Foundry VTT is amazing. Been running Kingmaker for almost 2 years on it with the official module (very slow pace, 1-2 sessions a month). I’d argue it’s basically mandatory if you’re serious about online TTRPGs.

Should have read the fine print my friend

Here’s an absolute classic unix koan about the terminal:

One evening, Master Foo and Nubi attended a gathering of programmers who had met to learn from each other. One of the programmers asked Nubi to what school he and his master belonged. Upon being told they were followers of the Great Way of Unix, the programmer grew scornful.

“The command-line tools of Unix are crude and backward,” he scoffed. “Modern, properly designed operating systems do everything through a graphical user interface.”

Master Foo said nothing, but pointed at the moon. A nearby dog began to bark at the master’s hand.

“I don’t understand you!” said the programmer.

Master Foo remained silent, and pointed at an image of the Buddha. Then he pointed at a window.

“What are you trying to tell me?” asked the programmer.

Master Foo pointed at the programmer’s head. Then he pointed at a rock.

“Why can’t you make yourself clear?” demanded the programmer.

Master Foo frowned thoughtfully, tapped the programmer twice on the nose, and dropped him in a nearby trashcan.

As the programmer was attempting to extricate himself from the garbage, the dog wandered over and piddled on him.

At that moment, the programmer achieved enlightenment

Definitely a million times more deserving of a spot than Israel.

Came to the comments to add exactly this. Am I predictable, or is this just the natural reaction to this image?

The ending is a real cop-out though

I adored the presequel, did so many interesting things. The verticality, stomp attacks and oxygen masks were awesome. Also the low grav meant the maps could be way more varied and interesting.

Waited for the reviews for the third (never pre-order, always wait for reviews!) and it just seemed so… mid. Definitely happy I dropped out of that franchise when I did.

There are no “good guys” or “bad guys” in geopolitics, just shades of grey. On quite a few topics, the EU is better, but any government is capable of doing stupid shit.

The A is a bit more open than in English, kinda like the A in father, but otherwise no.

Very normal in Romania at least (miau). Not as weird as what we write for dog barks (ham).

DESKTOP! Wait, snake desktop? How’d that get in the script?

Of?

You can’t run an LLM on a crappy PC, that’s true. You need at least a decent CPU. If you’re running an LLM locally, there’s no calls to the outside world. I have a very mid computer, it isn’t great, and unfortunately I need to work with LLMs due to my job. A call to my local LLM might take ~2 minutes where using an online platform it might take ~30 seconds, but I think that’s a reasonable trade.

If you have a gaming PC, you have a platform that can run a local LLM.

If you really really want/need an LLM for some reason, install ollama. It’s the only safe and easy way to do it.

How are they multiplying the pots?

I have a friend who does game QA. A lot of the time issues this major are caught, documented, and then management decides the extra delay to solve it isn’t worth the effort because “it’s not going to impact enough people to matter”. Then, once a firestorm erupts due to public backlash, they try and blame it on QA.

My friend has gotten very good at ass-covering, and makes sure every issue ticket is very explicit, not only in terms of what the issue is, the cause, reproducibility, but also how likely the average user is to hit it just to avoid blame.

Wolverine!

I have a sneaking suspicion that that Palestinian carpenter wasn’t just a commie, but also a Jew!

Of course I’ll resign as dictator after the emergency is over, fellow Romans! This is the way it’s always been done!
