Stop it. Executives don’t understand sarcasm and you’ve doomed us all!

This was my takeaway from this as well. I’ll have to see if I can locate an Arxiv copy of the full paper, but this just seems more like a thought exercise to explain dark matter using String Theory principles.

Edit: Here’s the full paper for anyone curious

You’d be better suited just having a user select that they are comfortable dating a trans individual because it will likely come up very early in the dating process anyway.

Forcing someone to identify as a gender that doesn’t make them comfortable is just going to result in them not using your app and is frankly kind of a dick move overall. Your suggestion would just create an app that was suited for chasers, not trans users.

What were the technical issues that they’re referring to? I remember seeing gameplay that look clunky with odd power progression at launch(or maybe a beta), but I don’t know how it progressed from there. I’m not a Diablo-style ARPG player so I never picked it up, but can anyone fill me in?

Yeah I felt the same on some level, but the performance wasn’t too bad to the point it was impactful until you got to the final open area at least.

I wish the steamdeck had existed when it SMT released or I would have waited a couple years for the PC release. JRPG’s just lend themselves so well tobeing played on handhelds.

I should have known better than to buy a release version of an Atlus game. New content looks good though and hopefully the new “true” ending is a bit better now than the neutral route because I found it to be a bit lacklustre.

I agree full price is steep, but to be fair 1.5/2.5 is like 4 or 5 different games (plus a few cinematic movies for lore from the obscure handheld games) in one and the remasters are actually really well done and add a bunch of content. I don’t know how they perform on PC though since it’s a Square port.

I was in his stream when people sent him the contract they signed just to get the key. Wild. The game is janky looking as fuck so they definitely know how bad it is.

You are a terrible human being. Stop victim blaming.

This is highly inaccurate. The mathematician isn’t even wearing a bowtie.

I definitely thought this was referring to Columbia University until I read the article 😅

No, I dont and if you truly need to be pedantic a logarithmic curve makes even less sense. It’s a generally linear experience curve with each level being about 20-30% more than the previous, but the number get exceptionally large after a while. Level requirements aren’t scaled based on time required, they’re scaled on number of experience points required.

Oh damn, that’s even worse! Thanks for the correction, I edited my edit 😝

The game has exponential level growth. The amount of time it takes to go from level 1-250 is like the same as the time it takes to go 298-299…everyone has a breaking point.

Edit: The article specified that he was leveling at about .065% per hour at the end. That’s over 1500 hours to go from level 299 to 300.

It’s definitely not a publicity stunt. I don’t know if you’ve ever played the game, but it is soul-crushingly grindy because leveling is the game. It’s been around for almost 20 years and every year they make it more and more pay to win.

It’s weird how true this is. Complex Analysis was a little weird conceptually sometimes, but it made sense once you wrap your head around the complex plane structure. Proofs in Real Analysis felt like they were basically just gibberish created to support the existing calculus.

They are not being informed that their actual email account is compromised. They are simply being told that their email address and an associated password was located in some csv file somewhere.

You use your email as an identifier/username by default for numerous services so without them specifying anything further this information isn’t exceptionally meaningful. If you use the same password for your email provider as you do other services, then you’ve got bigger problems(Please don’t do this)

Well at least it’s clear you only want to know this so you can troll, I’m sorry, I mean “avoid censorship.”

I’m glad for the win, but until this is something that’s formally legislated by Congress we’re just going to be ping-ponging back and forth depending on which party has majority control of the FCC. What we really need are Congresspersons who are savvy enough to understand and address modern tech problems effectively.

This was definitely not a headline that I expected to see today given everything else that’s going on. Fuck.
