I was 1 most of the time, but my advisor was 4 so it worked.

No way I could pull off 3 with my build, I'd look like a super villain.

You could get into Dragon Quest games, if you want old school JRPGs. Complexity might be a bit lacking given the era, but doing the old NES ones without a guide is excruciatingly difficult and you can lump on RetroAchevements to add more pain. RA generally adds additional challenges to any older game so you have to play a little min maxing to accomplish them.

I mostly thought of it since RA is beta testing multi sets with DQ9 and getting every accolade might be one of the most insane things I could ever suggest.

The irony is that this meme works in reverse for that. At least, in order of mind blowing as I refreshed my memory, it goes multiplication (very easy), dot (scalars easy), cross (vectors medium) and convolution (integrals hard).

In fact, I never did the later two but convolution looks fun.

If they manage to reel it in, what happens? Does Earth get a new orientation?

Last three were Star Ocean (the first one), Radiata Stories, and Skies of Arcadia.

Currently playing Alundra because a friend grew up with it and wanted me to play it. Honestly it's not great but RetroAchevements made the bosses extraordinarily painful to master, which is uh ... fun. Yes. Fun, let's go with that.

Oh and ps these commenters all have fantastic tastes.

Ah, my teenage hero. Good chance I direct downloaded something; the Internet was so much better back then, lol.

This actually happened to me. I still had to look busy so I mostly just studied more or worked on a second job I had grading papers. I also spent a bit of time writing stories and designing things. Adding in something creative can help your brain balance things out.

I mean, sure. Fuck malthusians.

Social dilemma theories (e.g. totc, prisoners dilemma, etc) are kind of neutral, though, and it's one of the easiest ways to argue in favor of climate change regulation. As in, people make choices between selfish and cooperative choices. Some are more inclined for one or the other, but regulation can help curb the selfish oriented people.

In my social psych class I get to share research that literally says conservatives and people who prefer authoritarianism prefer competitive choices (as well as other factors). It's basically a field devoted to figuring out what causes people who ruin everything for everyone else, lol.

Technically there is a notation for parallel lines so you can't actually assume that, but I agree with everyone else that this would have been funnier if it added up to 180 degrees.

Btw. PSA to young folks, that notation looks like > on each line and some standardized tests will fucking get you on a technically with that shit, especially with the "it's impossible to know" answer being an option.

Same. Too bad society hates us, lol

Just work the mines a few more hours and earn those 15 minute time credits. Ain't my fault Elonotron and his sex bots run on coal power.
