Merlin!

A Feld that I did not know existed.

2-3 hour first play through on Saturday.

Good choices and options on every turn.

Has a round table, Excalibur, a chalice(grail) , and knights/serfs etc. Fun theming.

An imagineer.

I'm not sure if that's right, but you can use it.

I quit boardgames for 20yrs after a game of Diplomacy.

You are correct in thinking there was a huge betrayal, that I was not told is part of the game, before beginning.

So, the search term to use on the web and YT is:

'stutter delayed audio feedback'

Here is a video that demonstrates the effect of DAF

Stuttering Phenomenon #3: Delayed Auditory Feedback

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MAQvhUxDA3g

2:15 - Reading a passage without DAF

3:45 - Reading the passage with DAF turned on

I'm not sure if there are any permanent negative affects, so please consult experts, or contact people who have used it extensively already.

Good luck (c:

I remember a video from way back, where man with a pronounced stutter(no pun intended) was speaking fluently.

An assistant handed him a pair of headphones that time-shifted the audio that he was hearing. I think it was about a 0.5second delay from when something was said, until it was heard in the headphones.

Fully enclosed, over ear headphones.

Worth a try to see if you get any change.

I'll see if I can find the video.

In the long-long-ago, encyclopaedias were on paper, 28 volumes, and weighed 14kg. Quite comprehensive.

Then encyclopaedias were on a CD or two, around 100g.

Before Wikipedia, everything2 was a previous example of a massively-interlinked-website. You could search and maybe turn up some details.

Or prior to google being created, you would just do a search in metacrawler.com to usually turn up some OK answers.

You are sharing very deep observations about yourself.

About your mother and her impact on you wanting to start a family, take a look at raisedbynarcicissts communities or speak to a therapist.

For friends connection, try joining a board game club in your area. They really don't care about autistic traits.

I'd recommend minimising the amount of commercial media you are viewing, and switch to mostly consuming open-licenced media for a while.

Audio books: librivox.org

Movies: vole.wtf/voleflix

Nursing, and care professions like teaching or ambulance drivers, can often be squeezed to rely on the compassion of the individuals in them. Do you have balance within your position. Is it time to retrain for something else at night-school? Or time to go to 3 or 4 days a week.

Take some pride, every single day nurses help people to stay alive.

The Stoic Reading app on FDroid may help you find some philosophy that motivates or solidifies a purpose.

Travel to a different town and meet random people, introduce yourself using your middle name. Invest nothing in making long term friends, just chat.

You actually sound quite aware of many things around you, finding opportunities for hobbies or artistic endeavours, where you do not overthink things, would help.

Remember that everyone is doing their best with what they know, and to let some things go.

All the best for your future.

Walking through a cemetry at night, with 8 friends.

A tree ahead starts violently shaking its top branch then stops.

We all continue walking past the tree, which is around 6m high. All examine the top of it to see no person or animal up there.

Agree it was weird.

It was shaking too much to be a cat or bird. No wind at the time.

Black swans surfing (www.youtube.com)
 

Dolphins surf shore break, and... so do black swans.

Anyone seen this live? Is it common, or a one off group?

RMaps previously provided free satellite imagery, and any geo-location could be shared from OSMand to RMaps, to quickly show a satellite overview. (Tiles from ARCGIS IIRC)

What is the current state of satellite imagery in fdroid?

How can an OSMand location be quickly opened as a satellite view?

Edit: Extra info is, I'm looking for an offline satellite image solution. Full pre-loading of a specific areas, before travel.

With RMaps, it was possible to pre-load the tiles for the remote-location needed at various zoom-levels, before travelling a few 100kms from cell-towers, and then still being able to access an offline-satellite-view of those locations when there.

BONUS TOMT:

I'm looking for the name of a FLOSS Quake1-mod, puzzle game, that was about placing gravity points, to curve a stream of particles around the level, and eventually into the goal target. (May have used irrlicht) If anyone knows the name of this one, please let me know, it is my white-whale of games.

 

That's it. Any horse, any time period, any peoples, did they fit a shoe that helped the horse to swim in water?

(Was thinking about how horses are pretty good swimmers, maybe due to their power and hoof shape. Could they be better?)
