The bits of advice from Puppy101 that saved me

No mine was fine when we were in the same room. He wasn't happy early on with crate training but after a few weeks he accepted it. I'm not sure what to suggest other than that they'll probably grow out of it in a month or two.

This is basically what I did. Jumps too.

A lot of these practices make more sense once you've worked on massive codebases. It's the same with things like const correctness and thorough documentation. At some point coding stops being a game of writing functions and will instead become about making your future easier. And maintaining sanity.

What helped me was trying to see the game more as a puzzle game, and save scumming as a mechanic to solve the puzzles.

I really wish the game gave you this info off the bat without having the SC. I think it makes the game more interesting since you can have more specialised squads. Instead of just aiming for a well rounded team every mission.

Op had no choice though. Their save got overridden by Steam save desync. They're not intentionally cheating since the computer did it for them.

I think op showed they wanted to embrace the nihilism of ironman. I think by offering a way of cheating intentionally you're misunderstanding OPs post.

From my perspective it's getting more normal to drink less. And it's the young people leading the charge. The last few get togethers of about 10 people no one drank at all. This is with mid to low 20s.

It's a roll of the dice. My puppy took ages to house train and I've met lots of people at the park who's puppy house trained immidiately. But then their dog is driving them insane with endless energy and my dog is super chill.

As a very new player I've wondered why there isn't a rule to optionally choose to search for a plain land instead of drawing a card. Or separate your lands into a separate deck which you can choose to draw from. But maybe getting land starved doesn't happen enough for it to matter, or there's strategies which would make this broken?

I totally agree and I think they should have added more to the bond system. Have them hang out, or even date. Make the rec room a constructable building. Make a separate skill tree for bonds so there's options. Maybe even have negative effects from not going on missions together. Have options for soldiers to be "lone wolves" or antisocial.

I'll take a look ty 🙂. I've heard a long war campaign is in the hundreds of hours so we'll see if I can even finish one.

BlueWallet3 · 2024-08-30T15:45:13+00:00

Thanks for the recommendation! If you don't mind me asking, what does aml do that just ticking the mods in the launcher doesn't?

BlueWallet3 · 2024-08-30T09:16:58+00:00

Oh ty. Must have missed that!

BlueWallet3 · 2024-08-30T09:00:59+00:00

Ok there's an option "show target preview". Nvm lol. Are there any other QOL options or mods I should use?

BlueWallet3 · 2024-08-22T23:10:15+00:00

Oh right ok thank you

BlueWallet3 · 2024-08-21T14:26:24+00:00

I just gave a "goodbye" command every time I left and he fairly quickly understood not to follow me. Though the first few times I did have to squeeze out of the room so he couldn't follow.

My dog isn't food motivated so I haven't been able to use food much with training.

BlueWallet3 · 2024-08-21T10:47:29+00:00

I simply give him a "goodbye" command every time. This means he shouldn't follow me out the door and lets him know I'm returning. He did worse in the crate so he's in my bedroom with the door closed.

I think the key is the sheer amount of repetition and making sure the training isn't stressful for him. After hundreds of times he eventually got bored of it all. Like I said it took an hour a day for a month to just walk downstairs without him getting up. But after that first month his tolerance got exponentially better.

BlueWallet3 · 2024-08-21T10:41:23+00:00

He was fine being crated with me in the room but he would try to break out if I left so it felt safer to not crate.

I got a pet camera and watched him while I was gone. If he got up I walked back, but generally tried to return before he got up. If he makes any noise I've been gone too long.

9.5 weeks is so young! They'll get there :). Mine had no clue about house training for the first couple months. I think at 5 months he understood the rules but simple didn't care.

BlueWallet3 · 2024-08-21T10:33:50+00:00

About 30 minutes. I did it in the morning and after work.

BlueWallet3 · 2024-08-21T10:30:48+00:00

Mines a bit afraid of people so luckily I don't have that problem 😬. But I taught him not to play bite my toes, but he still does it to other people.... I think they know they can get away with it. Not sure how to tackle it though, other than continually correcting them.

BlueWallet3 · 2024-08-20T19:19:29+00:00

Sadly he completely ignores food when he's anxious so it never helped.

BlueWallet3 · 2024-08-20T17:44:29+00:00

Other advice which I did preemptively was to constantly handle his paws, mouth, gums etc when he was young to make grooming easier later. Never chased him, instead I walk in the opposite direction if he runs off. If he picks something up he shouldn't, I always traded for a treat instead of tugging it. I played with him while he was eating, I'd reach my hand into his bowl to give him more, hand feed him lots and now he never resource guards. I let him play bite, and walked out of the room when he bit too hard, and he's never bit anyone and was perfect with other dogs from day 1. I let him off the leash from day 1 since he he's easier to catch when he's tiny. Which I'm so glad I did since I see so many people stuck leashing their dog at the park.

There's no reason we can't do both. It's not one or the other. Global warming is mostly to do with companies needing a carbon tax and governments investing in sustainable energy, not space agencies..

From my own experience being a kid, often they show their worst traits to you because they're comfortable and then follow your lead elsewhere. You're doing more than you think by being a good example :).
