I've spent a bit of time playing the game.

Will the game hold my hand the entire play through ? What made me stop after an hour or so is that everything is indicated, the game hand holds the fuck out of you and I don't get to do a single thing of my own volition, is this gonna be like this the ENTIRE time ??? Please say no because I really want to like this game but I don't want to sink in more time only to find out that yeah, its gonna babysit me the whole playthrough.

I don't want it to explain what each building is or that I have to place them or upgrade or that I need to go to the kitchen to cook. Mf I KNOW. I have a BRAIN.

EDIT: wow you guys are not nice. I'm genuinely asking about the game because of my own preferences. No I don't mind quest, I mind quests that tell you every step of them specifically. Its my right to like or dislike that.

This is by far the least nice community for a wholesome game. It makes me not want to play it at all

Hello all, looking for advice.

I have a bit of a peculiar path when it comes to education.

I got an associate after high school and haven't been to school between then (2018) and when I recently restarted my education (2025). I learned software engineering for 2 years and then worked for 3 years in between.

My grades then were pretty average.

I had a rocky start in 2025 ( I am in the US and Trump became president, and well, I felt compelled to help affected communities) TL;DR, my grades were not what I had hoped for them.

Nothing too bad , just some Bs and As and one C. Most of all my class load was pretty low because of this.

Regardless, last I checked my GPA, not counting my previous institutions classes is 3.6, not including Spring grades because somehow they are still not finished grading.

I'm aiming for top universities, because that's the only thing that motivates me, but I feel like I won't be able to get into them.

I have this summer semester and the fall semester left before I can transfer so decent opportunities to raise my GPA.

So my question, what more should I be doing ? I have personal projects going and am in the robotics club. I aim to finish my transfer degree this fall and transfer next fall, but maybe I should take more classes in spring too and bump my GPA ? Maybe I should join more clubs? I don't have a car and live far from uni so that's not ideal.

How can I raise my chances of getting into a top uni ? What does a good candidate look like ?

I'm studying aerospace but would really like to double major.

Greetings, travelers and keepers of the Light,

In times of darkness, I believe it is not enough to merely play the hero on the weekends.

I am seeking to form a localized Order of Paladins right here in the Bay Area, aiming to translate our belief for the classic Paladin ethos into direct, real-world mutual aid.
We are looking for squires, smiths, and paragons who want to band together, don the armor, and serve those in need.

Activities include but are not limited to :

• Forging the Panoply (Creating Armor): We will design and create our armors using the most sustainable, nature friendly means. 3d printing, CAD, recycling of metals and parts.
• The Bread & Hearth Initiative (Distributing Food): True strength is used to sustain the weak. We will recover surplus food, craft some from home or forage for local fruits and directly distribute it to our unhoused and vulnerable neighbors.
• Purging the Blight (Cleanup Projects): We will take up our "weapons" (brooms, trash pickers, and tools) to reclaim and restore our local parks, rivers, and community spaces from neglect.
• Shielding the Innocent (General Volunteering): We will help the community however we can. Groceries for vulnerable neighbors, keeping company to the elderly, helping kids learn, there is plenty to do all around.
• Growing the ranks (recruiting): We will participate in Ren faires and hope to get new members. The more the merrier !

Who we are looking for: Everyone !
Whether you are a seasoned heavy-combat fighter, a CAD designer, a 3D printing enthusiast, an experienced mutual aid organizer, or simply someone who believes the world needs more chivalry, come ! There is a place at our round table.

PS: A project dear to my heart, is to someday earn the trust of local orgs and be able to organize a day or week where we can provide showers, clothe swap or cleaning services, hair cuts and shaving, and pet grooming to the unhoused community.

PS2: No, this isn't a thing where people will have to pay membership dues. Free for all to join and stay. I also aim for this to be a leaderless initiative.

With love <3

Hey everyone,

I guess I'm just starting on this discovery journey so I'm pretty lost.

I.. Like gay men. I don't know, I just like them more than straight men. I think there's a lot that goes into that statement but I don't think I want to write it all out, maybe some other time.

But here's the thing, I'm a woman that likes gay men. And... I'm not sure actually, if I want to be a woman.

Ever since I was a kid, I wanted to be a boy. I've always acted like and dressed like a boy until recently. Even today, if I cut my hair, people will call me sir. I act offended around my friends but... really, I couldn't care less. I guess , I figured I'd just be a more masculine woman. I tried to wear dresses and skirts but it always feels awkward. But I also don't completely want to *not* be a woman.

I'm unsure if I just dislike the power dynamic between men and women and I just like doing "boy" things, or if there's more to it. I don't know how to tell.

... I don't know, I think I would want to be both. Maybe. I mean why should I have to choose. I should be able to be whatever I feel like being right? Even if that's both or in between or neither at any given time... Right? Is that something that people do? Is that ... Fine ?

Hello,

I am training my two cats. One of them more skittish than the other.

I've (tried to) train them to wait before eating because I give them a half can each and it takes time to split and I don't want them making it harder than it is by trying to eat it while its not ready.

When I say wait, they wait, and when I say eat, they are allowed to eat.

But I think I have traumatized the more skittish cat, I was giving them some treats and I said wait. The skittish cat just walk away from the food and hides when I approach her and won't eat the treats. I'm scared this is associating treat = bad.

She does the sane thing, curiously when I feed her some dry food. We have an automatic feeder. If I feed her manually she is fine. If the automatic feeder turns on, that is also fine, bur if I manually start the feeder, she won't way until you are gone from the area and won't let you approach her. I think this is triggered by the beeping noise of the feeder when you manually start it.

I don't know how to fix this, my other cat seems totally fine and has none of these issues.

The skittish cat is very close to me though, I raised her since she was a week old, could this be a factor ?

Please help!

One if my wildest idea is to create a solarpunk movie, with the people from this sub.

I feel that it shouldn't be about solarpunk per se, but set in it. With enough mentions and clear shots of that kind of society and culture that people would go " why don't we have this"

I think the future most imagine right now is pretty bleak. I want to give people hope and vision for a better future, one that we van achieve if we start now. Solarpunk is that hope.

And while movies aren't really a concrete change, they are the seed that while eventually bloom into it. And I hope that by making it we can also come up with solutions to make this real.

Anyways if you are interested, in you went to be an actor, write, producer, if you know anything about movies or if you simply want to help, just let me know!

Let's all think about what this could be about and how we can make it !
