Look at what you've done. You spoiled it. You have nobody to blame but yourself. Go sit and think about your actions.
Don't be mean. Rudeness is a vicious cycle, and it has to stop somewhere. Exceptions for things that are funny. Go to the current Competition of the Finest 'Brews! It's a cool place where cool people make cool things.

I have a question for the amazing ppls of this thread :3
Is there a way to put spoilers in a post without pressing the designated button?
I am unable to use any of the buttons like the spoilers and the dice roller so I have to type them manually. is there a way to manually put a spoiler in a post?
You could manually code it:
<div class="spoiler"> <p>Put your spoiler here.</p> </div>
Nevermind. You'd need to edit the html code too, of the post by clicking the </> bracket in the menu.

Sadly they, for whatever reason, cannot hit the buttons, they don't work on their phone, and weirdly they cant put it in landscape mode

Yeah, this style of forum (the underlying code for it) has never been particularly friendly to readers, and decidedly note intended for use with mobile devices. The code comes from a time when "accessibility" wasn't even a word most programmers knew, and pretty much none save a handful understood.
Not that I can claim much better -- wordpress has some of the same issues.
That said, you won't find me doing too much with the buttons there if I am using a device (tablet or phone) -- I only ever do those on my laptop.
It wouldn't surprise me if part of the reason they can't open the app up to wider functionality was the original dev team used a lot of older, open source-ish stuff like they used for the forums. I mean, the core parts of the site are built around a very common set of tools for news, forums, and DB access -- and the DB access is tied into those common tools, as that's how they make the tooltips and such work using a another open source linkage thingy.
Eventually they wil hav to move to a custom code if they ever hope to bring more stuff into the app proper. And that will depend on users.

I know that the folks in here (for the most part) are older than me, so, 30’s and up. I’ve got few friends, and not any I can really talk to about this sort of thing. For the most part, all my life, I’ve been single. School, work, and my own ideas and writing have always come first, save in a few very short lived scenarios. Well, there’s someone incredible whom I’ve known for a good few years now, and I’m finally trying to do something. This person means the world to me, and I’ve proposed a more intimate relationship before and she just wasn’t really interested in anyone. Now though, I know she’s open to dating. From the wise elders here, those with much higher charisma than me… anything? I will literally take anything. I have no one to talk to about real stuff except her (and some very good friends I rarely have a chance to talk to or see) and you guys mean something to me. So, if there’s anything at all I could know, I welcome the knowledge. PMs are fine if that’s what you prefer for this scenario.
The thing about environmental stuff is that it stacks. The one thing that section doesn't address (a later one does) is the duration of such things, and how they build up.
Unless there is magic involved, generally speaking there will be a couple hours of temperature change, then wind that increases before suddenly dropping off, and then the storms and wind hits, stacking up and building up.
Getting some decent impacts figured out for flying and ships was kinda fun to research. The NOAA wind speed tables gave me a lot of it, I just basically used them as my core guides. Temperature extremes was interesting to me -- I am fairly accustomed to high heat (110 to 120) but apparently that's at the "upper range" of human stuff.
It is also somewhat bothersome, since I find anything under 80 to be "cold" to have to work within "typical people range".
Harrumph.
I do like the Swamp gas and quicksand parts -- looking forward to using those, lol.
I suspect December will be spent doing a gazillion small posts instead of these longer ones. A lot of the rules additions and such that I use will end up in a format for other folks to use if they want.
it occurs to me that a lot of the stuff I add in makes it seem like I might like the "gritty realism" rules -- but I don't, lol. I want the heroic grit. Gritty Heroism?

I am…
really bad at that stuff, lol. I can be in a relationship and give advice on that, but my hubby died and I sorta turtled myself as a result.
I will say that when it comes to this kind of thing, it can hurt to ask and it can hurt to not ask, but…
The hurt is the kind of thing that makes it easier each time, if you let it. I reached a point in my late 20’s where I found it easier to just ask if it was possible than to fret over it, and I can fret over things for years.
But it can sting if there isn’t. I have been in relationships with several of my group, before their current ones. 40 years, and some of those stings are still sore. But they would hurt more and have poisoned the bonds we have if we hadn’t asked, hadn’t figured out where we stood with each other.
As a psychologist, I should tell you you the anxiety about doing it or not doing it, how to do it, what will happen, and all that is harmful, is human, and is getting in the way.
and ain’t that a ***** about it?

Hi. I’m probably not older than you and I don’t even know you, but here’s my advice. If you’re sure she’s open to dating, go ahead and ask her out again. If she says yes, it’ll make you really happy. If she says no, it’ll hurt for a little while, but it’ll fade quickly. One thing for sure: if she’s really your friend, you won’t lose her friendship just because you asked her out, even if she says no. My advice is go for it.

Take the shot. You’ll always regret it if you don’t, but even if she turns you down again you’ll never regret it if you do.

I've been single for.... Close to a decade? So I have doubts about the value of my advice on such things. But for what it's worth, I think IAmSposta and WoodsGirl0402 have it right.
Dating is sort of a game with no formal rules, where if you don't like someone's house rules you generally just quit playing. As the saying goes, No Dating Is Better Than Bad Dating. But the same advice holds true: communication is key.
I do think the cultural story we tell where two people are a fated pair and it's some combination of pointless, sinful, or deleterious for either of them to pursue another, is bad for our health. In part because it leads to situations where one's interactions with The One are unpracticed and clumsy, and not in the cute Hallmark way. But y'know, listen to any lovebirds talk about how they got together, you'll see how much of that clumsy awkwardness is overlooked, perhaps not immediately but certainly with the passage of time.

Since you know I'm 14, I'm inexperienced in these matters, and the question wasn't geared towards me, I couldn't help but say the following: My advice will suck but what I would do if I were in your shoes is I would ask her out and hope for a nat 20 on Charisma. :)
It was 10 years ago this month (in 14 days) that my husband passed.
Damn. Time does fly when you are having grie, err, I mean, fun.

Damn. Time does fly when you are having grie, err, I mean, fun.
Oh I’m so sorry. It always hurts to lose someone. I’m sure he is out there somewhere watching you and smiling.
This^
Most everyone can empathize with the feeling of when death comes knocking a loved one's door, and I'm sorry that this happened to someone who was close to you as your partner is.
Oh, he's definitely waiting, lol. It has been ten years -- I've gotten used to it. Besides...
I have accomplished a lot of new things, such as changing the way an entire region does certain kinds of medical care across multiple companies and agencies. He always loved to hear about what new thing I was doing, so now he's waiting for me to catch up and give him all the new stories.
I am not a believer in love at first sight or fated anything. But I have to say that what he and I had was something really different. And now that I think about iit, it is even more applicable to the current situation, lol.
Amnon, do the two of you have a mutual friend who would be willign to set you two up on a blind date?
Yeah yeah, meet cute BS and all that, but, um, seriously, Dave was in a similar spot. He was worried to ask me out (specifics vary, but essentially he was worried I would shoot him down). So he asked a mutual to arrange a blind date.
A rather pushy mutual.
Just a thought -- a blind date might kind of take some of the pressure off, especially if approached as a "just have fun" thing.

So much great content! I really love this place.
And from that, I need to ask something
I know that the folks in here (for the most part) are older than me, so, 30’s and up. I’ve got few friends, and not any I can really talk to about this sort of thing. For the most part, all my life, I’ve been single. School, work, and my own ideas and writing have always come first, save in a few very short lived scenarios.

Finally got comfortable enough with my Environmental stuff that I posted it: https://www.wyrlde.com/codex/environmental-conditions/
The thing about environmental stuff is that it stacks. The one thing that section doesn't address (a later one does) is the duration of such things, and how they build up.
