Edit: Speaking of typos, the graph that was automatically generated for the question "What are the most relevant majors you've completed?" is messed up because several people misspelled the word "science" for "computer science".

I almost wrote "compsci"

feel like you should probably look through it yourself instead of just graphs

i'm sorry, do you have the entire publishing industry already decoded?

I dunno I think it's pretty clear too

writing takes a long time so for it to be your sole source of money you need to earn a lot per book you write. Most people do not read that much and also most books are fairly low price. So it's not like sales are bringing in that much money usually

If you're talking about key resellers, they exist in massive quantities already so I don't think anyone needs to pass legislation permitting this at this point.

If you're talking about second-hand market, I don't get why you think allowing this is anti-consumer

that video covers this sort of thing somewhat but part of it is that genres have a lot of common language that someone completely new to the genre might not realize. Someone playing a 2D mario game as their very first platformer might not realize things like:

1) hold B to run
2) hold jump button to make a high jump vs tap to make a small jump
3) hold jump button when landing on an enemy to bounce extra high

as well as just having general problems with momentum

None of that stuff is an issue though if you play smart

those issues mostly promote a playstyle of picking a 4-5 pokemon team before even starting the game, and then catching those pokemon and nothing else. I guess you could call it playing smart in terms of efficiency but like... I don't want to play a game where I feel like I am being punished for not spoilering myself beforehand? Part of the fun of pokemon is seeing what pops up and building teams out of cool things that catch your eye, and having shared exp makes this reasonable to actually do. Wild pokemon tend to be horribly underlevelled and so don't leave much room for experimentation if you have to waste exp training them up from being far behind to start with

he confirmed to us that every Pokmon in your party gets equal experience automatically as you progress through the game.

That is some "everyone wins" bullshit.

honestly this is one of the best things pokemon has done, the only problem is that I don't trust them to tune the rest of the game to match since they havne't in the past

it lets you catch new pokemon to swap into your team without feeling like you're throwing away a ton of exp. It lets you use a full party without feeling like you're missing out on actually being strong. it gives you a lot more freedom in how to play and prevents the issue where one pokemon gets so ahead that it just stays ahead forever because it's the strongest and therefore fights the most

I actually feel somewhat uncomfortable texting because I feel like you're less free with paragraphs / line spacing and also because without italics supported my only emphasis option is ALL CAPS which has a very different feel to it

well considering they replaced the weekly 15 wins thing with it, it's not like limiting how much you could progress per day was anything new. the just kinda decided to make the whole thing a lot more obtuse and tell exactly what's going on but functionally I don't think it's really that different

as for rotation, well, in the end, I didn't actually pay anything for any of my cards so having stuff rotate out does not particularly bother me. I'm mostly just bothered about not being able to make a few decks I want to do but never got around to and can't now since some of their key cards are gone

There's also the fact that reading- serious literature at least- is considered more of an "active" activity whereas TV/video games are often more passive. It's actually takes mental focus to read for many hours at a time, whereas any neckbeard can spend all day playing vidya.

shouldn't it be the other way around? video games are the only one of these where a lack of effort or competence on your part will actually prevent you from progressing. Not like a book can suddenly stop having new pages if you aren't reading it well enough
