Karateka, along with everything else Jordan Meschner did following it, starting the Prince of Persia series.

It’s a nice evolution of personal style.

I’ve more or less dropped out of mainstream gaming so have no idea how the more recent Prince of Persia games play, nor if he has any involvement… but anyone who knew the original games should understand that these games did something foundational with movement and interface, helping the player to feel involved in the action.

Watching it now. I’d learned of it from a YouTube series analyzing similar movies called Goodnight Rita.

Yup.

I wouldn’t think any of those are particularly valuable, but nice to have sure.

I have a couple of the same first edition d&d books: My dad’s from when he ran a campaign for us when I was seven years old. So glad I have 'em still. I run a biweekly campaign with my dad, aunt, uncle, and cousin’s husband. (And also play in one run by said cousin’s husband, same group.)

I actually know a Dan McPhee.

It’s just a mistake, there’s no point in beating yourself up over it at all.

Try to find a way to laugh it off and either cancel or have a fun time doing something else in the area.

Your mistake is an embarrassing inconvenience. Nobody is hurt, nobody lost their job, you aren’t fired, evicted, or divorced.

Take a deep breath. Self-forgiveness is a skull worth practicing, lest you poison your memories with regret.

Not necessarily. Sales taxes, payroll taxes, and income taxes are all paid by people who are living somewhere while not being an immigrant with a visa or the like.

Undocumented immigrants already pay more in taxes while not being eligible for most benefits programs.

This isn’t about a rational solution, it’s racism.

My feeling is that sex offenders should get life, and a relatively comfortable prison life, in exchange for no possibility of parole.

If you know what you are and choose to act on it, no second chances.

Believable shower thought… wanting to go back to bed.

I’d give it a shot, but I honestly leave my home only once a week, which makes these types of games less appealing to me.

I almost never travel either.

I’d still play a game that let me use/invest in local resources generously, and unlock more areas with travel.

I’d never be competitive in such a game, but I’m comfortable with that.

What works for you, works for you.

It may be possible to slowly wean yourself off of these behaviors that are worrying you. If it’s down to once a month, there isn’t as much of a jump to zero times a month, but maybe sometime. And then once it’s been a year, congratulate yourself for that and keep going.

Habits are hard to break and much easier to fall into. But if you are more conscious of these decisions, it all becomes a little bit easier with time.

That kind of mindfulness is a skill that is hard to develop, but your post leads me to think you’re already on your way.

That’s a tactic I’ve seen widely used, especially by the assholes we are talking about.

Words have meaning to us, and fascists love that because they are not beholden to any truth at all.

Ah, then I guess I don’t know how to interpret that.

Maps cannot answer that question.

Genealogy could, but has its downsides.

Stewed beets are delicious, and beet greens are quite tasty too. A nice addition to any garden.

Now that is a good shower thought!

Hour by hour, my job evolved from taking calls from clients who owed us money, to then answering questions from agents who weren’t as skilled at it as I was.

In the process of being promoted, I was asked to join a daily meeting of over 100 people talking about the issues affecting our department.

Once in a great while, something came up in that meeting that gave me the heads up to prevent chaos in our department and stress to members.

There’s a whole shitload of cogs turning in modern corporations. There’s also a huge danger of people leaving and nobody understanding why the cogs are there.

My Dad is a Buddhist, so I have some knowledge and respect for that philosophy/faith.

But yes, he was a hippy too.

And I think he would agree that this question is poorly formed at least. But then I’ve never heard my Dad talk about chakras either.
