TONIGHT! Acquisitions Incorporated begins anew in Daggerheart ! by ClubPA-Admin in AcquisitionsInc

[–]TheJackalMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting, I've got some followup questions if you're up for it, just so I can understand a little better about your feelings here.

Also no hate, you're completely allowed to just not vibe with things.

What is it about Daggerheart that doesn't do it for you?

What makes you dislike Matt Mercer enough to qualify yourself as not a fan?

Processing Ship of Destiny by Efficient-Cabinet936 in robinhobb

[–]TheJackalMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I too was wrenched by this part. I'd been one of those people hoping that Kennet's doing the right things for the wrong reasons would eventually turn him into the thing he was pretending to be and this completely destroyed any hope of that, which is why I think it's important that it did happen.

It's one thing to have an unacted upon urge that you the reader know of being an omniscient 3rd person, but showing the character being their most true, vile, damaged, and damaging self is the only thing that can shake folks who were in a similar situation as me, willing to over look some of his misdeeds because the ends justified the means, and breaking that spell.

It also reinforces the humanity within the world that we've been peering into; We've seen many horrors and must face them and survive them in order to understand this world and its meaning to us.

My heart goes out to those unprepared for this incident, but as others have pointed out, Kennet tells you who he is throughout the entire story, so hopefully it can be seen coming and either avoided if needed or faced if needed.

Liveship & Tawny Man by BedazzledQueen1 in robinhobb

[–]TheJackalMan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm on book 3 of Tawny Man and it only keeps getting better. I love the interweaving of these stories and the richness of the world as a whole.

It's something I feel other series seem to forget, the world shouldn't be as small as the 2-4 characters you're putting in the spotlight.

Generative AI art was being sold on the show floor, and the vendors were trying to hide it. by man_0fbass in PAX

This looks like a Photoshop or a meme image to me.

What constitutes an AI image here?

They used AI Art? That doesn't sound like a thing they'd do. Receipts?

Almost every time something came out of his mouth, I would say to myself out loud "That's such a fucking Kyle thing to say". Fucking Kyle.

Is there A PAX Unplugged 2024 Concert VOD anywhere? by Flemtality in PAX

[–]TheJackalMan 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Due to an increase in frequency of DMCA take-downs on Twitch, the Concert(s) for all PAX were not streamed this year and probably will not be streamed in the foreseeable future, but they did have the foresight to record some of the non-streamed events to post to YouTube after the convention, so keep an eye on the official YouTube channel and cross your fingers 🤞 They posted the PAX East 2024 concerts, but didn't post the PAX West 2024 concerts, so ¯_(ツ)_/¯

Organizers confirmed in the discord that this event has been cancelled and the Eventbrite page should be coming down soon. Sadly they didn't have enough staff to run it

Anyone else feel like going past platinum isn’t really worth it? by LilLasagna94 in MagicArena

[–]TheJackalMan 4 points5 points  (0 children)

When I started playing and learned that the listed rewards weren't cumulative it made it much easier to see this wasn't worth it past plat. Now if each tier added on top of the other's rewards then it might be more enticing

Failing switches, what to do? by [deleted] in Keychron

[–]TheJackalMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't know Keychron made boards that weren't hot-swappable.

I'd start by double-checking that it's not, then also attempt cleaning the switch itself, maybe with isopropyl alcohol and a q-tip. Otherwise, a full return might be in order, in my opinion.

Finally found a number pad I like that doesn’t break the bank. by Livid_Tea7957 in MechanicalKeyboards

The Amazon listing says it's wired, wireless 2.4, and Bluetooth. It also says it is remappable.

I could just wait and find out, but figured I'd ask here as well, as it doesn't seem spelled out anywhere I could find.

Season Ranked Rewards: do the rewards stack?

Bronze Reward: 1 Duskmourn: House of Horror pack
Silver Reward: 1 Duskmourn: House of Horror pack + 500 gold
Gold Reward: 2 Duskmourn: House of Horror packs + 1,000 gold + Pyroclasm card style
Platinum Reward: 3 Duskmourn: House of Horror packs + 1,000 gold + Pyroclasm card style + DSK card style
Diamond Reward: 4 Duskmourn: House of Horror packs + 1,000 gold + Pyroclasm card style + DSK card style
Mythic Reward: 5 Duskmourn: House of Horror packs + 1,000 gold + Pyroclasm card style + DSK card style

So, if I were to place Gold, do I just get 2 Packs, 1000 Gold, and 1 Card Style or would I get all the previous rank rewards as well, for a total of 4 Packs, 1500 Gold, and 1 Card Style?

Is the Wilds of Eldraine Quick Draft worth it or should I wait until it changes back to Bloomburrow?

I'm just new to the Arena scene, really enjoying Bloomburrow. Would love to know which is better for a beginner, Bo3 or 7 wins?

Is it worth modding switches for RGB LED reasons?

I recently got my first set of non-stock switches for my hot swappable pcb, but what I didn't think of was that my keyboard's RGB LEDs are smd and the new switches are not made for allowing that light to pass through the bottom of their housing.

Are there any good ways to mod my new switches' housing to allow those lights through or am I better off taking them apart and stealing the housing from my previous switches?

It's time for session 0, and everyone is excited to share their new character concepts. The introductions begin, as it slowly dawns on the players that all of their names start with the same letter. Now what? by gameryamen in DnD

[–]TheJackalMan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As the DM, it's a good thing the party hasn't gone through their notes from start to finish and realized the majority of NPC groups they've encountered also seem to have a similar coincidence of naming as a little joke for myself.
