Her sister. They're close, and it would be devastating to her.

World of Warcraft. 12 years of playing and raid/guild leadership helped me learn how to play, not just play. How to:

  • Theorycraft
  • Research how to improve
  • Maximize output and/or efficiency
  • Take advantage of class synergies in games
  • Understand the importance of area of effect, burst damage, sustained single-target damage, etc.
  • Understand damage mitigation vs avoidance, and where each is valuable
  • Play to my/my team's strengths, rather than simply doing what is "best"
  • Better recognize trends in game mechanics to anticipate what may come
  • Recognize the valuable portions of a game's user interface and maximize its visibility while avoiding clutter

I had learned portions of these things in other games, but my leadership role in WoW pushed me to truly understand many things that aren't a major focus in most games.

Hmm, yeah, it's probably more the restricting aspect.

Well that's different. As a guy, I can't stand tight things on my legs, and I don't think it's just due to different equipment.

Seriously though, is there any reason to disallow colored pencils in a pencil sharpener? I can't think of any problem they might cause.

Because everyone means "alphabetize" when sorting numbers.

I guess if they've got clear criteria for their ratings... Nope, those subs are fucking weird.

Ah yes, the political issue of education and racism.

Does anyone younger than a boomer even care about hair color? I'm 37 and while pink hair might stand out to me, that's only because of the rules written by those with sticks up their backsides, half a century ago. Ultimately, I don't give a damn.

I'm on vacation, so I've returned to my default Steam Deck game: Wildermyth. I love its storytelling, particularly with carrying characters over from one campaign to another. I've grown particularly attached to the warrior from my first campaign, now fully fire-transformed. However, he's moved on from his first love, who is now far too crow-like.

Wow, what shitheads.

If you can't pronounce it, it hasn't been given a common name. Few things are easily pronounced when reduced to chemical names.
