I think it won't be long until Musk has to sell either Tesla or SpaceX because of Twitter acquisition and his downward spiral to madness with that platform.

Final Fantasy XVI soundtrack slaps hard.

@scribus Musk made Xcrement out of Twitter. Somewhat fitting for Twitter, being the outhouse of the Internet.

Twitter is essentially dead for me. I used to lurk some creators on twitter but my open source twitter client choqok failed to fetch any new data for a week now.

I'm watching training videos at work. The narrator is so slow that turning the speed to 125% makes the voice and speech pattern sound normal.

Recently I shocked my colleagues when I told them how many consoles and video games I own. I mean I went to the flea market since I was very little, almost 30 years of bargain hunting. Getting little pocket money makes one think more about how to spend it wisely. Getting games months later for far less half the price is too much of a benefit to ignore, especially PC games lose extremely fast in value. My biggest get was The Elder Scrolls Oblivion that I got a week after release for about 10 bucks. As far as I can remember the seller absolutely hated the game and wanted to get rid of it.

Fiscally irresponsible thoughts: I should rent a virtual server and program myself a virtual table top service for me and my friends (similar to Roll20).

@scribus Could be worse. You could wear those novelty house slippers that make a "fun" sound when making a step.

@scribus To be totally frank: I have a long history of having many dead characters and stupid moments initiated by my dumb decisions. This time, I swear, wasn't the case.
-
@scribus It's a female lizardfolk grassland druid with the name "Chamilia Moonsicle". This type of druid is not a tank. With the natural armor and a wooden shield she has 16 AC. Not bad but still too squishy for my taste.
The first down-to-zero-HP moment happened as she examined a weird barrel that happened to be a mimic-like animated creature. The next time it was a Quickling she managed to percieve (Quickling moved extremely fast) and followed a few steps out of the door, where she got stabbed 3 times with high damage rolls. Then she was hit to the head with a sling by a goblinoid savage (having little HP at the beginning of the battle didn't help either).
I didn't play unreasonable and not without caution but it was more dumb luck than anything else. -
My D&D group started a new campaign and the starting level is 2. I managed to be at 0HP three times within the first two sessions. The first time was a mimic (a barrel), then a quickling, and then some goblinoids with slings.

@zeldatra I started with 0 as it is basically the beginning of Kiryus story, even though it was told much later after the Yakuza 1 release. 0 has some minor spoilers for 4 and quite some references to other installments. It didn't bother me. I rather liked it because I got an 'aha' moment and understood the reference retroactively, making the scene a little bit richer and due to the backstory aspect more understandable. The problem one can see more is making the decision when to play 0. When it comes to real downgrades Yakuza games 3 is the one that aged the worst, as it didn't get the Kiwami treatment and modernizing the controls and gameplay feel. Looking back on it it has some endearing retro aspect of the PS3 era when looking past those flaws. Generally starting with Kiwami 1 isn't bad either gameplay-wise, as the other games feel much more open and there are more areas besides Kamurocho.

@zeldatra Kazuma Kiryu is the most based and good-hearted yakuza who uses violent methods. There is a sub story in 3 where he meets a trans woman https://i.redd.it/339rcr2v8nm61.jpg

@scribus Just a hunch: Are the objects in a hierarchical structure? If so then it's clear why it doesn't work. The coordinates are in relation to the parent's transformation matrix's spanning coordinate system. For example in Unity game objects are in a hierarchical structure and each transform component has only local coordinates. In order to get world coordinates transformed to local coordinates they have to inversely transformed through the whole hierarchy (matrix multiplication with inverted matrices).

I follow some people casually on Twitch. Oh boy Twitch sucks real hard. Watching VODs is practically impossible. The bitrate is not great but the video simply stops loading. Only when the quality is set to "Auto" it works but with the worst quality imaginable. The videos I watched with my 56k modem were similar in quality.

I tasted mead recently but it tasted more like acetone and couldn't stomach more than a few drops. But it's a "me"-problem. It was good and not spoiled. I just have a different taste. Even normal wine tastes like some kind of acetone to me. Grape juice itself is alright for me. I guess the fermentation products are causing the putrid smells and tastes that my nose and tongue cannot deal with. Also beer smells like wet and half-eaten bread with vinegar. Pure vodka also is very nasty as it creates a very strong burning sensation in the esophagus.
Never gonna be drunk because of that alone. -
I'm watching a let's play of Final Fantasy XVI (16) and I really get behind the soundtrack such that I am considering it using for my turn DMing a D&D adventure.

I'm lacking 4 miniatures to complete my D&D character collection. Some of them cost a pretty penny http://rainbowdash.net/attachment/876380

@scribus That's the life of a developer/maker. Easy things taking way longer than anticipated.

I played The Elder Scrolls Morrowind, Oblivion, and Skyrim and their expansions to death but I have no desire for any Bethesda game.

Currently I'm assembling all D&D miniatures of all my characters. Some of them I already had because I bought and painted them myself. However there are some that I don't own. Some of them are pre-painted from Wizards of the Coast and some had no mini at all, as they were played only via Roll20 (VTT). Despite of that I still want a miniature. In total there are 13 characters and I'm missing 6 (5 purchasable pre-painted, one has no miniature and will be 3D-printed).
In total there will be 8 pre-painted, 3 purchased and self-painted, 2 3D-printed.Tuesday, 27-Jun-23 15:44:46 UTC from web -
@zeldatra Your boss has some serious inferiority complex and cannot be proud to have good and promptly working people under his umbrella and cannot be happy not doing the work himself. Seriously I think he wanted to be the man doing this in order to show more face in front of his superiors and gather more reasons for a pay raise.

@chomper Older me says: Basically you can also eat multiple differently flavored gummy bears at the same time without the hassle of disassembly and assembly.
-
@scribus When I was little I created poly(colored) bears by biting off gummy bears in sections and put them together so I had multiple flavors at once.
