In a sly move, Microsoft has removed the online help page that shows how to switch to a local account on its Windows 11 operating system.
  • First I'm hearing of CachyOS, very interesting! Have had my eye on Zorin, personally, as it seems like a pretty clean transition from a life of Windows. Haven't looked at how it does with games.

    Can't quite get past the hump of needing Autodesk and Adobe software to be functioning flawlessly and easily accessible. A VM might suffice but that also sounds a little clunky and need to test it out.

  • Why Do You Pirate Music?
  • I like the idea of using spotdl and yt-dlp but my eyes gloss over as soon as I see that there is no GUI. Lidarr kinda sucks but it gets me pretty close to what I need. Wish I was more comfy without a GUI but don't really have the time to get the hang of it. So it goes.

  • Renters' hopes of being able to buy a home have fallen to a record low, New York Fed survey shows
  • Lived in NYC and every time rent rose to where I couldn't afford it, I would have to blow my savings relocating. A few years ago I instead used the money to gtfo of the state entirely. Love that city but god damn if it isn't a huge trap.

  • Foundry VTT licence bypass?
  • Not aware of any cracks. I use the felddy image on my Unraid setup and the first window on a fresh install asks for the license. Same goes for when I run locally on Windows. I'm sure there's a crack out there, but I'm not aware of it.

    All I can offer is my full endorsement of Foundry. It's worth the money. If $50 is a bit steep at the moment, I think they do offer a small discount with an anniversary sale each year. Not sure when that is exactly.

    Switched from paying Roll20 an annoying monthly fee and it's more than paid for itself now. There is even a tool floating around to export active Roll20 games for use in Foundry. I remember it being pretty inefficient, but better than starting from scratch.

  • Holiday Giveaway - Steam Codes! - Giveaway Ended
  • Returnal

    I recently played BG3 on a Steam Deck using third party wireless Joycons while walking on a treadmill. Lost close to 20lbs. If anyone else has recommendations of other top-down games that aren't camera-heavy that might be good treadmill games lmk! First and third person mess me up a bit. Was thinking of replaying Disco Elysium or finally trying to beat Hollow Knight.

  • As long as everyone is having fun
  • As a GM of exclusively pre-written content, I find this terrifying but intriguing. I would love to be able to totally homebrew an adventure, but the amount of planning and prep beforehand seems daunting (which feels ironic, given my experience as a GM lol). Is it often an illusion of choice, where you may lay out a handful of hooks that, over time, lead to the same destination?

  • Architect here. How can I be the most helpful?

    I am a registered architect. As an active contributor to one of the most damaging industries to our climate (construction & building systems), I often daydream about pivoting careers into something more productive for the planet. I'm not talking about stuff like green washing or ~LEED accreditation~. Even sustainably-focused jobs are hard to come by and usually pretty regionally specific. Architects have a broad set of skills, and it's not always clear where I can take those skills and put them to better use.

    Any thoughts/insight would be appreciated as I hop into my mid-life crisis before 30.
