Food and upkeep are still a really weird thing. Almost every game puts some restrictions on how many things or people you can have. How do you deal with that junk. T has written junk about multiple food sources, but honestly that stuff looked really complicated.

What do you guys think we can do about that? Anything?

I applied for four jobs today.

May not sound like much, but first off it's draining, and second you have to do a new set of materials for each one. Took me hours.

I would like to learn SQL to expand my excel skills. I think it would help me out a lot. I also bet I'm not alone in this.

Does anyone here know SQL? Know how they learned it? How I and others like me here can?

So, I'm not sure quite how to put this.

I was considering trying to make a fictional place where people could, I don't know, feel happy, or at least content. Fictional space where you can sorta live a bit, at least in your head. There would be things you could own, and do. People to talk with etc.

It's kind of the "in the background" part of the standard RPG. I guess you could fight your standard monsters if you wanted to though. It might be sort of a hybrid writing project/game. The idea being you could come together with other players and chill out if you liked or not.

Have your own little imaginary home, places, and possessions. Dream it; want it; imagine it. You may not be able to have something in real life, but at least in your own little imagination maybe.

All of that would have to be in some kind of unifying theme so it wouldn't get too crazy. Since this is DF, you could have it be a dwarf fort or a medieval fantasy town or city. I'm not entirely sure. You don't want a spaceship next to a stone castle.... That'd get weird. It's also providing a bit of substance to normal games I guess? not sure.

Ideas?

I offered to show my dad the paperwork he needed to file, months ago. He yelled, screamed and actually growled at me, pretty threateningly.

Now the downsides of not filing that stuff are starting to come out and he's asking me why I didn't help him file the papers sooner....

Answer, "growling."

Nobody takes any responsibility for anything, even when that responsibility could have saved them and cost them nothing. When you growl at people, they tend to shy away from you.

People here get along, are lonely, and could use some talking with each other. There's a reason the sitcoms all show people hanging out and talking to one another....

It seems simple enough, but how would you actually do it? The idea would be to nicelt hang out and talk about whatever in a nice way.

Any ideas?

Thank you. I just find it hard to take when she's angry with me for "having a big secret!" I told her I can't "just tell her" how to "fix it."

That's like demanding a mechanic tell you how to fix your car. No matter what's wrong with it, no matter anything, and "don't need" the technical and diagnostic stuff but just need to know how to make it work. No idea if it's the same problem twice, etc.

Anything else besides the immediate unreasonable answer she wants is "bullshit!"


..... Really?

Like there's a magic make it work button and I'm just being a jackass and hiding it from you...?
