  1. I have the keys to the house. If it weren't for the heat, I'd be moving my stuff to the house. 31°C and no clouds. Unbearable.

  2. The last season of Disenchantment is quite a mess in how the story was told.

    • @adiwan I think the whole show would have gone a lot better if the first 4 seasons tried to develop the overarching plot during the whole season instead of just the first and last 2 episodes. This latest one was, like, "all plot, all the time!" and it felt so slapped together. Not awful, but I'm glad they didn't try to keep it alive for 40 years, and I'm not hopeful that Comedy Central will pick it up for a revival in 2030.

    • @scribus I think the creators had a lot of internal conflict on how to create an epic and make the episodes episodic, like Futurama and Simpsons. I fully agree with you. I really liked the characters, some more, some less, but none were truly terrible (even Elfo to some degree). It's just that the plot made all of them brainless and stupid stretching all of the characters to an unrecognizable form. Fast-forwarding a lot of the plot didn't help. In this season, multiple times, there was no reason to stop a chase but it happened despite no reason at all.

  3. In a week I'll own a house! I'd be happier if the city wouldn't penny-pinch me. I had to pay a bill for something that the city should pay themselves: an investigation if the city has an interest in buying the house (first refusal right).

    • @adiwan Wow that is a dumb demand, but congratulations on the homeownership!

      about 9 months ago in context
    • @scribus Thanks. The bill was 65€ for that. I will certainly suffer for pleasure of owning a home, especially since there was nothing done for over 40 years and has still wallpaper from the late 70s. What has to be done: New switch box (solar power ready), new electric cables, new windows, roof isolation, the wilderness of a garden needs to be tamed. Also when I'm at it I'll lay down network cables everywhere, at least CAT7 and glass fiber.

  8. That’s Yakuza 3 out of the way, would’ve finished it sooner but due to the way combat works it takes roughly two hours to do one random encounter of beginner level thugs

  11. I’m a few years out from dating being permanently weird, because pretty soon everyone in my pool is either gonna have kids (I AM BAD WITH KIDS) or be enough years younger than me that I, personally, would feel weird dating them even if other people probably don’t really care that much.

  13. Each successive Trump indictment is funnier than the last because every time he’s practically begged people to riot on his behalf at the various courthouses where his arrests occur and like five people show up every time.

  14. In yesterday's D&D session I used my lizard familiar, placed it on my druid character's head, activated the feature to look through the familiar's eyes, and thusly gained 30ft darkvision. A poor man's Goggles of Night.

  20. 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.

    • @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.

    • @adiwan Man, does dumb luck get stupid sometimes, though... lol

    • @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.

  21. OK well Moho keeps basic, fundamental necessities like "manipulating bezier handles" behind their $400 edition so I think they can mango themselves just on principle alone

  23. 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.

    • @scribus my CGI models are all built in an incredibly stupid way that would make any other 3D artist pull their hair off so for this pilot I’ve had to go in and clean up some things in the event that somebody else has to look at it.

    • @zeldatra One major thing I've got is just a simple geometric pattern I want to have rotating externally and counter-rotating on the internal designs, which tbh I could probably write in like eight lines of COBOL or something equally outdated in concept, lol

    • @scribus Moho or Blender would be your best bets probably, with the latter you could just prep the images in Photoshop or something like that beforehand you could just import each element into Blender as a plane and just have the camera looking at them flat from above, with a sun lamp pointing straight down for uniform lighting.

    • @zeldatra 2 days into the demo and I think I may end up saying that I hate moho as much as opentoonz and I could have just made 360 god damned individual batcaveing exports from CorelDRAW by now for apple's kiwiing sake
