A very important equation

rootsrat · Mar 17, 2018

Just occurred to me.

Code:

if
   [implemented feature] is for [target audience type]
then
   expect backlash from (invert[target audience type])

Every reaction is met by an equal opposite reaction.

The trick to get anything done is to make it curved in on to itself, with the ratio of 1 to 1.61803398875

That way you can get away with the discrepancy by letting it dwindle into or out of the equation by introducing an imaginary dimension, or a fractal one.

It looks good, it seems balanced, but still has the difference you tried to achieve anyway.

It is like saying: It is not opposite, it is sideways.

Having lived in many places around the world, I can tell you that people will always complain and moan about something. If they're complaining about a videogame feature, then they're exceptionally lucky that they don't have any bigger problems to worry about.

You can always find a minute to complain about something else, no matter the greater problems occupying you otherwise.

I've always liked this equation...

Quoting 2, The Ranting Gryphon, a kind of stale Furry Comedian "If people don't complain about something at least twice a day, they EXPLODE! and if the world goes quiet for more than a few hours we all die!" or.. something like that

The problem with that equation is that this:

(invert[target audience type])

returns an error of "Unknown Value".

It's possible to complain and moan about more than one thing at a time, you know.

I'm exceptionally concerned about a variety of things ranging from taxation to civil liberties and globalisation but that doesn't stop me moaning about a video game as well.

A minute is a good thing - we shouldn't settle for everything as they are if we feel that it can be improved.

Writing daily 8000 word essays about how bad this game is and how FDEV hates its players and is intentionally making their grame grindy... isn't. That's the difference.

Well, the basic problem is it's not an equation.

nonono u haev it all wrong! According to al thos threds out thar THIS is the important algorithm as of late:

Code:

if (nerfingEverything())
    dont();

(More important question: do the forums support LaTeX? I'd love to post some mathematical equations... without them looking ugly [haha])
