Against the Odds: 2+ Hours of Ancient Cornucopia Gaining Life to Fall Asleep To
  • For anyone who was confused about the May as he was. The reason it is May is because you can only take the action once per turn, you don't need to take it on the first spell you cast.

    You can bolt something, decline the action, then cast a 5 color spell after and take the action on that.

  • Is it worth the solar panels I'm getting?
  • Hard to say without knowing your full situation.

    Does your power utility do net metering? How much do you expect to generate compared to your usage on a annual basis?

    I got a 6.5kW system a few years ago for a final price of around 12k after rebates. It covers nearby all of my usage and my provider does net metering, so really good days cover less good days, summer covers winter, etc.

  • Sweet Transit | 1.0 Launch Trailer
  • I put some hours into it a few months ago and had a good time, but one of the things that I hope they add is better conditions for routes. Maybe I was missing something, but I was having a hard time getting my workers to actually get in the trains I wanted them to.

  • From Innistrad to Outlaws: The Fortnite-ification of MTG
  • I think the switch to sing large sets instead of blocks plays a lot into the failure to really dive into the stories of the planes. Can't do something like the Tarkir block with a single set and not a series of three that are narratively connected and sequential.

  • World of Warcraft returns to growth with over roughly 7 million players in the lead-up to the 'The War Within' expansion
  • A get where you are coming from, but my perspective when I was younger was that I could spend $15 a month to play this basically limitless game or spend $50-60 per game that would be a 40-50 hour experience. So for me, the value of that subscription was huge.

    I think if modern games stuck with subscriptions without other mtx, that puts the most incentive on making a good game that is worth playing for a long time. But all the sub based games also have mtx these days, and there is also the incentive to make things just a little worse by default and offer a paid item to ease that a bit, the whole "pay for convenience" thing.

  • What are some of the biggest challenges you've faced in game development, and how did you tackle them?
  • Mem stomps are the worst. At least nowadays we have address sanitizer to find em. We recently had one where the same 4 byte pattern was being written randomly in different places in memory, would happen all over the place. Always the same 4 byte pattern, just different places. Eventually, it would write to a spot that was being used and cause a crash. Different callstacks almost every time, but the same memory footprint wherever the crash happened. An array size, a memory address, a string mangled, etc. Eventually we got our ASan build working after about a month of trying to track it down, digging through callstacks and core dumps. We found that it was a dangling pointer in our AI system, when an AI was removed, there was a situation where the pointer wouldn't always be cleaned up, then later when another AI was removed, a boolean and an enum were written to the address of the dangling pointer, always the same format/value. which had haunted us for so long.

  • Moved my Lemmy instance to a new host - none of my content is federating out
  • Are you using the same user name? I had a similar issue with my local instance, ended up just having to make a new user name, since the previous one was already known about, even though all of the other instance says was different. So it wouldn't federated my posts and comments. Admin tried a bunch of stuff to no avail.

  • What's the biggest plot hole in real life?
  • Some astronomers are looking at JWST data and claiming they are seeing galaxies with red shifts in the range of 11-20, which if accurate, correspond to ages older than we'd expect to see galaxies of such size formed. Other astronomers disagree, and believe that the results aren't so clear. This the "hubble tension" or "crisis in cosmology" maybe still live on.

    It is exciting, either we get more data to confirm our current understanding or we need to discover be physics and form new theories that align with the data. Either way is great, imo.

  • Mod to fix Warlock spell slot selection when multiclassed?

    Currently when you cast a spell, you don't get the choice between "regular" spell slots and pact magic slots, it seems to usually use the slot type of the class which granted you the spell or feature first, then can switch over when the slots of that level are expended. EG I have a Pally 6/warlock 2, so 4 first level does from pally and 2 from warlock. Don't have the option to spend warlock slots first for things like smite or healing. But if I run out of regular slots, I can use the warlock ones to smite.

    Anyone know if a mod or anything to improve this multiclassed setup?
