now you have a donut to pair with one in the first series. - Comment on $1$ 2 weeks ago:
Much appreciated. 🤧

Hello, I play with numbers:
1+2+3+...=S S-S=1+2+3+4+... -1-2-3-...= 1+1+1+1+...=S-S=0
Moral of the story: ones together are nothing.
Thank you for your attention.

I have a love/hate relationship with a lack of a comma somewhere around “old” in your message.

辶 has a meaning “road” and 十 is “ten”. In Japanese you’d say “jyuuji” if you want to refer to the cross shape, written “十字”, literally “ten character”. Kanji, despite being a semantic writing system, often will not have such a clean breakdown by radicals, but this time everything checks out.

I grew up in Russia and it’s sometimes so mindboggling that people don’t know their way around digital piracy. It may sound bad, but I actually think that it’s the only thing that can keep the market healthy. I pay for games, movies, books and whatever else there is purely because I like them. And if I don’t like the content you made, you are getting no money. If I have to pay for it before judging it’s value, what insentive does the producer of the content have to make it actually good?

StarCraft and WarCraft series.

Борщевик! That thing is a menace across pretty much all the post-Soviet countries. Vavilov and whoever listened to him were stupid as fuck.
- Comment on Anon tries to understand credit scores 5 months ago:
Not really. Credit can be an incredibly powerful tool in right hands. It’s just that a lot of people are greedy and get lured in by banks that do GET ALL THE MONEY RIGHT NOW ~pay twofold in a year~

Yes! We should have swapped the names for Iceland and Greenland so long ago!

Hmm… “Sometimes Snow <whatever>”?
- Comment on Snow Kitty 7 months ago:
I say it should be illegal to incorporate the word “snow” in the names of things that are not white.
- Comment on Fucking math... 7 months ago:
Most teachers will write it off as obvious. Taking a percentage of something is just multiplication and if you actually write it down with multiplication, it is, indeed, obvious:
4*75/100=75*4/100And yes, it means you can just multiply 75 by 4 first and then divide by 100.

Yes. Niri is my choice, too. Very convenient, especially when using a laptop with limited screen space as I do.

There is a category of Russian memes known as “волчьи мемы” (literally “wolf’s memes”) where you have a picture of a wolf, often distorted, put some cliche edgy text on it, but swap some words to make it into something hilarious.

I’m very sorry you had to go through such stupid school tests, welcome to the real world.
sqrt(x)is just a shorthand forx^(1/2). - Comment on Anon uses Discord 1 year ago:
Presumption of innocence is a thing, you know?
In 2020 some small servers (50-200 people per server) got cover banned with all their users, mostly for political talk, as far as I’m aware.
I, personally, usually join such small servers while looking for lobby members in older games, I have a couple of them muted except for channels dedicated specifically to game lobbies. If someone starts an “illegal” talk in any other channel on one of these, why should I be held liable? Or am I suddenly obligated to hunt for pipe bomb recipes on any server I join?

Or get into NFTs? That community would gladly overexplain the term “fungibility” to you. Just give your wallet to someone you trust for safekeeping while you do your research.
- Comment on Trigo-nom-etry 1 year ago:
If someone didn’t learn enough trigonometry in school:
1+tan^2^c = cos^2^c/cos^2^c + sin^2^c/cos^2^c = (cos^2^c + sin^2^c)/cos^2^c = 1/cos^2^c;
sqrt(1/cos^2^c) = |sec c|
And here is for the people who still don't get the joke
The reading of the answer is very similar to the word “sexy”, which makes the whole sentence a reference to the song “Sexy and I Know It” by LMFAO.
