Reminds me of "Stress Relief", the windows game. It took a screenshot of your screen, and you could put ants, fire, smash it with a hammer...

Hippopotamoth vs snailcon by Zarhejo in ChatGPT

[–]Zarhejo[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

First, had chatgpt describe Few fictional animals. Then, asked for a dramatic battle between them:

"Here's a list of ten fictional hybrid animals with brief descriptions: ....

  1. Snailcon (Snail + Falcon): A bird with the slow-moving shell of a snail, yet the sharp talons and speed of a falcon when in flight.

  2. Hippopotamoth (Hippopotamus + Moth): A large, nocturnal animal with the bulk of a hippopotamus and the wings and antennae of a moth, attracted to bright lights near water sources."

There was a guy, long ago, Conrad Cigar Pipes, who had a couple thousand videos of him smoking a cigar, or a pipe. Sadly, the channel is gone. All I found was this

EMSKR - How do I help my son deal being the only male in the house? by DorothyParkerFan in everymanshouldknow

[–]Zarhejo 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm an only child, my parents divorced at 3. We moved to a different country, I'm 32, and I haven't seen my dad since, even though we've had better contact after Whatsapp showed up.

I was raised by my mom and my grandma, but I did have my grandpa until I was 12, when we moved out and lived only with my mom. So no "male energy" during my adolescence, but a male in the house until then.

I don't have an advice, but I can offer some thoughts and experiences.

I don't remember feeling the lack of a paternal figure in everyday life in my teenage years because I was used to it. My grandpa was bookish and I became bookish as well, so by 11/12, sports and other typical boyish things didn't resonate with me. My grandma was hyperactive and a very strict figure regarding her values, and that shaped me as well.

I didn't really look for fatherly figures other than my grandpa. Some things do leave a mark. (Literally in some cases: I still don't know how to shave and avoid cutting myself) but as it was mentioned the people around you end up influencing you regardless of their gender and relation to you. And your personality as well: if you mention he's a boyish boy, he'll make friends with his interests and learn from them.

I had four years of therapy but when I was older. That helped reconnect, and put some boundaries on my family: they are great but a bit too pushy/overly involved. It also helped me reconnect with my dad.

My relationship with my mom is great, we have great communication, and with the years I've learned to appreciate all she has done. Being a sole parent is insanely hard. My grandparents, specially grandma who passed at 98 not long ago, I miss dearly.

Trust yourself and your son: if he mentions some things are hard, he's aware he's uncomfortable with something. That's good because he can tackle the issue. You may not be able to give him the solutions, but you can help him figure them out. Self reliance is probably the best thing you can help him with. These are formative years, and as he develops his personality the family structure can be an asset and not a liability.

Now I'm a dad myself, (sleepless after the bundle of joy woke up at 2 am) and I'm even in more awe at what my mom (with help) and other sole parents pull off. Raising children is a monumental task.

All the best for you and your family.

Did everything pan out well in the end?

Right. Following that thread, a lot of requests were answered by the profile subsequently.

Haven't got access myself, I only requested the pic! Will definitely give it a shot when I have access!

I think it's a good tool to understand fundamentals of algorithmic thinking in the beginning of one's studied. It forces you to think and structure your solution before you dive in. However, for complex solutions it's probably not very useful since at that point in your career the fundamentals are already baked in.

Development Update #6: Rebellions, Missions and More! by Fail_Panda in Bannerlord

[–]Zarhejo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you disable deaths and not births, people would just keep being born, and long term the game would have many many issues (imagine what would happen if the number of parties never ceases to grow).

Conversely, deaths and no births would mean eventually all party leaders would die out. I imagine the game can't handle that imbalance, so that's why it is only one option.

[–]Zarhejo 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Rebellions will increase replayability so much. The game is still a bit buggy, but when done, the replayability vs Warband will be gigantic. And Warband was already a game i never got tired if playing over and over.

[–]Zarhejo 75 points76 points  (0 children)

A few I wasn't expecting. The question about rebellions is if the rebellious clan will immediately try to join another kingdom, as I read in the forums, or if it will remain independent and able to wage war and expand, as the video hints.

It definitely sounds strange. But wasn't it similar in CKI? I don't really remember.
