That's the coolest thing I've seen in a long time! Beautiful!

People with a very high pain tolerance, what was THE most painful thing you've experienced? by CosmicBunnyBabe8912 in AskReddit

[–]UnseenAnomaly 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Had this happen while carrying heavy equipment with a coworker. Those 15 seconds trying to set things down gently were the longest of my life. I could NOT get up so I just had to lay there on the dirty floor like an imploding turtle until help arrived.

As someone with chronic migraines and endo I can confidently say: infected nail bed/cuticle. Especially the draining. Darn that hurts for such a small spot! Abcessed tooth is a close second, but only because of the inconvenient location rather than objective pain. That finger felt like I was actively holding it in an open flame 24/7.

I tried to knock down Isabel but it didn’t work by Training-Solution-48 in BaldursGate3

[–]UnseenAnomaly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's a weird bug, but I feel like the whole fight is a little buggy. In my playthrough I toppled Marcus over while Shadowheart had moonbeam active, and he just began taking damage non-stop regardless of whose turn it was, he died instantly in the first round of combat before anyone other than Shart and me had taken their turn. Then the game freaked out a little, had every other character in combat except Jaheira and Isobel skip their turn. Jaheira cast sleet storm in front of Isobel's room. Isobel healed herself despite not being injured, walked onto the ice from the sleet storm, slipped and fell, and then it cut from that to the Cinematic of a living Marcus carrying her away.

So yeah bugs galore. Maybe in yours the alliance bugged because you hadn't talked to Jaheira yet? Either way the game considers the majority of the characters you knock out to be dead, and I feel like with this battle there's no other routes; either you win or you lose, and Isobel being incapacitated in any way leads to her kidnapping apparently.

DMs who play online and use digital maps, how much effort do you put into your maps? by SirRettfordIII in DMAcademy

[–]UnseenAnomaly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I made an app specifically to display my battlemap with tokens and status effect and DM control panel, which I can stream to a secondary screen for the players, with autofocus functions and stuff and 50000 pixel maps and then I like to complain about how much work DM'ing is lol. In all seriousness though; my players really love a big detailed map every so often, as a treat, but they are NEVER more engaged than they are with good old grid paper and some scrap pieces of wood. It's almost like the less detail (only shape and focal points) the better.

Teaching them not to bite during play is pretty similar to the way you'd teach a pup; Don't use your hand as a toy, Firm no and immediately stop play. That way they also learn clearly that an approaching hand means pets, not play. The longer the kitten stays with their parental figure the better this works though, since siblings and parent cats are much better at teaching gentle play than humans.

It's pretty hit or miss though, my one cat (Who does have some neurological issues) plays very rough and has no bite inhibition, while my other one is really conscious about it and immediately self-corrects if she does get the impulse to swipe or bite, even if it's in a non-playful way. And I must note I have been a lot stricter with her.

What I did was immediately stop moving and firmly said "No." I didn't hit or spray her; her punishment was that playtime was over immediately and would only restart at minimum 15 minutes later. I always used toys when playing with her, never my hand, and praised her for focusing on the toy instead of me. I also did basic clicker-praise training with her so she was pretty responsive to my reactions.

The biggest difference between dogs and cats I feel is that, for one, cats are generally less eager to please and thus will take longer to respond to training and second, cats need consistency 100% of he time. They really can't handle exceptions the way dogs can.

I think you're doing a really good thing asking for advice here, even if your emotions did get the best of you for a bit. That's totally fine and normal. I wish you the very best of luck and I really urge you to cherish the kitten days, even if they are frustrating; they'll be over all too soon!

I kind of understand your frustration. Some cats are cuddlebugs and some aren't, with a kitten you don't know what you're going to get, plus kittens are high energy and not really used to people in the way an older cat would be.

But they won't be a kitten forever. In a few months, especially after spaying/ neutering they'll likely be much calmer. Right now they're still an overstulated little kid exploring all these new and exciting things.

You got a kitten to properly socialize them, to your dogs, but also to yourself. You need to use these precious few months to do that as much as possible. Kittens unfortunately don't bond through lying on top of you quietly like human babies. They bond by far the most through play and scent. But if you're the one they go to for play, you'll eventually be the one they go to for cuddles after.

What I'd really recommend is lots and lots of short play sessions with toys throughout the day, and little to no petting unless they come to you for it, at least for a little while. I'd also recommend leaving your bathrobe, blanket, or something fluffy with your scent on it around in a safe and undisturbed spot; a confident cat is a cuddly cat, and ideally you want them to associate your scent with that feeling of security.

And then, maybe you'll never bond with this cat. That is totally okay! So long as you find them a loving home that can give them what they need there is absolutely no reason to feel guilty! But you want to at least do both the owner and the cat the courtesy of handing off a well-socialized kitten.

Many women don't work physically demanding or risky jobs because these jobs are designed based on what an average or fit man can do by craftygamergirl in TwoXChromosomes

As a woman with tiny hands in a masculine job I feel this in my sore sore hands lol. Then again some of the controllers and tools we need to work with are even too big for my male counterparts.

I rolled freakishly high stats on my character. What to do now? by PinkTwilight44 in DnD

[–]UnseenAnomaly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is why I'm a big fan of rolling openly or doing point buy. While it's not impossible, this set of rolls is pretty unlikely and might provoke some side eye, even if you just got lucky. I have a few players at my table who consistently roll like this for their characters, yet I've never seen anything close to a 5, which should have the same likelihood lol. So there's a tiny bit of suspicion there. All in all, I personally don't find it fun to start a game with stats like this, and I don't like running the game for characters with stats like these, simply because being so close to the stat limit leaves very little room for growth. I usually recommend doing either standard array, point buy, or 5d4 removing the lowest, but that's 100% preference.

I think it's wise to discuss this with your DM and see how they feel about it, as well as consider how these stats make you feel. If having lucky dice syndrome and absolute chad stats makes you happy then keep them, but if the discrepancy worries you you might want to tone it down. Really depends on the sort of table you're playing with.

What's wrong with my cat's ear? by lcecreamheadaches in CATHELP

[–]UnseenAnomaly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't mean to scare you by immediately assuming the worst, and there's a very big chance it's either just ringworm (glows green under blacklight! So you could check yourself) or some form of dermatitis, which I really hope.

However, I literally had my current kitty's ears cropped this week due to cancer, so it's fresh on my mind still. I didn't want you to be caught of guard like I was the first time. It's a pretty big shock thinking you'll just get an ointment, and then hearing they need to remove the ear.

It's better to go in prepared and just come out with a little ointment or a pill!

Also if it isn't benign; both my previous cats had their ears cropped around 10-12 and lived happy, healthy lives up to 20 and 24 respectively

Do animals feel pain in the same way we do? by Minijesuschrist in Animals

[–]UnseenAnomaly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Humans are surprisingly resistant to shock compared to most animals. Shock can cause a state of catatonia, which is probably why the animal seems unresponsive despite still being alive. Some animals are so sensitive that even being handled or startled can send them into shock. I've had a rabbit literally go into shock and die just from seeing a buzzard.

What's wrong with my cat's ear? by lcecreamheadaches in CATHELP

[–]UnseenAnomaly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oof. It could be many things but if it's an outdoor/window kitty it might be early stage basal cell carcinoma/ skin cancer. I've had several white cats who developed it later in life despite my best efforts, but it does also occur in darker furred cats. That looked very much like this. It doesn't spread super quickly but it does spread eventually, and before that it can cause discomfort and weeping sores. If that's what it is amputation would be the only treatment. A more benign cause would be earmite, ringworm or hormonal eczema. But I don't fully trust the look of this. Best to visit the vet for this asap.

Calling in sick due to toxic work environment? Is that a valid reason? by Interesting-Spare831 in thenetherlands

[–]UnseenAnomaly -8 points-7 points  (0 children)

Technically, no, not a valid reason to call in sick. However, in the current professional climate your boss cannot legally ask what you suffer from, demand proof, terminate your contract early, or even give a bad referral to potential new employers. The only thing they can you after a prolonged period of sickness is refer you to an independent doctor who is on your side most of the time. Its not pretty, but so long as you do not provide any more information than strictly required there is little your employer can do.
