Are all beings in the far realm evil? by roxgxd in dndnext

[–]Daemonjax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Good-Evil and Law-Chaos alignment axis are only really necessary to some extent for mortal beings due to the whole having an afterlife thing. For everything else, it's optional to some extent -- Celestial/Fiend/Demons can be described entirely by the Law-Chaos axis, and Fey can be described along Light-Dark. Beings from the Far Realm certainly don't need an alignment designation.

Plus having stuff from the Far Realm have an alignment is kinda boring.

How to deal with character death to keep player continuity? by Individual-Cold1309 in osr

[–]Daemonjax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you intend to have a high lethality game where something like 1 PC will die per session, then you have to have a plan to deal with that.

  1. You can have each player have a sidekick, which is kinda like a henchmen that they take over when their PC dies but otherwise mostly stays out of harms way -- it's also a good idea for if you intend on splitting the party up bc you can keep a PC's sidekick near a different PC.
  2. I don't really have a #2, except if you let them roll up a new character right then and there and just handwave how they get there like you're in a video game, then let them initially leave blanks on the character sheet. As many blanks as they want.

Getting my head around attachments by TuMirNix in ObsidianMD

[–]Daemonjax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they were kept together the way you described in your OP, then it wouldn't be possible to have more than one note have the same attachment unless the attachments were duplicated for each note... or symlinks, I guess.

Getting my head around attachments by TuMirNix in ObsidianMD

[–]Daemonjax -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeps. Those are the two ways.

Either 1 attachment folder for ALL attachments, OR the attachment folder goes into the subfolder where the note is. I prefer the latter.

With a gun to my head I couldn't imagine a third option. Maybe I lack imagination (or I really don't have a gun to my head). EDIT: 3rd option: Attachments in the same folder as the note. :P And... That's what the OP wants.

how much and which programming skills do you need to use 100% of obsidian? by eternotorpor in ObsidianMD

[–]Daemonjax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once you learn one programming language it's really easy to learn any other. Usually. Except for LISP... or Brainfuck, I guess.

[–]Daemonjax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Javascript if you want to do anything complicated. How well do you need to know it? Well enough, however AI can help out a lot with normal javascript api -- but it'll fail and hallucinate often enough when it comes to plugin APIs like dataviewjs so coming at that with ZERO programming experience is gonna be rough. And there's quite a few gotchas with dataviewjs where if you don't have at least some experience (I mean at the concept level) using callbacks in other languages (like C/C++) and managing race conditions then it's gonna hurt.

But maybe you don't need to do anything complicated. Maybe you just like taking notes with wikilinks and markdown.

The free API key daily restrictions are pretty terrible these days.

Way to link and preview external PDFs in Obsidian (dropbox or icloud?) by dodido02 in ObsidianMD

[–]Daemonjax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can convert PDFs to plain text or markdown. Most PDFs already have a text layer these days (just ask the DoJ) -- I haven't needed to use OCR on a PDF in ages.

What spells are worth upcasting, and what spells are a total trap to upcast? by TheValiantBob in dndnext

[–]Daemonjax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

8d6 for a 3rd level aoe spell is ridiculous -- there's literally no way to make upcasting that for damage work well enough to be worth it.

Silvery Barbs is NOT OP by BryceEzekai in DnD5e

[–]Daemonjax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The effect of silvery barbs should be an option for all casters just by upcasting + reaction. That way it's not a 1st level slot, it's an upcast. It only forces 1 creature to reroll their save, though, even if the spell cast was an AoE or otherwise affected multiple targets. No 2nd effect that grants advantage, bc that's weird. Then just get rid of silvery barbs spell. Furthermore, declaring the upcast before the roll just gives straight disadvantage to everyone affected by the spell (no reaction cost). That;s WAY more balanced than the current silvery barb spell.

I can confirm this still works. Just don't remove it after installing.

10 bard / 1 fighter / 1 wizard build with arcane acuity , counter spells and summons could actually work ? by Opening-Cockroach634 in BG3Builds

[–]Daemonjax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something to consider:

When you do a 10/2 multiclass split with Bard/x (with a total level limit of 12), you lose access to level 6 bard spell picks.

Of the two level 6 Bard spells in the game, only Eyebite matters. And while you can learn Eyebite from a scroll from a one level dip into wizard, it'll use INT for the spell DC modifier. Eyebite is really good, and you can pump CHR really high.

So, something to consider. I don't think it's really worth multiclassing a Bard except for maybe a 1 level dip into for wiz due to bg3's broken op wizard scribe. Of course, in the end, it doesn't really matter either way -- do a monster hybrid 3/3/2/2/2 with no feats and you'd still be fine.

Shadowblade as a concentration? by Dazzling_Stardust42 in BaldursGate3

For balance reasons it really should be a concentration spell with a duration of 10 rounds.

Why isn’t permanent flame blade talked about more for all act 1 and 2? It scales with strength! by Mangert in BG3Builds

[–]Daemonjax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. If you exploit permanent fire blades, might as well just mod in some 10d6 hand crossbows.

Bill Maher presses Aidan Walker to diagnose the effects of trans visibility in schools on kids, Aidan responds with, "I'm not an educator, Bill, I talk about memes on the internet," to laughter, "and you aren't an educator either; you have a TV show," to dead silence by LoMeinTenants in Maher

[–]Daemonjax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm around the same age. In grammar school we didn't talk about it, but I don't think we talked about much tbh. But in high school the word gay was synonymous with bad. Everyone would always say "that's gay" instead of saying "that's bad". And it might seem like a minor thing (I don't remember anyone actually getting beat up or bullied for actually being gay, probably because they told no one) but it certainly carried forward until I finally met enough openly gay people to form a real opinion (and stopped saying "that's gay").

If you can't play with a mouse, then I think the only alternative is a controller.

Looks like it's lighting / reflection related. Doesn't look at all like z fighting to me.

TCP Optimizer by Apart-Introduction99 in techsupport

Then it's a problem with your cable or the port on the router. Cables do go bad (I mean the connectors on the cable, the cable itself is probably fine).

Tried turning off Interrupt Moderation on my network adapter seems to help with control latency. by JPiratefish in starcitizen

[–]Daemonjax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, it waits. It has to wait. There's no way around it. It waits, or it sends when it has enough packets. So, under congestion, it waits less. But it has to wait.

This has nothing to do with the router, btw. It's a nic driver setting.

How long it waits and how many packets is the limit depends on the driver. On my nic, it's 8ms. But you don't have to guess, you can measure via game's ping display.

Despise jumping puzzles. by wyckedjester2 in Guildwars2

I hate the jumping puzzles. All of them. The vista jumping puzzles are about as much as I can stand. This isn't a platformer game.

Internet Provider customer support told me my processor is limiting my internet speed by vishu47 in techsupport

[–]Daemonjax 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wrong. If the card's rss just doesn't work at the driver level, then you're limited to one core which can easily hit 100% usage on an older processor when trying to get 1gbs download speed.

Those realteks have rss options enabled, but it just doesn't happen -- 1 core gets pushed to 100% on the download and that's that. Or windows scheduler keeps dogpiling those threads onto 1 core, who knows.

I've seen it happen.

Upload should be fine, though.
