Published! I am very happy to present Tactus Hypothesis Tracker (THT), an adaptation of beat tracking models to produce produce a pulse clarity metric continuously over time while tracking the beat simultaneously. journals.plos.org/plosone/articl…

@SandyofCthulhu I had a similar experience when playing the Star Wars 6D RPG. Everything was familiar, the universe was known. That being said in the crew I DMd there were a couple of people that hadn't seen any film. They still had a great time because ships and bars are known.

One of the ways I think Call of Cthulhu has an advantage for new players is the setting. If you brought in a group of newbies to Greyhawk, you'd have to explain that they are in the Free City of Greyhawk, overseen by Castle Greyhawk. If the players sit in a bar, and you say, "A Flan tribesman walks in and makes a beeline for your table." you now must explain what a Flan is, and why it is interesting they showed up. Plus at every step there's more odd stuff to see and comprehend. But if you are playing Call of Cthulhu, and you tell the players, "You're in the Ground Zero bar and grill, and a huge Navajo walks in and makes a beeline for your table." The players immediately understand what type of bar it is with a name like "Ground Zero". They know what a Navajo is, and what his presence could imply. Everything makes sense. If the players decided they want to contact an accountant, they know to wait till the morning and make a phone call. In Greyhawk who even knows if there ARE accountants. None of this means Call of Cthulhu is overall superior. It just means you can get to the adventure sooner with new players. I've DONE this in the last year. My teenage granddaughter ordered me to run a TRPG with her & her friends. I started on RuneQuest and they liked it. They were exploring Dragon Pass and having fun. Then one day I went to run the game and realized I'd forgotten my scenario materials. So I told them, "Hey, we're going to do Call of Cthulhu instead." They rolled up invesetigators and BANG we were off. The kids immediately understood everything. They knew when things were creepy or not. They all liked scary movies so they absolutely got into Call of Cthulhu from the get-go. It was really interesting to me. Of course, they'd already been "prepped" to the idea of roleplaying from Runequest, but they took to it like a cat to an open can of tuna. They really got into the creepy stuff too. (Yes I toned it down. They're just kids.)

@SandyofCthulhu I only played the Call of Cthulhu RPG once. I 100% felt how weak investigators were in that game. Our crew was inside a tunnel getting ready to get to a cave where a shaman was performing some ritual. We were officially afraid, no-one wanted to go first.

As creator of the supposedly "deadliest" roleplaying game of all time (possible exception: Paranoia), I must defend the concept of character death. Games are plainly more fun if the players feel something is at stake. If the ONLY difference between success & failure is whether they get the treasure now or later, this enervates and weakens the drama. In Call of Cthulhu, I three tools in my toolbox to make players feel something is at stake. First, and most obviously, investigators can die. This is universal among roleplaying games. (In Paranoia, no one cares if they die though.) The deaths in Call of Cthulhu are gruesome, but it's no joke when in D&D a hero is dissolved by a gray ooze or swallowed by a purple worm. It's easier to kill investigators in Call of Cthulhu, because there is more of a power mismatch in horror. The players expect this mismatch, though, so they don't feel it's unfair. 1/3 (art: Tom Sullivan)

Lo de este viejo es una cosa de locos. Hoy no tenés a ninguno de los miles de tipos que pueblan la política argentina diciendo estas cosas. Ni uno.

@MichaelAArouet The feminist movement built a social narrative women could attach to.

That's a really interesting chart. Young men have stayed similarly conservative for over 25 years, while young women have become much more left. Why such a divergence? What has changed for young women that hasn't changed for young men?

@palusirven Siempre que quise ir me pareció un caos. Se puede ir sin caos o hay que bancarla?

el otro día fui al boliche de roberto con mi novio a escuchar tango y tomar birra y la moza me reconoció por mamá está más chiquita. me encanta cuando hay theatre kids en los lugares más inesperados.

@SidVina Mándame dm y lo busco.

Estaba viendo de pagar un artículo académico pero por 15 dolares me lo alquilaban por 48 hs sabes qué ojalá que te fundas duke university press

@tamtenenbaum Venía pensando ayer eso. Porque es más efectivo exprimir ganancia de los trabajadores que del mercado? La única que se me ocurre es que no hay competencia real, entonces es más fácil eso que capturar mercado. Quizá no hay competencia por los monopolios, o por la falta de demanda.

es tremendo esto. no sobran maestros, no sobran enfermeros, no sobran ni siquiera empleados de atención al cliente, solo que parece no tener ningún costo para nadie empeorar la calidad de todos los servicios para la gente común

@ymuchosmemes Cuáles usaste?

Me tiene dando volteretas que después de años de "los juegos son malos" el psiquiatra de mi hijo me recomendara ponerle un rato al día juegos de los de antes (sin autoguardado), para que pierda una y otra vez para mejorar y aprenda a manejar la frustración. Y FUNCIONA.

@Satinfaction_ Quizá a eso se referían cuando cantan: "Yeah, you got that somethin' I think you'll understand"

Si en inglaterra hubieran los mismos culos que en centroamérica los beatles también le cantaría al ojete.

@dalesmm Gracias. Viste que estos gráficos aesthetic tienen la mala costumbre de no poner leyendas en los gráficos?

@M2March Dinero.

📊 En EE.UU. se gasta más en OnlyFans que en el NYT y ChatGPT juntos. Más dinero para deseo y atención (aunque precarios) que para información y conocimiento. El capitalismo tardío no cambió de motor: solo lo digitalizó 🪄

@MathiasChu Banco alguna de las lecciones del texto. Relativizar el ego y la última frase del psico. Pero, creo que vale pensar si no debería haber una opción de no tener que estar corriendo atrás de la realidad todo el tiempo. Es parar el cambio porque no es sano, no porque conviene.

Esto que escribí es para vos si te pasa alguna de estas cosas: - te irritan las cosas nuevas - tenés mucha nostalgia por cómo eran las cosas antes - cuando hay algo nuevo lo descalificás antes de explorarlo - tenés una sensación de que te están dejando atrás - te aferrás a un título, logros, o formas de hacer las cosas que parecerían haber dejado de funcionar

dios AMOOOOOOOOOOOOO

@marisin_ok Me gustó pero me parece que la dificultad está en actualizar el concepto de clase. Estoy pensando en el documental de Ofelia del laburo y como la cosa puede ser tan variada y parece que hay hambre de autonomía.

Vuelvo a recomendar esta nota que deberia ser leida por todo Twitter argentina

@nachilos_ Y cuáles eran los argumentos?

Hoy descubrí que hay gente que DEFIENDE EL "AI-SLOP" (basura generada con IA). Ojo, no hablo de cualquier contenido hecho con IA, sino de un tipo específico: contenido vacío y superficial que no dice nada nuevo, pero disfrazado de complejo, experto, científico, etc.
