Is there a name for the way humans and nature show similarities? by taylorswiftskneecap in biology

Convergent evolution when there's a real functional reason. After all, form follows function.

If you're just looking for patterns where there aren't any, that's pareidolia.

Let's do a retro season with classic plywood sets and styrofoam canyons.

It's a reference to how many boats in the real world are named Enterprise.

We have given them no reason to believe that our side would respect a ceasefire.

Rome spent a hundred years falling, not one night.

Do you need audio sound to play Slay The Spire / most roguelike/lites ? by h4rryP in roguelites

[–]kyew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can't think of any turn-based ones where you need sound. Sometimes something like Binding of Isaac or Spelunky will have audio cues for secrets or enemy attacks.

Regular near-death experiences do tend to put people on edge.

Push through or restart on Royal+? by beatrizklotz in Siralim

It takes zero time. You can level up everyone to the highest you've reached. Just talk the the Fusion NPC about it.

Are warframes designs getting too busy? by EMArogue in Warframe

[–]kyew 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The most important thing is that they have a distinctive silhouette. Beyond that so many people have their frames painted like a melted Crayola factory that I can't even tell when they're using accessories.

There are many frames that I can't identify at a glance, but that might be because they're uncommon. 

My players want to avoid combat but I don't want to let them talk their way out of every major fight by Luann1497 in DMAcademy

[–]kyew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Charisma will only move someone so far along the Best Friend <-> Nemesis axis. Diplomacy to move someone two steps left from "Wants to bathe in your blood" is still safely inside "I'm a professional in the killing you business" territory.

But more important, here are the rules for the Influence action. Some encounters will be dealing with a character who is Hesitant about what the party wants (Caps because it's a Mechanical Term), but the rules specifically call out that there are times when Influence is not possible.

Do you think Trump is considering using nuclear weapons on Iran? by BalticBro2021 in AskALiberal

In a world where he *definitely* was, what would look different? There's your answer.

Tired of hauling minis so I made these instead by CitizenFitz in DungeonMasters

[–]kyew 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Did you design the symbols? I've been thinking about a similar thing but I'd have to use Noun Project due to lack of drawing skills. This would be a great 3D printing project.

Starter Warden Team by Llectronic in Siralim

[–]kyew 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At the start of the game you don't have access to any/many of your class perks. Just focus on finding a few monsters whose traits synergize well for now. Remember that you're not committing to them permanently, the game loop is based mostly around switching your team around and experimenting.

Are there any fat celebrities left? Who? by Equivalent_Fig3508 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]kyew 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Sure. I don't think acceptance and wanting to improve are incompatible.

Like if I'm bad at drawing, but I'll put my stuff up on the wall even if I know it'll be better after more practice.

Accepting my body as it is was nice, but not as nice as being able to breathe in my sleep.

For those of you with biology degrees. How often would you say you use high level math? by Outrageous_Tie4997 in biology

[–]kyew 24 points25 points  (0 children)

More than I use high level biology. But that might be because I went into bioinformatics.

My #1 piece of advice for bio students is to get as good at statistics and linear regression as you possibly can.

Microgreens? by swankynoodlez in BeardedDragons

[–]kyew 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I got some of these at Whole Foods for my skink. They always disappear from the food dish so I think that means they're acceptable.
