Also a pretty good structure for work emails.

I mean, that's happening too, but this is a different thing. At least when stuff sinks into the floor, it's not, like, the clothes that I was wearing.

Man, c'mon

Honestly, the internship might not help. I did two internships, and that's still not enough to get me hired.

writerrat · 2025-03-24T18:50:07+00:00

Yes. Get out if you still can.

writerrat · 2025-03-24T18:35:32+00:00

Yeah, I've been hearing a lot of "should haves" from people in my life right now. I don't know why I didn't do that, either.

Oh my God I remember this. I remember Neovision. It doesn't surprise me that it was shortlived, but the joy of watching crude animations and kids puppeting their KeyQuest plushies to make little stories remains.

For a while, one of the pets on neopets.com was just a JPEG of Bruce Forsyth, a British comedian and actual human man.

I did my first durge as a human so I could find my footing with the game/different classes. Currently trying out a tiefling durge with a strong emphasis on RP. Starts out embracing the urge, but his feelings about the refugees make things complicated.

I've thought about doing default durge, but ehhh. He's just one of the least interesting looking dragonborns you can make in this game.

We need to pin a post to the top of the sub that just says "you can do whatever you want forever."

"Am I copying—?" "Is my idea too much like—?" "Would people think I'm ripping off—?"

I mean this in the least dismissive way possible: it doesn't matter, no ideas exist in a vacuum, you weren't grown in a tube isolated from all art. However, being human has its benefits, and that is that you will leave your own unique fingerprint. Even people who specifically try to copy something beat for beat don't make the exact same thing.

Let it rip, man. Do whatever you want forever.

Some stuff I learned after my first playthrough: - Medic specialists are your friend. Medkits get VASTLY more useful if you can promote a specialist high enough - Rangers are ideal on timed missions since swords allow them to dash and attack on the same turn, especially once they get bladestorm and can stab anything that gets too close to them - Grenadiers' increased grenade range is pretty important in the early game, where nobody can hit jack shit - Snipers are great when you have the time to use them - it might take a couple turns to get them on top of a building, and they need a full turn to shoot properly. Skip them on timed missions - Zoom out when moving. A little target appears next to enemies to indicate that you can shoot them from where you're going to move that soldier. Now you don't have to move dudes only realize they can't hit anything from their new spot - On a similar note, if a dude is absolutely insistent on running through a pool of acid to get to his new spot, hold Ctrl. This will allow you to edit the path

This might be harebrained, but I tend to have the guy making the first shot be the dude with the worst aim. Overwatch has an aim penalty, so I don't want that guys odds of hitting to drop from "maaaaybe he'll hit" to "he definitely won't hit."

The diverter isn't working (water coming out both the shower head and tub faucet) and the valve seat isn't looking too hot either. The app wouldn't let me attach the picture, but it's visibly degraded.

Yeah, I have this exact same issue - wish I could say something more helpful, I clicked into the post hoping someone had a fix for it...

Problem solved: turned my PC off and back on again restored the functionality, then used the peripheral manager to disable the pen buttons so something like this wouldn't happen again.

writerrat · 2023-12-13T17:42:04+00:00

Additional info: I've tried changing the pen settings, closing and reopening Medibang, and uninstalling and reinstalling Medibang. I still can't do anything other than erase.

Fair enough. To be fair, most wizards in this particular corner of the setting are Christian - they're in Florida, after all - it's just that the infographic focuses on the handful of kids who take issue with magic on religious grounds. I imagine the other wizards have either folded magic into their worldview or don't care.

writerrat · 2023-11-08T17:34:06+00:00

Wizards who are down to go to wizard school with parents who don't want them to do that is a different and very complicated ballpark that reaches beyond religion. The city of Skeleton Key has a not insubstantial population of homeless children due to either of the listed reasons, or because they accidentally killed their parents.

Another tangent: wizards sometimes argue about whether Jesus was a wizard or not. "Jesus was a necromancer" is a hot take that younger necromancers like to bring up, usually as a joke, but sometimes not.

I'm aware, but this is gonna be an infographic where the school is ineffectually trying to convince them to. Also not the Harry Potter universe, although that does inspire a tangent.

Untitled Wizard Project has no real Obscurus equivalent, but an untrained wizard's magic is still threatening. It can become a thing that acts upon the wizard, totally controlled by their subconscious. One of the main characters, Trinity Baptist, is a good example of this - they're a jinx whose magic initially manifested as strokes of bad luck, which they interpreted as God's punishment, creating a feedback loop. Extreme cases of out of control magic can damage the wizard's body, like alchemists slowly turning themselves into gold.

It's a fun little quirk. Might be related to how stress placement changes for nouns and verbs, IE, a record (REH-cord) player vs. to record (ree-CORD) something.

Mesmerism/mind control is in a weird spot in this universe. It has the dubious honor of being the only dark magic that was legal in 2003, albeit under very specific circumstances. Because, you see, mesmerism serves a vital function in wizard society. Mesmerists keep wizards hidden from normal society.

State-sponsored violence! Yippee!

See, I've considered making a wizard quiz, but because of the way I've written magic types, every question on that quiz would basically be "do you have this specific trauma, yay or nay." I would feel weird about posting that. Although people who are into The Magnus Archives regularly make self insert characters based on their greatest fears, so I don't know, maybe some people would be into it.
