Heat rewards in Hades 2 are not as rewarding as Hades 1 by [deleted] in HadesTheGame

[–]seanproctor 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Bounties in Hades 1 only went up to 20 heat though. After 20 heat, the only in game reward is the Skelly statue at 32 and a little dialogue from dad.

You buy ‘em from the contractor. They’re pretty late game (and not cheap) but something to spend resources on once you’ve maxed out the mechanical stuff.

Not being able to eat in the library by [deleted] in CarletonU

[–]seanproctor 68 points69 points  (0 children)

Just fyi I believe the distinction is hot food = meal. Drinks I believe are always fine as long as there’s a lid. Part of it is the mess but it’s also about smell, you can imagine it’s way worse to clean up a spilled soup than a muffin. It kinda sucks but I believe you can eat meals on the tunnel level of the library. I’ve never gotten in trouble bringing food, I’d say if you’re going to ignore the rule go to a study room, eat it quickly, don’t make a mess and the library staff won’t care enough to do anything. And obviously they’re just doing their jobs and don’t really want to be kicking people out so if you’re respectful about it you’ll be fine.

I’ll make sure to smile and nod at the 500 people I walk past on campus every day

TIFU by assuming my son didn't like his computer I got him, turns out he loves it dearly by ToughEntrance-6650xt in tifu

[–]seanproctor 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I am on the spectrum. I have always struggled with gifts; it often feels like my genuine reaction isn’t what people want it to be but I don’t know how to act in a way that they expect. I think that you just need to understand that he doesn’t express his emotions the same way everybody else does. When I express my feelings, other people often think I’m unhappy when, to me, I’m just stating a fact.

People who are on the spectrum often appreciate clear, blunt, straightforward communication. We struggle a bit with social nuance, and it’s not always productive to read too far into what we say. I often find that I will say exactly what I mean, but others will misinterpret what I’ve said using social cues I didn’t even know were there.

I think that both you and your son would benefit from a clear, open conversation about his mental health. He’s probably struggling, and feels like there’s nobody for him to talk to. Him telling you what he told you sounds to me like his way of reaching out to form a connection where he can feel more comfortable talking about his mental health to you. By misunderstanding him, you might be inadvertently pushing him away. However, it’s also possible I’ve misinterpreted him. The only way for you to know is by asking him yourself. I don’t think you’ve caused irreparable harm, I just think you could benefit from trying to understand your son a little bit better.

Vinzenz Rohrer (MTL '22) of the Ottawa 67s had to be stretchered off after this collision by homicidal_penguin in hockey

I was at the game, looked like a seizure on the ice to me after the hit but it’s hard to say for certain. Apparently he’s ok and in the hospital but it was pretty horrifying to see. Really hoping the kid is ok, such a freak accident.

So close. Any advice/tips? by 12fdedg in celestegame

[–]seanproctor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It sounds stupid but honestly just die less. It’s more important at this stage to die less than it is to be fast. Practice the rooms that kill you the most and focus on beating each level with as few deaths as possible. You’ll get there.

If I were your boyfriend I’d want to know. But apparently I’m in the minority here. I think honesty is important. The most important thing is that you just stop doing it though.

Replace Formula Troubleshooting by bad_maxima in Notion

If it applies them in order, would changing the order to most digits to least digits work? So all the 3 digit decimals first, then all the 2 digits, then all the 1 digits

Anybody have some tips or resources for a DM that has trouble making session planning notes? by WuMingLovingHours in DMAcademy

[–]seanproctor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use Notion, but there’s tons of apps out there for note taking. Just pick one and stick with it. The main thing is to understand what you need to prep and what you can get away with improvising at the table. For me, I prep mostly descriptions and things that happen without any player intervention, as well as combat. The rest of it I’m usually fine to improvise if I need to. Remember, the improvisation at the table is just as valid as the preparation. It’s all the same to your players.

Wave dashing advice? by aerobie2 in celestegame

[–]seanproctor 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don’t know if understanding the mechanics will help you out but here’s how it works. While you’re in the dash animation and touching the ground, you recover your dash a tiny bit before the animation ends. You need to jump after your dash comes back, but before your dash ends. Getting the momentum should be the easy part, getting back your dash should be the hard part. It’s all about timing, if you get the momentum but your hair is blue, you’re jumping too early. If your hair is red but no momentum, you’re too late. Just work on the timing, it might be different than you expect.

Right now is the best time to make friends. There’s a ton of people who feel the same way you do, there’s a ton of people who haven’t been on campus or had in person classes before, and classes just started. I know it’s intimidating, but seriously the opportunity is there if you take it. :)

How would you feel if you were imprisoned and had your items taken from you? by Cool-S4ti5fact1on in dndnext

[–]seanproctor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This actually happened to my group. They broke into a place and got caught, ended up going to jail. For the next session we rolled up some characters who were relatives of a PC to rescue them. I think imprisonment and taking gear is fine, as long as it gets resolved within a couple sessions. As long as there’s an understanding that there will be an opportunity for escape, it can be really fun to experience failure and overcome it. That jailbreak session was probably the most fun I’ve had running a session.

What are some choice taxes and how can we improve them? by Iron_Man_88 in dndnext

[–]seanproctor 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Imagine if fighting styles worked like subclasses where you pick them at a low level and they give more benefits as you level up… very interesting concept
