  • I’m no DM, but I’ll give it a shot. The cultists must’ve been holding the friend instead of killing them for a reason, right? What if the cultists need the prisoners for an occult type ritual but they still need a few items before it’s ready? That leads to the threat of death but gives them time to do something about it.

    Or maybe they need information or a thing that’s dangerous to get and they’ll try to brainwash/blackmail them into doing whatever they want to get what they need.

    The cultists suddenly have more prisoners than they did previously, so just need to figure how can the prisoners be more value alive than dead. There’s enough dumb villain TV tropes you can go off of where they could easily kill the hero but they don’t because they want them to watch the world burn or whatever.





  • First, the key being tied to the motherboard is more specifically when you purchase a prebuilt machine and not an off the shelf license.

    Second, Microsoft is pushing heavily at tying the keys to a Microsoft account. That way they can more easily track number of activations. To recover a key on a new computer you just sign into your Microsoft account and it’ll activate it. It’s far easier than a key and easier to keep track of vs a key as well.

    You might be able to buy a license at a large retailer, but I’m pretty sure you’ll find it hard to buy a key printed on a piece of paper now.


  • The best things I did for myself was go to a neuropsychologist since they will tell you exactly where you struggle in terms of development. For example, I learned that I have trouble processing lots of information or responding to information quickly. So from there I was able to figure out what I personally needed to concentrate on improving for myself at work. The second thing was talking to a doctor about medication. I’m currently on the generic for cymbalta for depression/anxiety, and vyvanse as a stimulant and I’m in a pretty good spot overall.

    The best tips I can provide is being present in every action you take and do things when you get the motivation to do them, especially if it’s something you’ve been putting off. Oh, and lists and calendars are your friends. The more notes you can take about what you need to do, harder it is to forget you need to do stuff. Need to get something done but struggling to start? Break the task down into little bite sized pieces, do the first few things and you might get hooked into the rest and find you’re done before you know it.
