Same.

With meds and caffeine if I decide to do it I can.

But if I find a reason to not (breakfast first, let me finish [not make, finish the whole thing] my coffee, let me just catch up on this creator, they made a new thing) I’ll do that thing and then actually forget and do another thing and now its 3pm and dang its ruined might as well finish this one thing before I do it anyway, oh its time to sleep

Excellent elaboration. You get an inspiration!

If you don’t even have teleportation wards up, anything could just pop in.

Proper liches have an inner sanctum setup and put traps outside of it.

But it’s hard making a way out that doesn’t let in pests.

Yeah. Good times.

Needed more creativity then just turn on the ps1 and then the TV

Eat enough that your body gets used to it?

If I had to guess I’d say its based on the amount of water I drink, and maybe coffee poops keeping me regular, less about the diet itself.

Dunno for sure, but I do know I have been so regular it was a surprise when someone told me a bidet reduces toilet paper usage, because I just didn’t believe it could do so. That’s because it can’t in my case. Takes me about as long to poop as it does to pee. Wish I could tell you what exactly I’m doing right but something is right.

Ignorance might be bliss, but knowledge is joy.

Always gotta wipe, just in case, but I rarely actually need to. No idea what I’m doing right so here’s some facts about my diet

1. I drink a gallon+ between straight water, coffee, and flavored sparkling water (no calorie, aspartame-sweetened)

2. My breakfast is usually cereal with 1% milk or bacon and eggs once a week.

Ramen for lunch

Pizza or pasta for dinner, with a vegetable side

Fruits and whatnot are eaten intermittently as snacks.

Hope this helps I guess its not the best diet but I’m always regular.

That’s true but anyone agaimt its inclusion would just say it doesn’t add to the story. “Clearly it detracts from the story, as the player would be distracted by the horrific event instead of enjoying the game” -some hypothetical mastercard Exec, right before fining Valve.

It’s not a court, so there’s no appeal from that, unless there’s an appeal granted by the contract itself.

Another vote for turn based RPGs, but that also includes ones like Pokémon.

Genie in the OP image would’ve said “OK you now have 0 wishes”.

Since he said 255, my interpretation is a valid solution.

Of course, if we’re talking hypothetical wish gaining prevention methods, I’d just have a check before,

previous_wishes = wishes;

{Do all the wish things. wishes ends up with a 255 because of our shenanigans}

If(wishes>=previous_wishes) wishes = previous_wishes-1;

;If the current number of wishes isnt less than the old number of wishes, set it to the old number and subtract 1

If(wishes==0) {/*TODO: write function to end wish giving sequence*/}

Nah theres just no process for undoing your submission.

It doesn’t matter when it’s decremented if you can’t interrupt the process, anyway.

In a code sense we pause for input, feed it to the wishmaker function, and pause until the thread returns, then decrement.

We could decrement first, also, but neither violates the rules.

You’re correct but you have an off by 1 error.

First, the genie grants the wish.

NumWishes=0;

Then, having completed the wish, the genie deducts that wish from the remaining wishes.

NumWishes–;

And to complete the thought,

Lastly, the genie checks if the lampholder is out of wishes

If(NumWishes==0) {…}

(255==0) evaluates to False, so we fall past that check.

I just learned about one, because of all this. A newer one. Gnu Taler

Also, crypto, technically. Its got a lot of baggage though, and hoops and all that.

Fucking does, I’m with you.

It works better for me if there’s actually someone there playing along, then it’s more like… A theater performance, everyone knows it’s fake but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen.

Of course, needing an emotional support human in a world where everyone else is busy is a very hard request to accommodate.

Got any strategies for working around this? I’m currently in year 6 in a 4 year program (I am in year 4 classes at least though) because I often just can’t get myself to do the assignments. It’s harder to not feel guilty when I’m hemorrhaging college money to fail, but the days where everything just works are pretty scarce lately.
