How’s the doom port coming along? /s

Looks really neat!

I don’t think it’s really profound but ‘perception is reality’. How a person perceives something is what they think is true and real, even if it isn’t.

For me, it’s also putting something into my calendar (specific time) or to-do list (no specific deadline – this is mostly for shopping and a second one for ideas). After that, if I think of something I try to do it right then if I can complete it or make measurable progress against it to avoid procrastination. Finally, physically putting things in places I can’t ignore so I don’t forget them (or a post-it in place, but that’s more risky).

My mom smoked until she got pregnant with me. I imagine my dad did as well, but not really sure.

I thought southern US or similar as well instinctually (I lived in Texas for a number of years and have seen other places), but I couldn’t really justify it.

Outside (or maybe in a painting? I can’t tell if it’s just lighting/filter or what). Near what is probably a museum, gallery, or some other public building. Likely not somewhere that gets frequent earthquakes as I see brick-and-mortor buildings (though it could be otherwise reinforced in a way I can’t see). Presumably by what looks to be a small retention pond, some place that could have flooding issues in rain. I don’t know the trees or light poles well enough to get anything out of those.

Aside from the obvious things mentioned about flow, maps, immersion, etc., and to address some of the other things I’ve seen in the comments: configurability. Realize that not everyone will have the same physical abilities, skill, and/or time to play. Give options to people who want to tweak things to be more difficult and likewise for those who want it easier and more accessible.

Then it would be a game I never touch; when there’s no other way to learn than by dying, your game has failed in my opinion. I shouldn’t have to beat my head against some pattern that I can’t discover through lore or elsewhere in the game. I’m in my 40s and used to game competitively in the early 2000s, FWIW.

I never completed Breath of the Wild in large part due to getting something cool and just having it be worthless and broken soon after. I also tend to have very little time to devote to gaming so it just felt like a waste to have to stop, go hunt down something better than randomStickLevel3, and go back to do something again.

If I wanna hoard things or risk a lot to get something cool/strong early, that’s my decision; why do you get to dictate how I play a game? Especially true when some people may not have the same physical ability as you and need to make certain situations play out differently.

In middle school, I was in learning disability class and the gifted program at the same time. In retrospect, the LD was probably just due to organizational ADHD stuff. I was first diagnosed ADHD in the early '80s, but my parents didn’t tell me until 20-something years later.

I got sent to saturday school at the high school when I was in 4th grade (which meant my mom having to cancel anything and drive me there to a place I’ve never been leaving me in complete horror) because I would finish my work and couldn’t just sit still and do nothing. My mom asked them to give me more work to do and the teacher refused.

It’s 2025 and I have no idea what the current way to center something is. Then again, my job is that of a backend engineer so it’s rare I’m outputting anything that isn’t a log statement. They can pry tables and center tags from my cold, aging hands.

inconsistency of shortcuts between apps (even things like terminal, where I spend a fair bit of time). I find copy/paste physically uncomfortable to do. Various jankiness around docker (can’t use docker-desktop or the UI, which worked fine, because no license, but trying colima and various things, some of our projects just will not run on m1 or m3) is another pain point. Also just shortcuts and workflow in general (some of which is apparently because I keep the laptop closed and only use an external monitor; I can’t use any shortcut keys to change within windows of the same app (Chrome, for instance)). There’s more.

I hate how ctrl+home works because it almost never does what decades of use in windows/most linux window managers told me it should do and goes to the top of the whole page instead of the top of whatever input has focus. Terminal doesn’t even seem to have this (I can do something like win ctrl+direction_arrow with option, but in terminal 99% of the time where I want to be is at the head of the line).

You roentgent a contradictory response out of me, even if you try to Curie favor.

Microplastics? Nah. Macroplastics? hell yah.

If I eat a lot of certain aliums and/or spices, you will definitely find it radiating out of me.

If my work computer counts as an appliance, then that (I have been using a mac for 2 years now for work and am hating nearly every moment of it).

Other than that, I’m not really sure I have one.

In my mid-40s and this is more-or-less what I think as well.

I would note that vacationing somewhere and living there are two different things. I came to Japan a few times before moving here (and failed my first time at living here due to visa issues). Even after moving, there’s a honeymoon period and things eventually just become normal. In other words, there are two things to keep in mind: don’t over-hype anywhere and build it up too much in your head or you’re asking for trouble and any problems you that aren’t physically confined to your home will follow you eventually so be sure to work on that separately.

That said, it’s certainly possible to move across the world. Break any goal down into achievable chunks of individual items that need to be done and track progress against that. Good luck!

but most MAGAs I know personally believe that Fox news betrayed Trump, and they’ve switched to watching Newsmax.

I definitely have family that think this.

Most soy sauce contains gluten and almost everything contains soy sauce. So, it’s actually somewhat difficult if that tiny amount causes issues. The good news, though, is that food labeling laws are pretty good for stuff you buy yourself, so looking for 小麦 on labels to avoid them works. A lot of people do struggle, though. Most of the Japan-focused subreddits never moved over here, but they do contain threads about the topic as well if you search.
