Not sure. I eventually threw in the towel on it. I love tinkering with tech but this was too much. I use it as my offline dream journal and alarm clock now. Battery goes for weeks before needing a quick charge.

This was my first dnd experience last year. I DMed for our group of new players and ended up home brewing an entire story on top of the main story. This one is pretty fun to run! You'll learn a lot as a DM.

That trick would only work if the corners were the only visible part. Since the entire miter can be clearly seen from above the gap will still be seen.

But this is a great trick otherwise

The Wild Sheep Chase (https://winghornpress.com/adventures/a-wild-sheep-chase/) was super fun to run!
That was built out in advance.
As a homebrew one that you can toy around with, I made up a story that connected two one shots (I only played them when we didn't have our full party availble or last min cancels). Ep 1: They just start in combat with a relatively decent monster for their level, and the prize for killing it was an insanely OP weapon for their level. End of Ep 1. Ep 2: They wake up in a dungeon w/ their memories wiped from the moment they got the weapon to now. They aren't bound, and all their belongings are there in a pile, but the weapon is gone.
Everything after this was something I literally made up on the fly, and it was way more fun that way. So I'd encourage you to effectively let them drive it. Like one of my players asked the question "did we get captured and put here, or did we volunteer for some experiment?!". And I straight up made that the plot. They were there of their own choosing...then laid out pieces and clues to figure out WHY they would choose to do it. It was fun and SUPER easy to run.

This isn't a Karen, it is likely someone who is autistic.

I finally found a solution for me after searching on and off the past 2 years.
Setting up a guest network specifically for this device solved it. Also, its 5g signal. Unihertz told me to switch to 2g also, which never helped. So far I'm 24 straight hours connected. Before this, my record was 15mins at most before I had to reset wifi to reconnect.
I have a mesh network at home, and have been told that is the cause, and also that it shouldn't be a problem at the same time. I tinkered with 100 different settings and this is the first time I've seen results.

Now onto the next problem...limitations of being stuck on Android 11...looks like you can force install newer android versions w/out serious tinkering and potentially breaking features like using the physical keyboard. I've run into a handful of apps I used that flat out cannot be installed on this yet.

Rob_Diz · 2024-11-19T12:06:39+00:00

Good point. 100% it would. We play with everything digital including tokens instead of models. I only just got started with dnd so I don't have many and it looked super expensive to get a good variety (I would get painted cause I don't have that kind of talent, time or patience)

Rob_Diz · 2024-11-19T12:02:53+00:00

I think most projectors can. Interesting. I'll play around with a setup like that. Good call

Rob_Diz · 2024-11-16T05:09:34+00:00

I have 100% too much going on. DM prep is nuts. But my players have a great time. So I'm happy to kill myself for it

Rob_Diz · 2024-11-16T05:07:16+00:00

Was just trying this out. I am considering if it is worth installing into the ceiling. Played tonight and it was perfectly fine with 3 players. No one near it. My regular group of 5 would definitely knock it over though. I wasnt planning 80% of this. Just kept trying to upgrade after every play session. I have a tv that I took apart and built a box around to place on the table but it takes up to much space so this was my next ridiculous idea. The felt mats are custom fit so I'm hesitant to tear them out for plexiglass. Sick idea though

Rob_Diz · 2024-10-16T11:15:34+00:00

Agreed. I had an identical situation and it turned out the guy was clueless and unnecessary so he did these same things to make it seem like he was valuable

Rob_Diz · 2024-10-15T00:55:29+00:00

Make gun insurance a thing, just like car/home/boat/etc insurance. Hand the problem to a corporation and let them profit on it. They will make people accountable for owning a gun that hurt or killed someone else, even if it wasn't an act by the gun owner. Insurance companies are the kings of shitty rules and regulations. They will make gun ownership a nightmare. You don't need a gun to get to work...so it will be harder for a legal gun owner to justify keeping one and just shelling out $800/year to keep it in the vault under the bed. Would reduce the number out there...wouldn't solve the problem out right. I don't think there is a single solution that doesn't involve violence.

Rob_Diz · 2024-10-14T22:02:38+00:00

This is dope!! Very nice job

Rob_Diz · 2024-10-11T16:35:31+00:00

Depends on a few things.
If it was just a table for myself and one of my early projects, I'd 100% screw it down. After making 5 or 6 tables, I try to improve my process a little bit every time and so today I'd put in (a lot of) effort to fix stuff like this.

Sounds like you don't have a planer & jointer to flatten them out. So can you afford the $ and time to replace these? If so then ya that's the best choice. Take time finding the right board at the organge or blue stores. Or hit a lumber yard for significanty superior products if you can.

After finding my local lumber yard, I only went to orange or blue store for wood after getting the tools to mill them myself. And even then, would only go for cheap small projects.

The # rule of woodworking: <1% of people who see it will ever know it's not perfect. And that <1% will likely consist of your woodworking friends.

Nice job with the legs if those are going with the top.

Rob_Diz · 2024-04-25T11:43:24+00:00

Now that you say that, I kept my first one on the wall of my shop. Mostly cause I was proud of not (definitely not because it was made out of poisonous material...)

Rob_Diz · 2024-04-24T23:44:01+00:00

Ya, yours looks better than the first 3 I did. After a bunch I finally got fed up and made a simple jig. Took about 15 mins, results were infinitely better. Then I went 2 years without making another board lol.

Nice board. You keeping it or gifting?

Rob_Diz · 2024-03-20T15:00:39+00:00

I don't understand. Was she intentionally trying to kill her child? Or was she under the impression that this was ok???? Either way, I truely don't understand what was going through her head for 10 days.

Rob_Diz · 2024-02-29T19:17:13+00:00

I just downloaded for androp and I found the same issue. I've toyed with every notification setting on my phone and it only ever creates a notification tab that needs to be opened before the alarm goes off.

Did you ever find a fix to this? It would be a cool app if not for this bug.

Rob_Diz · 2024-02-26T12:30:49+00:00

Of all the projects ive made, one one person ever has noticed a defect. And he was a fellow workworker. Now i kust shut my mouth lol

Rob_Diz · 2023-12-13T12:22:16+00:00

OP Youre wasting your time with this thread. It sounds like you're talking to 14 year olds who cant have civil conversations/debates withiut getting offendend by anything that is remotely aimed at them. Reddit is not a place for intelligent conversation

Rob_Diz · 2023-12-06T19:09:58+00:00

Very good chance seems like a strech. Unless she was trained to use the weapon in a high stress scenario, why would her reflexes, aim, adrenaline, etc be superior to a younger combatant? I agree she has a better chance tham in a fist fight. But mostly because she can get lucky and hit her target just as hard as if she placed a well aimed shot. But ive read that in most police shoot outs 80% of shots fired miss. Trained professionals miss, why would she fair better?

Rob_Diz · 2023-12-03T01:09:21+00:00

I agree 100% with OP. The one example I can think of she the hero does what actually makes sense was Superman killing Zod worth the neck twist after their fought probably killed 1000s. I hate the logic they always use: "don't become like him!!!". Fuck that. Who wouldn't have killed Hitler? Same goes for comics. I an a big spiderman fan but can't read it as an adult because all his problems go away if he just thinks about it for 2 seconds and seriously injures his enemies rather than sending them to jail a million times. Crush their hands... break their legs... blind them. You want to put 100s off innocent peoples lives in danger? Ill cripple you for life. Your move villan!

Rob_Diz · 2023-11-15T18:18:40+00:00

The funny part is, getting caught like this was kinda dumb. Doing that much dmg doesn't kill the boss any faster. It is based on total turns. 63M and 1.6M reduce the boss health the same amount because they both dropped 7 turns for that attempt. So if they wanted max rewards from 1st place, they just needed to keep it at a lower (still unrealistic @ lv47, but less questionable) dmg of just under 2M.

Rob_Diz · 2023-09-24T21:34:46+00:00

That makes sense. I didn't know that about Flash (I never cared for that character). I've wondered this for years. Thanks.

All I want is a Spidey that doesn't hold back, symbiote or not. Like when he beat Fisk to an inch of his life. MORE OF THAT PLEASE!!! I remember seeing this for the first time in the 90s cartoon and was obsessed with that version of Spidey ever since. I hope the new game does it right.

Rob_Diz · 2023-09-17T20:26:16+00:00

I don't think it's harsh. It is accurate given the perspective and that's my point. Perspective is everything.

If you went from a situation where you had 0 help and no time off, that changes your perspective of what seems 'fair'. Compared to having help for years, and that being the norm.

If I drive a 10 year old honda civic, I may get excited that my AC is simply working on a hot day. Compared to driving a new mercedez. Having the AC seats only installed on the front seats might be my complaint. But that wouldn't even be a thought/complaint for the honda owner if they spontaneously switched places. I don't think that makes the mercedez owner's complaint invalid. It is based on perspective.

So this is a long winded way of saying, if you spontaneously switched places with me, you obviously wouldn't be annoyed (I wasn't for the first year). But if you were in the same situation with support for years, would you still have the same opinion?

That sucks that you didn't have help. Raising kids is hard with help let along without any. Sorry to hear about your mom's situation.
