You can get a watch repair kit on Amazon that will have the tools to remove the pins between the links.

I’ve also had luck going to a department store with a jewelery counter and seeing if they can make adjustments. Especially if it’s a brand of watch they carry, you can always say someone got it as a gift for you from that chain of stores.

Beware the touch attack on that monster.

Our monthly game with another family hasn’t met since September due to cancellations from sickness. With the holidays, we’re not even trying again until January 😞

Go for a walk, longer is better but even 20 minutes will help.

Eat fermented foods and plenty of fiber to keep your gut micro biome happy. There’s increasing evidence that your gut health impacts your mental health.

I’m so skeptical of companies, that I almost instinctively distrust any company which directly advertises to me. I would be doubly so if that ad came soon after discussing a need.

It’s super annoying that the camera and movement locks during dialogue without ensuring that the person you’re talking to is even looking at you. The NPCs are also kinda creepy looking and definitely have that uncanny valley feel to them.

Agriculture uses up the most water in the Southwest - particularly in AZ and California. So, yes curtailing water use from thirsty crops is a big issue. Furthermore, these companies are drawing ground water from increasingly deep wells which is unsustainable and leads to shallower neighboring wells drying up.

Maybe it should be. Decoupling retirement and Wall Street would probably let us take a more honest look at the costs and benefits of for profit corporations in our society.

The problem is that free range and grass fed methods take up more space and and produce more greenhouses gasses, even if they are more ethical.

Arizona is very efficient with water usage for the most part - especially in terms of residential and industrial usage. The big problem and water suck is agriculture in the region.

I know this exists, but it seems like a more complicated solution. Just give me space bar pause!

Is there a real pause button? Seems like the game is still running in the background when you hit ESC and you have to go into turn based mode to stop things. Wish the space bar paused and unpaused the game. Wish there was a double time mode too.

At least flash mobs bring a group of people together in real life to do something together in community. Far more value than influencer.

I really hope “influencer” is a temporal addition to our society, dies soon, and is remembered in the future as a particularly ridiculous aspect of the early 21st century.

I always found The Life Aquatic to be very cathartic.

I get the feeling their system will just take all the worst parts of video gaming - micro transactions, walled content, and bugs - and make D&D worse. I’m betting it will be a corporate profit first, community second approach.

What would be awesome is something that makes the table top experience easier and blends the best elements of VTT with in-person gaming. I’d love to a hybrid system in which physical tokens can interact with a digital table top.

This would be my first comment. I mostly lurked on Reddit, probably here too. For me, I more appreciate the aggregated content and don’t really want to take the time to engage in discussion as I try to minimize my overall screen time.
