And yes, I've found it easier to move on and adapt to Tildes. I think a lot of us want some sort of justice against Reddit....but to what end and what does that actually accomplish? Someone else "losing" or "winning" doesn't often define what I consider to be wins and losses in my own life.

It's not uncommon for parents to bring a child into my office for a lack of motivation around school. I often wonder if a lot of time and money could be saved if the parents talked and listened to their child with the intent to understand.

My hunch is that most folks in my area assume it will not be a big deal or won't hit us as we are more inland.
Aside from the potential rains and flooding, it's the winds that I fear the most for the greater LA area.

As such, I think a lot of people will find that it breathes life into the genre, whereas others might be annoyed at some of its mechanisms.
I am happy to elaborate, but in short, there are certain mechanisms that can feel very cruel and punishing. And it can lead to a sense of futility, and yet, your team is never fully out of the game. These moments are often hilarious and make for good storytelling. And if you go into the game knowing that the game mechanisms inherently generate a lot of nail-biting endings, you are far more likely to enjoy it. This type of fatalism makes landslide victories very rare...but it can be frustrating feeling like you have played 99% of the game correctly only to end up on on the losing team. It's a great blend of logic and chaos. And if the chaos is too much for your group, this is where I'd recommend Deception: Murder in Hong Kong. But if you like a good dose of balanced chaos, then this is a brilliant design.

Comment on What are your favorite board games to play solo? in ~games.tabletop
Bohmbot Link ParentI hope you enjoy it. Fantastic as a solo game, even better at 2 players. I rarely play it at 3, but it's still very good at that player count. I would only play with very experienced players at 4....I hope you enjoy it. Fantastic as a solo game, even better at 2 players. I rarely play it at 3, but it's still very good at that player count.

Obviously it is more complicated than this, but I occasionally chuckle at the fact that people would pay me to tell me their secrets.
But the satisfaction is there in spades when you can help someone accomplish their goals. And when you see people overcome depression, repair a marriage, etc., it feels quite satisfying to know you got to journey with someone through that season.

Comment on I am officially a DM now! in ~games.tabletop

Therapist here:
The general rule is that if you aren't connecting with the therapist within four-six sessions, then the therapist may not be a good fit for you.
If you feel like the therapist is missing you or not hearing you well, feel free to bring it up.
Strong therapeutic connections can be formed when there has been a rupture and it gets repaired. How a therapist works on repairing the rupture may give you information very quickly as to whether you want to continue with that therapist or not.
Hope this helps a little.
