Thanks, NWN is the only game I'm still waiting for

I was going to get Star Control 1+2, but apparently (according to the first review under the game) the freeware remake "The Ur-Quan Masters" is even better.

Only mod I used was uncensored sex cards :D. (from my older non EE disks, not sure if gog.com 's EE version has the censored sex cards or not).

Only BG games I dont have yet the GOG versions, DA2 on PS2 (why they only put the first game on GC I dont know) and BG2 EE (waiting on price drop i think for that one)

It's called "there is a time and a place". Mom likely taught you that when you were little but probably forgot about it.

Fixed Action Patterns are behaviours animals do that is a response already present in the brain without any real conscious thought - the instinct to raise the child to the breast is an FAP even in such a complex brain as a human's. That is something encoded in structural genes expressed through the central dogma, leading to protein formation leading to the eventual connection of axons in the brain that lead to that specific 'circuit' being completed under certain stimuli... so if you mean that there is a genetic component to behaviour, you would be correct. If you mean a child remembers what his mother did, there is no real basis for that and it can be explained by other things. There's a quote I jotted down in my notepad related to that, if you'd like it?

You used a couple of poor examples. Dogs can be taught very early from their mother to spin around, if they do that. Also none of my dogs spin around before they sleep, and I have three!

Stalking in wolves is taught by their parents from a young age. They're taught to hunt rats, then move up to co-operative hunting of larger game with the pack. They're taught, it's called 'observational learning' technically. I'm doing my dissertation on cephalopod behaviour, which involves some stuff from other animals, so I might get... jargon-y.

What you're referring to is the opposite of a learned trait, by the way. Learning is altering behaviour according to past, remembered experiences. If they do it, as you claim, without any experience - that's the opposite of learned traits/behaviours. That's innate behaviour.

I'll leave this here rather than the PM since I think it's interesting for anyone reading it, anyway. That's just my stance on it having been taught about a mix of animal behaviour, molecular genetics and a small, small amount of neuroscience for the last two and a half years, I'm not an expert on any of them.

I hope Expeditions comes up soon.

I've avoided this discussion thus far, but it seems you're just deliberately trolling now; I'm sure you know that people discuss politics openly; it's just that there are places where it's considered impolite to do so.

Ya, another abrasive person, and ironically missing the point at the same time. No need to mention your mom teaching you how to talk to people.

GOG forums already have threads concerning those subjects. This here is not a "forum", not even a "sub-forum", it's the thread for the Insomnia Promo on the General discussion section of the GOG community (forums).

If you want to discuss politics, religion, economics, philosophy, culinary, botany, etc, you can. Just create a thread for it on the "General discussion" section of the forums. But, please, don't spam a promo specific thread with it.

Thanks in advance.

I just double checked, innate behaviour is also known as instinct, in comparison to learned behaviour.

411 patients still expected to check into Theme Hospital.

I'd have become a cardiologist, but I just didn't have the heart.

401 - did my part and bought one in round 2 and 3.
