Buproprion has largely been good for me, but its less effective than Adderall. Teeth clenching and dry mouth side effects.

If it's only been four days it shouldn't even be at full effectiveness tho. I remember having to slowly increase my dose over a couple weeks until I was at therapeutic level, and if I missed a bunch of time I had to do it again.

  • Reflective metallic silver, like a ball bearing.
  • genderless
  • a mannequin silhouette
  • about the size of a large grape? Like a superball.
  • my wooden dining room table, background and all.

The focus seemed to be on picturing the table and ball, and the person pushing it was irrelevant other than to provide motive force, so I didn't spend any time to fill in their details.

Comes through the bladder, but isn't pee. They did an ultrasound study where women emptied thier bladders and then stimulated until they squirted. Thier bladder is empty of urine, but rapidly fills and releases a clear fluid to squirt.

If the lady doesn't empty her bladder first, it's going to have urine in it. But the fluid itself isn't urine.

Praying the burned import disc boots up, probably.

Having played all the editions in the comic, I'm going to go out on a limb and say that 4e is unfairly maligned and I would rather play it over Advanced 2e or 3.5.

The powers system gets bloated fast, but offloading potentially broken support spells and powers into 10min to 1 hour rituals is genius. 4e has the only useful version of Pyrotechnics between the listed editions.

Short Rests being 5 min instead of 1 hour really feels like the pace of encounters keeps up without any awkward pauses, and means encounter powers are reliably up by the next fight.

The understanding that mechanical roles and flavor power sources could be swapped around and make a bunch of classes instead of trying to theme classes solely around fantasy archetypes let them have greater design freedom.

Short rests and powers attached to them, subclasses being a core part of the basic classes, ritual casting, at-will basic spells for casters, & proto-advantage in some class abilities are all extracted from 4e.

5e isn't bad - its arguably the best version of D&D. But I've seen a lot better fantasy systems than D&D, and some fantastic mechanics left on the cutting room floor between NEXT and 5e.

I have heard the '4e was MMO edition' critique multiple times and not once has anyone been able to articulate why 4e was specifically like WoW in a way that wasn't outright false or was so broadly similar that it applied to nearly all fantasy RPGs, electronic or tabletop.

I'm going to push it a bunch. What happens if I hit that 1% more than once?

have you heard of our lord and saviour Eliezer Yudkovsky?

I have, the weird cult he's built upn is creepy, and Methods of Rationality is terrible.

Or he could have some clause in the contract that prevents him from bypassing the publisher for profit, or maybe he just doesn't want the game to disappear and has a clause that lets him give away copies so he's free and clear. It isn't necessarily piracy. You asked how he could do this, I'm just spitballing possible answers.

I think he still owns the game. His publisher is the one delisting it.

Not the worst loss! She's still good for Diving and Dragonspine, and C1 is pretty much necessary to use her.

Everything. The adaptations your body has learned to fight other diseases are stored as T-cells. When you need more of that particular kind of thing, your body goes and runs off copies. Measles kills your T-cells, so your body can't copy the old adaptations, only make blank-slate factory-new ones.
