It turns out that Watchful is very good at sensing how we're feeling, so getting them back in front has helped us be more responsive to basic needs like hyrdation, but also to mood/whim. Instead of holding strictly to a routine/system, we're putting much more weight on what we feel like doing at the moment. We think the change has made us happier and better at our job.

I'm still not a Buddhist, but I've made a personal commitment to follow the five precepts, as I currently understand them. Dabbling in study of Buddhism, things that seemed challenging, wrong, or nonsensical at first become more reasonable, correct, or plausible, as my understanding increases.

It's kinda scary because I find myself wanting to accept teachings on faith that they'll make sense someday, which is something I really dislike about organized religion.

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
