  1. I like the idea and while I can get behind the system being capable of resetting what is more interesting is what happens when you stack choices on top of each other to balance or cleanse out issues that already exist in societies or niche-communities that have already been disrupted. It's still miles away from Black Swan event forecasting that theoretical Economists use for predicting why changes happen to societies based on trigger events but its a start in the right direction. I can see this really benefiting politicians only if the system is closed and isn't really used by any entity to shift societal distress based on a model that is the current society that people live in. The bigger issue also lies in the fact that the entities in the system will probably never really behave like people do in the real world simply because they are singular entities with a goal-set that drives towards outcomes based on how the environment treats them. As opposed to real people who can make drastic decisions based on extraneous factors that even AI can't completely comprehend and bleed into its own logic due to logic-failure and system shutdown. I can't remember where I read this but there was talk about systems designed for failure instead of success and how they were trying to bring the two together to build autonomous systems which can use these two extremities to mimic real societies but once again far far away. I wonder whether this system would have predicted that Trump would be president? Probably would have considering it had very little to work with. Great read as always @nudge
  2. I think its easily put into context with one sentence. "It's all they really have"
  3. i remember being in college and people streaming games but most of the people I hung out with that supported a Serie A team either went to Juve or inter. There was an exception which was Lazio and he was a bit on the eccentric side.
  4. Kind of odd you mention that because when I lived in Abu Dhabi there was a huge Roma/Inter following with some spurts of Juventus and over here (in India) I find more Juventus fans than anything else. I do however remember that when I was younger I'd see a lot more AC Milan fans right about the early 90s. I can't really remember what it was like in America although I'd imagine for some reason that they'd be more like Australia with more Inter/Juve fans too because I can't remember meeting too many people who followed AC Milan there either but that might just be coincidental once again.
  5. Any particular reason for that? Or just something that came up as a coincidence?
  6. I remember that Inter side well. I also remember watching another player that was there for years, Zanetti, and how much I liked watching him play too.
  7. Think @Berserker likes them but I could be wrong about that. It is a little strange to me because growing up they were a serious powerhouse in Europe. Taking what was said above into context it does make sense actually. I can think of only a handful of members who actually follow Italian football passionately on here.
  8. Always found it weird that such a great club never really had any presence on this forum. Not hard to see why no one is really interested in them anymore as their fall from grace has probably shunned off a lot of would-be supporters.
  9. I actually hope Shaqiri works out for us. Has the pace and the will sometimes to do some serious damage on the flanks. If he gets bedded in like the rest of the players no one thought would do well this is going to help in the longer run to nullify the problem of losing pace and energy later on in games.
  10. Please tell me thats not who I think it is.
  11. Sigh the saga of a goalkeeper is going to last us all through this transfer window. Are we even linked with anyone worthwhile?
  12. https://www.polygon.com/2018/7/9/17549176/darksiders-3-release-date-apocalypse-edition Darksiders 3 has an official release date and editions announced as well. Love it.
  13. Tell you what, I watched that game and was thinking "Don't fuck this up don't fuck this up" and to be fair there were some really good penalties in there.

    Get well soon mate. That sounds horrible and I hope the MRI scan comes back with some good news for you.
  15. What I like more than the first lineup is the fact that we're slowly building backups and a bench that can offer a threat to teams as well.
  16. Bit off the digital path but I played this the other day https://www.shutupandsitdown.com/review-blood-rage/ Loads of fun if you have four people and we went through about 3 rounds. Since we don't have an actual non-digital gaming board I figured I'd put it here.
  17. I used to do it with games I have no affinity for anymore. With the digital downloads it doesn't happen anymore but back in the day I had some proper howlers on many of the systems I owned. I have literally tried to give away my misorder of Catherine because I dont need two discs for the PS3 but no bites so far. @Bluebird Hewitt if you ever go in trying to trade a Steelbook edition of a PS3/4 game the shopowner's eyes light up like a christmas tree.
  18. Aye, you really have to go hunting. I remember once trying to get rid of a copy of RE ZERO and having such a nightmare trying to get any money for it at all. Nevermind that it was dirt-cheap at the time. But the more mint things are the more convinced the person is giving you the deal as well and I have seen some consoles that look like they've been to war.
