[Rant e Domanda Retorica] Ma cosa si puo' fare per le segreterie e reparti insopportabili?

Sono appena stato al tirocinio di -Insert Specialita' che non menziono-. Noi dobbiamo fare almeno l'80% del tirocinio (quindi di solito il venerdi' siamo convalidati e ciao a tutti).

A -Specialita'- il primario e' simpatico e ci fa fare comunque tutti i giorni e ci fa anche fare un esamino teorico importante prima di poter convalidare il tirocinio.

Detto questo, ho chiesto piu' e piu' volte alla segreteria universitaria come fare e cosa fare per il tirocinio.

Settimana scorsa ho chiesto se potevo recuperarlo ed era tutto un "ma lei perche' non l'ha fatto quando era il tempo?" "ma lei perche' non l'ha recuperato prima", ma fatti i cazzi tuoi sinceramente.

Dei colleghi hanno detto che sul sito non risulta essere presente lo strutturato che li ha seguiti (cosa che la segreteria dovrebbe risolvere) e hanno detto che non si sa e devono chiedere allo strutturato;

Io ho chiesto quando si puo' fare sto esamino illegale che non dovrebbero poter fare e mi ha detto di informarmi con il professore.

Ma voi che cazzo fate?

Oggi sono entrato nel cucinotto per chiedere all'infermiera dove fossero le pressioni della paziente che avevamo in ambulatorio. L'ho trovata li' a mangiarsi i pasticcini con le segretarie (nulla di male, a me non frega niente, probabilmente al primario da' fastidio? boh) e le ho solo chiesto dove fossero le pressioni.

Dopo essere uscito in corridoio di nuovo mi ha preso la segretaria e mi ha detto che ho avuto comportamenti irruenti e irrispettosi verso le persone del day hospital, che sono un ospite e di non farlo piu'. Ho chiesto cos'ho fatto di male e non mi ha detto niente e mi ha rimandato in ambulatorio.

Ma oh? Che vita di merda avete? Dovete rompere le palle a me perche' voi siete frustrati?? Io non ho parole, gli spec mi hanno confermato che si son pentiti di essere entrati qui e che tornando indietro non entrerebbero qua.

Niente, datemi le vostre perle da vita universitaria che avete vissuto.

Ma voi cosa fate dopo un esame?

Sono a Medicina. Ho appena passato Farmacologia, uno degli esami piu' importanti e odiati da molti, nonostante i Professori fossero letteralmente dei pezzi di pane e avendo studiato non tutto, dopo trenta minuti di orale mi sono portato a casa un onesto 25 e una pacca sulla spalla.

Tornato a casa, non ho sentito nulla. Mi siedo al computer e guardo i prossimi esami da fare. Quello che vedo online e' di fare festa / prendersi il tempo per festeggiare / riconoscere il mio risultato.

Io non funziono cosi'. Sono fuori corso anche per questo. Mi sale l'ansia a vedere che ora ho solo altri esami da fare.

Tornando indietro avrei fatto altro probabilmente, o avrei strutturato il mio studio diversamente.

I found a good Homebrew for Dungeon Turns in 5e, but what about movement?

I was reading through OSE to check Dungeon Procedures and found them a bit complicated for something i tend to simplify a lot.

I watched this video by Mystic Arts about how he runs Dungeon Turns and I got his Dungeoneering Rules.

The gist of it is using 10 minute stretches of time so the players can decide what to do with the golden idol in the middle of the room while the wizard casts Detect Magic. It's a neat, minimal setup that matches what i wanted. But i wanted to know how you guys deal with movement in dungeons, checking for traps etc.

Should i just give the party a Stretch Movement speed of like, 3x or 4x their combat speed to reliably find traps with their Perception checks?

So the procedure would be

Stretch

Party Moves

Perception for secret doors and loot

New Room

Stretch 1 Ends

Stretch 2 Starts

Party says what they want to do

Resolve Actions

Stretch 2 Ends,

Party travels through a winding tunnel 200 feet long? 1 Stretch?

Removing Darkvision to reinstall Infravision, and more specific race visions.

My next campaign is inching closer every day and I'm considering what to do with the dreaded darkvision. It is something that at my table makes things a bit too easy. We never consider lighting, and we literally just had a campaign where it was dark all the time but characters were unfazed. Yes, yes, i could have handled it better, but this is not the reason for posting.

I want to implement Infravision for most darkvision PCs, and to leave Darkvision only for species like Dwarves, Duergars and Drow.

Other considerations i had

Fire Genasi, Elves, Tieflings get Infravision.

Earth Genasi and Water Genasi get Tremorsense up to 10 feet.

I want to remove darkvision making every dungeon delve without light, and species' visions to be VERY different but also to not completely nerf or buff some species.

What do you guys think?

How connected should Plot Hooks be with a Sandbox?

So, i've been looking a bit into the Sandbox, and there seems to be 2 Schools of Thought:

The Purists: The purists only prepare the world, situations propping up, NPCs of Influence and Power, and just plop down the party into a breathing, living world, seeing where the party goes. Connecting or trying to weave a story into the sandbox is considered trying to make a linear campaign with just smaller arcs.

The Compromisers: The Compromisers like to make a Sandbox and create a breathing living world, but they also want to connect some of the stories the party is doing: The Bandit Lord is the brother of the King and is actually trying to reclaim the throne, the Lich's Apprentice is the missing wizard, and things like these.

I seem to like more the Compromiser way, where some quests are connected.

Is the Purist way even feasible? Given enough time, connections HAVE to prop up in a smaller area like a town or small village, it's only natural that the two/three/four big players in the area want the same thing or know each other.

Am I wrong? What's the best version in your opinion? What's the pros and cons of each side? which side are you on?

How do I make the least alcohol possible?

My Kombucha in F2 takes 2days (it's warm) to build a bit of a fizz. I've seen everything online. Reducind F2, reducing the sugar, no but the sugar is turned into alcohol which becomes acid because of the bacteria. Which is it?

I don't want a discussion on how low of an alcohol content it is, i just wanna know how to ensure i don't have any. I have an intolerance towards it and can feel even light%

How much can new inlays change my bite? 30M

I went to the dentist i've been going to for years to get 2 dental inlays cause the cavities on tooth 16 (Universal 3? top right first molar) and tooth 36 (Universal 19? bottom left also first molar). I've previously had braces until 20. Splinting is still intact at the top, mostly, but the bottom one was fully removed cause of breakage a year ago in June. I also broke my night mask in half by mistake but kept using it until the inlays.

In May I had this appointment to make the inlays (big inlays, almost like crown i'd say) and we had some issues with occlusion (completely normal i guess). After making them we scanned to make the new masks (they're light, bouncy and transparent, mostly for protection) and the dentist made me a bottom one too (without asking, I'm not trying to bitch, i'm just saying we agreed to x amount of money and they made me pay extra for the bottom mask without asking me if it would be ok to have.)

These are the third night masks i have in 10 years, broke through the first one with my front teeth. Broke the second one in half by mistake, and now I have these called Essix masks. Very tight and conforming, they told me they have a small storage for whitening fluid if i want to. (I don't know what might or might not be important to say so i'm saying everything, i'm sorry).

Using both, my masseters in the morning are aching like mofos, and I feel like they're moving my jaw forward. I used them both for the weekend, contacted the dentist, made a modification, used only the top one, still achy, dentist said to not use them anymore and just stop.

Since the Inlays i've noticed that my front left central incisors are smashing onto each other while eating. I've noticed also that at resting position those same teeth are touching the moment i push a little bit forward. This has never happened. I've not had any issues whatsoever with chewing since the braces so this has been a new thing. Today I went again to the dentist, and she said to use only the bottom mask (not the dentist that did my inlays btw, I think she's the one that took off my bottom Splinting though) and she filed down my top splinting so the bottom incisor has room to breathe.

What got me a bit confused is that she says that the inlays are not the culprits of the situation, but it's just my teeth that are moving without splinting and the masks.

I can understand cause my teeth, especially front, have moved over the years, but are the inlays not to blame at all?

I can post pictures, but i don't know how helpful those could be for my question.

A lot of Noob questions for Sandbox campaigns.

So let me preface with the fact that we finished Rime of the Frostmaiden in May, and are on Summer break trying new systems. At the feedback talk we had, the players mentioned that they felt like the campaign was a bit too easy and that there was a bit of lack of consequences. Partly my fault and partly the modules'.

I come to the hivemind asking: I want to now run a Sandbox campaign incorporating the feedback the party gave and what they want to see in a campaign a bit, making a new world (maybe recycling the ones i already had made years ago for different campaigns, we'll see) and letting the players go wild with the Sandbox situation i'll draw up. The question is: How do i do it?

I started rewatching some Covid Era videos from Colville, found this and this while searching in the subreddit and online, but i still had some questions:

  • A. How do i seed the adventures? What adventures to choose? The 5x5 method looks doable, some examples: Defeat the Orcs in Wyrm Crag forest. Resolve the conflict of the Thieves' Guild in Homlet. Find the lost Wizard in the Temple of the Serpent Knights.

My problem is, how long should these adventures be? How can i know the adventure is enough? Can i just look up some OSR modules for characters level 1-3 which is like 4 sessions long and plop them down like Colville does?

  • B. How do i tell the players this? Yea sure, Rumor tables, but am i supposed to roll one or two before the session and find a way to drop them in conversation? "You go to the blacksmith looking for +1 weapons, but he sighs and mentions the Orc attacks that have plagued the Dwarvish shipment coming lately, so he's out of any magic weaponry" or "The Castellan has put out a bounty on a rapidly worsening Orc situation, they've been raiding and ammassing resources in their camp, Gods know for what. 10000gp for the head of their chieftain, before it's too late and they attack"

  • C. Suppose the Party chooses to go after the wizard first and then they come back after some days and the Orc situation has spilled over to raids or even a siege of the town. How do I make the players not feel terrible for not being able to do everything?

  • D. The party slaughters the Orcs and finds out that they've been pushed by something from the Mountains into this territory, so now a White Dragon has entered the picture. How and when should I stop? How do I know an adventure is over? I tend to usually take my time with quests and connect stuff a lot. When is it too much? Should I always just have some plot hooks for kind of every adventure a-la "well the Thieve's Guild Headmaster has a handkerchief with some initials and blood on it"? Sure the party would like to fuck up a white dragon, the fighter got a new shield of elemental Absorption, this would be the perfect segway. Should I just listen to the heart of the cards my players and say "well ok, they want to destroy the dragon, let's flesh out the Mountain region and the party has decided to let the other adventures happen anyway"?

So, imagine the party follows the whole story, I just let the 5x5 format run its course, the party comes back after 2 months, the thieves' guild has taken over the streets with a bloodbath, the wizard is still missing and his rival is bringing an army in to take over the town?

  • E. I really like the concept of a Sandbox campaign, the only problem is the usual paradox of players: They say they like x, but actually in play the prefer y, but they just don't know it.

Full freedom is appealing, and a big part of why our hobby is what it is. A-la Todd Howard: "See that mountain? You can go there". The only problem is: How do i make my players want that?

What's an unexpectedly important thing you had to research for Worldbuilding?

Back when i first started DMing, i got into this whole rabbit hole of how languages mix and match over time, and how words progressively lose vowels and consonants as time and generations goes by. One thing that could come up for example is how fossilized Elvish cities names would be. Always the same since the beginning, cause of the long lives of the Elves.

What is in your opinion, something that changed completely how you worldbuild, or that you think changed unconsciously how you build? Especially when you know most players won't notice and/or care

For me, most settlements have to be close to water ALWAYS or have a very valid reason to exist. I don't even think about it. Most of my campaigns have been on a lake or sea, with connections for landlocked towns (dwarves that had some way to extract water)

Specifically I'm thinking of a futuristic setting where the apocalypse has set back humanity a-la Horizon, and now wizards and druids exist (could also be not magic butextremely qadvanced scient, which is basically the same thing)

I was thinking of running a campaign in OSE with a setting like that but i wanted to hear from you guys

I got a weird knee injury we can't seem to figure out

So, I'm 31, male, never had any issues, worked out for the past.... 5? years? On and Off. Consistently now for 3/4 years.

I do have though some knee pain since May. This past year, when fulling squatting down for house chores, with fully bent knees, my left knee started hurting when going back to fully extended.

Now after May I cannot fully bend the left knee without stabbing, intense pain on the lateral side. It feels like i'm pinching something (not physically pinching, but the pain) I now automatically put my weight on my right knee when needing to crouch down to do something.

The knee feels a little unstable when walking, but i've always had knees that tend to lock out (overflex when walking, but only when stepping down onto the floor.)

What I've done before my 30s: I had multiple accidents, nothing major, had to get stitches on my right leg that forced me to walk with a limp for some months at 16. I've also done some basketball, but never had any major injuries to the knees that weren't cuts, contusions from falling off a bike.

What I was doing before the injury: I go to the gym regularly, squatted with no issue up to 100Kg, with low ankle mobility so i had to use some weights for form. (had to squat with my heels up while working on mobility). I did feel "wobbly" on the weights but i thought it was because of the weight amount.

What happened: nothing specific, i suddenly felt that i couldn't crouch completely down. No bruising, no swelling, little to no warmth difference between the two legs. I don't know if it was a lack of warm up or anything, but i now have this lingering injury. I did, though, start Front Squats at the beginning of march, slowly going up in weight but never quite as high, which might put more pressure on the knee i guess. I did start squatting 2 of the 3 times I went to the gym, which meant I may e didn't get enough rest in between sets.

What I had done medically speaking:

My GP visited me and felt the knee and we saw that my pain is on the bone when touched (mostly lateral) and not on the cartilage, so she assumed it could be a tendonitis. I took 10 days of 400mg Ibuprofen, 3/day without any result. I felt little to no effect.

Last week i had an X-Ray that highlighted nothing particular. I still don't have the file but the report says no asymmetries, no bone issues, all limits normal.

I did the Thessaly test and sometimes i have pain sometimes not. I have some positive pain to the McMurray test.

If when sitting i pull with my hamstrings, like when sitting on a chair and trying to pull myself forward, i feel pain.

My GP and Personal Trainer both say i overloaded my joints and to work on my muscle stability. Could be, I just wanted a second opinion cause i started doing some knee strengthening exercises, with no weight, balancing, and it's not getting better. I wish it was something easy but i also am scared of not doing anything and ending up with a effed up knee later on.

I'm doing Isometric spanish squats, and focusing also on bulgarian split squats with a focus on slow movement, activating the quad. (3/week)

What do you guys think? What should I expect from this?

Honestly? Fuck Kenny

Boohoo, your family died and you have the emotional maturity of a 12 year old? No wait, worse, Clem lost her parents and was a bit of a weight, but managed to help and became the therapist of fucking everyone in season 2.

I am looking for my surrogate daughter after taking care of her for months and saving your child's life, having to shoot him, having to wrestle with your childish behaviour?

"I don't know if you're there for me Lee, i cannot count on you"

Miss me with that "he's a good character because he's a realistic person". My asscheeks. Do you think an asshole like that would actually last a month into the outbreak, treating people like shit and snapping every single moment something goes his way but slightly different from what he had in mind?

Fuck you Kenny, you're a piece of shit.

Rant over. Gonna go get screamed at for trying to save his gf's life when she got bitten because he wanted to take his time fucking up Carver.

What did we do wrong when cooling down the house?

So we leave in a south facing (no windows, just the bedroom and living room walls) apartment in Southern Europe. The sun is up from Midnight to Midnight the next day. It was 27ºC yesterday night at 10pm. We left the windows open and the house got to 28ºC from the radiant heat of the walls baking in the sun.

I decided to try the fan hack to create a current pushing warm air out. I kept the bedroom windows completely open, closed the other rooms, and put a fan pushing warm air out, half a meter away from the window in the kitchen. I kept the blinds in the kitchen down so the air could only come out and not in, and i went to sleep.

(All the windows here are french doors and go from one side of the building to the other, but there's a hallway and wall in the middle of the house that breaks possible cross-currents. (think of its like a reverse 6 basically?))

At 8am the house bedroom was at 26ºC, is now at 27 and the living room is still at 27.4ºC.

(We have retractable awnings and we keep them down when the sun shines on that area, today we'll also try keeping the blinds down too and the curtains closed.)

The wind was 5 km/h max yesterday.

What did we do wrong? Should we just up the speed of the fan and hope it does its work tonight? Keep all the windows open?

The other day we kept all windows open and let nature do its work. The house was at 25/26 until evening. (19C minimum temperature)

This time the minimum temperature was 21C and we're starting to melt at 11 am already.

Playing a demanding (i'm on a laptop so that's already kind of limited) game is melting me, touching the computer and feeling the heat coming out is making me sweat internally.

What do you recommend that maybe has pixel graphics or at least very low specs needed to play?

Maybe on the couch too.
