What do you think about the game overall so far? My girlfriend loves AC but was pretty disappointed in Valhalla and kind of meh about Mirage.

IDK, all this “quoting other people’s work” business seems mighty intellectual to me. Really smart people are outside of academia, where they think of smart stuff all on their own. /s
- Comment on Whose bright idea was it to give the morning people enough power to set the "business hours" anyways‽ 2 weeks ago:
As an extreme “owl”, I’m also on that journey, although it remains a struggle. What helped me a lot is to set an alarm in the evening to trigger my evening routine without depending on my internal sense of time. My preference is still different, hence the struggle, but my body accommodated to the routine fairly quickly.

Slightly OT, but how did you like the game?

Although I understand this on a factual level, I still question the set of priorities that leads someone to install an operating system in order to run a single game.
Also, his wife must’ve been enthused.

The left side is the position that definitions of intelligence are all arbitrary, and that psychologists just make up tests and call what it measures “intelligence.”
The middle is the position that there is a real thing that can be called “intelligence,” which can be defined in different (meaningful) ways, and that intelligence tests are objective ways to measure it.
The right side is the position that intelligence is still real and can still be defined in different ways, but that we can never directly measure intelligence and instead observe it indirectly through observable indicators like someone’s performance on an intelligence test. This means that any statement about intelligence, while real and definable, are contingent on the specific tests used to measure it.

not sure WHAT the Roman one is holding, but it doesn’t look like any recognizable weapon.
In this case, it may just be AI generated garbage. But historically, the Roman eagle was sometimes stylized holding bolts of lightning (as a reference to Jupiter).

Don’t even need to bring probability into this. Death is certain, and correlation requires variance.

- Comment on Is Civilization 7 not fun? 1 month ago:
Civ games at launch are often a bit of a mixed bag, and the games improve over time with patches and expansions. That being said, the game isn’t even fully out yet, and early Steam reviews are notoriously unreliable and undifferentiated. For your first civ game, maybe look at earlier titles like Civ 5 or 6. They have aged very well, I still play 6 all the time.

- Comment on Control is free to claim for 24 hours on Epic 2 months ago:
True, but digital ownership is a fickle thing that depends in large part on how much I trust the seller. Between a >50% discount on Steam and a free game on Epic, I would still choose Steam every time, because I would feel like I “own” that game more than I would on Epic.

For me, it feels like a mix between Rimworld (colonists with schedules, traits, and skills) and Factorio (complex production chains, finite resources). Add to that a physics system, where everything has a weight, a melting point, a conductivity and so on, and you’ve got ONI.
- Comment on Nobody will question you 3 months ago:
My guess is lower. I’d put the correlation at about -.35 to -.45, so that’d correspond to an R² of .1225 to .2025. But eyeballing correlations is hard.
