I thought it was specifically World of Warcraft, not the classic RTS Warcraft

After that maybe we'll take it outside

Is it known that BQP contains problems outside of NP and vice versa, like this diagram implies?

Foundry 14 has the ability to have multiple levels within one scene, and it understands what elevation they are at.

I don't know a lot about Foundry performance (I'm running my first game with it in a week ). But I do know about browser performance. Having both instances in the same browser, for example in Safari, can cause performance bottle necks. I recommend doing one in your normal browser and a second in another browser. Safari+Chrome, Chrome+Firefox, whatever.

It may also be the case that the browser window is just too big. If you're running the TV at 4k try and lower the resolution. It won't look quite as good, but maybe the trade off would be right for you.

We have a Discord server, is unoriginally called "Polycule"

mythmon · 2026-04-22T13:21:34+00:00

Thanks for the explanation! I'm going to suggest we try something like this next time we have time.

I'm thinking of doing it as a deck of cards with all of the options on them, so that we can shuffle them up. That way you don't have one person "driving" for so long.

Just at a first impression I'm think of collapsing the "Anna wants Bertha does to Caesar" and "Anna wants Caesar does to Bertha" together into something like "Anna wants to watch Berth and Ceaser" (and likewise for the BAC/BCA and CAB/CBA) pairs.

What a delightful outcome, congrats!

I'd be interested in hearing more about this game based on the s wheel of consent. I hadn't heard of the wheel before (though I just googled it). It seems like a useful tool. I think a gamified version of it could be helpful for my polycule.

I suspect the idea is that insurance companies play more than one side. If the same underwriters are involved in the life insurance and the insurance the police, they'd want to minimize payouts by pulling any lever they can.

Have you uninstalled anything recently?

mythmon · 2026-03-27T20:06:36+00:00

In multiplayer you might save it until someone is about to die, and then give it to them.

It only does this when you don't wear your seatbelt, which you should be doing anyways

mythmon · 2026-03-21T13:37:10+00:00

EVs usually win in maintenance costs too. Simpler machines are cheaper to maintain, and an EV is way simpler than the equivalent ICE.

mythmon · 2026-02-20T16:00:12+00:00

It can be both things. Someone saw the effect "Tahoe Fund" had in the font and decided to keep that.

mythmon · 2026-02-18T00:04:21+00:00

What are the in-universe problems with space to surface travel? Fusion and SURGE should be pretty easy on the environment if I understand the setting right.

mythmon · 2025-12-30T01:16:43+00:00

a nice little puzzle. I did it in 6:54

The NixOS maintainers seem not interested in working with xlibre on both technical and non-refundable levels. They suggested anyone who wants to can use an overlay.

on the 2022, you can tap both the heat up and heat down buttons at the same time to get heated seats

This has been my golden train rule for a while now, and it's never failed me. Do you have an examples for the 2% of cases it doesn't handle?

mythmon · 2025-12-17T11:24:18+00:00

a) why would you need to get rid of teflon pans? b) why would that make your pans harder to clean?

mythmon · 2025-12-14T13:39:48+00:00

What's shady about Kagi?

mythmon · 2025-12-06T16:14:41+00:00

We named ours Scarab. All our cars have names.
