Human energy needs are incredibly variable so the estimates for normal consumption are wrong for most people, but when you get into essential systems (basically cardiovascular and nervous, not even including digestive or any muscle movement) you actually need even less - the average (by weight, height & age) man needs 1950kcal or so and the average woman (by height, weight & age) needs 1450kcal or so
When we replace AI with brains in jars I'm sure we can cut it down even more though
The intersection between Authoritarianism and Socialism:
Does that mean fudging rolls is basically the RPG equivalent of "mining off camera"?
Hey, sometimes they like to overthrow a beloved monarchy and install a dictatorship, just to spice things up every so often
Infected road rash all up your right arm is so much worse too, and I imagine there's probably worse things than that once you get into spinal pain
It kind of disappoints me that Wales ruins the standard:flag system in the Home Nations though, if they were to be included in the Union Flag I'd want to see it be the St. David's Cross with the dragon going on the Royal Standard where France used to be
You're wondering if a place that grew on monopoly and extortion, with some of the most impoverished, deprived and violent neigborhoods in the country, along with some of the most exclusive and expensive collections of gated mansions, could have serious fundamental issues?
I'd think it's safe to assume that's it's this one...
A quick google search when I was initially fact-checking took me to this reddit post; I'm highly skeptical of both the LAPD and reddit so went for 15 minutes to be "safe" but make of it what you will...
It's around $2.35 in the UK at the moment and that's the lowest I can remember it being for about 15 years
Sounds like an average Germanic person really
There's "everything goes exactly as planned until one player derails the whole session unhindered by rolls or turns" rules-light and "let things flow more naturally and allow things outside the rules if everyone thinks they add to the story" rules-light though...
Personally I much prefer the presence of rules which can be followed if convenient or desired, or ignored if you'd rather, but it is also equally valid to want to do collaborative storytelling/investigation without being derailed by bad rolls, I just know that dealing with setbacks and things not going to plan (which is different to things not succeeding in a pre-planned manner, but again equally valid, along with everything going well if you'd rather) is probably my favourite part
So for context, I'm an asexual guy who had one girl in his classes at high school & went to a 75% male university on a course that was 94% male...
Right after graduating I had the same issues you're describing, just from "new experiences" more than anything, but when you go out into the world and start interacting with people you'll be fine - it's somewhat normal especially if you didn't have a drive to seek out women previously or even just didn't have the self confidence to
Also though, that sounds like a bit of a weird interaction as an introvert anyway, I don't think I'd have been super comfortable either way as I'd be expecting to be robbed or scammed or something, but if someone is expressing interest in something you're passionate about then they very clearly want to hear about it, so just say things about it even if it's cringe or not perfect
