I got her to help with the chores around the house tonight for the first time all week, which was nice. We even played rock paper scissors to decide diaper duty. Lol (that used to be a thing we did)(we cloth diaper to save money)
I will update again tomorrow, but any insight and advice is always appreciated.
Yes, I have some strong opinions.
Don't make spontaneous decisions throw by throw. Humans are incapable of generating random selections, we have tendencies that can form patterns and are easily influenced by their last throw. Against a good opponent this is the kiss of death.
Instead preselect three throws ahead of time so you aren't vulnerable in this way. This is knows as a 'gambit'. There are a number of gambits (rock/rock/rock = avalanche, paper/scissors/rock = crescendo, paper/scissors/paper = scissors sandwich, etc), get familiar with the combinations. The only time you should stray from your gambit is if you pick up a read on your opponent (either a pattern, or if you notice they start to form their selection too early in the throw and tip you off in time to adjust yours).
Glad we can offer this type of assistance.
OK, hope this cheers someone up tonight. Those than know me know I love games. In reality, this is really sweet, and one of the reasons the loss of an M is so tragic. Way to keep calm and toughen up.
