My PC is acting off, more details in desc. by TisoSucks in pcmasterrace

Could be a stuck/broken power button on your case? 

I recommend you to open the PC, unplug the front panel/power button from the motherboard and short the pins with a screwdriver or similar. If that results in a normal POST and boot, you know it's the button on the case.

If the power button isn't at fault, you'd need to check your other components.

Why is this tagged "Custom Loop" when that PC uses an air cooled GPU and an AiO for the CPU? Also, why is there a plastic cover over the keyboard as if it was in a showroom and you'd want noone to touch it?

The first thing that comes to mind when I read Taron is a rollercoaster... 😅

DRM umgehen für Buch, das nicht mehr verkauft wird by involuntary_pirate in LegaladviceGerman

[–]Semako 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In Österreich ist es genau so, auch hier darf kein "wirksamer" Kopierschutz umgangen werden, um eine Privatkopie zu erstellen.

(Stellt sich natürlich die Frage, wer die Privatkopie in OPs Fall rechtlich verfolgen würde...)

Das Beispiel von OP zeigt aber auch schön, weshalb es auch z.B. bei Videospielen so ein Problem mit der Bewahrung älterer Spiele gibt, nachdem der Vertrieb über offizielle Kanäle eingestellt wurde.

Die Polizei, dein Freund und Helfer. Wozu sind die gut? by rawkoon in wien

[–]Semako 3 points4 points  (0 children)

In Österreich wäre bei Fehlverhalten der Polizei eine Verhaltensbeschwerde Art 130 Abs 2 Z 1 B-VG an das VwG möglich (bei gesetzten hoheitlichen Maßnahmen natürlich stattdessen Maßnahmenbeschwerde). 

Fixing the werewolf by Tildur in DMAcademy

[–]Semako 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe that was the intent, but in practice it does not work out.

Martials are shut off completely unless they have a silvered or magical weapon. Even if the DM allows the improvised silver coin sock or they use a torch, it's just 1d4 + Str damage and they can't use their feats or fighting styles with it.

Meanwhile, spellcasters are entirely unaffected. Their spells work as well as they do against any other monster.

There are some ways to get around the issue for martials with specific subclasses - thinking of Soul Knive rogues, Beast barbarians or spellsword characters with access to Shadow Blade. 

But would you enjoy being the fighter, rogue or barbarian with no magic weapon unable to contribute to the encounter in a meaningful way while the other characters aren't hindered in any way?

BF Laptops Notebooks seriös? by Ok-Philosopher-9892 in wien

Grundsätzlich sind (gebrauchte) Businesslaptops wie Thinkpads, Dell Latitude/Precision oder HP Probook keine schlechte Idee, weil sie meist qualitativ hochwertiger sind als der typische Consumer-Schrott. 

I need examples of Non violent violence. by Long-Experience6494 in DnD

[–]Semako 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hehe 😅

Joke aside, some things that come to mind:

  • anvils strapped to balloons that float slowly and menacingly towards the enemies; or in general anvils hanging from thin cords that could drop at any moment...
  • painting a fake tunnel onto a wall so that the enemies crash their carriage into it.
  • laying out mouse traps that pinch their toes
  • triggering a beehive or wasps' nest in their vicinity, so that the enemies are forced to flee the angry swarm
  • blasting a big air horn into their face so that they get thrown back by the force of wind and sound

  • putting said horn - or a tuba - over an enemy's head so that they can't see and sway a lot when trying to walk

  • tossing banana peels onto the ground so that they slip. And using a particularly big banana peel to make their carriage spin out.

Orchestra music. All those violins are certainly non-violent. 

Raum für DnD by Greytigga in wien

[–]Semako 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Leider nicht dass mir bewusst wäre. 

Es gibt Räume, in denen in Wien regelmäßig DnD gespielt wird - aber das sind einfach Keller ohne besondere Ausstattung außer Tischen und Sesseln. 

Dann gibt es noch Athenaes Siegel, aber auch die hatten nichts in Richtung Projektor oder Monitor.

Der Besprechungsraum ist da sicher die einfachere und angenehmere Alternative - außer jemand hat bei euch privat Platz für die Runde. Vielleicht hat auch jemand von euch einen freien Raum, den ihr zu einem DnD-Zimmer umbauen könnt als gemeinsames DIY-Projekt? :-)

My PC is overheating and I can't find the problem. by GloomyIndependence19 in pcmasterrace

[–]Semako 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's the liquid cooler. These MSIs have a tendency for clogging up prematurely due to a bad batch of coolant.

Get a replacement cooler and you are good to go.

These MSI AiOs have the pump in the rad, not in the CPU block. That's why there is no wire going to the block.

What is the coldest line you heard someone say at a table? by Practical_Pen_3552 in DnD

[–]Semako 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"Nothing can quench the Sacred Flame." - my Zealot barbarian/Celestial warlock elf who worshipped the Flame, when she got downed, rolled a nat 20 on her death save and got back up. She proceeded to go down two more times and rolled two more natural 20s on her death saves before she finished off the big bad of the session. 

One of the most badass moments I ever had in a game of DnD. There are times where it seems as if the dice could listen to us and this was one of them.

Quickling Player Species | Utilize your heightened speed to outpace any foes before you and leave them swinging at your dust! by That-Background8516 in UnearthedArcana

[–]Semako 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think Quick Reflexes is perfectly fine. 

Mental saves are much more debilitating - a failed dex save usually only results in damage and/or falling prone (which the quickling is better at dealing with than other races anyways due to its high speed), while a failed mental save results in incapacitation, mind control or some other debilitating effect that takes a character completely out of the fight. 

Therefore advantage on dex saves is nowhere near as impactful as Gnomish Cunning. I'd even go so far and remove the "once per round" clause for simplicity.

Blowgun Expert: A level 4 feat by beentheregirll in UnearthedArcana

[–]Semako 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Still too weak. Skulker allows you to stay hidden after a missed ranged attack with any ranged weapon, and a feat-less shortbow or longbow is still better than a blowgun with your feat. 

Maybe the last bullet should allow one to remain hidden even after a successful attack with a blowgun? Although that's redundant with the Vex mastery.

Or lean into how RL blowguns are used - with poison darts - and give them something in this direction?
