I managed to recreate almost the same screenshot in 5kb (and with much less compression artifacts!)

before adding the text and circles it was only 1.6kb

it's a case where jpeg compression ironically results in the picture getting 60x larger and more blurry because everyone recompresses the images and jpeg is designed for large photos and not pixel art

Not too familiar with jrpgs, my best suggestion is that you'd probably have to combine Tactics Ogre (for the hour long fights) with something else

Basebuilding strategy fps with tensile strength of..

minus the FPS, this is just dwarf fortress

dwarven rhythm games have supply line minigames

I'm pretty sure this is a reference to a specific game but can't remember much about it

Mortals cannot comprehend dwarven grand strategy games

definitely the campaign for north africa (or any other game by Simulations Publications)

halfling games: I've got nothing

goblin games: the gacha screams "any online card game", and the moba should be easy to find too. Left as an exercise to the reader.

orc game: I'm thinking this is about 10% of the games on newgrounds. You'll find these amongst general flash game collections for sure

as far as I know, yep fitting the "raw score" of a test to a bell curve is exactly how it's done. And often the score is sort of "localized", for example only other scores from the same country and done in the same year are compared.

(one related example is the flynn effect)

IQ is in reality a very rough metric, I think the only widely accepted practical use is to detect developmental or mental issues (often associated with an IQ below 70), and even then you need to consider that eg. someone who never received adequate education may score lower than what they "should"

technically, IQ is by definition normally distributed with 100 as the center. But by the definition there would only be about 500 people in the world with an IQ of 20 or lower, so it breaks down because of the amount of people in an unrecoverable coma and such
