NOTES

A collection of notes I've taken while researching random topics. I hope to fill a library in my Minecraft world with as much information as possible from as many different topics as possible. These are the notes I have so far for what's to be written and expanded on when transfered to book-and-quills.

Anti-Piracy propaganda

1992 dont coppy that floppy 1995 Video Piracy: It's Not worth It 2004 you wouldn't steal a car 2009 Dont copy that 2 2025 LAGIA YOU GET PIRATED FOOTBALL THEY GET YOU

Anti-piracy is so stupid to me. Money is so stupid to me. What do you mean you spent all this time and energy on something, just to restrict people's access to it. What the fuck was even the point of making it if you don't want people to see it?? I know if I spent years making a video game I'd damn well want people to play it.

Deltarune summary

Math

Math is the application of abstract concepts, such as numbers, to understand and explain the world around us.

A number is the idea of a count or measurement. A numeral is how the number is portrayed A digit is a single symbol used to make a numeral. 0-9 are digits.

Counting

Counting is the act of assigning numbers in a sequence to objects to determine a set amount. If you wanted to pull 5 apples from a bunch you would pull 1 by 1, assigning the numbers in order 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 Counting is the first mathematical concept you learn. It provides you understanding of where numbers fall in sequence. It serves as an introduction to applying an abstract concept to the concrete.

Addition and Subtraction

Addition is the process of combining two or more numbers. Numbers being added are called addends, while the final answer is called the sum. The symbol used for the addition of numbers is "+" known as a "plus". A use-case would look like this: 2 + 2 There's also the "=" (Equals) sign. It's used at the end of an equation to show the sum. Together, our equation looks like: 2 + 2 = 4 Addition Techniques Counting Fingers Number Line Using a Number Grid Counting Forward Vertical Addition Addition with/without Regrouping Properties of Addition Commutative, in which the order it is done does not matter. 19 + 14 = 33 is the same as 14 + 19 = 33 Identity Property, 15 + 0 = 15

Place Value

The value represented by a digit in a numeral based on its position. In the numeral 890 the digit 8 has a place value of 8 hundred or 800. In 8750 the digit 8 has a place value of 8 thousand or 8000.

Trauma

The word trauma refers to any experience that results in disruptive feelings intense enough to leave a long-lasting negative impact on an individual. It's a term used to describe the challenging emotional consequences of living through a distressing event. Trauma often challenges the individuals view of the world as a just, safe, and predicable place. Trauma effects an individuals sense of safety and self, ability to regulate emotions, and navigate relationships. Traumatic events could be caused by human behaviour (Rape, war, industrial accidents) or by nature (natural disasters). Trauma can also refer to any serious physical injury. When thoughts and memories of the traumatic event don't go away or get worse it could lead to PTSD. Trauma leads to the development of abnormal coping strategies.
