All miniatures are now base coated and ~half are painted. At least until I get some more…

For uplifting, I like chill games where people are nice to each other.

Hades has you piece back together your family and has a lot of great dialog.

Carto is a cute puzzle game involving rearranging maps where you help people on your way back home.

Haven is a young couple trying to make it on an alien planet.

Children of Morta is a family fighting together against an apocalypse.

Dreamscaper is a rogue lite where you get mechanically stronger through self care as you work your way through trauma by hitting it in your dreams.

Ni no Kuni 1 and 2 are longer jrpgs in a Studio Ghibli style world.

Grandia is another jrpg that does a good job at capturing an adventurous spirit.

Lack of fedoras.

My 18 year old sphynx, Hairry, is doing well in his recovery from heart failure. Not as active as he used to be, but his appetite and thirst are at reasonable levels again and he’s able and willing to move with the sunbeams across the house.

Not the Bs!

But when the primer comes, we see all the lines we missed. Stay in sandland just a bit longer.

Also, a pox on people that make models with lines going through fingers, rope, and hair.

Goonies II already came out in 87 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Goonies_II

My 18 year old sphynx, Hairry, had congestive heart failure last Sunday, but I got him to a vet in time for them to help. He’s doing well on medications and I get some extra time with him.

The vet was an ordeal as their initial diagnosis was lymphoma and were going to give steroids. A friend that works there offered to come in on her day off, made them wait for radiology to report back, and figured out it was heart failure. If they had given him steroids, it would probably have killed him, so I’m extra grateful she gave him some extra attention and care. He still had to stay in an oxygenated kennel for a day and a half as the meds cleared the fluid from around his heart and out of his lungs.

All we need to know about Boba Fett is covered in MC Chris’s Fett’s Vette.

Really been enjoying Dark Winds.

Didn’t hit the suddenly stopped box truck on the highway. The giant pickup truck behind me did not hit me. Leaving enough space in front of me was skill, that the person behind me did as well was the luck.

I play boardgames where there are enough moving parts that replacing some with software improves them tremendously. Gloomhaven and Frosthaven have a bunch of tools for them to help setup, combat, track campaigns, etc., and they help tremendously.

There is nothing like that for Shadows of Brimstone. For a lot of things, there’s just too much data. I tried to make a script that automated the travel phase after missions which was pick the size of town, determine the number of hazards based on the number of characters and size of town, pick out the hazards, and display each in turn. The amount of text in it was just too much to be worth it. But even being able to replace the scavenge deck, loot deck, and exploration tokens would free up some table space and they’re less than a dozen possible outcomes each with only a small amount of text.

I’m sure there are other popular games that would be more conducive to having complexity automated. Finding one that won’t send a cease and desist might be a challenge, though.

Heading to a burlesque festival! Looking forward to it. And when I get back, painting miniatures with friends.

Respect boundaries. Even more so if you’re not a professional in how you want to help them, e.g. psychology, as you may do more harm than good.

My conversations here must not count, nor have they improved my opinion.

Oh, yeah, looked at comment history and it’s mostly going into threads and being miserable. I’ve got some empathy and sympathy for them, but also don’t need it in my life.

See a professional about that. I recently fixed my anhedonia and things are better. Things can be better than they are for you, too.

Ok.

Damn, dude, not every hunter is a deer population manager.

Hunters do hunting, surgeons try and heal people. In one the killing is the point and in the other the cutting in incidental.

Avoiding factory farmed animals but still eating animals is something a lot of people say to pat themselves on the back, but I don’t buy it.

Anyway, I can see this is a really personal thing to you and you’re really upset by it. Don’t think too much about why you get defensive about it, though, or why you have to carve out exceptions to try and make it less creepy.

Lol, come into a community about unpopular opinions, see people adverse to those opinions, get surprised and upset?
