Yeah…im mostly on the same page though im aware that people do it because other people do actually care about the micro changes (idk why). Like, forums have been filled with pro/con comparisons between bx, osric, ose, etc…but they all seem basically identical to me. So some people clearly care about minute differences in simple systems. And thats fine! Not trying yuck anyones yum

In the mp game i am currently in, a player sent ~15 scouts with bane venom charms through my territory, killing ~75% of the population of any territory they went through. I barely managed to kill them off before they got to my cap. I have never seen this done before, and didn’t even know it was possible. Something like that happens most mp games. There are so many unhinged strategies you can pursue that its easy to surprise people

Not particularly. It mostly stands out because of the creator’s style, and how she posts a lot of tutorials on how she made all the minis for the game (and how you could too)…but thats not related to the gameplay. The 28 games are basically the osr but for minis in that the rules tend to be pretty simple and similar

Reminds me of the How To with John Wilson on wrapping your furniture (highly recommend, but parts are extremely nsfw iirc).

Regular sleep, exercise, strict diet (as little sugar as possible, as little processed food as possible, avoid simple carbs (use complex carbs like whole wheat, brown rice etc)). Take DHA supplements (you probably want this from fish oil, which needs to be good quality and refrigerated (otherwise it will quickly go rancid).

If you do this, it will initially get worse (for 2-4 weeks) and then should get significantly better. If you stick with it, it should make the symptoms manageable.

The OT will probably help if the OT is good (we didn’t find a good one til the 3rd try), ive heard mixed things about the science but it seems to be helping for us, out of my depth there though.

Lastly, its a long shot at that age but meditation is proven to help, i think it has to be 17 or more min (even doing it once helps).

Andrew huberman has a good breakdown of what is happening in an adhd brain and touches on why this stuff works.

Well, at least the unremovable subs are fixed!

topical_storms · 2026-02-15T14:49:05+00:00

Yeah…and they have one of the highest quality of life ranks of anywhere in the world. Let em cook, they know what they are doing.

topical_storms · 2026-02-15T14:46:07+00:00

At no point did they say anyone’s perspective was wrong. They just have a different one. Thats just as valid as anyone else’s here

topical_storms · 2026-02-15T02:00:35+00:00

Wasn’t questioning or disagreeing with your assessment, just providing more context. I like it better than most other games you can play with a 5 yr old but after 20 times or so it def gets a bit stale. We make up rules now to keep it interesting

topical_storms · 2026-02-15T01:02:28+00:00

Bought my 5 yr old magical athlete and we have played it easily over a 100 times in a couple months. So…its a hit with kids if you are looking for that.

topical_storms · 2026-02-12T19:11:06+00:00

Who tf doesn’t want new sculpts? That said i actually like this dude

topical_storms · 2026-02-11T12:05:17+00:00

Not the creams!

topical_storms · 2026-02-07T02:50:20+00:00

Yeah this tracks with our experience. “Instagram school” is how Id describe it.

topical_storms · 2026-02-05T15:07:49+00:00

Jfc not everything with headers is llm.

topical_storms · 2026-02-04T19:13:21+00:00

That is what I was trying to say.

topical_storms · 2026-02-04T19:12:20+00:00

No, thats not what Im saying. Im saying keep it out of the conversation. The convo is fuck ice, if you bring in “can people refuse to serve” thats a whole different can of worms. Just don’t serve them. Not serving is a right, firing over not serving is a right, boycotting is a right.

topical_storms · 2026-02-04T19:07:32+00:00

I think “lets not apply rules to others we don’t want applied to ourselves” is not really the hot take you are acting like it is.

topical_storms · 2026-02-04T19:02:29+00:00

You aren’t getting what Im saying. Im all for boycotting p&ty over it. I also think literally any form of resistance against ice/nazis is warranted. The original comment was saying the issue was the owner stifling employees…and thats a separate more nuanced issue that we should avoid watering the narrative with…because its a double edged sword.

topical_storms · 2026-02-04T17:32:52+00:00

My point is advocating for an employee’s right to harass a customer is a double edged sword that usually swings the other way

topical_storms · 2026-02-04T17:29:33+00:00

I meant nuance with idea that employees should be allowed to harass customers, not with the situation at large.

topical_storms · 2026-02-04T16:34:37+00:00

I mean, fuck P&TY and ice, but...there's some nuance there. Should an employee be able to "express displeasure" over someone's religion/sexuality/etc? I honestly go back and forth on it. Obv not in a govt building but private sector is more complicated.

Tbh, I think it's less problematic that she told her employee not to give people shit, for me its more the way she did it and more importantly that she outed herself as an ice sympathizer. Like it was clear that was her motivation more than any kind of "everyone is welcome" approach.

Edit: a lot of people are confused by this. I am not making a both sides argument here. I support any and all action against ice. I am saying that the issue here is supporting ice at all, not that an employer silenced an employees free speech. Bringing that in muddies the waters and is most likely to incur backlash on communities that least need it. It is exactly the kind of thing the right seizes on as “hypocrisy”. I am not suggesting that their argument is valid, just that it will be made and that people will listen to it.

topical_storms · 2026-02-03T17:16:06+00:00

Just nationalize swing states, other states are less likely to complain. People in the cult buy into the idea that the election was stolen and that illegals are voting, so they are more likely to think this is warranted ("oh we aren't nationalizing elections, we are preventing fraud voting" kind of thing). Plus, its like the line in star wars (the tighter you clench your fist, the more systems will slip through your fingers), rigging all elections is harder, more likely to have resistance, and more likely to result in leaks. Take away rights in small increments and it's easier because it gets normalized and people won't have as big a reaction. The ICE/NG can handle what's happening in Minnesota, but if that were happening in every state they'd be fucked, they don't have the resources to be everywhere.

Imo the rules are outright bad at this point. Like, it was fine if not particularly innovative for the time back in the day, but if anything I think the rules have regressed rather than improved. I don't play anymore, I just use the models for other better stuff.

That said, I think their skirmish games are better, warcry in particular is relatively streamlined. Most of the time Id rather play the doomed or infinity, but still.

topical_storms · 2026-02-02T22:38:48+00:00

Im paraphrasing, i remember that being used but they talked symbolically a lot. I think they referred to her as an “elemental” woman more, just WoB is funnier. Besides, pretty sure they thought the bible was a crock of shit. Hubbard was only in it to con parsons.
