How would you rate it relative to Arcane?
Edit: 3 episodes in. Excellent so far except the very jarring soundtrack.

Somewhere downthread, or perhaps last week, conversion therapy was described as akin to the Ludovico treatment from A Clockwork Orange. Let's say that this assessment is plausible. Why hasn't an effective version been developed for some (not necessarily gay male) sexual preferences? Surely there is no shortage of adults who would like to reprogram themselves but lack the means to do so.

You’re smuggling in the assumption that it’s symmetric in the first place. Model as a directed graph imo.

Having read all but Whirlwind - it’s all pretty good at least, though the posthumously published Gaijin suffers from awful proofreading.

Replying here only to avoid unnecessary duplication.
I'm a doctoral student in pure math. The reason I have a hard time believing it is that there was computation in the same courses described. A few that come to mind:
Ring theory: primary decomposition of ideals. Of course it's defined abstractly, but pretty much any concrete exercise would involve ideals of finitely generated polynomial rings and required computation.
Differentiable manifolds: Early on, we worked out a formula for stereographic projection and its inverse. Lots of other examples in low-dimensional spaces.

Nine novels and a short story collection, starting with The Blade Itself. They don’t start as polished as Half a King, but the first five are much better overall (and the rest are at least comparable).

Nope, just watched a bit of playthrough and thought it was too good to spoil.

Not very recent, and the production values are poor, but the Geneforge series might be up your alley.

The non-STEM calculus is usually horribly watered down, and in a weaker school may never deal with anything more complicated than polynomials. Life science calc, where it exists, cuts out trig in favor of early work with exponentials and logs, and is much more computational, but at least it doesn’t purge limits from the curriculum.
Yep. It’s actually well written, as zombie stories go. Probably worth playing if you have the right console.
