This sounds likely. I’d have to imagine at that stage of life the very concept of learning how to learn something for the first time is monumental.

What they’re learning isn’t as important as learning something for the first time. Since animals are so interesting, it sounds like a reasonable thing to start with.

I imagine it also has to do with establishing and reinforcing the concept that “things make noises and so can you”

There are few things that boost inspiration and innovation quite like a competent competitor.

I suspect you aren’t the target audience.

Most mobile game marketing is done with ads in other free-to-play mobile games. Unless you play those types of games regularly, you’re unlikely to come across it.

I don’t touch any game I can’t pay for in full once and be done. So I know I’m not the target audience.

That space is for their thoughts to slide right off

I know “User Research” is a subset of design. But I think they hold the most important job of making sure the thing being built is actually what users want.

This was such a chill Isekai, so glad it’s getting a second season.

I just can’t stop playing Cobalt Core. And Baldurs Gate 3 is sitting right there

If we had proper care for the mentally ill and living on disability payments wasn’t so awful, people with severe PTSD (and likely sleep deprivation) wouldn’t be forced to have jobs.

Just a few more plot points away to re-enacting Burrow’s End in real life.

I desperately want this as well.

In all seriousness, yes.

For me, my most valuable journaling has been stream-of-conscious thoughts as they come in. Good. Bad. Whatever. It all gets written down. This ain’t archival biography writing. In fact, it’s super liberating to throw out old journals sometimes. They’re all just thoughts.

Journaling has been the single most valuable tool in my mental health journey. It’s baffling how bad a day can be when I haven’t had my morning brain dump.

I’ve had the opposite experience. But then again I don’t really watch media without interacting and falling in love with the fandom first.

I wouldn’t have watched Star Trek without Trekkies being awesome.

It’s funny seeing how much of my gaming is the 30 minutes to an hour detoxing after work before going to other tasks. I rarely play a game for hours on end anymore.

Shout out to Hades and Inscryption (Kaycee’s mod) for being less than an hour to beat a run. Perfect for a detox.

The folks over at The Accidental Tech podcast are the first that comes to mind. But that’s less learning and more week-to-week discussions.

As far as tutorials go, check out all the things from David Sparks - MacSparky.com. In addition to all his field guides (those do cost money), there’s his podcasts like Automators, and Mac Power Users.

By the time I’ve called the police (which would feel utterly horrible), and the police have confirmed it was just plastic, I’d be a rattled mess for a long time. (I’m already mildly mentally ill and this would not help)

This would scar me for life and I’d never recover

If someone has truly changed their ways and reformed, I’d hope they could go on to start over.

It’s hard to judge someone else’s level of reformation though.

Awesome, thanks! I added a post too to help contribute

Absolutely gorgeous home organization, man!

(There doesn’t happen to be a home organization part of the Fediverse, is there?)
