@xxhajixxx This makes it seem a lot more complicated than it is! So many unique forms, yet composed of the same few pieces. The sheer number of forms is matched by many European languages. Spanish is definitely one of them!

日本語難しすぎやしませんか？ 外国人が日本に来て日本語話せる人はかなり頭良い人達よね。 こんなの日本人にも難しいわ。

@HkonMk The end is nigh...

@2Philosophical_ As a pragmatist myself, I really don't approve of this account at all.

A nice distillation of the awfulness of philosophical pragmatism — a school of thought fit for hell.

@ItsumoNihongo I am glad to defend British food, but drinks that look like this look tasty to me. Obviously the actual ingredient list is unhinged though.

@DoctorPerin I'd appreciate some kind of source. I have a friend I'd like to convince, but my own word on what I've inferred from observations I cannot present, or a screenshot of a guy on Twitter, probably won't serve. Google searches do not immediately provide.

The DSM5 committee openly reworked Autism to minimize the chance of schools denying children accommodations. The brain develops asymmetrically and opening the door to autism for anybody who needed an IEP helped a lot of kids at the expense of diagnostic accuracy.

@DoctorPerin Those without autism, by virtue of not having it, steal the entire narrative from those who do. Those with it, by virtue of autism, are mostly powerless to stop them. It's so insidious. My autistic brother is literally being bullied and ostracised by one such person IRL.

A lot of people are mistakingly diagnosing personality pathology as Autism and anyone who has spent time in autism communities see them come in and wreck absolute havoc 😵

@New__Ruth @DoctorPerin "Complex pattern based rule systems" is literally every single possible kind of understanding of anything at all, from skillsets to theoretical understanding. Your claim is to literally attribute cognition itself to autism, which is not only preposterous, but proves the point.

@DoctorPerin Yes, some of us have more interactionally-oriented special interests or are pushed that way by hypervigilance. “High order social skills” are just complex pattern based rule systems, after all, and if you don’t understand how that’s very autistic I can’t help you.

“High-masking” requires a sophisticated understanding of higher-order social skills to calculate effective superficial responses. The more skillful someone is at this, the less likely autism is the most accurate diagnosis.

@DoctorPerin "I have a disorder that makes me deficient in social skills, but you could never tell because I hide it with my social skills." It's all so tiresome.

@AutismCapital This is literally going to make exercise fun. I am going to lose fat and stay fit by having fun.

Everyone thinks fully interactive VR video games are cool until they realize that they are exhausted and they literally just want to sit down and chill and play a game. Not rig up like Legolas and start running on a treadmill. Games are meant to chillmaxx

The neuroscience here is more damning than the advice. Killingsworth and Gilbert tracked 5,000 people across 83 countries using real-time iPhone sampling. They pinged participants at random moments throughout the day, asked what they were doing, whether their mind was wandering, and how happy they felt. The finding that should change how you think about your own brain: mind wandering explained 10.8% of the variance in happiness. The actual activity you were doing explained 4.6%. What you’re thinking about matters 2.3x more than what you’re doing. And here’s the part nobody talks about. People’s minds wandered to pleasant topics 42.5% of the time. Neutral topics 31%. Unpleasant topics 26.5%. Even when wandering to pleasant topics, they were no happier than when focused on the present. The only state that reliably produced happiness was attention locked onto the current activity. This is a prefrontal cortex problem. Your default mode network activates the moment you disengage from a task. It runs simulations of the future, replays the past, and generates the anxiety you interpret as “I’m lost.” Dr. Fabiano is pointing at the right paper. The mechanism is your brain literally cannot generate satisfaction in default mode. It can only generate rumination. The 2,250 adults in this study averaged 46.9% of their waking hours in mind wandering. Almost half their conscious life spent in a state the data shows makes them unhappy. Training sustained attention on whatever is in front of you right now is the intervention, because the research says that’s the only configuration your brain produces wellbeing in. Your attention is the quest.

@Melo_Malebo Please understand that ‘pattern recognition’ is literally just having a mind. ‘Neurodivergence’ is a spook. It is not real.

The fact that ‘pattern recognition’ is a common trait in neurodivergent people is interesting bc why is everybody else so comfortable ignoring things that are clearly right in front of them ?

@TweetingGaruga In principle fine, but this instantiation gives us too much mobility. Turning while charging GS is just unacceptable. But having all these bonus moves is 100% a good addition.

How do we feel about focus mode now? I love focus mode on Insect Glaive and the weapon straight up wouldn't be as good without it but at the same time I can't extend that praise for the other weapons I've tried so far How do you feel about your main weapon(s)?

@xshadowpanther @Pirat_Nation Literally just a genre. Not lazy to make something within a genre.

Lay of the Land is an upcoming sandbox adventure game developed solo by Tooley. Set for release on Steam on April 8, it features fully physics-simulated worlds and procedural generation across varied biomes

@Pirat_Nation The real question: Does it have meaningful objectives?

@HkonMk PEAK

Rellana looks INSANE

@timsoret A Pokemon remaster in this style would be unreal.

I invested 10 years to develop the perfect renderer for games like this. It’s much more complex than it seems. It’s not just low-rez textures & low poly like we could assume at first glance. Tons of geometry, physics, normals, UVs, lighting & billboarding hacks are necessary.

@Shawnstoked @GeauxReadBooks I hated that line so much. Sanderson knew it was stupid and put it in knowing it was stupid because it had the tone he wanted. It’s meant to be silly. It didn’t ruin the book for me though.

@GeauxReadBooks Whatever hope I had for these books died with "I'm his therapist"

Probably the most disappointing book I’ve read.
