A wet fart is a slightly more polite way to say shit yourself.

Basically if there is poo in your undies after a fart it was a wet day.

For me realising that I care for people (as a job) and if I don't get it right my patients could get hurt means I'm much more likely to ask for help for anything from little simple things to bigger my mental health is suffering and I need more support from all aspects of my life.

Asking for help isn't easy, everyone wants to be strong and self sufficient, remember we are a social species and evolved to work in groups and help each other. Think how you feel when you can help someone or if you've been asked to help and remember that when you seek help.

I message my wife when I get to work and when I'm leaving. So somewhere between an hour and 7 or 8 depending on exactly when in my day I get nabbed for her to notice.

My work colleagues would probably try to call me if I didn't turn up (I've fallen off my bike before so they might suspect that) but I don't think they would put out a police report immediately if I just didn't turn up one morning.

Bohemian Rhapsody. Every time.

I have a rough idea of my outgoings each month as compared to my income and I just make sure I don't spend more than I earn at least most of the time.

My wife occasionally sits down and does a proper budget so we can move around recurring payments and make sure we keep things fair.

It's a lot better than other electric toothbrushes whilst retaining waterproofing.

Yup, you need to send it back to them but for a few quid (or included if you have their replacement head subscription) they will change the battery for you.

We have recently gotten ourselves some SURI toothbrushes and they are eco friendly, repairable, the heads are recyclable/ biodegradable. They also give a better clean than my old oral b electric. Quieter too. Highly recommend.

For car camping a double roll mat and double sleeping bag has made a world of difference especially for my wife who's a cold sleeper, sharing a bag let's her steal my warmth. We've had a Vango comfort roll mat for a good few years now and it doesn't pack small but it's nearly as comfy as my mattress at home.

Wildsea is great, the setting is wonderful and I'm really enjoying the mechanics so far. We're 4 sessions in and have played through the introductory adventure. It's a very solar punk hopeful setting (at least how I'm running it) which we all need more of at the minute I think.

I'm looking forward to getting the books for slugblaster, I've had a read of the PDF and it sounds like a lot of fun.

Is there anything you're particularly interested in from the bundle?

[–] Berttheduck@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 week ago (3 children)

If I didn't already have most of the games I want from this bundle I'd have got it in a second. It's got some really excellent systems there.

Playing Wildsea at the minute and totally loving it.

Just finished a Spire campaign. Good system fascinating setting.

Nights black agents it's pretty cool and has a co-op series for it.

Slugblaster sounds like great fun and is probably my next game after Wildsea, I'm waiting for my books to arrive in print.

Vassen has some excellent art and lore but I've not run it.

Masks has an excellent reputation and has been on my list to get for a long time.

Some really strong game systems in there.

Tunic is amazing. I wouldn't say souls-like necessarily, more old school Zelda. Though the final boss is nails and very souls.

 

So I've just started a game of Wildsea (green apocalypse happens and now everyone lives on top of a sea of trees and sales in chainsaw ships).

I'm running my players through the intro module to search for a library ship then going to let them have at the world.

Probably going to give them a few options for direction: Foxloft - where every ecological niche is filled with foxes. Dragons Reach - as above but with plant dragons and lots of lizards. (Got the field guide to floral dragons and it just fits so well with Wildsea). The Gau (mushroom people) lands.

Wildsea is very player driven so I'm not sure what my players are going to be interested in yet as we're only 1 session into this game, they have picked a ship for exploring though so probably plenty of travel.

Anyone else run Wildsea? Any favourite locations or themes to include in an exploration game?
