The Penguin Calls
  • I mean, I can imagine CreativeCloudOS becoming a required install eventually in addition to the monthly fee and your firstborn for creative cloud. It may not be super likely but Adobe cutting out Microsoft from its money pipeline doesn't sound impossible

  • Windows 11 is closing a loophole that let you skip making a Microsoft account
  • I upgraded my win10 steam pc to bazzite and the Linux driver for my old R9 380 graphics card actually supports a newer vulkan version than the win10 one, games are running great so far. I don't do insane gaming obviously but I think for older games it's a no brainer upgrade

  • Uhhh... what spell are you using?
  • I also didn't downvote, but maybe you would want to convey the information to your players that creatures here can use that spell without outright killing a PC in the first battle? Like "you guys should really watch your health points in this area" type of thing

  • What made you join Lemmy?
  • The goal of 3rd party apps is to do what's best for the user so they continue to use their app

    The goal of Reddit's official app is to do what's best for Reddit

    It's possible to expand on the functionality but that's the fundamental misalignment on priorities regarding users

  • South Korean parliament votes to impeach acting president Han Duck-soo
  • Well, organometallic molecules are famously way more dangerous to us (e.g. mercury vs dimethylmercury), so it's not really controversial to say that pumping tons of tetraethyl lead directly into the air people breathe may have been worse than whatever can leach out of lead pipes or dishware.

    Now that leaded gasoline is mostly phased out (except for avgas), I imagine the prevalence of lead poisoning will settle closer to what it may have been a millennia ago

  • As imaginary numbers (square root is negative) are useful, is there any mathematical use for an imaginary number that, when multiplied by zero, gives a non-zero result?
  • I'm curious, couldn't we define z as only 1/0? Then 2/0 would have to be factored to 2*(1/0) first and it would solve this specific example of things breaking. I haven't done advanced math in a while but your comment picked my curiosity haha

    I remember 1/0 is pretty important in limits and stuff, it just seemed to me that this specific example seems not too hard to resolve

  • Reminded me of the early days YT videos 😂
  • I think the song is cool, the theatrics are fun, although in case it's not obvious to everyone, the person isn't actually playing the song, and even the guitar hero-type scroll doesn't look like it matches the song. Doesn't make it less fun though haha

  • Pole user rule
  • In an unarmored context, which applied very often throughout history, the spear is easier to use and especially lighter, which makes it a better and more nimble weapon. Spears can also be much longer than heavier pole arms whilst remaining usable, keeping the danger further away from the user

    The speed at which one can move a spear tip is impressive and getting stabbed by it has large stopping power. The spear can also parry attacks in a large sweeping area, which makes it hard for anything else than another spear to get through

    The more complex pole weapons start to shine in an armored context, where stabbing someone at the end of your long pointy stick becomes harder. Then, the hook-y, chop-y and spike-y bits of the halberd can really help tackle the armor
