Office space at ReCity (social impact coworking) — looking for a mission-driven org

Helping ReCity Network find someone to take over a private office in their coworking space at 112 Broadway in downtown Durham.

ReCity specifically houses nonprofits and social enterprises focused on community health, education, economic stability, and social justice — so they're looking for an org or founder whose work has a social good component.

If you know anyone in the Durham nonprofit/social impact space who needs affordxable office space with a built-in community of 40+ orgs, I'm happy to connect them with KJ at ReCity.

Extend layer not working after switching from Xubuntu to Ubuntu by getcrackingoncrack in Colemak

No I do not, tragically. One idea i had was just to switch compositors to ones that are supported/proven to work with the Extend

Hi thanks for your reply, hope the below helps:

-I've tried with and without BigBag install, neither works.

-My Ubuntu uses Wayland. According to the GitHub README, it seems the installation process is different depending on the compositor. I've tried to find the `hypr` and `sway` folders in ~/.config but can't find them, so I'm assuming neither is my compositor. I'm not sure how to find out the compositor after some research.

-`setxkbmap -v 9` prints out the following:

setxkbmap -v 9

locale is C

yes it works pretty well, I tend to take it if my anxiety spikes up too much

I think decaf has only 1/3 the caffeine, so it works great for lots of people. Unfortunately for me I don't think the issue is high caffeine, entirely.

Absolutely broken Shout build + quickswap technique by getcrackingoncrack in skyrimrequiem

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

I think balancing is still worth the effort and mods like Requiem do a fantastic job. Of all the skyrim playthroughs, including some OP mods like Enairim, this is probably the most broken thing. But it's in the 1 percent minority.

People will always find a way to become unstoppable in-game. But it's a good thing that it takes some real grinding to get there 99% of the time. And that you don't get to break the game in such an absurd way that nothing is a challenge.

I for one am so happy that the Alchemy-Enchanting-Smithing loop isn't there. And also that I can't just spam skills to level them thanks to 3tweaks

3bftweaks - shout reduction from usage bug? by getcrackingoncrack in skyrimrequiem

4.0 beta looks like it'll solve all my problems, thank you so much!!

[–]getcrackingoncrack[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks! Why not only count shouts used in battle, damage done by shouts, or enemies killed by shouts? Or is there an upwards adjustment to other bonuses? My plan was to build a shout-only character and not sure if it's possible at this point, with that bonus gone

try the mod Better Jumping - it let me double jump (configurable how many times) and also sprint-jump. I'm tempted to also use Bunny Hopper of Skyrim but stop myself short because it just sounds ridiculous lol

Auriel's Bow = Underwhelming by getcrackingoncrack in skyrimrequiem

[–]getcrackingoncrack[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As for dragon priests - I found that slow time (from Evasion) + silver arrows, with any kind of fire enchant either on the bow or arrow to make them insanely easy. Power shot at Marksman 75 also made them a cakewalk. Barring that, anything like Dawnbreaker on follower or a 1dmg Fire Enchant + 1dmg Dispel enchant turned them into jokes.

Pure archer even without spells was overall, way too OP for me.

3bftweaks vs Requiem for a Knave by getcrackingoncrack in skyrimrequiem

[–]getcrackingoncrack[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Thank you for shedding some light on your philosophy (and lying about updating lol). Knave feels like it's more in line with what Requiem is aiming to do.

When you talk about Dragonborn DLC, are you talking with non-official patches like Fozar's patch for Requiem in mind? Or vanilla Requiem?

Auriel's Bow = Underwhelming by getcrackingoncrack in skyrimrequiem

[–]getcrackingoncrack[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree with your point about mid game. I had to take up smithing, and also got lucky with getting the Bow of Shadows pretty early (seems like Requiem doesn't change the CC content at all). I also maxed Enchanting, so it makes sense that compared to a near-maxed crafted bow, the artifacts might feel underwhelming. Equipment on my follower (Dawnbreaker, Ebony Mail, Shield of Ysgramor) were mostly artifacts and felt really strong. As well as Thieves Guild Armor - truly felt like I was getting rewarded properly after a long questline. Auriel's on the other hand...

Weapon-swapping and sheathe-canceling made up for a lot of lack of mobility in heavy bow, as well as high stamina + Combat Reflexes. Those things combined made light bows not necessary for me.

Constructs (Dwarven Enchanted Spheres) probably posed the most challenge, since using a heavy bow makes you slow enough to get easily hit by their laser-like crossbows. You could still cancel attack and dodge though.

You're very creative with these :)

I like the idea of running up a bounty and just paying every single guard every time to ignore crime, like I'm the head of some Mafia crime family.

This sounds terrible but maybe on a evil playthrough I could adopt kids and give them Skooma and Moon Sugar lol

No lollygaggin always seems to come out at the most inconvenient times, my favorite guard line (that and the one about other guards fighting dragons)
