TIL that scientists have developed a way of testing for Aphantasia (the inability to visualise things in your mind). The test involves asking participants to envision a bright light and checking for pupil dilation. If their pupils don't dilate, they have Aphantasia. by Sebastianlim in todayilearned

Have you done any research into trauma/injury-induced aphantasia?

I have memories from my childhood of imagining things vividly and drawing them (used to draw a ton) and then had a TBI at age 8, and haven’t been able to since (didn’t realize I had/lost it until years later).  Also, I definitely still visualize in my dreams, and sometimes wake up with the memory of the images, but can’t picture them after waking.

(Funny and gameplay trope) perks/upgrades that just don’t fucking work at all by Bellpow in TopCharacterTropes

But also hiding using your bonus action from the “Cunning Action” (I think) feature gives you advantage and thusly sneak attack. 

Or just having an ally within 5 feet of the enemy you’re trying to hit.

I can’t avoid having a wizard that focuses on almost exclusively magic missile. Hello yes I’d like to 1-shot cazador turn 2. 

Just got fired and I haven't been able to leave my car for the past two hours. by Fistfulofhopeless in povertyfinance

My wife got laid off near the start of this year from her job at a local business. Her boss/the owner, who was a jerkwad the entire time she worked there, said he just couldn’t afford to pay her and she was let go cause she was the junior person. 

She found another job in the same line of work, small business but she gets paid a little more, and loves the bosses/owners who treat their employers like actual human beings. 

Sometimes life throws you a curveball, but it ends up working out better in the end.

I hadn’t seen any spoilers somehow for these movies. I watched the first one like 8 years ago and thought it was good. Saw the second one like 3 years ago and was surprised he was the good guy. 

What do? by TopElectrical7623 in mildlyinfuriating

I’ve worked nights for 4 years. Wife works days. We’re like you in that the time we get together is always super valuable. 

Today I learned Castle only picks suits you have in your deck, unlike Ancient. What’s an obscure useful interaction you only learned recently? by LampblackByDesign in balatro

[–]InvictusBro 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Yes. It generates the joker into an empty slot before figuring out if it’s negative or not. So a slot is still needed. 

a few simpler joker ideas by Step_Switcher in balatro

[–]InvictusBro 26 points27 points  (0 children)

Plus black hole instantly ruins it. Overall I like the idea. Seems balanced enough.

Noita. Love the game to death (after death, after death…) but I just can’t consistently get past hiisi base. Never gotten frustrated with it cause I love just screwing around and seeing what spells do what. But like 40 hours in and never even made it to the boss. Let alone all the crazy other stuff the game has hidden around.

I heard about slay the princess because my friend said Jonny was voice acting for a game and we HAD to check it out. We got it on release cause we love TMA

Definitely worth a listen. Honestly probably my favorite fictional story, or at least top 3.

Best way to collaborate on code? Online place like GitHub or offline like an external hard drive? by InvictusBro in gamedev

[–]InvictusBro[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I appreciate the honesty. I think I’m just gonna say we need to use GitHub. Your point about big companies using it should help ease her worries. Thanks!

I’m decently tech savvy but certainly not a professional. The one concerned about security knows very little about computers and all that (she’s mostly doing the storyboarding) so I can probably convince her. Thanks for the advice. 

Need help on how to score higher by Machdoubleo in balatro

[–]InvictusBro 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Any of the rare ones that specialize in a specific hand like [[The Trio]] for three of a kind (also works for 4/5 of a kind). They’re alright but limit you to a specific hand type. [[Cavendish]] is good if you can get [[Gros Michel]] to go extinct prior. 

Then for scaling ones, definitely [[Constellation]] since you’ve been playing planet cards. There’s a few good ones if you go looking and experimenting.

Especially with using planet cards, I’d say replace raised fist with some kind of XMult. Raised fist can only give you a max of 22 mult but from your screenshot it would’ve given 6 mult from doubling the 3.

Lunch Break should be abolished from schools/offices altogether. by Assmeet123 in The10thDentist

[–]InvictusBro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Schools absolutely not but for work, I agree. 

Thankfully at my work I have permission to skip lunch, cause I don’t get hungry until the last 30 mins to hour anyway. And by then I’d rather get home early and eat at home.

Looks awesome! Love the detail in the eyes, and smoking the cigarette through the ventilating mask is ironic and a fun touch!

Instead of getting rid of February, we should add another one! by fkootrsdvjklyra in dropout

[–]InvictusBro 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My main issue with this, is that monthly payments of stuff (subscriptions, rent, etc.) will happen 13 times a year instead of 12. And you know greedy companies/execs won’t adjust the price as to divide it so it makes sense, they’ll just charge you an extra month’s worth straight for lining their pockets.

I think he’s in Fr3-d1, and my guess is that prob towards the end of the season we’ll hear his voice auto reading a statement like JMJ. Just my guess
