I message my wife when I get to work and when I’m leaving. So somewhere between an hour and 7 or 8 depending on exactly when in my day I get nabbed for her to notice.
My work colleagues would probably try to call me if I didn’t turn up (I’ve fallen off my bike before so they might suspect that) but I don’t think they would put out a police report immediately if I just didn’t turn up one morning.
I have a rough idea of my outgoings each month as compared to my income and I just make sure I don’t spend more than I earn at least most of the time.
My wife occasionally sits down and does a proper budget so we can move around recurring payments and make sure we keep things fair.
Either a whole load of books, fiction, tabletop RPG sci-fi. I would also need to buy more bookshelves to put these on.
A decent upgrade to my computer, maybe a new graphics card.
A sword or two, some better protective kit for sparring.
34 male. Grew up with 3 siblings. Always wanted kids when I was younger. As I got older, met my wife and started living together we had lots of discussions about kids. She was never really interested in them and the whole pregnancy and giving birth thing terrified her.
On lots of reflection I realised that I was only interested in kids because of family and societal pressure, I think the world is over populated and generally heading downhill (fascism is massively on the rise globally, global warming, various wars) so decided that I didn’t want to bring a child into that.
There’s plenty of children in the foster system so if we change our minds later we can adopt and give a good home to a child that needs one.
No. Chavs were the school bullies for me growing up so I get a pretty strong visceral ewe from that style choice.
My Dad’s gone totally off the rails conspiracy theory nutty.
Fake moon landings, fluoride in the water is mind control, vaccines cause autism and maybe microchips and mind control again, foreign people are simultaneously lazy stealing benefits and stealing all the jobs, my god the racism. He fell into an echo chamber during COVID and hasn’t come out again.
The best one was when I was telling him as a healthcare professional on the front lines watching patients and colleagues die that COVID was serious and we should take any opportunity to avoid it and make it better, he told me it was just flu and all fake news.
Yeah I don’t talk to my parents much anymore.
I might be reading this wrong but I’m not convinced it helps. My read of this is basically we get 1 free go at surviving and can send messages back to the start point for the second go to try and survive.
You could keep a running commentary of what you’re doing and where you’re going which would give you a little bit of notice of where and when you die but unless you can time loop and continually adjust the plan until you find something that works I don’t see how knowing 1 point of failure is enough to keep you alive.
Maybe someone smarter than me has a better idea though, or I’ve got the prompt wrong.
I work in a hospital so: scalpels, oxygen bottles/ wall supply explosions (hard to do without disabling the safety’s which I don’t know how to do), plenty of radiation sources in the building, loads of dangerous drugs from sedatives to painkillers to chemotherapy. If I’m lucky the monster might just die of MRSA or pneumonia before they get to me.
But those days where you just relax and enjoy yourself count as good days so that’s ok too.
I love Iron Sky for this. Nazis on the moon. It’s satire all the way through. Such a goofy film but a lot of fun.
I love my onyx. I use it for running RPGs, it’s great for taking notes and reading pdfs. Plus as it’s still running android you can run regular apps and browse. It’s a more focused experience than a general tablet but I’d say worth the money for my use case.
I got myself an Onyx boox e ink tablet for note taking. I don’t know if it’s what you’re looking for but it runs android and writes beautifully. Good battery life with the e ink. I love mine. It is more expensive than an equivalent standard tablet though and no back light on my model.
Such a great game. We really enjoyed our time with it. The boss fights were harder than I expected but quite manageable after a few attempts.
Yup yup. This is perfect. Sends me right to sleep.
I love the little orb thing it’s very cute ☺️.
I love that game, I’m bad at it but it’s a really chill experience. Until it all goes wrong.
I always enjoy a monkey’s paw type deal. I hope your players enjoy discovering how it all goes wrong.
Don’t leave us in suspense like that, what’s going to happen with the wonder?
This sounds like an amazing project and a great way to spend time with your kid. Good for you.
UK resident: pretty sure you can’t dictate to your employees what they do on non work time unless you pay them on call wages. Ie be here and wear this. I guess you could write it into the contract and see if someone signs it but I don’t think it would hold up.
