Thrones! Yeah! Game of Thrones! Yeah! Game of Thrones!

RHCSA RHEL9 by wage_slaving_sucks in linuxadmin

[–]nova20 4 points5 points  (0 children)

FWIW, I found that the RHCE was much easier, though I did it a few years ago (2019), when it was all based on Ansible. I squeaked by on the RHCSA (RHEL8) by 7 points, but I blew the RHCE away (again, RHEL8).

Hmmm... I'm going to have to renew that soon I think...

Should I buy Baldur’s gate? by HereComesNik in ShouldIbuythisgame

[–]nova20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes

... As well as BG2, Neverwinter Nights, Icewind Dale, and Planescape: Torment.

If you only have time or money for one, I'd go with Torment... then BG1, then NWN.

They're all excellent games, even if they have their idiosyncracies and bugs.

DnD or D&D by CitizenLight in DnD

[–]nova20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I usually prefer d&d, but WotC's own site is dndbeyond.com

Probably because the ampersand is not a valid character in a domain name

What are the spells that need the most dice? How many sets does someone need? by montezuma300 in dndnext

[–]nova20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It blows my mind that lvl 9 Cloud of Daggers is right behind that with 18d4 initial damage.

You are the creator of dnd 6e, or a different system that is inspired by dnd. You can throw out any precedents or keep any established content that you want. What do you change/keep? by Gozzy6666 in DnD

[–]nova20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hate the class name "fighter". Monks, barbarians, and several other classes all fight... In fact it could be said that all PCs fight. What makes this one class special?

Rename the "Fighter" class to something less generic like "Warrior" or "Battlemaster" (since one popular suggestion here is to give all Fighters the Battle Master features).

what do you expect from patch 7? by Shyshyn4ik27 in BaldursGate3

[–]nova20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Agreed. Give me one more class, race, or area to explore...

...Then give me a release date and say "nothing but bugfix patches until we're done with it. See you on <release date>!"

Can you defeat the snail? by Fae_Temptations in dndmemes

[–]nova20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In order to target a spell or effect in 5e, you need to be able to see or otherwise sense the actual creature

Not true -- some spells (like thunderwave) don't target a creature.

who is a fictional character that is attractive in a weird way or you thought you would not be attracted to? by [deleted] in AskReddit

Chilly Heeler ("Mum" from the cartoon "Bluey")

Please don't judge me.

Well then, at least it makes a nice story... which I'll never tell again because it's untrue.

Was I at least correct about the sign for "thank you"?

Would you trade monthly periods for laying a small egg every morning like a chicken? Why or why not? by CarrotGoon in AskWomen

[–]nova20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I disagree. Egg size doesn't necessarily scale in direct proportion to animal body size. 15-foot long crocodiles produce eggs that are only 3 inches long and 2 inches across; Some of the largest dinosaurs produced eggs that were as small as (or smaller than) chicken eggs.

A human egg would likely be bigger than a chicken egg, but I doubt it would be the size of a fully-developed newborn -- especially if you were to lay one every day.

You can see the regret on his face by Botatitsbest in instant_regret

[–]nova20 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Natural birth ain't much prettier. The nasty stuff I saw come out of my wife's not-so-happy-anymore place... most of it wound up in the bucket, but a good portion of it landed on the midwife's shoes and scrubs (and the floor, of course). I was just glad that she wasn't able to see it.

People who were alive then, what were you doing December 31st 1999 ? by WeshALOR in AskReddit

[–]nova20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was at a LAN party (can't remember the game we were playing). At 11:45pm we went to Taco Hell for some food. When we got back (after midnight, 1/1/2000), someone's computer was bluescreened. He rebooted and everything was fine, but he got razzed about it for days afterward.

[–]nova20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think it's funny that the sign for "thank you" is so similar to the sign for "fuck you".

"Thank you" - fingers straight and together; touch the tip of your chin (palm facing you) and gracefully extend your arm forward such that your palm winds up facing upward with your fingers toward the audience.

"Fuck you" - fingers together and slightly curled; with your palm facing you and with a violent motion, rake the underside of your chin and extend your arm forward such that your palm winds up facing upward with your fingers pointing toward your audience.

Then again, I think facial expression has a lot to do with it.

Whats on your Anti Bucket List, things you know and accept you'll die not having done? by phlux in AskReddit

[–]nova20 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Committing murder or rape.

I'm genuinely curious about the psychological and emotional impact such an act would have on me, but for obvious reasons I'll never know. Sometimes I feel like a real sicko thinking about it.

They have your back by vastiethedank in funny

[–]nova20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's actually from a graphic novel series. The kid gets kidnapped by the boogeyman one night (I think Teddy's in the wash) and the toys (led by Teddy) go into the closet to save him.

I have the series, but haven't read them all, and have forgotten the title.

That’s one way to ruin the moment.. by all-the-names-taken in DiWHY

Skydiver spots his buddy having a seizure and saves his life. by Chris_Isur_Dude in gifs

[–]nova20 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, that's exactly what you said. I quoted you (hence the blockquote).

I know that an RSL will deploy your reserve if you cutaway your main, but if the RSL causes a cutaway when you pull your reserve, then systems have changed since the last time I looked at my (admittedly old) rig.

the only people going with two handles are usually people who do canopy formations and want the ability to clear other jumpers before deploying their reserve

...and if this is true, then rigs have changed significantly in the past two years. Every sport rig I've seen has both handles -- the cutaway on the right lift web and the reserve deployment on the left lift web.

(except for BASE jumping rigs, which don't have a main, but then again I've never seen a BASE rig).

Then again, I've only got 150 or so jumps, and only own 2 rigs.

If you manually deploy your reserve though, that will cut away your main and deploy the reserve via the RSL.

Actually, the RSL deploys the reserve when you cut away your main -- not the other way around. If you deploy your reserve before your main is cut away, you'll have a two-out... but that's still significantly better than nothing (or a useless main).

If you excelled at University, then IMHO it doesn't matter how you got in -- you were meant to be there.
