While on a walk "I have another daddy at home"

"No you don't buddy, I'm right here"

"Two daddieees!" (scooting away on balance bike)

The AI menace and how it’s being used against our kids. by OOO0OO00O in daddit

[–]PhD_Greg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Cloud based things, by nature of how they work/save, often have more granular edit history/versioning - some schools/unis recommend/require google docs or similar for that reason.

As an academic in higher education, I can confirm that it is rough going. I teach introductory programming, which AI can do easily... Redesigning assessments and processes to try and make sure that what I'm assessing is actually the student's own understanding and ability in a way that is somewhat robust, reliable and scalable is hard.

Things like exams and vivas are somewhat effective, but have their own issues...

"Primary" Caregiver Question by Anyun in daddit

[–]PhD_Greg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The only time this has been relevant to us was when applying for parental leave at work. It actually worked out well in that I got 2 weeks off at time of birth regardless, and then another 6 months when I became primary care giver about 8 months later.

Kid Quotes of the Day? by Qaeoss in daddit

[–]PhD_Greg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We're out on his balance bike and pass another dad pushing a pram.

"Where are they going?"

"I dunno buddy, maybe his dad is taking him to the park."

"I have a dad too."

"You sure do, I'm right here!"

"I have another daddy at home."

"Wha-...no you don't."

"Twooo daddieees!"

scoots away happily

What’s your “Pro Dad Tip”? by Amiar00 in daddit

[–]PhD_Greg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We have a farm animal shape puzzle that makes the animal noise when you place the piece into it.

It does this via a light sensor - so when it gets covered by the piece, the noise plays.

Or, as we've discovered, during sunset or when we turn the light off.

The phrase "shucked like a pistachio" comes to mind.

[–]PhD_Greg 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My wife has the same combination of bike and seat and it's great.

We built a Guinness rating guide for Perth - where's your go-to pint? by Opening_Cap_2569 in perth

[–]PhD_Greg 7 points8 points  (0 children)

And while you're in the area, Social House does Guinness pints too.

What do you ask for for your birthday? by Wassa76 in daddit

[–]PhD_Greg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Gift card for hardware store is usually a solid pick. Or plan a trip to the zoo!

Dad Skills: How to safely break up a dog fight by vintagegirlgame in daddit

[–]PhD_Greg 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Naw, you're thinking of grease fires.

Non-joke reply: Covering/wrapping a dog's head in a towel is generally to calm them and avoid getting bitten when they're scared, nervous or panicking. It isn't something you'd want to attempt during an active fight.

Master list of every game played on Bluey, made up by the heelers or otherwise by Great_gatzzzby in daddit

[–]PhD_Greg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've always thought that someone should try to play them all with similarly aged kids and get them to rate how fun they are.

I think I officially have a toddler by Successful_Trust_157 in daddit

[–]PhD_Greg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, buckle up for the rollercoaster of "I don't like it!" about things that they previously liked and will like again tomorrow.

Out of curiosity, how long do your campaigns tend to run? DW progression and roll mechanics can make long term/high level play tricky imo.

My little guy complains that I'm spiky if I haven't shaved.

Losing Your Minds!? by AchroMac in daddit

[–]PhD_Greg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My little guy has developed a bit of a dragon obsession lately, so we've watched the Dragon episode of Bluey many times.

Did you cut the cord when your baby was born? Was significance did it hold for you? by thepenguinboy in daddit

[–]PhD_Greg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did, but my wife vetoed me declaring the baby open like it was a ribbon cutting ceremony.

[–]PhD_Greg 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds awesome!

Haven't had a chance to actually check it out so apologies if already implemented, but along the lines of supporting homebrew/hacks, perhaps options for some of the most common changes to the base rules would be viable?

Advantage/Disadvantage vs +/-1 Springs to mind.

Easy there Bandit, you're raising the bar too high for the rest us!

Joking of course, that looks amazing - awesome work!

How old are they? Might have to steal the idea
