wia

In before next week’s article that the Montreal office is permanently closed and all workers let go.

And my weird brain that isnt affected shooing it away.

There are still players. Much more rare I’m sure. I played maybe 4 months ago and met a few people.

Gris hooked me much more than Journey.

Gris broke me lol. It was so beautiful, so emotional.

Witcher 3 took me a few attempts before I finally got into it. And those types of games were always my favorite.

I don’t think Witcher 3 stuck until the DLCs. Now I’m sad I’m done with the game…

I’m with you here.

I played it just recently so I didn’t get to play with as many people as I’m sure there were at the start. I did encounter others frequently enough though. Even played with 1 person for a big chunk.

It was fine. It’s pretty and it has soul for sure but it’s not a transcendent experience like so many seem to describe. Maybe I’m broken in my own way, maybe I missed something, maybe I don’t understand art. Who knows.

I had fun though and it was worth the price.

Was that dev me?

When it was first made available to the public I played about an hour or 2 and then stopped so I didn’t spill the game. My one big take away was that I really hated all the companions, especially sheart.

I’m glad how well written they all ended up.

There fact that I have been told seriously, more than 0 times, to work more slowly in my life is insane to me.

Yayayyayayayyayayayay. I’m excited. The Fable games never felt truly finished and fully fleshed out, but I loved them all and played them so much.

Or Jack Black. I love him, but this dumb Hollywood trend of hiring Jack for anything comical is absurd.

There kinda isn’t really any definitive science that indicates a specific frame rate that the eye can perceive.

There are studies however that show ranges from 30 to 90hz, and studies that show that human perception can detect flicker at up to 500hz even.

The issue is that nothing that happens in the real world is synchronized with what you perceive. So filling in with more Hz means there are more chance for you to actually perceive the thing.

To complicate matters further, our brains do a lot of filling in for us, and our eyes and brains can still perceive things you aren’t consciously perceiving yourself. So again more frames is always nice.

So… Taxes?

409 words, 16 sentences, 19 uses of the word like. It’s the most used word (tied with “of”) counting for 4.6% of the text.

:D

Looks fun. Always feels like they never let the Jedi really flex, and this might be it. You only ever see the Jedi really go in other media like games, comics, and the animated things.

It was fun seeing Vader do his thing in Obi Wan. I hope Disney is learning as they go and don’t just cancel shows. Andor was brilliant so there is no reason the rest of the shows can’t get there too

Starting Rogue Trader this week. Having fun with it.

More teachers per student.

Starting at about 4 student per teacher, and each year or developmental step gets a few more students. If still doing grades/years then another 2 or 3 students per. This let’s each teacher learn about each student and actually catch any development hurdles early and give the children direct attention. As children grow they get to learn to socialize more and more in bigger groups.

Gamification and goal adjustment

They shouldn’t have letter grades anymore, or if they do they aren’t locked at percentages. That means the grade can only go down as they make mistakes. Instead they start at the bottom and have to answer so many questions correctly to prove understanding. They also don’t run out of questions. When they get something wrong an explanation is given as to why and even steps on how to understand and work through it. When they understand a topic they move on and more questions on the things they struggle with are given. All of this is underpinned with game things like achievements, and unlocks, and rewards and so on.

Focus on practicality, strengths, and real world mentorship

After learning the fundamentals, more education should focus on their strengths, wants, and practical application. Actually doing the things is so important so getting out there and witnessing it, doing it in person is important. So there should be mentors like olden times. Students get to shadow people long term, actually do what they do, learn with them, earn with them. Multiple opportunities should be given that students find what they do enjoy, what they do excel at even if those things are different. This gives the student early indicators and choices. No longer needing to determine what they wanna be when they grow up without any real world experience.

No standardized testing, overhaul of how each subject is taught

Maths is amazing. Glorious puzzles to be solved. It’s currently taught in the worst way imaginable and sucks all the fun out of the subject. Now the majority of people hate maths. This is the same for quite a few subjects. A lot of that is due to standardized testing or how it’s taught. Those tests should disappear. Testing, just like grading above, would be catered to the student. Students still need to achieve reasonable real world goals, but timed stadardized testing in a high stress environment isn’t the way. Students would be afforded all the tools they would have access to in the real world. They would be taught how to use those tools effectively instead of told to memorize. They would be afforded a chance to enjoy they education and proof their worth in the way that works for everyone including themselves and not just to a random committee that made up an arbitrary system ages ago.

There is more but I’ll stop here.

I was booed out of 2 guilds for suggesting the grind is dumb and that real content is better.

Once in WoW years after release when they introduced dailies. Which are a crock.

And once in Conan Exiles where the server owner kept making content, a lot of being amazing, but half of it being pointless getting dailies.

I was kind of shocked at how many people love dailies for some reason. Easy brain shut off tasks I guess?

Love the feel of the new font, the kerning is nice, but it really does have some whack letters. I do really love the lowercase L, I wrote love like that.

I just froze all 3 of mine and nothing was hidden. In fact everything was very obvious.

Equifax did try to make me use a lock feature instead of a freeze, but I found the freezer at my.equifax.com

The main difference between the lock and freezer is your legal recourse it seems so definitely use the freeze.

Been waiting on this game for like 8 quadrillion years.

I have no hope it will ever release. Communication has been horrendous and every few years we get a neat video and nothing else. I backed this like 10 years ago…
