You are older than me, I suppose. I was playing it at 11 years old or so. My first CRPG, although my dad had run a D&D game for the family a few years prior so I had a reference point.

I remember my cousin telling us about the Creeping Coins and my imagination went wild, assuming you could loot them and they’d attack you later from your inventory.

Nope. Just normal randomly spawning encounter.

I did that and my wife got annoyed… then started wearing my socks. Now we buy more and just use athletic socks

She’s still got her colorful, playful ones that are a pain in the ass to match up.

Thank you, that was a long standing problem for me, and it got a lot easier to just put myself out there and see what would happen. Not just romantically but socially in general.

It served me well.

Click on all the squares that contain YOU.

While tripping on a large dose of LSD, I decided to practice with my new and incredibly sharp wood chisels on a block of pine.

Amazingly I didn’t cut myself at all.

My friend found a stop motion animated clay Don Quixote, where the clay work was rough and you could see thumbprints. It was the perfect vibe for tripping and carving, the gouges I was making in the wood looked like the clay, and bit by bit I made that block into a volcano.

In order to do that I kept twisting my right arm (I’m left handed) clockwise, and when I came down from the hallucinogens, the nerves in my arm went dead. Hand just slid off the keyboard.

It was fine twenty minutes later. And that’s my story, the best acid trip I ever had. Worked through my obsessions a bit and let go of them.

In the following weeks I asked three women out and got shot down each time instead of thinking about doing so for a month and being a creep.

I can see why he’s stealing votes from Trump.

I wonder if this tricking back to Biden’s desk is what finally made him pause an ammo shipment.

I’m not agreeing with him at all but that’s a strange jump to take.

I’d say that secondary sexual characteristics in women tend to involve body fat. Being in extremely good shape does affect that a little bit - breasts, hips, face, ass, - and some would see that as looking more masculine where I’d say they’re just extremely fit.

Somehow roundness and softness is ‘feminine.’

That isn’t the type of behavior that I think most find annoying but I’m sorry that you get that reaction at all.

I think many people are so annoyed with feeling they are attacked for eating meat (and I do eat meat) that when that button gets pressed the anger just rises up.

For me I get a little true guilt. I know I’m not helping in the best possible ways that I can, all the time. I’m not perfect and won’t ever pretend that I am, and I also haven’t given up on getting better. When I go a day without eating meat, I congratulate myself. With a burger. (No, not really.)

They don’t like rich lawyers. Few do.

But we do want lawyers skilled enough to be able to hurt major corporations, and then expect them to work cheap.

It’s not all that hard to understand when you’re downtrodden. But it is a bit counterproductive in my opinion. (That aimed at the original commenter, not at you, though I am sympathetic to both viewpoints.)

And the need to hide under your desk in school even though it won’t protect you.

I just don’t like to advertise. If I can promote a solution that doesn’t advance a particular oligarchy, that’s my preference.

But when the tool works, I admit it.

I hate to say it but Pandora has been useful here, when it actually finds similar sounding bands rather than just bands from the same era.

I found Tape Five by spinning out from Postmodern Jukebox, for one example.

Get to know the people you work with and learn who you can bounce ideas off of.

Once you have a couple of work friends you can more easily figure out what those around you think of you.

I was in school while working (in my 40s no less) and as part of my classes I was asked to poll my coworkers about my strengths and weaknesses.

I learned that I was liked, valued, and that it was noticed when I was out sick, which was often.

It really helped me as I just assumed nobody really noticed me at all.

Chances are that you are the one judging yourself.

Also, be the one who speaks up in meetings. It helps give others permission to speak up as well.

It’s a philosophical movie about breaking yourself apart and rebuilding yourself consciously.

Not hard to understand why so many people don’t get that part of it. It’s a deeply introspective movie, not just about sweaty guys fighting each other.

They were natural stone formations carved and excavated, long long ago. Then parts collapsed so they’re called tombs.

Just a coincidence that several of them contain kings. Can’t really explain that part.

Maybe when you call something like a tomb, treasure starts to spawn there randomly.

No, they sued for profits from the book.

Burnout, stress, depression, overwhelmed, any number of things could be going on.

Talk to your professors and an advisor, see what resources they have for you.

But also understand this says NOTHING bad about you, and in fact recognizing you are struggling and need help is a good sign.

The line is clearly at 50%.

Half live in harmony, half die.

Perfectly balanced, as all things should be.

Well shit, I’m in Minnesota, it’s everywhere, most people I know have had it… and we are the ‘best’ state in the graph.
