It's becoming very common in early undergrad classes. Some students start their time at uni off-campus and take all online classes for a period of time. Older large campuses typically have satellite campuses, but those aren't being invested in anymore.

I rather go to prison than to a retirement home. I avoid thinking about retirement homes more than I do of death, that says something.

What's the thing in the far left, lower row? Looks like a gun part than a gun. Also, is the 'high capacity semautomatic handgun' a flintlock pistol? Looks like one. Clearly not a counter-strike player

I thought it was more of the case that of a wide versus tall build. Single class goes tall so it will have access to higher level spells, but multi goes wide and get's to grow faster than other-wise but is split between two pools. It's specialization versus variety. I, for one, don't think there's many options for either single or multiclass characters in the current beta build. They both need to fatten up (to borrow your analogy). I'm not even in the beta and I agree. The sub-classes seemingly stole from the former base classes more than add. So it's more like you have to per-declare which variant on a class you want to go. Then multi-classing pares down either variant even further even though it's an attempt for variety. I get that Obsidian has done a ton of work to get this system going, but even with the increased combinatorics say when (100 choose 30) now becomes (200 choose 20). Sure your number of combinations goes up, but now your class only consists of 20 defining things rather than 30. You have more options as to how to experience game play, but less options of how to conduct any individual battle.

Surely universities track those sorts of numbers.

This is the mechanic that lines up with what I thought I was backing going back to last year. Unlike the state that the beta has seemed to be in. Odd that the beta didn't have this concurrence when what they want is balance feedback. Hopefully there is enough time to garner feedback with respect to this mechanic being in play.

I think articulation of something brings it out of the sub-conscience, but it can be hard to do. Sometimes you just end up circumnavigating an idea and never really figure out the core of lays underneath. A lot of movie reviews seems less to be an articulation of any fundamental insight, and instead end up mental masturbations of language trying to sell the reader more on the writing prowess of the critic than an fundamental interpretation of the film. Sometimes it's better just to dispense with needing to articulate anything and let the thing speak for itself.

Portraits
injurai replied to iscalio's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
They are only for dialogue panes, so there was no analogue for their use in Pillars 1. This way they can give most or all npcs (I forget) a custom portrait. Then your character will have an additional one so that these dialogue panes can have a consistent style. For everything else it will be the standard detailed portrait. My one question about their presence in the game is... Will they replace the traditional portraits for characters who either have them or would normally have them (e.g. a Thaos/Iovara-type NPC)? I would certainly miss those. I'm guessing they would, but it would be neat if certain critical encounters used the detailed portraits. That'd be a great way to signify what sort of interaction is happening. I'd considered it an unfortunate oversight if it wasn't this way. If they did create detailed portraits for other characters I'd assume they'd find a way to use them, but maybe they didn't even make them? Someone should ask. -

Well, I'd imagine it's hard to always source new content that is also ripe for pop-sci. They've put out an insane amount of content over the years. You'll have to fill me in on the insano bits as nothing is turning up from a quick search and I'm not inclined to go watch an episode. As for C-Span, Brian Lamb is an unsung hero. Perhaps once sung about, but media has changed. America often feels too iconoclastic to have national treasures, but to me he would be one. There are very few people I hold in such high regards period, and he's coming from the journalistic tradition to boot.

I don't watch Frontline, and haven't watched Nova since I was a kid. But I thought it was always an important channel amongst plenty of other trash and propaganda. I've become more of a C-Span guy myself, but I must admit I don't really use traditional broadcasting at all anymore.

It's not privately controlled, it's publicly funded, focuses on educational broadcasting. Killing PBS seems far more nefarious to me than wanting to kill off NPR, because NPR is actually liberal leaning where is PBS is very moderate. But even NPR is an important American staple. Isn't PBS pretty much in the same boat as Planned Parenthood where they want to kill federal funding, but there is no federal funding to kill in the first place? You can't defund something that you already aren't funding. Not sure, but hopefully.
