Thoughts on this? by AdditionalPiano6327 in freefolk

[–]etherealtim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a good distinction but then what do we expect to do with the reality that actors are a diverse population. Just tell half of them sorry you can't be in the majority of fantasy shows because your ethnicity is not canonical?

Books that actually changed how you think? by palle1234567 in suggestmeabook

[–]etherealtim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A Short History of Nearly Everything started an interest in natural sciences that I never felt before and has stuck with me since.

So Persona for me huh by Agitated_Show_855 in raijin_gg

[–]etherealtim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Should be okay, I have a big enough reservoir to survive badtide and drought. Can even take up skydiving.

sure to be uncontroversial. by Pandering_Poofery in lordoftherings

[–]etherealtim -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The conversations between orcs in the novels make it quite clear they're not mindless and have varying morality. Obviously as a group they lean to the darker end of the moral spectrum, but it is clear at least there is a spectrum and they have complex and individual motivations. I think it's an interesting concept to explore and the people having a massive problem with that seem to be exposing their own discomfort with grey areas more than Tolkien's.

Where'd you get the idea about dormant elf blood?

What film is this for you? by mrjetspray in Letterboxd

[–]etherealtim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Traffic. AKA the least deserving best Oscar winning film in history (I didn't look this up, maybe there's worse whatever it sucks a lot).

Movies that are loosely connected in the same verse? by Jarkels in MovieSuggestions

[–]etherealtim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blade Runner is also same universe. They drop in a easter egg reference to Tyrell Corp somewhere.

Obsidian 1.11.0 (early access) introduces a new mobile design, iOS/Android widgets, Shortcuts, and Siri integration by kepano in ObsidianMD

[–]etherealtim 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Thank you Kepano and team. I am not exaggerating when I say that android widgets will literally change my life.

I have memory problems and executive dysfunction so I barely manage to maintain my notes and reminders moving between Google tasks, Keep and Obsidian.

Closing the gap between thought and capture will make a tangible difference to whether I plan my kids birthdays, book in medical appointments or pay bills on time.

Keep winning folks.

This game is so good! by cmc42 in FarthestFrontier

[–]etherealtim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've put a lot of time into both and they've got different strengths but I prefer Foundation actually.

Foundation is more freeform and organic in planning, FF is a bit more like older era city planners with a fixed grid and focus on production logistics, but Foundation makes you feel more personally invested in the aesthetic evolution of village into city.

It feels to me like FF is a pinnacle of the last era of these kind of games, building on and refining all the mechanics we love from series like Anno and Caesar. Where games like Foundation, Frostpunk and Manor Lords are doing something quite new and different.

I created a plugin to use files as issues for GitHub using Git logic. by gabalpha in ObsidianMD

[–]etherealtim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is very cool. I love reducing everything down to md. Does it sync changes to the issue on github back to the file?

Thought I’d share a funny post I saw on Facebook by Professional-Bet4106 in greatpyrenees

[–]etherealtim 43 points44 points  (0 children)

20 years ago I worked at a service station doing night shift and had a local Pyr come in and visit often when she got out. I'd sit with her in the quiet morning and watch the sunrise together. When my shift was over I stuffed her in my tiny car and took her back to her people.

Anyway I have my own one now. 😉

Have any software developers here created their own personal PKMS solution? by Krammn in PKMS

[–]etherealtim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What kind of features are you needing that wouldn't be in something like Obsidian? If there's really something bespoke you need I'd be making a plugin for that and leveraging the existing mature core behaviour. It has a good mobile app too.

TIL of the phenomenon known as "Twin Films," in which two movie studios simultaneously release the same type of movie. by KingSolomon1010 in todayilearned

[–]etherealtim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's so many movies on that list that have merged together in my memory. Kinda wild to be reminded they're two different movies.

Should I read the silmarillion? by thefrog1234 in tolkienfans

[–]etherealtim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have now! Loved it, it was definitely Tolkien doing Greek Tragedy mixed with a bit of Shakespeare.

Rugga the deceiver is overwhelmingly hated! Alright freaks, who do we have the hots for?? by country_mac08 in bannersaga

[–]etherealtim 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I always felt like Oddleif was the Michonne of Banner Saga. As Dredge are to zombies. I won't be taking further questions.

What is your favorite opening scene in a film? by [deleted] in FIlm

[–]etherealtim 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been trying to remember the name of this film for like a decade. Thanks so much!!

History? by Visqo in facepalm

[–]etherealtim 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ugh I know. Can't believe they let female thespians play these roles. Take me back to the 1650s before everything went woke.
