  • So I've been reading through this study and comparing it to modern health advice. For the most part, the 22% of energy threshold seems to be above 1.2-1.6 grams of protein per kg of body weight (for active individuals).

    The functional advice is: following the guidelines from the FDA will keep you out of the risks outlined in the study.

  • I was visiting there in 2019. Of the hundreds of thousands of balconies there, I saw less than a hundred with lights on ~10pm.

    It's far away too. ~18km to get there from Iskandar Puteri (not intensely dense, but sees some traffic due to legoland), and ~35km from Johor Bahru (the main city area of Johor).

    They must have done the whole build it and they will come thing before realising no one wants to live in a ghost town.

    At least it looked kinda impressive???

  • 5.1 and 7.1 systems aren't all that widespread, even in the music industry. Surround kinda sits in the same place vr does for me. It's immensely cool, but it'll never become standard due to hassle and lack of support.

    Most of the recent innovation in sound has been trickled down from the music and film industries. Just a general increase in the capabilities of soft synths and a better understanding of foley, alongside dedicated in house recording studios have raised the bar of audio.

    To be honest I agree with you that sound is overlooked, sound engineers truly are unsung heroes. I mean even when people point out the sound in a game, it's usually directed at the composer.

  • I got curious myself and agreed, so I went looking.

    A lot of sources specified that it was part of a technical requirements checklist, and...

    Yeap. It doesn't explicitly require a "press any key" screen, but it gives a more pleasant screen to look at while you select a user. People online also say it's used to detect which controller is in use.

    If you add a feature like this to a game, it becomes harder to maintain if there are discrepancies between builds. So presumably it's usually just left in rather than removed.

  • I've been playing through it with a few of my pf2e group.

    Larian did such an amazing job with this, and I am enjoying it, but I find myself wishing this game had the action economy from Div : OS2 or pf2e.

    That said, I'm glad to see that they've continued the trend of their prior crpgs, and made something approaching the flexibility of a GM behind a screen.

  • Because they're effecfively measuring the change in the students' performance in the STROOP and ADD tests before and after a heat wave, baseline factors such as wealth and income should be controlled for.

    They note in the results that in the initial tests there was no significant difference between both groups' results.

  • I never got it until I got Skyrim VR

    So many soothing moments beneath an aurora, in a bustling tavern or just walking along a path
