Moral dilemmas in Avernum 4
Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Sunday, July 8 2007 20:27 Profile Homepage #48 The rule of thumb is closer to a week. As of last check, my impression was that topic revival was okay as long as you have something genuinely new and useful to add that justifies bringing back up the discussion. Xyra's was borderline. Laudimir's was bad (because it was useless). I'm going to leave this open, on the off-chance that someone has something relevant to say about Athron's lair or something, but I recommend not posting in it unless you've really got something good. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

You may think so, and I probably agree, but the psychiatric community disagrees with the both of us. Addiction, in the authoritative manuals like the DSM-IV, is separate from physical dependence (as the relevant Wikipedia page explains). This is how we can say, for example, that someone is addicted to marijuana even though it can never cause physical dependence. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

Video Game Addiction in General
Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Wednesday, July 4 2007 08:43 Profile Homepage #78 One of the problems that doctors are facing is that it is very difficult to prescribe lifestyle changes. You were willing to change the way that you lived in order to fix the problem. Most people aren't (or just don't). Doctors know this and struggle with what to recommend every day. Your doctor probably should've told you that you could also try changing your diet and such, but you can't fault him for giving you a prescription for something that probably would've worked. Some drugs treat symptoms, and some drugs treat causes, and since you neither paid attention to what your doctor said about the drug nor read the labels on it, you have no idea which one this was or what the expected side effects were. You don't have enough information to know whether what he gave you was useful or not. I'm not a fan of pharmaceuticals in most situations, but neither am I willing to blame doctors for prescribing them, unless they prescribe them irresponsibly (without informing you what the drug is, what its intended purpose is, what the potential side effects are, and so on). EDIT: Also, I don't think anyone (including the doctors themselves) recommends that you take doctors as being the final authority. That's why doctors have to explain their treatment methods to you, and why the concept of informed consent exists, and such.

Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Tuesday, July 3 2007 09:26 Profile Homepage #58 quote: Originally written by Synergy: If we are strongly Introverted (I am in the middle on this one), then we would want to work to bring that more toward the middle where we can be energized by the company of others (or not drained by it) as well as be comfortable alone. I am an introverted person by nature. I spent years thinking that there was something wrong with me, that I needed to become more social, that I needed to learn to feel differently in certain situations. What I said above is that the greatest liberation I have ever experienced happened when I realized that there's nothing wrong with me, that how I feel is legitimate, that being introverted is okay. One should not rush to judge the shy or the introverted; sometimes these traits are perfectly fine and don't need to be changed. quote: The John Wayne, Clint Eastwood, James Bond loner ideal sort for men is about the most unhealthy role a man can play in the real world. Yet it is our cultural ideal for a man. Men are not socialized to be social like women are, to our detriment. I do not think that you can make such a wild generalization about "our cultural ideals." Our culture (and here I'm referring to American culture) is diverse and, while I completely agree that this is an ideal that is expressed sometimes, I do not agree at all that it is the ideal for a man in our culture.

Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Tuesday, July 3 2007 06:17 Profile Homepage #50 In the interest of not getting into an argument with Stillness again (because we know how fruitless that is), I'm not going to point out where I disagree with him, as tempting as it is. Nevertheless, I'd like to note that some social anxiety should be overcome and some should not. One of the greatest revelations of my life — ever — was realizing that sometimes, when I feel uncomfortable in a group setting, it's because I'm in a weird situation and am having a perfectly normal reaction. I don't need to "loosen up"; I need to get out of there, because it's weird and I don't like it. Also, certain forms of "letting go" and "being silly" and "having fun" make me uncomfortable (I'm thinking here of most dancing, among other things), and not because I need to relax and just let myself go or whatever the hell people like to say to people like me; I genuinely don't like these things. Realizing that I don't have to like them, that there's nothing wrong with me even if I don't like them, was a great release for me. -------------------- Arancaytar: Every time you ask people to compare TM and Kel, you endanger the poor, fluffy kittens.

Avernum 5, June Update in Avernum 4
Kelandon Off With Their Heads Member # 4045	written Saturday, June 30 2007 06:10 Profile Homepage #38 I don't really miss food. My only real experience with it was BoE, and it didn't add a lot to the gameplay. I also don't know about this idea of combining magical and physical fatigue into one things. It seems like fatigue is supposed to work very differently from spell points, so the two aren't meant to be mixed. There has never really been a "rogue" character in Avernum. Maybe in GF, if you count Leadership-and-Mechanics-based characters, but not in Avernum. Basically, there are melee fighters, missile fighters, priests, and mages (usually multi-classed in some way, so a melee fighter may have some missile skills). Which leads to the obvious question: will battle disciplines also influence missile attacks?
