Micro-maps @ttrpg.network

Rolled some dice to make a dungeon map in my pocket notebook

  • I left work early one day and was driving home on some back roads. I got behind a jeep that started to slow and drift into the other lane. He kept drifting and went off the road, jumped the bank and went into a very deep quarry pond. I heard a splash and pulled over and called 911. While on the phone I heard a yell for help and hung up (I didn't think to stay on the line until after) and ran across to find this guy barely treading water. I swam in and helped him to the bank and talked to him until the emergency services arrived.

    Turns out he had some severe internal bleeding and passed out driving. The cold water woke him up, but he was too weak and disoriented to swim.

    If I would have left work 5 minutes earlier or later, or if he didn't have the top off on his jeep, he would have died and nobody would have known where. The pond was deep enough that even the vehicle wouldn't have been found.

  • I enjoyed the demo for Heroes of the Seven Isles. I bought the full game when it came out but haven't had a chance to play it much. Really fun old school point and click adventure puzzle game with hand drawn doodle-style art.

  • I use LibreWolf, and I do have issues with a few sites (my local utility company's bill pay only works on chromium), but I still refuse to use a chromium based browser except for those specific sites.

    It is inconvenient, but it can still make a difference. If sites that have chromium only functionality see that enough FireFox users are trying to use the site, they may update it. I know web devs check those kinds of metrics.

  • Someone at work made a "who on earth uses FireFox" comment recently, like it was some obscure and inferior / outdated software (our company includes FF as part of the standard image for both PC and Mac users). I did not go into my "why chromium is evil" rant, but I did tell them how to adjust their settings to fix some performance issues they were having with it. I'm pretty sure they still switched to Chrome.

  • Thanks! I've been playing it when I have the time, and spellcasting is definitely one of the areas I'm working on. I have some re-works planned that I will get added soon :)

    If you do try it out, please share any feedback!

  • It's going to be a total re-install, so that depends on what kind of setups you have. Not really different than switching to/from another distro.

    Bazzite ships with KDE, so you could likely copy your themes and customizations for that pretty easily.

    Bazzite is fedora based, and doesn't use apt, but you can use distrobox like I mentioned in my post to get familiar ubuntu packages, if there are things that you need to be not flatpaks. You also can probably copy config files from non-flatpak apps into the flatpaks for most apps. I did this with my Cura configs. It may depend on the application.

    Basically, I just backed up my user folder (~/) and pulled any configs out of there. You could just back up ~/.config and ~/.local but with ubuntu there are likely some things in a snap directory and such. Mainly ~/.config and ~/.local, but some applications may use other directories, like snap, etc.

  • It's not about the ads to buy things. That's part of it for sure, but it's more than that.

    Google, Meta, Microsoft, etc. want your data, your habits, routines, opinions, etc, so they can influence the way you think and behave and understand the world.

    There's a clip I saw recently of Peter Thiel saying they could never get people to vote for the things they want to do, so instead they are using technology to change things.

    Even if you block ads, if you still use platforms owned by tech mega-corps, they have your data. Sure you might not see the targeted ads, and so you think you're coming out ahead, but you don't realize that every piece of content you see between the ads you've blocked is being filtered to influence the way you think about the world.

  • Just grabbed Among the burning Flowers from my local library. Really enjoyed the other roots of chaos books so I'm looking forward to this one.

    I read most of the Bullet Journal Method and what I learned from that has been really useful. Also Mistborn is one of my favorite series, and the last 2 books of era 2 are great.

    Decided to try out Bazzite on my desktop PC - Distrobox feels like magic
