@WhyNotZoidberg I've been thinking a lot about this lately, and I think most everyone who isn't a "hero" character is just a really suboptimal multi-class that's already "max level". So like, instead of being a fighter/20 (or whatever the lower level cap in bg3 is), they're all merchant/10 housekeeper/2 singer/1 (etc.) combos that are mostly classes we don't know about because they're irrelevant to players.
@aharper Yeah, same here. Maybe since you don't do anything that gives huge chunks of xp, you just don't get higher than say "shop keeper lvl 8" before you retire. Main skills are "ordering the precise amount of bananas needed so they all sell before they go bad"
@lalage Wat grappig. Dat heb ik nooit geweten dat Instagram daarvoor gebruikt werd. Inderdaad, hier op Masto lijkt de spoeling dun wat boekenlezers betreft. Lijkt, he. @boeken heeft aardig wat volgers.
Can anyone link me to a study or a chart something to prove to some paper pushers in my life that the average life expectancy for autistic people is at a set age?
I'm 46 now and I believe I am past the average life expectancy, and some paper pushers asking me to 'prove' my need for assistance, from a doctor, renewed annually... which'll cast off several years of my life in stressful experiences to upkeep.
@nddev@actuallyautistic You might be correct, asessing my family's longevity might be more accurate from lack of data in general. But..
I have tried the family avenue many years in the past with other proof-on-paper services unsuccessfully. I was required to provide death certificates I did not have permissions to obtain. When I asked grandpa for a copy of the deaths of his wife and daughter, I was told he threw those away because it depressed him.
Imagine how fucking scary meeting Gordon Freeman must be in Half Life 1
Like every other scientist but you is a pacifist, then they see Gordon turn the corner, covered head to toe in 6 kinds of alien and human blood, high off his ass on morphine and adrenaline, carting like 5 different guns and 3 top secret government projects on his back.
—but I think it’s pretty compelling TV independent of those factors. High production value…which has not been the case for a lot of recent SFF prestige TV, IMHO.
@jepyang it... gets... so... much... BETTER. you don't think it can possibly get better AND THEN IT DOES.
These books sold me on Hugh Howey. My OCD gets mainlined with good authors and he's no exception, I've read nearly everything he's written. And keep finding more and I know I have to catch up now, too.
These books aren't known to me as Silo, I think of them as Wool, Wool II (Shift), and Wool III (Dust). :) So when I see #silo I have to translate that to #wool
Immediately after I finished this trilogy I devoured the Sand series, plus fanfic. Then I chomped through all his space stuff, which is some of his BEST stuff. Not Wool-level mindblowing (imho), but still ... his universe building is like watercolor paints. Half Way Home is spectacular.
And guess what? There's another show. Beacon 23, that's the same author. I don't know if it's as good, but I wanna see it. The books are also fantastic.
