Multiple choice? Yes. Math problem answers, yes. Complicated strings of information that requires the faculties of human rhetorical, emotional, and creative understanding to truly comprehend? Kill the machine tyrant. Yes, I do quite hate it. I tried to do some research into how it works and how reliable it is and I found one study/professional sounding thing... by the company that made it. 😐 That and a lot of bad parent reviews, like the person that claimed that by just adding a bunch of random big words in at the end of their essay they easily increased their score.

Humanity will always try to find a way to create distinctions amongst each other, and some humans will latch for reasons benevolent, benign, or bad, to those distinctions. 5 minutes ago, Sooks said: Today has not been a good day... maybe I should save fe4 for tomorrow. Good idea. Never good to play when in a bad mood you don't think virtual escapism will be able to alleviate. Although other times... can someone please shove me off a cliff into entertaining joy right now? I can't seem to take the first step.

In my opinion, groups being formed because of values or friendships are better than ones formed by status or appearance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
null Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 Eh, I think placing an arbitrary restriction on appearance is also a bad thing. Outfits are one way that people can express their personality. Casual, edgy, fancy, sporty, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't want to end up hating it for reasons unrelated to it. It probably won't need the help. Speaking of Genealogy, I haven't played it today yet. Been distracted with a game called Factorio. It's basically a survival game like Minecraft and all the Minecraft clones, except its whole premise is to give resource collecting the middle finger. You can automate everything, and I mean everything. Collecting, crafting, transport, there's a machine for absolutely everything. Of course, the problem (and the challenge) is that if you don't arrange things in a smart way, it ends up working horrendously. 14 minutes ago, Benice said: It's much more difficult to segregate based on class/income with uniforms, though.

Certainly nicer than the usual "can't have grills showing their ankles, it's unholy." I knew you couldn't have such a terrible take, Benice. Still, I think it's best to let people wear whatever the heck they want. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
null Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 I think that happened to me as well, tbh. I played FE4 at a time where I was dealing with heavy anxiety and stress. I'm sure it influenced my thoughts on the game. I had little patience for anything then. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just trying to make fun of American conservatives 😜 I understand your take and I think it makes sense, I just don’t think it would change anything. Then it would move to how your hair is done, how are your shoes, just your facial structure, etc. even though it already is like that. Can you link the test if it gives you a specific term like that? I only have my political compass lol. Quote How about Stardew Valley? IIRC you liked that one and there was a huge new update recently. Good suggestion.

The important thing is to realize and accept when you're wrong. Which I don't even think you are necessarily, in this case.

Spara Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 I really need to record more Berwick again.
