If you love educational games, if you love wolves, and you love animal sciences, please check out WolfQuest! They just released their absolutely huge expansion today, completely free for anyone who already owned the game, and only raising the base price of the game by $5 to make a grand total of.......... $20 for the entire, fully expanded, remade and reworked game they've spent years crafting.

Live the life of a wild wolf You are a two-year old gray wolf born in the Northern Range of Yellowstone National Park. You learned the ways of the wolf in your birth pack. Now it's time for you to learn how to live on your own, finding food, meeting other wolves, and searching for a mate. Ultimately, your goal is to find a home and build your own family. Embark on a quest for survival Your quest begins on the slopes of Amethyst Mountain and eventually takes you across the Lamar Valley to Slough Creek. There, you and your mate must  establish a territory and raise a litter of pups: training them, feeding them, defending them against predators, and finally taking them on a cross-country journey to a summer home. Ultimately, your success will depend on your ability to ensure the survival of your pack. Experience Yellowstone National Park Explore WolfQuest's realistic recreation of the Northern Range of Yellowstone National Park — "the Serengeti of North America" — where herds of elk and other ungulates roam the sagebrush steppe grasslands, alpine forests, and magnificent high ridges. But watch out for packs of stranger wolves, who patrol their territories and don't look kindly on intruders. The wilderness brims with other dangers as well — grizzly bears, cougars, and coyotes — who all vie with you for territory and food. Realistic Ecology and Gameplay (Anniversary Edition) Herds of elk roam the land in realistic herds, along with moose, mule deer, beavers, and other prey. Other wolf packs maintain and defend their territory against intruders -- like you. Grizzlies, cougars, coyotes, and other predators challenge you over your kills -- and protect theirs. Wolves communicate with each other using natural actions and vocalizations. Dynamic (family-friendly) courtship interactions allow you to choose a suitable mate. Adorable wolf pups who play with each other and with your wolf and mate. Vast wilderness maps (nearly 50 square kilometers) depict Yellowstone's Northern Range. Innovative Age Perks system models the arc of life (and death) of a wild wolf. In Ironwolf mode (optional), live life on the edge: your first death is your last. Dynamic day/night, weather, and seasons immerse you in the wilderness. Over 80 achievements, plus collectible objects. Our science advisors include some of the top wolf biologists in the world today, who help us keep WolfQuest accurate to real wolf biology and behavior.

Their youtube channel has tons and tons of videos showing the development of the game, what kind of research they do building the game, behind the scenes info, bug fixing, etc!

They also go out of their way to make the game playable on the the most potato computers possible, so you can play this game without having the most expensive gaming PC in the world, and they love receiving feedback from people using low-end PCs to try to make it even better.

Please tell us how to get into IT without a degree! I have an interview for a small tech company this week and I’m going in as admin but as things expand I can bootstrap into a better role and I’d really appreciate knowing what skills are likely to be crucial for making that pivot.

Absolutely!! You'd be in a great position to switch to IT, since as an admin, you'd already have some familiarity with the systems and with the workplace in general. Moving between roles is easier in a smaller workplace, too.

So, this is a semi-brief guide to getting an entry-level position, for someone with zero IT experience. That position is almost always going to be help desk. You've probably heard a lot of shit about help desk, but I've always enjoyed it.

So, here we go! How to get into IT for beginners!

The most important thing on your resume will be

✨~🌟Certifications!!🌟~✨

Studying for certs can teach you a lot, especially if you're entirely new to the field. But they're also really important for getting interviews. Lots of jobs will require a cert or degree, and even if you have 5 years of experience doing exactly what the job description is, without one of those the ATS will shunt your resume into a black hole and neither HR or the IT manager will see it.

First, I recommend getting the CompTIA A+. This will teach you the basics of how the parts of a computer work together - hardware, software, how networking works, how operating systems work, troubleshooting skills, etc. If you don't have a specific area of IT you're interested in, this is REQUIRED. Even if you do, I suggest you get this cert just to get your foot in the door.

I recommend the CompTIA certs in general. They'll give you a good baseline and look good on your resume. I only got the A+ and the Network+, so can't speak for the other exams, but they weren't too tough.

If you're more into development or cybersecurity, check out these roadmaps. You'll still benefit from working help desk while pursuing one of those career paths.

The next most important thing is

🔥🔥Customer service & soft skills🔥🔥

Sorry about that.

I was hired for my first ever IT role on the strength of my interview. I definitely wasn't the only candidate with an A+, but I was the only one who knew how to handle customers (aka end-users). Which is, basically, be polite, make the end-user feel listened to, and don't make them feel stupid. It is ASTOUNDING how many IT people can't do that. I've worked with so many IT people who couldn't hide their scorn or impatience when dealing with non-tech-savvy coworkers.

Please note that you don't need to be a social butterfly or even that socially adept. I'm autistic and learned all my social skills by rote (I literally have flowcharts for social interactions), and I was still exceptional by IT standards.

Third thing, which is more for you than for your resume (although it helps):

🎇Do your own projects🎇

This is both the most and least important thing you can do for your IT career. Least important because this will have the smallest impact on your resume. Most important because this will help you learn (and figure out if IT is actually what you want to do).

The certs and interview might get you a job, but when it comes to doing your job well, hands-on experience is absolutely essential. Here are a few ideas for the complete beginner. Resources linked at the bottom.

Start using the command line. This is called Terminal on Mac and Linux. Use it for things as simple as navigating through file directories, opening apps, testing your connection, that kind of thing. The goal is to get used to using the command line, because you will use it professionally.

Build your own PC. This may sound really intimidating, but I swear it's easy! This is going to be cheaper than buying a prebuilt tower or gaming PC, and you'll learn a ton in the bargain.

Repair old PCs. If you don't want to or can't afford to build your own PC, look for cheap computers on Craiglist, secondhand stores, or elsewhere. I know a lot of universities will sell old technology for cheap. Try to buy a few and make a functioning computer out of parts, or just get one so you can feel comfortable working in the guts of a PC.

Learn Powershell or shell scripting. If you're comfortable with the command line already or just want to jump in the deep end, use scripts to automate tasks on your PC. I found this harder to do for myself than for work, because I mostly use my computer for web browsing. However, there are tons of projects out there for you to try!

Play around with a Raspberry Pi. These are mini-computers ranging from $15-$150+ and are great to experiment with. I've made a media server and a Pi hole (network-wide ad blocking) which were both fun and not too tough. If you're into torrenting, try making a seedbox!

Install Linux on your primary computer. I know, I know - I'm one of those people. But seriously, nothing will teach you more quickly than having to compile drivers through the command line so your Bluetooth headphones will work. Warning: this gets really annoying if you just want your computer to work. Dual-booting is advised.

If this sounds intimidating, that's totally normal. It is intimidating! You're going to have to do a ton of troubleshooting and things will almost never work properly on your first few projects. That is part of the fun!

Reddit is helpful for tech questions in general. I have some other resources that involve sailing the seas; feel free to DM me or send an ask I can answer privately.

Tips

DO NOT work at an MSP. That stands for Managed Service Provider, and it's basically an IT department which companies contract to provide tech services. I recommend staying away from them. It's way better to work in an IT department where the end users are your coworkers, not your customers.

DO NOT trust remote entry-level IT jobs. At entry level, part of your job is schlepping around hardware and fixing PCs. A fully-remote position will almost definitely be a call center.

DO write a cover letter. YMMV on this, but every employer I've had has mentioned my cover letter as a reason to hire me.

DO ask your employer to pay for your certs. This applies only to people who either plan to move into IT in the same company, or are already in IT but want more certs.

DO NOT work anywhere without at least one woman in the department. My litmus test is two women, actually, but YMMV. If there is no woman in the department in 2024, and the department is more than 5 people, there is a reason why no women work there.

DO have patience with yourself and keep an open mind! Maybe this is just me, but if I can't do something right the first time, or if I don't love it right away, I get very discouraged. Remember that making mistakes is part of the process, and that IT is a huge field which ranges from UX design to hardware repair. There are tons of directions to go once you've got a little experience!

Disclaimer: this is based on my experience in my area of the US. Things may be different elsewhere, esp. outside of the US.

I hope this is helpful! Let me know if you have more questions!

Kids Play TTRPGs

There are plenty of people who started playing D&D or other TTRPGs as kids. Heck, imaginative play (which all kids engage in on some level and in some manner) is central to what TTRPGs do. Roleplaying is a critical part of developing your child self as a person!

So what's the benefit of giving kids a rule-bound system like D&D, Quest, or Kids on Bikes? Why should kids play TTRPGs and not just make-believe?

TTRPGs teach boundaries.

Some of this depends on how a particular group runs, but a healthy TTRPG group teaches kids where boundaries are and how to respect them.

This can show up in lots of ways.

letting dice determine success

working within the limitations of a class, feature, or spell description

avoiding upsetting or scary topics, as requested by a player

offering trigger warnings and safety tools

accepting when a GM says no

respecting when another player says no

Some of those things are organic to telling a story together. Some of them are brought in to keep the game fun for everyone, like safety tools. All of these examples—and more!—help kids practice boundaries one step removed from real life, where things are a bit harder.

TTRPGS provide escape.

As adults, we think of TTRPGs as escape from the crushing reality we live in. We can free ourselves from the news cycle or our social media feeds for a few hours and pretend we live in a world where our actions are world-changing (and I'm talking saving-the-world-from-evil-powers world-changing).

Kids need escape too! Not so that they're living outside of the world, but so they can practice the skills they need to live within it.

It's way easier to advocate for your PC who's scared of creepy crawlies than it is to admit your skin crawls around your buddy's pet snake.

Kids can practice all sorts of social skills in the freedom of TTRPGs because those games provide escape and distance from the world they actually inhabit. For example:

admitting fears

facing conflict

handling disagreement

learning about themselves

experimenting with consequences (from stealing a loaf of bread to going full murderhobo at times)

setting goals and making plans

Games are low stakes ways for all of us to practice tough conversations or new social skills. Why not let kids get a leg up by teaching them to role play?

TTRPGs build confidence.

Practice makes perfect, and TTRPGs are a great place to practice your sense of self (while inhabiting a character).

As kids get more confident roleplaying their PC, they learn gain confidence in who they are and speaking from that place.

This doesn't look like adults might expect though. We think of the bard suddenly offering a grand speech, or the shy loner forging bonds with the rest of the party.

Kids gaining confidence might not look like what you expect (more on that another time), but TTRPGs help clear the path for confident, empowered kids. And that's something worth making space for!

PLEASSEEE YAP ABT YOUR OCS. Use this ask as an excuse🙏🙏

GOOD MORNING!! This ask has been sitting here for a while whoops.... Anyways!! Here's the OC I've been wanting to answer this ask with. Pickle Cheesecake Cookie!!

Pickle Cheesecake (PC for short) is Androgyne, using He/She/Xey/Zem. She also uses any science-related neopronouns that anyone thinks of to use for her.

PC is a mad scientist who creates various kinds of inventions similar to uwo_labs or Doctor Doofenshmirtz. Though life improvement is a goal he has in mind- being able to unlock the inner magical abilities that he thinks he has is the top priority (he doesn't have any, unfortunately).

Raised in a cult without a father figure, PC was very attached to xeir mother. Xey were a bastard child, with the other parent being from someone outside the cult landing xem and xeir mother in hot water. Not only that, but the cult despised PC even MORE considering xey didn't inherit any magical abilities.

Xey were continuously pushed into trying to cast spells or do anything that's worthy of a continued life. Unfortunately, no magic was ever found in PC's dough, and as punishment to both the child and mother the cult decided to crumble the mother with PC watching before kicking PC out onto the streets at a young age.

PC eventually found an abandoned building to make her home in, in a thick forest not too far from the borders of Parfaedia. The skills that she learned in trying to fix up the place led to an interest in tinkering. :] And since she was never really taught about what you should and shouldn't do, should and shouldn't make... That led to some wild things being created!!

And due to throwing caution into the wind, PC will handle things that a person normally wouldn't go near. One of those things being radioactive material!! PC has a pet rock that powers the building that's just a chunk of Uranium. If you were to put a Geiger counter next to PC, it would have an incredibly high tick rate. She is radioactive <3

PC is friends with Nemesia, an OC belonging to @vnillatree!! PC gets into shenanigans and Nemesia usually has to look on in worry and horror.

This radioactive miscreant has a HUUUUGE crush on Butter Roll it's not even funny. PC is already a mess when it comes to interacting with others, but when it comes to Butter Roll??? He absolutely loses his mind trying to be cool and endearing. Butter Roll is unaware of this crushing and just thinks that's how PC is.

PC calls his creations his "inators". This started as a joke but that's just how he is now. The things that he makes are... interesting, to say the least.

She has tension with Almond since she doesn't have any licenses or permits for anything that she does. She doesn't even have an ID or anything since she was never really taught anything about the legal system or... most things, really.

The reason why PC has slit pupils is unknown, but it might have something to do with his radioactivity! The same reasoning can be applied to why he has fangs.

PC has a stutter and tends to ramble with his words!! The more worked up he is, the worse the stuttering and rambling is.

Her hair is incredibly greasy... It would take an intense deep cleanse to clean her up properly. It's very hard for her to take care of herself due to wanting to make progress on her inventions for the sake of unlocking her missing magic abilities.

More of a design quirk rather than anything related to PC zemself, zeir goggles are expressive! When zey're wearing them, they can express themselves like normal eyes do, with the spirals acting as strange pupils.

A lot of it can! I built a stupidly overpowered computer given that the game I played the most in the first month or two was Sid Meier's Alpha Centauri from 1999. Windows 11 actually does better with SMAC than Windows 10 did, it's only crashed once! I can also run Creative Suite CS2 which I OWN on this system. Photoshop from 2004 doesn't quite know what to do with multithreading but it's actually still really fast and the 64 gigs of RAM doesn't hurt. At the moment I have NMS running in the background while I have a gadzillion firefox tabs open and I could easily watch a video like this and be fine. One of the upsides of holding on to old software is that where it can take advantage of the new hardware, it really does run very well and you get actually uplift. The issue is that a lot of people lost the thread of Intel's naming scheme and haven't upgraded their computer or they bought something with stupidly little RAM (16g is probably okay but 32 g is what most gamers will be happier with and I bought a little word processing toaster of a netbook in 2020-ish or 2021 which had FOUR gigs of RAM but there was a huge tech shortage at the time and it can do what i needed it to do (run Scrivener) just fine. It cannot handle a lot of tabs open and still do, you know, the operating system. 8 gigs is Sluggish because of Windows bloat.

And yes, I have a fervent desire for two things in programming:

That programmers optimize their programs to run on a wide variety of systems with reasonable speeds

That programmers enable their programs to use things like multithreading and large amounts of available RAM *if there is excess capacity readily available* to speed necessary functions that take significant time. Like, oh, loading screens and transitions shouldn't take much time at all on my system but the cpu is sitting there at like 4% utilization while the framerate drops to 30fps on a LOADING screen because they just had to animate a gadzillion star systems through the gpu alone (looking at you NMS.)

What I mean by that is that, for example, in the gaming sector, there are a lot of companies who are like "How much eye candy can we stuff in here to meet our arbitrary (stupidly low) framerate goal" and most of the "eye candy" is stuff most observers wouldn't know or recognize from a hole in the ground. Yes, I'm talking about Starfield. I didn't understand why they'd accept a framerate of 30fps on console until I discovered they'd artificially locked both Skyrim and Fallout 4 ON THE PC to like 30 or 40 fps. And then tied the physics to framerate, completely unnecessarily (as in you can change this behavior with like two or three ini edits.) Then there's games like Baldur's Gate which was done thoughtfully and can run on a huge range of hardware. I had to return one Civilization game because they hadn't accounted for an aging fanbase and high resolution monitors and I flat out couldn't read the tiny text to play the game.

But yeah, we have this neverending leapfrogging bloat that goes on, where users try to upgrade to get things to work better and companies decide to fill in the new overhead with data mining background tasks and "user experience optimizations" that are a ridiculous rat race that in no way enhances the user experience.

Anyway, I'm not opposed to upgrades but like, do them sensibly and if you can, learn to build your own stuff so that you aren't beholden to the anticonsumer tactics most major computer system integrators (dell, etc.) use to get as much of your money as possible while giving you the least in exchange.

we should globally ban the introduction of more powerful computer hardware for 10-20 years, not as an AI safety thing (though we could frame it as that), but to force programmers to optimize their shit better

Top Web Design Firms: Expert Services for Stunning Websites

Businesses of all sizes must have a strong online presence in the current digital era. Working with a seasoned web design agency is frequently the secret to success, regardless of whether you're an established business looking for a redesign or a startup hoping to make an impression. Web design companies specialize in making user-friendly, aesthetically pleasing websites that work flawlessly on all platforms. But how can you pick the best web design company for your requirements when there are so many options?

Web Design Firms: What Are They?

Agencies or businesses that focus on the development, design, and upkeep of websites are known as web design firms. To create websites that support your company objectives, these companies assemble a group of talented experts, including web designers, developers, content producers, and project managers. Web design companies offer the know-how to create any kind of website, from a basic informational site to a sophisticated e-commerce platform.

Why Hire a Web Design Company?

Knowledge and Experience An expert web design firm contributes years of experience and industry expertise. They are knowledgeable with the most recent design trends, user experience (UX) best practices, and technical specifications required to build a website that functions effectively and produces desired outcomes.

Tailored Solutions Web design companies, as opposed to do-it-yourself website builders, provide customized solutions that complement your company's objectives. Before producing a design that captures your distinct personality and improves user engagement, they take the time to comprehend your brand, target market, and goals.

Design that is responsive and mobile-friendly Websites must be mobile-responsive since mobile traffic currently makes up the majority of internet usage. A web design company makes sure that your website functions and looks great across all platforms, including tablets, smartphones, and desktop PCs.

Search Engine Optimization To guarantee that your website appears highly on search engines like Google, search engine optimization, or SEO, is essential. Expert web design companies incorporate SEO-friendly techniques, such properly coded pages, optimized content, and fast-loading pages, into the design process. These techniques can all assist in increasing the visibility of your website.

Continuous Assistance and Upkeep A quality web design company does more than just build a website and disappear; they also offer continuing support and upkeep to keep your site current. Their services, which range from content updates to bug fixes, keep your website functioning properly.

How Can I Pick the Best Web Design Company?

Evaluate Your Requirements Determine the needs of your website before you begin searching for a web design firm. Do you want a straightforward brochure website or a more intricate e-commerce platform? Do you require unique features like membership portals or reservation systems? You can reduce the number of possibilities available to you by clearly outlining your needs.

Examine Their Portfolio You can look through the portfolio of prior work produced by a respectable web design company. Seek out initiatives that are comparable to your own website's aim. Keep an eye on the websites' responsiveness, usability, and design quality.

Examine customer reviews and testimonials. Customer evaluations and testimonials are an excellent approach to assess a web design company's standing and dependability. Look for reviews from previous customers on the company's website, social media accounts, or independent review sites. You can learn more about their project management, communication, and general level of service quality from this.

Examine the budget. The cost of web design services can vary greatly based on the firm's experience and the project's complexity. It's critical to locate a web design company that meets your needs for quality and service while staying within your budget. To prevent any surprises later on, make sure to talk about pricing up front.

Seek Continued Assistance Web design is a continuous process. You might need to add new features, update your website, or make adjustments to stay up to date with trends as your business expands. To keep your website current and useful, look for a web design company that provides continuing support and maintenance services.

 conclusion

The success of your company's online presence can be greatly impacted by your choice of web design firms. You can make sure that your website is not only aesthetically pleasing but also useful, easy to use, and search engine optimized by working with a trustworthy and professional company. Choose a web design company that fits your objectives, financial constraints, and long-term vision by taking your time and conducting thorough research.

[ad_1] Exploring the nexus between India’s National Sports Policy 2024 and National Education Policy 2020 (PC: File Photo) Mahit Anand The new National Sports Policy 2024 (NSP) represents an ambitious roadmap to transform the sporting landscape in India. The policy’s vision of “Sports for Nation Building to Harness the Power of Sports for Nation’s Holistic Development in Amrit Kaal” is timely, necessary and well-positioned. Building on past policies and lessons learned from recent international competitions, the NSP is crafted to address multiple dimensions of sports development, including the strengthening of governance and institutional frameworks; talent identification and development of systems; enhancing sports infrastructure and ensuring equitable access to all aspiring athletes; creation of athlete-centric support systems; promoting social development and inclusion through sports; encouraging public-private partnerships and revamping funding mechanisms; administrative reform; and embedding physical literacy into the education system. Structured around the five key pillars — (i) Nation’s Excellence on the Global Stage (ii) Sports for Economic Development (iii) Sports for Social Development (iv) Sports: A People’s Movement (v) Alignment between the NSP and the National Educational Policy, 2020 (NEP) — the draft policy presents a forward-thinking and comprehensive vision for transforming the sporting landscape. While the NSP establishes a robust preliminary framework and offers a structured, inclusive and ambitious roadmap to leverage sports as a medium to build the nation, the initiatives under each pillar may require additional focus and targeted suggestions to fully realise its transformative potential. In this series, we will share our insights on how the NSP can better achieve its strategic goals and enhance its impact on India’s sporting ecosystem. Alignment between the NSP and the NEP In a transformative approach towards youth development, the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports has sought to align the NSP with the NEP. By doing so, the NSP advocates for integrating sports into the core of educational institutions, with the aim of cultivating physically, mentally, and socially empowered citizens. The alignment of these policies signals India’s recognition of the role sports can play in shaping a balanced, skilled, and health-conscious society. The NSP calls for the formulation of a framework for active engagement of sports groups and circles in educational institutions by establishing partnerships with local sports organisations and creating structured programmes that encourage participation and talent development within the educational settings. While a novel idea, the NSP should make daily physical education classes, including team-based sports, a mandatory, graded part of the curriculum across primary, secondary, and higher education levels, as emphasised in the NEP’s multidisciplinary approach. This will ensure development of collaboration, self-discipline and cognitive skills amongst the students, while fostering lifelong healthy habits. Further, there must be creation of modules that blend sports with other subjects (eg. physics in sports, sports history and sports physiology), encouraging students to explore sports through a multidisciplinary lens. For example, using disciplines like cricket or athletics to teach the physics of motion can make these scientific concepts more tangible and interesting, leading to engaging and practical learning experiences. Building Infrastructure and Community Engagement The NSP promotes the establishment of partnerships and active engagement with local sports organisations. One of the ways this can be achieved is by drawing a nexus between educational institutions and local sports education centres to create structured and comprehensive programmes that promote widespread student involvement and participation and talent development. Development of sports facilities in schools

and universities should also be undertaken to serve surrounding communities, ensuring that high quality infrastructure benefits both students and community members. This will lead to increased student engagement and talent identification. For the Latest Sports News: Click Here GameChanger Law Advisors (PC: File) Facility upgrades can be undertaken by pooling resources from both education and sports budgets to upgrade existing sports facilities, ensuring that all schools have access to basic infrastructure as well as access to government grants for special equipment needs. The NSP requires liaising with stakeholders to address the resource and infrastructure needs, ensuring that individuals have access to sports facilities, playgrounds etc., with adequate manpower. This will help in increasing the accessibility to sports facilities, increased participation in sports and ensure long-term sustainability of physical education schemes. Nurturing Talent and Flexible Educational Pathways The NSP should consider implementation of scouting initiatives in schools to spot emerging talent. There should be a focus on linking the NSP’s athlete database to educational institutions, creating avenues for young athletes to access scholarships, mentorships, and focused training. Establishment of regional talent development centres affiliated with local schools will enable promising young athletes to simultaneously pursue sports training and academics. Additionally, the NSP should advocate for flexible schedules for student-athletes, which will allow them to balance their sports commitments with academic progress. To align with NEP’s flexibility in curricular design, introduction of a credit system — where students can earn academic credits for physical education and sports achievements — will help in strengthening the nexus between NSP and NEP. Comprehensive Monitoring and Stakeholder Engagement The NSP encourages increased participation from government bodies, educational institutions and sports organisations to achieve the objectives of NSP and creation of a sustainable framework for integrating sports into the educational landscape. While this is a move in the positive direction, a framework to evaluate the impact of integrated sports programmes, and ongoing monitoring and data collection involving establishment of a centralised tracking system for athletes’ performance and well-being (alongside regular impact assessments that measure physical, mental and academic outcomes) must be included in the policy. The integration of NSP and NEP is more than a policy initiative. It is a blueprint for building a balanced, healthy, and inclusive society. By bringing sports into the educational mainstream, the policies are poised to redefine the aspirations of young athletes, offering them the skills, discipline, and resilience needed in today’s competitive world. By embedding sports and physical activities into educational curriculum, institutions can foster holistic development amongst students, and can serve as vital talent feeders for competitive sports. The alignment of the NSP with the NEP reflects the nation’s commitment towards holistic education, emphasising the importance of physical wellness alongside intellectual growth.

Yeah, nobody in this thread has quite gotten to the actual problem I feel here as a GM:

First of all, if it feels like the players are making you do all the bookkeeping then I have a phrase I want you to learn whenever a player triggers a power:

"Oh yeah, you do have that. Remind me how that works again?"

That's genuinely all it takes I find.

I mean, what are they going to say, "No, I'm not checking the rulebook, you do it?"

I'm not memorizing all of the PCs powers before the game starts, I'm up front about that. And if a PC forgets they have a certain power...

Kind of so what?

This is my bigger issue with this whole long thread, which is that RPGs don't have a set opposition so system mastery kind of doesn't matter.

Like, I don't know much about chess, anybody who has studied it will spank me.

But take that excellent chess player and play a game where I have the full compliment of pieces and he has nothing but two pawns and a king, and suddenly my chances of getting checkmate are a lot higher.

Maybe a level 3 party that has read through all the rules and optimized their powers would already be taking down the lich Lord and building a kingdom but this party doesn't know the rules that well and struggle with five Orcs.

So? You, as the GM, are the one deciding whether or not the party is fighting the Lich Lord or Bob the Orc and his three friends.

The *actual* problem for the GM, in my opinion, is that the more variation there is in character effectiveness, the more difficult it is to calibrate encounters to the difficulty that you expect them to have, and the more variation there might be *between players*.

If one first level character, who chose the right class and really optimized can demolish a whole enemy party, and another, who just chose the first thing that looked cool and didn't put a lot of thought into it struggles with one enemy, you're going to have a certain level of dissatisfaction from the latter player and it is going to be difficult to think about what kind of challenges the party as a whole can and cannot easily conquer.

Some games have very narrow bands of character competence and some have extremely wide bands; games in the latter category can be really hard to GM, especially if you're dealing with players who have very different goals about how much effort they want to put into character optimization.

I think an important part of the "D&D is easy to learn" argument is that a lot of those people don't actually know how to play D&D. They know they need to roll a d20 and add some numbers and sometimes they need to roll another type of die for damage. A part of it is the culture of basically fucking around and letting the GM sort it out. Players don't actually feel the need to learn the rules.

Now I don't think the above actually counts as knowing the rules. D&D is a relatively crunchy game that actually rewards system mastery and actually learning how to play D&D well, as in to make mechanically informed tactical decisions and utilizing the mechanics to your advantage, is actually a skill that needs to be learned and cultivated. None of that is to say that you need to be a perfectly tuned CharOp machine to know how to play D&D. But to actually start to make the sorts of decisions D&D as a game rewards you kind of need to know the rules.

And like, a lot of people don't seem to know the rules. They know how to play D&D in the most abstract sense of knowing that they need to say things and sometimes the person scowling at them from behind the screen will ask them to roll a die. But that's hardly engaging with the mechanics of the game, like the actual game part.

And to paraphrase @prokopetz this also contributes to the impression that other games are hard to learn: because a lot of other games don't have the same culture of play of D&D so like instead of letting new players coast by with a shallow understanding of the rules and letting the GM do all the work, they ask players to start making mechanically informed decisions right away. Sure, it can suck for onboarding, but learning from your mistakes can often be a great way to learn.

[ad_1] Exploring the nexus between India’s National Sports Policy 2024 and National Education Policy 2020 (PC: File Photo) Mahit Anand The new National Sports Policy 2024 (NSP) represents an ambitious roadmap to transform the sporting landscape in India. The policy’s vision of “Sports for Nation Building to Harness the Power of Sports for Nation’s Holistic Development in Amrit Kaal” is timely, necessary and well-positioned. Building on past policies and lessons learned from recent international competitions, the NSP is crafted to address multiple dimensions of sports development, including the strengthening of governance and institutional frameworks; talent identification and development of systems; enhancing sports infrastructure and ensuring equitable access to all aspiring athletes; creation of athlete-centric support systems; promoting social development and inclusion through sports; encouraging public-private partnerships and revamping funding mechanisms; administrative reform; and embedding physical literacy into the education system. Structured around the five key pillars — (i) Nation’s Excellence on the Global Stage (ii) Sports for Economic Development (iii) Sports for Social Development (iv) Sports: A People’s Movement (v) Alignment between the NSP and the National Educational Policy, 2020 (NEP) — the draft policy presents a forward-thinking and comprehensive vision for transforming the sporting landscape. While the NSP establishes a robust preliminary framework and offers a structured, inclusive and ambitious roadmap to leverage sports as a medium to build the nation, the initiatives under each pillar may require additional focus and targeted suggestions to fully realise its transformative potential. In this series, we will share our insights on how the NSP can better achieve its strategic goals and enhance its impact on India’s sporting ecosystem. Alignment between the NSP and the NEP In a transformative approach towards youth development, the Ministry of Youth Affairs and Sports has sought to align the NSP with the NEP. By doing so, the NSP advocates for integrating sports into the core of educational institutions, with the aim of cultivating physically, mentally, and socially empowered citizens. The alignment of these policies signals India’s recognition of the role sports can play in shaping a balanced, skilled, and health-conscious society. The NSP calls for the formulation of a framework for active engagement of sports groups and circles in educational institutions by establishing partnerships with local sports organisations and creating structured programmes that encourage participation and talent development within the educational settings. While a novel idea, the NSP should make daily physical education classes, including team-based sports, a mandatory, graded part of the curriculum across primary, secondary, and higher education levels, as emphasised in the NEP’s multidisciplinary approach. This will ensure development of collaboration, self-discipline and cognitive skills amongst the students, while fostering lifelong healthy habits. Further, there must be creation of modules that blend sports with other subjects (eg. physics in sports, sports history and sports physiology), encouraging students to explore sports through a multidisciplinary lens.

The Ultimate guide to Latest Technology

Introduction 

Technology is the reproducible application of knowledge to practical objectives. Tools, machines, software, and systems are all examples of products that can be referred to as technology. In the fields of science, engineering, and everyday life, technology plays a crucial role. Society, culture, the economy, and the environment have all undergone significant shifts as a result of technological advancements. What technology is, what kinds of technology there are, how to use technology responsibly and effectively, and the advantages and disadvantages of technology will all be discussed in this article.

What is technology?

Technology is defined as "a method of accomplishing a task especially using technical processes, methods, or knowledge" by the Merriam-Webster dictionary. “The application of scientific knowledge to the practical goals of human life or, as it is sometimes phrased, to the change and manipulation of the human environment” is another definition of Technology is both a process and a product at the same time. Technology is the tangible or intangible creations made by humans with their skills and knowledge as a product. Technology is the methodical application of knowledge to achieve practical goals.

The information source: Natural sciences like physics, chemistry, and biology, social sciences like psychology, sociology, and economics, and humanities like philosophy, art, and literature can all contribute to technology.

The degree of difficulty: Innovation can go from straightforward (like a stone device) to complex (like a PC).

The level of originality: Technology can be either incremental or radical, such as a new invention that alters the status quo or an improved version of an existing product.

The function and purpose: Technology can be either useful (like a nail-driving hammer) or expressive (like a painting that expresses feelings).

The effects and repercussions: Individuals, groups, organizations, societies, and ecosystems can all benefit or suffer from the effects of technology.

What are some emerging technologies?

In the coming years, some emerging technologies—whether new or existing—have the potential to alter the world. The following are some of the top ten emerging technologies for 2021, as identified by the World Economic Forum 

Crops that self-fertilize: These are plants that are able to produce their own nitrogen fertilizer from the air. This makes it less necessary to use synthetic fertilizers, improves the health of the soil, and increases crop yields 1.

Drug manufacturing on demand: Utilizing digital blueprints and chemical reactors, this technology can produce customized drugs on demand, reducing waste, cost, and supply chain issues 1.

Diagnostics using breath sensors: Using non-invasive and portable devices, this technology can analyze the chemical composition of human breath to diagnose a variety of diseases, including COVID-19, diabetes, and cancer.

Built with 3D printing: Using robotic arms and nozzles that deposit layers of concrete, plastic, or other materials, this technology can build houses faster, for less money, and with less impact on the environment1.

Its user-friendly interface, comprehensive toolset, and robust support community make it an ideal choice for both budding developers and seasoned professionals. In this article, we'll delve into the essentials of Unity game development, exploring its features, advantages, and how to get started on your own game development journey.

The Power of Unity

Unity Technologies launched Unity in 2005, aiming to democratize game development and make it accessible to all. Since then, Unity has become one of the most popular game engines globally, powering a wide array of games, from indie hits to AAA titles. Here are some of the reasons why Unity stands out:

Cross-Platform Compatibility: Unity allows developers to build games for multiple platforms, including PC, consoles, mobile devices, and even virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) systems. This cross-platform support is a significant advantage for reaching a broad audience.

User-Friendly Interface: Unity's intuitive interface enables developers to focus on creativity rather than getting bogged down by technical complexities. The drag-and-drop functionality, combined with a powerful scripting environment, makes it accessible for beginners while offering depth for advanced users.

Asset Store: Unity's Asset Store is a treasure trove of resources, including pre-made assets, scripts, and plugins. This marketplace allows developers to save time and effort by leveraging existing assets, accelerating the development process.

Comprehensive Documentation and Community Support: Unity boasts extensive documentation, tutorials, and a vibrant community of developers. Whether you're facing a technical challenge or seeking inspiration, the community is always ready to help.

Getting Started with Unity Game Development

Embarking on your Unity game development journey involves several key steps:

Download and Install Unity: Start by downloading the Unity Hub, which manages your Unity installations and projects. The Unity Hub allows you to install different versions of Unity and switch between them seamlessly.

Learn the Basics: Familiarize yourself with the Unity interface. Key components include the Scene view (where you build your game world), the Game view (where you test your game), and the Inspector (where you modify properties of game objects).

Create a New Project: Open Unity Hub, click on the "New" button, and choose a template. Unity offers various templates, such as 2D, 3D, and VR, to suit different types of games.

Understand Game Objects and Components: In Unity, everything in your game is a GameObject. GameObjects can have various components attached to them, such as transforms, colliders, and scripts, which define their behavior and properties.

Learn C# Scripting: Unity uses C# as its primary scripting language. Learning C# is crucial for adding interactivity and functionality to your game. Unity's official tutorials and community resources are excellent starting points.

Experiment and Iterate: Game development is an iterative process. Experiment with different ideas, test your game frequently, and be prepared to make changes based on feedback and testing.

Tips for Successful Unity Game Development

Plan Your Game: Before diving into development, plan your game's concept, mechanics, and goals. A clear vision will guide your development process and keep you focused.

Start Small: Begin with small, manageable projects. Completing smaller games builds your confidence and helps you learn the intricacies of Unity without feeling overwhelmed.

Utilize the Asset Store: Leverage the Unity Asset Store to speed up development. Use pre-made assets and tools, but ensure they fit your game's style and requirements.

Engage with the Community: Participate in forums, join Unity groups, and attend game development events. Networking with other developers can provide valuable insights and inspiration.

Test and Iterate: Regularly test your game on different devices and seek feedback from others. Iterative testing helps identify and fix issues early, resulting in a polished final product.

Conclusion

Unity game development offers a gateway to bringing your creative visions to life. With its powerful features, supportive community, and extensive resources, Unity empowers developers to craft immersive and interactive experiences. Whether you're aiming to create a simple mobile game or a complex VR simulation, Unity provides the tools and support to make your game development journey a success. So, download Unity, start learning, and embark on the exciting adventure of game creation.
