Hear me out- some of these aren’t that dumb. Perspective. Let’s pretend that this is only speaking of numbers in English etc, and that we are speaking of whole numbers even (no decimals. The thing that isn’t specified is our number base. In base 3, 50 IS odd. Now- if we include things like hex or toner systems... so the answers aren’t necessarily all wrong- just the statement doesn’t specify enough information to narrow down what answers are or aren’t right.
Naw. We CAN assume it- and by cue in casual conversation it could be inferred. That said- the puzzle crosses math and language. Without context to define it and with lack of precision- the solution to a puzzle is ill defined. What’s more- it’s 2020. We are on the internet talking to people and being seen by people all over the world from all walks of life. The causal assumptions we make in daily life are even more dicey here. In fact- I dare say that as a human collective we must learn a better style of communication in this age.
If someone asks your favorite football player for a simple example- what game are you talking about? In real life where you live will likely be primary context- but you can likely also factor in clues about the person you are speaking with to determine if they might be speaking of another sport. Now- once people start naming names etc that one clears up pretty easily and no harm done. But with more complex topics and less precise language and concepts it becomes more messy. Then add that same mechanism to offenses and humor- the idea that when we speak to all the strangers of the world we expect that like those who know us they will share beliefs, understand that is “our sense of humor” or “how we are” or that we “don’t mean anything” etc... well- it gets quite messy.
Alright everyone enough, wipe your ass and put your pants on, go to sleep, do you responsibilities you keep ignoring, focus on your main quest, put your phones or PC down, talk to someone (I don't care who) just stop wasting everyone else's time here
We are just talking. It’s text based medium- you choose to waste your time or not- we cannot waste it as we cannot force you to read anything you wish to ignore. My ass is clean, my main fake quest is- open ended as I’m playing no man’s sky in my free time presently, my partner is satisfied and well cared for (we had a lovely hot pot dinner last night and stayed up late talking,) and I am utterly swamped at work with some huge projects and tight deadlines- but through effective time management I am doing fine and also watching season 2 of the new lost in space. I went to a party the other day, had lunch with a friend, and am planning a going away party for another who is leaving for Japan for a year to train on a new engineering project. But I still have time to come here and kill those moments in between.
@guest_ you enjoying NMS? I haven't played since before the newest update, as I'm on-off on Civ6 now that I have world builder/dev tools and have been dicking around.
I just picked it up over the holidays, I don’t get much time for games anymore but had a good stretch of time off and down time. I’d heard people didn’t like it at launch, then I read they had fixed it and “made it fun” and the price was great so I bought it and it’s been awesome. Civ6 seems like another awesome game. Are you on console or computer?
I'm on computer, but I have it setup so I can use my PS3 controller for it. If you wanna do that, I recommend ScpToolkit. And yeah, I saw it on steam half off and the potential cost/benefit ratio was just too much lol
Even with all the expansions, I'm super disappointed in Civ6. It has some great aspects, such as a much more interactive relationship with the AI, but the way it's structured you can only really specialize for each era instead of going all out... And then by putting wonders on the actual map instead of cities it's built in such a way you can never get a perfect city for something no matter how hard you try, as it will take 7 tiles instead of 6 and even the best of layouts only provides for 6 tiles. It really pisses me off that you can't even "cheat" correctly. That's great for when you are actually playing a difficult game, but sometimes I just wanna cheat and make super-cities so I can see what the limits really are... and it makes it impossible... it's not (1/2)
like I'm pulling this shit on multi-player.... dafuq is the big deal?! Otherwise, the maps themselves can be spectacular, as they have all the rivers, bays, mountains, volcanoes.. etc.. named.
Bitter sweet. I am a little let down too even if it still sounds cool. Part of the fun of civilization is in the exploits. Having them there to use of you want but ignore if you don’t was always cool. I get there is multiplayer now- but it isn’t like it’s that hard to tweak the multiplayer a little and not allow the exploits. Sometimes you just want to build and mess around.
Yeah, like.. a one-city challenge where you have all the wonders is impossible now.. and not just by a few like Petra or Colossus or Machu Picchu. You literally can't fucking fit them.
So... I dropped like $100 on the expansions and the DLC while it wasn't on sale (stupid, I know), and I'm so goddamn disappointed. I've basically been playing out of spite.
I feel you. May as well get your money’s worth. But honestly- 1. I completely understand not waiting for the sale. Sometimes you just gotta go all in, and 2. Ally of things I’ve found the good because I was compelled or forced to spend time on them I normally wouldn’t. So hopefully you get your moneys worth.
I LOVE THIS
