Way too much time on your hands OP
I hate when people say stuff like this. I've been told "way to much time on your hands bro" many times when I was doing fun and cool shit that other people just couldn't do. I see it as a real douchey comment, especially when I get it from the average american that will spend a couple hours a night watching reality tv.
But no I don't have a system at all. I just simply don't care enough about it to try to record and break it all down. Props though, I love the idea of using a regression analysis to get an idea of how much you will be banging 20 years from now
Seriously?
I'm all for data analysis, but it needs to be applied to the right things.
What purpose is there in breaking down and analysing in minute details such parameters when a single rough estimate will do? Both these estimates take into account subjective ratings and these are influenced by mood, beer goggles, environment and a thousand other parameters.
Why not focus instead on game related aspects that DO need to be broken down and benefit from analysis, such as those that WIA has suggested? Why not divert this time and effort to causes that OP may benefit from?
Exhaustive data analyses of subjects yielding results that do not affect efficiency or yield better insight in any way is one of the finest and most prevalent forms of mental masturbation in engineering circles. I speak from personal experiences.
I'm going to assume that the average american who watches reality television for two hours was a generic statement and not aimed directly at me considering that we've never met.
My purpose was not to hate on OP, just merely to suggest that perhaps it would be better to divert this time to work on other parameters. Glad that he's not taking this personally.
I have nothing of value to add to this thread, so I'm out.
Good luck.
