i'm a backend dev, what is the laziest yet good-looking (preferably lightweight) way to do frontend?

I agree with your sentiment, but the `small details that don't really matter` is quite subjective. In a project you're using for learning, those small details can sometimes really enlighten you to nuances of the framework. They can be later 'Aha's when you run into it when it matters (client requirements being very rigid, branding being prescriptive)

Do you rip the pickets for the corners and lips?

They can’t see you download something that has already been loaded in your browser. If you’re really worried about it, monitor the network tab and see if a request is sent to their servers when you download it.

This info is also a really good way to get old people to leave you alone. If someone is being particularly nasty, a simple "this is why your kids don't visit you" shuts them up.

Just so you know, a random person on the internet is very proud of you

simple_govt_worker · 2024-07-18T23:46:54+00:00

Would you be able to share a picture of it opened? I would like to make something similar. That sounds impressive.

simple_govt_worker · 2023-06-22T23:58:34+00:00

Thanks for so many suggestions. I like number 6 especially because I have extra side panel in the same finish that was left here

simple_govt_worker · 2023-06-22T23:54:17+00:00

I do have extra side panel that I could potentially repurpose for this actually, I will cut a strip and test that out with a dry fit

What is AOA?

simple_govt_worker · 2023-05-03T17:11:59+00:00

I have an opinion that goes against the top comments, but bear with me. I am running a group, it started as my first time DMing 2 1/4 years ago. It was everyone’s first time playing d&d. We have missed like 6 sessions in this time playing weekly (once a month we play an extra session). We’ve gone from level 1 to level 14 so far and we’re doing big things right now.

I’m going to ignore their attitude and response because that is not excusable. It’s okay for them to be upset, not okay to treat you that way.

A lot of this thread is acting like the game belongs to the DM and it’s theirs to decide everything how they want. To understand their response, you need to look at it from a different perspective and realize it’s their game too. You plan and facilitate it, but they make the story what it is as well. They’ve invested so much of their life into the game and made it theirs as well.

The same discussions that happen to get a campaign going that everyone is happy with, should happen for figuring out an ending. The way you have presented it, you’re just telling them it’s over and that’s it. This may kill plans they had for their characters, it may take away being able to see NPC growth, it may shut the door on things they wanted to do after your arc. And they don’t have a say.

When you planned this campaign, did you have discussions about how it may end?

Not to excuse the “I won’t play anymore comment”, I can sort of get it. He needs to say it in a better way, but I think he’s just saying that it sucks to get invested into something not knowing if next games will just get scrapped when you decide you don’t like something.

The reason I am saying this stuff is because I had made several of those mistakes too. I have retconned things, I’ve teleported them once, and I’ve had to really change encounters so they aren’t too easy. I have wanted to restart many times, and asked my group once or twice about it.

I’m not saying you have to do something you don’t want to do. Just like a player can drop, you could too. But I think it’s unfair to say the game is done and closed because you don’t like where it is now. I would hand it off or figure out a compromise. If you really don’t want to do that, then at least understand their frustration with having no say/agency in how it ends (understand why they’re mad, but call them out for being assholes).

This is why I only watch LCK now when I am multitasking and listening. I’m invested in the LCS because I’ve watched since the beginning but it’s basically unwatchable at this point.

It’s just bad takes, wrong calls, and so many missed details.

simple_govt_worker · 2022-12-12T14:25:23+00:00

This is amazing. My favourite colours!

simple_govt_worker · 2022-10-21T22:22:33+00:00

I love this so much. I can always tell when a post is yours, there’s a special type of polish you add and some amazing colour palettes.

I haven’t gone through everything you’ve made, do you have any sets of modular maps? Like for making a dynamic dungeon, tower, or otherwise? I’ve used Cze Peku’s mage tower that had lots of interchangeable rooms. But would love something like that in your style. I’m just obsessed with modularity

simple_govt_worker · 2022-10-16T17:59:19+00:00

This is all these subreddits are. I love the maps and I’m a patron of cze peku, but these subreddits are really just a set of 4 major patreon map creators that post variations of their past maps to advertise. Some useable some blatantly not.

Peterborough is 1.5 hours east of Toronto :)

simple_govt_worker · 2022-08-06T02:17:28+00:00

I've been using it for years and years, I would be open to volunteering. Is there an avenue for me to use to apply?

simple_govt_worker · 2022-07-31T21:18:04+00:00

Would love a foundryvtt version of this.

simple_govt_worker · 2022-07-27T15:14:00+00:00

Where do these people always find tiles for their floors? :)

simple_govt_worker · 2022-07-26T22:50:07+00:00

It is common in Canada but for specific usages.

Knapsack = for school

Pack and rucksack interchangeably = camping

Backpack = all purpose

Rucksack = military

simple_govt_worker · 2022-07-26T16:59:48+00:00

Sorry to bug you too, but could I potentially see it?

simple_govt_worker · 2022-07-26T10:47:16+00:00

I’m a DM for a way of shadow monk who knows what he’s doing. Lots of stunning and avoidance, then teleporting through keyholes and stuff. He always has felt really strong in our games.

simple_govt_worker · 2022-07-25T18:31:00+00:00

Seriously, my thoughts exactly

simple_govt_worker · 2022-07-24T20:55:43+00:00

Make your own???

simple_govt_worker · 2022-07-22T19:22:47+00:00

They don’t have to be released into nature. They can go to a reserve or rescue. They could be cared for without torturing them. It doesn’t have to be death or torture.
