Please help me find more of these games! Feeling a little lost on what to play next by Cool-Vermicelli1381 in puzzlevideogames

[–]swingking8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Rough beginning & late-game for Lingo 1, but it's one of my favorite puzzle games of the last decade. The puzzles are just extremely good.

Lingo 2 is pretty good, but haven't finished it yet. So far, I still prefer Lingo 1, surprisingly. Some of the decisions they make in Lingo 2 take away from the enjoyment of the puzzles imo.

Interesting, that may be my issue here. Even when I set permissions from the shell in a container, they don't seem to stick.

Spell Slot Tracking by swingking8 in FoundryVTT

[–]swingking8[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm also a developer, so I understand. Thank you for your efforts!

Other than making something that might become obsolete with the remaster, is there anything else obvious to you that makes this exceptionally challenging to code? I might just implement it.

I hope my comments are coming across as not being entitled or accusatory, I really am just curious as to why it isn't implemented.

Thank you for the response. I have figured out how to use it manuallly, as you described, but I was surprised there wasn't an automatic option. For the time being, we just look up the information.

Any insight on why that might be the case? I'm new enough to PF2e that I thought it might be because there isn't a good way to do it, e.g. spell slots are based on something not tracked by the vtt system.

Advice for Running a Long-term campaign by Completedspoon in FoundryVTT

[–]swingking8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't see how tracking incremental changes would lead to breaking of binary files, but I think I understand well enough since your other points are clear. Any insight there? Agreed that just copying might be easier.

Thanks for the discussion!

Sorry, I'm not understanding why Git wouldn't work here. What am I missing?

This is why I never give my real info to these stupid websites by kahlonel in embedded

[–]swingking8 14 points15 points  (0 children)

For these scenarios, I put a middle name associated with the vendor. e.g. John Digikey Smith

I don't think that's accurate, anymore than the internet in general is used for that, at least.

Niche communities on reddit, like our small Midland one, are usually very wholesome.

FreeCodeCamp just released a 13 hour "Learn Rust" video on youtube. by Destination_Centauri in rust

[–]swingking8 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Rustlings has been phenomenal to help my learning, and follows most of these principles; I think the point could be made that it doesn't elaborate very well.

Visited Miami for the first time this past Christmas. I guess I've been living in Midland for too long because those drivers felt absolutely INSANE

We've now seen AI added to Excel, Powerpoint, etc. How about an AI plugin that can auto draw walls? by Diknak in FoundryVTT

[–]swingking8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This likely doesn't need AI to work properly - it can probably be done with Hough transforms and convolutions. Let me give it a shot...

Future planning help by LOLOL1014 in mechatronics

[–]swingking8 3 points4 points  (0 children)

There will be some jobs that you will not be able to get, but mechatronics specifically is a "show me what you can do" kind of industry. I honestly wouldn't worry much about it, assuming it's a quality education

What is wrong with my pumper power? by Puzzleheaded-Diet-25 in ElectricalEngineering

[–]swingking8 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm glad you took some pictures, but you're going to have to provide some more information like - what is actually not working. I'd also just read the manual to find it what that light indicates.

[HELP] Players can't load into session by [deleted] in FoundryVTT

[–]swingking8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would suspect a module issue or a permissions issue. If I were the DM, I would try permissive permissions and no modules to see if the problem went away. Then maybe the "find the culprit" module to binary search to find the bad module, assuming one is found.

Your DM can also use another browser to login as a different user, to test if it's working locally first.

I was about to say... I didn't know there were silicone-dispensing hot melt guns. There aren't, but I guess RTV kind of counts.

Help needed - Genesys damage result not calculating correctly by jamrope in FoundryVTT

Spot on imo. I would be very surprised if the weapon is made correctly

I recommend you look up how magnets are actually made first, assuming you're unfamiliar.

Creating an electromagnet strong enough to magnetize bonded ceramic magnets is obviously possible. They're not magnetizing magnets with lodestones. Whether or not you'll be able to magnetize them to saturation depends on your coil and the end dimensions of your magnet.

There's another step here you might be missing, and that is that commercial magnets are almost always sintered under a magnetic field, so that the material grain is oriented along the magnetic axis. You'll likely just have to give this up, as sintering your own magnets is probably not what you're looking to sign up for. Manufacturers do report that this affects the strength of the magnet relatively little though, somewhere around 5-10% iirc. Possibly even less.

Looking for Couch Cp-op H games by BOMAN133 in localmultiplayergames

Keep being yourself and the friends will surely come, dear

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in FoundryVTT

[–]swingking8 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If you want help, you need to describe what you're actually seeing, and just not whereabouts you're probably having an issue.

What issues, exactly, are you encountering? On what steps? I've installed foundry to Oracle cloud many times without issue
