The more space the │ ║ better, but still with nothing inbetween. │ ║ │ ║ yeah, sure, let's build more houses. │ ║ │ ║ why don't we build habitat around them? it'd cut down on the necessary space │ ║ required if places which were natural but not really all that sacred were │ ║ converted into mixed-species homing grounds │ ║ │ ║ ... don't humans leave like, trash on the street once a week? sounds like a bad │ ║ idea if you got pandas and raccoons rifling through each other's baggage. │ ║ │ ║ there are people who have been fighting bosses their whole lives.

Okay. Let's write it to RAM and then start working on the next one. │ ║ Once we run out of space or the operating system needs more, we can relinquish │ ║ the oldest ones. The idea is to store state after all which could be │ ║ programmatically checked to make sure it didn't change underneath our feet. │ ║ Then you pretty much wouldn't need to worry about buffer overflows or │ ║ cybersecurity incidents at all... │ ║ │ ║ after all, it's only read only. what's the harm in reading our tax │ ║ documentation? │ ║ │ ║ anyway, something about functional programming languages like lisp passing the │ ║ entire state of the program to each recursion...if you use that kind... │ ╟─────────┐ ┌───────────┤ ║ similar │ │ different │ ╚═════════╧═══════════════════════════════════════════════════─────────┴───────────┘ -> file: fediverse/5231 ╔══════════════════════════════════════════════════════════════────────────────────┐ ║ the biggest lie of Warcraft is that the nations of Azeroth wouldn't find common │ ║ ground while fighting each other over peace. │ ║ │ ║ Maybe a Tauren or Night Elf wanted to fight for the Horde.

They should still have a ranking, and matchmake against similarly skilled foes, while also putting high level players amongst low level players occasionally (and fairly, so maybe one on each team "smurf" style) in order to both teach the low level players and let the high level player have catharsis. When players are rewarded for being good, they stop playing the game to enjoy it. That's fine, but both pickup games and NBA can exist at once and its not due to the logistics of organizing a large group of skilled basketball players. It's not always about skill. By rewarding players for the number and quality of games they play, (so, no afk-ing or throwing outside of being drunk or whatever) not only can you increase engagement but also you encourage low-level and low-skill players to compete just as much. Especially if you tell them "hey, we'll match you up with people who have similar gameplay habits to you. Give it a bit though because the system needs to be calibrated to your particular spirit" ┌─────────┐ ┌───────────┐ │ similar │ │ different │ ╘═════════╧════════════════════════════════════════════════════───────┴───────────┘ |
