Ds2 was a 10/10 game. Unfortunately ds1 was like 25/10 making ds2 look like dogshit in comparison. If it doesn't bother you to ride a 2 minute elevator upwards to an underground lake of fire though (or other "they clearly didn't think about the map or ambient storytelling" moments the game has), ds2 is great. I will never stop being salty about it though, I have never been let down by a game more than I was by ds2 on release

The username Canada plus implies that Canadians are generally shaped like a plus (+), which is incredibly ableist towards Canadians with no arms

I think tempeh is hard to cook with if you're not used to it. I cut out most of any acidic ingredient if I'm cooking with tempeh because it tastes pretty acidic already imo, but I hated it before I figured that out

Make a distinction between teachers and researchers, require actual teaching skills/qualifications for teachers. It's infuriating to pay 6 figures a year in opportunity cost to be in grad school to be "taught" by a handful of researchers who are mia 3/4 of the year and still don't really give a shit about teaching the other 1/4

At first glance I thought this was a cpu with an unholy amount of thermal paste on it, I am so pleasantly surprised by your tale of port repair

I had a run with the greaves on swiftthistle and a +3 wand of regrowth recently. Wishing I had put some challenges on that run, because I made it all the way down and back to the top using only a single health potion the entire run

Do you have a strategy for using the spellbook? I've picked it a few times and got it to like +2 or +3 before, but it always feels like I'm wasting scrolls on an artifact that's too random to be useful

Checks out. I used to work at Jimmy johns as a delivery driver, and almost every Friday without fail I'd get an order from a Michelin restaurant at like 430pm before they opened. Loved that delivery

Tfw you look better bald but regularly let shitty patchy hair grow out because I'd rather look dumpy than like a skinhead

 

I'm currently working on a PhD, and I had a meeting that felt like an intervention with my advisor where she encouraged me to take a few months away from the program to take care of myself. For context, I used to work for the airforce, and apparently I picked up some pretty severe mental health problems that have lead to not sleeping and panic attacks when I read papers about military hardware (not ideal when my current interest is hardware side cybersecurity).

What the fuck does "take care of yourself" mean? Like, I don't know what to do with my hands. I've spent my entire life with a fast paced schedule, either with school work or some other crisis I've needed to attend to. Now I'm like... trying to accept going to therapy and I'm doing yoga with some people in my research group a few times a week, but i don't know what to do with my time otherwise. I feel like smoking all of the weed in this state playing video games and rotting in bed isn't the answer, but that's where I'm at. I'd love any advice or to hear from anybody who's been in that position of being told to take a few months off for mental health
