TIE fighter reference perhaps?

And, by extension, mindfulness. Which is more or less what you describe I guess.

It isn't!

Wolfenstein: Old Blood (PC)

I really enjoyed the New Order game, wonderful world building and really satisfying over the top shooting. I even ended up checking out the math the scientist woman wrote on the walls in her room, turned out to just be random Taylor series, which is still pretty good!

It's deemed no longer a national strategic resource since it's now used so little, and plenty of alternatives exist. That's why they decided to privatise it, and subsequently close it down when the privatised letter delivery was unable to turn a profit.

There is still cash, as well as a national credit card provider.

Digital footprint is not something many people are concerned about. Possibly this has something to do with the strict protections offered by GDPR. Digital processes have also been normalised after all interactions with the state became digital. Trust in the state is high.

Not saying people shouldn't be concerned, they just don't seem to be.

there is no cash

This is false. Cash still exists and can be used in a wide range of businesses. It may not be the norm, but it definitely still exists.

They have their own national credit card provider, DanKort.

Humans should be sushi, not ravioli, according to their definition. Or perhaps more like a donut?

The article mentions them as action RPGs

Indeed, as the article writes

Even Skyrim—certainly a weird, ambitious, and janky RPG in its own right—refined and streamlined the formula set by Morrowind and Oblivion, rather than expanding on their eccentricities, and that trend only continued in the studio's following games.

Well, if by AI you mean large language models, they tend to do better at language tasks than math tasks. So a better example might be that it's easier to get an LLM to write a statement for you and checking if it's correct than writing the statement from the bottom.

The square root was just a clearer example. In the case of OP, it might very well be easier to have an LLM propose relevant case law and then check if that case law exists and is relevant, rather than having to find it yourself from square one.

Hmm, you're probably going to get a lot of answers assuming you wanted to do secure communication, not secure journaling. Different beasts I would think.

It's actually often easier to check an answer than coming up with an answer. Finding the square root of 66564 by hand isn't easy, but checking if the answer is 257 is simple enough.

So, in principle, if the AI is better at guessing an answer than we are, it might still be useful. But it depends on the cost of guessing and the cost of checking.

Absolutely. Both me and my siblings. My parents were in an okay spot at this point, but they supported us to do far better.

Times were pretty borked compared to now, at least in this country.

Giving it a replay on realistic mode, it's good fun! I like not fast traveling, and having to figure out where you are by actually reading the map is fun.

It has its jank, and the silly macho-vibes suck, but it's a really interesting and unique game. Try to lean into its oddities, they actually work quite well when you give them a chance. The saviour schnapps saving system is not that punishing, but it does mean you either have to commit your early economy to saving/stealing schnapps or accept that you will fail quests and die in combat without being able to quickly reload a recent save.

Ultimately, I enjoy games that force me to take failure seriously, but that's a matter of taste. It does make riding through the woods pretty intense with the threat of getting ambushed.

Try to use the combat skills you've unlocked instead of spamming thrust.

General combat advice:

• Train your battle skills with Bernard(?) at the training ground. Both to get some XP and to learn some important moves other than spamming thrust.
• Master stroke (?) is a really useful riposte move which will make things a lot easier.
• In general, avoid taking on more than one opponent until you're well-armored
• Use the right weapon, ideally a type you've both trained with and which is effective against your type of foe, e.g. warhammer for armoured foes.

Arguably what Russia seeks is not territory, but to destabilise the Ukraine government and re-establish a puppet state.

Which would mean both sides lose on this deal.

(Not saying it's a good deal.)

I've bought each of the three latest Hitman titles on Steam exactly once at regular video game price and gotten all the content of each game, plus freely received the collection of all that content in the "World of Assassination" consolidation. Plus the free and amazing rogue-like expansion taking place across all maps from all games.

Seems like a really good deal to me.

As in

• Not talking about race will solve the lingering systemic race issues, or
• There are no lingering systemic race issues, so we should stop talking about it?
