Especially since it already has party mechanics built in. Why can’t they just swap out pawns for your friends? I get it wouldn’t really fit the story, but that can be handwaved.

A lighthearted and colorful Soulslike RPG with actual multiplayer. I want to run around in a BotW/TotK style world and go adventuring with friends, while still feeling like the combat is challenging. I want to be able to head into a dangerous dungeon with friends and not be sure we’ll make it out, while having a more storybook fantasy vibe. Too many game opt for gritty apocalypse worlds. The recent Zeldas show that you don’t need to go grimdark to have a compelling fantasy world, while still retaining a save the world vibe.

The Artemis app is in beta and it’s looking pretty promising. Definitely still some bugs, but the UI is dead simple and easy to customize. Switching to a subbed only view works well too. The official mag is m/artemisapp

I tried using it for a few months and just kept getting wildly inaccurate predictions. It wasn’t any faster or easier so I just continue typing normally. Plus the multi-language recognition isn’t good enough in my experience.

Now I’m tempted to bake a steak shaped cookie from an entire tube of cookie dough

I personally love working nights. I’m not a morning person by any stretch of the imagination. In fact I am actively worse at things the earlier I wake up. Conversely my brain feels clearer and more active after 10pm.

That being said, my social life is almost entirely online. I rarely go out IRL. I sleep like a rock and only need about 6 hours anyway.

If you are someone who needs to talk to people, has trouble sleeping during the day, or requires a lot of sleep, the night shift is likely not for you.

Some people are built for it, some aren’t.

This is a bit of a spoiler, but the guy who mentions Musk is actually from the evil mirror universe. So the second guy from the mainline universe is confused as to why Musk is on that list. He was probably a bigger figure in the mirror universe.

This is the heart of the issue. People don’t feel like they are allowed to take time to themselves. In reality all it takes is not answering the messages if you don’t feel like it. Hell, you don’t even have to look at them.

Anyone I talk to regularly, would not care if I didn’t answer their texts for a few days. My phone is always on vibrate or silent. I engage with people only as much as I want to.

What I’m saying is all that stuff can be changed if you want it to.

The YouTube channel Pointy Hat recently had their 100,000 sub special on the Feywild. They created a short adventure (1-2 sessions, obo 3-4 hours each) set in the Feywild. The video it’s attached to is kind of long (~40 min) but is an excellent look at the Feywild. The actual portion covering the adventure gives tips on running it as well. I’ve read it over and it’s pretty well put together.

Video link in case you’re interested. The adventure is in a link in the description.

Same goes for Ginny Di’s Steal This Sidequest. It’s shorter and easier to scale too.

It’s similar to why I get looks for disliking cats. People love their pets and confuse disliking a type of animal for disliking their pet in particular.

This sounds more like you dislike badly trained dogs/inattentive owners. Dogs that are well behaved and trained don’t do any of that.

Ernest actually reminds me of u/ljdawson, the dev behind the Sync app. He’s responsive, takes criticism well, and seems to genuinely care about the platform he’s created. Hard to go wrong with that.
