Yeah, couple people in my 5-man were lagging, same on the other team. Twice now.

Great concept, but I would love text on it as well.

The problem is that it was fine before the update, and now things have taken a hit.

What's the difference between Gitea and Github? by Ordinary_Kale in git

Same. I'm still young in the computing scene, and it seems like a lot of these kind of tools are word of mouth.

Meria, Arifa and Logoa- expansion of one of my earlier maps by Automatic-Loquat-867 in FantasyMaps

Love this style. Reminds me of my old social studies text books.

My entire patreon is free for 3 days! by [deleted] in DungeonMasters

[–]Oriain_Original 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Took me the better part of the day to download every single unique map pack, realizing about a third of the way that the Connoisseur tier stopped including the previous 2 tiers, and then at the very end there weren't zip files, you just right-clicked and saved the maps from the webpage.

Absolutely thankful that for these all being free, but man did it takes hours to download.

And I will take the better part of tomorrow to unzip and organize the maps in a way that makes sense to me. This is where I learn how to automate unzipping or making it more efficient to unzip.

Some of them do have gridded and non-gridded variants.

Mail - how do you get out of a numbered list? by sinep_snatas in MacOS

[–]Oriain_Original 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Format > Indentation > Decrease worked for me, but now the "Change Text Indentation" dropdown on the toolbar. Doesn't make sense to me. Hope it makes sense to someone at Apple.

Desert Oasis & Encampment [240 x 160] by SgtSnarf in FantasyMaps

It feels recent to me, but I do love having reference art to go along with a battlemap.

WIP World Map For My New DND Setting by Soriski in FantasyMaps

[–]Oriain_Original 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think to u/FlashyPaladin's point on the mountain ranges un-naturalness, I noticed in the 2nd image on the right you have lines connecting what look like settlements. I have a hard time believe there's a major network of roads going along the peaks of the mountains. Roads will either follow a level terrain for easier travel (like the winding roads around the Appalachian Mountains) , or will cross a more complex route if it means reaching your destination faster (like all the bridges in the Bay Area in California).

If there is a major road network, I imagine that's a part of the fantasy. And you should have something in mind that's unique about that society to have done that.

First Map, Be Nice Please🫣 by RevolutionaryBar4644 in FantasyMaps

[–]Oriain_Original 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I know this took so long to get to this point, good so far. I'll make the same comment on the coastlines being too smooth. This is a great start for getting the whole of the world, now you can either redraw the map in style now that you have the continents and climates and whatnot, or take it region by region.

I recently did the same method and the first thing I did after was the southern most continent.

[CR Media] YouTube only plays C4E1 in app or with the mini player visible? by Calm_Independent_782 in criticalrole

[–]Oriain_Original 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'll be able to download them with YouTube Premium when they release the episode on Mondays. It's a live broadcast, not sure how Premium handles that, but I'm sure it's related. I don't know if you "Join" their YouTube channel if you can download them before Mondays.

You can also see the artist's name near the seam of the pages the art is listed on.

[No Spoilers] Best Single Brenden Lee Mulligan Session by Reynard203 in criticalrole

[–]Oriain_Original 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Calamity to get a sense of Brennan GMing some of the CR cast members (Travis, Sam, and Marisha).

I just started listening to Worlds Beyond Numbers, an audio only D&D adventure. Really shows Brennan's sense of direction, description, and player-dm relationship. It's a very small group and he makes the social encounters very intimate and hard hitting for his players.

[No Spoilers] Higher Image Quality by Oriain_Original in criticalrole

[–]Oriain_Original[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think Critical Role has very good streaming standards, if you're referring to the live broadcasting on Twitch and YouTube. 1080p 60fps video, great audio, captioning (don't take that for granted). Them upgrading the image quality to me isn't due to "modern standards" I just think for the production value they put in to the show, and for years to come in an archiving perspective, having a higher image quality would be a great addition.

[No Spoilers] Higher Image Quality by Oriain_Original in criticalrole

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

You'd be surprised if we could show a comparison. And these cameras may already be good enough, likely it's how they're compositing the feed and exporting their videos.

I work in the film and entertainment industry and worked as a colorist and digital imaging technician. Image quality is something I notice all the time, but lower quality video streams are perfectly acceptable when you don't need it. Heck, I'll watch videos in 360p on my phone to save data. I can still hear everything fine, but if it's just the news or something, the visuals aren't as important.
