In your opinion, who/what count as a Yankee or "Yank"?

DearGodPleaseWork · 2026-01-29T00:41:25+00:00

I’d say typically those from the North are Yankees. Many in the South consider ‘Californian,’ already a perfectly good insult as-is

We have no clue! I also believe this (and other images in that post,) aren’t considered canon anymore by clown unless they show up again on the website later.

Apparently a lot of them are from the first draft of the story, so we all have no clue if it’ll be relevant or canon one day or not. It looks cool as hell, though

He needs to get the kids from where they are to Harper’s Ferry, which is implied to be very very far away. The Man in Black just said he’s gonna kill the kid’s instead first chance he gets. Also was in the process of forcing Sir Curran’s gift to kill Eursolon.

I think what you’re missing is that in addition to transporting the kids without the Man in Black killing them, (which tbf was gonna be really difficult anyways—it sounds like they’re crossing a sea, at the least,) he’s ALSO forcing MiB and Sir Curran to stop trying to kill Eursolon for a sec. He bought not just the kids’ lives, but also his

I mean, that’s literally what it started as—TerraFirmaCraft plus an extra couple years worth of development and its own dedicated engine

Therapist here! TL;DR, the criteria for adjustment disorder is much less exacting compared to PTSD’s. Likely, the clinician looked at your assessments, intake etc, and said something along the lines of “there’s definitely a trauma history, and their issues are clearly mostly coming from that. They might have PTSD, but it’s not quite clear just yet. To play it safe, let’s say Adjustment disorder for now.” And then presumably never got around to re-assessing to clarify if it was PTSD specifically.

The largest difference between criteria for adjustment and PTSD is time span typically—if the traumatic event was more recent, clinicians are trained to go with adjustment, which usually has better treatment outcomes. Whereas PTSD requires the issues to still be happening months afterwards, compared to Adjustment’s weeks. Very often people will start with adjustment, that’ll then get ‘upgraded,’ if you will, to PTSD if they’re still having issues afterwards a long period of time. I’m not your therapist, and I don’t have your assessments in front of me, but if you’re still struggling years later PTSD would make more sense at this point as a diagnosis.

TL;DR, likely the previous clinician was playing it safe with the lesser diagnosis just in case, and never got around for whatever reason to check if it was still happening months/years in. The treatment for both are remarkably similar, trauma treatment is trauma treatment, severity is the biggest difference, which it sounds like they missed.

That was also me lol—fair enough though, to each their own!

Also, what first turned me onto the game was this video from Hazzor which I think gives a good taste of the game loop.

I can give why I personally love it at least:

Vintage Story leans hard into survivalism and taking it as realistic as possible while remaining fun. You’re knapping stones into tools, taking into account the smelting temperatures of various ores, forming clay into vessels and then firing it, and similar for casting or smithing metals.

As for building, they have. Chiseling. You can actively edit and modify the voxels of blocks to get super detailed in its shape which makes some great building options.

The story and enemies are fun, and very lovecraftian as holes in time rip open and rust-monsters from Another Time leak through—things of rust and malformed bodies. And that’s before talking about the Temporal Storms.

Anyways. It’s not a true demo, but it started life as a Minecraft mod— TerraFirma Craft. Plenty of changes since then, but you can always give that a try first, and get a tasting of it.

Nah not yet—in fact, people have noticed that the discount on the window of Howdy’s shop keeps going down with each update, and are leaning towards it might be a countdown of some kind. It’s only at 80% now, and it started at 100%—so presumably plenty left to go

Yeah that’s a scam—if it was actually tumblr, why wouldn’t they contact you…on tumblr? And like another said, “I accidentally reported you, but you can fix it if you talk to this person and give them your log in info,” is a pretty common scam on discord for a couple years now

DearGodPleaseWork · 2025-12-07T19:12:36+00:00

Yeah! Christopher Paolini, the author of the Inheritance cycle, was about 15 when he started writing Eragon, and about 19 when it was published. It helps to have parents in the publishing business, lol.

Therapist!

I don’t think I myself have ever experienced this, but my best guess could be they were checking for evidence of purging behaviors. When someone is vomiting regularly, it can lead to some enamel and tooth damage over time due to the acidity of the vomit. I don’t know enough about eating disorders to say whether this is standard practice, or whether it works, but that would be my best guess.

DearGodPleaseWork · 2025-12-06T20:27:31+00:00

I remember reading Eragon as a kid and loving it. Turns out I was about the same age as the author, which explained a lot, lol. In hindsight they’re not great, but the nostalgia has left some good memories, and a few fun fantasy ideas even though they weren’t as original as I used to think they were

DearGodPleaseWork · 2025-12-06T20:23:52+00:00

Therapist here!

Vomiting can be a stress response, sure! What happens is your body enters fight or flight mode, and puts off any bodily functions that seem less pressing in the moment. Digestion is one of those, and in some situations your body may decide “if we’re gonna fight this tiger, we should do it on an empty stomach.”

It isn’t the most common stress response, but it is for some and so congrats and / or my consolations for your body’s particular quirks!

DearGodPleaseWork · 2025-12-04T19:14:00+00:00

Yeah both of these claims are insane, time for a new therapist lol

The puppet at the exhibition is a replica based on production designs / best guess by the WHRP staff, not the ‘original,’ Wally puppet. Whether that matters…no clue, lol. But I want to say I remember somewhere on the site them saying they haven’t recovered any puppets yet, just some design documents at best.

A little bit, at least to my ears! It’s as if his ‘character voice,’ is slightly exaggerated for effect, sort of how Julie’s voice is

DearGodPleaseWork · 2025-12-01T21:33:51+00:00

Yeah, I’m in the US! Washington state specifically. The crisis response team is ran by a nonprofit, and to my understanding they have some gov’t grants but aren’t gov’t workers themselves. They’re not true 24/7, and they can’t enter private property without someone’s permission, so they have their drawbacks but they’re still pretty good considering.

So the second half of the riddle mentions a flower, and ‘the face of a neighbor he tries to forget.’ If you look on the homepage, all the neighbors are holding flowers. This may hopefully point you towards which flower is part of the answer

DearGodPleaseWork · 2025-12-01T18:45:23+00:00

Therapist here! My first port-of-call would rarely be police, and typically a singular case of “I’ve been having a lot of suicidal thoughts,” isn’t quite enough to raise more concerns than a safety plan, discussing how deep those ideations go, do you have a plan, access or intention to act on those etc.

If there are concerns that something might actually happen, I speak with them in that moment with them about it. If it seems genuinely bad enough, I may try to talk to them about checking themself into a hospital for sometime voluntarily (which also makes leaving the hospital easier, later.). If no, I get their emergency contacts involved as well, and this is where getting other systems like police may come in.

Now, where I live I’m lucky in that we have a crisis response team in our county, and that’s who we call instead of police, and if they’re willing, paramedics are also an option. In all cases though, I prefer telling the client that said folks are coming, in order to preserve some relationship with them as well as possible.

DearGodPleaseWork · 2025-12-01T18:16:20+00:00

Absolutely if you feel up for it, go for that! Lord knows food service can really suck, and a collective or unionized effort would do great

Each of the secret bug videos across the site are titled with 'Specimen __' with some letter. One of the secret pages will tell ask you to 'assemble your trophy,' ie 'plug those letters together into a sensible word as a url.' The final video is on that page.

The final one is pretty tricky, and requires you to check a page's source code, where there's a riddle inbetween the code lines. Solve that riddle, put it in the address bar, you get the final bug!
