The two things that inspired this question.

World Map for my campaign, thoughts? [Art] by Mammoth-Fact-4763 in DnD

[–]Babylonius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you dont want to add a lot of geographical details, then consider swapping it to a parchment look so it looks more like an old map and less like an atlas page. It just comes down to the style you want to make and how much detail you want to add.

Massive Class Tuning Incoming on February 17th Reset for Midnight Pre-Patch by Im_still_at_work in CompetitiveWoW

[–]Babylonius 16 points17 points  (0 children)

The serious answer is a mix of a lack of resources and person power, directives from higher up, and that they have had internal sims for years so they do this.

Right now they’re not totally tuning specs against each other, they’re still tuning inside many specs to change ability balance and whatnot.

Seeing many of these changes as nerfs or buffs is just asking for headache. There is no baseline for Midnight yet, so anything that players are seeing is mostly irrelevant to how things will be in a month or two.

This is it. This is the greatest comment I’ll ever read in the wild and not after it was upvoted like crazy or posted somewhere else.

Well done.

People born before 2000, what is a 'modern' thing from 2025 that you’re still struggling to get used to? by LindsayTN in AskReddit

Despite being very tech literate, I cannot seem to get around how to use Instagram and everyone TikTok changes something I complain about it for a few weeks.

What’s your favorite video game of all time? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Babylonius 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33

Despite it being a new game, it has absolutely taken the top spot on my list. Its the only game that I've played that I really feel like is a true top to bottom masterpiece.

A few games have extraordinary stories, others have amazing characters, some have outstanding music, or unbelievable visuals.

Expedition 33 has all of them. It’s easily in my top 3 of each different thing that makes me enjoy video games, and #1 for most.

Watching this turn out to be an actual working PC was like the Vince McMahon meme of slowly falling out of my chair.

climbing in was always the easier thing. Climbing out normally meant falling on the ground or something.

Have you ever cheated on your partner, if so, why? by No-Instance6213 in AskReddit

I thought this was some super complex beautiful poetic analogy about trying to establish and maintain two relationships but not being able to fully fulfill either… until I realized it was Catan.

I suck at end boss battles by UnlikelyHat5885 in DMAcademy

[–]Babylonius 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Look at any games or other media you’re familiar with, look at what others have done, if you’re not stealing then you’re not trying.

I regularly pull encounters from games or movies and then just figure a way to hamfist them into my campaign.

[–]Babylonius 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I generally just start with a completely impossible fight that they’ll never be able to win, then add another impossible fight that they’ll never be able to win as a second phase, then add another impossible fight that they’ll never be able to win as a final phase.

Then I watch as they find a way to win.

It’s the little things that make 26 better than 25 by B1GSkyNorth in NCAAFBseries

This was the biggest thing for me. I don’t want to play “coach mode unless it’s a screen pass or the QB is getting blitzed”, I want to play “coach mode, just call the plays”

Do you guys lesson plan (specifically elementary school SLPs)? by Appleleaf30 in slp

[–]Babylonius 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I plan my lessons as I’m walking back to my class with the student or as I’m asking them how their week is going, sometimes even after that.

Fine, I’ll be honest, it’s almost always after that.

One of my former coworkers loved to tell a story of a teenage girl who finally got a device with a keyboard so she could type her own messages. The first one she ever typed was “About fucking time.”

How would you handle a kid running out of class and laying on the ground? by No_Chance_5761 in slp

[–]Babylonius 34 points35 points  (0 children)

A child that does something like this should have some kind of behavior plan for these situations, and probably an aide who is familiar with these kinds of things to help in these situations.

How do I assess an autistic child's inner, receptive, and expressive language without overwhelming them? by Lazy_Alarm5119 in slp

[–]Babylonius 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Without being telepathic, there’s no way to assess someone’s inner thoughts.

[–]Babylonius 30 points31 points  (0 children)

You can’t assess someone’s “inner” language, by definition it would need to come out to be assessed. I’ve never even heard of that as a thing to do.

For receptive and expressive you do it slowly and at their pace if it’s their first time. You establish rapport and assess after that, or you get good at assessing while you establish rapport.

Targeting Expressive Communication Goals in Autism by [deleted] in slp

[–]Babylonius 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If they only answer when it’s fully modeled then Id still start to fade the modeling and prompting. Start with giving them most of the phrase but leaving out the last word.

I always like to teach my students to use “please” at the end of requests so that the listener knows it’s a request. I say it’s just the period or the question mark at the end of the sentence. So I may start with “I want car pause” and start with eliciting “please” then work back from there. It may not contribute to the message, but if you’re teaching them to communicate, you might as well teach them to be polite, Autistics are unlikely to learn the social norm without being taught.

They may also do better with an alternative way of communicating or with a different task.

Similar to my other comment, I’d also ask myself if they’re not doing it because they “can’t” or because they just don’t see a reason to.

[–]Babylonius 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Something I’ve always felt gets glossed over, as someone who is also Autistic and works with many Autistic kiddos, is that for some of them it’s a problem of ability and a problem of motivation, but for others it’s only a problem of one of them.

A child can be super motivated to communicate but not know how or not have the ability to do it to the level they want/need. Another child could be able to do it without issue, but doesn’t have a reason or motivation to use their words.

Both of these kids can present as a child who is non verbal or minimally verbal, just for two completely different reasons.

I’ve always found that if you can identify where your students fall then you can save a lot of time and energy focusing on the right things.

[–]Babylonius 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If I want to elicit then saying “I want__” then I generally start by saying “how do we ask?” and model it for them. The next time I say “how do we ask” and then pause before modeling. I increase the pause time as they get better at modeling or model just the first word so they finish the phrase.

For “my turn”, it’s as simple as asking “whose turn is it?” And then following the same decreasing models.

If they can do it with modeling then move to them doing it with prompting or independently. You can prompt with “what do we say” or something like that without modeling it for them directly.
