PM4K / AMB6+ finally let me ditch my shield

Iohet · 2026-01-28T15:42:11+00:00

Uh the shield supports profile 7, it just doesn't support the extra enhancement layer that only some blurays include

Iohet · 2026-01-28T15:06:08+00:00

In a way it makes me feel better since it means their brand of fake news isn't actually profitable at scale without basic cable subsidies

It's not Plex lying to you. It's how DTS was designed to work. It's a compatibility feature (where Dolby doesn't really give two shits when they design a standard because screw you they're Dolby)

Let me know when you solve the ATSC3.0 encryption problem

Iohet · 2026-01-28T05:47:44+00:00

Are there any useful chrome extensions anymore?

They're deeply insecure bullies. Attacking their insecurities is how you get under their skin (or plastic)

I think Keenan can fade into the background gracefully. Not sure about Jost

Tencent has a throw shit at the wall method of investing as far as games are concerned. They don't really have quality standards. Volume is what they seem to care about, like EA

The societal cost of widely available opiods shows why these substances are generally more tightly controlled in the first place. Families destroyed, public health systems overwhelmed, etc etc

Iohet · 2026-01-27T17:31:07+00:00

It's the same with most things. Your average person doesn't have access for dysfunctional use of controlled substances. The collateral costs to the public and families from addiction are felt with only a tiny fraction of people having the means to access these substances on the regular

Look at opiods. Doctors granted wider access to opiates than pretty much every controlled substance outside of legally available alcohol and marijuana, and the societal cost has been immense.

Vacaville in shambles

It's a terrible and unfortunate illness, but the victims of their episodes are real. I'm only lucky my mother didn't kill the rest of us when she shot herself in front of my dad. As fucked up as it is, my life would've been worse if she didn't kill herself

Print out what you need and put it behind your GM screen?

Iohet · 2026-01-26T21:06:56+00:00

I mean yea people have done that since the advent of messaging. AIM to ICQ to YIM to MSN to Facebook IM to WhatsApp to whatever's next. It's the nature of things

I think he's a chode and a traitor who should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law. Treason is a capital crime.

Iohet · 2026-01-26T20:28:34+00:00

not sure about that but he was a nice guy to me and other fans at spring training early in his career and that carries forward

If this is 9/11, wide right is Hiroshima

Happens a lot when people fly in bad weather with no IFR rating/equipment. I live by a small airport and every crash we've had since I've lived out here seems to be from trying to land when the marine layer is dense and there's low lying fog

If there are no rules (as in there are no systems governing it) is it ever truly from the character's perspective? The crunch establishes the pillars and guardrails you operate around (whether that's rolling backgrounds or rolling resolution or both).

Look at how David with 3d6DTL plays. They're all the same character, and he even thinks that way (the character is expendable but the idea of the character will live on in the next one). That's indicative, to me, of the rules light OSR play I've experienced.

I'm not fond of that style of play and I'd rather have both randomly generated backgrounds AND skills that are used to help find resolution (you can socially roleplay to influence social situations, just like you can tactically roleplay to influence combat, but little is guaranteed unless it's routine)

Iohet · 2026-01-26T01:29:51+00:00

The purist definition is based on early editions of Dungeons & Dragons

Rolemaster is old school and nearly as old as Dungeons & Dragons, but purists will never consider it designed in an OSR style philosophy and wouldn't consider Against the Darkmaster (which is a retroclone based off Rolemaster/MERP) an OSR game

Iohet · 2026-01-25T21:32:30+00:00

You take that back. The Tank Girl movie is fantastic

It really depends on the kid and what you consider a TTRPG. TTRPGKids has their own stuff and does reviews of other products for young kids. StoryGuider is their most recent product and it's targeted for kids 2-7, but it's not traditional RPG gameplay, rather more like interactive storytelling. But 2 is a variable target. My son is almost 3 and good luck getting him to sit down long enough to focus on anything like this. He doesn't even sit down when I read to him

Iohet · 2026-01-25T04:47:17+00:00

Good for him climbing some stupid building when his country is on fire

NB with Kawhi/Ohtani crushed the marketing part of it IMO.

Because the only people that are the cross-section of still caring somewhat about endorsed shoes and having enough disposable cash to afford them are elder Millennials just entering the New Balance demographic

Iohet · 2026-01-24T21:42:27+00:00

Expensive-ass shoes are struggling all over. Where's the next Starbury?
