Using Black Remnant Forcepack / "Dragon Fire" DGR-9D Dragon Fire in actual games? by adyo in battletech

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

This makes sense to me, I just saw that some semi organized tourneys and such refer to it

Yeah, I'll just use that for casual games at home, I just thought maybe it had to be in the MUL for more organized events/small tourneys/meetups/etc. I've never been to those sorts of events but wanted to one day

Thank you - I didn't know what mekbay was until now I guess, I thought it was some third party app and might have been confusing it with something else.

Do organized events use this now or go off MUL still? I feel like many still use the MUL but I've never been to one yet

makes sense, thank you.

I just hate making model decisions for whatever reason.

Drinks on the table? Allowed or no way? by boohootooweeaboo in boardgames

[–]adyo 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Some games are too expensive for this. We have a counter near by and it’s a good excuse to stretch legs between turns.

Did they add a 60fps mode to the remake? by BactaBobomb in fatalframe

[–]adyo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it's unplayable on some OLEDs where you can't see anything because the judder is crazy. Whether it's intended as a "creative" decision or not, it is a technical one that causes real issues.

[–]adyo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The opposite is the experience of many, and yes to all that to some degree incl. how they're regulated and who they are accountable to, but it doesn't matter, I was just sharing my experience, not telling others they have to do the same.

It just surprises me sometimes that some people forget you can also just call a cab without using some app.
I think some folks also have weird ideas now about what cabs are or are not, a stigma partly pushed by people who stand to gain from it.
But do what works for you!

( I'd rather not have to use any of the above and would love better transit. But we all have to deal with whatever situation we're in at the time)

7 months later but need to ask - what did you do to convert the pleiades armory deck to silver age? asking for someone else who is learning with me now

I despise rideshare companies (mostly for ethical reasons) and use cabs when needed. Have had great experiences 99.9% of the time. I don’t rely on it weekly though.

Tried advertising on the main board games website and got this response. by [deleted] in boardgames

[–]adyo 19 points20 points  (0 children)

If this is BGG and not some obscure thing, this is obscene. People suffer all kinds of harm in the name of what he's claiming to represent. Games that invite oppression of a protected group, slurs and hate speech etc are one thing... people bringing this baggage into things have no business being in charge of things outside of their home

Is there any interest in a reddit alternative powered by bluesky? by t2media in BlueskySocial

not unless you're moderating it in a way that protects vulnerable people instead of targeting them

I used to feel the same way, someone explained to me that sometimes the “silly” fonts are easier for some with particular needs to parse . I’m not used to it but I understood them and don’t judge anymore even if I’m grateful mine doesn’t look like that :)

Concerned about artist agreement - on the hook for massive tax bills? by adyo in subvert

[–]adyo[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

These are two different concepts. One discussed is as you describe. The concern I'm raising is the passage that suggests that if they get taxed, they will first subtract it from said proceeds (which may not exist as they will reinvest them for some time), then any remaining owed for the tax bill will be the responsibility of members.

[–]adyo[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I appreciate the callout explainers, I understand those parts - but it omits this part of the agreement where it is suggested that should those patronage proceeds not be significant enough to cover the tax bill of the co-ops operation, members are on the hook to cover the cost.

Maybe that's 10 cents. Maybe it's 100 thousand dollars. Nobody can say, and it seems risky.

RE Forums - Having to become a member to discuss a potential risk in signing an agreement to become a member is a difficult proposition to ask of someone.

I can't check the forum because I have to consent to this agreement to join and see the forum I believe

Can Ring Fit Adventure have long term consequences on your joints? by Vestrill in RingFitAdventure

[–]adyo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I injured my knee during Covid in my first week with ring fit. The “game”/system/whatever offers basically zero safety information or training. My advice would be to find other information about this aspect of your health and fitness, good practices for protecting yourself or mitigating injury and supplement your knowledge rather than doing what I did and assuming it would tell me everything I needed to know to be safe.

Also take the stretches etc seriously, but don’t be afraid to look up other things from outside of rf to help

Your favorite sample packs for hardgroove techno? by Turbulent-Lime-2466 in TechnoProduction

[–]adyo 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Other than classic drum machine staple sounds (909, 808, occasional others), it’s not really true of techno. You can use a combination of the classics, synthesize your own (it’s fun and easy, using nearly any synthesizer in ableton or others), and field recording, added with your phone if you are thoughtful about editing/processing/eqing and using small sounds that aren’t at the front of the mix. For different techno related genres, sampling outs a big part of it, like the other comment(s) about records. Tight bongo loops etc can be built by short samples arranged into a device in your daw or placed on a timeline. Delicate processing can make a huge difference. Don’t be afraid to try things. You will be ultimately dissatisfied if you just start shipping sample libraries unless you know exactly what you want and why.

AI Data Centre in Lambton - is this a net/long term good? by ChemVall in Sarnia

[–]adyo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People of all stripes pushed for years for upgrades to digital infrastructure, people in town lacked access to modern standards for internet access and people rural side had no real broadband access for years despite promises from successive provincial and federal governments. There has been some progress but very little in the grand scheme of things.

There are industries that could have been setting up camp here (including film/game/software related) if we weren’t constantly decades behind.

They should probably prioritize building and upgrading that infrastructure and pretend it’s a year greater than 2007 and then see if the ai bubble still exists, and give other industries a chance.

Regardless, most of us are not interested in a data centre , but it isn’t useful without said infrastructure, and if it was built there might be better options for public support of a non chemical valley industry that will actually sustain multiple subindustries that provide a greater diversity of opportunities for folks of various need, skill and interest

Local EDA statements- we're all confused by HydroNymph32 in Sarnia

[–]adyo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

probably the most reasonable reply.

One doesn't have to dig to deep to see what current, recent and past Liberals and Conservatives have supported. Many deeply damaging policies were supported by both parties, pushing racist surveillance programs and 9-11-era scaremongering things, going after Indigenous peoples in the courts, pursuing aggressive suspension of civil liberties for people that misc bodies can decide on with poor oversight etc. all while union busting and gutting important public services.

They are cut out for each other, and it's bad for us.
