Presumably, someone attempting to mug you would probably be a bandit (+3 to hit, +1 to damage), not another commoner

Looks like it expired last month so they had a 1 month grace period

yeah, i think that's actually a setting on the lemmy side, you can restrict the size of uploads to prevent abuse and such. We're using whatever the default is, i've never changed it.

 

Yesterday we had a bit of an outage with image storage on our instance; Got some messages about it at one point, but that said, everything should be back up and running. Is anyone else running in to issues? I had one user mention that they had a problem this morning, but I wanted to see if anyone else was running in to problems.

Let me know! If there's issues, we can get to the bottom of it, and get things hammered out.

Actually, reddit is not coming. That's kinda the whole problem outlined above.

i second the comment that you need to consider why you want to do this. You generally need a pretty good reason to split your codebase into multiple languages.

As far as actually doing it, you have a ton of different options, some of which have been mentioned here. Some i can think of off the top of my head:

  • create a library (dll or so file or the like)
  • set up a web server and use communication protocols (either web socket or rest API or the like)
  • use a 3rd party communication/messaging framework like MQ or kafka or something
  • create your own method of communication. Something like reading and writing to a file on disk, or a database and acting on the information plopped in

basically every approach is going to require you to come up with some sort of API that the two work together through, though, an API in the generic sense is basically a shared contract two disconnected pieces of code use to communicate.

Just like Pathfinder, OOOOOOHHHHHHHH!!!

nah, I'm kidding. But yeah, the video is kinda mediocre. The lyrics are ok, the delivery is meh, but like you said I appreciate the effort.

same. Ive played it for about ~10 hours on the steam deck so far, and i have my FPS counter turned on at all times; never seen it dip below 40, and i dont think ive touched any settings. On an original steam deck, not an OLED, though

for what its worth, the new (2024/2025) monster manual supposedly has spellcasting monsters with more "magical" actions built in. While they do still have a list of spells, they have more built in tailored "magic action" type things they would be using instead of spell casting in most scenarios, like having a "magic bolt" type attack for a mage or something. We don't exactly know how extensive this is yet, since we've only seen previews so far, but it could make running spellcasting creatures a bit easier.

windows can still play castle of the winds? i play it all the time. In fact, i just booted it up again a moment ago to make sure it didnt break recently or something. I dont remember ever having any issues playing it, and ive played it off and on for decades. In fact, googling real quick, it looks like my abandonware even has a "easy installer" for it.

If a user is banned on their home instance, that ban is federated out to all instances. If a user is banned on a remote instance, they're just banned locally on that instance, and their account remains active for all other instances.

They're likely some remote users who have interacted enough with your instance to be federated over, and then banned on their home instance.

They were ripping off both their users and anyone using affiliate links (including the content creators who promoted them)

During checkout, when you clicked the "find coupon" button in honey (which it prompted you to do on screen during checkout), it would strip out any affiliate link and add their own. So if you clicked on a product from a review, they would strip out the referral link from the YouTube video or website that sent you and indicate they sent you instead and get the commission.

In addition, they were working with online retailers and basically extorting them. They said that if retailers paid them a fee, they got to pick the discount code that was used during checkout. So if there was a 20% coupon and a 5% coupon, stores could pay them to ignore the 20%.

This, in turn, was basically faking out their users, thinking they were giving them the "best deal" like they claimed to.

Might be worth starting in c/RPG with basic questions, and if they end up drumming up a lot of conversation maybe a community is warranted? I know traveller has been around a long time, but I don't ever hear too much about it so I'd guess the community for it is pretty niche

 

Thought this might be appreciated here. Looks like a whole host of books, I have no idea how these particular editions are as I haven't played em

Today marks one year since the TTRPG network was set up after the whole hubbub over at reddit. While we certainly haven't been the largest instance in town, we're still reasonably active, and overall i think things are going pretty good.

Not really much to say, just wanted to point out our fedi-versary. Thanks for participating and hope everyone is still enjoying themselves!

 

Wotc dropped a big video today all about the upcoming edition. There's a few articles breaking down some of the information out there already.

 

Just a small FYI update, the host that we used just informed us that our website is now certified green hosted by the green web foundation, meaning that our site is completely hosted by clean energy.

You should see the badge display in our sidebar about it starting today.
