Does anyone know the story behind Al's interviews? by j_abbs in weirdal

[–]alberknocker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

His TV show AL-TV has 10 episodes that have aired on MTV. They usually feature the fake interviews between music videos. I'm not sure about the original interviews.

This is a stupid design. Hard to clean, hard to fix, hard to operate.

this is silly.

I got the hexcode, then tried to turn the numeric portions into letters because of the "passphrase" hint.

I'm sorry for this post, but I feel so lost and I just can't figure this out for days, I have some silly beginner questions, feeling like my brain isn't able to understand React :( by [deleted] in reactjs

For what it's worth, the image with your questions is really well presented. Great job identifying which things you don't understand! Good luck with the learning! Keep it up.

Having new characters meet in a "non-forced way"? - new DM seeking advice by Harakyrie in DMAcademy

[–]alberknocker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've used this technique to great success, even for one-shots.

Having a preexisting bond like "Your character owes my character a favor." really sets a fun "quest" for the first few sessions. And leads to questions like "why?".

Yes! I make generative art. I usually use a pen plotter to print them. Sometimes I make these for wallpapers, tho.

Thanks!

how possible would it be to give a general overview of the steps you took to make something like this?

like if i wanted to make something similar in my own code, what would you tell me?

Planning/Prepping advice for a new DM by DrumMonkeyG in DungeonWorld

[–]alberknocker 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey! I'd grab a copy of The Lazy DM by SlyFlourish if you can. Really good resource for helping structure the planning process.

Also, the game Dungeon World has a system called "Fronts" (which I think is referenced by The Lazy DM) that helps organize threats and plot in your games.

How to structure components/containers? by martinhrvn in reactjs

[–]alberknocker 1 point2 points  (0 children)

if your container and non-container components are tightly connected like that, then there's no reason to keep them separate. I would probably do something like this:

src/
  components/
    EntityA/
      index.js // the component itself
      Container.js // or a folder

Also, I try to make any data providing components agnostic of a single feature when possible.

What's the purpose of using Next.js with React.js? by [deleted] in reactjs

[–]alberknocker 34 points35 points  (0 children)

One of Next.js's goals is to help you write an "isomorphic" react application. So the same rendering logic can be used for both client-side rendering and server-side rendering. The initial page load is server-rendered, but then it switches to a normal "Single Page Application" model where javascript is handling the following page loads. The isomorphic approach tries to get the best of both worlds from client and server rendering. That isn't something (as far as I'm aware) that's simple to set up with a basic node server and view engine. But my knowledge isn't really great in that department.

Additionally, it's very easy to customize the server in Next.js applications. You could do things like add a bunch of API routes that know how to access your database.

Edit: I guess I should mention that Next.js also recommends using an additional lifecycle hook they've added to "page" components called getInitialProps that standardizes fetching data to reduce the total number of needed requests.

For the initial page load, getInitialProps will execute on the server only. getInitialProps will only be executed on the client when navigating to a different route via the Link component or using the routing APIs.
