They must've noticed you're looking into ways to cook and eat puny amounts of food.

The Greasy Strangler was a much better movie than I expected. Charming in a lot of places, great dialog, hilarious moments.

Utena Still rewatching, still great, though I forgot how unbearable some arcs and episodes are. Killing Bites Christ the MC dude is unbearable. I like the general idea of the show (furry-mimi rasslin with mostly non-creepy fanservice), but some things grate. I swear out of every three words...

Mean pandering? Trump at a rally, obviously.

How old are your kids? Can you have a frank conversation with them where you're a human instead of Dad™? If having the dog with how you are is not sustainable, then either they step up their responsibilities semi-permanently or they make the decision to take it back. Bit of a false dichotomy...

I'm sorry you're going through this. It doesn't sound like either the dog or your family are getting much out of the relationship. If it's actually a no-kill shelter (and not just a not-much-kill shelter that advertises otherwise) then I don't see the downside to hopefully getting it rehomed to...

Damage from spending December in the vicinity of my mom's cooking wasn't too bad, 3-7lb of weight gain (after shedding the usual water weight). I'm back to where I left off, 174lb, and my BF% is somewhere around 25.4 (average from 9 measurements every other weigh-in). Year's goals are to...

Very cool.

Guess it's not for everyone. I try to make my table engaging enough that players don't mind the reduction in agency that comes with injury or death. I also make it crystal clear that if you can't empathize with your character and correctly gauge situational risk, they will probably end up dead...

Sometimes. What you described sounds like someone choosing to add "hardcore" health management to a team management game and then not accounting for it in a holistic manner--what you described is a very predictable design issue (what happens if the player screws up their roster/resources/flow...

I'm fond of the armor model in Unisystem. Location-based, soaks variable damage (lessened vs wrong type--e.g. bullets vs a stab-vest), has an optional durability system. Instead of adding temporary health, just have a gradient system for how well the character is performing. No amount of...

FTFY

It'd definitely have to be X-COM-style (probably much harder) when it comes to HP and recuperation times. Healthpacks/medic-magic break my immersion like whoa. Breaking those expectations is one of my favorite things when running present time-ish tabletop RPGs.

I have more free time lately due to [redacted] so I'm trying to catch up in anime. I'll be picking up current shows and slowly working backwards in time. Mahoutsukai no Yome (The Ancient Magus' Bride) is fantastic/amazing/yessss. Clearly good source material, but the people in charge of the...

Yeah, I watched my brother play GTA IV, I know it's a bit special. Thanks for the warnings, in any case.

Has one of your doctors given you an exercise plan? If not, what do you plan on doing?

I hate chryssalids (I think the ship was the mission I had to repeatedly rage-reload for in my first playthrough). Fire, explosives, and distance are your best bets. You can fail a mission or retreat with your troops, it's not the end of the campaign (but will take a shit on your panic meters).

Your odds (in the scenario) are those on the screen, it's just that the dice have already been cast. Pseudorandomness really isn't that unfair, it's just predictable (given the ability to rewind time). If this bothers you, maybe enable the Save Scum option when making a campaign--it should gen...
