Sleeping earlier should help, if the issue is falling asleep earlier, consider light exercise a couple hours before trying to sleep. I’m personally not a big fan of medicated sleep assist, but some people may need it.

I used to be a very deep sleeper. The things that helped me wake up on time were making sure I was tired enough at the end of each day to sleep soundly, and getting up at the same time daily. I usually wake up a bit before my alarm goes off these days.

Not yet, but I can do that later.

I don’t think my early 20’s radio host voice will be of much use to them.

I pick up every call I’m aware of. Scammers, phishers, polls, and everything else. I love messing with people, and good luck with getting accurate poll results, I have a dice rolling app I use to answer the questions.

It’s even on a schedule for me now. The ‘TV company’ scam calls around 5pm to try me out, polling places seem to be weekend exclusives, and rarely I’ll get a noonish jingle from some other random organization.

About 40% of the scam calls automatically disconnect after 8 seconds, and the rest I get to play with.

I’d have some sympathy if it weren’t for how far you need to go to get a license suspended in the first place.

I get that there are some places where needing transportation is basically required to live… Which is all the more reason not to fuck up bad enough to get that very means of travel suspended in the first place.

I see enough dangerous driving on a daily basis that it’s practically second nature around these parts… The less of the those on the streets the better.

I get that dude! That’s why I left it very ambiguous on what the viewer might be paying for, simply that they would be more likely to spent after having seen the thing than not!

Take away the pirates and they’ll have to pay!

Or people will just not watch movies… Which is far far worse than the pirates as there will be no drive to watch new movies. Having viewers, even if they don’t pay immediately doesn’t mean those people won’t eventually become paying viewers. A non-viewer will never pay.

I should also probably mention the last movie at a theater I went to see was ‘the boy and the heron’, and that was the last piece of movie media I’ve watched.

And it’s the perfect fit for a VR game as well. The top down towering from the heavens over your domain would make the island feel like a table top game… And you could give your pet proper scritches.

This is pretty amazing. I have a random shower thought about the headline at this point.

Microscopes are any device that can see things smaller than what we can manage with our own eyes… But that range has become extremely massive. It’s to the point where I’d really like a new set of terms for scopes based on the magnification levels.

It’s a good time period for action rpgs. This and monster hunter wilds are looking like a ton of fun.

I’d be down to listen to the ‘Deb of Night’ anytime.

I most definitely have my gripes. I held off on bl3 until they released ‘Pandora’s box’, which got me two of the games I’d been holding out on, and most if not all the dlc for those games. Considering I haven’t done all the dlc in bl3 I have yet, and don’t currently have the game installed, I think I have plenty to do while waiting to see is 4+dlc is worth anything.

Its beyond difficult to compare to a team that had an entire conversation tree line with a stop sign.

At the point where the actual game devs can’t make a decent sequel, how did they think a movie was ever going to work?

I have my gripes about the franchise from the first game onwards.

Minor other thing… Why make a pg-13 movie of an M (or pegi 18) rated game series? Even the telltale games version isn’t ‘kid friendly’.

That’s definitely worth having an oversized vehicle for. I’m not questioning that at all. The supersized pickup with an 8ft bed and seating for 12 is where the fuck cars frustration comes in.

considering the “bed” is just over 10ft long and about 6ft tall, I could fit most mattresses, as well as most normally sized couches in the back too. A single king sized foundation would need to be angled though.

Even my company work van is only like… 15ft long… and it can fit basically anything I’d ever need to use for construction related needs.

Depends on the campaign, but I’ve seen that work before.

I do try. There were any number of ways to describe the general communication that’s strongly encouraged before getting into it with someone, and I considered using a dragon ball metaphor instead, but dungeons and dragons felt more apt. The long and the short of it is a bare minimum of what someone likes before getting started. Details to be pounded out at a later time.

There is no “one size fits all” for anyone…

I treat the first time with anyone like a session zero of a DnD campaign. We put our wants and desires forward, discuss dislikes and flat out offs, and go from there. The intimate details of how they like something is best sorted out in practice.

Edit: it seems most replies don’t know what a session zero is. It’s the conversation before the game starts. It’s an icebreaker between the dm and the players to make sure that everyone is going into this with a similar mindset. If the players all want a role play heavy game and the dm is set up for combat focused game then it needs to be known ahead of time.
