Omg, yes, I just farmed the 24 hours trophy the other day!! I'm dreaming of the 500 days trophy on another sandbox, but the first 100 were pretty... long so idk if I'll achieve that. Hahaha!! A++ game (but also the worst kind of "relaxing" I do in a week)

I want to get all the trophies. idek how I’ll do that though. For one, I cannot for the life of me hit a rabbit. That and getting the moose satchels will be the hardest ones for me, but I think I can take down a couple moose easier than I can stone a rabbit >_< I’ll just. go sit in the middle of a rabbit area with a shit ton of stones and see if I can manage it just once XD

@sl-walker I feel like this is related to MST3K and IP&S.

So sorry to hear about Arthur. He lived a good life, it looks like. Love you, sister of mine. <3 Give everyone a snug for me.

He did. Love you too. <3 I will do.

My sister: He and Obi-Wan sort of have that bonkers thing in common. ;)

Me: Yeah?

My sister: That's all I can reason that got Ben to ANH. lol

Me: Explain?

My sister: Just my interpretation of why Old Ben would act so different from even Rebel Ben. But there's only a couple years difference there, even. Still, all that lying to Luke and forgetting Artoo and Threepio and Leia. lol

Me: Was he actually forgetting, or did he just lie like a motherfucker?

Me: 'Cause senility-- he was only what, 57 when he kicked it?

My sister: I would assume lying based on his line to Luke about "a certain point of view"

My sister: Yeah, 57.

Me: *snorts!* Traumatic dissociation.

Me: "I've been living with sand in my crotch for years. You see what you remember."

My sister: lol

Me: You got me, man. Maybe he thought Luke wouldn't help him if he dumped too much on him too fast?

Me: Like, Luke already thinks he's crazy, right? So, coming at him with, "BY THE WAY, you have a twin sister and there are these legacy droids, and hey, I cut off most of your father's limbs and stuff and he's second in command of the Empire. How're you doing, Luke?"

My sister: Lol

My sister: I'm sure that's a part of it.

Me: "Can I get you some blue milk and cookies?"

My sister: Or Jawa juice.

Me: Geez, now you got me thinking about senile Ben, who stuck Maul's desiccated corpse into the corner of his living room so he has someone to complain to about the sand in his robes. Somewhere on the other side of the Force, even Maul's going, "Kenobi, you poor bastard."

6, 13, 16, please!

6: Does your OC have a realistic image of their own intelligence?

Yeah, actually, he really does.  Mike’s not the kind of guy who naturally stews on a lot of insecurity; what he’s good at, he knows he’s good at.  He knows he’s a good fisherman, a good hunter, a good curler, a really good cop and a good FTO.  But he also knows that he’s not very good at book learning; he can read fine, but he doesn’t have the patience to do it much.  He knows that he learns best with hands-on experience.  He doesn’t think he’s anything like a genius, but he knows he’s no idiot, so I’d say that yeah, he does.

13: What kind of situations does your OC avoid the most?

Anything requiring him to be vulnerable and open.  The more emotionally hurt he is, the more he avoids it.  It’s a self-defense mechanism that probably is a good one initially, depending on the situation, but very quickly becomes a bad coping mechanism after.  Mike’s not emotionally articulate and when he’s hurt, he doesn’t honestly know better than to retreat and curl up and try to protect himself in a really isolating manner.  It takes a lot to actually hurt him like that, admittedly.  Thankfully.  But once he is that kind of hurt, the man’s probably a bit of a danger to himself just because he’s like a stray wounded dog; he’s more likely to drag himself off to die in some bushes than ask for help, not out of any meanness, but because he doesn’t know any better and the alternative of asking for help scares him worse than than suffering does.

16: Is your OC good at giving others validation of their feelings and making them feel understood?

Oh, God.  Yeah, I’d say he really is.  He’s not gushing or anything, but he’s a hell of a listener and boy, does he give praise without hesitation.  He’s the least judgmental guy I’ve ever written, bar none; he doesn’t desire any power over people, so validating their feelings really isn’t a problem for him.  That’s doesn’t mean he always understands them, but he doesn’t judge them.  The only time you see Mike act out in any way against that validation is when someone’s using feelings as an excuse to abuse or hurt or bully others, and then yeah, he steps in and de-escalates.

That being said, when he’s in a bad enough emotional place, he can miss a lot of things.  Not intentionally, just a case of focusing his energy very inwards so he can keep getting through something, which makes it a lot harder for him to see those around him.  Even then, there’s not a bit of mean in Mike, so it’s not a case of him doing it to hurt people.
