Re:Show HN: Digital player board for Terraforming Mars on Sunday May 19, 2024 @02:18PM (#40408732)
I thought this was like that one Twilight Struggle companion digital board that was pretty much the physical board but digital (which allows you to play with just the cards) since this covers just the resources mat. Still neato though.

With my limited Japanese, the closest thing I could find to a school had the name '初生雛鑑別師養成所' mentioned in an article https://www.tsuushinsei.net/shikaku-hiroba/animal/24917

Pretty much. I don't think anyone is ever getting a dedicated Renju board.

Yeah, I didn't know until stumbling upon this tutorial that White could exploit Black's limitations. Even having known about Gomoku beforehand, the Renju rules were still difficult to wrap my head around.
Re:How to Play Renju on Sunday March 17, 2024 @11:03PM (#39740187)
That's the vanilla Gomoku / 五目並べ without limitations for Black. The Renju version is called 連珠 in Japan.

From what I know, the phone apps have more players on it like Dr. Gomoku and Gomoku Quest. Despite the 'Gomoku' name, they're actually using Renju rules.
Play team-based online competitive games and you quickly learn to handle criticism. Play long enough, get to a high enough level and you learn to separate the ad hominem flamers and the flamers who are actually constructively showing where you are wrong (while still using ad hominem attacks of course).

Re:Learning and Memory Palaces on Sunday October 10, 2021 @11:10PM (#28824237)
yeah. memory palaces shouldn't be abused to try to remember every single thing. most of the trivial stuff we'd be better off just putting them in a notebook somewhere and refer to on the occasion we need them.
Re:Learning and Memory Palaces on Sunday October 10, 2021 @10:59PM (#28824172)
it can certainly help. doing memory palaces with just your head, you're kinda stuck with being only able to store simple information. using VR, maybe I can embed videos/audio across my memory palaces, add portals to other memory palaces even. all of that in addition to making the creation and recall process very intuitive.
Re:Ask HN: Who visits the HN “new” tab? on Monday June 21, 2021 @11:07AM (#27579900)
on lazy days I just checkout the home page. on curious days where I'm open to fresh undiscovered stuff, the New tab is awesome.
Re:Show HN: Tell Your Story in Plaintext on Monday June 21, 2021 @08:52AM (#27578640)
kinda sucks that you have to use your full name to register. I just like to only show my online handle and a bio description. things like Job Title, Employer, Education should be optional. I like the idea of a simple text-only page but I understand if you're trying to target this platform towards people in academia.
get rid of your biological form and become a robot. you'll be productive 100% of the days.

or, maybe just get enough rest every day, treat yourself well, don't work so hard.

y'know. both ways could work.

Re:Ask HN: Games that made you better at your work? on Sunday April 18, 2021 @12:08AM (#26849726)
For the love of God if you're trying to play games to get better at work then just go damn work. You should play games to have fun, man.
