  Unless your console has a file browser with an Extra Content folder in it, I’m gonna guess no.

  However, the same rulebook is also available for free on Roll20.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨nuclear⁩ ⁨⁨6⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago⁩:

  Nuclear has the same problem as aviation, by average it’s many many times safer than most alternatives, but any time something goes wrong it has a high chance of going extremely wrong and making an international scene. So it’s generally safer but every accident makes world news.

  Yeah that fork gets washed between uses. The water comes right out of the pipe. Most people would immediately vom if they saw inside their water supply pipes.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Looking for answers⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Martin Luther King Jr was able to succeed with his peaceful protests because the threat of Malcolm X was looming directly over his shoulder. One requires the other. Either of them alone would not have made nearly the progress they did.

  Ah, fuck

  I’ve met a couple hackers and their polycules, this probably already exists irl

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cyberpunk 2077 - Update 2.2 is live!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  Ah, I misunderstood what you meant. I took that to mean they had previously announced an update and then rolled it back, which would be news to me.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Cyberpunk 2077 - Update 2.2 is live!⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨week⁩ ago⁩:

  When had this ever been an issue?

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you want the murderer of the UnitHealthcare CEO prosecuted?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Prove it then, should be easy if you’re so confident. Go on, I’m waiting.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you want the murderer of the UnitHealthcare CEO prosecuted?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Even if you were correct, which you aren’t, you have no way of possibly knowing that.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨skull crushers⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I learned the Shrike is a real bird when reading about the Hyperion Cantos Shrike.

  They share some disturbingly similar features.

  Guy? What guy? That was a pre-existing condition

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you want the murderer of the UnitHealthcare CEO prosecuted?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  A McDonald’s manager didn’t condemn my aunt and my grandmother to death in the name of profits.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Do you want the murderer of the UnitHealthcare CEO prosecuted?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  This IS the attention.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Caves of Qud 1.0 OUT NOW!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I’ve just checked and there are indeed UI scaling options in the menu. Up to 2x normal! So I think you’ll most likely be fine.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨You don't need to answer this⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Everyone has been feeling the pressure of “something is about to happen” for the better part of a decade. That pressure has to vent somewhere.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Caves of Qud 1.0 OUT NOW!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I primarily play on PC and don’t have a problem with screen size. When I’ve played on the Deck I’ve found myself peering a bit at the smaller text, toolbars and item descriptions and so on, but it was all readable and my vision isn’t exactly stellar. If the Retroid has a smaller screen than the Deck though, it’s possible you could run into trouble there. I think the dev team has accounted for that with some UI size multipliers in the settings menu but I might be misremembering that. I’ll check that tonight when I’m off work and I’ll update here if I remember to.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Caves of Qud 1.0 OUT NOW!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I will start this off by saying, I don’t know jack all about the Retroids, looking it up when you asked me about it here is the first I’ve ever heard of them. But looking at the specs I think it would probably run fine. I’ve played Qud on some absolute potatoes of desktop PCs before. I feel confident it would run on the processing power of an Android phone and the Retroid 5 has a snapdragon 865 in it. It’s a good bet. Late game might lag a bit but it’s turn based so who cares.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Caves of Qud 1.0 OUT NOW!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I fucking love this game with a burning fervor that is not matched anywhere else. Qud could have been made for me personally and it wouldn’t be any more perfect than it is. I’ve been playing this game damn near ten years and I still come back to it for every single major update. I’m stoked to see the 1.0 finally release and I hope it gets the attention it deserves.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Caves of Qud 1.0 OUT NOW!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Works great on the deck and one of the primary goals for 1.0 was polishing up the controller support. I still think M+K is the superior method (I’ve been playing it like that for probably 10 years now) but Deck is totally supported.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Caves of Qud 1.0 OUT NOW!⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Well lucky you, there is! Wander mode makes all factions neutral and changes XP from being granted by kills to being granted by exploration and water rituals.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Today's reaction⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I see this going the same way 9/11 took us for “Airport security” and “terrorists”. I’m celebrating this today with everyone else but I don’t think this was a good thing. PMCs are about to make a ton of money providing private security to rich folks, and dollars to donuts anything they do in the name of “security” won’t be leashed or investigated in any way.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨definitely⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  It’s more that finite is easier because it has the long I sound at the beginning which clearly designates it as I. The short i sound in most English dialects is a middling kind of “ehh” sound that can be confused for an e a lot when sounding out a word. When I misspell definitely it’s because I spell it defenitely.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨ROFL⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I picked up

  . _.

  From somewhere ages ago and I find myself doing it by reflex now, that’s like the only one of those I ever really used but boy did it stick. The little bit of offset on the eyes in most fonts really gives it that je ne sais quoi that I crave.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are there games with real collision detection?⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Exanima does this.

  Its a little bit half baked right now but it’s been under construction for the better part of a decade. I think the plan now is to use Exanima as a proof of concept and then pivot that technology into a “real” game. But I find it very fun in its current state and does exactly what you’re asking for.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Important Knowledge⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  A tutorial with R and BUGS

  Part of me understands that BUGS must stand for something I’m not familiar with, but I can also assure you, if I’m following a tutorial for data analysis it is going to contain bugs.

  In the original book he also wasn’t adopted, to be fair. He was just born looking like a mouse.

  Sure, after a 2 year training montage maybe

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Percentages⁩ ⁨⁨2⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  Depending on how you’re rounding, I assume. Standard rounding to whole digits states that 2.4 will round to 2 but 4.8 will round to 5. So 2.4+2.4=4.8 can be reasonably simplified to 2+2=5.

  This is part of why it’s important to know what your significant digits are, because in this case the tenths digit is a bit load bearing. But, as an example, 2.43 the 3 in the hundredths digit has no bearing on our result and can be rounded or truncated.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Are you receiving?⁩ ⁨⁨3⁩ ⁨weeks⁩ ago⁩:

  I honestly hadn’t even considered that this could be shopped because a real borzoi is like 60% snoot by volume anyway
