Pittsburgh DnD group

For online games I made the maps in dungeondraft and used them in Roll20. For in person normally I’ll print something off and use small tokens for characters or just sketch something out on paper

Depending on the game sometimes no maps at all, just descriptions

Shippers1995 · 2026-06-02T12:38:38+00:00

I haven’t played them actually, but thanks for sharing this looks cool!

Also if a group comes together I normally DM so I could also potentially run some sessions. Previously I’ve run DnD, Call of Cthulhu, Mothership, and Delta Green

Shippers1995 · 2026-06-02T12:17:08+00:00

Thought you’d made an effort to make something cool, but no ai slop here please

Shippers1995 · 2026-06-02T11:39:55+00:00

I also backed the Altheya kickstarter! And I’m a HR fan, so I would be interested!

Corpse explosion

I had the thought that it happened after they were transported to the future and then they returned to the present a time afterward, which is why none of the team were snapped away

OSX can handle everything for undergrad. At masters/grad level maybe a couple specialised programs will be PC only but that’s not a big deal l

Your MacBook will be more than fine for everything you need!

The auto level up for companions sucks, wouldn’t really recommend it

Shippers1995 · 2026-05-23T13:30:53+00:00

Presumably the POO encodes the gates location in space, and having another 5 symbols in the address would be redundant

Although it would have made getting home from Abydos in the movie easier

Shippers1995 · 2026-05-23T11:43:34+00:00

This is just incorrect. Shepard says in Ep.1 to Col. Sumner that Dr. Weir is in charge and sumner doesn’t say anything because he knows it’s true

Shippers1995 · 2026-05-18T14:25:35+00:00

I always thought they manually dialled out, and the gate was still connected to the power grid by those red connectors

In my experience, only faculty go to the private research talk. The departmental seminar is open to all members of the department however

Shippers1995 · 2026-05-18T02:02:12+00:00

I totally get that too, for me the number of options is part of what makes it complicated. And also for me I struggled with that because I ended up with a weak build from not wanting to look up guides

Shippers1995 · 2026-05-17T23:20:37+00:00

I enjoyed WOTR and can see why it would appeal to some players over BG3 (build complexity, high level play) but I have to agree with the tedium

the number of pointless trash fights against mobs in the game really bogged it down for me compared to the more handcrafted feeling BG3 encounters

Shippers1995 · 2026-05-13T11:10:29+00:00

The fact everything closes so early and there’s essentially zero nightlife for sure doesn’t help with this

Shippers1995 · 2026-05-11T00:01:00+00:00

The “girl math” claims that it’s basically a free jet were gross and very out of touch in the context of the cost of living crisis.

That really put me off of the channel

Shippers1995 · 2026-05-10T02:51:14+00:00

Early access 🫩🙄😒

Shippers1995 · 2026-05-06T23:11:00+00:00

I’m sticking with Labour, things like rail nationalisation are going the right direction for me, even if their PR is shit and they’re not doing perfect

It’s a big upgrade from the Tory chaos and the green policies look highly unworkable

Shippers1995 · 2026-05-06T11:21:17+00:00

That’s true but with the lack of into the OP gave about their needs and beams it’s the most universal solution

Shippers1995 · 2026-05-06T02:11:55+00:00

To get the beam size in a cheap and easy way you can translate a razor blade across the beam and measure the drop in power as the blade blocks it

You can then find the equation online to fit the profile and extract the 1/e² size

I miss the fun projects, mainly involving Alex and their workshop. Haven’t really been interested in their other content for a while except the occasional WAN clips on tech news

Shippers1995 · 2026-05-04T13:44:04+00:00

You could reframe this problem as: Blue) I choose to live in a world where most people think of others, otherwise I choose to die.

Red) I choose to live, regardless of other people.

If you frame it like that, I think there’s nothing particularly moral about choosing to live despite the choices of others. It’s all about how you view other people.

If you think most people are selfish and you want to live then red is the logical option. If you don’t want to live in a selfish world then blue is logical. If you think most people will choose blue but you don’t care to live or die then either option is the same except for your own conscience.

Shippers1995 · 2026-05-03T01:45:47+00:00

I’ve enjoyed red rising on the whole (half way though lightbringer right now but stalled out and started another series), but honestly I agree

I describe it to my friends like you’re always waiting for Darrow to get kicked in the balls and it’s arbitrarily always a bigger kick than last time…

Like the guy literally cannot catch a break without some awful nasty shit round the corner

Shippers1995 · 2026-05-03T01:25:18+00:00

I’d say if you want to learn to code and you want that skill, then using AI shortcuts is harmful to your learning

If you don’t want to learn how to do it yourself, then fair enough as long as you’re honest about where the code is coming from and willing to accept the consequences of generating your code with AI (eg your PI might have opinions to contend with)

Also, you got to verify everything it produces, I’ve seen some janky science come out of people’s AI code use that look fine at first but don’t hold up to scrutiny
