if the game's information is chronically unreliable maybe you shouldn't play
@sim Anki is a lot less investment up front though
@sim check out my post on Anki in the thread, also MemoryCraft by Lynn Kelly is the best intro into memory palaces I've ever read and I've checked out a few

Eventually, I would like to learn how to take notes for my own classical studies. If anyone has any tips for this sort of thing or is studying the classics, I'd love to hear what you've been doing.

Decided to bite the bullet and attempt a different method of taking notes. I hope it goes well. Right now I'm just structuring it a little bit and trying to get clear on why I am doing this so that maybe it goes well.

In my experience, read the older books whenever you can and follow your interests. Avoid contemporary works unless they're well written popular accounts/fun podcasts. You're better off reading what Caesar actually wrote than some dry academic text.
Try to get a mix of philosophy, history and fiction, including from the modern age. what makes the classics so fascinating is that you can trace their influence throughout history of thought and action. this means you will always have a couple of threads/names to hook pieces of information to.
Emerson and Montaigne are great essayists that carry a sense of scope with them; you can read one of their works in half an or or so and be done with it, but their allusions and stories will draw you on to read more about Alexander the Great, Napoleon or Plato.
Never tried to systemise it but if I did the Trivium would be a central pillar:

@skells In April 2022, the director of the Sines port, Jose Luis Cacho, speculated that the terminal's import capacity could be doubled to 10 mtpa within one to two years.[15] As European countries sought to diversify their gas supply sources away from Russia, in May 2022 Polish prime minister Mateusz Morawiecki indicated that Poland would be interested in cooperating with Portugal on LNG trans-shipping.[16] In July 2022, a Portuguese government spokesman said that talks were advancing with European countries such as Germany and Poland about the trans-shipment of LNG from the Sines terminal. A Portuguese government feasibility study had found that "with the existing infrastructure and simultaneous operations, Sines could transfer to central and northern Europe up to 10 billion cubic meters (353 billion cu ft) of LNG annually" within six to 12 months. To do so, a 12 million (US$12.3 million) investment in new equipment was planned, but this would not immediately involve expanding the terminal's storage facilities. The option to expand the terminal could happen "if there is robust demand with long-term prospects," and was estimated to require three years for construction at a cost of 100 million euros.[17]
