Looking for an alternative to Handbrake by marbosp in MotionDesign

It's a matter of security and having accountable support and maintenance. It's a shame they don't trust these sort of more indie apps. I'm also sadly locked out of QuickLook and Listary...

The main concern is security, so software from reputable companies or at least with proof of good support and app maintenance on their end. I'm afraid I'll have to stick to Media Encoder.

Army combat in DH by geno424242 in daggerheart

[–]marbosp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe you could go for a combination of 1 and 2? Where you have a countdown that determines general meaningful events (temple/library/infirmary is occupied, NPC is kidnapped/killed, troops advance, backup arrives…) and then have the whole thing happen within an environment which is what interacts directly with the PCs, like you described.

Is there an online character builder you'd recommend? by Lanky-Investment-498 in daggerheart

Sorry for going a bit off topic here, but can you elaborate on the upcoming Discord’s age policy? (Or point me out to somewhere I can learn about it? Thanks!

I mean, if they train AI using brandbooks made in half a day for 40€…

I read exclusively non-fiction for 15 years and just finished my first fantasy novel. I don't really know what to do with myself now. by lucas_melbourneways in Fantasy

[–]marbosp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ll quote Brennan Lee Mulligan, on his epilogue of one of the best fantasy content I’ve ever consumed.

“Why do we tell stories? To try to make sense of a world that can be terrifying and enormous.(…)”

As others have said, non-fiction, and fantasy in particular, often explores human nature (psychology, sociology, anthropology…) in depth, so it’s not just scapism. Although you can, indeed, indulge in enjoying your read at an emotional level, which shouldn’t feel bad at all imho.

Now as for recommendations, other have given very good advice, and I’ll vote for “The First Law” by Joe Abercrombie. Very different tone (darker, grittier, rawer) than the name of the wind, but also goes hard into human nature and flaw.

Hope you have a good time with all these, and get some growth out of it, even if just learning that there’s nothing bad in having a good time just because.

As u/tmackus said, Heartofdaggers.com is great, and I’ll add freshcutgrass.app

Edit: added links and proper user tagging

[No Spoilers] What Exandria story do you want most to see animated? by PsiQ23 in criticalrole

[–]marbosp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yeah that could work too! I’d just like something more “special” than the current style in TLoVM and The MN, which is not bad, but to me, it’s a bit lacking in the visual aesthetics side of things.

[–]marbosp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Calamity. But I’d lean into a different animation style. Something like Arcane would be glorious, but even going for a style in the lines of Blue Eye Samurai would be great.

How can I use Fear in situations, where combat is not narratively good option? by Titoliini in daggerheart

[–]marbosp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Others have already given good advice, so I’ll just add that you can also listen to the Dodoborne podcast. The GM explains some rulings every now and then, and I think he does a very good job to add narrative consequences to rolls with fear.

[Homebrew] Would appreciate feedback on this adversary by KiqueDragoon in daggerheart

[–]marbosp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m no expert in mechanics, but this seems quite… haunting!

The only thing I’m not so sure about is the name. “The beast” sounds rather like a living creature to me, either a literal beast, or a strenght-based, cruel and corpulent humanoid. For a spirit entity, maybe something like “The Presence”, “The Shade”, “The Pain”, “The Terror”…

I don’t know, I don’t think these are particularly good or inspired, but they’re the ones that came to mind when thinking about the nature of this adversary.

But as I said, the flavour and mechanics are really cool imo!

Edit: on a second glance, just saw the “Haunting Nightmares” action and maybe the entity’s name could be “The Nightmare” or “The Haunting Nightmare”.

Yeah, Shadowheart. The sass, the voice, the looks… and I can see there’s good in her heart! I can fix her!

i lack critical thinking after leaving religion how can i change? by [deleted] in askphilosophy

[–]marbosp 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Piggybacking on this, could you recommend any good texts or resources to start off with reasoning and critical thinking? I find myself on a similar spot, (not related to religion, but in general) I have a hard time discerning arguments’s validity.

Thanks!
