I see Linux in my future, as I just don’t have the cash for a new rig.
I have to be careful though, as it’s my family PC, and the rest of my family aren’t going to tolerate much of a learning curve. It really needs to just work out of the box.
Considering Zorin OS. Hopefully I can get it on my SSD next to Windows so I can dual-boot for a while to test the water…
To be fair, the referee is officiating a professional sport where you really need to be able to clearly distinguish between the legs of two people lunging quickly for the same ball with their feet.
Probably sounds silly, but when that’s what 95% of the sport revolves around, you can understand them being picky on a detail like this.
Every day, the reasons to either switch to dumb devices or open-source software keep piling up.
That’s John Startrek, the titular protagonist of Star Trek.
Tentacles that burst forward and slapped the shit out of enemies?
Grant us eyes, grant us eyes…
The sad part is that there’s a not insignificant number of people out there who would honestly rather embrace the human instrumentality project and never look back.
I wouldn’t say I have an actual phobia, but I completely understand people with trypophobia. It makes me very uncomfortable and I find it pretty revolting.
I have a very, very limited understanding of the subject, so take this with a lethal dose of salt, but I’m under the impression that the US healthcare system is an absolute minefield, and not everyone has equal access to it, even via insurance, in the ways you might otherwise typically expect.
Yeah that’s fair. For the most part we’re sticking to 5e, and the consensus is always to check the rules first when we’re unsure about something and to try and implement it as intended, so we’re not losing any of what I’d consider to be core rules, like the way movement, actions and bonus actions work during combat, or spell slots and class-specific rules etc.
It’s more of our approach to more niche elements, such as the food and water needs relevant to each creature’s size as specified in the DM’s Handbook - no one has the inclination to track our food supply and consumption to the pound per character, so we instead stock up on provisions to last X number of days, and track our usage by the day. It’s just a bit quicker and easier to manage that way, and we can still implement the same effects in the event we run out of food.
This. Our entire campaign is home-brewed using the 5e ruleset, but the application of those rules is selective when it needs to be.
For the most part, we’re following them, but if there’s a rule that results in a level of attention to detail that we simply don’t care to implement, or would have less fun trying to religiously adhere too, we just scrap it in favour of something a bit more light-touch and call it a house rule.
Rules provide a great framework to base your game on, but the ultimate aim is to create an enjoyable experience and have fun, so bend them and break them when and where you need to for the benefit of all involved.
I only use it because there’s no way I could convince my friends and family to move to anything else.
There’s no point in switching to another app if I then literally couldn’t communicate with the people I need to through it.
I’m like, 99% sure this is a repost of my own OC that I posted to Reddit years ago.
1 - I never thought that would happen. 2 - I was (and probably still am) kind of a dick 😅
Rawwwrr XD*
Futurama X Ratchet & Clank: Rift Apart.
This would would probably work out very well.
As a parent with a 2-year-old, I’m already plotting my revenge for the teenage years.
Imagine being outraged and miserable for a living.
I’ve not even seen the movie, but Jesus fucking Christ.
Hi Ren by Ren
Preach. If I could be any age forever it would probably be one of the ones from my days as a scene kid.
Ah really? I could put it on the hard drive, but the whole point of the SSD was for it to take the OS… Will have to think on that.
They generally don’t do more than browse the web so I’m not anticipating any major issues. I used to game on it, but it’s so old now I’ve stopped using it for games.
Maybe I’ll put it on a usb for a while instead of dual booting.
