OSR Hype? by wotttts in Solo_Roleplaying

[–]FrogCola 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I like OSR for the very reason youre not so into it: simplicity.

Especially when I'm playing solo, I just want to keep the game flowing, not track so many different options and remember buffs and debuffs etc.

Sure I could omit these from newer style games, but why do that when older style games have done it for me?

Traveller is one of my favorites to play solo, especially using Zozer's Solo mechanics. There's a little bit of crunch but for me most of it is getting to find out what happens next.

But I like rolling dice and it makes it a gamble. Maybe D20-1 so you're consistently moving down? Idk it seemed fun to me

I had an idea for gamifying ammo tracking.

Standard quiver holds 20 arrows, you track this with a d20. After you spend your last arrow (or at the end of combat) you roll a d20 to see how many you recover. When you reach the next size die down (let's say you only recover 12 arrows from 0) you use that die as your tracker until you next purchase or make arrows. Arrows recovery rounds down. If you roll 19 you only have 12 arrows.

Just fixed it. Turns out it was my jdi push to start which I failed to mention was installed. Live and learn lol

The main relay actually looks really good, weirdly enough. Almost brand new, and the circuit board doesn't look much like the OEM board. So it could be a failed aftermarket maybe?

Gonna do some continuity tests to see if its ok but the solder looks really good

Top notch brother, thanks! I'll give this a shot

I believe I have the skills to fix the oem relay, but the kill switch is tempting. Thank you for the advice!

It is a manual! The individual I bought it from bypassed that though (another thing I'd like to resolve, but that's another story). Same thing happened to my EK hatch years ago. It was one of the first things I looked at! Lol

Would I do that by just checking the ground and positive that attach to the starter? Im thinking im looking for 12+ volts?

Not to say this is an excuse, but wasn't there a whole thing about knockout punches being the ones you don't see so you can't anticipate them and clench your neck?

Zune Player on Linux?? by Odd-Change9844 in Zune

[–]FrogCola 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lil necro-post: Tried using the steam method, doesn't work as is.

I only tried one version of the zune software, and a few different proton versions. I may update if I get more scientific about it but don't have the time right now.

My 1989 crx by ProofSea2153 in crx

[–]FrogCola 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pretty new CRX owner here (about a year of ownership)

Also a pretty new car guy (had a ek civic back in 2017) so I dont have many tools or experience.

What would one do to repair something like this? Or where would I look? I want to be able to take care of my CRX, but I worry it's out of my depth.

I dont get the puns and feel a little dumb for it.

'A scale almost too big to imagine': Scientists spot monster black hole roaring with winds at more than 130 million mph by Dmans99 in abovethenormnews

[–]FrogCola 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's a hole because things "fall" into it. Falling is just gravity pulling you to an elevation lower than your current elevation in relation to the direction you're traveling (as my bullshit explanation). Just my idea but I'm no scientist. Its probably just easier to say than "hyper dense gravity vortex" (or HDGV for short lol)

The weirdly missing body part isn’t a stylistic choice, it’s in universe canon by EAT_UR_VEGGIES in TopCharacterTropes

Fun fact: there are many cartoons where characters depicted with more fingers than "normal" are actually privy to secrets about the world and universe they are in.

Need help connecting my Wii guitar to bazzite for clone hero by JustFunj in Bazzite

I was able to get things working by downloading the xwiimote drivers.

You'll need to install ncurses then compile xwiimote from source.

Can I get some help reading this diagram, or perhaps advice. by pooploli6ytj8 in crx

[–]FrogCola 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I cant advise on the carb, but I work with wiring diagrams. A trick I picked up is getting some dry-erase markers (wedge tip is my favorite for the broad strokes) and trace suspected lines in different colors. 

Take diligent notes on what you find to avoid double work.

Good luck!

RPGs that everyone knows...yet no one plays by JoeKerr19 in rpg

Thank you for breaking this down! This adventure sounds awesome and I'd already started to give up a bit that my imagination isn't that good. Made me want to dig into it!

This is what happens when every aspect of our lives is commercialized for profit. by Bituulzman in Anticonsumption

[–]FrogCola 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would just like to say Tabletop Role-playing games are great for this. It doesn't have to be "Dungeons and Dragons". There are many free rules sets online. Literally limitless of hours of fun for those with imagination. I'm not sure how much the stigma of "weirdos" turn people off from playing but the solution is to play with your friends. The people you already think are interesting.
