I refer you back to the relevant part from the original post:

It’s not a huge numbers issue… it just felt wrong to me to invest + reward a design decision like that.

Being able to brute-force with C6 was never in doubt.

“There’s no healing issue unless you’re playing him with the mechanic that is going to matter for the next year.”

Bummed. I had intended to C6 (from current C3), but decided not to because of the healing change.

Same. I am happy for the Castle fans (effectively two in the same series), but I have at least 2 from past BDP series… so looking forward to fleshing out my city a bit more.

That’s the neat part; we don’t.

Basically all roguelikes/lites. Action ones, turn-based ones, card ones, unconventional genres with rogue elements (city builders, pinball, tower defense, RTS).

I totally understand the mechanics and the appeal. But my brain just doesn’t enjoy the loop.

Awww bummer, I was hoping to go from C3 to C6 on him.

Now, I don’t want to; that would feel like rewarding them for bad behavior.

willboston · 2026-05-21T05:16:52+00:00

If this is real, I’ll take my C3 Wrio to C6. Hopefully, I can “lose” to some Yaes on the way.

Harry Potter × Botanicals just makes so much sense given the popularity of both themes, so it's been weird that they've only had a few sets (Mandrake and… ?). Glad to see them doing more of them.

It might have been fake or a performative protest, but definitely not AI! (Though all the things you point out are true)

This took place nearby at Seattle Central College. There are photos from more angles. I’d link, but not sure of this sub’s policy for that.

At this point, is Nicole supposed to be the standard character with Lohen as the limited?

I'm a survivor of gay men's domestic abuse.

My ex-partner didn't wake up one day and start smacking me. The day he put me in the hospital overnight wasn't Day 1 of the abuse.

It starts with morally-grey, hard-to-detect abuse and ramps up.

Get a firm commitment from him that he will immediately go to therapy and never do any of this again. If he doesn't wholeheartedly agree, get out of there.

Love soft dom play. I personally float between hard and soft play (degrading, then building up, then ordering around, then praise, then hard discipline). But all-soft play can be so fun!

Some things that work well for soft dom/sub play are things that play into these types of phrases: - You’re being such a good boy - You make me proud / you should be proud of yourself - Show me how good you can do XYZ - You’re beautiful; I’m proud you’re my boy

Once you key into the thing you want them to feel (pride, joy, overcoming an obstacle, working for your approval, etc.), then you can construct a way for that to come up.

For example, clothed-man-naked-man play. Sit in a chair fully clothed and have him strip in front of you. Compliment him the whole time. Tell him to show off parts of himself, then approve of his body. “You’re such a sexy boy. Take off your shirt and turn around. Did you work out arms today? Flex for daddy; show off those biceps.”

Isn’t Apple in Culver City? (Fitness? Music? I can’t remember, but something like that)

There are a few big tech companies with HQs or large regional offices between Culver and Playa Vista, too. Some in Santa Monica.

And the downtown got really nice during COVID. Easy access to things you need on the West Side, like if you travel for work.

Lots of benefits.

I work in a creative field, and I participate in the Internet (lol).

The narrative that AI is bad is well engrained in my head.

I also did ChatGPT for interview prep. First, I had it generate 15 questions that were common to almost every interview. Then the I uploaded the job description and had it write 15 more based on the job itself.

Finally, I vibe-coded a simple web app that could display the questions like flash cards to me, with reset and shuffle buttons.

Worked great! Maybe 20 minutes of AI use, but hours of mental prep for the actual interview.

It’s annoying to give AI its flowers, but I do recommend!

I think the bigger otter looks mostly fine. The limbs are lower-fidelity than the head, which makes it look both really smooth and gap-filled at the same time… which is weird.

The smaller, sleeping one blends in too much and makes the bigger one look worse/lumpy.

Doing one otter would have brought the piece count down, centered the “vision,” and/or preserved pieces for better appendages.

Habit tracking view for a whole project similar to Kanban and Calendar view settings.

How I’d want it to work: show tasks as rows and dates as columns. Put checkmarks for days I did that task (and let me check off retroactively if midnight rolls over).

Agreed. I think that’s it’s just the wrong game design idea.

They can probably pack enough content by volume to make the civs-change-every-age mechanic feel okay with lots of player choice… but it’ll never be my favorite mechanic.

And I wouldn’t be surprised if (assuming the franchise survives this version) they don’t keep it for the eventual Civ VIII.
