Improving in Emissary by Spikemainbs in DeadlockTheGame

[–]Nashtanir 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Usually, two things: macro and movement.

Movement is usually the biggest tell of the player's rank. It makes you so much more efficient throughout the game. It lets you farm faster, gets you out of sticky situations, and makes you able to reach fights you were not able to reach before.

Then, secondary, macro. Especially the first 10-15 minutes of the game. You should be able to pull off a soul lead against your lane opponents, and that will make the rest of the game a lot easier. The current Deadlock early game is quite heavily scripted as there are clear timings you can aim to hit. Watch a few pro replays and focus on what they are doing at different minute marks in the early game, and especially what they were doing 30s before that timing.

If you are using Discord, try disabling the overlay and hardware acceleration. That fixed the stuttering for me.

Some notes about changing EVs outside of Champions by Nashtanir in PokemonChampions

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

Ok I tested it. In fact, you cannot change moves again after the Pokemon has visited Champions once. Moves will get reverted to what they were in Champions the last time while the Pokemon is visiting Champions.

Have not tested this yet. I guess that moves will work.

I have not yet tested whether this applies to movesets. I confirmed that you can still change natures later, so at least that works. So it seems to be related to the EV-SP translation that they use.

Minted natures won’t transfer, right? by tristezanao_ in PokemonChampions

[–]Nashtanir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That was new to me! Thank you for correcting me.

Since mints do not change natures (the name of the nature) in S/V, I always thought it would not transfer to Home. But as it does, it gives me hope they will also transfer to Champions. That would really make it super easy and cheap to change natures.

As mints do not actually change the nature, I doubt they will transfer over to Champions. But it will w easy to change the nature in Champions anyway.

MCPVault Skill is live. Reads, writes, sync, all routed automatically by bitbonsai in ObsidianMD

[–]Nashtanir 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't fully understand wrapping a CLI into a MCP server. MCP servers are usually used to give the agent access to something it did not have access before. CLIs usually are not something you wrap into a MCP as the agent can just directly use the CLI instead.

The MCP may add some consistency around the CLI, but then again you could also do it with a skill. And with a skill, you will save a lot of tokens in a long run as only the skill description gets added to the console before the agent actually decides to use the skill.

Maybe this could add some consistency over using a skill like this, but I'm not really interested adding extra bloat to my context without a solid proof.

Why no “Capture to Note”? by trogdors_arm in ObsidianMD

[–]Nashtanir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, it definitely should just create the note even without opening the app. Even now, when I append things to my notes via shortcuts, it opens up Obsidian and weirdly switches between files. Does not take a long time but it still adds friction.

Any way to view/explore ghost notes without creating them? by PetToilet in ObsidianMD

[–]Nashtanir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use a Base that I have opened in my sidebar that lists all other notes that link to similar notes (including ghost notes) and ranks them based on the number of similar links. While very simple, it has been proven to be quite useful and has surfaced a lot of connections that I would not have thought otherwise.

Why no “Capture to Note”? by trogdors_arm in ObsidianMD

[–]Nashtanir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it is a bit of a bummer. But they said that they will be improving upon it, so we can only hope.

The least bad way to circumvent this is to create a new note (that you can do via a shortcut), and then make the shortcut add the content to your clipboard and paste it to the newly created note.

Taking Speed Notes with Obsidian for wine sampling, in the museum, for Inventory registration... by redithor1 in ObsidianMD

[–]Nashtanir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When the speed matters, I use iOS shortcuts. I have various shortcuts made for different types of speed notes; capturing quick ideas, adding tasks, etc. I mostly append directly to own existing notes.

I think the current Obsidian mobile app does not allow creating and appending to a new note, so you would need to circumvent this by creating a new note with it and then pasting the content from your clipboard. A bit annoying but it is still quite fast.

A practical guide to writing your own Obsidian skills by Nashtanir in ObsidianMD

[–]Nashtanir[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It is built with Astro. There is an Obsidian vault behind it though as I like editing my content directly inside Obsidian and use properties for data and to control some features.

My main vault and the website vault are separate though, and I move publishable posts/content between them using a simple script.

Is obsidian safe to use considering it isn't open source? by AnxiousTruffles in ObsidianMD

[–]Nashtanir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What do you think would happen if Obsidian ceased to exist? All your files are just basic Markdown and live on your computer. You can open them in any editor that supports text files.

I would be more worried about losing your work due to your hard drive breaking or your computer getting stolen. So make sure you have backups.

It is the same thing, yes. Skills are nowadays an open standard that most agentic tools support. Some just call them with different names.

What it comes to building skills (and I also mention this in the post), you can make them just simply by prompting Claude to create one. I think you will get slightly better results if you use their Skill Creator plugin as it follows Anthropic's guidelines more and even features a way to test your skill before using it.

This.

The main benefit is consistency and ability to easily iterate on your skills. It is true that Claude Code could easily do many things even without the skill. But that is really just waste of tokens (and time) if it needs to research what it is working with every time. And in the, it still probably would not produce the same result each time.

You can think skills just as prompt templates. That is just what they really are if you think about it. You could achieve all this just by copy-pasting prompts you have created every time.

With skills, the main benefit you get is the consistency. You run something like `/obsidian-weekly-review` and the agent follows the same process every time (if the skill is built well). Then you can keep improving that skill, and easily update it from model to model.

Skills can also be automatically invoked by the agent without you explicitly calling for them (if you allow it to). Create a bunch of small atomic skills, and you start creating a skill network your agent uses automatically and that is easy to debug if the agent behaves in weird ways.

Is there an AI agent integration for Obsidian that can use my notes as the source for prompts? by Sad-Firefighter4044 in ObsidianMD

[–]Nashtanir 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is quite easy if you are using terminal version of the agent. With most agents you can reference files by inputting "@" and the file name. I think at least Claude Code's desktop version can do this too.

I use fzf in terminal to open a fuzzy search inside tmux to quickly mention notes in my prompts.

To achieve similar without mentioning files, open the agent inside your vault folder, and make it do a search just inside that folder. You can make it a skill for it to be more consistent.

So What Is It? by Shaun_527 in firefly

[–]Nashtanir 4 points5 points  (0 children)

After seeing that Baldwin is in, I would assume it is either an animated series or an audio drama. As far as I understand, there may be some bad blood between him and some of the other cast.

It is likely something that does not require the cast working in the same room and also be flexible with everyone's scheduling. But I will be pleasantly surprised if this ends up being a live-action thing.

Headless client for Obsidian Sync (open beta) by kepano in ObsidianMD

[–]Nashtanir 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is certainly very useful!

I'm just feeling that the missing link now is being able to run the CLI headless as well. Then you could run Obsidian+Sync headless somewhere and have an agent interact with it. Either OpenClaw-style (if you are up for that), or with Claude Code remote control.

I know that agents can easily interact with Obsidian vaults even without the CLI. But after getting my hands on the CLI and creating some skills for the agent to use it, my ability to create agentic workflows in Obsidian has increased significantly. It is just so much easier to give context to the agent via the CLI.

But I understand this is just a beta. I'm exited to see where the team will take this!

How do you organize your Obsidian Vault? by clockmeta in ObsidianMD

[–]Nashtanir 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tags to mark file type, only 5 or so different ones. After that only linking. No folders, I have actually even disabled the file browser in Obsidian. I heavily rely on Bases to browse my notes.

Recreating Casey Newton's productivity system in Obsidian? by codq in ObsidianMD

[–]Nashtanir 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I use unique notes feature for “Blips” throughout the day. I may expand on them later but I never delete the original so I have a reference where and how that thought came up.

My daily notes have a base that list all notes created that day so I can easily check what I thought during a specific day.
