Damn and I thought dragons were cool...

It is a large part of why I have just gotten used to figuring out my own problems. Which is not a bad thing, problem-solving is a valuable skill. Sometimes though I would have liked some insight or suggestion on how to approach a solution and then figure out how to make the solution myself.

But does that old raid boss pet still bug out instances if you use it? That was fun in Cata and Legion when I played WoW for a bit.

I think it must have been the 1993 re-release. I would have been 6 at the time so yes, very scary. While I haven't actually had a good reason to rewatch it since I got older I wonder if part of that initial impression has made me hesitant to rewatch it as well.
(I enjoyed Maleficent in KH though!)

My first memory of seeing a movie was seeing Snow White as a very young kid. Maleficient *terrified* me.

I experience this when I have anxiety from my insomnia. Under the blankets, too hot. Without the blankets, too cold. Although sometimes here my issue is more with humidity than the the temperature.

People also just need to normalise liking a thing despite acknowledging the flaws and parts of it that could have been better. Life is filled with accepting and working around imperfections, play should be as well.

I was taking Zoloft for a few years, but then due to a few things it stopped working for me. Now I take an SRNI. If your medicine isn't effective then something else might help you hopefully!

Although it is funny when it becomes clear the training data had a *bunch* of furry art and suddenly the output has some random horny elements in something that's probably not intended to be horny.

Can I get some boring times where people are kind and respectful to each other, and not much really happens? That seems like a very attractive alternative right now, and I live in Australia which isn't remotely a hotbed for any interesting events right now.

Anyway the younger generations are doing alright. I suspect my generation was fine as well, and it was just entitled people complaining about anything and everything as adults more than any meaningful difference in generations attitudes and manners.

Mostly when they start. Tonight I had dinner with my parents and brother, but the time I got given was "when your brother arrives". Which is extremely non-specific because we're both adults and I don't know if he's working from home or not, or if he's got to do something on the way for example.

As someone who spent a week with a nasty cold and now 3 weeks later am FINALLY kicking the congestion and nasal drip I will not begrudge anyone whining for being sick right now.

Perhaps I shall not remain in this village overlong. I have concerns now over where they source their food.

The thought of sinking so much money to be the best in a game that has such a limited life span, or to get the high rarity items or characters because of your affection for the franchise is such a strange idea to me. But maybe I'm just not rich enough to spend that disposable income and not worry.

He spent a whole ten hour shift shirtless and with only a towel? Exhausting indeed. Let the man rest!

I think I found you through the Steam official stream for Caves of Qud a couple of years back!

That's definitely a good idea with a relatively small amount of people that you need to credit! If you have some sort of cinematic or animation in your credits you can also act out some of the stuff that's harder to show like sound and music.

If there was a simple, quick and satisfying answer I am sure that we would see it being used. I suspect that it also depends on a lot of factors, the scale of the staffing for the project and the level of interactivity of the game come for example. Maybe next time I'll pay more attention to credits.

But I wonder with these methods how many people pay attention to the credits? It feels that many ignore or glaze over the names going by. People might check out actors & department heads, but will they take note of someone 20 lines of names deep into extras? Or someone doing post-processing on CGI?

I am aware of some ways to incentivise not skipping. For example making the credits sequence interactable, have a minigame, or by putting cinematic content in there to encourage people to watch out in full. Post credit scenes in movies are an example of how that media incentivises audiences to stay.

I think they're both fairly rad, so you've got a follow from me.

"Mum, can I have another Carthage?"

While there's a decent risk a primary news provider will be presenting AI content as human content, in this case it was about bushfires in my state in Australia and the ABC website and government emergency services are still fairly trustworthy as far as I am aware.

If that logic held up there'd be so much less right wing people as well.

Talking to friends who are playing it it sounds like the devs had a very different idea as to what they wanted the challenge to be than the average player, and it's taking a bit to smooth out both sides of that equation.

I've been enjoying your drawings. Your characters have lots of personality and are expressive.

I am imagining sect histories in the vein of Qud's sultan histories. "In 702 the head of the discipline department of the Taiyi sect married Fulan, queen of tapirs, and tapirs were forever after welcomed as disciples of the Taiyi sect."

Don't get me wrong, it's fun to occasionally be a little bit horny with my glam but that's more in the idea of fit people liking to show off their fitness and not in the sense that most other people playing a male Hrothgar are definitely aiming towards!
