Disengagement.
If I can physically disengage, walking away from the situation, I'd do it. If not, I'll mentally disengage. Enough times of this, I'll just default to it: not giving a shit because apparently, no one does.
If I must engage in it anyways, maybe I'll return to it once I've calmed down. If I must do it there and then (so, no time to compose myself), I'd do minimum I can get away with.
In real life? Nope. I don't think I have the patience for that, sitting perfectly still for hours on end. I would probably enjoy the scenery and the vibe though.
Triple triad + Card mod ability = broken game
It might have had a factor in my not enjoying the Triple Triad mini game, as I sometimes get bogged down in just collecting cards to convert into spells and items. Also, the Queen of Cards is a huge pain. And the CC Club sidequest.
Completing the CC Club side quest is necessary to complete prior to Disk 4 if you want to have access to them on Disk 4 (they're inside the Ragnarok). Queen of Cards is available on Disk 4 by default (she's on the Lunar Pod crash site in Esthar), so you can just play her there for a quicker access to the cards only accessible through her.
The fishing minigame from Breath of Fire 4. There's just something that's both simple and relaxing, as well as complex and engaging in that minigame. Even better, it's not a requirement to finish the game.
And then there's the fishing minigame on Stardew Valley.
That's a great idea! Probably stealing it for when I next play a wizard-like spellcaster.
There was one time I had to play double-duty as utility and party healer. I thought it was a good idea to keep track of everyone's health. In my head, it makes for deciding when to "switch to healing" far easier. So I had this sheet of paper keeping track of everyone's total HP and current HP. At some point, I'll switch to being the medic and physically pull out a card that says "Beacon of Hope" with a description of what it does (full HP dealt with healing spells and potions, among other things), and start doling out healing spells.
Aside from keeping track of everyone's HP (which, in hindsight, shouldn't be my job anyways), it was kinda simple. Even before my turn, I already have an idea what to do, usually trying to keep some idiot in the party alive. It's just a matter which idiot I would try to save first (and for most situations, I just go for the one with the least current HP).
I used to print out spell sheets and put them into some sort of a spell booklet for reasons like this. It also helps that I played a bard when I did that and so there wasn't a whole lot of spells that I needed to keep track of.
The last time I played a wizard, I just relied on a similar tactic (one-spell sheets compiled into some sort of a booklet), but instead of printing it out, they just stayed as files that I move to a directory on my phone called "prepared spells".
I remember coming across a study that has a fairly different conclusion. Of course, not having any caloric intake is a sure-fire way to lose weight, poverty limits people to cheap and calorie-rich (but not nutritionally rich) foods.
Not the article I remember reading, but here's a writeup by the WHO about poverty and obesity: https://www.who.int/europe/news-room/23-05-2024-the-inequality-epidemic--low-income-teens-face-higher-risks-of-obesity--inactivity-and-poor-diet
Dr Martin Weber, Team Lead for Quality of Care and Programme Manager of Child and Adolescent Health at WHO/Europe, said, “The affordability and accessibility of healthy food options are often limited for families with lower incomes, leading to a higher reliance on processed and sugary foods, which can have detrimental effects on adolescent health.”
In my part of the world, poverty food has for the past few decades been instant noodles, on rice. Carbs on carbs. In my worst days, I managed to get by with just crushed junk food (think, the cheapest doritos-like chips I can afford) on rice (one serving for 0.10 USD).
Yep, I tried it. It actually is good with the bun. It's like a poor man's ice cream sandwich.
Young coconut ice cream. It's one of those flavors we can easily get from those ice cream carts that stop by the neighborhood usually in the middle of the afternoon. There's also mango and avocado completing the usual three flavors the cart would have, and I would always buy all three flavors available (unless I really hate the flavor).
Some of the adults would opt to have the ice cream served in a bread bun (usually just repurposed hamburger buns, without the sesame seeds), but I always opted for the sugar cones.
That daughter is the current vice president (who ran together on the same ticket as the current president: another dictator's offspring). Seems like the daughter would be gunning for the presidency the next election (since presidents in the Philippines are only allowed one term) and is now have been waging a word war against the current president and their camp.
Anyways, the fear is that this arrest will be used for pity points amongst Duterte's base. Filipinos in general love dramatics and the underdog. They will milk this arrest for all its worth, painting the elder Duterte as being oppressed, at the behest of "foreign interests" and agitating the base.
I've bounced around several clients (mobile) and frontends (web) especially when I first started. I've eventually settled on Voyager (mobile) and Alexandrite (web frontend).
Voyager has a lot of neat features that makes browsing Lemmy on mobile smooth and an overall nice experience. It's got swipe gestures (configurable, but mine has long swipe left to upvote, long swipe left to save, short swipe right to downvote, and long swipe right to reply). There's also a feature to tag a user, and to keep track of votes (in aggregate, so I wouldn't know if I give a user an upvote in one thread, and a downvote in another, yielding a net zero, or I just haven't given that user a vote at all). Still a nice set of features. There might be more that I have yet to discover and use.
Alexandrite, on the other hand, presents a really good desktop experience. There's an option to have the posts (on my feed, or a community) on the left side of the screen and the post I'm reading on the right, which is great if I am just scanning a my feed, deciding if I want to take a closer look at a post. I end up mostly just using this mode most of the time.
Both Voyager and Alexandrite allow me to switch between my Lemmy accounts easily, which is a great plus if you're having a handful of accounts (for different purposes, like one main, another for NSFW, etc).
IMO, the clients (for mobile) have a lot of competition going on, and I wouldn't be surprised if I find a different one I'd like better. Just keep an eye out for those, I guess?
If Google decides to go full rogue and ignore W3C specs entirely and make up a bunch of their own shit, that devs then start to use because why not since the majority of their userbase use a chromium based browser, then Firefox can easily be taken out.
Which is basically the ending of the first browser wars, as far as I can remember. Internet Explorer had a little bit less market share than Google Chrome has nowadays, but still an overwhelming majority. Moreover, Internet Explorer had these IE-only tags and features, which further reinforced such things.
But here we are. Yes, Google Chrome and Google has an overwhelming majority right now, but so was IE (thanks to Microsoft's practices) back then. Google Chrome came at the right time with what people actually wanted at that time, and so was able to gain the upper hand, and eventually a chokehold.
My response though is more about "keeping things alive for its users", at least until such a breakthrough happens (maybe Servo has it?) or more pessimistically, until internet browsers fade away into obscurity (or perhaps just like IRC clients, it's still a thing, right?)
I really hope that the forks coordinate for this to happen, soon, if not yesterday.
Maybe a group that keeps track what is to be done if Firefox development stops or if Mozilla folds or somehow abandons Firefox. Things such as:
- how to take over development from Mozilla
- the minimum that needs to be done to keep up to the standards
- the minimum that needs to be done to keep the (base) browser on par in performance with Chromium (and the others, such as Servo)
- coordinate developers and other people involved in the project
- manage donations and funding
Maybe I'm imagining some sort of a cooperative formed by Firefox forks with the main aim of keeping Firefox alive despite of (or after) Mozilla.
https://en.m.wiktionary.org/wiki/evacuate#Verb
- To cause (or help) to leave or withdraw from.“The firefighters decided to evacuate all the inhabitants from the street.”
Hence: “Passenger plane catches fire at South Korean airport. All 176 on board evacuated” → “[A] passenger plane catches fire at a South Korean airport. All 176 people on board [were] evacuated [from the plane]. ”
Note that in the linked Wiktionary entry, there is an attested usage from 1943. It isn't exactly youth slang. It is, however, the sense with the most recent attested usage among all of those listed.

Outrage over Elon Musk ‘Nazi salute’ at Trump inauguration
Full-blown Musk off, huh?
They're out and out being Proud Boys™, good for them, I guess? Bad for everyone deemed undesirable, of course.
I used to ask people to tell me if they need healing, but I found it easier to just keep track of it all myself so that I can plan when to switch roles from buff to heal.
Combat encounters usually have me bringing out a calculator and a sheet of paper where everyone's hp is being tracked.
I'm glad it somehow helped you IRL. Best of luck to you!
I know myself enough that I'm likely to let that absolute power absolutely corrupt me and hence, make things absolutely worse for everyone around me.
I'm not that good of a person to be able to be sure that I won't abuse that power, nor am I wise enough to know what to do in order to use that power for the good of everyone. Worse, I'd fall under the delusion that I'm the only person with the will and power to able to do good, and that my ideals are the only ones that count.
So, unfortunately, no. I must decline.
Oh, I know! 😅
In my current playthrough, I used just a few of the techniques I know to get 3×100 Flare for my party to junction to STR and 3×100 Thundaga to junction to Elem Atk (you can get two of them, and the Siren has the third IIRC--it's been a while since the SeeD exam and the playthrough proceeds at a snail's pace) before the SeeD exam in order to defeat the "Crab Mecha" on the first available opportunity. All that, while keeping my levels at a minimum (under lvl 10, ideally).
I have the patience for it, but it still gets incredibly tedious and dull.
