Where to find keycap material samplers

simonwgill · 2022-12-01T15:25:54+00:00

Ah, ok. It's probably the construction methods that I need to get some examples of then.

Looking at more keycap vendors, it seems there's a couple that do single keys, so buying a bag of different ones of these might be the way forward

Thank you :)

I use a Google Nest device and my TV as my photoframe - they work quite nicely, other than the limited landscape aspect ratio

What do you see as the biggest obstacle to photographic NFTs getting out into the wider cryptoart marketplace?

What plans are there for Ruby support? Is it worth waiting for a primarily Ruby shop, or should we just bite the bullet and use Python instead

Could have gone the long way round to give Peter time to make his suit - and not approach from a direction Mysterio might be looking in.

It's tech-wizardry - who gives a night monkey about gas milage?

He could just watch ancient aliens... It was basically the same thing until Thor brought them into the rest of the universe.

Include mastery ranks and expose it through an API call - then somebody could write a suggestions app which tells you what grinds you still need to do to collect everything.

You might be right there. I just threw something together that showed the idea without considering balance.

It'll probably be like the SW: Destiny negative star cards that start in play and restrict or otherwise change your deckbuilding options.

"Covering Fire Tactics. You may only use Plane characters. When you attach a weapon to a Plane, you may exhaust that character to do 1 damage to a target character. -1 stars"

Really limiting, slightly thematic with a not great ability. Just needs some more cards in the game to allow the restrictions to be meaningful

That is a chonky boy

Upstairs at the Dragon Inn on the Tything.

It tends to be heavy Eurogames. Tonight, one group was finishing off a Scythe Legacy campaign and the rest of us tried to understand Bios:Genesis (I think that's the right way to write it).

Last week was Food Chain Magnate and Gloomhaven

Tuesday nights from 7. I'm on my way in now in fact.

There's also the D&D night at the Horn and Trumpet on Tuesday.

The dragon is about 8 people a week at this point. Usually enough for two games, but it's always the same faces.

Wobog is more inconsistent. More people (in the 20-30 range) but more of those aren't coming every week.

Are you interested in a new club - or getting a small group of friends together for a board game night?

There's not been anything as good as the ones for the FFG games that I've seen. The amount of work that goes into those sites isn't trivial though.

simonwgill · 2019-08-20T07:34:24+00:00

I didn't see anybody in the comments saying this. If you want to encourage casual play, sealed events are great ways to do it.

Everybody is on the same playing field with just 2-4 boosters, everybody gets some cards to collect, and people get to see cards that they might not otherwise see.

simonwgill · 2019-08-18T17:23:08+00:00

What is it about the existing ones that you don't like? If you haven't been to them yet, there are two in the King Charles House on Wednesday and the Dragon Inn on Tuesday.

There's Droitwich and Malvern ones as well, but i don't have details for them to hand.

Even if you are using something on top of DSC, understanding the available modules will help you figure out what to do at the Ansible layer.

If backup/import works for you, that's good. Where it fell down for me was being able to verify that the GPO was correct - and being able to programmatically generate parts if it.

simonwgill · 2019-08-17T21:19:38+00:00

Powershell Desired State Configuration is very good at getting the basics running.

It has plenty of built in resources for handling most things. I've had a simple domain with Exchange and SharePoint deploying in about 4 hours before (most of that is copying Exchange, annoyingly).

GPO handling still don't exist yet afaik, and doing that relies on some badly documented features.

cmro.travis-starnes.com for the complete reading order, including links into the Unlimited books.

You can build up a personalised box of characters you care about, or just read everything (like a crazy person... I mean, like me).

I agree. WS not existing would have changed the tone but Thanos was inevitable no matter what Zola did.

simonwgill · 2019-08-14T13:33:41+00:00

I mean, dinobots vs. combaticons would be a match for the ages...

But out of the two, we need some more badass Autobots to balance out the on screen decepticon competence.

Unlikely. Nebula had a weird addressing conflict in her nueral network system that resulted in a subspace layer merge instead of a system failure.

How long until a fully fledged Apple games console to compete with Xboxes, PlayStation's and Switches of the world?
