The fact that #Starfield only runs at 30fps on the #Xbox Series X looking the way it does is a joke.

@SidneyIcarus In Heuristics, you follow predefined rules. In Analytics, you apply principles to discern an outcome.

[Leon @nightlight_zero]

@SidneyIcarus I don't think heuristics necessarily pick "best practice" solutions, so much as "practices with clear decision/allocation criteria". A high orientation player would be pretty good at saying "I categorise breaking this door as Wreck" - even if "Wreck" may not be the best category.

@SidneyIcarus "Test, check, refine" is an exact description of how most people learn to process more nebulous action rolls as "give me x check and we'll just resolve it".

[Leon @nightlight_zero]

@SidneyIcarus I think that's it? But yeah, basic point is that I think this classification applies more to the demeanour of the players than it does to the structure of the game itself.

[Leon @nightlight_zero]

@SidneyIcarus In FitD, I think some players will begin Heuristic (e.g. "I want to do x, let me try and determine which Action that means") and others will begin Exploratory (e.g. "I'm just going to experiment with position and effect until I triangulate to set it well").

@SidneyIcarus If D&D wants to communicate “1 attack action”, isn’t that communicating a system, not a way to interact with the world?

Ugh wokeness has ruined Star Wars. Just look at the new C-3PO!

C’mon @AlboMP, it’s been a whole WEEK since the #RoboDebt Royal Commission reported and there’s been no action on its findings. Meanwhile Kathryn Campbell has accumulated $17,118.93 in salary. That’s a number that piles disrespect on every #RoboDebt victim. #auspol
