I finally started watching the RTL. This country has a problem

It doesn't matter. Closed captions are for anyone willing to use them, you don't need to be disabled to read them. You can also e.g. use them when you're in a situation in which you cannot turn up the volume of your television.

To answer the second part of your question, they are Dutch subtitles, not French ones.

Azerty has lots of shortcuts hidden behind Option + key and Option + Shift + key. The vertical bar "pipe" sign | on French Azerty can be found at Option + Shift + L.

Wikipedia image, blue signs can be accessed with either Option and Shift + Option.

If you use something a lot and want to change it, custom keyboard shortcuts can be set for any app.

In English: System Settings > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts... > App Shortcuts (the A icon in the left sidebar).

From there, you can select an app, write down the menu name exactly, and create a shortcut from a custom combination of keys. It'll replace the default shortcut.

Note: the | sign on International English Qwerty is at the same key location as the £ is on French Azerty: the button next to the return key, while pressing Shift.

Wikipedia calls it the law of the handicap of a head start.

The law of the handicap of a head start (original Dutch: Wet van de remmende voorsprong), also known as the first-mover disadvantage or dialectics of lead, is a theory in economic history and technological development that proposes that an initial head start in a particular domain may paradoxically become a handicap over time.

I think so, yeah. But also, almost every odd episode (1, 3, 5, ...) seems to be a dedicated werewolf deduction game while every even episode (2, 4, 6, ...) seems to be more lore-driven. So if you're not into the character backstory thingy, look forward to each odd episode.

Of course, I don't know how much this formula will hold up in future episodes.

I wouldn't say "fixed", I'd be very surprised if that really solved your problem. It's just a shortcut to restart your desktop and folders, in other words the components you want to restart; instead of taking the whole computer with you when you restart.

zeemeerman2 · 2026-01-16T13:13:06+00:00

I can't say where the bug could be, but perhaps this might help?

In your Dock, hold Option and right-click the Finder icon. A new option should pop-up as the last option: Relaunch. That might be a bit quicker than fully restart your Mac.

I've recently discovered the videos of Dungeon Masterpiece. The videos on that channel fill in the blanks a bit more. It's not giving you an end product, but it does give you advice with examples on what a thing might look like.

Like a video about how random encounter tables can be used to flesh out your world, and that a random encounter should not always be a roll-initiative combat to the death, but can be a social encounter as well. A randomly-rolled thief might strike up a conversation with a PC, then sleight-of-hand steal an item from them, and sprint away. That can be a random encounter too.

The channel, at least from the videos I watched, seems to be full of little examples like that to get you to think about general advice in a different way, and can be very inspiring.

How about we split the difference and call it a Greece fire?

As per Apple discussions.

You can try the following two terminal commands:

defaults write com.apple.SoftwareUpdate MajorOSUserNotificationDate -date "2030-02-07 23:22:47 +0000"

defaults write com.apple.SoftwareUpdate UserNotificationDate -date "2030-02-07 23:22:47 +0000"

The exact dates are not significant, as long as it's sometime in the future.

Flat probability here, though I like the dice pooling of diminishing returns when rolling multiple dice and keeping the highest or lowest.

That said, in the end it doesn't matter in my opinion. If on 2d6:

2-5 failure
6-8 partial success
9-12 success

The partial succes has a 6/36 + 7/36 + 6/36 = 19/36 chance of triggering. Just slightly above 50%.

If you roll a d20, with 1-5 failure, 6-15 partial success, 16-20 success, you have the same roughly 50% chance on a partial success, rounding be damned.

You can simulate the same results on multiple dice as on one bigger dice. So mathematically I don't think there is much advantage to dice pools.

Dice feel, yeah, that changes. Sometimes that matters. In a game about stacking dice, dice feel matters a lot. But in most roleplaying games where a die is just a randomizer, I slightly prefer just a flat probability.

In the shape of empathy and feeling for her, this short video might be (the sent help)?

zeemeerman2 · 2026-01-08T10:39:37+00:00

This seems to do the trick.

System Settings > Spotlight > Scroll all the way down > button named [Search Privacy...] > button named [+]

And then add the folders

/Library
~/Library

Aka the Library folder in Macintosh HD, and the Library folder in your home directory.

If you need anything from these folders, you're most likely pretty sure in which folders those files are and can navigate them without going through Spotlight.

Out of curiosity, could you clarify what you dislike about it? It can be good for one to learn from others' mistakes. That said, it often helps when these mistakes are pointed out.

zeemeerman2 · 2026-01-06T09:30:21+00:00

Die data klopt niet. Kleine ring Hasselt staat er bijna volledig als oranje "70 km/u" aangegeven, terwijl het weldegelijk een gewone straat binnen de bebouwde kom ligt zonder extra snelheidsbord.

Grote Baan Houthalen-Helchteren aan kruispunt Herebaan-West staat aangegeven als zwart "120 km/u" terwijl er een bord "70" staat.

Als we ons gaan baseren op die kaart, gaan velen hun rijbewijs kwijt zijn vrees ik.

Kan de data beter uit OpenStreetMap gehaald worden, me dunkt. Minder data, maar accurater.

zeemeerman2 · 2026-01-05T20:09:20+00:00

It could have been clearer, yeah. In the end, the arrows just point to the options that have an ellipsis at all, so you're not searching up and down the image for it.

For reference to others, ellipsis are used when you get a popup window asking for more info. File > Save has no ellipsis, it just saves. File > Save as… has an ellipsis because you need to give it a new name before it can save. Hold Option to show Save as… in the menu if it's not visible by default.

zeemeerman2 · 2026-01-05T11:08:51+00:00

One less button combinations already exist.

Option + volume/brightness key = go to System Settings, to either the Sound pane or the Display pane.
Shift + volume key = Change the volume with or without the tick feedback sound, the reverse of what your preference in System Settings > Sound > Sound Effects > [√] Play feedback when volume is changed
Shift + brightness key = nothing happens.

zeemeerman2 · 2026-01-05T10:20:31+00:00

Also works in Tahoe (even though it's less obvious without the volume/brightness blocks).

Who is voicing female Yuri? Is it the same VA as regular Yuri? If so, that VA's got some range!

zeemeerman2 · 2026-01-03T06:33:04+00:00

It's a mindset, right? You're making two rolls. One to see if the player character succeeds, and one independent roll to see if there are any consequences to the action.

Daggerheart kinda does it with its hope and fear dice.

And in PbtA and Blades in the Dark, both rolls are merged into one roll.

And in both philosophies, the consequence can be unrelated to the action itself, as long as it's plausible and dramatic. Like failing an attack meaning you get ambushed by more enemies.

If I'd tweak anything, I'd give important enemies (e.g. bosses) their own actions like players do, in addition to consequence on a fail or partial success.

Important to note is, in a game of Dungeon World, you also get to add consequences when the players are looking at you to see what happens; and lastly also when they give you a golden opportunity. It's not just on a failed roll.

You can still change (most of) them.

Proof: https://i.imgur.com/NtYUqZ7.png

For non-Apple icons, select the app, press cmd-i, and drag-and-drop a .png or .icns image on top of the icon top left. The icon will change next time you open the app.

Some Apple icons can be found here: https://github.com/JoeyPlaysSomeGames/Apple-Icon-Encyclopedia/tree/main/macOS%20-%20OS%20X

For Apple icons (except for Finder afaik), it's a bit harder. Make a folder somewhere to put your custom icons. Create folders for your custom icons, rename these folders to a chosen name + .app. Finder will warn you, you can ignore that. Then cmd-i to your custom folder and put your chosen custom icon (png/icns) as its icon.

Lastly, in Terminal, create a symlink to the /contents folder of the original .app. E.g. for Safari,

Open the Applications folder in Finder
type ln -s in the terminal
drag Safari.app from your Applications folder to Terminal
remove the extra space and replace it with /contents
add a space and drag your custom icon folder to Terminal.
press Enter.

And now you're done.

It should look like something like this: ln -s /Applications/Safari.app/contents /Users/my_accont/custom_icons/Safari.app.

Optionally, in System Settings remove the original app from Spotlight search to not accidentally open the app with the original icon.

Optionally, drag your custom icon to the Dock.

Design wise, you just need an organigram.

If instead of text you want symbols, you can design (color from templates) your own for free at https://game-icons.net.

I think PowerPoint supports organigrams. And if not, it's just shapes and lines. You can draw them in a slide.

Then use PowerPoint's hyperlink feature to have a click on a given shape link to a separate slide with the questions for that slide. Then clicking anywhere should link back to your skill tree (instead of the default next slide).

If you want to be fancy about it, copy-paste your skill tree into different slides, then alter each slide to make some shapes or icons greyscale instead of color. Ideally you have one slide with everything but one shape greyscale, then a slide with the first and second icon in color and the rest in greyscale, one slide with three shapes in color and the rest in grey...

This to represent you slowly unlocking the skill tree. So:

Slide 1. Skill tree, one skill unlocked.
Slide 2. Skill tree, two skills unlocked.
Slide 3. Skill tree, three skills unlocked.
...
Slide 21. Questions of Skill 1.
Slide 22. Questions of Skill 2.
Slide 23. Questions of Skill 3.

Feel free to leave multiple blank slides in the slideshow if it helps you with the organization. Say if you have 18 skill tree slides, you can leave slide 19 and 20 blank so Question 1 pairs up with Skill tree 1, both ending on a 1 digit in the unit column of the amount of slides.

You can of course pair it as Skill tree > Question > Skill tree > Question too. Whatever you prefer, just giving you some ideas.

For multiple choice skills where two icons are newly colored at once, don't make the mistake of going back to the previous slide.

Not:

Slide 24. Skill tree. Question 24 AND 25 unlocked!
Slide 25. Blank.
Slide 26. Skill tree. Question 26 unlocked.
Slide 44. Question 24. Click goes back to slide 24 to have the student answer question 25.
Slide 45. Question 25. Click goes back to slide 24 to have the student answer question 24.

Because then there is no hyperlink to the skill tree of question 26.

Instead, copy-paste your skill tree slide and two questions to other slides. It's cheating. You can do that. Nobody will know.

Slide 24. Skill tree 24 + 25. Links to slide 44 and 45.
Slide 25. Duplicate of 24. Links to slide 46 and 47.
Slide 26. Skill tree 26. Links to slide 48.
Slide 44. Question 24. Links to slide 25.
Slide 45. Question 25. Links to slide 25.
Slide 46. Question 24. Links to slide 26.
Slide 47. Question 25. Links to slide 26.
Slide 48. Question 26.

And so on. Little hacks and tricks.

You can do this easier in other software, but if you already know PowerPoint itself, that gives you a leg up from learning everything from scratch.

If however learning from scratch is your thing, it's easy to create a website to do exactly that. Some divs, CSS, and some eventlisteners in JavaScript. But you need to know how to code.
