It’s also fun that critical success and critical fail has the player (or enemy) rolling for a random result from a table.

It was also pretty funny when one of my players cast color spray from the back line, but they cast it to well, so it actually did damage and almost killed a player

I enjoyed the remake well enough. It’s nice that they added in some of the quality of life improvements from the later games and an updated zero gravity system (you can fly in 3 dimensions like you can in DS2).

No advice (I don’t think I have ADHD, and I haven’t been diagnosed), but a word of congratulations on seeking help! Folks in my life that don’t have a disorder have a hard time sympathizing with my mental health struggles.

I was in a similar situation as you; in a Dr office going over my results saying that I have x disorder. Just that was such a relief, and there were tears.

Thanks from me and past you for taking that step to accepting your situation and seeking help!

Ah, makes sense.

This may be a dumb question, but any idea why you would want/need to update the firmware of these controllers?

This may not be all that helpful, but if your willing to learn (and possibly fry your controller) you may have a makerspace near where you live. If so, they would most likely have a soldering setup that you could use for a small fee.

Or heck, my local Library has a tool checkout system. Check with your local library (the bigger the better) as there’s a non-zero chance that they could loan you one.

Scummy

Go to chiro

If OP does do that, please, please, please get informed on what the history is around chiropractic adjustment, and then determine which practitioner (not doctor since they aren’t medically licensed) fits your needs and acceptable methodology.

Chiropractic practice originated around spiritualism, and to some it’s a con man’s version of osteopathic treatment.

Chiropractic adjustment reportedly works for some people, but there are many practitioners out there that may do more harm than good.

Heckin awwwww

There’s making a game, and then there’s making an engine and a game.

Yep

Sometimes I roll dice just to mess with my players.

The background story had a lot less pictures than I was hoping 😔

L. Ron Hubbard might have thoughts if he was alive.

Some billionaires

Kiwi bird in New Zealand? Chance in a million.

And making them work to repay it!

You sure you’re not looking though a pamphlet for Baconfest?

I’m also a builder for tabletop, and if you’re still interested in 3d printing some what take a look at tesin printers. They have different trade-offs than FDM (filament) printers, but mine has been very reliable without any tinkering. It’s really nice for printing stl’s from online (I don’t model anything myself).

The line of reasoning that I have is this: there are many artists, entrepreneurs, scientists, etc out there, but few of them have the financial security and connections via their wealthy family to chase those careers that someone like Taylor Swift had growing up. Financial security in this case being a family there for you that can fully support you if your life goes sideways.

The issue that I see when we put people like Taylor Swift on the success pedestal, and they don’t acknowledge the privilege and luck that it took to get there, it feels disingenuous.
