  • Say boss does 10 damage per turn. If you heal 8 points per turn, that means boss effectively does 2 damage per turn, and your effective HP is 5x what it would have been without healing. Heal 1 more per turn, for 9 total and your EHP is 10x. Heal 10 per turn and your EHP is infinity. Heal 11 per turn and your EHP is still infinity, no change. So that 10th point of healing was worth waaaay more than the 9th or the 11th.



  • As ~always with gender and politics, there’s a pretty big gap between what is and what ought.

    What is: The people who make and seek out men-only groups have a stereotype of being shitty, sexist people. The stereotypes around women-only groups are a lot weaker and less negative. These stereotypes are not rules, but do certainly lead to some social stigma.

    What ought 1: In a better world gender-specific groups might exist for people to find support and connection around their gendered experiences. There’s some experiences that aren’t commonly shared across genders and it can be a lot easier and safer to share with people who you know also have that experience.

    What ought 2: In a still better world there wouldn’t be a significant desire for such groups because we are all sensitive and caring enough that such a group doesn’t make sharing meaningfully easier or safer, because it’s already easy and safe.
