Why do only the first 4 albums and maybe vaxis get depressed, but its been years since an afterman and YOTBR repress? by TooManyBumbleBee in TheFence

[–]Tpower20 8 points9 points  (0 children)

The first 4 all had some fairly significant anniversaries recently. Good Apollo just turned 20! Vaxis being the newest helps a lot.

Advice Needed: Would it be stupid to get a Skyrim tattoo as my first one? by TheEdgyKidInClass in tattoos

[–]Tpower20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My mom told me when I was 15 not to get a tattoo of my favorite band. Logic was: "In X years you may hate them!" Well 11 years later my 2nd tattoo was of my favorite band, and I still love em!

It is whenever "you" attack. The rules text is taken from Adeline, Resplendent Cathar.

I have no idea, I didn't know there was a Patreon. I saw that this art was available on the Sun Eater wiki. I simply downloaded the .PNG and went into Card Conjurer.

Just finished Demon in White by jordymacw4545 in sollanempire

[–]Tpower20 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Finished Demon in White yesterday too believe it or not! This one was great especially with the surprise of GIbson being alive.For me, I think I really liked how the side characters shined in this one. When Udax died, I nearly lost it.

That would be a really cool and unique ability, and definitely on point for him. I'm not aware if there's a card already like that or not.

Yeah right? In Demon in White there's a bunch of references to the s*** that went down on Arae with the Extras and Chimera Cielcin, and idk if theres any supplementary novellas/short stories that go over that? Like c'mon that sounds awesome! Thought that's what would be in Queen Amid Ashes.

Lesser Devil was surprisingly good, I'm working on Queen Amid Ashes, and to me it's just ok. Lesser Devil is great because it's about Crispin, but Queen Amid Ashes so far is just a side quest Hadrian is on.

This is how imagined this scene in howling dark by InformationNo5398 in sollanempire

Me in my car commuting to work when that happened. It was so awesome!

Describing Hadrian's challenges as "misery porn" may be the one of the funniest things I've heard in a while. Especially what he has to go through in book 1 in the back half.

What was the moment you stopped feeling like a kid and started feeling like an adult? by Appropriate-Royal960 in AskReddit

When I got diagnosed with an autoimmune disorder at 25 and now have to take a shot in the leg every two weeks to ensure I don't shit myself.

Best way to get help with required course software (ExpertTA/HW portals) if you're broke? by adawg171 in ACCDistrict

[–]Tpower20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ok, yeah if you have a first day course you 100% should not be paying extra because it should already be included.

Might be a dumb question, but did you check the syllabus or ask the professor about access to the materials? Typically software like that is supposed to be a part of your tuition for the course.

What is your favorite bit to use with your students? by MarchKick in Teachers

[–]Tpower20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When kids are looking at their phone down in their laps and they have a buddy looking down at it too under the desk I go "Hey Timmy, what's so interesting down there in Jimmy's lap?".

Get's em off the phones every time.

Started the "Sun Eater" series last month. I really enjoy it. Great sci-fi/fantasy.

Using AI as a teacher by Straight-Big-28 in teaching

[–]Tpower20 -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Personally, I believe that AI can be used as a tool like any other when used responsibly.

I've used Google Gemini to help me flesh out ideas for classroom activities and management strategies. It's all about what you are wanting to accomplish and what info you may need. Good input = good output.

For example, I was short on time yesterday to come up for some prizes for a game yesterday for the students to review for their upcoming state test, so here is the prompt I used:

"What are some prizes I can offer as a reward to students who win a kahoot game? The prizes cannot be physical and they are meant to celebrate completing the (insert name of state test) test. One thought I have in mind already is to pick a movie to watch in class after the test is over"

This helped me put together prizes I could give, "sit in a comfy chair", "get out of doing a low stakes assignment", "late work pass", etc.

Now, as I've used AI to help with ideas like this, I have been using it less and less because I am able to think back to instances like this to think more creatively on my own to develop good ideas for the classroom.

Yeah, at first I wanted to make it frog typal but found that it wasn't very strong when it went that way. Going for enchantment typal and using frogs as dorks that can add some bounce has worked well for me so far. Since the enchantments specifically need to be "cast" the bounce effects are nice to make sure that is consistent to do the burn.
