@lapis I remember coriander and tawaret were having a conversation the other day talking about "who on earth was hoping to marry sandy" and i was like, me! i was! :clodsire_angy:

@lapis incorrect. i like sandy a lot and am going to marry her once 1.7 drops so she is innocent and perfect. i am not biased.

@lapis I played the first one it was pretty good. i liked ghost trick 1000000x times more

Long post about VIDEO GAMES and International IP Law AKA: Why Sherlock Holmes became Herlock Sholmes 

@wallhackio Okay

When The Great Ace Attorney (Dai Gyakutan Saiban) came Westward for real instead of a fan patch, one of the issues is that Sherlock Holmes is literally a character in it.

The IP regarding Sherlock is a bit convoluted in the west (not as bad as Peter Pan though Fuck that law) so to bring it west they had to switch some letters around to make a Pastiche of Holmes (I believe it may help that iirc Holmes is a himbo in this game)

So Sherlock Holmes becomes Herlock Sholmes. This is made funnier because IIRC Phoenix Wright makes a reference to Sherlock Holmes who, due to the name change, would not be a historical figure in his world it just makes him sound like that time I accidentally said "Lord Brian" instead of "Lord Byron"

(I should note I know nothing about JP IP rights but I get the impression for the most part they are FAR less favorable to creators to the point where you can lose your IP rights before you die at least in the case of some manga. IIRC that's why Ken Akamatsu went into JP Politics which feels... weird.
So basically Sherlock Holmes was not a problem to include in the Japanese version)

@lapis ancient fruit will always eventually outsell star fruit but it takes about 4-5 months, at minimum, for ancient fruit to outsell star fruit. given that the typical casual perfection run is anywhere between 4-7 in-game years this is a reasonable time frame for a non-speedrunner or challenge run youtuber

however, when the farms get larger ancient fruit takes considerably longer to overcome star fruit because of the time spent turning ancient fruits into seeds. A greenhouse with four iridium sprinklers and ancient fruit will only outsell a star fruit farm of the same size after almost 3 years, which starts to be an amount of time that might not be worth it

EXCEPT a star fruit farm of this size is a MASSIVE initial cost because of how expensive star fruit seeds are. A greenhouse full of star fruits and iridium sprinklers that you constantly replant, turning all into iridium-quality wine or selling unaged wine if all casks are full, will lose over 100k in profits from seed purchases alone. It takes more than 1 in-game month for such a star fruit farm to start returning profits

You tend to have 100k to burn once you get a late-game wine farm going so i don't think a star fruit farm at a large scale is practical for the casual player seeking perfection. But for speedrunners and challenge runners who can easily perfection in two years star fruit is the clear better choice

TL:DR pierre did it send him to jail

I timed my stardew math script and it took 733968 milliseconds to run 1,000,000 simulations for a farm with 116 plants and 125 casks. That is about 12 minutes and 14 seconds

@alas I would expect a high correlation between "math is discovered" and "i have studied graduate-level mathematics at the junior and senior level"

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"
