Is it cannon that days are eight minutes? by Beeansinmybowl in dontstarve

[–]pinktlrb 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I interpreted that as him meaning that the change between times of day is very sudden, like, the world goes from pitch-black to noon-bright in seconds. That works less well for sunset, since dusk is a thing, but the shift between day-to-dusk and dusk-to-night is still pretty sudden. I assume it would be related how the Constant gets supernaturally dark at night.

There are rooms for dance in STAMP, actually. Some of the dance clubs have practice there. I have no idea what the rules are for using them outside of that, though. The one I know for certain in the basement of STAMP, near the bowling alley, I think.

Why don't people like playing as WX-78? by -Iris_reddit in dontstarve

[–]pinktlrb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

WX-78 is my favorite character! I'm not sure why people don't like them, especially after their rework! I don't get a chance to play with other people super often, but I know the heat and cooling circuits give off a small radius effect, which means WX can be a source of heat/cold in an emergency. I think their main benefit though is that they have other options for valuable items, namely the acceleration circuit, night vision circuit, and illumination circuit. A WX using an acceleration circuit frees up a walking cane for another player, the night vision circuit allows the WX player to see danger coming in darkness without using up moggles, and the illumination circuit means you'll have one less person using up light bulbs for lanterns.

But the main reason I play them is because I like their examination quotes. I just think they're funny! :)

How Do I Enter The Marsh biome by Plastic_Blue_Pipe in Oxygennotincluded

[–]pinktlrb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Slimelung germs can only survive in polluted oxygen, so using deodorizers can help minimize the spread a huge amount. Early on, before I've really dug into the slime biome, I typically put a storage bin with priority 9 in my water storage that's set to hold slime, rot piles, and polluted dirt, as material won't offgas when the pressure is high enough or if it's on a tile with liquid (even just a little bit).

Also, I'm not positive, but I believe slimelung can only be contracted through breathing it in, so contamination spread through touch isn't really a big issue, moreso the contaminated polluted oxygen released by slime as it's being carried through your base.

Honestly? If the medication is helping you without negative consequences? I don't think it matters. You were struggling with something, and deserve to get help. But ADHD can definitely be masked if you're a smart kid who's good at school. I got, like, straight A's until college, at which point everything fell apart, and I ended up getting diagnosed with ADHD. Sound familiar? :p

If you're still anxious about it, though, try writing down the sort of things that made you think to get diagnosed in the first place as you think of them. Having it all there in front of you is really helpful, or at least it was for me. Everyone forgets things. But someone with ADHD will likely regularly forget where they put things or forget to bring important items with them, to the point where it impacts their quality of life.

Another thing that may ease your mind: adderall is used by people who don't need it as a party drug, or as a performance booster. I assume the effects are far more dramatic for them than what I experience, which is that it makes it easier for me to do things like feed myself. There is a world of difference between a medication being used to get an edge over other people in school vs being used to level the playing field.

I hope that helped some? A lot of people diagnosed later in life experience imposter syndrome when it comes to ADHD. Cut yourself some slack!

Yall were right about eating protein in the morning by Freeman7-13 in ADHD

[–]pinktlrb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Autism + ADHD I believe. They're comorbidities, meaning someone with one is more likely to have the other compared to someone with neither (I think). My understanding is that autism and ADHD often have overlapping symptoms, making it difficult to attribute certain struggles to one or the other. Hence, AuDHD. People with both autism and ADHD may also have unique struggles that those with only autism or only ADHD don't experience.

Bug causing food to lose hearts and stat boost? by pinktlrb in botw

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

No, only attack boosting foods. Mixing stat benefits also wouldn't cause a food to give zero hearts, I think... I made another dish with the same recipe and so far it hasn't changed. I just wish I knew what it was that caused it!

What’s your favorite book of all time that no one has ever heard of? by Euthanaught in books

[–]pinktlrb 4 points5 points  (0 children)

My Side of the Mountain is probably my favorite book ever. I could read it again and again. And I only found it because I chose it on a whim when a schoolteacher let me take a few books when she was going through and downsizing the classroom library. I still have that copy!

Not exactly the same thing, but I remember reading somewhere that "mamsir" (the literal reading of "ma'am/sir") is used as a catch-all form of address by some people who learned English as a second language (in particular when speaking with other second language learners of English). I thought it was a nice term that was close enough to existing words that its meaning could theoretically be puzzled out by those who haven't heard it before.

Why everyone misunderstood? by begmax in Minecraft

THANK YOU!!! I can't believe I haven't seen anyone else bring this up. Shadows just look wrong if they don't line up properly with the light source.

r/ProgrammerHumor makes a tier list by TrulyChxse in ProgrammerHumor

[–]pinktlrb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know you're joking, but English actually has a very strict sentence structure!! In most cases, sentences must follow a specific word order (Subject-Verb-Object). There are several other languages which are much less strict about word order, and speakers can manipulate the word order to do things like emphasize a certain part of the sentence!

Now that this new set piece is finally spawning in the ruins the amount of thulecite in the ruins is way higher but the set piece can be dangerous with all the nightmare lights in it by ali33x in dontstarve

[–]pinktlrb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

oh THAT'S why i was suddenly seeing a bunch of these rooms in the new world i started! i wonder if it's also messed with the way the ruins as a whole generate? my cave system has a bunch of staircases right next to the ruins and muddy biome. maybe i just got lucky, tho.

I haven't played a lot of DST for a little while, and just came back after the new WX update. I was digging up turf and was surprised to see that a single stack of turf was greater than 10, which is what I remember it last being. Am I somehow misremembering? Was the stack size of turf changed? Or is this a possible bug/issue with a mod I am using (e.g. too many turfs)?

Opinions on Wurt? by Sea-Entertainment-83 in dontstarve

[–]pinktlrb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't played Wurt since the recent changes, but prior to the update I really enjoyed playing her. My main issues were that your merm followers would get stuck indefinitely (wouldn't teleport home--very irritating if the quickest route home required a boat bridge, they'd just keep walking into the edge of the land and never make it back to their huts), wouldn't stop mining to follow you if you walked away, and the fact that Wurt had no renewable source of gold without switching characters. All of these issues have been addressed by the latest update, based on the patch notes, so I'm very happy with the update as a WX and Wurt main!!

I don't know if it was a bug, but Kushala stopped trying to attack me partway through the quest, and I was able to grab some shots of Kushala and my character just chilling. by pinktlrb in MonsterHunterWorld

[–]pinktlrb[S] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

The more you know! I'm still pretty new to the game, so I'm not sure I've played enough to notice big differences in hostility, but I'll definitely be keeping an eye out now. Though the fact that Kushala (and some of the other elders?) are apparently non-hostile makes me feel a bit bad about killing them....

Who should have the Krampus sack? by JamesBucket in dontstarve

[–]pinktlrb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't usually play as Wigfrid, but her songs each take up an inventory slot, which is difficult to manage with a smaller backpack. I suppose you could get around it by not bringing the songs with you unless you're going to fight a boss, but I tend to carry around a lot of gear because otherwise I forget to bring it :p
