How it started vs. How it's going

Reply in thread

It's a standard formatted for-loop. It's creating the integer variable i, and setting it to zero. The second part is saying "do this while i is less than 10", and the last part is saying what to do after the loop runs once -‐ increment i by 1. Under this would be the actual stuff you want to be doing in that loop. Assuming nothing in the rest of the code is manipulating i, it'll do this 10 times and then move on

What's the worst medical treatment you had to endure?

CW: self harm, suicide

When I was a teenager i was experiencing extreme mental health issues from a double whammy of depression, ptsd, and issues with home life, leading to self harm and suicidal ideation/attempts. I ended up being committed to an inpatient psychiatric facility. It ended up being psychological torture more than anything, and really only made me better at masking. One of the worst things that stands out still is them putting everyone in a room to watch a video that was 911 recordings of siblings and parents finding their sibling/child after they'd committed suicide and calling 911 distraught and breaking down, interspersed with people talking about how other people are impacted and hurt by those actions. It boiled down to guilting us for what we were going through. Which, when part of your issue is already self-hate and guilt, just caused more pain than anything resembling help.

2024 Savings throw wording

No, it would mean if a target didn't have any dexterity that they would automatically fail it. I believe this would mainly be applying towards objects/the environment, but there are probably other contexts as well.

Temp Check on Blood of the Dawnwalker?

Seconding everyone who said its one of their favorite games of the past year. I'm about 30 hours in and it's only been getting better. It's incredibly well written and performed, and the combat and general mechanics are some of my favorites in video games. If you played Blood and Wine in the witcher 3, you basically get to have all of the cool vampire powers you saw in that. Quickly entered my top 5 favorite games honestly.

From Joseph Smith to Mike Lee: Two Centuries of Mormon Land Grabbers

If anyone needs it, https://quitmormon.com/ was a huge help for me. Lawyer will submit orders to expunge your record from the church for free if you complete a form and get it notarized. I stopped having missionaries and bishops leaving voicemails on my building callbox after that. Nothing like having mystery voicemails from your building box after moving multiple times and not stepping foot in a church for almost a decade.

Baldur’s Gate 3 - Official Release Teaser Trailer

Reply in thread

It worked great even a few years ago, and I assume has only gotten better. My friend and I did a playthrough in co-op, and we each had an npc we sort of claimed both in combat as well as for talking to. We could be in completely different places on the map and talking with different characters, and those conversations would affect the world, like we were two different people making decisions. There were some clunky bits, but that was about 5 or 6 major patches ago. It's gotten even better since then, and we're planning on a big playthrough with my friend, my partner, and I. It's not going to be necessarily like TOR in the way that each of you would have completely independent stories you're doing, but it feels really close to an actual game of dnd. And at any point if someone is on a conversation/cutscene you can eavesdrop/observe on it too, and make recommendations on which options to pick.
