Feeling a little drunk and nostalgic but this is beautiful. Voxels are chunky (pun intended), but every Minecraft screen is just brimming with potential. I can imagine a thousand things I'd build with this vista.

I have enjoyed it so far. Horror and comedy is tough to mix but this show has gotten me spooked a couple of times and gotten me to laugh my ass off a few times too. Nice balance.

Eh, as long as it's just the proper noun, I don't really care that much. Languages can have their own versions of nouns based on the cultural context at the time. Is calling Deutschland Germany a problem? Zhongguo China? Nah.

You wanna call Shakespeare something different, go for it, it just means he was important enough to have a moniker in another language.

All I know is that Sisko, Bashir, and O'Brien all identify Section 31 as non-Starfleet assholes that need to be stopped at all costs. Discovery has Pike practically saluting Section 31 genocidal Empress Georgiou and revering the black badges in a way I'll never forgive it for.

I think DS9 did Section 31 right, as the bad guys to be foiled, as anathema to Starfleet's ideals, but yeah every other show seems to miss the point.

Enterprise established it as a result of Klingons experimenting with human augment DNA and it getting out of hand. It probably didn't need to be addressed in universe, but I thought it was a fun retcon.

Ugh, Discovery just made no sense in a million ways. My (least) favorite is how Control was sentient AI like a century before Data was a thing, or even M-5. That and every time Section 31 was acknowledged as Starfleet black ops instead of a rogue agency of assholes.

I don't think it's misleading, you just have to know that "KDE Linux" is a distro, not the DE. If anything, poor choice on the devs for choosing such an overloaded name.

Not to be too much of a downer, but all of these cute Google search results and other "quirky" "fun" things billion dollar corporations do used to seem so harmless but now it just reads like a friendly logo on a baby mulching machine.

This made me laugh. This is the same shit we've been doing for 100 years. "Illegal orders" aren't a thing when you use your imperial military to do imperialism. The last time we had a President that wasn't a war criminal was never.

I'm doing two simultaneous runs, a good Sorcadin run on Tactician and a dark urge, evil Berserker run in Honor Mode that follows along. The good party is basically acting as an advance team to remind me of the scary encounters, ambushes etc. but I've also never done an evil durge run so it's not exactly a 1:1 comparison.

The evil party is just shy of Act 2, but I'm playing with the only companions I have access to (because of my evil actions) and I'm roughly trying to play them on type. Astarion is a Gloomstalker Assassin, Lae'zel is an Eldritch Knight and Shadowheart is a Light Domain Cleric. We are cake walking at the moment, didn't really break a sweat through the Underdark and Monastery. I'm concerned at not having a true caster... But I'm also sort of intrigued at the viability of this party.

Counterspell is the big thing I'm worried about. The advance team is proccing it constantly. Also replacing Haste with potions would suck and I can't get the Haste bow (I assume, Dammon is dead). So far relying on cleric skills for AoE has been working okay.

Can I get away with using speed potions and maybe something clever like going full anti-magic and using Sussur blooms with some party tweaks?(edit: apparently that's not possible anymore, but still Silencing weapons etc.)

Or, should I bite the bullet and spec Minthara as something castery when I get her? If so, who do I replace?

Any suggestions welcome.

I have my Linux box running my TV and it works great, but I'd like the ability to treat my Chromecast as a desktop window for streaming without switching inputs, multitasking etc. I have an HDMI capture card that works great with a Switch, but the Chromecast detects it's not HDCP (DRM) compliant so it won't work. Is there a way to outsmart that detection with software or hardware?

I've heard some knock off hardware confuses it enough to work but it seems like the info is old and I'd rather not roll the dice on hardware that's otherwise garbage...

Hey all. I use the Jellyfin Android app to control an MPV shim running on Linux (Arch, Plasma 6) and for the most part it works great. However, sometimes the app just completely loses track of what's playing or where in the video it is. I can still pause/play blind, but I'd like to be able to tell where I am in a season/episode. Any trick to dealing with this?

For reference I have the app set to "unoptimized" battery usage so it shouldn't just be going to sleep. I do have to open Jellyfin to actually send pause/play button presses from the notification though so I don't know if I just need a better workaround (I'm on the latest Android version if that matters). I also had the same problems using a Chromecast but never bothered to mess with that since the dongle is proprietary, but with the mpv shim the whole stack is open source so I thought I'd ask...

Perfect headline.
