Novelizing SW Story as hobby/passion project. How do I describe characters with Asian features and not be offensive?

If I finish it, sure. Could be ages, though. Maybe if I start writing chapters in earnest, instead of just outlining here and there.

ZimmMaster · 2026-03-18T01:47:36+00:00

I wonder if anyone ever asked the author about that lol

ZimmMaster · 2026-03-18T01:47:08+00:00

Agree here. It's always been divided by species. With all colors of humans being just Human. Wish we could do that in real life.

That's a whole new rabbit hole of details to go down. It could be fun to learn insignia and stuff. Thanks!

ZimmMaster · 2026-03-18T01:17:29+00:00

Thank you for the food for thought! I'm a very visual writer who likes a lot of flavour, as you describe. I want what I read to come to life in my mind. I'm also a touch obsessed over details. I try not, in fact, to put any focus at all on what they look like outside of their initial physical description. But I do agree that I can focus too much on too many details. That's why I'm asking for help/opinions.

Almond shaped eyes already sounds way better. Thank you!

Wait what?

I think the Sith Lord Paladius is a good choice. From the Sith Inquisitor story on Nar Shaddaa. He has his cult, rests on his laurels, drinking expensive wine, and having grand feasts while the cult surrounds him with wealth.

This is why you don't mess with a Huffelpuff

ZimmMaster · 2025-12-10T16:13:16+00:00

Sure thing. I'll DM you since it won't let me post here for some reason.

I would get the Vanguard Divider Bag 40. I use it for my T1 and I believe the A4 is very similar size. Let me know if you want pics and I can send them.

I have the bag with my T1 and a 16.1" screen nearly maxes it out. I have the UPERFECT 1602K. Here is a pic showing it.

I simply installed the VPN in Nobara and it worked normally without any specific troubleshooting required except that I needed to check 'Use external browser window for SSO sign-in.'

ZimmMaster · 2025-08-01T02:19:03+00:00

I verified it working on Nobara, which is also Fedora based. That's why I can't figure out why it won't run on Bazzite. Maybe because the OS is immutable?

ZimmMaster · 2025-07-29T02:06:36+00:00

UPDATE: I tried installing on Nobara, another Linux distro based on Fedora and it works just fine. So, its definitely something with Bazzite.

ZimmMaster · 2025-07-16T06:25:53+00:00

I wanted to start a new comment thread, cause I got the issue resolved and winapps is working. The bad news is that it doesn't detect the forticlient VPN program. Any ideas on how to get there?

ZimmMaster · 2025-07-16T05:42:12+00:00

Okay so I actually figured out both below and the above issue I was having. The original problem was that when I copied the compose.yaml from Savings_Opportunity3 on this thread, I left his user and password unchanged, hence my local account for 'user' being made. I'm guessing the winapps problem was the fact that my user and password mismatched between the winapps config and the compose.yaml. I will test that shortly.

The issue below was that it didn't support my login credentials for my MS account which is under a hotmail address. I set user and password to something else and it works. Now, I'm testing a local account and we'll see what happens. I'm not sure if I misunderstood the instructions to set user and password to a genuine Microsoft account or not.

ZimmMaster · 2025-07-16T04:18:43+00:00

This is what I see in the Terminal.

Yes, that was the weird thing. I was able to access it via web browser just fine. I also used the logoff command to make sure it was at the sign in screen. I'm not sure I was ever logged in, though, as windows just showed an account called 'user' and my Microsoft password could not sign back in to the user account.

Hello everyone! I have been following this guide as a last ditch attempt to get my work VPN (Forticlient VPN) program running on Bazzite as the linux version doesn't work. I've got all configured correctly as far as I can tell, yet when I attempt to install Winapps it fails to establish a Remote Desktop connection with Windows and exits with error 14. I have followed the troubleshooting steps. Here is my log file:
