considering the "bed" is just over 10ft long and about 6ft tall, I could fit most mattresses, as well as most normally sized couches in the back too. A single king sized foundation would need to be angled though.

Even my company work van is only like.. 15ft long.. and it can fit basically anything I'd ever need to use for construction related needs.

Depends on the campaign, but I've seen that work before.

I do try. There were any number of ways to describe the general communication that's strongly encouraged before getting into it with someone, and I considered using a dragon ball metaphor instead, but dungeons and dragons felt more apt. The long and the short of it is a bare minimum of what someone likes before getting started. Details to be pounded out at a later time.

There is no "one size fits all" for anyone...

I treat the first time with anyone like a session zero of a DnD campaign. We put our wants and desires forward, discuss dislikes and flat out offs, and go from there. The intimate details of how they like something is best sorted out in practice.

Edit: it seems most replies don't know what a session zero is. It's the conversation before the game starts. It's an icebreaker between the dm and the players to make sure that everyone is going into this with a similar mindset. If the players all want a role play heavy game and the dm is set up for combat focused game then it needs to be known ahead of time.

The average American having a reading level of 8th grade level has a lot to do with it...

Rotwood, early access roguelite beat em up.

I've heard there are various things that can be consumed to increase production. If I remember correctly it's zinc supplements. A simple search would tell you if you're actually wanting to.

Witnessed the aftermath of one such death a few weeks ago. Medics claimed it was a gas leak.

2nd floor apartment. No AC, no fans, elderly lady on oxygen in the middle of a two week long heat wave flirting with triple digits the whole time...

So unless they meant the oxygen tank was leaking, it was the heat.

Yeah, naming it after people would bring about topics like "when the hell is Dave leaving? It's way too hot and been here much too long."

I’m on some total “different wavelength” from everycritter else and will clearly never be understood and when anyone tries to help or connect with me at all they get most everything wrong, sometimes insistently so.

While it may take a long while of searching, I can say that there is someone out there with your wavelength. The ONLY reason I say this is because my sister, after 30+ years of searching for someone who could give her what she needed in a relationship finally found someone who was not only willing, but enthusiastic to be a part of her life in a big way. They are engaged and plan to be wed around this October.

She didn't go hunting on dating apps or social media.. She did what she always did. Played games that have a strong social element, and wasn't afraid to chat about herself directly, her issues, her wants, all of it. I used to call her the impossible girl because of how hopeful she remained after all that time. Most other people I know in that situation would feel hopeless but she kept it up and kept at it.

That being said, I don't know what's right for you and yours, and I hope you're able to find some solace in your situation.

I literally said I cannot force her to. I just made it an available option. Which she has thankfully taken. I'm hoping it will be enough to bring her back from the edge she has been on for the past month.

I know another schizophrenic from work, and while it doesn't affect him in exactly the same way it affects my wife, there are similarities. Much with anything person related, each one is different, if even just a bit. What's severe for her might be minor to others, and what's minor to her might be severe for others. In my wifes case, she starts this very slow spiral downwards as the voices increase in intensity, and beyond the paranoia stage for her is a complete cognitive collapse. We've been through that before and she was 302'd as a result.

For my one coworker, the worst he seemed to get after being off his meds for 6ish months was just a loss in focus on work, but he was allllllll about exploring abandoned houses looking for antiques and sorting through his number of storage units to catalog and auction/sell his found trove. Still very functional, mind seemed all together.
