tbh i think that even unwinnable fights should be winnable. some of the BEST fights i've ever run as a dm were ones i built kill the players (in a fun way. I had some cutscenes prepped so even the loss would be a different flavour of win)- but then they were clever bastards and managed to either win the fights or pull themselves out of trouble. I think it's perfectly fine to plan for a fight that players aren't supposed to win, but you need to let them. if they can't win, they can't lose, and the meaning of that encounter is diminished. do that too many times, and they stop trusting you to give them roleplay prompts and start expecting to sit there waiting while you drive the story for them.

but if they can win... if there is always the chance to win, no matter how impossible the odds, then they ALWAYS have hope. they always get invested. they feel the big emotions of success or the big emotions of failure, and you fucking Win as a dm/roleplay prompter/lead bastard.

do you have any silly goofy grizzly bear pictures? it’s been almost one year since i took in my grandma’s cat (who’s actually named grizzly bear) after my grandma moved into an assisted living home. she’s recently had some health issues and is moving again, so i thought i would send her some funny pictures of grizzly bear (the cat) and actual grizzly bears to help her feel better ❤️ thank you for all the work that you do with this blog btw!

hi friend! please tell your grandmother that a bear-loving team of strangers on the internet wish her a speedy recovery and hopes she has a very lovely day and enjoys these very silly grizzly bears!

Adora and Catra in academia

conclusions I’ve come to on what kind of a student each would be based on their strengths/weaknesses + childhood conditioning and how that translate into the real world’s education system.

Adora: very studious and hardworking, shines where results equal the effort put in, very disciplined and so good with schedules and routine, consistent with school work, good study habits, good at info retention and memorisation, has a white and black view on the world so she prefers subjects/topics with clear cut answers, but that also means she struggles with ambiguity and originality, not good at unconventional or outside the box thinking, may be redundant and repetitive, slow when it comes to learning new concept and ideas, and struggles with creativity and innovation.

And of course like in the canon text, whether it's from parental pressure or other causes she's a perfectionist with huge expectations and responsibility on her shoulders and that's what drives most of her hard work.

Catra: natural intelligence, shines with problem solving and critical thinking, quick learner, fast when it comes to understanding and applying, good at idea creation, good at connecting concepts and making conclusions, likes subjects/topics that gives freedom to do her own thing, very creative and innovative, has unconditional learning style, which serves her originality but also deters her when it comes to academic performance, hates the school's rigid structure, struggles with consistency and rules, and only engages when interested.

Is difficult to determine the exact attitude towards education of because her unmotivation can be caused both/either by underestimation and dismissiveness from a carer figure (like in canon) or as a result of a rebellion against the system, but also the possibility of change and working for her own success (also like in canon) exists, in which she would surpass everyone and everything if she wanted to.

In summary: Adora is the perfect student model who struggles in the real world due to those rules' insignificance and Catra is the misunderstood genius who's too smart for the education system.

did you see this video where lewis explains how you can gain and keep a lot of time in your corner entries at hungaroring because there are no long straights after? i don’t fully understand how that works, do you? if the straight is longer, would you try to gain time elsewhere, not the corner entry? why? 😅

it’s really fascinating to me, i wish merc would post more content like this.

Sooo I've just done a bunch of reading to try to answer you, because I don't readily know 😅 so if you're reading this and know better than me PLEASE correct me if I'm wrong or tell me if I got it right!

Basically it's all a trade off? If you brake earlier, you turn earlier, you can get back on the throttle earlier V. if you brake later, you stay on the throttle later, but you also get back on the throttle later.

Braking later while racing someone means you get ahead of them, but getting back on the throttle later means they can also get you back at the exit of the corner because they are able to accelerate before you.

If there's only a short straight or another corner after your corner, getting back on full throttle may not be as important or even possible so braking later might be less costly, I guess? The fact that there's a corner shortly after the first one means you won't reach max speed anyway so corner entry is more important than corner exit to gain time, is what I understand.

If there's a long straight after the corner I think you'd typically try to brake earlier as to make the straight even longer and maximise exit speed rather than entry speed?

Basically following the light blue line on this graphic would allow you to accelerate earlier into the straight.

If there's a short straight after your corner, taking the dark blue line allows you to take this v-shape line Lewis was talking about in the video, and make the next corner easier

whereas the light blue line would put you very wide into the next corner and make it more difficult. But it also means that right at that V angle you are slower than with a flatter line. Basically your minimum speed will be lower, making you vulnerable to overtake between the two corners.

Interestingly though, I think braking later is also harder on the tyres and the brakes, and generates more heat, so it might actually make things even more complicated for him this weekend 😬

Two weeks with Aurora! Here's a recap of life so far.

Our targeted socialization was pretty successful, we managed a bunch of different experiences and she rocked them.

Monday: Busy street at rush hour

Tuesday: Train station

Wednesday: Construction site

Thursday: Bike path next to train line

Friday: Outside a coffee shop

Saturday: Baby hike in the wild

She's still doing great in overall good citizen behaviours. She has specifically been crushing:

✅ Sleeping through the night

✅ Name recognition

✅ Basic training skills

✅ Recovering from being startled

✅ Being crated quietly

Honestly she's doing amazing, I am so so proud of her. 💜

Areas for improvement for the week include:

✴ Bullying Pike (which is improving but still not great)

✴ Demand barking and overall noise level

✴ Chewing on the couch in excitment

Our biggest victories this week include:

🎉 Baby hike 2.0 with beautiful ranging, reasonable baby recall, and great enthusiasm

🎉 Calling off play with Pike on multiple occasions

Our big goals for next week:

🚀 Less harassment of Pinecone

🚀 Working through the foundation levels of the baby conditioning class I'm taking

Really excited for the next few weeks with this girl! 💜
