    I had the water thing explained to me so many times and I could never get it intuitively. I’m not sure why. These ladies are just the water analogy again.

    What finally worked for me was someone describing it to me like a bike chain of electrons. Maybe because I’m too dense to conceptualize a really tiny liquid inside a solid. But once it was described like amps are how many links go by, ohms makes it harder to move, and volts push the chain and it’s a CIRCLE, and they are always touching each other. I was set.

    Maybe that’s what you remember, water doesn’t intuitively link to the concept of a circuit or the chain of electrons.

    There’s still the possibility I didn’t understand this analogy either, but at least I feel more confident.

    Absolutely agree, great to see it written out so well. Took me a long time to come to this realization and part of it was playing even more assuming that the feeling was coming from not being able to spend the time on them I wanted.

    Extra devious as the research for engagement and dopamine hooks only keeps improving, most games are just gambling games or choose your own adventure. I’ve found my quality of life skyrocketing switching to books and puzzles/puzzle games.

    Tldr Play Tametsi, experience the joy of gaming again.





  • There are brain surgeries where you just chuck out the extra to get to the parts you want to work on, eloquent vs non-eloquent tissue. And epilepsy surgery where they completely disconnect the halves. Recently read a pretty good book on this.

    If you skip the first chapter, and then stop once he starts talking about anything other than neuroscience The Immortal Mind is a great overview of this by an extremely talented neurosurgeon who has dog shit views on literally everything else. Still worth it for the good parts but I warned you.


  • Wait though, why is the offer not valid in MN? What’s the law there?

    Edit: ok, I looked it up. They passed a law in 2014 that if your sold more than $5k worth coins in a 12 month period you have to do a bunch of registration paperwork with the department of commerce. Want to guess why? Predatory Sellers with limited time offers, high pressure tactics, heavily marked up coins, you get it. What a coincidence.












  • Not even about the single player for me at all. I probably put a thousand hours into the multiplayer. It just kept giving you more the more you were willing to put into it. It was insanely deep and the mind games were unreal. Even better that it was still the days before SBMM, so you could really see the skill gap. You’d demolish newer people and then get absolutely dumpstered two games later, learn things you didn’t know were possible.

    And I can’t stress enough that there was voice, so not only did a spy grabbing you make a bong that scared you enough to poop your pants if you were laser focused. They could say stuff to you, or worse whisper it to you and then break your neck.
