As someone who’s never played, which ones the good one?
I like American music. Do you like American music? I like American music, too, baby.
Other versions of me:
As someone who’s never played, which ones the good one?
Caveat: The ones that are still around “just work”. The ones that were overconstructed or relied on now-deprecated elements broke and aren’t still around.
Remember flash-only websites? I do. How about “Best viewed in Netscape Navigator”?
I was going to say the same thing. Doing it with her, and at the same time every day (or every other day) would be the most helpful if she’s like me. Even better is getting her to join a study group with others taking the same exam; it’s a lot easier to do things for others who depend on me than for myself alone.
I wrote mine before reading yours, but vision zone and talk zone are exactly like my description.
The fantastic mind: This is what’s active when I read books, examine memories, do mathematics, and dream. Vision, sound, smell, texture, emotion, and kinaesthesia simulated and under some amount of control.
The word mind: Text and inflection and sound and meaning. This is what’s active when I speak or sing, whether internally or aloud (and I’m more or less constantly doing one or the other when awake, usually aloud but not always).
The reactive mind: Processing inputs, forming connections, and responding to them. This is what activates during empathic conversation, when making jokes, and during most kinds of problem-solving. Mostly below the conscious level, and the responses are left to the word mind to use or not use (in conversation), or the fantastic mind to visualize and examine (in problem-solving).
The guts: Some might call this “the intuitive mind” but mine is full of crap. It gives me anxiety about things for no good reason. It also tells me to stop what I’m doing and check on time-sensitive agenda needing my attention, so I do attend when it flares up, but it’s not great about giving direction to do something, just to stop or avoid things. It’s like a smoke detector that goes off randomly, but also when there’s smoke. No false negatives, so you keep using it, but lots of false positives.
Generally, as an introvert, the fantastic mind is active best when I’m alone or at least in calm, familiar surroundings.
The reactive mind I find somewhat draining to use but usually that’s compensated for by the results: emotional connections, jokes, problems solved, recognition at work. But I don’t really control its outputs, only whether or not I use them; if a task goes in and nothing comes out, that’s the ballgame; I might not even remember there’s a task anymore until something reminds me.
The word mind is closest to the decision-making process, and so I tend to think of it as the most “me” even though it’s not fully under my control.
And the guts, well, you know how I feel about that. It may be that the guts are the same thing as the reactive mind but acting on subconscious inputs rather than conscious ones, I suppose.
Obviously a little simplistic, but those are the four primary mental modes for me.
It’s on crazy sale on the Nintendo e-store right now, maybe other platforms, too.
I love the sticky note idea! I’m going to try it as soon as I remember to buy sticky notes in four months.
Well I caved and started a new Minecraft world, but I’m not sure I like my seed. Playing the original Moving Out with my kindergartner and he’s surprising good at it.
Got the first Moving Out game on supersale and my kids are loving it. I’m always on the lookout for coup coöp games to play with them.
It colby a lack of vocabulary holding you back. But don’t compare yourself to me; when it comes to pun wars I’m an absolute muenster.
That’s not gouda!
I camembert the last time something like this happened.
Vimm’s Lair has scans if as many old manuals as they could find, if anyone likes looking through old manuals.
Yep. Whatever project seems more interesting than what I’m doing at work, but less interesting once I get home and have options.
Pikmin Bloom. It helps me get up and walking and has guided me to cool local public art.
He was fated to play the cello: Why name him Yo-Yo if he wasn’t going to go back and forth on strings?
Not a ROM hack, but Redigit, before going on to make Terraria, made something called SMB X, remixing SMB 1, 2, 3, World, and Zelda 1 and 2. It also had its own level editor. Totally fun.
And then the other gulls would eat them.
Dwarf Fortress
Adding a separate comment to add, if you’ve never played it, Super Mario X was a very fun, apparently not-entirely-legal fangame made my Redigit (who went on to create Terraria). He took it down at Nintendo’s demand, but you can still find a copy.
Three questions:
Can I play it in front of my kids?
What’s the minimum play session? (That is, how long from startup to the next save point?)
Is it a lot like Mass Effect?
