@0celo7 Just complete the square :)

@ACuriousMind I used the quadratic formula

are you proud?

Very <3

Lol

glorious typesetting

@0celo7 What font is that?

@BernardoMeurer MPII

and times new roman

Ewh

Times New Roman?

Really?

yes

Disgusting

you're disgusting

I don't disagree

But TNR is just, no

I didn't graph.

I call it superior intelligence

This is more analysis than I can stand

@Slereah what is

what you posted

@Slereah The next page is a bit better

Why is it better? Because the proof finally ends there? :P

@ACuriousMind Oh no

The proof will be a couple more pages

But there's a box!

burn this

@ACuriousMind maybe it's just a lemma

because AMS makes you put the box in the proof environment

@Slereah I have a 10 page proof somewhere else

it's not any prettier

could be worse I suppose

It's not the 4 color theorem

@Slereah you probably won't want to read my thesis if you don't like inequalities

You know me, I'm all for equality

@Slereah and fraternity and liberty, I guess?

that too

@ACuriousMind big fan of Planescape?

this next line is almost comical

I think most of your avatars have been from it :p

@Slereah Yes, and yes.

quite possibly one of the best RPG

Although it kinda loses steam once you reach Carceri

but that happens a lot

The shinfles as it is called

Shitty end level syndrome

Yeah, Vampire Bloodlines had that too

Kotor...kinda

oh god

Vampire Bloodline

I spent so many points being a sophisticated urban vampire

and the game ends with nothing but fighting monsters

The first half is a brilliant RPG, the second a really clumsy hack and slash :/

Arcanum also kinda had that problem

i hear that the first modern Deus Ex game that

It doesn't really run out of steam, but there aren't enough missions to level up efficiently to do the final quest

So there's a lot of grinding towards the end

hmm, crap, there's a typo.

I tried to play Arcanum but I always bounced off the really strange combat system

I should just create all new constants.

It's that Thing unfortunately

@ACuriousMind can I count on you for detailed reading

I mean, I can handle bad combat if the rest is good (cf. Planescape :P), but I never really got what was happening

@0celo7 I'll try

Where 1) studios tend to run out of time/money at the end 2) 90% of players of long ass games never finish them so it's always better to polish the intro than the ending

I still have no idea what black magic CDPR worked to get Witcher 3 done so polishedly but I'm glad they did

Also I'm a sucker everytime in RPGs

Because I always invest in like charisma and intelligence

But it rarely pays off :p

Except Planescape, 'course

better

How do you keep track of so many faceless constants

Do they even correspond to anything

superior intelligence and autism

@Slereah Playing Bloodlines as a charismatic Malkavian is almost a completely different game

@Slereah I re-played fallout 4 with a intelligence and charisma build. Very different feel that way.

are they the crazy people?

@Slereah Yes

Also Bloodlines with high charisma isn't that great because in the end

@dmckee you played Fallout 4??

it's all about your karaté

@0celo7 Yeah. I got a PS4 on the cheep last summer.

Fallout 4 your build doesn't matter that much because you can level up to godlike status fairly easily

But Bloodline is one of those games where you can pretty much only level up from quests

The Malkavians have their own dialog tree - everything you can say is completely bonkers but still relating to what's happening, just in a...non-standard way

So XPs are very limited

You can't waste points on things you won't use

I hear it's also fairly different with the Nosferatus

Since you can't be seen by normal people

Ah, sure - they mostly can't interact with normal humans at all

It's really impressive what they did for all the different clans and really sad it all breaks down in the end

I always found this a weird idea

@Slereah Well, yeah. But I continued to follow that track as I leveled up. So I still had trouble carrying enough stuff when I was in the high twenties for level. On the other hand my settlements were brilliant.

How High Can My Constants Go

I mean, if you saw a dude with a deformed face in the street

C_{15} is likely

Would you say something

That would be rude

crapola, there's a typo

how far has this propagated

damn

@Slereah It is part of the Nosferatu's curse that humans usually really do react to them as if they are monsters, not just deformed humans

Though I wish they made a Mage game instead

Mage is a pretty cool universe

It's...the same universe ;P

Well yes, but

Different focus

Also while the same universe, they don't really mesh that well

Incidentally, I did play a V:tM game today with pretty heavy Mage/technocracy involvement

Because the notion of magic is completely different in both

Mage is like... Some weird mix of mage stereotypes of all nations, weird conspiracy theories and horrible 90's style

@Slereah Sure - living Mages draw from entirely different powers than vampires.

@ACuriousMind Kinda more than that

It's like

The very fabric of reality differs

I think they tried to put them in the same universe because hey money

I mean, that's part of why the Tremere weren't ever really happy with having become vampires - they lost their ability to work true magic

but the whole consensus thing doesn't really go well with Vampire and Werewolf

all hail me

It's like reality is supposed to be determined by the consensus, and wizards just have the hability to have their own little consensus locally

But this doesn't apply to any other race

It's weird

but then again the World of Darkness mythos is a giant clusterfuck of whatever they threw in there

no cussing

c u s s

Sure - it's not one consistent world, it's a plethora of concepts from which you can choose for your game whatever you like

reeeeeeee

I should join the Technocracy, really

I'm sure they have jobs for working in GR

You're obviously a Void Engineer

yes

The best

or maybe I'm one of the Steampunk fellow

I forget their names

The science wizards

@Blue Careful when reading tag wiki edit suggestions that conflict with consensus on meta posts!

The Sons of the Ether

I recall a bit of text saying that relativity and QM were a Son of Ether plot to make the consensus wackier

@Blue I don't know - maybe you thought it was fine, in which case you didn't mess up :P I definitely didn't think it was fine though. here

@Slereah Yes - relativity was their tool to make the aether disappear from Consensus.

So yeah, guess they're right up your alley

Well I dunno

For the most part the Sons of Ether are too wacky old timey scientists

@Blue Yup - to me, this seems to be disagreeing with this

It's all Steampunk wackiness

Technocracy seems more serious :p

Yes, but it's also more evil :P

@Blue If you think it's fine, then it's fine :) I'm just getting slightly alarmed

@ACuriousMind Obviously you don't remember how awful the age of magic was!

The Consensus is pretty nice I say!

@Slereah Oh, I don't mean their disdain for other magic. I mean their "New World Order" plots and their general history of supporting autocracies.

Like the wizards are any better!

They wants kings and theocracies!

@Blue Ah, I'm saying that an algorithm is, in the CS sense, something that's not an actual program and more of a 'how the program works', while questions such as "How do I initilaize a Qubit to a given value in Q#" aren't algorithms, but are on topic (although that wouldn't exactly be the hardest of questions)

Are there any differences between C# and Q# anyway, except for the bitwise operators?

@ACuriousMind the proof continues!

Why is there are box then?! (I didn't really understand your last reply :P)

you need the \end{proof} in the code

“Clearly, one uses complex numbers and the other just rationals!” (I obviously don’t know Q# or C#.)

Mage was all cyberspace battles, steampunk and goths

@0celo7 Oh, yout're saying it's work in progress

So terribly 90's

@Slereah I've never actually used C#, so don't particularly know, except that variables in Q# are immutable by default (OK, this is a minor thing :P)

@ACuriousMind yes, I am writing up the second to last proof of the thesis

fresh off the scratch pad
