On the contrary, I learned nothing first and I struggled pretty bad.
After a while though you start to get a grasp on things.
0.8, 0.9, etc…
7·26 days agoThat reminds me, I once heard an irritated dad at a kids playground yell “cheese and rice”!
I love it. I’ve been enjoying “MotherFather” as a soft landing out of habitually cursing when frustrated.

Do you ever use librivox? There are a few specific readers I found there that are great for me to fall asleep to.
Utilizing the library is a good idea, I should really do they more. I know in the US they need our support too.
Lately I have been trying to notice my doom scrolling actually using it as a cue to convert that energy into reading something I’m interested in.
I’m trying to quit scrolling like I quit smoking decades ago: with intentional anger for being controlled and then redirection.
I have, on a few occasions, rebooted my reading habit from traveling by airplane.
I have found that if I do everything I can to feel as good as possible before a flight, and bring a book in my carry on, it’s one of the rare situations that there is nothing pulling me away from reading. I went somewhere for work last month and I finished 2 books on that trip. That made me really happy and motivated to keep it alive.
Yeah, I think asymmetric warfare is they key word I was grasping for.
I guess I wonder what other games, besides geopolitical competitions (or conflicts specifically) represent similar asymmetry
This is probably true of a lot of covert operations. Thanks for the history, I did not know that!
But those are just different debuffs!
I didn’t downvote you, I think you offered a thoughtful critique of the question.
Even if parties have wildly different objectives or winning conditions, if they didn’t have to compete for the same resources then they could cooperate or at least ignore each other. That wouldn’t be true if it were a race to finish first, but in that case they’ve started competing for the resource of time.
Maybe some folks thought it was a cop out answer, since I was seeking new perspectives rather than a reason to not ask for them? But, I think your response can help guide responses to even more extreme examples than some potentially topical ones by taking you up on your challenge.
Oh thanks for the tip! I’m going to try out the baldurs gate one
Seriously though this piqued a lot of interest for me. Thank you for this compact packet of fascinating info!
Interrupt your habits.
(take-a-break), so you have to go through the hassle of editing it to log in.You don’t need to be up to the minute or even the day for most of your interests, you can catch up when you have time to do so intentionally.
Interruptions cause you to slow down and give your will power a moment to catch up and intervene.
