It can be fine to just “talk it out, man”, but that runs into the problem where my character on paper has CHA 20 but me in real life rocks a solid 10 CHA. Or the other case, where the fighter with 8 CHA has a salesguy for a player, and he punches well above his on-paper skills using his real life personality, where I’m sidelined.

There is another. I’ve found that being (imo) charasmatic, and being a charasmatic character, means DMs just talk to me, rather than ever asking for any rolls. Sure, my argument is convincing, but I still want to use my numbers!

I don’t work in software, but networking, where I often have to work in CLI for configurations on multiple devices simultaneously. What I’ve been taught, and what’s worked for me, is drawing logical diagrams by hand with pen and paper when I’m working in a system that I think has the complexity level to get lost in. I don’t know for sure how well that will translate to software in general unfortunately.

Where that line is varies person to person, so you might only do it for those weird legacy systems. That’s usually how it is for me. This is how I best understand things in general. Laying them out physically in front of me and writing it all by hand in the format that I Intuit really helps me keep track of exactly where I’m working on what

It’s designed that way, because it has the same effect on everyone. People with ADHD are just starting with a lower capacity for it. The goal is to get as many people as possible to give up on getting what should be theirs in order to “save money”. It’s the same thing you’ll see in certain software when you try to do something they don’t like, for example, opening a link in an external browser, or contacting an actual support representative. Suddenly, this app is really poorly designed! It’s not a bug, it’s a feature

Yeah, I feel like it would have been funnier without the text

I’m told the government said they’d allow anyone involved in the murder, even if they didn’t do any damage

My empire for some real Jedi politics in mainline canon

The earth is a marble with a smooth base, so it doesn’t roll away

I played it back when it was free before Monster Hunter Worlds came out, and it was great then!

There must be something else at play. It could be that, unlike other cephalopods that swim, like you would expect, the nautilus propells itself through the ocean by expelling high pressure jets of water

I don’t think regulators are a good example for something we have too many people doing, but otherwise, this is great

I reverse engineered this, by thinking about what I would do if I was in the Pokemon world, since whatever economic system Pokemon has means that 10 year olds can support themselves with hobby income while traveling the world, and basically every adult makes their living through their special interest. So now I’m working towards becoming a wetland ecologist, and it’s led to uncovering tons of nostalgic memories from field trips and stuff in elementary school

Technically it’s in the upper atmosphere 🤓

Moreover, legitimate fascists and reactionaries are not the same as “well-meaning but misinformed” people

Yeah, this is the big point. If they’re “…[invalidating] your humanity, and the humanity of people you love,” they are just abusing your patience, and don’t deserve it. Fuck those people.

Every game borrows from other games’ ideas and mechanics

It’s not only games, this is just straight-up how art works. Culture develops over time. Of course capitalism had to get a middleman in there lol

This sounds a lot like problems my fiance and I have had. She’s diagnosed, I’m still working on that. She also has OCD. She gets stressed very easily when preparing for a trip, and used to get worse and worse approaching her strict departure time, which has caused some conflict between us, as I am habitually late to things.

We’ve been able to work it out, by just having a conversation about how we get ready. Now I try harder to hit her target time, and she allows a little wiggle room. It’s taken a lot of stress off of us both, making the whole process easier. It’s still a chaotic mess, but at least we’re not fighting about it anymore lol

I prefer sweetening separately, because it allows you to control the sweetness more

Always sweeten to taste! Dry Curaçao is still pretty sweet, so go cautiously

What you really want though, is Dry Curaçao, which is not clear, but is significantly higher quality

Turns out you have to make a good game too. Who would have guessed?

We better not run out of whales then
