Easier if you’re younger, I suspect. My sister met the queen as part of the golden jubilee celebrations when she was 11 and didn’t curtsey, partly because she was disgusted that Liz didn’t say thank you when gifted a golden owl by the city.
This is literally the closest form of consciousness to our own - the easiest and most obvious case. They weren’t actually asking if dolphins would count, they’re asking at what point it counts as consciousness. The ones you need to answer are things like tardigrades, bacteria and viruses, or nonphysical forms of consciousness. After all, you’re seriously claiming that the scientific definition of observation is observation by a conscious mind, not interaction with another aspect of the universe, so why don’t we consider all the nonfalsifiables? Do ghosts collapse the quantum superposition?
I was 11 or 12 before becoming interested in music independently of whatever other people put on, but my best friend thought I’d like The Darkness so I bought Permission to Land with my birthday money.
Still a fantastic album, Black Shuck and Love on the Rocks still make regular appearances in my listening.
I’m sure it’s worth the money if you have plenty to spare, but somehow I suspect that OP isn’t just trying to be thrifty, and your advice is about as helpful as telling them to just walk on water.
Sony have a few decent wireless ones under £100 - I’ve got some MDR-ZX770BN that are about 7 or 8 years old now. I think WH-CH720N is about the current equivalent of them.
I’ve had good results with JBL earbuds too - the Reflect series have done a solid job while I’m cycling.
My normal process is to plan a session and then have it almost immediately derailed through a mixture of distractions, roleplay (or skipped roleplay), and sequence breaking. The planning done for a single session generally correlates to either 1/2 of a session or 2-3 sessions of useful content....

You mean apart from them occuring at set intervals? The length of time between the average women’s periods is 28 days, but the moon’s 28 day cycle is 100% reliable, and always happens regardless of individual stressors. Having a regular solar event that confirms you’re accurately keeping track of days is pretty practical.
I get used to people telling me to try another game, but if I do and you tell me it doesn’t count for some stupid reason and basically saying what you meant was “Pathfinder or old editions of d&d”? Yeah I’m fucking mad....
I’ll put this down to poorly explaining their argument to start with, as they downplayed the “5e but better” games in their first comment while that was really their entire point.
I’ll give you the first half, but my point was more “that’s not crazy homebrew”, which, frankly, even BitD demonstrates. They’re talking about vanilla fantasy like it’s House of Leaves.
Extremely funny that you’re so upset you made a meme to vent over your lack of imagination, so just to be a complete asshole about this, the fact that you’re not running Blades until tomorrow very literally means you haven’t actually played it yet.
I am begging you to just try another system. Even a same-but-different system like pathfinder. Most of them are much easier and require a lot less work.
Yeah, no, this is exactly what I mean - you didn’t describe any “crazy homebrew shit”, you described things that are just in other systems (even older editions of D&D) without any additional work. One of my PF2e players is a time traveller, without me having to add anything. One of my PF1 players was basically a power ranger, entirely RAW. hell, one of the players I played 4e with was a dimension hopper, even if it was largely flavour.
When I say try another game I don’t just mean try something on the opposite end of the ttrpg spectrum like FitD, I also mean try one of the many “5e but better” systems (including previous editions of D&D) to get rid of these ridiculous illusions about all the work you’re having to put in.
Hey, no, keep paraphasing. I want to see what I said after that. Just the next sentence.
How did you play those systems and still think you’re talking about “crazy homebrew shit”? All 3 of them have your homebrew in them - let’s try an analogy; imagine you have a large, expensive, and nearly featureless car. You are very proud of how its simplicity lets you keep innovating the craziest new features. You punched some holes in it to create airflow and keep you cool while the car’s moving. You set up an array of antennas on the roof so you can take a radio with you and listen to music. You cut a hole in the roof and attache a panel with hinges, so you can open it up on nice days. And then you brag to me about your genius ideas you homebrewed, and I ask why the fuck you didn’t just get a car with AC, a stereo, and a sunroof, and you get defensive because I’ve pointed out something very obvious to everyone but you.
Don’t get me wrong, I love crazy homebrew shit. I homebrewed 5e into some crazy shit, but that’s about skeleton PCs competing to commit felonies, not adding basic features of other games. Aliens and time travel and dimension hopping aren’t unusual in fantasy. This isn’t some crazy homebrew shit, this is a basic expectation of the genre - one that other games provide. One that your own examples provide. If you’re going to homebrew crazy shit, then homebrew some crazy shit, don’t homebrew the most vanilla aspects of other games and complain when it’s pointed out that they’re not remotely crazy shit.
In my second year of chemistry at uni we suddenly had to fill in health and safety paperwork before every lab - they explained that during the finals at the end of the previous year an older student had absent mindedly dropped a lump of sodium in the aqueous waste container, which exploded, causing all the different waste containers to break open and start mixing. Thankfully it only destroyed the fume hood, the immediately surrounding benches, and a few thousand pounds worth of glassware, and didn’t get as far as the really expensive equipment.
I understand how it can be frustrating for you idiots to be constantly corrected by us, but maybe if you tried learning before assuming you wouldn’t find yourselves geting dogpiled for your ignorant kneejerk support of an islamophobic white supremacist ultranationalist.
My sister met the queen during the golden jubilee celebrations. Her take away was that the queen was rude and needed to learn some basic manners like using “please” and “thank you”.
