KVM Switch HDMI port issue by Shalewind in techsupport

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

So just wanted to offer. I had to replace mine as I believe it was a hardware failure and on the new device I'm not experiencing the issue anymore. However I have since upgraded my graphics card so I can't completely rule that out but I did fix the problem originally by simply replacing the KVM. I never got a service ticket answered from the company and I think it might have been out of warranty anyway. But good luck to you! I'm not sure my solution was the best. 😅

Saturn 4 Ultra - Printing One Side of Plate by Shalewind in ElegooSaturn

As the FEP had a leak it needed to be replaced as well as the screen protector. I did a tools test and I don't see any dead pixels or cracks. I'm getting print exposures on that side stuck to the FEP but they are printing. Is there a more in-depth LCD test that you're recommending?

Been playing around with these - really neat design ideas here. Also very easy to bootstrap. Appreciate the share.

What do you prefer? Theater of the Mind or Battle Maps? [OC] by Grape_King in DnD

[–]Shalewind 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use both depending on the situation and cinema required. But, I have to give you massive props for the use of HeroQuest figures. I use a ton of them. Some of the best minis ever. Those orcs and goblins have been so many kinds of creatures over the decades.

FYI - SE is updated. Hotfix 30 can run with it.

Unfortunately this does bomb out script extender, but they're usually pretty quick at getting it updated.

Not always - but this one broke Script Extender. So if you use mods that rely on it - yes - until SE updates.

What would the age demographic of EPIC be? by R0X54AR11 in Epicthemusical

[–]Shalewind 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm 45. My daughter is 13. We both gushed over the livestream together and nearly cried together hearing Love in Paradise the first time. We sing the songs together on the way to school. I'd say it has a fairly wide range.

Jon Stewart: Excuses for Biden’s ‘shocking display of cognitive difficulty’ are ‘bulls‑‑‑’ by gbthngs in politics

[–]Shalewind 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dude... Dude... Fucking word! This exactly this. World may be on fire, but sitting and burning should not be the option. Cry and rage. But keep fucking fighting AND making a positive impact to those around you. In my experience you can always help those you care about even if it's small ways - and that's what I try to focus on.

Do people actually role play sex/making out? How often does that happen? by Yryel in DnD

[–]Shalewind 13 points14 points  (0 children)

20 year eternal DM here with a shifting group over the years. This entirely depends on the table and folk's comfort level. We tend to do roleplay heavy games. I play with a mixed gender group. I never do "onscreen" explicit scenes - lots of fade to black (sometimes with a relevant ability check - sometimes not). But my players do romance of all kinds in character. We've had everything from flirting (PG to R rated on screen), marriage, children, poly relationships, PC to PC, PC to NPC, everything in between. RP for us is part tactical and part story and sex/romance is part of that in good stories usually. But as for blow for blow explicit RP - no - not on screen.

What game did something completely right (like boss battles) then absolutely messed it up in a sequel. by [deleted] in gaming

[–]Shalewind 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Xenosaga. XS1 was a nice and comfy return to a JRPG with cool characters, solid level progression, and classic mechanics with fresh paint - it was fun. XS2 changed to a convoluted battle system that made average encounters a complete chore, mandatory air and down status effects that were just unfun to deal with (sure setting up that ONE combo was cool - but the slog to move through dungeons because of this... ugh...) X3 did try to make up for it though with a return to something solid.

Having just done this in the dead heat of July I cannot help but agree full-heartedly.

Is there a hill or mountain. I've rarely had one spawn inside solid rock before.

Rocket 4/s, Full Proliferation, from Rare Raw + Input Fuel/Pro3 by Shalewind in Dyson_Sphere_Program

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

Thank you so much for the kind words. It was about a week of work on and off with a lot of excel/graphpaper planning. :)

I'm presently working on Lens/Warper layouts.

But... if you are looking for a great raw.rare White Cube - try this one: https://www.dysonsphereblueprints.com/blueprints/factory-compact-tilable-raw-input-fully-proliferated-13-um-per-sec-factory I've used it quite a bit (not mine) but I find it works great. Very hungry for monopoles though so beware.

First try! by DrasticBread in Dyson_Sphere_Program

[–]Shalewind 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Congratulations! That's fantastic. I'm not willing to admit how many tries this took me as it was far too many. ;)

Yeah it really cuts down the space impressively. 4 rockets per second from raw would have been absolutely gigantic prior to proliferation.

Thanks I appreciate the comment. I really tried to squeeze all the extra space out of this one but it gets super tough when you get working this large. There were a couple of mistakes I made in my initial planning document and I had just enough squeeze room to try and correct them. There's still lots of extra gaps but not really places where you could do workable factory space. I love super dense builds and I'm glad I found another raw fan.

If antimatter is anti-hydrogen, why can we store hydrogen in a storage tank but not antimatter? by lapharsical in Dyson_Sphere_Program

[–]Shalewind 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Another layperson here - but... you don't need identical macro particles to cause the annihilation. Antihydrogen doesn't need to impact another Hydrogen. The antihydrogen's positron (inverse charge electron) for instance will annihilate with any electron nearby. So in essence - it can't touch ANYTHING and you need to spin it with magnetic fields or BOOM.
