I don't think there's a native in-game means to pause, no, but there's almost certainly external means. I don't have the game to test it, but I conjectured a bit back somewhere or another that suspending the process (which process explorer, at least, can do pretty trivially) would be an easy(ish) way to pause the game while you're doing something else, assuming the game reacts well to the process. Binding a suspend command to a key or coding up a script of some sort to do the same wouldn't really be all that difficult to do, I don't think, and at that point it's just a matter of tying it in to the command input process.

Just keep trying, owlga. Depression can take years to clear up, especially if the person suffering from it isn't medicating for it. Sometime's it's just flat lifelong, and all you can do is do what you can to keep the symptoms down and keep on trucking on. Help how you can, support where you're able. Being in a relationship or trying to help someone that's depressed is an incredible strain in and of itself, because it's a long and difficult process that can easily regress. You just have to keep doing your best, and if not make things better than at least try to make them least worse until healing can happen.

They cheated by somehow introducing pausing mechanic (as in, they pause the game after every decision they make), essentially turning Dark Souls into a turn-based game. That's from what I see in the stream.

If they had to do it real-time, they would not have done it.
... that's still pretty neat, though. Turn based 3D dark souls. That's kinda' cool. Fairly inventive way to make the stream workable, too... almost turns it into a collective tool-assisted run (which... I guess it already was, just... more like tool handicapped or somethin').

... okay, it successfully predicted that incursion is my favorite roguelike (at a flat 100). Or I guess that it would be the one I would like to the play the most (which would be true, if I hadn't already played the game more or less to death). Color me a bit impressed. Go figure, T4, which is probably my most played in terms of raw game hours, came second. After that it started to break down, though. Also only suggested two I haven't already played, both with 0s, (being fair, I've probably played a literal majority of roguelikes made to date at least a little, even if I've slacked off recently-ish), and gearhead (which between it and GH2 is probably my third place after Inc and T4) wasn't on the list, but still. Kudos to nailing the top spot :P

Is... isn't going into a patreon contribution thinking about how much you're going to be rewarded, like. The exact wrong sort of thought process? Reward's the creator in question being able to continue to create, not... something else.

Twitch is a corporation, mate. They're already a person with rights, except when it benefits them to not be.

Yeah, that's always annoying. Push comes to shove, remember in the future to just shoot an email to the teacher (/stop by their office) and ask -- that's your way to check, when you're not sure. They tend to be pretty likely to not bullshit you about the subject, from what I've seen. It's actually saved me some money a couple of times, and I've seen it save other students some cash pretty often, especially when it's a teacher willing to work with students that have an older edition that's only marginally different.

Ehn. Well, to put some perspective on it, you can actually get the two liter ones for less than the 20oz ones around here, usually, especially compared to the ones in vending machines. The smaller bottles are even more of a ripoff than the large ones :P

13449
... how big are we talking here? I didn't know they sold in 'em sizes over 2 liters.

13450
... innit that kinda' expensive for the 2 liter bottles? At least around here they run for like 1.50 per at the most, iirc.

Ah. And have fun, skyru. Don't forget to write~

... though it should probably be linked to instead of img'd or spoilered. That thing is a 65 meg .gif file.

... dunno about edition, but there's ebook versions of QCA going for ~80 bucks online. Through amazon, by the look of it. Loose leaf going for ~180. Also, at least for the 7th & 8th edition, it looks a lot like there's, uh. Other ebooks. Looks like the 7th is actually hosted, maybe not intentionally, by some university or another. Wikibooks actually seems to have most of (some version of) (something named) Principles of Biochemistry, too. Seeing 5th editions of lehinger's renting for sub 40, buying used for like 45-90, again off amazon. 6th ed is buying used from 166 USD. Not saying you didn't look hard enough, baff, but...

Is... isn't that just a reskinned save/load feature? Or autosave, I guess?

Why aren't they in the oven yet...

but deers r cutes...
That... that reminds me of the past. Someone had done the vaguely horrible* act of raising a deer fawn up, like, in their house or somethin' along those lines, so it was pretty much entirely fearless regarding humans. Lived near one of the rivers around here, so occasionally when you went fishing or whatev', there'd be this friendly lil' deer that would come up for pettings and whatnot. Cute little bugger, those horn things when they're growing in are quite possibly one of the softest materials on earth. Very pettable.

*The other side to the happy memories is that, yes, the deer was eventually shot and ate because it didn't know to get the hell away from people, all due to the well intentioned jackass that more-or-less domesticated it, dooming it to an early death.

... for what it's worth, editing does cause the thread to be re-recognized as having new stuff, if it's the last post made. Makes the little (new) button pop up again, probably something else, I'unno. So it does cause a bit of face shoving, even if the person isn't refreshing the specific page the post is on. Insofar as someone not actually looking in the thread goes, it's pretty much exactly like multi-posting.

And... yeah, editing a post repeatedly over a fairly lengthy span is actually a little annoying, when the thread title keeps doing what it normally does when new posts are made. Leads a person to checking to see if discussion has continued when it... mostly hasn't.
