  • Denk mal über einen Lebend-Insektenfänger nach. Nicht ganz einfach, Fliegen da rein zu kriegen, aber dann kann man sie raus kutschieren, komplett ohne lautes Klatschen. Dürfte der Hund angenehmer finden.

  • Oh Joe...
  • You can get a successful new party but only if one of the two big ones completely self-destructs and creates a power vacuum. And even then the new party will probably be a faction of the defunct one. There definitely won't be a three-party constellation for more than a brief period.

  • Explaining software development methods by flying to Mars
  • PO: Someone else figure out how to repeat what he did.

    Second developer: Sorry, I tried to make sense of his rocket design but I can't figure out how to make a copy that doesn't explode before we even put the fuel in.

  • Thank you for the condolences, DM
  • Yes. This mainly happens when everyone has different expectations without realizing it. That's why is important to talk about these things in advance so you don't end up with a GM who thinks it's obvious that PCs can die at any time due any reason and a player who thinks it's obvious that they won't.

  • Thank you for the condolences, DM
  • Eh, it all depends on what the players and GM want. If everyone's okay with death lurking behind every corner then that's cool. If everyone agrees that death only happens in special preplanned scenes that's also cool. There's only a problem if expectations mismatch.

  • 100 upvotes and I'm doing this tattoo design
  • If you want a snake and a pie chart, at least have the snake do something with it like carrying the chart in its mouth.

    Perhaps you can do the biblical scene of the snake tempting Adam and Eve but this time it's the snake tempting managers with a useless pie chart.

  • [OC] Venus in Blue 1
  • sees picture

    That model looks strangely familiar.

    sees title

    In fact, so does the topic.

    sees who posted it

    Oh yeah, that's why. I helped with this series. (Or did you do two similar ones?) Cool to hear it's going to be exhibited.

  • EA studios 'hunger' to start using generative AI 'as quickly as possible,' says CEO
  • Besides, LLMs struggle with retaining contextual information for long and they're pretty dang resource hungry. Expect a game with LLM-driven dialogue to reserve several gigs of VRAM and a fair chunk of GPU processing power solely for that.

    And then you still get characters who hallucinate plot points or suddenly speak gibberish.

  • So what's changed Microsoft?
  • Given that I literally said I personally encountered this problem: Yes, it does. It's mostly just an annoyance that goes straight onto the "Windows Update jank" pile but I have wasted quite a bit of time helping people deal with connectivity issues that could down to "tinc_vpn" getting automatically renamed to "Network Connection 7".

  • So what's changed Microsoft?
  • Tinc gets broken by Windows updates every once in a while. The problem is that the update sometimes renames the network connections and Tinc needs the connection to have a specific name to work.

    That's the one I personally ran into several times now.

  • Helldivers 2 now delisted in 177 countries
  • And even if we accept that it was always intended to be PSN-only and they decided to launch before PSN integration was done, the fact that multiplayer is entirely dependent on them providing a service is troubling. That's how we lose games.

    I can still launch Rainbow Six 3 and play multiplayer with my friends because it has the server built in and allows direct connect via IP address. You can't do that with a live service game; once the official servers are down the game becomes (partially or completely) lost media.

  • Linux Mint looks to fork more GNOME Apps because of libAdwaita
  • Gtk and QT weren't consistent but there was a Gtk style that used QT as a rendering backend, which allowed you to get some semblance of consistency. Then they came up with Adwaita, which doesn't really allow that anymore.

  • Linux Mint looks to fork more GNOME Apps because of libAdwaita
  • To be honest, I'm kind of afraid that Linux will go the day of Windows with zero UI consistency because of apps that can't be themed to even look vaguely similar or may even take over the window decorations.

    I kinda liked it more when gtk-qt was still a thing and you could actually get a semi-unified look for the while environment.

  • How many of you have something with a belt drive? What do you think of it? Any regrets?
  • When I bought an e-bike for my commute I decided to splurge on one with a belt and I regret nothing. You spend less time messing with it and the bike is a lot nicer to work on when you don't have to worry about getting grease all over your hands. If I was to buy a regular bike I'd see if something with a belt was available within my price range because I like it that much better.

    Mind you, I had that bike for less than two years at this point. I don't know how a belt behaves in the long run.
