Two of the last three videos posted on the website in my profile attest to my confidence in my level.

Very carefully.

Yeah, I know. Fighter or Ranger would be a better choice.


I should note since I started putting "I can shave an angry bear with a skid loader" on my job applications and resume I've been offered every single job I applied for.

So, being Shiro's friend, we've watched a fair number of these, "Netflix partners with a Japanese studio to do live action anime", and for the most part they're not terrible.

We got through Bleach, Full Metal Alchemist, Gantz 0 (OK, computer animation rather than live action, but lots of fun), Mob Psycho 100 (for us, better than the anime), and a couple of episodes in to Death Note (but turned it off).

I suspect it will be mediocre, horrifically offend purists, but be otherwise forgettable.

Well, you're asking someone who has no idea on the numbers of fauna in a region, so what I did was to Google "animal name per square mile". Else what was I supposed to do, pause the game while I found research papers?

I guess the moral of the story is not to ask your GM on the general animal population when you use commune with nature.

To be honest if you were to ask me about fauna in my home country, I wouldn't even be able go give estimates per square mile, less say other places I'm not familiar with!

The fun things is, now all those beavers are in the area, officially, the party can spend a *lot* of time emptying water out of their boots and cursing all the 'water obstacles' if they don't just have a flying carpet or something. I think 350 odd beavers equates to fifty or so family groups which have been busy (as beavers) terraforming...

:D

Edit:
Actually, looks like average family size may be ten or so, which means only 35 families...
Still a good chance of running into beaver lakes though, unless the party is keeping to high ground or something.

So, here's a gripe I need to vent about and I have nowhere else to vent (for obvious reasons):

Every winter, our utility bill skyrockets from $130/month to $350/month.

Why?

Because at night I turn on the heat, close all the doors so only the bedrooms get heated, and then every other member of my family opens the doors and leaves them open, blowing heat into the outside world. Every single year I complain, I tirade, I show them what they'd doing to the bill, I diatribe, and yet our year-on-year gas comparison remains unchanged: They just cannot close doors.

Because at night I turn off all the lights, and in the morning turn on only the high-efficiency LED lights to light up the house, but people grabbing their morning coffee or breakfasts turn on the massive overhead fluorescents in the kitchen and leave them on all morning, burning half a kilowatt in and of themselves.

At 5:00 am when I get up everything is in energy-efficient apple-pie order. At 8:10 am once everyone else has gone out the doors, I go back through the house and find every energy-burning failure in our house re-implemented.

Every. Single. Day. Every. Single. Winter.

And I just cannot fathom how it can be SO hard to turn off the d***ed lights and close the door when you leave a room...

I am with you, friend. So. Very. Much.

Mrs. Sunrise and Yellow are good about closing outside doors -- well, I do ocassionally find them not quite clicked shut, but we live in Phoenix, so nobody just leaves outside doors wide open -- but I am literally the only one in the house who cares about turning lights off or locking doors. Mrs. Sunrise tries and is getting better about the lights because I've asked her to; but I still find lights on during our high-cost hours and at night, and doors unlocked at day's end. Yellow has even complained about falling down the stairs at night due to me turning the stair lights off on my way to bed -- which I have to talk to them about, because I'm 90% sure there's a switch for those lights in their room.

Anyway, yeah. Drives. Me. So. Crazy!

According to the quiz I'm a 6th level chaotic good human druid that cheated on his ability scores.

LOL. You may never want to come to our house, then. I think the only time *any* doors are locked are at night, when I leave my desk for a significant period, or SOME of us lock the bathroom door on occasion. Otherwise locked doors are just an irritation for the constant flow of people in and out of the house...

...and heck, Shiro doesn't even lock the door when he goes out 'cause it's cheaper to let a burglar in than to repair the door if they kick it down.

awful Good Human Monk (6th Level)

Ability Scores:
Strength- 10
Dexterity- 12
Constitution- 11
Intelligence- 15
Wisdom- 13
Charisma- 14

Alignment:
Lawful Good- A lawful good character acts as a good person is expected or required to act. He combines a commitment to oppose evil with the discipline to fight relentlessly. He tells the truth, keeps his word, helps those in need, and speaks out against injustice. A lawful good character hates to see the guilty go unpunished. Lawful good is the best alignment you can be because it combines honor and compassion. However, lawful good can be a dangerous alignment when it restricts freedom and criminalizes self-interest.

Race:
Humans are the most adaptable of the common races. Short generations and a penchant for migration and conquest have made them physically diverse as well. Humans are often unorthodox in their dress, sporting unusual hairstyles, fanciful clothes, tattoos, and the like.

Class:
Monks- Monks are versatile warriors skilled at fighting without weapons or armor. Good-aligned monks serve as protectors of the people, while evil monks make ideal spies and assassins. Though they don't cast spells, monks channel a subtle energy, called ki. This energy allows them to perform amazing feats, such as healing themselves, catching arrows in flight, and dodging blows with lightning speed. Their mundane and ki-based abilities grow with experience, granting them more power over themselves and their environment. Monks suffer unique penalties to their abilities if they wear armor, as doing so violates their rigid oath. A monk wearing armor loses their Wisdom and level based armor class bonuses, their movement speed, and their additional unarmed attacks per round.

I don't know how I got that "good" part, but I'll take it!

Hmmm... telling.

I'm surprised Bard and Sorcerer are so low, and Warlock is so high. Also kinda weird that human is high, elf is high, but half-elf is low.

That said, I don't agree with my results: not because I don't like them, but because I don't agree with my own answers to the quiz in question, as I object to how several of the question/answers are structured. Also 'cause I totally lied: there are clearly and demonstrably several things I wouldn't do at all, but either a) it presupposes I'm not married with kids, or b) it presupposes I'm much younger and/or healthier than I am (seriously, daggummit, how much more can I stress "I can't lift squat these days" than I did...?) or c) the question is entirely unanswerable as-presented and I was forced to choose between two equally invalid statements. Anyhoo, I do like it, though!

I am surprised that, other than Mort who calls herself Neutral, I seem to be the *only* person who got Neutral. And I got True Neutral!

Either I'm far more of a selfish so-and-so than I thought, or I over-analyzed the questions too much.

Example:

There was the one on, "If there were a famine, would you share your food?", and two of the answers were either, "Yes, certainly," or, "I would eat as little as possible, then share the rest."

For me, that's the difference between "Lawful Stupid" and "Lawful Good", because the second answer implies that the first answer actually means, "I will willingly starve to death to save other people."
I do not consider this "Good".

And maybe that's why I got rated "Neutral".

True Neutral Human Sorcerer (4th Level)

Ability Scores:
Strength- 11
Dexterity- 11
Constitution- 12
Intelligence- 18
Wisdom- 11
Charisma- 12

Alignment:
True Neutral- A true neutral character does what seems to be a good idea. He doesn't feel strongly one way or the other when it comes to good vs. evil or law vs. chaos. Most true neutral characters exhibit a lack of conviction or bias rather than a commitment to neutrality. Such a character thinks of good as better than evil after all, he would rather have good neighbors and rulers than evil ones. Still, he's not personally committed to upholding good in any abstract or universal way. Some true neutral characters, on the other hand, commit themselves philosophically to neutrality. They see good, evil, law, and chaos as prejudices and dangerous extremes. They advocate the middle way of neutrality as the best, most balanced road in the long run. True neutral is the best alignment you can be because it means you act naturally, without prejudice or compulsion. However, true neutral can be a dangerous alignment when it represents apathy, indifference, and a lack of conviction.

Race:
Humans are the most adaptable of the common races. Short generations and a penchant for migration and conquest have made them physically diverse as well. Humans are often unorthodox in their dress, sporting unusual hairstyles, fanciful clothes, tattoos, and the like.

Class:
Sorcerers- Sorcerers are arcane spellcasters who manipulate magic energy with imagination and talent rather than studious discipline. They have no books, no mentors, no theories just raw power that they direct at will. Sorcerers know fewer spells than wizards do and acquire them more slowly, but they can cast individual spells more often and have no need to prepare their incantations ahead of time. Also unlike wizards, sorcerers cannot specialize in a school of magic. Since sorcerers gain their powers without undergoing the years of rigorous study that wizards go through, they have more time to learn fighting skills and are proficient with simple weapons. Charisma is very important for sorcerers; the higher their value in this ability, the higher the spell level they can cast.

WTF - 18 intelligence and 12 charisma - and yet I'm a sorcerer? Because I'm a manipulative bastard. Probably Enchanter/Illusionist Wizard would be right.

Also I got equal scores for Neutral/Chaos, and damnnear NOTHING for law.

I also scored equal for NE, CE, NN, and CN.

So pretty much, I'm neutral, but with strong leanings towards chaos and evil.

Because I'm a jaded motherf@&#er.

Wow... I didn't even know they existed for 4' tubes.

But on Amazon I'm seeing a 12-pack of LED tubes for $90.

I only need 6, so it'll hopefully be an under-$50 job to save me a TON of stress!

Thanks for the idea! Going for it!!

From our private conversations, I can tell you're actually good at your job, and in it for the love of helping people. That's rare.

I learned Psychology because I wanted to get paid to talk, and because I think the brain is really, really, really cool. It's so damn cool.

Is it too late to get into research when I got my degree almost a decade ago? Probably.

This. There are nuances with their implications that I just... don't agree with.

And, see, it really depends on how you read the questions and answers, too.

Like, I read, "eat as little as I can myself" and figured that was the "starving to death" one, while I read "share equally" as "including myself" (hence the "equally" part).

That particular quiz is an oooooooollllllllllllld quiz that also used to include deity options, and had more questions. I liked the longer quiz a little better, because I could kind of "backtrack" on some questions by giving (if not opposing, than balancing) answers. This one isn't bad, it's just... a bit off.

Still, I'm not unhappy with my result!

Gotta love mental health clinics that close at 5pm.

Hate yourself at 5:15? Tough s~!#, a~&###$, get to the hospital and go broke with the cost, or wait until tomorrow. Your emergency can suck the cock of corporate hours.

I think right now I might just hate everything that is possible to be hated.

I am not a fan of 9 to 5 for mental health.

From our private conversations, I can tell you're actually good at your job, and in it for the love of helping people. That's rare.

I learned Psychology because I wanted to get paid to talk, and because I think the brain is really, really, really cool. It's so damn cool.

Is it too late to get into research when I got my degree almost a decade ago? Probably.

not at all. I am working in research as a 39 year old. Find a local college, find the psychology department and find out what fieldwork they are doing.

No, you do not get between me and my food. Unless you want to get clawed.

If you don't want to take the quiz, don't sweat about it- it's just for funsies.

Well think about those who help others with mental health issues - I'm not sure being on call 24/7 is good for their mental health as well.

I would certainly get mental health issues if I were expected to be on call for work 24/7.

Clean living and moral rectitude?

Yeah, not me.

I'd say it's just a busted algorithm. F*** it.

Because we're humbler then them all, Freehold. There's a limit to how much I can lift just by the fact I'm a small little bit. You would lift more then I could, Freehold, just because you're a lot bigger then I am. 5'1,129 lbs. What were you expecting?

NH, I'm bad with switching off lights but I'll always keep the doors closed. Don't want someone in my house stealing stuff, afterall.


I close and lock my front door. And my bedroom door when I'm sealed within. Occasionally, I'll close other doors, but otherwise, that's basically it.

I... am bad at turning off lights, 'cept when I'm trying to sleep. Oops.
