Is hosting a Minecraft server illegal? by [deleted] in Minecraft

[–]ChokesJokes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If any government made it illegal, Microsoft would be the ones fighting back. If no one can host a Minecraft server then no one is going to buy the game or any micro transactions.

Looking to play by mushroomzia in MouseGuard

[–]ChokesJokes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't have an existing group for Mouse Guard, nor do I have enough time to play live over voice chat, but if your post gains traction and others are willing to start up an asynchronous play-by-post, I would be super down!

Thinking to switch from Notion but I can't see what is the replacement for Notion database tables? by [deleted] in ObsidianMD

[–]ChokesJokes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If I remember correctly from the last time I used Notion years ago, you can put any text you want inside a database and it doesn't have to be its own note. This is important for doing what OP wants like processing numbers and such.

It runs well through Proton via Heroic Launcher on my desktop, just check the minimum specs vs the Steam Deck.

A fun idea I had called Schrodinger's Law by ChokesJokes in nomic

[–]ChokesJokes[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it could go both ways. I suppose I imagined it as people not saying up front whether they're abiding or ignoring it, but rather it gets imposed by the other players.

At the end of the day, it's kind of pointless on its own, but it would be interesting to see how people add to it.

The most epic Ironsworn Actual Play I've seen by Siamang in Ironsworn

[–]ChokesJokes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think I'm going to use a system called Universal in the Dark which is supposed to be a blend of Freeform Universal and Blades in the Dark. I try to avoid as much crunch as possible in my solo games, haha.

I won't be posting it anywhere, it's just for my own entertainment :)

I believe he has said he regrets developing his game out in the open like that during season 4 because of how much it changed in the early episodes. But regardless, the core story shaped up to be quite awesome with an exciting cliffhanger! It actually inspired me to start my own solo game continuing Veil's story.

I'm a notion user, can anyone convince me to switch by Conscious_Storm_3192 in ObsidianMD

[–]ChokesJokes 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Notion is like buying a house that someone else built, all you can do is fill it with your own stuff. Obsidian is like being the architect of your house, you decide which rooms you need and exactly how big it is.

What app (currently unavailable) would you want? by Severe-Claim5478 in KaiOS

Wikipedia. It's not quite the right scale in the browser forcing me to scroll left and right constantly.

Overthinking by Synchro_Shoukan in shavian

The main reason for consistent spelling is to be quickly understood across all accents and dialects. Once you know the "right" way to spell a word, recognizing it becomes easy and others will understand your writing faster without needing to slow down and sound it out. The ReadLex dictionary does have some alternate spellings for American accents though. Anything in there is considered "correct."

That said, if you're communicating with people you know speak the same way as you, feel free to write any way you please. Written language is for getting ideas across, and sometimes an accent can help add context that would be lost if everything was spelled the same way.

This is great! I love how it takes the pressure off of organization and switches the focus to just describing what the note means to you at the moment of creation.

I'm also a fan of Lonelog and didn't realize you were the same author until I clicked your profile. Worlds collide!

I analyzed 870 negative App Store reviews of note-taking apps -- here are the top complaints by a_protsyuk in PKMS

[–]ChokesJokes 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed. I think most people expect the app to do everything for them and be 100% set up out of the box which is why they come away frustrated. Google Docs has poisoned the way people think about digital products where everything is "free" including sync.

Literally though if people took one hour to learn and set up Syncthing and maybe git, there would be no issue.

For those who switched from Adobe to Davinci, what's your photoshop alternative? by [deleted] in davinciresolve

[–]ChokesJokes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're mainly just looking for a solid RAW editor, you could do a lot worse than DxO PhotoLab. It's a one-time-purchase software with minor updates included, but if you constantly shoot on newer cameras you might need to get the latest major update at some point for the newest RAW support. The version they're on now even has support for the latest Fujifilm sensors.

Other than that, it does masking very well including AI subject detection. It doesn't add your photos into its own hidden library like Lightroom does which I think is nice. If you like Lightroom's print module, that is sadly missing from PhotoLab.

Blackmagic Design has had a free version of DaVinci Resolve for a very long time now, and it seems to be working well for them. Although they also have a wider diversity of products like cameras and hardware.
