The ADHD test was honestly one of the easier rhythm games I've played
This individual's Auditory Persistence quotient scale score of 160 (PR=99) fell in the exceptional range. Her score on the Auditory Persistence scale showed a significant speed-up in her auditory reaction time after the end of the main IVA-2 test period. This exceptional score on the Persistence scale is considered indicative of a more positive and motivated attitude toward the IVA-2 test than that of most of her peers. Given that her Auditory Stamina quotient score fell in the exceptional range, she was not identified by the test as being mentally fatigued in her ability to respond to auditory stimuli. This pattern of responding suggests that she does not get fatigued easily when required to process auditory stimuli.

Asking her if she would be able to ask the server what the “pup seasoning” in the dog meal is—a normal question that a normal person could conceivably ask for normal reasons—without giving herself away. And she says, no, there’s no way she could. Not with the collar on.

Going out last night, I had to make sure to Valentine up the look a bit:
Mirror outfit selfie. All black, mostly pleather—mid-thighs skirt with laces, corset with laces over a mesh top, shoulder and wrist armor-type accessory on one arm. Tall, very chunky Demonia boots. Low camera angle, looking down at you with a neutral expression.Face selfie, showing art eyeliner on one eye, black lips, contour, and a small red heart painted on one cheek as the only color accent

It's been a long journey playing this game, and it's somehow fitting that its ultimate accomplishment is also so profoundly silly: (infinite score--that is, playing a hand whose score exceeds the maximum value of a float and breaks the score counter)

Ok she was right about the smell. It’s really too bad I couldn’t go out tonight, so I can’t give her a chance to make good on the second part as well (yet)

Cleared 40 Fear in Hades 2. Mostly posting this for: 1) Highlighting just how much I am coping with any current goings-on in my life by descending into being a gaming gremlin 2) Pointing out specifically for @ridiculous.chat that, just like 5 years ago, FO0 is the easiest way to push in this game:

To be clear this is not at all irrelevant info. If I walk into a party looking like this and wearing those boots, it’s definitely going to be in people’s best interest if I’ve already made sure they’re safe to lick

When you want you know how to take care of a new pair of boots, so you ask your friends who are most into leather

Partner and I took down Day 1 yesterday. Took 6 or 7 attempts (2 went far, the others never got much going). The winning run was a total blast—really intense planning, dramatic RNG moments, and the extra stylishness of opening all 4 antechamber doors. (Sorry about screen picture)

Oh hey, it's me. Very literally--feeding and care of the ~Giant Grid Of Numbers~ was one of my personal projects for the entire 7 years I worked on WoW. Including the 8.0 and 10.0 squishes. The sheer complexity of a full squish of a game that was that enormous was a fascinating problem.
However, since WOW must continue to support all content they’ve ever released forever, doing some kind of content rotation was not in the cards. Instead, World of Warcraft would introduce the concept of the “stat squish” where power and complexity curves would be flattened - a sort of global scaling down of power to keep the complexity and power of new content from getting too ridiculous. Since old content was, for the most part, only there for achievements and cosmetics and not for actual character progression, the amount of power those old items needed could be squished down with minimal player complaints.
