Illustrated Timeline Presents Women's Fashion Every Year from 1784-1970

Meticulously compiled using a number of historic fashion plates, this timeline showcases women's fashion history from 1794-1970.

I’ve been on the lookout for one and found this gem! 

https://ffxiv.dlunch.net/model.html?language=2

I’ve often had to look up additional references for artwork, especially with the amount of tiny details SE likes to add. This makes things so much easier! I wanted to share it with all my fellow artists (and anyone who may be in need of it) as it may save some future headaches.

Asrielle

Asrielle: A Collection of Illustrations is Angelia Henderson's first book, keeping record of some of her art done over the past few years. Included within its twenty-four pages are brief descriptions, progress shots, and a summary of her workflow and tools for those interested.

Hello everyone! I’ve created a small art book of some of my favorite illustrations over the past few years. It’s $12 +shipping. 

I’ve also made available a PDF over on Gumroad with a couple of coloring sheets included if the price is a little steep!

Thank you so much to everyone that’s supported my art up til now! I’m hoping to improve and produce more original work, and right now this is a small way to fund my art endeavors while I’m inbetween commissions and conventions.

But what’s the answer though?!

[fandomsandfeminism]

You are twice as likely to win if you switch doors.

[snappysprinkledog]

Why?

[fandomsandfeminism]

When you select door 1 there is a 1/3 chance you win and a 2/3 chance you lose. The host, who knows which door is right, will always eliminate an empty door (this only works because the host has more information than you) So now you get to choose between the 1/3 chance you were right the first time, or the 2/3 chance you were originally wrong.

To think of it another way, the set of doors 2 and 3 have a probability of 2/3. Because tje host eliminates an empty door (making the open door a 0 probability now), that 2/3 chance “collects” in the remaining door. Your original door is still only 1/3 because you made that choice before you had the new information.

[churchoftheshinji]

when you select your door initially, it DOESN’T MATTER AT ALL what it boils down to, is a decision between keeping the door you initially picked (with a 50% chance of being the right one at this point) or picking the OTHER door (which ALSO has a 50% chance of being correct) To put in other terms, when you initially select one door you have a 1/3 chance of it being correct. The host eliminates a door that you did not pick, a door that would have been a losing choice. You now have a choice between two doors. You have received no additional information about these doors. You have a 50/50 shot with either of them. Because probability isn’t affected by prior choices.

[fandomsandfeminism]

But you did initially have a 1/3 The host can only choose between the doors you didnt choose. So when he eliminates all but 1 remaining door, he isnt affecting the probability of your door, only the door he is leaving.

https://youtu.be/4Lb-6rxZxx0

[clexarkie]

No, once one of the doors is revealed the odds slip from 1/3 to ½ for each unopened door

[fandomsandfeminism]

No. The host can only remove a door ypu didnt choose, so your doors probability isnt affected by the new information. Opening an empty door narrows the “you were originally wrong” choice to just 1 door, but still with the 2/3 probability.

Again, you can actually test this in simulation.

[sonickitty]

2/3 is correct. I spent an hour looking at this on Wikipedia on Friday. While I was at work. Because I’d recently reblogged this and it started bothering me.

[kyraneko]

Look at it another way: the host is, effectively, removing all but one of the losing doors.

If there were 100 doors, and you picked one, and the host removed 98 out of the 99 wrong doors, leaving one wrong door and one right door, you’d switch doors in a heartbeat.

Why? Because you knew that the door you picked was only 1 in 100 likely to be the correct door. Well, nothing changed, the prize didn’t move anywhere, and there’s nothing special about the door you picked; the ONLY reason it’s one of the top two is because you picked it.

As one out of one hundred.

This door you picked first is the Miss Congeniality of doors. There is nothing special about it except that you chose it. You eliminated it from being among the of 99 losing doors selected. The other door, on the other hand? They have to leave the winning door in play. Odds are thus 99 to 1 that they selected that door to leave because it’s the winning door. The only chance it’s a random door is if you selected the right door out of 100 doors the first time. At 1 in 100 odds.

The fact that there’s only one wrong door to remove is a deliberate red herring, a choice by the game’s designers to obscure that detail. [All but one of the losing doors] gets mistaken for [one of two losing doors] as the important part.

The other deliberate misdirection in the game is the cognitive bias where it feels worse to have something and lose it through your own actions than to never have it at all. If you switched doors and the new door lost, you’d kick yourself for having picked the winning door and given it up, much harder than you would if you kept the door and the other one won. Making a decision that loses what you’ve got feels much more like a mistake than making a decision that loses what you’ve never had.

And given that one-in-three odds are not that much less than one-in-two odds, switching doors and losing because of it is a real threat in the three-door game. This induces people to prefer to keep the originally-selected door, which is in the house’s favor. Again, this is deliberate.

[barelybodacious]

Sounds like everyone here just needs to bone

[platinum-star-official]

I can’t find the original article I read on it before, but basically on JP servers if one person or a particular FC fucks up really bad (I.E, being elitist assholes, harassing people, etc.) some players create alts with bald, white roegadyns. They then throw these massive “bald roe festivals” in which they storm the player’s FC house or follow them around until they’ve learned their lesson. 

Here are a few examples:

Botanica Eorzea

A guide to the flora of Eorzea and the surrounding lands.

I created a guide to every plant referred to and encountered in FFXIV, as a roleplaying and writing resource. In case you ever need to source a rare, authentic-sounding flower, fruit, vegetable, or poison, or just add a bit of flair to dialogue. Wondering where you’d find the Eorzean equivalent of a real-world plant? That’s covered, too. Please go ahead and share this document, and enrich your roleplaying with some botanical knowledge!
