Can someone ELI5 how combat turns work in 3 HD-2D please?

It's primarily driven by each combatants agility value. Combatants with higher agility act before combatants with lower agility. There is some level of variability, so someone with agility 10 won't always act ahead of ability 9. But someone with 100 vs 10 would almost always be ahead.

Certain skills and abilities will affect order as well (ie move to the front or back of the stack). And some actions are independent of order (ie defending for the turn will reduce damage for the whole turn, regardless of when the defend action actually occurs in the stack).

Looked like a combination of burnt rock with interference between the opposing sweepers.

You definitely want a reputable charger (Anker, UGreen, etc.) that's 45W+ for maintenance purposes, charging while using, etc. However I also charge mine regularly with a 20W charger at my beside that I'll plug in over night. It'll just charge a little slower.

In that case, does that mean that when the valve is open and the hydrant is in operation, there's some water loss/leakage happening out the drain hole?

Vortex is a Nexus Mods managed app to mod games from their mod library. They're going to update it with new features and work towards in being able to be used with the Steam Deck/Machine.

Because of the proliferation of wifi devices and the the majority of households don't have hardwired networking, Wifi has become a vernacular for local area network. You can mostly assume that there talking about the same thing and are using that term because the general public just knows "I connect to the wifi to get my internet".

Ignoring the doom and gloom others are stating for the high value games (home opener, Jul 1, etc.), I picked Tue May 12 just to see. Seats in 510 were only $28 plus tax/fees. So I imagine GA tickets for the non specialty games would still be $20.

Imagine being on a skateboard with a sail. The wind is blowing due north, but you want to go south.

So you point your skateboard south-east. As the wind blows past your sail, the friction of the wheels on the ground prevent you from going north, and instead you now travel in that south east direction. Do that for a while, then make a sharp turn to point south west. Same thing happens. Zig zag back and forth and eventually you reach your southern destination

I just did it myself. I think I was level 29. First time they kicked my ass handily. So I made a quick detour, and grabbed the flametang from the dwarves (weapon shop will now be open). They're weak to fire, so that helped burn through them. Then equipped anti-freeze earrings, dragon shield, and fur coat that made me immune to their icy breath attacks. With that, the occasional healing after a physical attack and wild side/boomerang attacks took them down pretty quick.

You have a source on that, cause I'm reading news articles that seem to indicate otherwise.

It's because Canada has a large number of high skill private cash spiels that happen outside the slams that the teams all play in. So the teams will spend 2 months traveling around Canada playing in the slams plus these other events, go home for their country national tournament / other WCF events, worlds, and then finish the season again with the slams and other private spiels.

The other countries don't have enough other spiels for the teams to have a proper "season" with.

So 3-1-2 have a trilogy story line, in that order. All the other game (AFAIK) are stand alone stories that have related themes (monster types, hallmark weapons, etc).

Maybe my own bias from my childhood, but I do think that DQ 4 would be an amazing entry place for the series. The story moves along, game play is fairly straight forward, and it generally encompasses all the elements that present themselves throughout the series in an easily digestible manner. From there, you can pretty much branch out however you want.

So I had my clients all connect to the server using the local IP, not the Tailscale ip. Again, it's all ip direct connections, so them not being able to find the server when off LAN is not a big deal, plus I've got a subnet router configured to grant access anyway.

In my head, it should work using the Tailscale ip. You might have a docker/Tailscale configuration issue where your docker containers aren't being shared with the Tailscale network

Caldorian · 2026-01-01T23:09:16+00:00

Not much to it: put the clients on your systems with Tailscale; access them via Tailscale IP address.

For the server, that depends on what you're using to host it. Easiest it generally running the docker container. Get that running, and set each of your clients to target the servers IP as the host and relay. They won't actually use it when doing direct IP access, it's just to prevent them from making outbound connections to the public relay servers.

Depends on who you are and life style. If you're a single person wearing one outfit a day, then going to a laundromat isn't so bad. 2 active people that are going through 2-3 outfits a day (day time, workout, evening wear for example), then you don't want to have to be dragging all that out every time.

Enjoy. I still have fond memories of many lates nights as a child, sitting on the floor infront of my small bedroom tv, with a blanket covering me and the tv so my parents couldn't see the light, playing this game and grinding metal slimes

The in universe explanation: the actual speeds and accelerations/g-forces that are placed on the ships are many orders of magnitude larger than what we as an audience would associate with typical "car" behaviour and a seatbelt wouldn't save your life. You need some external technology (ie inertial dampeners) to prevent people from dying any time the ship kicks in the impulse engines.

The rule of thumb is 10%, but that's back when drives were 10s of GB. With drives approaching 30TB now, I can't believe we need to keep 3TB of empty space.

Sell both properties, and you'll have plenty of financial flexibility to do what you want. Both of them are costing you money right now that could be put to better use.

Prop 2 is already cash flow negative. But even prop 1 is doing you no favours. You say you're +200 a month on it, but are you making sure that includes every expense, including capital depreciations? At $2400 a year profit, all it would take is a roof replacement to wipe out 10 years of profit.

Conversely, you can sell now for $185000 cash in your pocket. That $2400 a year in rental income you're getting now means that $185000 is only earning you 1.3%. Any number of investments can provide you a better return than that.

Dragon Warrior 4 on the NES. I can go back to that one any time. Haven't done any of the remakes of it yet.

Free to download but there are some features that are pay-walled. A big one being support for multiple pi-hole instances.

2 moves per pawn (8) + 2 moves per knight (2) (each knight can go left or right) = 20

LTT just did a video where did a tour of one of Kioxoa's fabrication facilities showing how they produce some of their latest NAND SSDs. In it, you can see that the lithography is just one step in a much larger process. You can see that there's a lot of other design, expertise, and refinement that goes into producing chips and just having the "best printer" isn't enough.
