I imagine this is one of those studies where laymen like me will be tempted to say “well, that was obvious, why’d they study that?” before thinking twice.

It says that the findings aren’t novel, which I think means this is a confirmation of a phenomenon that was found before. It’s good that this kind of thing is quantifiable and reproducible. Hopefully it helps contribute to more funding for public health and better conditions for nurses and other healthcare workers.

Without giving any specific spoilers, the game has a primarily archaeological feel, you will be following breadcrumbs around to various places in the solar system (your journal is important!!!) and learning about the ancient civilization that mysteriously disappeared. finally piecing together the whole picture is one of the most powerful moments I’ve ever had in gaming. while there are some NPCs to talk to, the game is primarily driven by your own exploration and the knowledge you pick up along the way.

there’s no “correct order” to do things in, so if you feel like you’ve hit a dead end or you can’t figure out what you should be doing at a particular place, consider going somewhere else. and most importantly: follow your curiosity

This is the best article I’ve seen yet on the topic. It does mention the “how” in brief, but this analogy really explains the “why” Gonna bookmark this in case I ever need to try to save another friend or family member from drinking the Flavor-Aid

I think it’s a bit of a stroke of genius on the article author’s part, because it’s a great double entendre the way it’s written.

Darkness in science often means mystery. But mysteries can be answers in and of themselves—at least, until you dig even deeper.

Dark, darker, yet darker…

if they really cared about intellectual property rights, this would be OPT-IN.

Back when I was in high school, it wasn’t uncommon for teachers to use the same restrooms as the students. I can’t quite remember but I think there were only a couple staff toilets on the campus, one in each gendered locker room and one in the front office.

Anyway, my point is there’s at least the possibility that the principal was just using the bathroom normally and the poor kid was being… less than subtle about what he was doing in the stall.

Having done it for a living for a few months, you cannot possibly imagine how bad it gets.

No, seriously. I already had very little faith in humanity going in, and thought I’d seen the worst the internet had to offer. Scraping the actual bottom of the barrel is difficult to even describe. I had to force a stunned sense of humor about it to detach myself a bit as a coping mechanism.

It’s not like dedicated people aren’t going to be able to just patch out the calls to this API from the apps themselves…

This feels like yet another attempt at DRM that is doing more harm than help.

If anyone hasn’t played this game yet: don’t read the article!

I highly recommend you experience this for yourself while knowing as little as possible about it. Top tier game.
