Usually games with deep development issues have those issues show up everywhere. Not so in Diablo 4. The art direction is great, they produced a massive amount of assets at a very high quality, the story is great by Diablo standards, the ma

I think Diablo 4 is really well made but I keep getting surprised by some goofs in what I would consider the most important parts of the game. Like even when I make a small scale RPG, my damage formulas and scaling and so on are my bread an

Yes I'm Muslim. They do where I am. Calling marriage "completing half my faith" is a very common expression. Why wouldn't they take it literally?

If your social life is this small, then simply the pool of candidates is so small. You need to expand how many people you meet by a lot. Only then you can start thinking about how to attract romance, how to approach, etc, which is all a lot

Over 2 years, I attended once or twice weekly public speaking meetings. Became president of a club, VP of another, member of another (most are biweekly). Mentored and worked with dozens, met hundreds, spoke in front of thousands. There are

Apps did not just fail to help me meet someone. They really harmed my self esteem. Even when a match on an app becomes a real date, the lack of any context other than the app makes those dates really weird. "Could I have kids with this

It's not an obligation in the sense that it's not strictly mandatory. But it is beyond encouraged. Any faithful Muslim believe that marriage is half of faith. “When a person gets married he has completed half of his religion, so l

That's really interesting to me. MOBAs are notoriously new player hostile, just with the sheer amount of knowledge the game demands, and the fact that a team really does rely on its members which is too much pressure for a new player (

Samsung S20 ultra. It's been almost 4 years and it feel amazing. I replaced my Pixel when its battery got down to about 6 hours. Unfortunately the Pixel couldn't be fixed any more in my country. Samsung is really popular here so I

Not an unending explanation as much as it is just an explanation. Not a semantic circular explanation like slavery is bad because it creates more slaves which is bad. Absent total anarchy/libertarianism, freedoms will be limited in som

Like I said, there's no issue with that on a personal level. The authoritarianism is in the context of that attitude in the public space, because the public space is where morality is talked about to make policy decision. Choosing not

Trusting your intuition and blocking out people is great for you, personally, the owner of your space. That attitude would harm the public space, where standards to discuss current and new issues would be really helpful. You also think the

Science has come against its own limits many times. Hume's problem of induction shows you that every scientific conclusion is a leap of faith. Scientists try to make it as small as possible of a leap, but it is still a leap. Chaotic sy

The ox that pulled the cart. So now what? This kind of measuring jobs by efforts always ends up being won by an animal or machine. Even among humans, the guy digging ditches with his bare hands is putting in more work than the guy using a s

The basic premise is that it has somewhere in it that is telling it to make more paperclips. Put the constraints there. If you're saying such an AI would be too smart to be a simple paperclip maximizer, then I'd agree, but then wh
