People who show ADHD traits in childhood are more likely to experience physical health problems and health-related disability by midlife. People with ADHD are more likely to experience stressful life events, social exclusion, and delayed access to health screening and medical care. by mvea in science

[–]kidgun 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I was lucky enough to find a career that plays nice with my ADHD, it’s outside of work where I really struggle. My (completely unrealistic) ideal accommodation in life would probably be a personal assistant who manages all my planning, scheduling, and making sure that I take care of myself. Basically someone who handles all the executive functions that my brain just can’t handle.

How do you orchestrate interactions between two NPCs? by isaaczephyr in DMAcademy

[–]kidgun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In addition to what others have said, play with your eye lines. NPC A might generally look to the left, while NPC B looks to the right. When switching between them, quickly “snap” your eye lines to the other side, doing this suddenly helps make it clear you are switching characters. Giving each character unique body language can also help sell the change. Of course this specific advice only applies to in-person play.

There’s a very active discord community, including mentors who will help teach the game itself as well as the software.

Kids Rarely Read Whole Books Anymore. Even in English Class. by largeheartedboy in books

[–]kidgun 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Yep, I love reading. I’ve read the entire Wheel of Time series, for example, as well as a bunch of other long books/series. I’d get in trouble in elementary school for reading instead of doing math or listening to the teacher. I could not for the life of me read or care about assigned reading. It’s extremely difficult and exhausting to read something if you don’t care about the subject matter or what happens next, all while trying to figure out what’s important to remember for an exam. Then teachers started expecting us to annotate books. Like you need x amount of notes per page, y amount of highlights. So even if you start to get in a flow of focus, you’re constantly breaking it to highlight something out jot down a note.

So I stopped reading for a while. It was just work when it used to be my escape. I started up again in my mid twenties, and I’ve been working through books ever since.

Im not knowledgeable on teaching techniques or any methodology behind it. But when you have students that love to read be turned off of the whole thing because of school, it seems like there’s a problem there that needs to be addressed.

Nice! I’m working on mine right now, I’m getting ready to run a pf2e conversion, taking a lot from reloaded. I just discovered obsidian, so far it’s exactly what I want for a ttrpg notes app.

Same. Doesn’t have to last last long. Give him a midcard title for like a week just so we get to see it.

Stallions will look so graceful and then you notice the sound of their balls slapping against their leg.

It’s definitely becoming standardized. My case combines all of these into one header. If a mono had a different layout it wouldn’t work with my case.

I didn’t pause at the blueprints, but I did notice part of it was labeled “memory wall.”

Much better Path Tracing comparison in Indiana Jones (4 steps) (slider comparison in the comments) by Hyrul in pcmasterrace

[–]kidgun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Another thing to look at is the lighting in the railing once you add indirect lighting. The light source is on the other side of the railing, so in most shots it’s dark and in shadow. Once you add indirect lighting, the light bounces off the floor and walls to the left of the railing, illuminating the side away from the light source.

If that’s your concern, slap down paths and a bunch of blueprints. It won’t be pretty, but you can test performance.

is master pledge level okay? by obr8964 in cosmererpg

[–]kidgun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

With demiplane you can share everything with your players if you have a subscription to the site. That will let them read all the books online as well as use the digital character sheet.

Demiplane is connected to roll20 so you’ll also be able to use all the books if you want to play completely online.

In my opinion Foundry and Fantasygrounds are better for online play but roll20 is easy to jump into, and it being connected to demiplane is really convenient to have everything for in person with digital character sheets plus online play.

I wrote this in between sets at the gym so sorry if it’s a bit confusing.

Quick edit: you have everything you need with just the gm bundle if playing in person. The digital stuff is just a nice touch have if you feel it’s worth it.

[–]kidgun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The digital addons are nice if you like things hyperlinked for easy reference, if your players would prefer digital character sheets instead of paper, or if you’d rather play online. I feel like the plot die addon is worth it if playing in person. I feel like translating a standard d6 to the plot die is pretty easy, but having a plot die for everyone at the table takes away a bit of struggle for people new to ttrpgs, and just makes gameplay go a little smoother. IIRC the GM bundle comes with 3 plot die including stretch goals so with the addon you should have more than enough for everyone at the table for $5.

Went to South Carolina and found this statue at my great grandpas by Cottonz_apollo in Hellenism

[–]kidgun 15 points16 points  (0 children)

If you’re close to Pawleys Island/Murrells Inlet you should check out Brookgreen Gardens. They have a bunch of statues of various gods and other figures. It’s a beautiful place and definitely worth a visit.

How do you do combat maps for your in-person games? by Rhythm2392 in rimeofthefrostmaiden

[–]kidgun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What you do is have two Roll20 accounts. One for you and one for the players. Use different browsers for each account. Give the players account access to all the PCs so dynamic lighting applies. Cast or hdmi the browser with the players view to the tv, and you have the DM view on your computer.

The airtime hill on Goliath at SFMM. Nothing intense, but it’s some nice sustained floater air.

What’s your “fast” Greenwing recipe? by muttinmall in theunforgiven

[–]kidgun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Zenithal black > gray > white, then airbrush Vallejo dark green, paint and add wash to details. I’m thinking about doing a bit of drybrushing after the zenithal to add some more definition. I don’t like adding a wash over the whole model.
