hey man i know it's super hard but like you can throttle spells as well

it's pretty easy

given how there are spell components to almost all the spells you love to hate

this is really verging on ttrpg vs. why did you not make this a computer game territory because there is no way i would calculate this by hand in the 70s

@worthlessbums 'even when playing Destiny <this guy's a cunt>'

Why? Why play with people who make you unhappy?

@DarkestKale @worthlessbums My experience: because the rest of the group doesn't find them as offensive as I do, or because of Geek Social Fallacy #1.

you know i think /r/rpg is like /r/gamedev

in the sense that i know most everyone in /r/gamedev is not making games

and i don't believe that most people in /r/rpg are actually playing these games

i think they're just making shit the fuck up

Apollo will close down on June 30th. Reddit’s recent decisions and actions have unfortunately made it impossible for Apollo to continue. Thank you so, so much for all the support over the years. ❤️ https://www.reddit.com/r/apolloapp/comments/144f6xm/apollo_will_close_down_on_june_30th_reddits/

pxl,

@christianselig huge thanks for the time we got with Apollo. Any chance you'd like to have a crack at making a Lemmy client?

I’ve had a lot of questions about Reddit’s planned AMA today and “What if they…”, so I added a section to the bottom of my post to answer that and thought I’d share it here too.

I've been told people on this website enjoy me trying to think through computer problems out loud while in incredible pain, so good news: I'm taking my new Thinkpad T14 (https://mastodon.social/@mcc/111218408629532857) out of the box and I'm going to install Linux on it first thing. So expect a LOT of complaining.

Oh… right after posting this I tried to alt-tab, accidentally entered win-tab, and win-tab caused the weather widget I don't want to blossom into a picture of Donald Trump. I guess, somehow, a dedicated button for showing you a picture of Donald Trump is something I should expect of Windows by now.

Today's theme is Normal!

You can take this test to see how "Normal" you are, and also how radically left wing you are! LOL Please share the results if you feel like it, or do nothing at all, because it really doesn't matter!

@RickiTarr Yeah I like tech and spent a whole career with the military. Sure, I like big weapons ok but most "male" associated traits in our society seem pretty negative to me. Yet my best friends are male. Some of whom are gay. Gay Marines. It's a conundrum. 😂

the circus that currently performs in finnish government is getting so out of hands that im just waiting for the day it just implodes in on it self like couple billionaires in a submarine.

Biggest scandal this week in isn’t really about the nazis or their actions, hate campaigns, conspiracy theories or accusations towards international press being a part of putinist propaganda machine.

It is “is it okay to call a nazi accomplish or a nazi with mean names and overall use harsh language when opposing fascism.”-scandal.

For fucks sake I am 👌 close to completely loosing my shit over here.

This weeks and protests in gathered well over 10,000 people in three cities.

Protests were held in Kuopio on Friday 1.9. as well as in Joensuu and Helsinki on Sunday 3.9.

The message is clear; this government is racist, fascist and inhumane in its actions & programmes and finnish people do not accept that.

Next protests is 5.9. in Helsinki as the parliament gathers for the first time.

On pédale ici sur un faux plat montant, tantôt sur l’herbe, tantôt sur de la terre compactée. La pluie arrivant nous incite à ne pas y prendre de pause.

Arrivé au sommet 7 heures après avoir commencé, c’est un soulagement et c’est à peine si il me reste de l’énergie pour marcher ou parler avec toutes les personnes autour.
L’experience est très différente du col ak baital au pamir. Celui-ci donnait la sensation de vivre une aventure, seul perdu dans de grands espaces. Ici, il s’agit plutôt d’une montée brutale, non pas pour les jambes mais les poumons. Cela apprend à mieux connaître son corps et comment il réagit face à la montée en altitude.

Enfin arrivé au lac, celui-ci me déclenche une émotion par sa beauté, comme peu de paysages peuvent le procurer.
Il est bien plus joli que je le pensais, et les photos ne parviennent pas à lui rendre justice.

Threads is the most fun, most interesting new product of the year, and no one in the E.U. can use it, or will be able to use it anytime soon, because their own elected officials passed a law that effectively bans it.

Nice job. Have fun over here in the library.

Assembling the trigger crossbar board over lunch.

Not thrilled with the paste print quality, very inconsistent. the top left corner was way too thick as the board flexed during printing, the middle BGA skipped some pads, and the WLCSP in the bottom right was near perfect.

These big boards bend too much in my paste fixture, I need to find a way to prevent that before I do any more boards of this scale.

Also, life hack for anyone else who has a PicoScope 6000E series oscilloscope: the logic analyzer pods are connected to the scope via a standard SFF-8087 mini-SAS cable, you can find the Molex part number right on the supplied cable. But you don't have to only use that cable!

I had some longer ones than the stock one sitting around and they work fine, at least at lower speeds (you might have trouble working to full rated bandwidth due to cable losses). But this gives me much more freedom of bench layout since I can put the pod a lot further from the scope than with the stock cable.

Are you finding Mastodon to be less vibrant/active?

I’m worried that we are not getting as much engagement on our Ukraine war reporting as we used to.

We’re trying to decide which social media platforms to continue posting on, given how much effort it takes to replicate across all of them.

If you want to send a signal to us that we should keep posting here, will you sign up for our newsletter? http://Counteroffensive.substack.com

I’m only asking Mastodon users today so we can gauge impact.

timkmak,
@timkmak@journa.host avatar

Have been blown away by the response here.

The advice: use apps to automate hashtags and posting; shorter threads longer individual posts; vary posting times.

Also RTs are more important here because in an algorithm-less platform, no one will see us beyond our followers otherwise.

Any more advice?

Will you RT the first toot in this thread?

timkmak,

The news isn’t free.

And you get what you pay for: low quality opinion driven posts on social media for clout; or ad-driven commercial media in big organizations.

Or through the subscriber model, where I’m directly accountable to you.

We do posting on social media as a service to our followers!

But it ultimately will not be sustainable if we don’t get subscribers who sign up to pay.

Does that a little more sense?

What is a word that you had read, but after hearing it spoken aloud, you realized you were pronouncing completely wrong in your head?

Mine is pretty Embarrassing, and is just one of many!

MISLED! I'm not even sure how to type this out for it to make sense, but it was something like:

Seriously heard someone saying they don't listen to many black artists, because they aren't really into rap. Bitch please, feel free to share songs from Black artists from any genre. Here is one of my favorites, if you like this song please check out her other work:
