    It’s condensed content with simpler terms and plain English, which is helpful for those who aren’t native speakers, like Gamba said.
    Simple wiki also comes in handy in topics like biology, which can have very specialized vocabulary.

    But in this context, the people who unironically believe in things like the moon not being a reflector can’t be reasoned with. They won’t change their mind no matter how simple English you explain the fact.

    Google search results are often completely unrelated so it’s not any better. If the thing I’m looking for is obscure, AI often finds some thread that I can follow, but I always double check that information.
    Know your tool limits, after hundreds of prompts I’ve learned pretty well when the AI is spitting bullshit answers. Real people on the internet can be just as wrong and biased, so it’s best to find multiple independent sources

    thankfully modern ones like molten salt reactors have passive safety, where they stop the reaction if overheating occurs.
    edit: My mistake, there’s no active commercial molten salt reactors.
    But nuclear power is very safe nowadays because of the multiple fail-safes, which some can still be passive like emergency cooling.
    I much rather get electricity from magic rocks than destroying rain forest in developing countries drilling oil, gas or mining coal.
    The biggest risk in nuclear is environmental disasters like in Fukushima’s case, which is the last significant nuclear incident in past 13 years

    I loved every bit of Rain World! But I ended up quitting it mid play through when it became too hard. I found a way to gather stacks of berries to have enough reattempts for the hard parts, but then got lost where I was even supposed to go and gave up after ~25 hours playtime

    Whoop, I mixed up dark souls 3 with Elden ring. Though, the same applies. I did like the gritty atmosphere and lore. The main issue I had was the learning curve and when trying to playing co-op there was no way to turn off strangers joining what I recall. But I bet by now there’s mods for all of that like you said.

    I forgot to mention that the video shows 5pp for Venom Bite, but decided to change it since to more closely match thunder.
    Old: 5pp 120 power, 85% accuracy, 33% chance to poison
    New: 10pp 120 power, 70% accuracy, 30% chance to poison

    I decided to lower the accuracy because poison status already deals 1/8th the damage each turn and the fireblast which accuracy is 85% has only 10% effect chance. The lower accuracy then balanced by the power point increase.

    Comparison to gen 2 moves:
    Fire blast: 5 pp, 120 power, 85% acc, 10% effect
    Hydro pump: 5 pp, 120 power, 80% acc, --% effect
    Thunder: 10 pp, 120 power, 70% acc, 30% effect















  • Yea! That’s why it’s more useful to specify traditional, mythological or a certain type of a dragon that have become more popular in recent fantasy.

    The dragon term doesn’t necessarily need a strict definition. It’s just my preference that having structure is better and then you can decide how to break the norms. Although, most of these new variants share the same name ‘dragon’.
    I still see the evolution of the term fascinating even if it is becoming more generic.
