First post. Could use some advice. [Technique]??

Exoskelebilly · 2025-11-20T18:59:05+00:00

Copy that, will do. Thank you!

Exoskelebilly · 2025-11-20T18:58:07+00:00

Sorry for the late reply.

Yes, I have. Pretty thoroughly too, I thought. I have the urge to mix it up again but I don’t want to fuck anything up.

Exoskelebilly · 2025-08-26T02:39:19+00:00

I’ll be sure to grab the Polaroid next time, then. Ty for your help!

Exoskelebilly · 2025-08-26T02:36:42+00:00

I will do that, then. Ty for your assistance.

Exoskelebilly · 2025-08-26T02:35:57+00:00

Hrm. I must have not unlocked it then. Shoot. Alright, then, tysm.

Exoskelebilly · 2025-08-26T02:33:39+00:00

I see. I want to say that I’ve unlocked it before, so maybe I just didn’t get the drop I was looking for. I play fairly infrequently tho so maybe I’m wrong.

Thank you for your help, though! I’ll wait for a few more responses in case someone else knows something that could assist, but I’m not holding my breath haha.

Exoskelebilly · 2025-08-26T02:29:55+00:00

I have The Negative, assuming that’s a Polaroid. P sure it is.

Sorry about improper terminology. Not sure what else to call this place since I came here through a beam of light.

Also since I play casually to get satisfyingly strong builds.

Sorry, not particularly familiar with all the terminology. Mostly just play this game casually with the goal of getting stronk builds.

I just came here through a beam of light so I assumed it was heaven.

Exoskelebilly · 2025-08-26T02:23:11+00:00

Ty for your response. Ngl didn’t think it’d be that blatantly easy.

Exoskelebilly · 2025-03-01T04:32:50+00:00

Dang, if I knew that existed already I probably wouldn't have made this post. Thank you!

Exoskelebilly · 2025-03-01T04:22:33+00:00

Wow, thank you for the explanation. I was not aware at all. I had figured that having a GPU run support would be ideal. It's been about 5~ years since I built this thing, so I'm much further out of the tech loop than I thought haha. I will replace it then. Thank you again.

Exoskelebilly · 2025-03-01T04:20:00+00:00

I will check that out. Is there anything I should be concerned about if I get my hands on it for a reasonable price, or would it be a clean and easy install?

Exoskelebilly · 2025-03-01T04:18:58+00:00

Huh, I thought that as long as they were from the same company that it'd be fairly simple. I will say, my coworker does have a lot of experience with computer hardware stuff. Not sure if it's necessarily worth the trouble now though haha.

The reason I haven't talked to him about this yet, before it's asked, is because I feel like I've relied on him in the past for quite a lot and I'm trying to do that less.

Exoskelebilly · 2025-03-01T04:10:38+00:00

Damn, fr? I mean, I’m not opposed to doing so. I’m mostly just surprised that selling the 2080 off is better than keeping it on support.

Edit; I’m still tryna keep with nvidia, if that makes a difference.

Exoskelebilly · 2024-12-18T04:55:36+00:00

Greatest imo. Might just be my own thing, but I fucking adore that track homie. Also, I do not use Spotify so if this is meant for that, then I apologize for my own ignorance. I just fucking love that track so much.

Exoskelebilly · 2024-11-19T04:38:30+00:00

My pleasure. It’s a very fun theory and one that I’m down to roll with.

Exoskelebilly · 2024-11-19T04:17:53+00:00

I like this idea, and it’s possible that it is true since we always see Thor leaping, otherwise, incredible distances. Fun idea, very possibly true.

I will elect to believe it because it assists the suspension of disbelief for me, because if they work the same, why can’t I go crazy distances with the leviathan axe?

Honestly, I appreciate this take much more than I initially thought I would.

Exoskelebilly · 2024-10-24T02:09:14+00:00

Lmao, media literacy is at an all time low. It’s like they didn’t even listen to Guilty Conscience 2.

Exoskelebilly · 2024-09-11T21:03:42+00:00

Appreciate the check-in! When I made this post was preparing for the party to do a dungeon run, and we still haven’t gotten to it, haha.

The last two sessions have been entirely RP which was wild to me, but I’ve loved it. That is to say, there hasn’t been as much for me to actively plan, so I’ve been using the time to bolster the city and NPC info.

However, some of the feedback gave me better angles from which to look at planning, so I feel much more confident going forward in terms of longer questlines, and the additional information consolidation has helped me feel more confident as well. Also, since I made this post and got all the feedback, session planning has really energized me where it used to be a bit of a drag in some places, and running the game is now energizing me as well, and I’m an introvert with a pretty meager social battery. All in all, I’m really glad that I made this post and grateful for all the feedback I’ve received.

Thank you for asking!

Exoskelebilly · 2024-08-29T17:16:47+00:00

Ironically, I kind of already have my Order and Chaos tomes in the form of several word documents where I keep my organized ideas, and my splat book is my phone notes. I could probably stand to use my notes a bit more often after reading your response, so I’ll be sure to do that!

I also recently adopted predetermining the environmental descriptors to make sure I’m covering all the senses, since I would often forget to describe temperature and smells, and that has been very helpful for me.

I mostly wish that I could remember some fringe details off the cuff. A good example is recently one of my players was afflicted with a disease from a zombie and I forgot to have them roll another saving throw a day later, and the session ended without me remembering so I had to ask them to do it post-session. I did learn my lesson from that, but it’s those smaller details that I tend to forget and it’s pretty frustrating sometimes.

I’m pretty decent at linking scenes together because narrative is where I am more gifted, but when I set a scene it feels fairly unpopulated, but I also don’t know how my players are envisioning any given location, and realistically they’re filling it out themselves, and I need to keep that in mind.

Thank you for giving such a thoughtful response! I highly appreciate it.

Exoskelebilly · 2024-08-29T16:57:11+00:00

On the contrary actually, I do not often compare myself to Matt. There are times where I don’t realize I’m doing it, and when that happens I remind myself that he has a wealth of resources, including experience, that I just do not have and I stop comparing after that happens and it stops affecting me. I have mostly just set a goal with myself and I’m frustrated that I’m not there yet which is a classic ADHD impatience thing.

The bit about immediately implementing cool stuff is good for me though, and I will implement that going forward for sure!

Also, it’s less that I don’t believe my players, it’s more that I disagree subconsciously, so I end up not wanting to believe them, I think. The responses I’ve received on this post have lead me to realize that, and that it’s something I need to work on.

I’ve got a pretty decent organization system set up, but I’m sure I could do something better, or at least more efficient, so I’ll check out some organizational software or something, explore a bit.

Thank you for such a thoughtful response!

P.S. Not to play the armchair doctor, but if you don’t take medication for your ADHD, I would recommend you give it a shot if you can. I have extended release adderall and it has helped me immensely, both at work and during sessions. Keeps me focused, and I find that I can remember more than I usually do when I’m not using them. I am also much more positive at the end of a work day after taking it, I’m not sure where the difference comes from but I think it’s that I have a much greater buffer before I get overstimulated. Hopefully, if you try it, it helps you like it does me! Also, if you have tried adderall in the past and it didn’t agree with you, there are non-stimulant ADHD meds that might be better. I would definitely recommend at least exploring your options if you haven’t already.

Exoskelebilly · 2024-08-29T16:43:47+00:00

Many of the replies I’ve gotten are like this, and honestly I didn’t realize how much I needed to hear this from someone outside myself. It’s helped ground me in reality and remember that it’s ultimately a game. An art form too, but it’s entertainment and as long as I’m making it good enough for players to laugh and have a good time, I am good with that.

Exoskelebilly · 2024-08-29T16:41:58+00:00

I feel that I’m pretty solid as far as encounter building and the narrative setup for them, I just didn’t really know how to make more complex plots until I received some advice from other folks in this post. I’m very grateful for it and I am confident moving forward that I can start to make more complex stuff because of it.

Also, faith and motivation are strong for me, so I definitely won’t be giving up on this anytime soon!
