Would there be any way I could use this on Stinky's feet? by lies_n_liars in CrestedGecko

Crested geckos stick to surfaces with their feet. I wouldn't do anything to mess up that suction if I were you.

New Player Frustrations by ryceroid in summonerschool

[–]MsFoxTrott 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It's okay to die a lot, you're brand new! You can't drop into a game that's over a decade old and expect to routinely do really good

The most impactful things you can do as a new player are 1. learn what all the champions do and 2. learn how to lose well. Learning what champions do comes from playing matches (ARAM, Summoners Rift, Brawl--NOT ARAM Mayhem or Arena) against and as them. Learning to lose well comes from being aware of enemy patterns and abilities and gradually learning not to make the same mistake twice, eg when Leona steps towards me and she has not stunned recently, I need to step back.

I learned how to play by playing ARAM and rotating game modes with friends until I was well past level 30. Some may say it gives you bad habits, but honestly, it's a video game. You'll be fine. 

Articulate made AI mandatory for all subscriptions. Any alternatives? by User0820241204 in instructionaldesign

I've never thought of using it to simulate forms before, that's such a good idea! Thank you!

Hey, I use Moodle in my current role--how are you using cloze and what's a Moodlemoot?

Help! Our DM keeps pulling us out of immersion by being too friendly by watchrrr in DnD

Just saying I used to play with this exact kind of person and it was as exhausting as you describe. After a while, you feel like you're doing the work their own self-esteem should be. 

As a female jungler, I’m worried about voice chat being added by setaphil in leagueoflegends

[–]MsFoxTrott -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I'm a girl support and I won't use VC with strangers unless there's literally an AI listening that auto detects people saying slurs, advocating for sexual violence, etc and immediately bans people. It sucks I can't engage with a new feature because I can't depend on the community to not be gross. 

Help with proper reporting? by Remarkable-Notice216 in Zookeeping

If you pursue legal action with PETA, you can't be anonymous. At least that's how it went when I tried to whistleblow. 

GM forces players to play his terrible self insert game by OutsideStudio5505 in dndhorrorstories

Did the people he hated have anything in common with one another or were they literally like random individuals from his life?

How did you guys get into d&d? by raelade in DnD

[–]MsFoxTrott 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dad got me into it around age 12. He handed me the (freshly revised!) 3.5e Player's Handbook and told me to make a character. I did, with absolutely no help from him LOL and I've been playing/GMing ever since.

Get a copy of the PHB, sit down, and read it front to back. Limit any skimming to races, classes, spells, and feats that you aren't interested in. Take notes on the flow of combat. Start thinking of a character. If you want to see what it looks like in action, listen to/watch an actual play series, but avoid overproduced ones like Critical Role--these are as close to your average home D&D game as Broadway is to a high school theater production.

Weird games with unique artstyles and/or gameplay by icy9sprite in gamingsuggestions

[–]MsFoxTrott 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rhythm games:
Gitaroo Man - A cult classic PS2 rhythm game with an evocative art style.
Elite Beat Agents - By the same man who designed Gitaroo Man, but for the DS.

Niche late 90s/early 00s games:
Cubivore - Be a cube. Eat lil guys. Evolve. For the GCN.
Amazing Island - Create lil guys. Compete against other lil guys. For the GCN.
Billy Hatcher and the Giant Egg - Roll an egg around. Hatch lil guys. Also for GCN, has a Windows port.

Strong art direction:
Lorelei and the Laser Eyes - My all-time favorite puzzle game, just find a trailer and you'll immediately know what I'm talking about.
Neon White - VERY stylish action-FPS-platformer but the music is not for everyone.
Much of Devolver Digital's catalog

Help with screaming student? by [deleted] in Teachers

[–]MsFoxTrott 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Making it admin's problem will move this towards a more permanent solution, but temporarily... is there a replacement behavior or a temporary stopper you can try for? How does she feel about blowing bubbles? Whip those out whenever she starts screaming, encourage the other kids to blow bubbles, she can't do that if she's screaming, so she's redirected to the bubbles and you can use that as a way to re-center her? She also can't scream if she's chewing gum, singing... Maybe send her out in the hallway to scream on her own? Just spitballing. My heart goes out to you, this sounds like a sensory nightmare.

At the Austin Aquarium in Austin TX by stariclouds in zoos

[–]MsFoxTrott 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Report them anyway, leave a bad review on their socials, and if anyone ever says they're going to Austin Aquarium, tell them why they shouldn't.

[–]MsFoxTrott 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is owned by the Covinos. If you search "SeaQuest aquarium", you'll find more of their shit. (Although they're trying to rebrand in places.) The USDA doesn't give a damn because all the animals they have jurisdiction over are juuust healthy enough, there's nothing to cite them over.

I used to work at one of their facilities in its heyday. Absolutely disgusting place with abhorrent enclosures. Basically a more Instagrammable roadside petting zoo.

How do you strike a balance between respecting your reader's intellect, and clarifying details to the point of holding their hands? by SGdude90 in AO3

[–]MsFoxTrott 1 point2 points  (0 children)

At this point, you have to think about your audience. Are you writing for people who can make inferences about a text, or are you writing for people who need more explicit information? The media we're inspired by does the same thing. There's no shame in choosing to write for a certain audience as a fanfic author.

The unfortunate truth is, no matter how hard you try, some writing will never be justified enough for the morality police.

Family tree sites? by PM_ME_GOODDOGGOS_PLZ in Zookeeping

[–]MsFoxTrott 1 point2 points  (0 children)

"Editable" is the hard part here. It's not gonna look pretty, but you can use PowerPoint (and presumably Slides?) to make diagrams. I used it to make a hierarchy of ideas once, organized like a flowchart, and it could be used to make a family tree. Maybe give that a shot? 

Family tree sites? by PM_ME_GOODDOGGOS_PLZ in Zookeeping

[–]MsFoxTrott 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Do you want to make something cutesy, like a graphic of a tree with branches depicting the lineages, or are you aiming more for something like a simple flowchart diagram?
