What we've been working on. A while in the making! The @GreatApeGames team absolutely smashed it with this trailer! 🙌

@engineers_feed I immediately have this weird sense that these numbers are awkward because of their shared relationship with two. You can take two from the 37, add it to the 48, and then you have the simple sum of 35 + 50 = 85.

What happens in your head when you add 37+48?

@Pixie1z What my Ma cooked when we were a bit poor: A What I wanted when we were a bit poor: C What I want now: B

What is the right amount?

@QuetzalPhoenix The best way to follow this protip is to use the term "my favorite."

Protip: If you ever want to start an argument online, just use "the best" instead of "my favorite" it literally does not matter what you are talking about, go ahead try it out

@CrowofLove1 @cjsnowdon I take your point. It's consistent with what I said. I hope no-one reading this ever has to come into contact with the NHS's shortcomings. As Brits, many know it can fail us and our loved ones. The Olympics is an example of us pandering to the world's perspective of the NHS.

@DavidFoster @cjsnowdon The people who clapped for the NHS during covid, like they were in some weird cult, took it a level above admiration. And then there was this display at the 2012 Olympics:

No one outside the UK admires the NHS.

@LionCub888 @LeilaHormozi You're right, but the best analogy I've found that elucidates why this is a probabilistic reason error comes from @ATabarrok x.com/ATabarrok/stat…

@LeilaHormozi You should learn statistics again. It's like saying "you should buy lottery tickets over and over. It will increase your chance of winning." Wrong. Common sense and math are not the same.

Becoming successful is not luck. It’s math. If your probability of success is 1/100 and you try 100 times, you have a 100% chance of success.

@ofcrdeonjoseph Incredible commentary. Utterly captivating. Random thought: why is it that basically every human intrinsically roots for this bunny? We're ecstatic, all celebrating that our team won when bunny got away. As the apex predator on Earth it's a nice thing that we think this way.

I was 100% captured by this. 🤣🤣🤣. Great commentary. Way to go rabbit.

@ATabarrok Begetting a girl is not luck. It’s math.

Since the probability of a girl child is 1/2 you only need to have two kids to be guaranteed a girl.

@ATabarrok This is such a wonderful, concise, psychologically vivid example of this class of probabilistic reasoning error. Thank you for this gift.

@bluewmist A men’s option: an exquisite Autumn/Winter coat. Seriously, spend like $1000 on one of these things. For one, they cover 70% of your body so you’re most of the way towards looking completely slick. They last forever, they keep you warm, they make you feel great about yourself.

What is a 'buy it for life' item that is offensively expensive, but the moment you use it, you realize your entire life before that point was a lie?

@Noone1137202 @Math_files For sure. Given Ramanujan’s track record of absolutely miraculous feats of revealed truth of mathematics, I actually thought it was possible he found an integer here via some dream revelation from the goddess Namagiri or something.

@DavidFoster @Math_files Almost an integer, impressive he managed to find something so close

Ramanujan dropped new integer

@Real_shadmxtgp Gotta be Spain, right? S + Pain? Can't lie though: I played around with bonkers ideas like S + Sit Knee = Sydney. Weird to include a chair and sitting if the key concept is merely pain!

Can you solve the hidden country?

@lifelikedrone @Rainmaker1973 One society dies at rates of ~20% to homicide, infanticide, or accidents, and ~65% to infectious disease or parasitic illness. Lifetime maternal risk of dying in childbirth is ~7.5%. Human-caused extinction is awful, but I'm siding with whatever team minimises human suffering.

@Rainmaker1973 The society on the right preserves the earth in it's most natural state. They live amongst nature rather than destroy it for their selfish ends. The society on the right doesn't lead to extinctions of fauna and flora, the destruction of the ozone, or the need for a new planet

Both societies exist simultaneously. really incredible to think about

@knitrockchick @F0ODHub Many Brits will call that sacrilegious! I’m a massive fan of Branston pickle so maybe it’s time I do a blind taste test of Heinz vs Branston beans. I’m open to the idea that Branston could be superior!

@DavidFoster @F0ODHub I prefer Branston beans - Heinz is bland imo.

What’s missing from this meal?

@MushrafAli3593 Pap, pip, poop, pump, pimp, peep, prep, perp, prop, pop, pup, pep. Psychopomp. These are genuinely just from memory. This is so wrong.

No word starts with a p and ends with a p..

@KOENMA_CATBACK Brother that was incredible.

ご機嫌なのが出来た。 逆再生CHOP N FLIP

@zundamotisuki We love you Japanese people and this wondrous Earth we cohabit will be better off with more of your brilliant kind. Go forth and multiply! For the benefit of humanity! ❤️🇯🇵

今海外で拡散中の高市総理の演説 移民を増やすのではなく、日本の子供を多く持つことが日本の人口減少を解決する鍵だと述べ、日本文化を尊重しない外国人を批判しました 左翼のグローバリスト達は怒り狂い、彼女の話を遮って発言を止めようとしたと海外で話題に

@LincolnMargison @stevenspohn We're thinking deeply about making our game maximally accessible. It's more than a want for us. There's a richness of game experience that'd be stifled if it were superseded by every individual's right to access. A symphony's merit remains if there are those who cannot hear it.

You have every right to access any game you want. If you can't play it or don't enjoy it for any reason (ability or otherwise) then refund and get something else. You have no 'right' to ensure the game is suited to you. Developers should WANT their game to be as accessible as possible so that they have more players, less refunds, less bad reviews, etc. But you can't expect every game to work for a tongue input device because someone out there might feel a right to play it.

My right to access a game supersedes your right to immersion. Accessibility options can be turned off, leaving your immersion intact. My disability cannot be switched off. Your desire to brag about beating a difficult game should not be fulfilled at the cost of people like me.
