It's official: Wehrlegig's next major project will be Hell Raisers in Kanawha County, a brilliant asymmetric Pax-style game designed by Matilda Simonsson and Luke Evison developed by Joe Schmidt and Drew Wehrle. kickstarter.com/projects/12432…

@Clint_Davey1 @gamingthepast For me the connection is the notion of strategic initiative. As the round leader, I am proactive, and everyone else is reactive. It explains the inverse relationship between initiative and number of pips - more actions = taking longer and giving others the chance to prep faster.

@gamingthepast Yes - I just struggle to connect it to anything thematic. Seems very abstract. Especially for a sci-fi 4X game.

Controversial take on Arcs. I don't think the whole trick taking thing is necessary. Would function almost the same if you just let people play a card from their hand and just do all the actions on it. Would require some slight adjustment for balance but I still think it would work fine. The good stuff is the battles, bidding on cards with agents and the resource system. But I am willing to be convinced otherwise.

@Clint_Davey1 deal with the plan set forth for the round. Do I limit my actions? Do I burn to try and get more actions the next round? The fact that you can play cards face down also adds to the strategy since you can now play the mental game with those who are trying to card count. /end

@Clint_Davey1 I wholeheartedly disagree. The trick-taking element adds a lot because it makes being first that much more interesting. Lots of games have player order implications, but the first player in Arcs sets the overall strategy for the round; no matter if I'm second or last I have to /1

OpenAI is not open. StableDiffusion is not stable. EfficientNet is not efficient. May I have some more similar examples?

@stephentotilo There's a reason why Hollow Knight continuously tops metroidvania lists; it was good from many fronts. PoP I thought was really good too (ignoring some combat gripes), but then when you start looking at the rest of the genre, I feel the adherence to style keeps the games samey.

@stephentotilo Is it possible that Metroidvanias just don't have good mass-market appeal? Don't get me wrong, I love them but if you take a sampling of them, the difficulty can put people off. If you ignore the difficulty, most of them hardly have the unique experiences to warrant another look

So many theories as to why Tales of Kenzera & Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown didn't sell big But little talk of their genre. I love Metroidvanias. Devs do, too. Do they sell? Metroid Dread became the best-selling Metroid ever at 3 million copies. Paltry for a Nintendo series

@TabariAlexander Still being figured out, most seem in the 4-7 range. We're doing a lot of tests with just the three new factions so it may be a viable 3p pairing as well but it's early to tell for sure.

@rossetate Do you have the original assignments? I'm curious as to the rest of the coursework since I didn't have the opportunity to take the course due to scheduling conflicts.

Both were done in the name of standard process, with no awareness of how much structural bias was built into that standard process. Many people suffered due to their ignorance and inflexibility, and I was regularly excluded from my research community and my department. (16/16)

As the author of this PDF, it's been interesting seeing people guess at the rationale behind its design. However, the rationale had nothing to do with theory vs practice, and everything to do with pragmatically coping with an unaccommodated disability in academia. (1/16)

Compilers was was known to be the hardest CS class at Cornell which was hard as it is. We were handed a 8-page PDF at the start of sem for a language spec we'd be implementing by the end of sem, split into 6 parts. On part 5, the median was a 0/100 and most the class failed.
