oh i read your post as if the show was an example of woke without substance.

people have been very uppity about the new dragon age even though i hear that’s good.

i have only ever heard good things about that show. it apparently brought in a lot of new players (who then promptly left because they realized what the game and community were like).

- Comment on Ridley Scott Defends 'The Martian' As a Comedy 6 days ago:
watney in the book is a funny character, that’s why he manages to survive for a year without going crazy. it also makes his despair hit harder in the moments he’s not wisecracking.
comedy as a vehicle for drama is underutilized.

yeah that’s what’s so interesting. like obviously i can see the steps with actual numbers but replace with unknowns and it’s 50-50 whether i would be able to do it. and since i work with optimisations every day, i have had to reconstruct this stuff from first principles without a theoretical understanding so i need to go the long way around every time.

\*and no, my rote learning has not prepared me for that. nothing like that was ever presented to me. i went from multiplication tables to factorisation and never mentally connected the two. as a result i can’t do factorisation in my head at all, despite doing 80% of a masters in engineering.

i don’t know about that, i would prefer to build an intuition. i know people who simply have the entire thing memorized and “look up” the answer when prompted. which of course completely breaks down if you introduce an operand higher than 12.
- Comment on Cheers Bro 1 week ago:
it’s a different kind of understanding though. also, vocabulary in school is always presented in context, while mathematics usually isn’t, save for contrived examples, because you can’t gradually introduce stuff the same as with language.
like, i never got an intuition for division. i have to brute-force it every time. during school i would ask for help and nobody else seemed to get it either.

that’s how it’s taught. learning to reason about problems is secondary to “just do the numbers”. you’re not graded on understanding.

that looks like it came from a sms-to-fax service or something. a fax machine is usually just a remote photocopier but this one has like a specific header and looks like it was generated digitally rather than scanned.

if you feel like riving vicariously i highly recommend beccabytes’ playthrough, she made her own supercut. it’s rare to see someone so completely get it and still be very vocal about their thoughts.
also joseph anderson’s one of you want to see someone completely bork the entire thing.

huh, that’s a shame. didn’t match my experience at all. my main gripe was with the traveling, but then i went back in a year later and saw that they added a skip button to it.

the ending of outer wilds, figuring out that the treasure really was the friends we made along the way, will always stand out to me as the most magnificent, joy-filled moment in my 25+ year gaming experience.
that, or getting the cool sunglasses in fez.
