ï isn't an English character though! For an English document, "naïve" is a mispelling, at best. That being said, you don't always have the luxury of doing things the "correct" way, especially if users are try

Almost everyone would agree that listing 'git' as a skill implies knowing the operation of using git, not the specifics of how it works under the hood... Why ask such a gotcha question?

The Gloomhaven spin-off Jaws of the Lion also has a much more explicit ramp-up, as well as being a simpler game in general.

I've seen more and more games do that, from XCOM and Space Alert, which mostly use it to provide randomness and a timer to Mansion of Madness, which is mostly facilitating exploration. Those games work well, but for me, I wouldn't

Capitalism Plus is much more like that. It's still very, very idealized, but you are spending your time mostly managing supply lines and marketing over the physical placement of things...

I wouldn't say that. Elite: Dangerous is the current big space-sim, and hotter than ever. Everyone is looking forward to Star Citizen, although it's even odds to me if it ever sees a full release...

It is something that FATE fixes, albeit by handwaving for the most part! FATE is a much more story-focused rather than mechanics focuses game, and one of the core concepts is to only play through dramatically interesting conflicts with actu

Introduction of Quantum Mechanics and Introduction to Electrodynamics, both by David J. Griffiths. He also wrote Introduction to Elementary Particles, but I have not read that one. Both books masterfully take exceptionally complex fields an

Herbicides aren't intended to keep animals from eating crops. That would be an insecticide, in the case of insects. Herbicides are designed to kill plants, and Glyphosate in particular really only does that.
