But, I couldn't do any damage because upon reloading all but one of my party members were chibi-fied? I guess whatever bypassed the counter also bypassed this status effect, but on reloading a save it's based on the event counter. Apparently the remaining party member is supposed to be able to win somehow, but I either bypassed a check for some needed item, or some other important thing that's supposed to happen.

The technical explanation, which I remember from the dream: the final boss has multiple phases, and the game allows you to straight-up leave and save in the middle of the fight. The phases are tracked with a general event counter. Somehow I got past phase 1 in an unintended way that didn't increment the counter. So the counter was still inside the boss fight, thus the boss was still there when reloading.

I had a dream where I simultaneously completed a video game and soft-locked it. By which I mean, I defeated the final boss and credits rolled, but when I reloaded the save, the final boss was still there, with the game apparently in an uncompletable state.

@gendercensus People who checked "woman" or "man" checked "enby" less often, but for most identity words, anyone who checked them is more likely to have checked "enby" than the general set of responses. I would guess that people who choose an identity word (except binary, woman, man, none, or cisgender...) are more likely to choose another identity word, and if so this doesn't tell me anything about "enby" specifically.

@gendercensus I see no clear pattern with regard to more "feminine" or "masculine" identity words.

@gendercensus I wrote a quick Python script to determine the percentage of people who selected each identity checkbox that ALSO selected "enby", and here's what I got: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1TB4QRRFysp1LGOEoOEfPts8J9otufNCrCwYK2eGWLqw/edit?usp=sharing

Me: The race condition happens because the thread just posts a message to make X happen, then does something that requires X to have completed.
Brain: It's surprising that we still use the notion of a linear order of events when thinking about race conditions.
Me: Wait, what?

Hi, I wrote a thing about some problems I had with creative schoolwork https://archive.org/details/stunted-creativity-or-how-i-skipped-an-entire-category-of-schoolwork
