  • Prey gives you the choices up front, tells you they don’t matter, then gives you a really good game to play.

    plot twist

    The way you play is entirely up to you, but that’s the point. Are you who you say you are? It’s easy to say whether you’ll flip a switch or push a person when you’re answering questions at a desk, but it’s suddenly much harder when you’re actually faced with the problem. What will you choose?


  • If you are worried, a qualified medical practitioner is always more reliable than a web forum.

    Insufficient or poor quality sleep can cause problems with attention and memory, and can exacerbate existing conditions.

    Poor sleep could be caused by a medical condition (sleep apnoea), or psychological (stress). Often stress can be hard to identify, particularly if it’s long term stress.

    Again, this might not be your problem, and finding the right doctor who actually listens to you is important. Don’t be afraid to try more than 1 doctor if the first makes you uncomfortable.












  • Most engines are less than 30% efficient at producing movement. The majority of the energy is lost as heat.

    Thermodynamics tells us that pretty much all energy ends up as heat. In a closed system, any device that uses energy is 100% efficient at making heat. A 1000W computer will make exactly as much heat as a 1000W heater.

    A 100% efficient engine can only exist if the desired output is heat, thus making it a pretty useless engine. Also, in a closed system, the exhaust cannot leave.
