pretty modern, xcom enemy unknown, fallout 4, skyrim
I have a radeon 5770 though, so it's pretty antiquated.

Yeah I remember when I first went up to "big" school, and it was like everyone in year 11 was a proper adult. Now I see 18 - 21 year olds as kids.
In fact I can remember when I first started school, and even the year 2's looked big and scary.

Year 7s were not that short when I was in school.

Yeah that's pretty shit these days, Skyrim's a 4 year old game and if that's giving you trouble then you've got no hope for anything newer.
New games aren't really worth it in my opinion though, they're all just clones of older games but not as good. I got myself a decent graphics card just to run older games at high frame rates and to have pretty looking shaders on RetroArch.

What's the worst injury you've all had?
I've never done anything particularly dangerous, so it's probably just when my Dad accidentally hit me with a swingball racket.

last month when I was sharpening a knife I cut myself fairly deep. Probably my worst injury ever was hurting my knee while squatting. I wasn't very athletic as a child so sadly I missed out an all the bone breaking shit.

Not actually that much older than a teenager/sixth former. I'm 29, but I don't seem to age.
Helps that I don't get out much, and that my long hair makes me look younger. Also like a girl, but fuck it. First time in my life I've actually LIKED having curly hair. Always hated hairdressers, too. Haven't been to a proper one since school, don't intend to start now.
Only had it cut a few times, and that was by my friend's sister, who knows to listen to what I want and doesn't think she knows better.
I think it's her fault I keep getting mistaken for a girl. But, fuck it. My curls are fabulous.

Nearly sliced my thumb off/fucked up the joint when I was a kid. Slicing cardboard with a penknife, knife slipped, into thumb joint. Healed up properly.
Nearly took my eye out as a toddler with a bike accident. Wasn't allowed to ride a bike with glasses on for years after that.
Had half my cheek shredded, a few teeth smashed, and probably my jaw broken by a brick wall as a teenager. Dickhead cunt boomer elbowed me off my bike into said wall, saying I shouldn't be on the pavement. I invited him to go deal with the buses and idiot school run mums himself, then set about fixing my glasses enough for the lens to stay in (with my teeth, because I couldn't see well enough to use my fingers), and fending off the car of normies that stopped to offer me a lift or help. Then cycled off to the opticians to get the properly fixed. Then home because I checked myself in a mirror and discovered I was actually dripping.
Had awesome scars for a month or two after. Not been able to grow facial hair properly since, not that I'd been able to before. The scabbing destroyed the follicles, far as I can tell.
Cracked ribs multiple times due to bike accidents, permanent scars on my elbows from various accidents, my shins are studded with old scars from bike accidents as a teenager, and my back teeth are basically gone thanks to a combination of a cracked filling, a sharp remainder of tooth, and various accidents.
What wasn't flat-out broken was root-canalled and capped. I even got charged a full extraction for just an anasthetic, slicing my gum open, then digging around for half an hour to find a single shard of enamel. Apparently the dentist swore there was evidence of more on the X-rays.
He did great work on the rest, though. My front teeth are still intact, and the caps he put in are still there. Even the sensitivity has gone, as I found out this summer.
I ate a LOT of icecream this year after discovering that I could actually bite it.

I've never done anything particularly dangerous either, my parents are health & safety mad and due to that I've always been really cautious and danger-aware.
There was the time when I was 13 and I was in my room and kneeling on my chair while facing backwards. I eventually leaned too far and it toppled over, and I came crashing down and smacked my eyebrow on the corner of my desk. It wasn't enough to need stitches or anything, and my eyebrow hair covers the scar.
There was another time around the same age that I was just fiddling around with a pencil, and I accidentally stabbed it into the palm of my hand.
There was also the time when I was 14 playing basketball in PE, and I got knocked over backwards onto my wrists and sprained one of them. I went to the hospital that evening and got a bandage put on it, nothing too serious but it did restrict my wrist movements for a while, and even now it feels stiffer than the other.

I've been riding a bike as long as I can remember. My dad was always big into motorbikes, so he encouraged me onto two wheels ASAP.
I'm just accident-prone, really. Dyspraxia's a bitch like that.
It's only my habitual wearing of safety boots that's saved my toes from being destroyed in recent years. I've even declared the garage a safety gear area; last time I did ANYTHING in there without boots on, my mother dropped a table leg onto my foot.
Need to get out more, though. I am getting fat. Slowly, but surely. Doesn't help that the canteen at work has FINALLY been allowed to actually fry eggs. On a portable electric cooker, two at a time.
Started cutting down on stuff yesterday. Takeaway night was less food than usual, today's lunch was lighter.

My whole class once campaigned to get one particular dinner lady fired, for reasons that I've long since forgotten. I think she was just slightly stricter than all the other ones.
The best part is we were actually successful, whether she was fired or just quit, she was gone after a couple of weeks.
This was in year 4, we were like 8 - 9 years old, what the fuck.

I've spent most of the day making a test character sheet, just to get to grips with the whole thing. The hardest part is figuring out what the fuck is supposed to be in each box, convoluted doesn't even begin to describe it.
Every guide I've come across is completely useless, and that includes the player handbook. I've read a ton of guides and watched numerous tutorials, and every single one of them assumes you know what the fuck they're talking about with all this DEXModifier1d8ProficiencyHitDiceSavingThrow+3InitiativeArmorClass+4+2PassiveWisdom-2Add10SkillCheck nonsense.

Okay, so this is where your attacks go, so in the name field you'd put axe, or dagger or whatever. The Attack bonus is the second box. This is anything extra you would add to or take away from your attack roll. (this is the roll to actually hit, not to d damage) This is made from a proficiency bonus, which would be simple or martial weapons, possibly something else further down the line, but we dont have to worry about those for now. So simply if you're proficient in simple, you get a bonus from your proficiency. You also add your modifier for a certain stat, usually strength, as that's what you use to actually do the attack. This could be something else for some weapons, daggers rely on dex as they have the finesse property.
For example, say you have a shit strength so ahve a -2 modifier, but you're proficient, and your proficiency gives you +2, this means you simply roll a d20 to decide whether your attack hits, if it was anything else you would add or take away numbers to the roll, making it easier or harder to hit the number you need.
The damage box contains the die that the weapon tells you to use, so 1d6 for a handaxe, and then the modifier from the stat you use it with (usually strength). You also write the type of damage here, determined by the weapon.

Also, I think this is explained terribly in the players guide for what its worth. (In fact, I think the players guide is absolutely terrible, and really badly laid out)

Thanks for the explanation. I still don't get it though, various words and numbers still seem like they're being pulled out of thin air. Why is this shit so mindfuckingly complicated?
I don't have the brainpower for all this abstraction shit. Every time I see things like "modifier", "proficiency", "+2", "attack roll", etc, I just think "what did that mean again? where did those numbers come from? what am I even supposed to be doing?" and my train of thought crashes headfirst into the rusted iron gates of my long abandoned brain.
