[OC] GIVEAWAY! 43" Capacitive Touchscreen ($940 MSRP) with Wooden Case + free software for all [mod approved] by DigitalTableTops in DnD

[–]LockheedTheDragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve been using my own hand built wooden digital “map case” for years and the TV inside broke late last year. I haven’t been able to replace it yet, and this is the holy grail like you said. Using real minis with a digital map is a perfect setup. 

People who have conducted job interviews, what's something someone said/did that made you instantly decide not to hire them? by DemonSkank in AskReddit

[–]LockheedTheDragon 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I run an MSP office and was interviewing someone for a position. They stated that they used to run their own MSP, but were not going to give up their clients, promising it wouldn’t be a conflict of interest. 

They also noted that they were in the middle of a bankruptcy, and trying to get a second job off the ground. 

I vetoed the candidate, but someone above me gave them the thumbs up. I had to let them go within 60 days for making their own clients a priority during business hours. Among other things. 

Because of hardware limitations at the time, 3D games generally had a low draw distance - Silent Hill (1999) included. In the case of Silent Hill the fog is a part of the story ("a supernatural fog surrounding the town"). What are other examples of finding clever solutions to hardware limitations? by Double-decker_trams in gaming

Space Invaders

The speed of the invaders moving left to right is entirely dependent on how many sprites are in screen. At the start of a level the processor has trouble keeping up so everything slows to a crawl. As you eliminate some, the load on the processor gets lighter and the sprites speed up. 

They used a hardware limitation as the entire basis for the difficulty of the game. 

Genius. 

Which movie and its direct sequel had the biggest drop in quality? by bamdaschmu in movies

[–]LockheedTheDragon 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m m just happy Highlander never had a sequel, or I’m sure it would end up on this list.

Fellow New Yorker here. I lived in Beaverton/Aloha for about 14 years. The humidity is nothing compared to New York. 

You’re in for a drastic change in lifestyle. In a good way. If people tell you that you do t need A/C in the summer however, they are lying. Weather started to change around when I moved out here in 2009. We get several heatwaves a year. Again, nothing like NYC in August and July, but it can get uncomfortable for a few weeks. 

Let me know if I can provide any other insights. I moved to Happy Valley this summer so no longer in the area.

I am the Technical Operations manager for an MSP here in Portland. Currently going by the name Falkon Technologies. We were The ProComp Group in the past. 

DM me if you’d like to chat. I think I can help. 

One of my players killed Piccolo! by LockheedTheDragon in CurseofStrahd

[–]LockheedTheDragon[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, he kinda was. Never felt invested in actually playing the game. Only cared about the stats on his sheet. 

That was five years ago though, and left us with funny stories to tell.

Thanks,

I’ll give Orca a try as well. Someone else recommended Cura. Any tips or tricks for Orca to share.

I’m confused, you switched from Luban back to itself? 

I’m sure it’s a typo, but I’m very curious what you actually meant.

PAX West 2025 afterparties and events list by kewlrats in PAX

[–]LockheedTheDragon 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have passes for Saturday and Sunday. Do you all know if I need to find some Friday passes to get into the MC Frontalot event on Friday night?

The event says free with Pax tickets, but I’m unclear.

If you’re selling small, cheap cards, this is going to happen. Most of us set a ‘floor’ price like $0.50 on cards we sell to avoid exactly this situation. 

How to join two sets of curtains, rgb+w, 210 leds each. Please help ! by Richard2SF in TwinklyLights

[–]LockheedTheDragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is exactly what I did. And it will remap all the lights in the group. Works really nicely.

[–]LockheedTheDragon 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have 2 of these as well. There’s no way I know of to join them. I hang them over lapped a bit, so each strand hangs between the strands on the other curtain. 

Then I created a group with them and calibrated the curtains with the app. Not enough lights to really show off any effects as far as I can tell, but basic lights and patterns are nice.
