  • Do you have a metric of what would count as an obscure indie game? Like, number of reviews or something? Or is the rule just to avoid the big ones like Stardew Valley?

    I’ve played Tchia, Coral Island, and My Time at Sandrock recently, and they feel like middle of the road as far as indies go. MTaS and Coral Island both had successful kickstarters. Would they count?

    Sorry, this kind of thing is difficult for me to judge.







  • The evidence that ketogenic diet might help with schizophrenia symptom remission comes from two case reports that Palmer published in Schizophrenia Research in 2019. When discussing them, Palmer was quick to emphasise that “yes, it’s only two”, and that “case reports don’t prove anything. They’re not controlled. They come with tremendous amounts of bias.” But, Palmer noted, that can be important for generating hypotheses about what treatments might work. Palmer thought it was valuable to publish these case reports because remission of schizophrenia symptoms is incredibly rare.

    Two case studies! The scientist quoted knows that it means nothing! Don’t read one article that might show something that confirms your bias and go “this is real.”
