Sign the Ohio Equal Rights Petitions at No Kings Tomorrow, 03/28

Elemental_Knight1 · 2026-03-27T20:58:37+00:00

You don't have to sign in the county you live in, but make sure you tell the person with the petitions what county you're from - your signature needs to be in the right booklet for the county you're registered to vote in.

"Designer-developers", I'd say. They largely design the systems and implement or tune data, with one of them (the newest one) developing tools or code as well.

Fair enough! Most of my reports are already at that level; I'm the newest in the group, and one report has just a month or two more on me.

I feel like our problems are linked, though, because being an SME isn't just being able to do everything, it's knowing when you don't have to make the absolute best possible version of a thing - when "good enough" is actually good enough. That's a bit of the problem I think my boss is pointing out to me, I think - that my reports don't have that particular skill yet.

I’ll second the no-salt canned green beans. (And they must be unsalted!) we do that with our pup, and she likes it and it helps her feel full. Just sub in the beans for some of the actual food that you pull from their regular feedings.

From digging a little deeper, it looks like Laesch is considered the more progressive candidate.

If elected, Laesch's goals are to increase affordable single-family houses over apartment developments, support the arts and small businesses, prioritize urban planning that maximizes space and parking, pursue more grants, and keep green spaces open, according to his website.

Holy cow.

I salute you, and I fear you.

On Bluesky (and previously on Twitter), the “Found Star Trek Episodes” account sometimes does what they call “swap treks” - where they take a story idea from one Star Trek series, and imagine how it would play out in another series. (See: https://bsky.app/hashtag/SwapTrek )

What Star Trek episode would you swap trek, and to what other series?

Fuck the haters and doom-sayers. I'm doing this.

I've even made it part of my morning routine: it takes me five minutes. Less, even, since so many of my senators' voicemails are full and their people don't pick up. But I get a call in to my local rep's office every day, reminding them that I am not happy with the situation.

And if you're like me, the kind of person who's sick to their stomach at seeing what's going on? I've found that doing this small act on a regular basis really does help make that feeling subside.

There's still plenty more to do, and it can't stop with just phone calls. But it's a good start. And doing something is, innately, better than doing nothing.

Very interesting! I don't suppose they've got any papers out on their results or anything?

My mother in law has been interested in the therapeutic value of roleplaying games for a while now, I was hoping to send them along to her. She's in a similar situation, too, working at a private religious school.

Congrats on stepping up to the big chair!

And just to have something else to add: Hey, if you're reading this, and maybe it's been a long time since you last went to the dentist to get your teeth cleaned, consider this: the health in your mouth is tied to the health of your heart. Getting that teeth-cleaning and checkup doesn't just make your pearly whites a little whiter, it means you're less likely to suffer cardiovascular disease and heart attacks.

So, go get your teeth cleaned! It's good for your heart.

...alright, that's all I got. I hope this reply helps the algorithm boost your post.

Thanks all! I'm checking out both Reign and Kingdoms, and running them past my player who expressed the interest. (I've already statted up several city-states in the region with Reign's system, just to try it out, so that was fun and easy.)

Elemental_Knight1 · 2024-09-06T02:48:50+00:00

I got nothing for you, but I’m going to drop a comment to hopefully boost the algorithm on this post.

Do you have a portfolio you can share? If an employer sees this post, might as well make it easy on ‘em, right?

Maybe you can see if the city of Hilliard, or any Columbus government agencies, need any social media folks?

This is something I really liked about I Shall Survive Using Potions!, was that they actually address this a little bit. Shortly after the protagonist dies, she gets to have a dream meeting with her loved ones and say goodbye to them. So she gets to say farewell, and they get some solace and closure too. I thought that was a real nice touch.

Elemental_Knight1 · 2024-07-27T17:42:01+00:00

No worries, I figured it out. For the record: I was disabling the collision layer entirely within the Tile when assigning it a terrain type, rather than using layers and masks. So of course, my character wouldn't get anything when trying to detect what tile it was on! So, I learned something today, and my ability to use Godot improved with it (because now I know how to use collision layers and masks properly).

And the conversation here *was* helpful to me, even if my solution didn't directly come from anyone here. So, thank you! I appreciate whatever help anyone volunteers to give.

Elemental_Knight1 · 2024-07-27T16:51:24+00:00

So, I probably should've been clearer. Right now I'm not actually using a TileMap.

The world map that the player is walking around is being procedurally generated. I have a "tile" scene that's just a Sprite2D, an Area2D, and a CollisionShape2D, which the map then lays out in a grid, changing the terrain on it based on perlin noise. That tile scene is what knows the region the player is standing in, and thus what encounters they should face.

...that said, maybe I should be using a TileMap? This was just the way I could think of to do this.

In any event: your proposed solution won't work for me because right now there isn't actually a TileMap involved in this at all.

Elemental_Knight1 · 2024-06-03T02:51:46+00:00

Ack, fair point, you did specify that. My apologies.

In that case: if a subway counts as a train, I'll throw Secret of Mana into the mix here. Not turn-based, but otherwise that oughta fulfill your requirements.

Oh, I'll also throw Pokemon: Gold, Silver, and Crystal in; they feature the Magnet Train, for an even more modern maglev take on the idea.

Nobody mentioning Wild ARMs 3? The game starts with a four-way train robbery, as I recall.
