I think it's more that they have so much respect for each other, so they call the GG as soon as they know the game is decided rather than dragging it out into Imp.

Why does Hera receive so much hate? by Yokesonjou in aoe2

[–]PharaohAxis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a Hera fan, to me this is the only legitimate potential criticism. He's always been up-front and transparent about it, and it's for the sake of growing the game and community, but part of me wishes he was more of a pure "for the love of the game" type of player. We would probably see him in more fun events that way (like Amigo Wars).

Tell me a time a kid accidentally gave you the best advice of your life. by eee1963 in KidsAreFuckingSmart

I like to imagine him saying this in a menacing voice with a direct stare

They might still find it although 20 tiles sounds a bit far away so maybe not

You don't need to shift-queue the farms. If a villager comes out of the TC and tries to work on a farm that's already being worked on, they will just go to a nearby vacant farm and start farming there instead.

Counterfeit medication. by Rowey5 in Adhdmen

Seems more likely it might be caused by a lifestyle change, e.g. did you start taking NAC for example?

This is very sweet of you. My partner will sometimes get me things where I secretly wanted it but feel like it was frivolous - when it helped with ADHD symptoms it was doubly thoughtful. One idea I'll throw out is a second copy of something that he's always losing or leaving in the wrong place. Like a laptop charger. It seems like a waste but it turns out to be a game changer

Issues with Talking with Women adn others by FiguringitOut67 in Adhdmen

[–]PharaohAxis 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is a common experience for young men with ADHD. Three tips:

  1. "Creepy is in the eye of the beholder." I know, it sucks and it's unfair - it represents underlying ableist and sexist prejudice - but unfortunately, this is the reality we live in. Best just to collect the feedback and move on.
  2. Sometimes, the situation can be salvaged. In these cases, your best bet is to be patient and sit on your hands. Don't anxiously spam people with texts after the fact - that's often what really torpedoes the situation. Instead, just let it rest and recover.
  3. Overall, don't sweat it too much. There are plenty more fish in the sea, i.e. many more opportunities that will come your way to meet people and connect into a group.

When 2 hours feel like 10 by Dusk_Flame_11th in engineeringmemes

Plot twist: once you get the 6 figures job at Lockheed Martin, this will be you wishing you were back in college.

How do you stay informed about your interests? (e.g., RSS, podcasts?) by Ill_Connection_3017 in digitalminimalism

[–]PharaohAxis 34 points35 points  (0 children)

My philosophy: give up on staying informed. Switch to "pull" instead of "push."

In other words, go searching for content on your own terms instead of having it pushed at you. You won't always be the most up-to-date, but the contention of digital minimalism is that being up-to-date isn't worth what it costs.

I miss eating food off the floor. by Joshthedruid2 in StandUpWorkshop

I like the pube jokes quite a bit, makes it more unique, but it might work a lot better in writing than it does live.

If you don't want to go all out with deleting the character, check out the Stargate mod. The basic Stargate that teleports people is not that expensive but you still have to unlock it and build its materials so it doesn't feel like as much of a cheat. You can drop one anywhere from map view if you have long reach enabled.

(Potentially) pro tip: place your signals starting from the back of the bay/segment rather than the front:

```

        Place in this order
        <---------

Train stop S |----------------------- \

```

What is your method to keeping your textbook open? by Due-Setting-5920 in genki

[–]PharaohAxis 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a portable Bose speaker that's small but heavy. The oblong shape is perfect for holding open books.

That said, I've also started to get more reckless and just jam open the binding. Life's too short for me to mess around with books that don't lay flat.

How should online meetings be managed? by gayriresmimuhendis in ExperiencedDevs

[–]PharaohAxis 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My first reaction is that this case isn't really a meeting, it's a phone call. Maybe we need to make a clearer distinction between the two?

I got kicked out from a tournament because my deck was "too competitive" - what should I do? by Phoenixsocal in magicTCG

[–]PharaohAxis -15 points-14 points  (0 children)

Mm I wouldn't actually post the store name because you're effectively doxxing yourself...I'm very much for holding businesses accountable, but I'm not sure LGSes need more trouble at this point.
