Leftist with an incorrigible love for fancy aesthetics (mostly Renaissance Italy/Victorian England) that might be incorrectly read as a monarchist because of that.

Notes about what I want to do to a pathfinder character. Something I was meaning to text to the DM but they seem to be busy so I'm saving it for later.

I also enjoy fucking around with a game controller while staring at the Windows Start Menu with no video game open.
The TempleOS guy also thought he could speak to The Lord by making his computer generate random word strings.
She was a he when I wanted him. Came out as transgender a few years after.
Cool gal, tho.
As a technology it's nothing special, a solution looking for a problem.
As a speculative bubble and tech industry gold rush it was outright destructive.
Of course, unless it makes a comeback somehow, the days of blockchain as a tech industry gold rush seem to be over. Now the samesuch grifters are pushing AI (ANOTHER solution looking for a problem) where it don't belong instead.
Corporation uses tool loved mostly by corporations to create corporate advertising.
It's not even that, it's slightly more indirect
Google Gemini was trained by slurping up all of Reddit.
Yknow
That bastion of human kindness
The machine imitates what it sees, and it saw Reddit. So.
Hence the lack of outright slurs, even if being equally psychotic.
If this was an autocorrect goof I implore you not to edit it ever.
Conservatives hate government overreach
Unless someone is gay
Then the government should reach all around to prevent them participating in public life.
The main draw of Mastodon for me (and why I didn't stick with the *key servers) is following hashtags. Really eases post discovery in an algorithm free world.
Otherwise the misskey forks have all manner of neat features to make using them a delight.
There's the part where all the firstborn sons die unless their parents paint the walls with sheep's blood.
I've been part of a Strength of Thousands campaign for the past year or so. Incredibly fun adventure path for PF2.
What's a technology that was cooler in its older iterations?
I don't mean BETTER. That's a different conversation. I mean cooler.
An old CRT display was literally a small scale particle accelerator, firing angry electron beams at light speed towards the viewers, bent by an electromagnet that alternates at an ultra high frequency, stopped by a rounded rectangle of glowing phosphors.
If a CRT goes bad it can actually make people sick.
That's just. Conceptually a lot COOLER than a modern LED panel, which really is just a bajillion very tiny lightbulbs.
If we're gonna armchair-diagnose people based on their OS, we should do it for all of them
Cheekily "fixing" this post
A meme very specific to one of my current ongoing campaigns, presented with 0 context
[Transcript] > >Character looks down at a sword on the ground and asks "Hey little corpse of God, how's it going?" > >Next panel shows the sword surrounded by flames, angry scribbles, and those "menacing" kanji from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure > >A quiet beat panel > >Character says "... Yea."
Do you people also make memes off of your campaigns? Care to share some out of context?
What the hell even is Diet Coke?
Like, the nutrition facts table says it contains nothing other than some sodium. No sugars or fats or calories at all
Yet it clearly is edible, so what is it? Some concoction made mostly from indigestible minerals?

Can't log into Elden Ring on Linux?
Title. Game otherwise works great. Windows-using friends say it works for them. Networking is also normal on computer.
I initially thought it could be anticheat related so I disabled mangohud and made sure Easy AntiCheat was launching etc.
But no cigar, the game loads and errors out like in the pic. :
It seems to do so immediately, too, like it's not even trying to connect?
Tried it on my Deck too, same error.
Do not have a Windows PC to try it on, but it's really confusing me, because it ran perfectly until today. :P
Who or what is Jerma?
My younger friends all talk about this Jerma person like he's some kind of mythical entity. An eldritch being that cannot be explained for any attempt at explanation inevitably fails.
I am confused. From what I could gather he's like... A streamer? Content creator?
Is there any advantage to tying game logic to frame-rate?
Way back in the day, every game had its logic tied to its framerate -- As anyone who's ever tried to run an eighties PC game on a nineties PC only to see it run at 20x speed and completely unplayable can tell you.
But in the modern day this is less common. Generally the game keeps chugging along at the same pace, no matter how fast or slow the frames are being presented (unless, of course, everything is bogged down so hard that even the game logic is struggling)
And yet, you'll still find a few. Any fan of Dark Souls who played on PC back when Prepare to Die edition first came to PC will remember how unlocking the framerate could cause collision bugs and send you into the void. And I recently watched a video of a gent who massively overclocked a Nintendo Switch OLED and got Tears of the Kingdom to run at 60FPS... Except everything was, indeed, running in fast-forward, rather than just being smoother.
This makes me wonder -- Is there some unseen advantage to keeping game logic and framerate tied together? Perhaps something that only really shows on weaker hardware? Or is it just devs going "well the hardware we're targeting won't really go over this speed, and we don't really give a fuck about anything else" and not bothering to implement it?

Why do hacked channels on youtube always post Tesla/SpaceX stuff?
Youtube Channel SaveAFox, previously a channel about like, a fox sanctuary that showed cute footage of the foxes to get more donors, got hacked today.
It is now full of videos claiming to be from SpaceX and Elon Musk's ugly mug.
Thing is
It's not the first channel I've seen being hacked, nor is it the first to get that exact type of content spammed into it. Linus Tech Tips got hacked some time back (honestly I don't remember how long ago, but I was already on Lemmy, so it was within the past year and change) and it had that exact type of stuff before LMG took it back.
And there was another random channel that I saw suffer the same fate some months before LTT.
My question is -- Why Elon Musk? Why SpaceX/Tesla? Is Musk himself paying people to build zombie farms for him? I wouldn't put it past him but at the same time he has the funds to not need that kind of tactic -- He could astroturf by more "legit-looking" means.
Is it just because people who like Musk are more likely to fall for scams?
Idk, found myself wondering that.
GBoard replacement?
Title.
I'm not sure I'm ready to go all "lineageOS full degoogle" on my phone because some rather necessary day-to-day apps for me will freak out if I have root, let alone a modified OS. Buuuut GBoard has gotten right in my tit, and now they're offering nightmarish AI generated emoji and I'm like "NO". So.
I don't really care about predictive text or swipe-typing or any of that stuff, I mostly just type normally.
The only nice-to-haves that might entice me would be support for one-handed mode and a configurable keyboard layout.
Cool and challenging romhacks?
Title.
Pokémon's too easy to be fun anymore, but Nuzlockes don't work for me for a number of reasons. So I figured I'd play one of those romhacks that redesigns trainer teams -- That way I could play the game normally but also would have to use my brain.
Any base game will do, although I'm not too fond of Gen4 because of how slow Gen4 pokémon games tend to be (gen5 is the prettiest, ofc)
