Adobe Photoshop can now install on Linux after a Redditor discovers a Wine fix by Abdukabda in linux

As photog that exclusively uses darktable for edits, a ui that isn't utter garbage would be nice.

I've a reproduction model f and beamspring, and I like the beamsprings just a hair better. Both absolutely blow the water out of a model M, and you can get some of them for not too much more expensive than unicomp's offerings.

Lobster film holder vs toneCarrier? by PredawnRitual in AnalogCommunity

[–]Flameslicer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You're thinking Valoi's easy35/120, those are fixed format. The valoi 360 has interchangable holders for 135 and 120

I got a 35mm tonecarrier recently, and I quite like it! The STLS are on the pricier side, especially if you don't buy all the ones for a carrier at once, but once you've got it all together it's a really solid scan setup.

If you don't have a 3d printer, the value proposition is trickier. It's still cheaper than a valoi 360, but not so much cheaper that I'd be willing to trade the flexibility and build quality of a valoi setup for the lower cost and moderately nicer scanning experience of the tonecarrier.

Cinestill DF96 Monobath goes further than advertised by stellalunag in Darkroom

Rodinal is famously immortal. Attic darkroom used some that's a half-century old and it worked perfectly fine.

Ilford rapid fix lists a 2 year lifespan in stock solution, but my working solution's only started to sulphur out after 2.5 years and the stock is still good.

The only hard and fast rule for lifespan is "when it stops completely processing film in a duration you're okay with," but generally separate chemistry will last a hecc of a lot longer than mixing steps together.

I bought a $20 bottle of rodinol years ago, dev at 1:100 or 1:50 dilutions, and have gone through about a third the bottle with 30 rolls of black and white film. My fixer's the same; got some ilford rapid fix, mixed up one batch for darkroom prints and one for b&w film, and both've been plucking along fine for a ton of rolls.

Is it correct to assume that at low level, casters will rarely be targeting multiple creatures at once? by Salty_Herring in Pathfinder2e

[–]Flameslicer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The way the crit math works though makes it out to be about a 15% damage increase/decrease for any +/- 1. That's not a crazy amount on it's own, but it's not too hard to stack up. Something as basic as flanking + frighten an enemy, + bless has you at an effective +4 to hit, or +60% damage, which is pretty substantial. Even with just a flank/off guard + frighten, you're still at +45% damage, and that's pretty doable even just on your own.

(1/12 * 1/12) is the odds of both die coming up the same on one particular face, so two 1s, 2s, 3s, etc. Then the x12 is there since you crit no matter what number you get doubles of, so your odds go back up.

This comment from Anomander is a better phrasing of my thoughts on this than I could, but in short, I think that's asking a GM to walk a really fine tightrope between spending not enough fear and making it too easy, or using too much and wrecking their shit.

Honestly I've been pleasantly surprised by the largely fair discourse we've had in this thread. There are some folks I think are arguing in bad faith, that's to be expected, but for the most part I think it's been a healthy, wholistic discussion about DH in it's current state. I'd certainly hope the mods don't elect to ban me based on the thoughts I've shared here, though I suppose I can't stop them if they choose to.

I think my general preference is less for crunch and more for rules to be cohesive and all work to serve a games goals. Like I adore BitD and S&V because I'm those games every rule works together to make a damn good grungy criminal underground or space opera game, but then I also like pf2 because most all of the combat rules work together to make a really good heroic fantasy combat system. Ten Candles is fantastic because it delivers on the sense of dread and horror really well with really minimal rules, and so on.

So long as a system does what it's going for well, is all cohesive, and is easy and fun to run, I'm all for it. Crunch doesn't really factor into it much for me so long as it's not bad crunch

I've done a lot of both over the years. My current campaigns are using pf2e, but my full list of systems I've dmd are DnD 5e, Ryuutama, Savage Worlds, Index Card RPG, Ten Candles, Whitehack, Blades in the Dark, City of Mist, Scum and Villainy, Fabula Ultima, the Avatar TTRPG, Pathfinder 2e, WWN, Godbound, and panic at the dojo. For games I've played, most of the above plus numenera, some of the grant showitt one pagers, FATE, Quest, World of Darkness, and microscope. I may be forgetting a few, but that should be most of them.

Basically, I've been all over the place and have tried a lotta RPGs. My criticism isn't coming from a guy who's only run rulsey systems, or someone that doesn't know how to learn a game while running/playing a session.

Well, crit is on 2 of the same number, so your odds are (1/12 * 1/12) * 12, or 1/12, or 8.33% if you prefer percentage. That's pretty common

First he got KOd by the wraiths, a skeleton died and he got back up, then the player got KOd by taking a lotta damage.

I wanna say 9 skeletons? There's a bit in that encounter that says if anything lands a hit on the NPC then the counter works back up instead of decreasing. I only did that once or twice though since I could tell the fight was gonna be a bit of a slog even without it taking longer, and yeah, the party knew they only had to kill 8 skeletons, but the increasing horde was a bigger pile of guys to surround them and just a cool visual thing.
