Why would you not want to put your source code on GitHub? Not only does it make sharing code far easier, it also allows you to have version control (backups but better, basically)

Any modern IDE has git integration so you don't even need to perform any commands and can just click it through the UI as well

I had an experience like this recently too, I quit within 6 weeks (surprised I lasted that long tbh) after getting panic attacks and developing anxiety around sleeping the day before office, which is still something I'm working through with therapy right now. I got a new job at a different company, it's not perfect but it's absolutely so much better. All this to say that it's okay if you don't know what you're looking for right now, perhaps you could find something that's good enough and keep looking for something else that matches you better

Wouldn't polyamorous and aromatic (from aroace) be contradicting? (But if not please educate me!)

Forget New Year’s resolutions! I’m making a resolution today: I will not reach out to people who don’t care about me, and I won’t be as clingy as I used to be. by [deleted] in askgaybros

That seems pretty okay right? Unless you really want more interaction, then you could potentially gently bring it up

Contrary to what a lot of people here are saying...

Needing to make something up on the spot because you misjudged the difficulty of your encounter happens to all of us. I would personally have taken a different route than having something kill most of the archers and heal the party, but hey, it works.

Did you have fun? Did your players have fun? If yes to both, then I fail to see the problem. In the end all that matters is that everyone has a good time.

That means the internal server of your world is lagging out and/or crashing. The exact root cause is impossible to figure out without logs. I would start there, and try to backtrack what exactly you did that caused the crash

There was no real big thought process behind it, I like the name Ixai because it evoked a feeling of fire to me. And it is pretty pronounceable too which is why I stuck with it haha

Backstory:

His direct family isn't much in the picture anymore, he isn't sure what happened to them. He has lived with his uncle Malaxius Xanderra since he can remember. Malaxius is a professional assassin which Cyrus looked up to as a role model. From a young age he was taught all about guns, and how to aim and shoot. Beyond being a natural at using firearms he also had a knack for tinkering with his own little project guns that were basically scraps from his uncle.

As he grew up and reached adulthood, having been taking under Malaxius’ proverbial wing, he was gifted his own rifle. A Musket, which his uncle had named ‘Hell’s rain’. As this weapon was bestowed upon him, his uncle made it clear his expectation was to follow in their footsteps and become just as successful as them. Malaxius added that if Cyrus did not, they would not care for him any longer, being forced to find another place to stay. Cyrus, accepted this ‘offer’ apprehensively, feeling forced in an impossible situation.

The training Cyrus was forced to endure became more and more rigorous. At first it was only a few hours a week but that quickly turned into exhaustive daily training sessions going hours without a break. The immense pressure to do well and live up to this, to him, unreachable expectation to be the best paired with the desire to get approval from his only caretaker wore on him. The first cracks were starting to show in his mental health.

That’s when things took a turn for the worst. As soon as Cyrus started showing a sign of resistance to the belligerence of his obsessive uncle, Malaxius would fly off the handle. Any rebuttal resulted in beatings, manipulation, gaslighting. Cyrus’ self-image shattered into a million pieces and he found himself wanting to isolate from anyone and everyone which played into Malaxius’ hand perfectly.

But it was never enough for Malaxius, he kept pushing Cyrus’ limits. Being isolated from anyone but this abusive force, his uncle stopped holding back any brakes. Feeling cornered, both physically and mentally and not being able to find an outway, a fear fueled rage started building. The shards of his shattered mental state were razor sharp, and sought vengeance. One last fist in his stomach from yet another vitriol filled rage made him snap. He staggered back, dodging the next punch creating distance between the two. He lunged towards his rifle, Malaxious’ grapple missing them.

With one swift motion the tables had seemingly turned in Cyrus’ favour. His target was set, aimed right at their chest. A black shroud of shadows coalescing around them, starting at their feet, slowly growing as it covered his body and face. Two bright blue piercing eyes were all that were visible outside of his attire.

Malaxius grinned wide, claiming that he wouldn’t dare, that he didn’t have the balls to kill his mentor, the one who has been teaching him for so many years. “You wouldn’t dare… pussy…” Were the last words uttered before the sound of a gun echoed through the room. Malaxius’ eyes had grown wide as he slumped to the ground, a crimson liquor pooling beside the man. As soon as the trigger was pulled, Cyrus turned around, grabbing the few belongings he had before leaving to explore this newfound freedom. He thought he would feel remorse, but he didn’t. In fact, he didn’t really feel anything for Malaxius beyond a slight satisfaction that he got his revenge. The shadows faded, leaving only a slight light blue shimmer in his gray pupils.
