It feels like I ended up doing a lot of writing last night. In reality the notebook pages I filled in double-space probably don't fill near as much typed page, but the hand I was holding the pen with was really dead by the end of the session.
>>352966 A scene from a story I've been letting gestate for a while now.
>>352967 For another English speaker I'd say my handwriting is 90% legible. I generally find people can understand my handwriting without much issue.
>>352976 They want me to be there at 8:00! It's a little bit different commute than normal too, and I need to stop by work before I go to make sure some things are squared away since I won't be able to work tomorrow.
Yeah, I've heard that before, hah hah. I never learned "handwriting" in the sense of learning how to write fast and connecting lettering to maximize writing speed. Instead I kind of went all out the other way, getting excessively neat but somewhat speed-inefficient writing.
I don't think my handwriting has changed at all in 20 years or shit. No matter how much my elementary teachers tried to hammer the "magpie feet" out of me.
FormerRei@mobile
Mine has gotten worse Except for my math handwriting, some of it has gotten worse and other parts have gotten better

When I go stretches of time without doing much writing my writing loses a good bit of its consistency. I think it keeps being mostly legible though.

Speaking of slaneesh that also could be something in ton's campaign I mean, the particular hermaphrodite chaos god of sex, pleasure and pain was BONED into existence by space elves murder fucked to be precise. They murdered and fucked each other so much, that their desires explosively gave birth to a new god.
Rest of the chaos gods just over time popped up, from people blaming supernatural forces for wars, bad luck and disease and so on but that one murder fucked by space elves Who then also fucked up the galaxy so bad, that thei entire 50 million year old empire also fell and also created a physical manifestation of the hell space where the chaos gods live known as the EYe of Terror
FormerRei@mobile
Don't forget Doomrider

my intention was to have a serious campaign but i guess we can do the cock virus mini campaign >>353050 penises arent established as an epidemic in the next campaign setting though dick virus can be an alternate universe where Asmodeus killed my pcs
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
it can be serious yet hilarious
Kirara 🦃
dick virus would be ideal in a space-faring adventure imo
also ton you should actually look into the warhammer lore on chaos and immaterium it is quite usable in any setting
ToN
maybe ill look into that
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
is kinda fun in short, whatever people believe in, manifests in the immaterium and the natural denizens of immaterium eat those belief energy and then become molded by them so for example, if people believe in santa claus a chaos god of giving our presents and joy is born but if people start to believe that santa also eats bad kids then santa chaso god will start eating kids too
Though originally it was just realm of souls for the deceased, but then you had a giant conflict between god like ascended lizard people and metallic robot armies with no souls and their cthulhu-like masters
ToN
oh shit kirara if its for asci fi we can play a game of lasers and feelings instead of 13th age
TN !PcAPtAiNJo
which fucked things up as about gigazillion of people died in the process and as the immaterium reflects the physical world it permanently started to reflect the violence of said war that spanned for millenia if not milions of years
FormerRei@mobile
Necrons aren't actually soulless though. I think, they fuck around with the lore too much for me to ever be sure.
anyhow the necrons, aforementioned robot army kinda got cheated by their lovecraftian allies later masters so when the war was over, they went "okay time to blast these fuckers into bits" and promtply did so and then imprisoned them into tiny quantum labyrinths for hopefully ever. and then looked at the state of the galaxy and went "okay space elves, rampaging demon hordes, and a lot of other nope stuff. Might as well go sleep for couple million years and see if the galaxy is more hospitable then" i mean, them being completely immortal what is a few million power nap to them? and so they did and then the space elves took over, got bored and boned a chaos god into existence

Biking is a decent alternative to running if you like keeping your feet off the ground too.

I probably can roller blade and stuff but I never ice skated. >skateboard I'LL SHOW YOU MY SICK WHEELIE

Ice skating is easy. Just balance on the edges and push yourself off something. The natural lack of friction will keep you going.
Kirara 🦃
just push yourself off the edge of eternity

>>353241 Well let me know if you find an attack mod in level 1. I would be interested in that. I kinda want to change my team roles around a little bit.
>>353243 I think that stuff will unlock as the game progresses. I had a perfect playthrough of stage 1 and didn't get to stage 2, so I assumt it unlocks later.

i guess stopping when i'm bored and mad at the game is as good a time as any i'll have to go back to playing it in a few days when i have time again if i can build up the motivation for it
FormerRei@mobile
Thicc Elf got licensed and comes out next October. The adapted title is "Plus-sized Elf" Honestly that's o e of the better official title translations/localizations I've seen recently. Thicc Elf would however be a better localized title.
>>353249 Your lack of an attacker is really getting you down, huh?
Maria
>>353249 It's the game being kind enough to give you space to go make a coffee and read the newspaper
Kirara 🦃
>>353254 i got her back but then I got thrown into a 20 minute battle and i just don't think the game's combat is remotely interesting enough for me to deal with that
I don't understand the game very well and I am not as far as you, but I think I am doing a lot of damage. The chips seem to be multiplicative or something because I just dumped them into Rex's girlfriend and he's doing a lot of damage. He does so much damage that if I play as him, the tank can't hold aggro.
Kirara 🦃
yeah it's easy and quick battle until you get a damage sponge boss or pair of bosses
Kirara 🦃
i will have to grind for a few hours in a few days when i can play again
Anno
>>353216 Yeah, nothing really happened other than a real airhead moment , where I was like >Who's this fuckin idiot overtaking in such a small gap >oh wait maybe I'm the idiot
I have the problem of being really lost though. I have a terrible sense of direction.
Anno
I haven't slept so that probably contributes to it
Anno
>>353261 Actually that reminds me, last time I did this trip, I ended up an hour or so off route, towards Yass, because my GPS was set to point North not the direction of the car
I figured this would be the kind of game I can't stand when I saw it. RPGs always look so nice but end up slogging
Anno
Yeah, that's been in the back of my head since I saw the first gameplay trailer for the game. I've played enough JRPGs like this to know they walk a fine line between being rewarding enough to get through the sloggy parts and not.
I want a JRPG without sloggy parts. Give me more of Radiant Historia You could tell exactly who the bad guy is from the start of the game and it was still great. PERFECT CHRONOLOGY SOON
Maria
>>353266 I really liked that games combat system With all the positioning shenanagins
Anno
These cinnamon raisin bagels we've got are supposed to be handmade and not like the mass-produced ones you can get in your grocer's bakery section. And they're supposed to be better or something in some way? But really they just barely taste of cinnamon or raisins and more of just faintly sweet, chewy dough.
>>353267 There's no reason why I should but I really enjoy hearing people like Radiant Historia's combat. Because I wanted to make a game like it a long time ago with a similar system. And then RH came out and I was like holy crap, someone did it. And it was great. I was so happy that it was such a fun game. There's just so much in there that tugs my strings as far as gameplay is concerned. I don't even feel like they pushed it that hard. It was pretty simple but really solid.

Well, jury duty won't be bad. It will be less stressful than actually working since i won't have to do anything. I expect that I will not actually be placed on a jury so everything will be okay.

Now I finally realised what irked me about Stellaris now The fact that each 1 unit of pop demands a 1 unit of "consumer good" which strains your resources as you expand and needlesly balances you with a smaller empire of somewhat large resources, while you may have HUGE resources, but because of your HUGE population your both incomes, thus your refresh rate of ships is about the same. Btu however THOSE SHIPS SHOULD REQUIRE MANPOWER and landing armies should require MANPOWER and so on so basically large population is only detrimental, while usually it is a big bonus in all kinds of warfare as "there is more of where that came from" when you take big losses however, in the current stellaris large population is only a DRAIN not ab onus they basically should either toss away the shitty consumer good system, whic hwas imo complete bullcrap and should have never been made or add a manpower system to the fleets and armies you construct A large empire is always a large empire and a larger empire always beats the smaller one, if there are no logistical limits or such to the invasion.

so i just finished a talk with this girl and id like to bring this up with her now, but i dont wanna be possibly starting arguments over text so im gonna do it on /moe/ instead
so im all like "how am i gonna make enough money to keep you around" and shes like "oh well just use really thoughtful gifts" but just 5 minutes prior, shes telling me about how the most appreciated gift she got from a guy, which made her cry and everything, was just straight up $200 dollars cold hard cash
talking about gifts like that sounds really weird to me like it's obligatory or something
>>353743 Did you manage to finish your work day, then?
Anno
>>353747 When was that? Maybe money means less now.
Anno
>>353748 listen its weird only because i didnt provide context and i dont remember the context enough to confidently say it now without feeling like i might be telling you incorrect context
Anno
>>353749 mmmmmmm i dont know but given what i know about her ex, either 1 or 2 years ago
Maria
>>353747 Maybe she said that thing about thoughtful gifts to appear modest or polite Or maybe it's like, "the $200 gift was nice but I get that it's not really feasible" tbh asking questions like how you're gonna make enough money to keep someone around sounds weird to me
Anno
>>353751 Was money tight for her? Maybe she realizes now how bland a gift that is...
Anyway, "thoughtful gifts" is usually code for "I like nice things that cost money".
Anno
>>353753 i should have already said this, but it was after she had her phone stolen, and the $200 wasnt gonna cover the phone but it was enough for the down payment or whatever
Anno
>>353755 Yeah, so it sounds like that was the thought in that gift, you know?
Anno
>>353756 sure but i mean if it was just a $20 cell phone down payment
that already sounds really different to you and i
Maria
>>353755 That one soundslike it was the best gift because of its timing The guy swooped in when she was in a bad spot
Anno
anyways i was bringing up the 5 love languages
and now im kinda worrying because it seems like her highest is gifts and my lowest is gifts and my highest is physical touch and her lowest IM THINKING physicaly touch
which is the most stereotypical shit of men and women isnt it
Anno
>>353757 I'm with >>353758 I mean... The value is less the important part than what it was and when it was.
Anyway I think reliability and timing is what's key in this situation She was in a jam and he busted her out I think if you combine panic and loss with that sudden feeling of being saved, it's pretty powerful That's specific to that scenario though I don't know what I'm typing about now
Anno
>>353759 That kind of thing is why stereotypes exist
>>353764 Oh, I see. So you feel like there's some incompatibility in what things you value?
Maria
>>353767 Yeah sure I think the thing too about the fact that it was 200$ is that it showed that he's willing to commit something to her, that he's willing to make a sacrifice If he was a millionare, it would have meant a lot less It would have been like giving change for the bus
>>353772 There are people on this board right now who aren't planning on marrying a robot maid Just think about that Disgusting
>>353771 Are you worried that you won't be able to work through it?
Anno
>>353774 i am sure i will find a way to dive into the world and lifestyle of being a gift giving person
but im less sure of her willingness to be more physical she already doesnt like kissing on the lips, well no, its not that she doesnt enjoy it, but she avoids my kisses a lot and never open-mouth kisses me. Its all little pecks, and sparsely so
she says she has a story to tell me about why this is the case with her, but wants to wait to tell me so im sure she has a really good reasonable reason, and i am OF COURSE, a G E N T L E M A N,
but FUCK
Maria
>>353773 yeah but which is more valuable love or money Think about it like there's an exchange rate between money and love and one piece of love is worth more than one dollar You can't just like BUY love but you catch my drift

and we've reconnected and we've been talking for about a month now okay the first 3 weeks of that month span was rocky and i dont think/feel she was fully into it because of this outside reason that i dont want to share with the internet and we stopped talking again for like a month but now, that outside reason is much less of an issue now, so we've been reconnecting again this past week its a lot of shit but this past week has been magical

>>353815 I don't know yet. I'm assuming it's a male, though. I'm not sure how comfortable I would be taking a female client that's looking for a male clinician.
>>353821 Yeah, but I feel like there might be something more to it if it's like that. I don't want to be in a situation where a client might be into me or looking for validation specifically from a male.
Women that are only willing to talk to a male counselor are usually trouble.
Phobias other than social phobias are easy to fix because like 40% of all therapy research is dedicated to stuff like anxiety and there are really good techniques like exposure and virtual exposure that can go from a crippling phobia to comfort in 6-12 sessions.
In general, depression can range from easy to very hard to treat. Depression can be one of the easiest or one of the hardest. Social anxiety is frequently hard to treat because it is a little different than normal anxieties in tiny ways that make big differences, and we need more research on it.
Bipolar can be hard to treat especially considering manic states. Psychotic disorders are difficult, too

Maria
>>353828 The idea of exposure therapy really makes me laugh for some reason >we noticed you have a fear of spiders >so we're gonna lock you in a cage full of them until you get used to it
exposure starts with something simple, like let's think about spiders then you'd up it to maybe looking at a picture of a spider then looking at a spider in a glass container then maybe touching it then maybe bringing it home and having it in that container in their house
exposure is one where you slowly expose them to more threatening stimuli and let them acclimate to them
Kirara 🕎
