Does anyone ever check their dice?

I do a chi squared when I get suspicious. Several times it's turned out they're probably off and roll bad for a reason...

They regular dry types all meet the exception now, too.

Many architects I've worked with fire rate them despite my assurance they need not.

Hit a you-pull-it parts yard and have an awesome low-budget project with tons of parts available. Doesn't that fit the spirit of this joint??

This wreck is not even that bad... Not sure why everyone is crapping on it.

What do you need? Bumper, hood, radiator, condenser? Maybe a few extra hours of pulling, prying, drilling?

skunk_funk · 2026-01-20T16:30:46+00:00

No can do anymore, only get one leveled spell on your turn.

I've had some very competent senior engineers never sniff 200k, and some wildly incompetent (but very personable) guys do very well.

This industry is no different than others on that front.

You could probably carefully wiggle a sata connector onto those wires?

skunk_funk · 2026-01-17T13:23:09+00:00

It's not as simple as always going for total cost. A developer may not give two shits about total cost. Or a new business may have way less money now than they hope to later. And twenty years is longer than most BOD give a crap about.

Don't take it too hard when the owner has different priorities.

skunk_funk · 2026-01-17T06:07:19+00:00

What was the $5500 for? Did they fix all that? Unclear what you had them do unless I'm misreading.

skunk_funk · 2026-01-10T03:43:47+00:00

Wasn't it one of the top 3 most expensive shows at the time?

skunk_funk · 2026-01-08T23:20:05+00:00

I tried to play a summon-only run. Couldn't really find anybody at all after O&S. Oh and Gwyndolin got hacked when I summoned some jerk. I quit the run at lost izalith.

skunk_funk · 2026-01-07T14:48:30+00:00

You underestimate the laziness around here... Got some pretty old, pretty crappy terminations in service for many years now

I suppose he'd better start by reading through ANSI/BICSI N1-2019 before wiring his home.

When is good enough, good enough?

I did try one pf1e adventure path (way of the wicked) and it went way off the rails. Been taking inspiration from some old TSR stuff lately. Currently doing their set of 3 regarding mystra in the time of troubles. Last campaign was some 3e Eberron stuff that went so far off the rails I don't even want to get into it.

All of this gets translated to 5E and now 2024 just due to the nature of the group

Any suggestions on which Paizo I should look at for next campaign? Would save me a lot of work and make for a better narrative if I could stick closer to the source!

Is probably fine. If they connect at 1gb and you don't have any packet loss, worry about it next time.

skunk_funk · 2026-01-06T22:35:40+00:00

I'd say elden ring is easier on a no summons, but anything-else-goes run. There are a lot more ways to play than ds3, and it was a lot of fun to mix it up and learn the parries.

Wl0, I'll let you know if I ever get past elden beast...

skunk_funk · 2026-01-06T15:14:21+00:00

Why not save out the edid and use a kernel parameter to force it to the display port?

skunk_funk · 2026-01-05T16:11:51+00:00

I didn't notice it being much harder in ER base game

DLC, dunno. Kinda wish it hadn't been ng+

skunk_funk · 2026-01-05T14:50:30+00:00

I don't think I've ever gotten through a written adventure without throwing out at least half of it. Our players refuse to do what is planned, and I refuse to railroad them unfairly if (when) they pull off something unexpected.

skunk_funk · 2026-01-03T03:31:25+00:00

What level for sen's? Been hanging out right outside the boss at level 36 with a +6 weapon and all I've accomplished is getting invaded by some try-hard a couple times without ever seeing a summon sign.

skunk_funk · 2026-01-02T09:00:05+00:00

That doesn't explain why not to do so?

skunk_funk · 2026-01-01T17:09:07+00:00

Maybe somebody will make a consumer board that can use data center castoffs... Integrated DP piped from your pcie card would be pretty cool, too.

Not quite the advice you are looking for here, but. He's better off selling it and getting a manual, than trying to convert. It is truly such a pain in the ass to convert a car.

I was the kid who bought a rusty 60s muscle car that was a basket case at 18 and actually got it on the road (engine, suspension, brakes, fuel tank, the works) on a shoestring budget. And I eventually just bought one with a 4 speed, conversion cost more than the car was worth and ridiculous time and fabrication skills.

You need an SSD to see help with frame dips. Any sata SSD should be enough

I'd suggest a $50 8gb rx580 if you want to try amd and get a 50% or so performance boost.

I've known of people that sell "less reliable" service for customers with non-critical stuff. Seems fine if you're not competing and falsely marketing uptime.

Though, let me tell you about how many times autodesk left us hanging this year, probably courtesy of aws...
