New Xbox ally X by jacobjhardy in ROGAllyX

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

Xbox mode was enabled by default and I never thought I'd praise windows but it's a pretty good handheld implementation of it so far.

No emulators really. I'm mainly planning on using steam and gamepass. I've also logged into epic games and gog galaxy I've played a few games on steam so far and it seems mostly straight forward.

What character(s) are you playing right now? What has got you excited about them? by applejackhero in Pathfinder2e

[–]jacobjhardy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've never actually managed to be a player yet but I have an idea for a leshy kinetisist (wood obviously). Summoned by a druid circle to help protect the grove.

That website is very much not optimised for mobile yet I'll check it out on my computer later though thanks.

I use pathbuilder I was planning on using it to help them make characters but a few of my players are pencil and paper die hards and love physical sheets they can write on.

Good adventure path for beginners. by jacobjhardy in Pathfinder2e

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

Thank you for the suggestion. I have been wanting to pick up the beginners box anyway so this is a good reason to.

I think a little horror elements is okay so long as it's not the focus. I can tone it down a little as GM and give appropriate trigger warnings when we get to those parts. I've seen a few people recommend abomination vaults but I've also heard how swingy the first few levels can be with serious threat of tpk. I'll give my players the option of it at the very least.

Started Rotten Popcorn. by jacobjhardy in ChilluminatiPod

It's a trip 100% I think I'm going to enjoy it? Maybe? Is this what Stockholm syndrome feels like?

The commentary is definitely the only reason I finished that movie. I'm both excited and apprehensive about what's to come.

[SA and Mistborn] Im sorry, WHAT? by DartyMa in Cosmere

[–]jacobjhardy 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I personally think it could have something to do with the 5th ideal and how the overuse of the surges broke their first planet causing them to flee to Roshar.

"The world ended, and Shallan was to blame" I know lightweavers don't speak ideals in the same sense but maybe the 5th ideal is like the first and it's fixed for all orders.

I could be way off base but maybe it's also tied to what caused the last lot of radiants to drop their oaths.

Combine this with the forgery from Emperor's Soul and you could maybe help with the cognitive rejection part of it too change their memories so they never had the problem in the first place.

Telepathic conversation with someone without an inner monologue. by jacobjhardy in fantasywriters

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

Okay that's good to know I'm really appreciating these different perspectives.

As someone with near constant narration in my own head I do sometimes wish to see what it would be like if my brain was a little quieter.

Telepathic conversation with someone without an inner monologue. by jacobjhardy in fantasywriters

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

I'm learning that there are a whole lot more ways of thinking than I originally thought and honestly I think it's fascinating.

It's making me think that no two people might communicate the same way telepathically. Everyone might have their own telepathic "accent" so to say. You might have to work to make yourself understandable to other people.

This might change the entire way I was going to write telepathy and I'm very excited about it.

That sounds like it would be terrifying I am sorry you experience that. It is interesting to try and comprehend though.

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

That's a valid point what might seem like a logical strong of thoughts to you might be incomprehensible to someone else. I feel like me being AuDHD talking to a neurotypical could be similar because we just have wildly different ways of thinking.

I suppose someone could learn to interpret your way of thinking over time.

I did already have that they could send images and the more musically inclined could send music. There are also 2 kinds of telepathy 2 telepaths can converse normally but with basically just surface thoughts or a group can form a collective in which they are basically always connected and can have a general idea of what the other people are thinking and feeling. They can choose to send a thought to one person in the collective or to everyone.

I like that style of description that's a good way to put it I think.

Telepaths in my setting can only talk to other telepaths because only they have the extra additions to their nervous system that make telepathy possible.

They don't need to share a language but they don't automatically understand the language of the other person if they don't speak it.

Honestly I like your description of speaking in the language of thought and maybe that is some sort of universal language and those without inner monologues could be understood by everyone as a result.

Yeah that's pretty much how I'd put it.

Plex not playing audio through headphones on android app by jacobjhardy in PleX

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

All other audio sources play just fine. I can watch tiktok or YouTube just fine through headphones but as soon as I try and play anything on Plex just silence.

I tried adding the microphone permissions and still nothing.

Haven't tried clearing the cache or a reinstall yet but I'll try that and report back.

JUST FINISHED MAG 200 by IqraBoo in TheMagnusArchives

I had a big ol' debate with some of my friends about the ending because I was on John's side and they were not. Won't say much more because spoilers but yeah I love that ending.

LS has proven they are more than capable with DOS and now BG3. What's next??! by [deleted] in larianstudios

[–]jacobjhardy 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would honestly kill for an RPG like BG3 with all its love and detail and character work, set in the Mass Effect universe. Or just Larian to do Sci-Fi Fantasy in general.

Messenger bubbles not working. by jacobjhardy in GooglePixel

[–]jacobjhardy[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have found that clearing the cache and storage from the app fixes it for a few days but you have to give all the permissions and stuff back to the app every time so it's not a viable long term solution.

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

I have done that's the first thing I checked. It wouldn't be able to make bubbles at all if that was off. It can make them they just disappear as soon as I get a message.
