I'm not going to say I got into smoking because of this but... helping my stoner friends design and make a hydraulic bong was definitely my "first one's free" moment haha.

It's depressing how many top level comments or replies are about how people like that there is a technical barrier gatekeeping lemmy. Are yall actually leftists or do you just pretend to be while worshipping your own version of social hierarchy in which us nerds are on top?

Yikes. This makes me think of people who have hurt me

When I was young I was a genius level mathlete and I was on the brink of solving every millennium problem AND curing cancer, but then my parents made me share my m&ms with my little brother. With my economic incentive removed i realized that making life better for myself and the people around me was really just pointless. Now I do nothing but smoke weed and shitpost and eat hot chip and lie. The dangers of socialims are REAL and SAD. Hail Seitan!!

The famed Wanksy approach?

The later titles were better, ya know? Ds1 created an entire new genre built a massive fanbase out of nowhere and was so mind-blowingly good that people still use it as a measure of comparison for new games. Then ds3 and beyond slightly improved on that formula, so that does technically make them better games

So you're saying Hannibal didn't finish the job because he had no (cross)bars?

Legit ants are one of the coolest species on earth. One of the very few species on earth to have ever developed agriculture, eusocial, specialized mutations to perform different roles in colonies, and so on. This post is based and antpilled

That depends significantly on which 5 challenges you're running.

Later boss potions: Dm-300: purity can be useful for his poison gas, haste or invis for the chase sequences

Dwarf king: anything that does aoe. Poison gas, liquid flame, and many exotic potion variants that create large damage zones

For yog I use a very specific alchemy load out, as follows.

1x arcane armor (exotic paralytic potion plus goo) Reduces damage from most of the fists plus any yog lasers you don't manage to dodge

1x toxic essence (exotic poison potion upgraded again) poison immunity makes the stinkfist easier

2x dragonblood (exotic fire potion upgraded again) fire immunity makes the fire fist a lot easier, and burning grass+immunity to that blaze makes the grass fist much easier

2+ magic sight potion. Makes the light and dark fists easy

Hey, I still think that's a significant difference when compared to "male", the expected value of my gender. Or at least my new gender will be able to determine whether or not it's significant.

Tfw you have to down vote a post you support x.x hopefully it stabilizes lol

 

The Blister Exists, by slipknot. In case the link doesn't work properly. The drum part that starts at ~2:12 is imprinted on my psyche for the rest of my life. I smack my thighs hard enough to bruise air-drumming along to this song

 

Spirit bow has blooming and speed augment. Spawn grass and burn everything at range with the blazing crossbow buffed darts and sniper's mark ability, artifacts and haste armor ability to get away or run through the fire. This build did monstrous aoe damage, spawning massive blazes nearly every fight

The real star of this run was the parchment scrap. Since the update where energizing potions and scrolls identifies them, it feels very viable to identify all of the extra scrolls and potions from the first 4 floors by energizing them and pumping that into the parchment scrap. 10x enchantment/glyph find and 0x curse find on armor and weapons is a wild effect to have before floor 5. In the posted run I got a lucky weapon early with this strategy which snowballed into RoW drops, making a build that felt very strong starting on floor 4 and continuing for the rest of the game

 

I'm currently working on a PhD, and I had a meeting that felt like an intervention with my advisor where she encouraged me to take a few months away from the program to take care of myself. For context, I used to work for the airforce, and apparently I picked up some pretty severe mental health problems that have lead to not sleeping and panic attacks when I read papers about military hardware (not ideal when my current interest is hardware side cybersecurity).

What the fuck does "take care of yourself" mean? Like, I don't know what to do with my hands. I've spent my entire life with a fast paced schedule, either with school work or some other crisis I've needed to attend to. Now I'm like... trying to accept going to therapy and I'm doing yoga with some people in my research group a few times a week, but i don't know what to do with my time otherwise. I feel like smoking all of the weed in this state playing video games and rotting in bed isn't the answer, but that's where I'm at. I'd love any advice or to hear from anybody who's been in that position of being told to take a few months off for mental health
