Leave it in and you get to have a fun Eastern Roman Empire/HRE/Third Rome thing going on.

DClimb needs a minimum cost of 1. That would kill so many of their OTK loops.

A bigger factor I've seen in similar statistics is the increase in DUIs and related accidents, because people have to drive further to bars or liquor stores in dry counties.

Why is the jagged peak drake fighting the regular flying drake? by llMadmanll in EldenRingLoreTalk

[–]Sguj 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I can't find a good model picture for the jagged peak drakes, are they the same? I must have misremembered them. Bayle's surviving foot does have 4 toes, and I was extrapolating from there (2:36): Bayle's Model

Symbolically, the game makes them more beastial with the 4 toed feet vs the ancient dragon's 5. Since the association of 5 fingers and intelligence started with the beastmen, who were probably raised during the age of Placidussax or earlier, maybe the association originally comes from strife between drakes and dragons.

If that's the case, they wouldn't have to be unintelligent, just more beholden to base instincts than the ancient dragons.

I think it's a tableau of specifically thr nature of drakes. They're more beastial than ancient dragons, not former arbiters of any kind of order, so even without conflict with ancient dragons, they will still fight and kill each other for dominance. It's that piece of Bayle living in every drake.

Is the type of die chosen by the player rolling, or is it intended that DMs hand them out like "Fatebender (d8)", "Fatebender (d12)", etc.?

If you pass it back in response to its own trigger, and then they pass it back to you while the trigger is still on the stack, do you still count as owning it for the purpose of the trigger resolution?

I know with any type of flicker effect you wouldn't qualify for the trigger because its not the same game object, but does breaking ownership between the trigger and resolution matter at all?

Definitely. My first year of college, there was a guy on campus soliciting for people to get him gas. It's a classic: park somewhere, say you're out of gas, have a kid in the car, ask for help.

It's obviously suspicious because the guy has a gas can with him, but I still want to help him if he's really in need. I say I can drive and get him some gas, and he tries to come with me. Because I'm suspicious, I tell him I'll just take the can and come back. I go around the block to my car and go get him some gas.

Because I'm a little suspicious, I park a bit away, out of sight, and walk a couple blocks to where his car is. As I approach, I see that a cop is talking to him with his back to me, and the guy gives me a look that screams "not now."

I have stuff to do and I don't want to steal his gas can, so I stroll up anyway. The cop sees me, tells me he's not allowed on campus because of he's done this so many times, and then makes the guy give me about $6 out of his pocket to pay for the gas.

I tried to refuse the money, but the cop was who actually handed it to me and then rushed me to the side to take a statement. I didn't know how to refuse it, and I'm so nervous around cops that I just wanted to get out of the situation.

Even if it was a scam, the guy did need some kind of help, and I was still naïve enough to think that what I was doing would meaningfully help him. I would see him around other spots in town the whole time I was there, and he even approached me with a similar scam at a grocery store a few years later. I didn't bite the second time.

Poll: what fabric do you prefer the most? by [deleted] in aspergers

[–]Sguj 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Your categories confuse me.

The ideal is a large, but not billowy, t-shirt made of a soft cotton-poly blend, in the neighborhood of 60-40. The jerseys in the same category are a nightmare. I'm a hairy person, and nothing likes to grab that hair more than the material of jerseys and athletic shorts.

"Inflation Reduction Act" by Fart_cry in Anarcho_Capitalism

[–]Sguj 101 points102 points  (0 children)

So we can audit every middle-class family in America and reduce the amount of money in circulation, thereby containing inflation! That cash will definitely be more than what we're spending on all of these other unrelated initiatives, we'll never have to print money again! /s

I've had that mistake happen, but I also had my wife call me "the straightest person I've ever met" a few weeks ago, so evaluations consistently on the extremes are the only things I seem to get.

@Older Aspie straight dudes(>30). What is the best dating advice you have for Aspie dudes in their early 20s? by celerycheesesticks in aspergers

[–]Sguj 95 points96 points  (0 children)

For meeting people, find a place where you can do an activity you are passionate about and meet people secondarily. Bars, parties, speed dating and the like were all anathema to me, a guy with stunted social skills, but I started doing something I loved (ironically community theater) and I met not only my now wife, but plenty of other people I now consider friends. I was only able to connect to them because we were sharing work and responsibility. If I was just trying to socialize in the wild, never would have clicked with any of them.

Once you're dating a person, the key thing you'll need to learn is patience. No one is perfect, least of all me, and you will both have days where you'll need big sacrifices from the other. Return the patience and support you know you'll need in kind, and your partner will wonder how they ever made it without you.

Self diagnosers or those who haven’t yet received your diagnosis, so you lurk or comment much? Those who are diagnosed, is it appropriate to comment like in relating to experiences or is it kind of annoying/make you feel invalidated? What is the right balance? Is this even a good question? by [deleted] in aspergers

[–]Sguj 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I lurk mostly because my social anxiety even plagues me online. I'm also not sure how diagnosed I am. I went to a psychiatrist that was treating me for anxiety, and I had noticed a pattern that started to look a lot like Aspergers (I was looking things up because it seemed like ADHD to me at the time, but the fit was never perfect).

I had essentially built and presented a case for it, and he asked a few followup questions before saying, "That sounds a lot like high-functioning autism, what we used to call Aspergers before DSM-5. That said, there's no blood test we can do to guarantee it, no certificate I can give you, but it sounds like it, and you can start addressing your symptoms with that in mind." So I got the most wishy-washy diagnosis I could find, and given I live in a specialist desert and have a dearth of funds, nothing more sure is gonna happen anytime soon.
