re: hot new development in mathmatics that will cause balancing issues that will hopefully be addressed next patch 

@lapis im sorry but zero was first invented for Mega Man X in 1993 you are 36 years late

my initial reaction to the question of math being discovered or invented was "its discovered, obviously" but after more pondering and some conversations with roommates my answer is now "maybe"

According to Videogames "flux", a mathematical concept, is a construct, hence math is invented. Checkmate, discoverists

@Thomas @wallhackio Math is not a social construct, because social people don't use math

ZING!!! GOTTEM 😎

@vaporeon_ if you take the determinant of a checkerboard matrix, where the matrix is n x n and n is an odd number, the determinant is always zero!

@vaporeon_ consider matrices that I call "checkerboard matrices". That is, if an element is in the rth row, cth column, and r + c is an even number, then the element is zero

The nonzero elements can be any number you want

Here are two examples:

@vaporeon_ oh let me teach you an obscure determinant fact I discovered a couple years ago
