I've decided to move on from being a 30 yr old NEET by studying and practicing one particular school of philosophy for the rest of my life. I need a book/s that give my a proper overview of every school there is so that I can choose one?
>>23347590>how about you just come up with your shit instead of turning yourself into another bot?I did, but on further searching for my answers, I came to know some guys named "David Hume" and "Baruch Spinoza" found out about them long ago and called them "Is/Ought" and "Cogito, ergo sum" theories.

There is no such book. However, if you had me at gunpoint, I would say Sir Anthony Kenny’s A New History of Western Philosophy and Ritchie Robertson’s The Enlightenment. Add something in on world religions for good measure.

>>23350195>You fail to consider the nature of locations and restrictions they might impose on visitorsand how would this be any different in your game?
>>23350162>Character movements and locations for one thing are something that take up a lot of pages in a book, but you don't pay any attention to them in visual mediums.Do you mean travel or do you mean positioning within a scene? I don't get it. It's easy to elide this in writing and meanwhile there are video games that spend a lot of time on it. >Neither is there need to dwell on why the protagonist makes specific choices, because those are the player's choices in a game.If you want to give the player five options then you now need to write five outcomes, four of which are ignored at playtime and none of which you can later assume actually took place. And instead of justifying choices you'll have to preempt them, you'll have to obsess over how to make choices feel appealing and meaningful and intentional to players, and giving players options in all the places that they expect them without wasting effort on places they don't. This is really hard and it's really time-consuming and it means the player will only see a fraction of your work.

Have any sociologists/philosophers written on the subject of Korean Wave i.e. sudden interest in Korean culture as a symptom of decaying late neoliberal capitalism? I really don't get the appeal of Korea, the women are pretty I guess but the culture itself is so soulless that even the fucking Netherlands looks like it exudes soul compared to them
>>23345953>AnglozionistWoah, Kevin, I didn't know you swung that way. Are you also antisemitic?
>>23348569>Koreans are the most androgynous ethnic groupyou should stop consuming kpop. Koreans are stereotyped to have broad wide faces
>>23348638This. Korean films are almost all just rip-offs of shitty American movies. Certainly in style and in tropes and everything. I've never seen a Korean movie that showed any originality or the kind of soul that you would find in Chinese movies of the Fifth Generation or Japanese movies from directors like Akira Kurosawa. Who's ever even heard of a Korean director? Their movies are just like studio movies. Hollywood type garbage.
>>23345894I think it's a matter of the rest of the world growing as mindless and vapid as Korean society.

I'm an American who wants to write a book set in Toronto and I want to characterize the city in a way that is respectful to the city, its people, and its culture. My problem is that I am unable to travel to Toronto to get a vibe for the city and I don't know any place's online where I get influence from Torontonians. Reddit is useless because if I post my questions there, the mods will ban me for crowdsourcing. Is there a way or place to get the info I need in a respectful manner toward Toronto locals and others online?
>>23349478If it’s genre fiction it doesn’t matter do you think screenwriters travel to the Middle East before making Kill Terrorist 15
>>23349504I already have plans for that, but I'm saving it for later when I have more experience. I admit that my idea for that may be grand, but I want that idea to be used on something more special. This project that I'm working on currently is supposed to be smaller in scope and less profound, but still palatable.
>>23349516True.
>>23349557read fiction about toronto, watch videos/vlogs about people from toronto, look at statistics about what they enjoy compared to other places. find vlogs about that statistically relevant stuff. find stuff about slang. watch those walkthrough videos that are hour long and start describing things in your mind like you're saving stuff to write about later or write ideas as you watch.
>>23349398Just write about an invasion force in Toronto, either aliens, or immigrants, or a US occupation force. Then you can write anything you like because they will have the same cluefulnesslacking as you. God bless you and your writing project.

>>23348600The Iliad is a non-biased tale of how the Greeks saw the fall of Troy. You can learn from the flaws of all the main characters but the narrator is pretty non-judgmental about any of the main players. It tells what happened but it doesn’t really go “this guy did this and he was dumb.” The closest the narrator gets to judging anyone is when the one guy trades his armor for much cheaper armor a fraction of what it was worth and the narrator says that Zeus made his head foggy to partake in such a deal.
>>23349795I've read the Iliad, and said what I said in spite of that. Think on't.

>>23349488I was in category 3 and I left too. Don't go to school without a plan or ambition. Now I'm taking Latin because I'd rather rob graves.
>>23349655It was probably the fact that a lot of people in there weren't STEM that they acted that way. People were scared of participating from being embarrassed and they laughed and snickered when someone did say something wrong. It wasn't just in my head, but they did annoy me so I'm sorry for being hyperbolic.
>>23349655To add to this anon's point:The only people who get mad at STEM majors are people with literally useless degrees like philosophy/english/art who are going into debt for a low 5 figure job.
>>23349674>and I left tooGood choice honestly. Funnily enough, I ended up doing an internship at a small studio during back then and it was extremely grim. Passionate, talented, technically competent people burning themselves out under abusive directionless management, with immense time and financial pressure piling up on them. Don't do gamedev for a living, kids, it'll destroy your soul.
>>23349759Game development seems to be increasingly worse with larger studios and publishers. The bigger the company, the more you're just an expendable asset. If you have real programming talent, working for a real business is much better. People know this and that's why a lot of games are suffering technically.With all the engine technology available the best route for game development is certainly to stay independent. You won't make any money by making indie derivatives but if you have a new idea that takes off then you'll be much better off than grinding away. That requires your own financial stability though.Personally I spend enough time behind a computer, I would much rather work something physical, or with people.
