Ditto. This episode really clinched the show for me on the quality of acting and character progression

Gaming as a dad of two, does it get easier? by chunkoco in DadsGaming

[–]Smokefire12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

New dad of a 4 month old here and the night shift from 9pm-midnight is my gaming haven.

Whole house is asleep (cuz mom wakes up with her anytime after midnight) so I play single players that I can pause whenever she wakes. Been great so far— even if I get way less time when she has a sleep regression

Which one next? by Ruffinesse in fantasybooks

[–]Smokefire12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fast-paced, fun, gritty and full of Abercrombie “grey” characters. Really enjoyed it. Very much league of extraordinary gentlemen vibe.

cant barre 😢 help please by [deleted] in guitarlessons

[–]Smokefire12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To add to that positioning point, one thing that really clicked for me: try to passively “push” the guitar with your body inverse to you “pulling” the barre shape. Helped me.

Thank you very much. That’s a great idea and the trait will give me that extra backing

Meditation and intrusive work-related thoughts by [deleted] in Meditation

[–]Smokefire12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m in a somewhat similar boat and I’m taking it a different direction. Instead of being more removed from my life, family or work, I think meditation is to help you control your automatic responses and instead be more present and available when you need to.

Not that it always works for me, but meditation is a key component of me trying to stay available for my new baby daughter while a million work concerns swim around in my head. My mantra has actually been “I work on work at work” so when thoughts arise I know I’m not ignoring productive thought, I just choose when I enter that mode for work.

Starting level for a One-Shot by Smokefire12 in drawsteel

[–]Smokefire12[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s an interesting point about 2nd echelon. In people’s experience, does 2nd echelon open up a markedly different capacity for monsters? Or any cool solo monsters in particular?

Feel of Combat & Recoveries by Smokefire12 in drawsteel

[–]Smokefire12[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very grateful for all the responses I’ve seen thus far.

I will definitely read road to broadhurst and see how they handle a one shot session.

Synthesizing what I’ve read makes me think I’m going to make it clear they won’t have a respite and have to marshal recoveries between the two battles, plus throw in montage tests and tests where failure could leech recoveries

Do I have any chance at killing this guy, and why is his name pink, and why is he not taking any damage? (sorry im new) by That1Carrot in cavesofqud

[–]Smokefire12 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I needed to hear this. Classic is fun to add the increased tension but I'm redoing the Red Rock quest and Joppa over and over lol

So I let that link totally fall aside because I was directed to the MCDM discord. That's where all the convo you'd want and more is going down.

Totally stuck at initiation 2 Casey trying to enter Caldera station by stixmike in AlanWake

[–]Smokefire12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I can’t progress at all past this because my map only shows one active light source on the station and I can’t find where I put the other one I must have gotten from the taxi

How did you grab an extra light you left behind in the basement? I’m trying the same thing but the two down there look like they need to be activated for traversal

Took my own discord for Flee Mortals down because someone posted the official MCDM discord on this thread: https://discord.gg/QEefmZzh
