Interesting, I guess this is pretty explored idea in survival genre.

Thanks, will check out!

There’s this thing floating in my mind for some time. A colony management game, where the colony is regressing instead of progressing.

You manage an isolated colony on a deserted planet slowly falling apart, desperately trying to mitigate the damage and survive the fall. You begin with automated system managing the colony, so that you won’t get overwhelmed by all the systems. Then, systems begin to fail one-by-one, by external factors putting them in strain. Maybe the colony train network goes down first, then the communication network breaks down, leading to civil unrest. Next, heating fails, then environmental shielding, and oxygen goes out. You can utilize emergency systems and construct makeshift components, but it can only lessen the impact, not reverse the entire breakdown.

Maybe this is uncommon because sense of despair makes it unfun, but I would still find it interesting.

But that’s from twitter (or “X” shudders), and how do we know it is a real original?

Why are birds so cute–, I cannot stand the cuteness overload aaaa

Do you mean the bean bug?

In case of math literature, I’d say it is mainly because the equations would be horribly long. Things like integral computation comes with lots of details, or some kind of long exact sequence. Experts would have trouble understanding it, while normal people almost certainly have no interest in understanding the formulae.

Also, often there is no meaning to the variable. Like, in a real function f(x), x is just “a real variable”. There is no additional meaning to it.

As for other fields, I dunno. They might have copied math literature style or something.

It was your comment that made me realize, agtwr a day later. Damn

This also depends on the society you are living in. Good luck with “being yourself” in north korea, or even any east asian countries.

I get you are joking, but I’ve seen many literature just using sup for maximum. Maybe for consistency or laziness, idk why

Is it simple? It looks quite complicated, but maybe that’s just me forgetting how to compute forces.

I see, so some battery companies are indeed overpriced…

Do I sit out on the nuclear ralley, hmmm

Would battery companies allow the price to go down? They are quite greedy as well.

Yeah, I mean that’s why a big war is likely - also there is nothing I can do to stop it. Honestly I am worried of a world war…

I mean, it seems to imply a huge war is quite likely.

Ah I am sorry… I always forget that I am in literal third world country so my experience is not general.

Even the stock market is veering towards the military industry. Damn, things are looking very grim tbh.

Is there even a place one can migrate from US, and be better off?

But society has to find you good enough to utilize, no? How does one manage that, when innate metrics like appearance is a huge part of it?
