@madness-of-the-masses @chucklenutss this just reminds me of our conversation about pokemon characters the other night 😭

this keeps happening to me and it’s funnier every time

@kasaeatsbugs @mycatatenukes @madness-of-the-masses @chucklenutss WE NEED TO MEET UP AND PLAY THIS

The last time we were on a long flight, my wife and I invented a game we call "Little Guy."

You start a game of Little Guy by saying, "I'm gonna hand you a little guy." The little guy is some kind of baby animal you are imagining. "Oh," she might say in response, "Okay," and hold out her hands for it. I will then mime handing her the animal. This provides some clues as to the little guy's size, weight, and general ungainliness.

She then gets to ask questions about what kind of little guy this is, BUT NO QUESTIONS ABOUT HIS ACTUAL APPEARANCE OR SPECIES ARE ALLOWED. Qualitative questions, or questions about his behavior, are the only ones permitted. She can ask "Is he soft?" or "Does he seem nervous about being held?" or "If I put him in the bathtub, does he seem okay with that?" or "Would he like a lil grape?" or "Is he the sort of little fellow who would wear a vest in a children's book?" but not "Does he have fur," "Is he a reptile," "Is he from Asia," etc. Some questions are in a grey area so you have to follow your heart, but the point is not to identify the animal as fast as possible: the point is to guess the animal purely based on vibes + how he would act if he were in your living room right now.

And I'm not limited to yes or no answers! If she asks, "Would it feel appropriate to see this little guy in a propeller hat?" I can reply, "Oh no, he has a gravity to him. A bowler hat would be a more appropriate hat." Or if she asks, "Does this little guy have protagonist energy?" I can say something like, "he probably wouldn't be the main character in a children's cartoon. He'd probably be the main character's ditzy best friend who's always eating sandwiches, or something."

We're big Twenty Questions to kill time in a waiting room people, but Little Guy is more about the journey than the destination. It's got a different kind of sauce that's nice if "killing time" and "lowering anxiety" need to happen hand in hand.

5 1/2 hours of work and I'm still not done.

Don't ya just love school? (Giving myself a break to sleep since it's 2am, I'm gonna wake up earlier than normal and just pray I can get an hour and a half's worth of work done in less than an hour. It's immense copium I know but contrary to popular belief I do actually enjoy sleeping, and my brain isn't fully functioning currently due to being sleep deprived and absolutely wired on caffeine. Plus the usual neurodivergent drawback of "hyperfixated on work for hours, loses focus at the last hurdle".)

This is also due in P2 so unfortunately the only time I can work on this is at home and during form time :,)

English added by me :)
