Thanks! It has many different colors depending on the place black, white, yellow and red. Inside the crater:

Also the red reminded me of Red Fuji by Hokusai.

Thank you for the additional information. I think I did the main campaign when it was released and I didn’t follow the rest. It was also not a good time for me to focus on such a big game and my gaming group was fading away.

As a Guild Wars 1 player, I was very excited and really followed the hype for GW2. Only to be disappointed to how different it was from the one. Can’t blame them for innovating, but it was not the continuation of what me and my friends wanted. The shift to being more of an actual MMO made me feel completely insignificant in PvE, using just the basic automatic attack or doing my best to combine my skills didn’t make a difference, the mob would kill the monster anyways. In GW1, all of PvE is instantiated just for your small group, so in general, everyone’s action is important. The PvP felt very generic and didn’t have the uniqueness of the 8v8 of the 1 anymore. I really appreciated the constant gameplay innovation from Mike O’Brien (Warcraft, Diablo, StarCraft, Guild Wars) and the art direction of Kekai Kotaki, but it was just too different of a game.

For reference, Palantir are not the only ones to provide supposedly fancy UIs on top of data messes, there are many others like Talend, Datahaiku, Alteryx etc. Those platforms are not magic, they will still need a lot of little hands to wrangle the data mess to get it in a useful state, if there’s ever an actual motivation to do that, and it’s not all pretending to be “data driven”. Usually, the data engineering community hates those graphical tools that are designed to convince executives rather than help engineers because no UI can be as powerful as a code base in this field. Palantir is special in how they managed to convince the executives of the police and administrations.

Some people put so much time and energy in this kind of stuff. Imagine we could harvest this level of motivation from everyone and put it at the service of the sustainable transition, we would have stopped global warming at the +1.5⁰C mark.

I think even without transphobia, there’s a problem of fairness that doesn’t seem to have a good science based solution for now. Would you know about one?

Visible post and comment scores are still going to produce some of this behavior. You may not have a total karma but people will still get dopamine from seeing their posts getting upvotes and be reinforced in doing the same again. So the same mechanisms of social pressure and uniformisation are at play. The worst being when people delete their minority opinion comments because of the downvote pressure.
