  Something like this, perhaps: youtu.be/HNMq8XS4LhE?si=XqWX5uZFBWKNbJAb

  I found the lines poorly written, the narrators not very convincing, and the whole concept limited and simple. It’s likely that something better comes along further into the game, but it really didn’t pull me in.

  It always fascinates me that people can have such different experiences. I’m really happy you found your perfect game, wish I could see it like you see it!

  I’m somewhat nostalgic about parts of it. It clearly had a much wider impact on society than the AIDS outbreaks, and many people didn’t end up with anyone close to then dying or with any serious long term effects.

  To lots of people it was just a time of staying home and trying to work that out. At least in the parts of the world I was.

  I think the bluer bird is younger, not knowing that summer ends, and being even more surprised that this involves immense journeys

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Steam Families is out of beta, letting you share games with up to five others⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve bee on the beta for a while now, and I still haven’t encountered a game that couldn’t be shared like this. I played Cyberpunk 2077 through Steam Family.

  What on earth are you talking about?

  There’s nothing easier than just explicitly checking in whether you’ve read the signals correctly or not before making any creepy moves.

  Tip #1 for flirting: Make sure that the other person has a very easy way out of anything they might not like. Then you know they’re enthusiastically consenting for whatever comes next.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Any good games that break the mold⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago⁩:

  I quite liked the vibe, but got frustrated about the artificial progress blocks. If you’re a competent deck builder it’s pretty easy to build a deck that beats the game master, but then you get to a point where he just throws infinite enemies at you and you are forced to lose.

  I get it, the gameplay requires you to lose a number of times, but it just turned me off from finishing the game.

  I mean, the tags literally say fantasy, so I guess OP is getting what he asked for

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Electrons are easy⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Quantum mechanics (and spin) isn’t really mysterious or inaccessible, it’s just not intuitive.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is a good starting point for learning about quantum fields⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  From its own cover,

  It is written by experimental physicists and aimed to provide the interested amateur with a bridge from undergraduate physics to quantum field theory. The imagined reader is a gifted amateur possessing a curious and adaptable mind looking to be told an entertaining and intellectually stimulating story, but who will not feel patronized if a few mathematical niceties are spelled out in detail.

  This might sound pretty casual, but it gets into all the math of it, with an aim at practical use.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨What is a good starting point for learning about quantum fields⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  The book “Quantum field theory for the gifted amateur” is really good. It’s helped me understand quantum fields a lot better, and I work with quantum mechanics every day.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Caption this.⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Mouse brain maybe?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Know the difference!!!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Neat! Didn’t know that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Know the difference!!!⁩ ⁨⁨4⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  How am I supposed to estimate the pH value of a given wetland area without specialised equipment?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Finish him. 🪓⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Possibly. I can’t come up with any major results that wasn’t either logic, engineering or tradition. But it’s an interesting question. What might count as science before then?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do people still eat beef when we know it's terrible for Earth?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sorry about your issues, I never meant to diminish them. I was genuinely curious about how one can become so limited in ones protein intake, but clearly worded my question poorly.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do people still eat beef when we know it's terrible for Earth?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks, I’ll try to be mindful of that! English isn’t my first language, so there is surely some nuance to be learned.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do people still eat beef when we know it's terrible for Earth?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Thanks, hadn’t heard about that before.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Why do people still eat beef when we know it's terrible for Earth?⁩ ⁨⁨5⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago⁩:

  Sorry, I was trying to ask a genuine question, I didn’t mean to come across in a negative way.

  I’d still be very interested in the answer.

  I’m not able to obtain enough protein without meat

  How does that work? Isn’t egg white pure protein? Surely eating a pile of boiled eggs would give you the same amount of protein as a steak, not counting stuff like cheese and legumes.
