But you would need to be a mechanic or at least mechanically minded to know exactly where in the engine that noise is coming from what part it is what part needs to be fixed how best to go about getting said part that needs to be replaced installing the part and then charging for labor.

You say this as if people who aren't mechanics or mechanically minded are physically unable to learn these things or deduce them on their own. Is the human brain/mind that limited and obsolete in your view?

Should I also assume you're in favour of stratification in a sort of caste system where people who are disinclined in a domain shouldn't be allowed to participate because in your eyes they simply can't and they are innately wrong to do so? Or is that me overreaching?

And while it’s true that any one individual is not infallible usually when you get a collective of experts in their field they’re not all going to be wrong at once in the same way.

As social animals, it has been proven repeatedly that we will make the wrong choices in order to be a part of a social circle. So regardless of any individual knowledge and actual beliefs, emotional interference can and does have people in a group decide to be wrong at once in the same way.

I’m sorry but somebody doing armchair research from their computer at home is not going to be able to suddenly stumble upon the answer that a panel of experts completely ignored.

Disagree. It's extremely unlikely, but not impossible. A clear and relaxed mind with an outside perspective can notice details an involved and burdened mind will subconsciously ignore.

The armchair expert won't be intricately aware of all the know-how and it's highly likely they will be wrong in most aspects, but as small as it is, there is always a chance they will understand a correct piece that is otherwise dismissed out of hand.

Top of their fields are still human. They have flaws just like the rest of us and the ones who can boast continuous ethical integrity throughout their presumably long careers are very few, if any.

Even though they are the best in their line of work, no domain is spared by deviant interests such as corporate, political or even personal.

And though unlikely the average person will unlock the secrets of the universe, it's still possible, even if they won't realize it at all. Dismissing the plausibility fully is in itself a flawed decision made in part by our own lacking abilities overall.

They make it make sense in the way the reader wants it to make sense.

Sands of Aura. Action rpg in a Souls vein, kinda like No rest for the Wicked or Path of Exile 2? Anyway, everything kills you fast if you're not careful.

Maps are islands in a sea of sand. Apocalyptic world, corruption, divinity, yada yada.

After cleaning up the first island, I'd suggest doing the main quest first because it unlocks stuff you're going to need, however upgrade resources are kinda scarce and the bosses are annoying without the much needed upgrades so exploration might still be preferred first. Unless you're good enough even with the default stuff.

The campfires are replaced with bells. Each island has one and they can be used to fast travel from place to place when opening the map right next to them. A second bell might be placed closer to a boss area, but it's hit or miss with them.

You can jump and will likely jump to your death often enough to make you sigh with emotion. And the game makes use of the architecture. Jumping, climbing, secret areas found by randomly manhandling the walls, it's part of the loop.

Bell locations are annoying. Bosses are annoying. The environment can be exploited and is annoying because it usually works against you, such as boss skills flowing through obstacles (unlockable). There's a dark, foggy map part of the main quest that's annoying. And the lack of a minimap or a local map is also very annoying.

You can see and feel the cuts to the game, but the idea is there. The Souls ARPG idea that is.

Anyway, frustrating parts aside, I'm liking it so far. Might give up on it later.

I played the demo when it first showed up. The game depended a lot on killing your victims, but I just wanted to give them a mental breakdown and then release them into the wild.

Sadly not for me.

Nah, it's humans. Humans get farted on the most. Walking on foot? You're walking through farts. Using public transportation? Farts. Going inside any building open to the public? You've guessed it, farts. The more crowded a place, the higher the concentration of farts.

Please remember that no matter where you go, someone will fart in your general direction.

A basic reason would be separation anxiety.

Silvanus peed on it once.

My guess would be a (spam) call center landline.

Idler, Incremental tags?

Yeah, well, IBS raised me!

Usually it's hardware difference and compatibility between components. Small pieces with subtle variations and imperfect manufacturing often create unpredictable instability.

I think there's a limited number of optimizations that can be made and eventually some settings will conflict the old with the new at a fundamental level. And support for older or weaker hardware tends to get tossed to the wayside because it's likely not the main money maker for them.

In my current opinion, it's the architect. We can't expect everyone to have the same knowledge or there wouldn't have been a need to hire the architect. He either should've enlightened them beforehand or be present during the installation.

Hah, yeah. One could say it's a form of digital nepotism.

"Only our bots get go work here!"

That you should always keep your graphics card updated to the latest drivers, especially Nvidia

Lol, they're the ones using the bots to fake engagement in the first place.

Need a weather expert to correct me because I sorta remember those kind of clouds are bringing bad news in regards to upcoming weather conditions.

I read all the comments, they're all wrong. It's actually the Moon energy flow that's moving from wax on to wax off. Or was it wax off to wax on? I forget. Anyway, you need to surround yourself with anti wax on wax off energy stones or pro wax off wax on energy absorbing stones.

Just place one above your pillow on a stand, shake it a little while lying down and you will soon be on your way to having a restful and peaceful sleep.
