there’s a content creator in the board game scene (makes game review and how-to-play videos mostly) who goes by Bebo. that image does look kinda like her. her YouTube channel

I’m in the U.S. Eastern time zone, so like 8 or 9 am your time would be the middle of the night for me, which would be ideal, but honestly 10 minutes of downtime in the afternoon (this update will be 4 pm my time) isn’t going to hurt. you do the work running the server, you should do updates when it’s convenient for you.

former philosophy instructor here. that’s exactly what I used to do with my introduction to philosophy courses.

oh that’s interesting. I was under the impression that a GP wouldn’t prescribe simulant meds without sending me to a psychiatrist first. I’ll have to talk to my GP about it then. I haven’t discussed it with her since I came off atomoxetine.

I don’t mean to be an aggressive anti-capitalist (but I’m gonna), but the suggestion that the solution to “dopamine addiction” is to “throw yourself into your work” makes me extremely suspicious.

there are some print-on-demand card and game manufacturers that might be less expensive than you think. I’m a hobbyist game designer and I’ve used thegamecrafter.comthegamecrafter.com as well as makeplayingcards.com to have custom cards printed, and it wasn’t particularly costly.

but if those services do charge more than you want to spend, the thing I recommend most strongly is that whatever stock you decide to print on, cut them with one of those sliding-blade paper cutters. don’t try to cut them with scissors. they’ll come out a lot more even.

I’m perpetually pleased by the Verge’s vendetta against Reddit. fuck spez.

that reminds me, I failed to mention that I played both Divinity games on console. they work perfectly well (even if inventory management is a bit of a bummer) on console

my understanding is that BG3 is more similar to Larian’s earlier games, Divinity: Original Sin 1 and 2 (which, full disclosure, I’m a big fan of). so if you want an inexpensive PC game that’s likely to have a similar feel, mechanically, those games have been around a long time and are still well worth playing (if you ask me).
