I got into D&D in the late '80s. My super-christian grandma even tried to play. My dad’s church thought I was going straight to hell, though.

PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•MMO Hype Train: Is it smart or foolish for upcoming MMOs to embrace hardcore attitudes?English
1·13 days agoDoes that mean something like Eve Online or an MMO actually done with spreadsheets somehow?

81·14 days agoI might be open to a new MMO at some point. I’m 100% out if it requires grouping for the main storyline, is super grindy, or I have to do corpse runs. I have two jobs and no time for that. I enjoy doing some group stuff, but I don’t want to pay for a game where I get nowhere because of my schedule.
I’d also be out if it had some parry system (quicktime events, basically) or souls-like combat in general as it’s just not my bag; I’m there for the quests and story more than anything else.
Japanese can only end in ‘a’, ‘i’, ‘u’, ‘e’, ‘o’, or ‘n’. Rhyming in Japanese is boring because it has so few possible endings that tons of stuff rhymes. Haiku, tanka, and other forms exist with syllable*, rhythm, and even thematic rules instead.
IIRC, Anglo-Saxon poetry before the Norman conquest also wasn’t into rhyming.
* it’s technically not syllables but close enough for this usage.

PieFed Meta@piefed.social•Is there anything regarding the piefed software that it shows error 504 pretty often ?English
8·21 days agoTo greatly oversimplify,
400-499 = you did something bad (404 not found, 401 not authorized, etc.)
500-599 = our server did something wrong meaning something in the server side went wrong ( either an issue in code or one server can’t reach another)
4xx can also be caused by bugs (such as a bad request error because a dev broke something with what you are requesting), so it’s a little complicated to explain in very basic terms

I added one other SDD to dual-boot linux, but it’s otherwise the same as when I built it in May 2020.
I was looking at upgrading the video card before all the prices went to shit. I’d need to get a new mobo to really make it worth the effort. I’m not sure adding more memory would really do a lot.
My previous computer was a laptop since I knew I’d be moving across the world and I got it in late 2014 or early 2015. It technically still works, though it just sits in a closet.
I’m thinking I just want to buy a higher-end laptop next time and just use this machine as a server. If I can do some gaming and video editing on it, that’s really all I need that’s intensive. I’m also debating whether or not to live in Japan full time or see if I can get work authorization somewhere in the Schengen area and just live in Japan part time. Bit of a dream with jobs the way they are now, though.

Casual Conversation@piefed.social•Without posting any personal information, what's the oldest card or other thing you still keep in your wallet or purse, that you don't even need anymore?English
18·1 month agoI don’t know how y’all manage that. I’m always looking to thin things out and move unused cards to a drawer and eventually the shredder/trash. I think my US passport card is probably the oldest thing in my wallet.


I have a USB-C hub with USB-A ports that plugs into my work PC. I had a hard time trying to find the opposite, though I haven’t looked in ages; it honestly has come up exactly once in the last few years when I needed to borrow my wife’s sd card reader (or dig my old laptop out of the closet and play the updates game).
