What always irked me about that show was that the actual science, like how things were found out and how certain we are in that assessment, is totally glossed over. It sounds more like two potheads philosophising on their couch. It might be entertaining, but you may run away with a severe lack of understanding.

Saw a documentary about Vienna the other day. They have state sponsored housing that is cheap or free and nice to look at and situated together in rich neighbourhoods to work against segregation.

Don’t know if this is the case for all of Vienna or Austria.

It’s so great. For every problem they have put in at least three ways of solving it and two or more they didn’t even think of themselves.

Yes, Scratch, Good Dog

Scratch is the bestest of the best boys. I think he got even better with the new patch. Maybe too good. I threw the vial of smokepowder to blast through a wall. And the good boy thinks I want to play fetch. So while everyone runs away from the wall and I’m getting ready to IGNIS the good boy fetches the smokepowder and brings...

But Scratch actually can come with you. You can summon him with a ball he brings you.

And then he at least sniffes out buried treasure. I don’t consider it to be meta gaming when I dig around after everyone failed their survival checks, when Scratch is pointing somewhere.

Yep, it’s awesome to let him get the last hit in on a hard boss.

At the moment I’m playing a Githyanki. She’s taking (almost) any advantage she can.

For Christmas it would be Weihnachten bei den Hoppenstedts.

I can't stop role playing

I’m currently on my honour run and much to my dismay I can’t stop role playing. I’m playing a Githyanki monk. So far I’ve staked Astarion, dismissed Gale and refused all Illithid powers. All because it made sense for my character. And apart from Astarion these are things that can be quite useful with the increased...

The save option is app-independent. Saved posts are saved on the server. So unless an app doesn’t have a button for it they should all support them.

What is player voice about? The quality of Tav’s voice?

I’m honestly surprised BG3 nabbed this one. To me the voices sound too similar. I’m missing a gravelly voice for half orcs and dragonborn. Or a sassy voice. Or a cute voice.

They had much more variety in the old games. In the German version they even had one with a silly dialect.

That makes much more sense, thanks.

What phone do you sugest for your grandparents?

I got a task to buy a smart phone for my grandparents, they are not techsavy but they know how to use basic functions. Iam looking for an andoid because it has language pack i need. I dont need it to have lots of functions, onley a good camera and a big screen. Bonus points if it can be flashed with some kind of simplefied...

My father-in-law had one. It was awful. It made it so much harder for us to help him with issues. And apart from the system apps everything he got didn’t fit into how everything else worked. He was much better off with a regular Android he got later.

I’ve started using BTRFS on my laptop with OpenSUSE and on my Steam Deck. It does two things for me, which I’m interested in. On OpenSUSE it does a snapshot before every system update. So if anything goes wrong I can easily roll back.

On the Steam Deck I love the deduplication. It’s really great for a ton of Windows games that all need their own little “Windows” environment which amounts to a GB or two per game. With BTRFS I only use that space once.

I used a script that did everything for me, so I’m not 100 % sure. But as far as I know you enable the feature at mount time and then every time you copy something only a reference is copied until you actually do a change to the new or old file.

For everything else a cronjob runs every week or so to search for unnecessary duplicates.

Is there even a Song of Ice and Fire community?

bjoern_tantau,
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

That’s about to change any day now, as soon as Winds of Winter is released. Any day now.

Funnily enough I was more or less just testing out my Steam Deck because I had just put in new hall effect sticks. And I can’t blame anyone but myself for just switching through the options.

bjoern_tantau,
@bjoern_tantau@swg-empire.de avatar

Can’t you pop off the keys and switch them around?

I thought the flexibility of BTRFS was that you could basically always add subvolumes. Shows what I know.
