Divinity Original Sin 2 if you don't know the acronym.

My biggest problem with DOS2 is that it each battle felt a little too punishing and always ended up needed cheesing. I never got off the first island. At level 5 I thought I was soft locked out of progressing because my build choices couldn't get through a battle. Every fight felt like the whole kitchen sink is thrown at me and I don't have the tools necessary to survive any of it. As hard as I tried to like the game I ended up giving up on it.

My biggest blocks were Radeka and Gareth. Radeka I cheese off to the side but ended up getting chewed apart by the zombies and spit to death by the beetles. Trying to save Gareth is just futile as it's too many men who can whittle me down to one party member in a matter of a few turns while I struggle to do anything. Don't even get me started on the ambush battle that just wipes the floor with me by turn 4. I even went back to Fort Joy and finished off some battles that I left there. I really felt like I needed to kill every last NPC on the island to gain any progression in that game though. The sad part is, I like a challenge. But try after try after try after try after try of the same battle over and over again made the game go from a challenge to it's just cheap. So I gave up.

Is the combat on that same level in BG3?

This is literally a test. Can you pass?

Does this show up on mastodon if there's a hashtag in the title. Or if I tag myself. In the body? @JakoJakoJako13@mastodon.social

I finally got my printer working again. I spent the whole day going through Teaching Tech's calibration steps. All the flat calibration gcode looks fine. The Benchies are another problem though. I'm printing with a 0.6mm nozzle for the first time.

On the smaller benchy I printed at 0.2 layer height, with a perimeter speed of 40mm/s at 210/60 temps. The bigger one is 110% larger and printed at 0.25 layer height, with a perimeter speed of 60mm/s at 215/60 C.

The problems are mostly manifested in the same area. Big blobs in the rear and layer shifting on the tail pipe. Large layer shifts/bulges in the center. I've never really ran into this problem before so I don't know where to start when diagnosing this.

I think I acidentally deleted the original thread. Sorry

Card for tonight's show.

I said it when SC5 was released and I'll say it here. I've been laying pipe for 25 years and I'll be damned if they take that from my cold dead mouse and keyboard. But alas, water, electricity, and poop pipes are now apart of the road system.

SATURDAY SATURDAY SAT UR DAY!

Help me out here. Like a lot of ex-redditors, I made my way to the fediverse to find a whole new world of social media. Is it confusing at first? Yes. It takes a moment to adjust and learn the difference between an instance and a server and all that. But the one thing that confuses all hell out of me is @name@server. Not because it doesn't make sense. I get that on the most basic level if I wanna find user @JakoJakoJako13@mastodon.social that's what I need to search for. But mainly because it doesn't work in the way it's proposed to work across all instances/servers/services. Which is if I search for @nfl@lemmy.world on Mastodon or Calckey or any fediverse server I should be able to see what they posted. Most of the time, that's not what happens.

First we need to look at Lemmy because they've kinda thrown a wrench at this cog. What is this: !nfl@lemmy.world? More importantly what is [!] doing there? Well that's the NFL community on lemmy.world. But to be super distinct, its a place. Not a person. What happens if I search for that on Mastodon? It returns nothing? What if I change that to @nfl@lemmy.world. I get a user on Mastodon with 16 posts that don't populate on Mastodon. Same thing on Calckey but 0 posts instead of 16. Why does this happen? That user (to my knowledge) doesn't exist. On Lemmy, it's a place. A place where a collection of users congregated to make a collection of posts about the NFL. You could argue it's the same thing on Mastodon but instead of a dedicated place it's a subject and it's out in the open.

A noun is a person, place, or thing. So far in the fediverse we've concentrated on a person @ and a thing #. Mainly because the groundwork is there thanks to twitter. The fediverse's implementation of interactivity only focuses on the user. It has only looked at the @ of human interaction and not the whole noun. If this idea of connecting across servers want's to fully work then each service needs to come to an agreement on how they want to implement places !. We've got the user part down. We've got the thing part down. Only using an @ and a # leads to small talk. Need proof. See Twitter. If you want deep thoughtful discussion, you need the !. And in my analogy that is the place. And like in real life when it's all working together it leads to a community.

So I guess what I'm proposing, is as much as we hate reddit right now, Mastodon, Calckey, Lemmy, Kbin, and so on need to find a way to incorporate places together to get the whole idea of the fediverse walking.

I shouldn't have to enter a full URL to get Mastodon to populate the contents of a user or place. That's not the way we've been told this works. We're being sold on the model of @name@server. Well @name@server wants to see what !nfl@server is saying about #nfl over on !different@server. Until we standardize that, the fediverse will only ever be a half baked idea.

PS: And just to highlight the incoherent post I just made, I posted this from Calkey.world, it got autoboosted to #NFL on Mastodon and posted as it's own post to NFL here on lemmy.world

or, Dawn of Eternal Night: An Annihilation of Planet Earth and the Beginning of Merciless Damnation, by King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard.

That's the real full title of this beast. The album is available to listen to on Bandcamp. This might be their best yet. There's some thrash on here. Loving it so far.
