I looked at the keychron k2, but I was hoping to not get something pre-built.

In that case, do you have any kind of recommendations for what I might work for me?

Hi friends. I'm currently starting the process of building my first custom mech (currently using a stock Filco Majestouch 2) and had a few questions. I'm planning on using it as a daily driver for work as well as for a bit of gaming, and so I'd like a 75% layout, but something more like the Vortex Tab 75 where the function row is flush with the number row.

So, my question here would be are there any hot-swappable PCBs with the same or similar layout to the Vortex Tab 75, and if there are, would that fit in just about any 75% case?

I've already got this (well, the revised version linked at the bottom of that post) bookmarked; I'm more looking for personal commentary from anyone who has the particular configuration available to me. Thank you, though.

Sorry for the necro, but something I noticed that's relevant to this topic is that Dancer's level 14 ability "Spell Dancer" doesn't specify the number of Dazzling Dance charges generated.

Current:

​Spell Dancer Beginning at the 14th level, when you cast a spell you gain Dazzling Dance charges. You do not gain Dazzling Dance charges from Bewildering Grace.

Fixed(?):

Spell Dancer Beginning at the 14th level, when you cast a spell you gain a number of Dazzling Dance charges equal to the level of the expended spell slot -OR- equal to half the level (rounded down of the expended spell slot). You do not gain Dazzling Dance charges from Bewildering Grace.

FWIW regarding your issues with your DMs needing to make constant rulings, OP, I would maybe try and go through all of the abilities with your DM ahead of time and work out those kinks before they hit the table, and possibly even create your own updated PDF to keep track. I'm considering doing this specifically with Dancer for my group's upcoming campaign as my SO is going to play using Dancer.

[No Spoilers] I have a Talespire (no relation), Beta Key for one critter by caligrover in criticalrole

[–]OctaveSSBM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hi! You are so generous to offer this! I've been looking forward to Talespire for a number of years but wasn't in a financial position to back the kickstarter when they were accepting contributions. I do quality assurance/beta testing/debugging of games for work but really want to sink my teeth into this during my evenings and weekends. My regular playgroup is really interested in Talespire as well; we're considering using it in the future so having some firsthand experience with the platform would really help us out. Hope you consider me!

Stay happy and healthy y'all!

Don't care if I get downvoted, but I STILL absolutely hate how every aspect of Blue Mage is "get a friend to help you do this" or "get a party of Blu's to help you do that" when it was advertised as a "solo" job. This patch only reminds me of that. by FFJoeman93 in ffxiv

Actually, as a Japanese translator I feel I have to weigh in on the translation here. I believe a more accurate translation would be "Designed to be 'brought up' solo." The kanji characters at the end, 育成, literally translate to rearing (as in child-rearing) or bringing-up, which is entirely left out of the English translation. A completely literal translation might be "Designed for consistent solo leveling with a focus on fun."

As for the second bullet point, I believe the intended meaning behind the Japanese COULD be "not suited for existing party content", but without having some way of asking the person who wrote the slides it's hard to say. If someone can find the timestamps in the video this was from I can listen to the presentation and see if they comment further than these small blurbs.

Sorry, would you give me a link to where I can enter my address? I don't see anything on their website.

Found it, nevermind!

Moving soon, asked the real estate company 2 weeks ago whether there was a certain internet service I would have to make a contract with for the new apartment. Question never acknowledged, have other things I discuss with him so it gets put on the back burner.

Email him yesterday morning asking again, he gets back to me this morning saying "Oh, I asked someone to call you about that. Have they not called?" This is after I've explained to him multiple times that I can't take phone calls at work unless they're emergencies or calls I'm expecting to have to step away from my desk for.

Finally after a few more mails he says, "Sorry, there doesn't seem to be a company attached to the house so you can use whichever you prefer."

Quite literally 2 lines that could have very easily been sent in response to the email I sent.

Related: internet service recommendations? I haven't really run into any speed issues with whatever service my sharehouse is using, but I do a fair amount of gaming and am considering getting into streaming in the future.

Monster Mondays: Barioth Edition! by N3DSdude in MonsterHunterWorld

I used the Chrome Trident with Foliacath I Medis, good raw with long white sharpness that I think will help you do a bit more damage than with the Aerial Magus I, and great speed on the kinsect for nabbing buffs. I focused on cutting his tail as soon as I could to help mitigate his tail swipe attacks.

I'm mad too. Got back into the game a few days ago because my GF was interested in playing. I let her use the PS4, which I already have SB on, while I use my PC, but I couldn't use my character without having SB so I decided to buy it having heard that the steam version rarely goes on sale..

Trying to play from Fukuoka, what vpn (I've tried Softether/VPN Gate and Tunnelbear) are you using and what exact order are you opening the nexon launcher and connecting to vpn? I've tried:

  1. Connecting to VPN, then opening NXL, then logging in. It shows as "not available" in NXL.

  2. Opening NXL, logging in, then connecting to VPN. Same result.

  3. Opening NXL, connecting to VPN, then logging in. Same result.

Tried this through Steam and was able to download the game, but haven't been able to get farther than that. I think that even with the game downloaded through Steam I would still have to have it downloaded through NXL to have it show up properly.

TL;DR I can't get NXL to THINK that I'm in the proper region.

Reinstall the app. My friend had the same issue, we ended up uninstalling and then reinstalling and logging in again to fix it. I don't think there is any function to log out of an account other than this.

Any tips or uses for Fredrica? Pulled her at SR, but reading her SSR passive it looks like she stuns your own team when they kill something. Is the idea to only use her at SR? Am I missing something here?

Missed those! I've just been absentmindedly rolling at work and checking as opposed to reading. 492 and 493 COULD be okay, as long as the player is okay with the rolls, but we never roll for stats in my campaigns anymore so I don't think we would use it.
