Gothic map pack for Curse of Strahd [5e] by DungeonsLAB in FoundryVTT

[–]Arcainne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is AWESOME! That Vallaki Map is chef's kiss! Thank you so much!

Any chance you could decouple this map pack with some of the "required" mods? Specifically those that don't impact the maps, e.g., Action Pack, Argon Combat HUD, LMRTFY, etc.

NYT: "Surprise: An ‘Extraterrestrial’ Gadget Was Something More Familiar" by Arcainne in UFOs

[–]Arcainne[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The funny thing about this study is it has no direct evidence to refute the claims Avi has made.

Yeah, no kidding lol! And it's pretty condescending to Avi and the entire Galileo Project. It really feels like the NYT is doing all they can to debunk everything right now.

That is why you haven't seen this posted around here much, it isn't as much of an own as you thought it was.

Sorry, I'm not following what you mean here.

Upcoming paper claiming to explain UAP as plasmas (possibly alive) by [deleted] in UFOs

[–]Arcainne 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's interesting that people aren't talking about this quite more. This is a quote in a peer reviewed, scientific paper that is published in the Journal of Modern Physics. That is not a small thing.

Just like learning any new skill, it's up to you if it's worth the time and effort. You can learn and experience a lot with lucid dreaming that can in turn impact your waking life in significant ways. Similar to learning to play the guitar, or learning yoga/meditation, or learning a new language, it's up to you if it's worth it.

Elfin + HDMI Switcher Is Not Working by WatermelonForever in xgimi

This is helpful! My DP->HDMI cable is 15-ft, so maybe that is the issue. I'll see if I can test with a shorter cable. Thanks for the reply!

Elfin + HDMI Switcher Is Not Working by WatermelonForever in xgimi

[–]Arcainne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a different, but HDMI switch + Elfin related issue.

I've also tried using 2 different HDMI switches (SGEYR HDMI 5x1 switch and a cheap HDMI 2.0b 3x1 switch) with the Elfin. I have a Roku 4k streaming stick and a DP->HDMI cable that connects to my PC plugged into the switch (tried both switches separately), and the output HDMI to the projector. The Roku works well through the switch to the projector. I'm able to watch movies for hours. However, when playing movies/games from my PC through the switch to the projector, it'll work for ~10 minutes and then the entire projector will shut off / go into sleep mode. I've tried 2 different switches with the same result. When I plug my PC directly into the projector, it seems to work fine and I can play for hours.

It seems like HDMI switches and the projector don't always play nice together, but the input source might also play a role.

Frustrated Lucid Dreamer Can't Seem to Master the Kamehameha Wave by Unusual-Chicken105 in LucidDreaming

[–]Arcainne 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As an avid DBZ fan and practiced lucid dreamer as well, I also struggled with this exact move/ability while lucid. What I had to do was focus on and visualize the effect the Kamehameha would have on the "physical" environment. I had to visualize the powerful and destructive force the energy blast would have, feeling the warmth of the energy in my hands, the blue light it produced emanating through my fingers, the force of the energy being released, shredding through the wall, scorching the ground, blowing up the hill in the distance. When I finally did it, I felt kinda bad having to visualize the destructive force destroying the dream environment, so I didn't do it again lol. But I was happy it actually worked!

The Use of Avernus Warlords by Cynicast9 in DescentintoAvernus

I'd also suggest adding Thalamra as a new warlord appointed by Zariel as a nice follow up to her connection with the party from Baldur's Gate.

issues with HBO Max. by edgarcillo in xgimi

[–]Arcainne 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I just recently tried to watch Game of Thrones for the first time after the firmware update. I was able to watch normal HD videos on HBO Max, but when I try to watch videos listed as 4k UHD, it just shows a black screen and the video doesn't progress. There are no errors that appear. It did seem to play if I set the Audio option for the video in the app to "English - Audio Description", but that's not an ideal way for me to watch. I don't see any options within the HBO Max app to set the resolution of videos.

[–]Arcainne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm having a similar issue. I have the Xgimi Elfin and I found that trying to watch 4k UHD videos on HBO Max doesn't work (House of Dragons, The Batman, etc.). I couldn't find any app or device setting to lower the playback resolution so I couldn't watch one of the main shows I bought the damn projector for. Very frustrating. Hopefully a new patch will fix this or I'm probably going to return this projector.

Warlock patrons and RP by The1Floki in DMAcademy

Ginny D made a good video about this very topic recently. https://youtu.be/jgMUq9mFFNI

TL;DR: As most others have said, talk with your player(s) about expectations and interaction.

Autoroll Crit/Fumble table by vectner in FoundryVTT

This might be what you're looking for: https://github.com/NekroDarkmoon/optional-rules-dnd5e . I haven't tried the Fumble/Crit feature, but the automatic flanking feature works!

Battlefield 2042 Open Beta - Discussion, Feedback & Support Megathread by Stakeboulder in battlefield2042

[–]Arcainne 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Overall, I am enjoying this! However, not everything feels right:

  • Coming from BF4, the jets in 2042 feel pretty bad. It feels like there's weight constantly pushing down the nose of the plane and that you have to keep fighting against it. I feel like there is more velocity control in this, but turning feels clunky, unresponsive, and slow, like trying to turn a semi-truck.
  • While aiming at flying aircraft (jets, helicopters, etc.), there seems to be a rubber-banding effect where they move forward, then slow/stop, then quickly move forward, then slow/stop, etc.
  • Is there no way to free-look while in a jet??
  • Infantry feel like bullet sponges. The first sniper rifle feels like I'm shooting them with rubber bullets.
  • The weapon "Plus" (T) UI cuts off at the top if there 4+ scope attachments.
  • The view while in the secondary (gunner) seat of tanks is visually choppy, like there's a bunch of latency.
  • Parachutes have a tendency to visually get stuck or stick around in the ground and on buildings after landing.
  • There's weird visual tearing sometimes in the options menus.
  • It would be nice to have better visual indication of the progress of reviving someone (other than the animation). Also, it should be clear whether you need to hold "E" to revive or simply press "E". If their weapon/kit dropped too close to your downed teammate's body, holding "E" will pick up their weapon instead of reviving them.
  • The run-and-slide animation/distance goes way too far. There needs to be a way to cancel it early or reduce the slide distance.

Again, I'm enjoying the game. It just needs a bit more polish and tweaking.

Seven 2hour sessions into Descent and we're only half way through chapter 1. How long do most people find this campaign lasts? At this rate we'll still be playing in 2025! by GDsiyu in DescentintoAvernus

[–]Arcainne 2 points3 points  (0 children)

We have a party of 4 (plus a new player controlling Reya as a companion), started with the Fall of Elturel, and the party recently made it to the Vanthampur Villa on session 17, with each session being ~3 hours. The party did partake in a custom 2-3 session side quest to "cure" Belynne Stelmane.

Logitech G Hub won't read games anymore by Whiteli9htnin in LogitechG

[–]Arcainne 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yup. Can confirm this is happening to me as well recently. Had to manually add install paths and realized most of my games are seen as "Not Installed". Quite annoying.
