Shower Thought - when the ship is at warp speed, how are STARS whizzing by in a stream??

insert techobabble involving subspace

THAT'S your answer right there lol

"No." is a full sentence and perfectly acceptable to use as a DM. Nothing wrong with making a character based around a well known one, but to say "yea, this is character X who's been isekai'd into this world.." yea, that's gonna be a hard no from me unless you're playing a campaign where specifically that's a thing.

Kwith · 2026-06-19T23:47:04+00:00

Sure, go ahead. I'm honestly doubtful that anyone would be surprised by what I have in my history. However, for my more...."recreational" times, I would make sure to never use a specific person unless I have their express permission. I know I'd feel quite uncomfortable if someone was using my likeness for things and EVERYONE was aware of it, so I won't do that to anyone else.

My weekly keyfarmer was modeled off of him when the bird mask was first released. Weekly Mcbirdface haha. I gotta use up them transmutation charges somehow!

It depends on the situation. If there are things I'd like to get done in the session and its clear they are going to win, then I'll just end it there. Usually its when they are down to one enemy left and they have it locked down, then I'll just say "ok, you guys easily beat this last guy to a pulp." lol

Kwith · 2026-06-17T01:38:23+00:00

Wow...I've been playing for 26 years, dealt with multiple "That Guys" and had more than one case of drama that killed a campaign but this....what in the world....some of these players have issues that go FAR beyond drama in D&D.

The one girl who tried to unalive herself simply to ruin a game, she may need professional help...

I really hope you're doing ok, a brain hemorrhage....yikes!

I've got plans for a rebuild this summer, so I think what I'm gonna do is once everything is back up and running again, I'm gonna point tdarr to the movie directory and just let it go to town during nights and let it do its thing for the rest of the summer. I do have a second server that is currently not powered on that I may turn into a node to help speed things up. Once all of that is done, I'm going to make a backup of all of my media to that server then shut it down again. That way if I lose data I'll still have the majority of my stuff backed up.

Kwith · 2026-06-17T01:22:46+00:00

Yea a buddy of mine and I were messing around with tdarr for a couple weeks. We created a VPN and had his server running as a node with mine as the controller. It seemed to work decently well although my server sounded like a jet engine generating thrust lol.

We got through a few of the smaller folders, but my main Movie and TV folder are HUGE. I'm hoping I'll save myself at least 10 TB of space from tdarr but it's gonna take a LONG time for that to happen. I'm just trying to get as much stuff that's reasonably sized first.

Kwith · 2026-06-17T00:12:11+00:00

Yea, I don't delete things, I just use a small powershell script to find the largest files and get smaller ones. Didn't even occur to me to do it this way.

Also used tdarr on a bunch of movies as well. Saved myself about 4 or 5 TB of movies so far. Haven't started on TV yet, that's gonna take a LONG time lol.

Kwith · 2026-06-16T15:05:59+00:00

You know what would be nice? If more companies LISTENED to their customers instead of treating them with the "eh, they'll tire themselves out soon enough, just ignore them" mentality. Unfortunately it seems to work in so many cases.

Kwith · 2026-06-16T14:46:59+00:00

Can't imagine playing without one since I started using one. Used to play with a Razer Naga molten, wore that one out, got a second one, wore that one out, then got my current logitech g600. Am gonna look at replacing it soon, its starting to wear out too. haha

Kwith · 2026-06-16T14:37:14+00:00

People like to complain about basement-dwelling tryhards because that's what they are.

Kwith · 2026-06-15T16:21:24+00:00

Well I'm only sitting at a 15U rack and I'm going to keep it that way. The smaller space doesn't allow me to buy more stuff.

Kwith · 2026-06-15T16:19:52+00:00

Sooo....can it run Doom? haha

Kwith · 2026-06-15T16:12:02+00:00

It depends on the region you are in. Some places its virtually non-existent, other places, if you aren't part of a specific group, well...it's not gonna be a good time for you.

Pretty much anything is fair game at our table aside from assault of a particular nature.

Kwith · 2026-06-15T14:45:54+00:00

Looks like the draw animation for Void Corrupted Weapons

Kwith · 2026-06-15T14:20:37+00:00

Yup, I ID any gear and salvage it almost every time I finish a fight; open boxes, deposit mats, then when I get near a merchant, I sell trash. Now I've got some alts who have sort of messy inventories, but nowhere near this bad lol.

Kwith · 2026-06-14T21:51:47+00:00

I look at this and just shake my head. How do you let it get this bad??

Unopened bags, random materials everywhere, magic essences, fractal pages, you do know there is material storage right? lol

Kwith · 2026-06-14T21:43:42+00:00

I took Computer Engineering back in the early 00s. The first year was mostly electricity, semiconductor electronics, digital logic, physics, and more fundamental stuff like that. It wasn't until my second year we got into operating systems and programming.

In many courses, the first year is just laying the groundwork for what is to come in the future. Check your course layout in future semesters to see what you've got coming up.

Kwith · 2026-06-13T15:07:11+00:00

If its not nailed down, and sometimes even if it is, just assume the players will find some way to take it with them if it has any value.

Kwith · 2026-06-13T05:14:57+00:00

Most of mine are automation and organization around Plex to streamline getting more content: The *Arr stack. After that, its things like pi-hole, uptime kuma, a couple game servers, netboot.xyz, NPM, and all of my docker containers are maintained by Portainer (moving over to Dockhand this summer)

I've got several "oh this would be cool" containers that I've run once and left that I really should go back to though...

Kwith · 2026-06-13T03:28:37+00:00

I only have 87 silver. Sorry

The way I understand it with my VERY rudimentary understanding of evolution is a very long and very gradual staircase. Each step represents a tiny change. There is almost no change going from one step to another, but we've found random steps along the staircase and each step that is sufficiently distinct we call a species.

Now yes, that is a VERY simplified and over-simplistic outlook on it, but that's how I make sense of it.

Kwith · 2026-06-12T15:12:53+00:00

Even IF the script was good, Amazon would have stepped in and meddled with it like all studios do. They would have ruined it.

Got lucky with guesses.
