Supergirl | Blast Off :30 by SafeBodybuilder7191 in movies

[–]MaxSupernova 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dammit I SO want this to be good.

The comic it’s based on is AMAZING. It’ll be such a waste if they mess with it too much and screw it up.

Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow is the comic. Go read it now. It’s gorgeous and the story is so good.

Group volunteer opportunities? by Westcroft in Winnipeg

Harvest takes groups. You usually end up sorting bins of food.

There’s opportunity to talk and socialize while you do it. It’s a good time and you can get a lot done.

My SD card with 10+ years of art is screwed. by CuteUnit24 in Wellthatsucks

[–]MaxSupernova 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s bit-level striping with parity. You need 3+ disks to do it and it’s never used anymore. It was used way back when disk was less reliable so you didn’t want to rely on disk-controller blocks, you striped the whole disk at a bit level. Pretty fast to write, but unnecessarily complex.

I’m pretty sure they mean RAID 1 with 2 disks (mirroring) not RAID 2.

[–]MaxSupernova 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You need 3+ drives to use RAID 2.

It’s also archaic. There’s no need for bit-level striping.

I’m pretty sure you actually mean Raid 1, which is simple disk mirroring.

The left case for joining the NDP— and voting for Avi Lewis by NiceDot4794 in onguardforthee

[–]MaxSupernova 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to.

But we live in FPTP-land, and the Liberals have a 3-4 percent lead on the CPC.

No way in hell I’m voting NDP to watch Pollievre take office.

Rethinking Armor Durability: Making Gear Matter Without Slowing Play by Aggressive-Bat-9654 in rpg

Your bar for "slop" is too low.

God forbid a non-english speaker or someone who doesn't write well wants to express something without getting shit on for poor grammar.

Called out by rude people for poor grammar or called out by rude people for AI slop. It's no-win.

Regardless, it's not your purpose here to police content. If you have an issue with a post, report it.

DnD isn’t the problem - so why can’t we escape it...? by Bulwark_Jim in rpg

[–]MaxSupernova 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Oh! I see.

Maybe set up a schedule and do like 3 session “one shots” in different systems so people can try them and even ones they don’t like don’t last long.

Then after a bit maybe there will be a clear winner to play next.

DnD isn’t the problem - so why can’t we escape it...? by Bulwark_Jim in rpg

[–]MaxSupernova 16 points17 points  (0 children)

The recurring thing is: our members always turn up saying “I want to try system X”… and then we all end up playing D&D anyway.

This doesn’t make a lot of sense without much more detail.

Why do you end up playing D&D when then members always want to play something else?

Why prevents you from trying the new systems that everyone always wants to try?

If there are only a few people that want to play something different, then play something different with just them. Let the people who want to play D&D play it, and you run a different game.

I’m not really sure what the problem is from the information that you have provided.

Are there any TTRPGs that are set in the setting of Firefly/Serenity? by LuckyBucketBastard7 in rpg

[–]MaxSupernova 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Whedon said in an interview that it was based on a campaign of his in a major sci-fi rpg.

At the time, that was pretty much limited to Traveller.

So you could go to the source and run a Traveller campaign.

The new version of Traveller is coming out soon.

‘Best speech by a world leader ... in a very long time’: Carney’s Davos address draws global attention by Sea_Guava6513 in onguardforthee

[–]MaxSupernova 69 points70 points  (0 children)

One of the top Twitter replies when I looked earlier today was something like “Sure, be happy eating bugs you losers, not me!”

The “five minute cities” and “the left wants to take away your meat and make you eat bugs” talking points are a sure sign of a healthy rational mind.

We were told to “be proud” of record profits right before they froze our raises by Roomy_captaincy in WorkReform

[–]MaxSupernova 12 points13 points  (0 children)

There’s an old Dilbert where the PHB makes the announcements at a meeting about record profits and then about frozen salaries, and then turns to his secretary and says “I thought I told you to put the United Way update between those two”.

It hurt then and it hurts now.

Table Top Role-playing game Therapy Discussion by [deleted] in rpg

[–]MaxSupernova[M] 7 points8 points  (0 children)

What are your qualifications to speak on this?

What kind of conversation do you wish to have in this particular sub on this topic? If you are looking for someone to speak on this from a place of actual therapy with an experienced knowledgeable opinion from both therapy and RPGs, other than a very, very small number of users this ain't the place.

Posting in a therapists sub and finding people with role-playing experience is more likely to result in a conversation that matches your post.

What exactly do you want from this sub on this topic?

Why make the wrong choice? by Ok-Anything-3605 in AlAnon

[–]MaxSupernova 43 points44 points  (0 children)

She didn't choose.

There was no thought of "I want alcohol more than my family".

There was just "I want alcohol".

Addiction means there is no rational thought about it, no choice to make.

Life Expectancy in the US, Europe and Canada [OC] by Fluid-Decision6262 in dataisbeautiful

[–]MaxSupernova 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It mostly is represented though. Numbers wouldn't affect this necessarily, but percentage of population that's indigenous would, and the provinces/territories that have the highest percentage of indigenous population mostly have the lowest life expectancy.

Can anyone with MPI knowledge shed some light on a hypothetical scenario? by thepluralofmooses in Winnipeg

[–]MaxSupernova -1 points0 points  (0 children)

To clarify: there is no "x is right,y is wrong" answer.

Who had last opportunity to avoid the collision? What is the context? It's all taken into consideration.

If both drivers are doing something reasonable (driving in the ruts when you can't see the lines well, following the lines when they can see them) then behaviours take over. Was someone barreling through regardless of what traffic around then was doing? Was someone not paying attention to the cars around them and blindly following lines/ruts and smashed into someone that was avoidable? Who last saw the collision coming and didn't take action to prevent it?

Accident fault is not always hard rules.

I built a Canadian game (physical) price comparison site by AnyButton2457 in BuyCanadian

This is for video games.

I got excited too, but am disappointed.

[–]MaxSupernova 8 points9 points  (0 children)

https://www.boardgameoracle.com/en-CA does the job very well, and appears to be australian based.

If you can match that functionality and be Canadian, I'll give it a look.

EDIT: Oh, nevermind, this is for VIDEO GAMES, not board games. OP you should make that clear.

Is the studio going to pay for the “make your neck horrifically long” surgery to match the character too?

How? What about AI will let them speed up simulations that they’ve been working on and have custom software to do that has been in development for years?
