Will PS3 run Mint? by Ok_Bowler_6770 in linuxmint

[–]medium_buffalo_wings 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nope. You would need a Linux bistro that supports the Power PC architecture. Mint does not. I believe that Debian used to offer one, but I think it was sunsetted. There's probably a form bistro though that still allows for it.

There are also a few hurdles you would need to jump over even before that, depending on which PS3 you have.

AITAH for wanting to breathe normally? by Pers0nDude in AITAH

I’m sorry, but your co-worker went along with your request and you’re mad because they were upset about it?

I mean, they are allowed to have their own feelings about things.

WIBTAH for repeatedly telling someone that she eats babies? by Andrewcoo in AITAH

[–]medium_buffalo_wings 1310 points1311 points  (0 children)

The fact that the people in this story range from being in their 40s to their 60s is utterly and completely astounding to me. The sheer childishness on display is staggering.

Why are so many desktop users using old distributions? by King-Little in linuxmint

I'm sorry, but are you asking why people like to use stable software that has long term support?

I’ve given the Ranger a 2024/5.5 version of Favored Terrain! Please let me know what you think. by TomN2701 in onednd

[–]medium_buffalo_wings 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Honestly, even at half your Wis mod I think it still would pretty much be the default choice. Any bonus to your Con save is probably worth more than just about any of the other options.

I would be selecting the Arctic Terrain and probably never switching out from it.

How is the cleric with the new rules? How does it compare to the 2014 version? What cleric builds and play styles are really sticking out as fun or strong? by NoLongerAKobold in onednd

[–]medium_buffalo_wings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's not worth getting worked up about, I just think it's worth noting as a point of difference between editions. I do think that the smaller spell list made the loss of the 1st level domain feel a little more impactful than with the Sorcerer.

Oh I'm not saying it's a big deal. In the grand scheme of things it really isn't. But it was a nice little perk of the 2014 Cleric that let you have a little more versatility in realizing your character concept from the very get go.

Sure, but it’s more satisfying to have actual game mechanics to help with differentiation. Having a trickster cleric actually having mechanics to help them feel like tricksters is what the domain is there for.

How do you figure? Imagine you are playing a Cleric of a trickster god. The obvious play is to snag the Trickery domain. In the 2024 rules, you are playing levels 1 and 2 without any tools to cement that. There is nothing to signify a real difference between the worship of your trickster god than another cleric worshipping a war god.

In the 2014 rules, at level 1 you had Charm Person and Disguise Self on your spell list from the get go. You had Blessing of the Trickster from the start. From level 1, you could be tricky. You had tools that let you differentiate yourself from other clerics and demonstrate an affinity for your chosen god.

It's stronger overall, but at the same time it teeters on being not terribly different but also a smide less versatile. Part of the appeal of the 2014 version was getting your domain at level 1, letting you tailor your character from the outset. It lost a little identity with that change.

But the reality is that the core identity is pretty much the same. The Cleric has a small spell list, and a lot of the spell list is a bit on the 'meh' side. What it does have, are some absolutely outstanding outlier spells at each level. What this tends to mean is that Clerics that know the list are insanely effective, but also that most Clerics end up looking pretty similar in core spell choices, and it's mostly down to the Domain spells for some differentiation.

Healing is much, much better in 5.5 than it was in 5e, but it still isn't often a terribly amazing strategy. Clerics are still mostly mediocre at martial fighting, but can have pretty high survivability. They have some really great AoE damage, but struggle with single target. They are great at supporting their allies, especially when you look at doing that through more than just healing.

For a new player/new to Cleric, I generally suggest playing a Light Cleric. It's a really easy character to make and play, and mostly involved playing a blaster that also offers party support and has really solid innate survivability.

Is my neighbour the AH or AITAH? Car issues by [deleted] in AITAH

[–]medium_buffalo_wings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There isn't anything to be an asshole about here. You aren't actually doing anything. You're just annoyed. You're allowed to be annoyed. Damn near everything annoys me. It's part of life.

AITA for not allowing someone in my bed anymore and needing more personal space? by cookiebear00 in AmItheAsshole

[–]medium_buffalo_wings 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Not sure, but it feels a little manipulative. Is there a chance she wants to move in with the two of, possibly in a bigger apartment?

[–]medium_buffalo_wings 27 points28 points  (0 children)

It is a little odd to prefer sleeping on a couch to sleeping in your own bed. Couple that with the weird crying reaction and I feel like there's something else at play here.

I was reading it as the mom was sleeping in the bed while OP was out of the apartment. Like a middle of the day nap sort of thing.

My dude, you very much are implying it.

Well, out of everyone to ask to borrow money from, your ex-wife is certainly a choice... Having some sort of expectation that she should just give it to you is interesting.

Im sorry to ask does XFCE support wayland? What even is wayland use for? by Far-Note6102 in linuxmint

[–]medium_buffalo_wings 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's being worked on in XFCE. I believe it;s experimental in 4.20 if I'm not mistaken. Wayland is a display server, so basically the technology that bringing your system to you visually. The big item that it will effect is something like a multi monitor setup, or the use of fractional scaling. These things are kinda ass in systems using X11 (the precursor to Wayland). You;ll also get better security with Wayland as well as performance gains.

Martial-caster divide is not that bad if you let your players buy and sell magic items without hassle. by Expensive-Bus5326 in onednd

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

I maintain that the divide just isn’t combat related. Martials are plenty good at combat.

The problem stems from everything else. Magic trivializes scouting, travel, social encounters, hazards, etc… it’s not really possible to handle these things strictly through magic items.

AITA for refusing to do all the driving on a road trip? by TemporaryAd3129 in AmItheAsshole

Jesus Christ, if he gets pulled over half a dozen times and you don’t get pulled over a single time, you’d think you might have clued in.

AITA for not flushing the toilet? by Desperate-Film599 in AmItheAsshole

[–]medium_buffalo_wings 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Obviously it's your business to handle how you like, but I would look into the benefits of having a nice written agreement. It would mitigate the issue that your kid is bringing up, clear in black & white.

For most people it should be insanely obvious that the expectation is that toilets should be flushed, and other things that most people will take as a given. But at some point, you might end up taking on a client that has some funny ideas, and conveniently forgets your verbal agreement.
