Just here for the activity... well not really

Now that the game loads from multiple places (see https://www.reddit.com/r/broodwar/comments/gk3vt1/so_where_is_all_the_maps_folders_located_for/)

What folder do you use for manually downloading maps to?

The user folder or the program files folder?

Also, is there no way to add polls in v5?

I run the game on Linux, so, the it is installer on my home directory and run via Wine/Lutris, so, '~/Documents/Starcraft/Maps' is a symlink to '~/Lutris/blizzard/drive_c/Program Files (x86)/StarCraft/Maps'

So, technically, I store everything in the Program Files folder.

We do a little trolling

I just use the same old maps folder I always used. I think new maps are downloading to the documents folder automatically. I guess SC merges the results from both folders.

There is.. but I remember it being terribly counter intuitive to make work.

Zoan -- of course it isn't full understanding. You could ask "is the mechanism by which this counterexample blows up the ONLY mechanism possible for an initial configuration to blow up?"
[05:48 pm]
Zoan -- ppl do it all the time in PDEs
[05:47 pm]
Zoan -- Heinermann
Heinermann shouted: it also didn't solve that problem but hey as long as the investors are pleased
Constructing a counterexample is answering the question: "Is Navier Stokes well posed?" in the negative
[05:44 pm]
NudeRaider -- I only heard about it, didn't any news article, so what did it do then?

NudeRaider -- I have no idea tbh. All I know no human was ever able to solve it, but there's at least a few that beat portal ;)
[05:32 pm]
Zoan -- Navier Stokes is not that esoteric I thought
[04:32 pm]
NudeRaider -- Zoan
Zoan shouted: I find it kind of sad that on the same day it was announced AI solved Navier Stokes, it was also announced AI beat Portal, and there's a good deal of people who don't know which is more impressive
you find it sad not everyone is a math nerd?
