    The Wikipedia entry for it is pretty scathing https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myers–Briggs_Type_Indicator

    If you look into it further, neither of the people who designed it has any background in psychology except having read a book by Jung once.

    The Mayers Briggs Type Indicator test. It was developed with the same rigor as horoscopes, yet I still hear people I know are smart proudly tell me their four letter personality code.

    Stationary missions like termination or evac. Aside from that kind of mission I always run light armor. Heavy armor works very well on stationary missions because you're running around a lot less, so the slow speed downside doesn't matter as much.

    Interesting and mercifully short, just the way I like my explanatory videos. Thanks for sharing it!

    It's always sad to see someone fall for one of these ridiculous conspiracy theories. Why would the government bother to control squirrels to spy on you when they already control the birds that spy on you? It just doesn't make any sense.

    No I just do it for myself... I take a screenshot at the end for posterity but that's about it. The game is really beautifully designed in that everything that happens is predictable if you know what to look for. So it's just a matter of doing it enough times to memorize all the tells, and how to react to them. I find that aspect of the game extremely satisfying, so I keep coming back to it.

    I love this game so much, but after spending probably a month on and off burning Kalameet's moveset into my very soul... I think I'm taking a break from more challenge runs lol.
