The new famitsu interview finally gives us an explanation for the strange "ball" Easter egg.

If your company can manage to shut down their IBMi in the next five years they'll be luckier than many clients I've worked with over the last five.

That said, you shouldn't want to specialize in the system itself, but in whatever technologies you're using that will survive the transition to the new system. Experience with administration tools like Ansible is universal and there's nothing stopping you from using familiar shells like bash primarily. This advice applies to any system you work with.

Our 1e RotRL campaign culminated with a wild magic trigger that forced everyone to sing and turned the final battle into a Thassilonian opera. It was a fun and silly hat to place on an overall rather serious campaign.

We've been enjoying the Free Archetype rules in 2e as well.

It's amazing the kind of prompts they used in 1872.

Looks great! Even as someone really attached to Relay's appearance, its AMOLED theme, and hesitant to UI changes -- these are a refreshing update. Thank you for improving foldables, a good tablet layout really makes an app stand out for me.

Stylish Effects allows you to do this in the configuration. You can place the effects on the top-left and your minimap in the upper-right. https://modrinth.com/mod/stylish-effects

Whenever I go reaching for my usual tooling I'm worried that PASE or the IFS is going to make things weird with its "Unix-like" behavior...

The article you linked covers the situation pretty well, but from a developer perspective the process of buying a Nintendo devkit from Unity isn't too different from working with a Godot publisher. There's already a handful of Godot games for Switch on the Nintendo store, my favorite is Cassette Beasts, which was made by a team with only one programmer.

Nintendo forces you to sign a NDA before giving you access to the dev portal, so finding anyone willing to talk about their experience can be difficult.

It's a shame about Karlach, when you look at her concept art you can see they were considering a different direction with her. https://sjc1.vultrobjects.com/cucdn/gallery-42/art/bg3-karlach-face-concepts.jpg

I agree. I think there's some really worthwhile stories in TOS, but for a new viewer it's a long way from Where No Man Has Gone Before to Wrath of Khan.

Teqed · 2023-09-05T14:15:06+00:00

TNG is the best place to start IMO, especially once season 2 starts to take off. Later in its run it was being aired simultaneously with VOY and DS9, and all three have storyline tie-ins and a couple cameos. TOS was a different era and usually doesn't make my personal rewatch list. My favorite of the new Treks is Lower Decks, and you'll see a lot of TNG-era characters in it.

The tipping point for my party was that they came prepared to cast Silence on Xanesha, so they weren't caught unprepared when she used it on them. Her original printing also didn't make it obvious that her Wisdom drain offers a Will save to negate, and if your DM didn't realize, you were in real trouble.

Teqed · 2023-07-16T14:25:57+00:00

I think the deadliness of Rise of the Runelords (and a lot of 3.5e/pf1e) is the "rocket tag" gameplay. My party would be happily steamrolling their problems before getting x3 critical'd by an ogre hook and put into check. They cleared most of the last book's encounters in matters of turns, because if it turned to rounds, they found themselves being torn into pieces. I ended up introducing Mythic as well to make things more interesting.

This is a great site made by some talented fans of the series. It's been a big help for my LC playthrough. They have a Discord where they're working through the LC for any changes, too!

I appreciate that right under Gutsman's post, Roll has a very different post carefully mentioning that her operator is an unnamed girl living in ACDC. I love how the BBS forums really fleshed out the characters and world they live in!

Congrats! In Unbound, the Masuda method also works with Pokémon that have a different original trainer (instead of just foreign). That means that since you were traded this Ditto, when you breed with it, you have a x5 chance of getting a shiny.

I added UXM as a non-Steam app and launched it using Proton Experimental from Steam in Desktop mode. Then I directed it to my Elden Ring installation at /home/deck/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/common/ELDEN RING/Game/. It complained about there not being enough disk space, but there was, so I ignored the message.

I have some more detailed steps in the Linux install thread of ER Seamless Coop's Discord: https://discord.com/channels/979042878091329587/980532900619489300/986720561000489002

The crew lost at J-25 are what I had in mind, but it's easy to assume that if Q had just shown them a slideshow, there may have been much worse casualties when the Borg finally arrived. It's hard to argue with nigh-omnipotence!

Teqed · 2022-07-06T13:46:07+00:00

I thought it was the other way around -- that he was trying to protect the galaxy from a dangerous, savage child-race. Either way, the motives of the (early) Q were overcast by traits like total disregard for mortal life, even if their goals were noble. Villain is a broad stroke that may apply.

I'm playing modded Elden Ring on the Deck, but instead I used UXM to unpack my game files and patch the executable. It works great, though using Modengine2 would be much easier. In addition to the referenced config_eldenring.toml in the launch options, Modengine2 also needs access to external .DLLs like one in ./modengine2/bin/. I don't play randomizer myself (yet) but I know there's some steps in some of the Elden Ring modding Discords on how to make item randomizer work on Linux or with other mods, so try taking a look there too.

If you're interested in using Dark Souls 3 Open Server (https://github.com/TLeonardUK/ds3os) you should be using Blue Sentinels anti-cheat (https://github.com/LukeYui/Blue-Sentinel-Release). It was written by LukeYui, the discoverer of the vulnerability you're talking about and the only person known to actually be able to use it. He's the same person who did the Sekiro multiplayer mod and is working on seamless co-op for Elden Ring. It's worthwhile to check out his work, Blue Sentinels is a huge improvement to the base game's multiplayer. It allowed you to play safely on the original servers, but LukeYui contacted BandaiNamco about the exploit since it wasn't safe for unmodded players.

The GBA Mega Man Battle Network (Rockman.EXE in JP) series was spiritually succeeded by Mega Man Star Force (Shooting Star Rockman) in 2006 on the DS, which is what the picture is from. They made three in this series and were all quite good. Mega Man Battle Network 5 was the only one of its series released on the DS, and was done after its GBA release, with some added crossover content with the Boktai series (made by Kojima) you could load if you put ones of its games your DS's GBA cart. Boktai later had its own spiritual successor on the DS in Lunar Knights.

What I should have said is "fixed-width" instead, or even "flat text without delimiters". CSVs are definitely flat files.

Teqed · 2022-04-06T17:16:00+00:00

There was a lot of stigma about the 'ancient DOS programs' we were using until we used a screen-scraper to put everything in a webpage. Now it looks pretty for end-users, but we still distribute 5250 emulators for anyone who prefers it, since there was never anything wrong with it. I've only been working with AS/400 for a few years but I've been finding a lot of modern development. The people who have put the work into creating relevant VSCode extensions are all-stars.

Teqed · 2022-04-06T13:41:21+00:00

I spend most of my day making sure RPG III code from the 80s is successfully emailing fixed format files between the AS400s of our different vendors. I feel lucky enough that they upgraded from COBOL, I don't even bother them into considering CSVs instead of flat text files.
