  • seems my 'vpn' was disabled due to spam, but i'm not on a vpn. (i wasn't spamming either). what can i do?

  • I'm going to make a lot of assumptions here:

    • that image generator thing posts directly to lemmy (otherwise why would it be relevant to mention?)
    • that image generator thing posts from whatever IP address (and thus country) it's running in, most likely a different one than yours)
    • you added a comment soon after posting the image, from your own app/browser, and thus your IP address

    Lemmy (or specifically .world?) saw this as you posting twice in rapid succession from two different locations, which it associates with vpn spambots, and voila?

  • I also support piracy for games that don't have functional demos, not sure if stardew valley has one.

    And for people like kids and students without much disposable income. I pirated a couple in that time, and bought many whenever I had the income.

    Also for singleplayer games with anti cheat, lmao get stuffed.

  • I'd love a useful heads up display with things like navigation, search (as in, "where the fuck did I leave my keys, they should be in my field of view", not "what's the capital of italy"), and something like a dashcam, where you can retroactively playback the last X minutes if something happened, but otherwise it gets deleted automatically.

    And nothing gets off the device without my consent of course.

  • How do I get the virtual keyboard to work in SDDM?

    Jump

  • I've also noticed issues with the login screen, it's using the belgian keyboard layout instead of my configured one (which works fine when logged in). There's a couple things not matching between system and user settings.

  • What tips for initial setup?

    Jump

  • I'm a big fan of occasionally starting over just because I can, and distro hopping.

    Personally I run Kubuntu on my daily driver, but I'm experimenting with kde linux (the people behind kde plasma made their own immutable Linux distro instead of hitching it on Ubuntu) on an old laptop and I'm loving it so far.It's very experimental though, so frequent big downloads for updates and things that might not work as expected, though apart from my laptop being configured in BIOS to do RAID for the single disk it has (???) and kde linux breaking specifically for RAID I haven't run into any issues.

    I definitely recommend backups of all things you consider important, if possible the whole disk perhaps, just for ease.

    Then if you have a big enough disk I would recommend partitioning it into:

    • linux installation (~50 gb)
    • (swap probably, though not relevant here, however amount of gb you need for that)
    • data (the rest, here you save files, documents, photos, videos, steam games, etc etc)

    This way, assuming your data partition isn't entirely filled, when the next distrohop comes around you can just shrink the data partition for a new linux partition, install linux on that one, and you can dual boot for however long you need to verify that the new one works.

    Then what I do is symlink my home folder and keep it on the data partition. The benefit is that it doesn't get wiped if you wipe the linux installation partition. The downside is that some programs (notably anything in snap's sandbox) have issues with this, due to what I think is either intentional and I missed a config somewhere, or a bug in apparmor. It doesn't hinder me a lot so I haven't looked into it enough to fix it yet.

  • How do people handle keyboard and mouse Input?

    Jump

  • Good point, this probably also allows players to remap inputs if they want.

  • I'm mostly experienced in c++ and python, but I would use a dictionary/map/associative array/whatever name you call it, where you put keypress/event/... as key, and a function with the result you want as value (as a first version, there's other more specialised ways, but this will be enough for most cases).

    If there's a case/switch statement in gdscript (that's what you're using I think?), you could also look into that, though I think it's likely just syntactic sugar for either what you're already doing or what I suggested, but it might be easier to read, so there's that.

    Edit: https://docs.godotengine.org/en/stable/tutorials/scripting/gdscript/gdscript_basics.html#match

    Gdscript calls it match operator, and I think it works like your elif tree but just a bit cleaner and easier to read

  • You can really tell that they wrote parts of the module before publishing the rules…

  • But that's my point, 5e is already not a rigid system.

  • What do you mean official statblock? As in it's a statblock from the dmg/mm? Then they can still just tack in things they want/need (as can you, as dm).

    I agree they probably could (and should) have better specified that this diverges from the stat block, but the point of the module is to try and cater to everyone, including rewarding players that took points in perception here apparently.

    I think it's got its pros and cons, I'm very fond of seeing all the rules and following them, even as a dm, so 3e (and Pathfinder) were always more my thing, but having played 5e nowadays (and other, even more "you have a 5 damage power, flavour it however you like" like mutants & masterminds) I kind of like the dm style of "know your players, make exceptions where it would increase enjoyment and/or add an interesting challenge without breaking the future fun of the game" too.

    Arguably that's the difference between DM and GM. A DM is just running a dungeon. A GM is running the whole game, rules and all.

  • But the shaman's no player character so the rules don't apply to him.

    In 3e pretty much every npc was fully buildable from existing classes, in 5e they just stopped doing that. If the module says he can do sneaky cure wounds, he can do sneaky cure wounds.
