So no one else is using Sensei's wkMeasure module!?

Another human profession to be automated by technology

It's relevant because both cases were BnG, both cases he's complaning about how other people play BnG, both cases he was literally caught lying. If you think that's irrelevant, then your opinion is irrelevant. As I've repeated before, and if I made a mistake I apologize but let me clarify again:

On this occasion, and the previous occasions where he was caught lying, he was caught lying, it does NOT mean he is a pathological liar, or a bad person.

Like MI, I also don't consider Sensei's statements in this game a lie. So I guess, like you said, it will be irrelevant for us to discuss.

Cheers.

Thank you for your service

Yeah, solid interview, glad I got to see it live.

Saying "I don't measure anything" is a lie, whether intentional, unintentional, or confabulation.

Like I said, an unintenional lie is an oxymoron.

Did you even read my posts in their entirety? And saw the recent history of stuff Sensei has been lying/confabulating about?

Did you see him accuse Rocket of being lame, "the worst thing I've seen all day" when literally less than 2 hours prior to that statement  he did the same thing! 🤣

I think we all know Sensei is not an angel lol, but bringing that up is just Ad Hominem, or even Red Herring since you introduce irrelevant information to divert attention away from the main issue or argument.

he's literally me fr fr

If Sensei were to say "I don't calculate my shots", yeah, it would sound like as if he makes his shots completely blind.

For me "to measure" is to compare something with something as constant and reliable as a millimeter notches of a ruler. I did not measure any zook, nade or dart in WA, always did it "by feel". So to me Sensei did not say anything wrong or false whatsoever.

I also agree with this definition. For me, "to measure" is to consciously use reliable markers that you more or less know will give a certain result. "Relying on feel" means using your experience half-consciously or unconsciously to get a good result.

For example, when I start playing on a Darts map after a long time, I use my "gut feeling" first. Obviously, my "feel" is better than someone who does not play Darts; more experience in a scheme results in having a better feeling for a scheme. Once I start to understand what kind of shots give me the results I'm looking for, I try to find reliable markers (attaching the rope to a certain place, length of rope, amount of power, etc.) to make it repeatable. So, in a way, I first use my gut feeling, then I continue with conscious measurements.


I don't really understand why you're so stubborn over semantics, Komo. And it's not like your own statements are semantically perfect. You call it a lie, but a lie by definition is "an intentionally false statement". You can call Sensei's statement a falsehood, a misconception, or a misinterpretation, but not a lie. No one would be bothered if you politely pointed out that it is not correct to say that he doesn't use measurements, and explained why it could be potentially bad to use the phrase "gut feeling" (for example, you could have thought it could be potentially bad because newbies might interpret gut feeling as inherent ability, rather than being able to use experience unconsciously). Rather, you just say "stop lying" in bold letters lol. It comes off very hostile, even if that was not your intention. If you truly intend to help the community, kindly use a more cooperative language.

Over time, I've come to appreciate short films more and more. Many great directors got their start with a short film, and it's not surprising; it's a fantastic way to showcase a filmmaker's unique style and vision. I decided to start this thread for sharing intriguing short films, discussing them, and discovering the community's favorites.

I'll start with Slaughterbots (2017) - A Black Mirror-esque short film in the style of a CES 20XX presentation.

I think, in real life, we can easily create countermeasures for such "slaughterbots", but I still enjoyed this short film as a rhetorical device and a cautionary statement.

Sure you can disagree, but that's the way it's staying. You vote for what you genuinely want, not being influenced by other people.

If they vote for a more "realistic" option, then that's their fault for doing that. You can VERY easily, just not do that.

Yeah, no worries, just wanted share my thoughts. I'll be indeed voting for what I genuinely want anyways.

By the way, what happens if two or more schemes end up having the same amount of votes?

Quote from: TheKomodo on April 01, 2024, 11:01 PM
No, there will be 3 polls, one for each scheme category, 1 vote for each person, and you do not get to see the results(until the end obviously), and you do not get to change your vote.

This is so that people vote what for they genuinely want, instead of being influenced by what is already there.

I disagree, I think people might use their single vote for a more "realistic" option rather than what they truly want, so I think having a single vote will have the opposite effect.

Boom race is not artillery

You said the exact opposite thing two months ago, why the change of mind?



By the way, we'll be able to select multiple choices in the poll, right? I think that makes more sense than voting for a single scheme, as it's about identifying the schemes preferred by most players.

I'm personally interested in:

- Boom Race
- Hysteria

- Darts
- Mine Madness

- Abnormal

If a significant part of the community is also interested in these schemes, I might even donate a decent amount to the prize pool (but I'll have to find a method that doesn't involve PayPal, in order to send the money to Komo). Of course, if commumity picks, say, Hysteria and 2 other schemes I despise, I will play but I won't contribute to the prize pool (instead, I might just host a $$$ cup with my fav schemes).

Quote from: TheKomodo on April 01, 2024, 04:49 PM
Pick ONE scheme for each scheme category, post them here, and in 2 weeks, on the 15th of April, the voting will commence!

Since we're allowed to vote for one, I'll vote for:

Hysteria / Darts / Abnormal

The map looks great aesthetically, but the targets are unfortunately too small, which causes the worm to roll (check the first turn in the attached replay below). Rolls are considered a luck factor and any map with such factors is removed from the list of allowed TFL Darts Maps. If SIBASA updates the map, it can be added to the TFL pack.

Yeah, you're doing great! Go for gold medal.
