  1. @scribus It was always kinda janky. I always credited that feeling to the fact that I'm more familiar with photoshop. GIMP has limitations but was for the simple stuff I did fine. Now all the flaws accumulated to a point that boiled over the threshold of any tolerance I had towards GIMP.

  3. @scribus You need to open it, disassemble it, and clean it with isopropyl or distilled water.

  4. @scribus It is not without its faults. A few music choices are not so smooth and the brutality made me flinch a few times. However in general I enjoyed the story. The characters were believable and the choices they made were properly inferred by the culture and past actions. What the series did well is to reveal the exact amount of backstory and story beats to create tension and make me fear of the outcome of a few characters as death is cheap in that world. I also seen some glowing recommendations of that series and last night I was bored enough to jump into it, so much that I was on the verge of binging it way past midnight. I think it is a very good weekend binge but be aware not to start it too late in the day. Plan at least 6 hours with breaks to watch it.

  8. @scribus I want to keep it conventionally usable. I'm not going fool hacker-mode by using one of the many tiling window managers. Right now I got Enlightenment to behave and runs well enough for now. If all my patience is gone I'll go to Windows XP.

  10. @scribus ironically perfectly in line with a recurring theme in his first game that he is not number one despite his name implying otherwise

  11. @scribus I tested it by building a second “express” highway that covers the same distance and takes you STRAIGHT into key locations with no exits, inspired by I-66 from Virginia to DC where the USDOT did exactly that, and nobody took it. They all preferred to drive on the original. I’m guessing the only calculation the game makes is distance traveled and not “does taking this road actually save me any time”.

  15. @scribus There are some clever alterations, and some character backgrounds got streamlined and more fleshed-out, which I can appreciate, as well a character that got only mentioned in the games and is somewhat integral to the story has more of a spotlight. For me it's a problem that given what we got in the live-action series is vastly different in the core of all.In the game Haruka is Yumi's daughter. Kiryu was in love with Yumi but she died in the end. There is a huge portion with Kiryu bonding with Haruka and then adopting her in the end because Haruka is a constant reminder of that lost love and her being the daughter he could never have with Yumi. This aspect is completely missing as Yumi is alive and Haruka's mother is Yumi's sister. I can glance over some things like Kiryu emoting heavily and him not being an ordinrary money-collecting Yakuza. It makes me want to watch the adaption from 2007.

  19. @scribus yeah you’re far enough down south people would lose their banana over it. I had seen them off the north shore last two years living in the car.

  22. @scribus A mini projector seems kinda gimmicky. I can't see myself using it more than a hand full of times during the device's lifetime. The battery size might be big enough to not to be allowed on flights.

  23. @scribus it hasn't completely escaped my thought process that the background check shows that i've never had any kind of legal judgment made against me, not even a speeding ticket, and somebody simply didn't believe that could be correct

  24. @scribus I still have a background check in progress from Door Dash dating back to when I had nothing to do during Covid and tried to use my free time to earn extra cash with low effort gif work. To this day if I go to check the app they tell me my background check is still in progress.

  25. @scribus Did you do performance test where you show that you can do a 3-point shot from the curb to the porch with a two pound packet?

  26. @scribus It's not in my use case as I need just the ON/OFF function of a button. I guess it'd be possible to use a program like Voicemeeter or Sonar to be controlled by an analogue input for a distortion effect. I don't know how to implement it (in concept I know but not in practice).

  27. @scribus Yeah. It's pain. Agony. Suffering. At this point I'm giving up the keyboard dream as the battery pain is steadily increasing and no real alternative is in sight.

  28. @scribus I created my own character sheet when my group played in person. It was a modified 5e character sheet that squeezed more frequent stuff on the first page and the lesser updated and used ones on the other, like for example one page for equipment and money, one page for spells, one page for class features. The front page had the usual stuff like AC, HP, Temp HP, skills, ability scores, and a hand full of attacks. I did it because the box I used to store my character sheet and dice was smaller than a sheet of standard A4 paper. I repurposed a wooden slide box and put a felt lining in there so I could use one side as a dice tray. During my 4th edition days I was full custom as the character actions could be easily organized in card form, dailies, encounter, at-will. So it made sense to do the rest of the character in card form so it could fit easily into a deck box. Our DM also gave us our items in card form which was also convenient for tracking who has which item.

  29. @scribus Yeah. They used children mystery novels as the theme of the episode. Nancy Drew, Hardy Boys, Tintin et Filou. My reaction might be harsh but it was quite disjointed and too illogical to follow. A lot of jokes are for those who know the book series but a lot more were just random for the sake of being random. I might be wrong but the way the episode was presented rubbed me the wrong way. On the positive: they did a great job adapting the art style of Tintin et Filou.

  30. @scribus I am struggling as well with mine. It barely lasts a day idling. I have to keep it plugged in over night, otherwise there is a chance it's dead next morning.
