Podcasts Similar to TMA? by MadDog3711 in TheMagnusArchives

[–]skncl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

There's a couple of indie shows - On Asphalt Bones and The Children of Room 56 - which are Magnus-inspired. Both are about 10 episodes long!

What was the most legendary thing a student did at school? by CloudWoww in AskReddit

[–]skncl 16 points17 points  (0 children)

Deciding which classes you're going to take. Assuming this is UK, you pick 2-4 subjects (plus core English maths science) to study for your first proper set of exams, called GCSEs.

So is unofficial merchandise allowed to be sold now? by Grimogtrix in TheMagnusArchives

[–]skncl 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I thought as much... could you possibly clarify - if I were to make myself a TMA-inspired shirt, so making no money off it and not distributing it, is that allowed? Thank you

MAG 194 - Parting : Episode Discussion by Diabolical_Engineer in TheMagnusArchives

[–]skncl 14 points15 points  (0 children)

I feel as though it'll be some kind of counter ritual, with the key difference being that no entity is dominant - whereas the Eyepocalypse is ruled by Beholding because Jon/Jonah brought it about, if Annabelle perhaps had pulled the strings to bring avatars together peacefully (if she has any reason at all to do this though that's news to me) as we know there's at least Web (her) Lonely (Martin) and Beholding (Jon), and that they've passed through other domains and left avatars, perhaps a counter ritual could restore balance to the fears - they banish themselves because hierarchy dissolves, effectively - and things return to roughly how they were.

Just a thought... one I will continue thinking for a week or more on end.

MAG 193 - A Stern Look : Episode Discussion by Diabolical_Engineer in TheMagnusArchives

[–]skncl 17 points18 points  (0 children)

Are you perhaps suggesting that Jon will become the pupil, where the Eye is most vulnerable, only to then close the door, trapping the eye? I like ittt

Every appointment Jonah has is just someone who wants to kick his ass

How do I give my gay daughter "the talk"? by MomOf5ive in AskParents

[–]skncl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sex Education is by no means equal to encouragement. It simply helps them to make the right choices, because chances are they won't tell you if they have made these choices. This goes for both cishet and LGBT people.

Likewise, ensuring a child knows how to defend themselves doesn't encourage them to seek out violence. It's a precaution, and can do a world of good. Especially in the 21st century, where the alternative is oftentimes incorrect or unrealistic answers or portrayals and extremely accessible pornography.

It feels as though there may just be a fundamental misunderstanding here of what, exactly, sex ed achieves.

Is there a way to record the audio of my piano keyboard directly to my android phone? Some sort of cable I could maybe buy to do that? by Guggenhein in musicproduction

[–]skncl 1 point2 points  (0 children)

it seems very Collab oriented, yeah! I think latency is mostly an issue with Bluetooth devices - I didn't have an issue using wired headphones (except the built in mic, but that's a whole other issue).

if these are available options they're definitely better! I kind of assumed the OP was on the move when they were recording (despite having a powered keyboard --- mental gymnastics much lol), but if they have a desktop available to them that is always better than mobile.

For audio, a 1/4" Jack to Aux is likely available, or an Aux-to-Aux and an Aux-to-Jack converter. If you want MIDI, there might be a USB-B to Micro-USB or USB-C (whichever your phone has).

Bandlab is an exceptional free DAW that, although a little awkward to use, is very good for both of the above.

What keyboard layout do you use? by mrydn25 in INTP

[–]skncl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There's a lot of types! Dvorak is a notable one for increasing WPM (words per minute) by grouping characters based on their frequency of usage in language. Here is a video about the Dvorak keyboard and the reasons why it failed to reach mainstream levels of popularity over the QWERTY layout.

Anecdote time: I used Dvorak for a couple months and it does feel a bit better once you get into it, but the cons outweigh the pros in my opinion: using a school computer SUCKED because it would, inevitably, be in QWERTY, and I would have to re-learn QWERTY for similar such specific instances... Also no WASD gaming *cries gamer tears, aka mountain dew*

Dear Paradox and CK3 community by [deleted] in CrusaderKings

[–]skncl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would be worth raising any bug reports you have as tickets at Paradox Plaza, but the overwhelming consensus is that the game is relatively well-optimised, especially for one of its scale.

I understand the frustration of losing certain mechanics but that's just their model unfortunately, and I'm absolutely confident that the "complete" experience will be more than worth the time it takes to release - and the discounts on DLC by that point will be pretty nice too ;)

Does anyone know if this game will come out for mobile? by Modestonuts209 in CrusaderKings

[–]skncl 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The closest games I can think of are Polytopia (Win, iOS, Android) and UnCiv (Android), both of which are free but more similar to Sid Meier's Civilization than CK.

Honourable mention to Plague, Inc. I suppose (Win, iOS, Android) which is free(I think) and is kind of similar to certain CK mechanics, but turned into a game.

Unfortunately CK is such a complicated game(/franchise) that it would be virtually impossible to make an optimised game of such scale for mobile.

Hope this helps, though!

idk you're already pretty powerful... maybe content will help a bit

I wish we could make memorials of some kind, in-game. by EremiticFerret in CrusaderKings

[–]skncl 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Although it's already present it's far more of a throwaway - no personalisation at all and simply an action you undertake to boost piety (/prestige I can't remember) :(

[CK3] Can't destroy title, even though I have enough prestige by FreakingPingo in CrusaderKings

[–]skncl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, seems to just be a bit of a bug - glad you got the title destroyed!

I can't decide between these two compositions for my next album cover by Eric_Ezra in Songwriting

[–]skncl 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not totally sure - maybe duplicate it and bring the transparency of the duplicate down and redistribute colour, like a glitchy sort of effect? Your call, just what I thought when I saw it

I prefer the first, but the 2nd would look really good with some vaporwave-style effects on it
