If I recall correctly, the game already had plenty of auto-pause options that essentially made combat turn-based. Am I misremembering?

Bookwyrm has been fantastic at cataloging all of the books I don’t read! Man, I miss having an attention span.

You son of a bitch. I just spent way too much money thanks to you.

• Silence of the Lambs
• Mishima
• Akira Kurosawa’s: Dreams
• The Adventures of Baron Munchausen
• Breathless
• Altered States
• The Last Emperor
• Yojimbo / Sanjuro
• The Virgin Suicides

Is there any meat this man can’t jerk?!

Vampire the Masquerade: Bloodlines I didn’t get around to playing this game until about a decade after its release, and I seriously don’t understand who could find that game enjoyable except 13yo edgelords.

I feel like dancing! Wiped my SPI, installed the OPi Debian to my eMMC using dd commands, and I’m back in business.

I give it 1 week before I break it again trying to do something stupid.

For the uboot, I think I tried both of these: https://github.com/schneid-l/u-boot-orangepi5 https://github.com/orangepi-xunlong/u-boot-orangepi

I’m not sure what exactly changed, I used the same SD card, the same OPi image, used Balena Etcher to burn the image to the card… this time it booted into the live image from my SD! It’s a start!

Now I’m just trying to wipe my SPI of UEFI, reinstall uboot, then do a fresh install of Debian and try again with PXVirt.

I actually think it’s a better deal if it’s missing the battery and priced accordingly. I’d much rather buy a fresh replacement battery myself than rely on the iffy battery that comes with a used laptop.

If you’re in the LA area, American Cinematheque is showing Kurosawa restorations at their theaters for a few more weeks. https://www.americancinematheque.com/series/akira-kurosawa-restorations/

For one, most articles that you think are factual are fairly biased and opinionated. For two, every obituary from one of your “factual” sources will be a fluff piece burying the bad and cherry picking the good, like they are for all the other dead pieces of shit.

Don’t we all have this power already?

He said Escape Goat and he meant it

Also a big fan of Pathfinder! I tend to like systems with some crunch, but not enough that it bogs down the narrative.

I’m currently playing Hunter: The Reckoning with some friends over zoom and loving it! We’ve played a few World of Darkness games together, so it’s an interesting change playing an all-too-human hunter instead of one of the creatures I’m now hunting.

If you’re into TTRPGs, try posting to !rpg@ttrpg.network occasionally… that community could use some love.

Am I the only one that made my Shepherd hilariously stupid looking?

Not trying to make Tidal anything, but if I’m going to link to a playlist I might as well say the name. Where do you listen to your music?

Thanks for the recommendations! I pulled the trigger and ordered the following:

• TP-Link ER605v2 wired router (I’ll flash this with OpenWRT)
• Cudy AC1200 wifi access point
• Netgear GS305P unmanaged switch with POE

Obligatory WKYK sketch

Yeah, I was also starting to lean toward putting NextCloud on the OPi. There’s just not much happening on my OPi and I was only hesitating from trying that because I didn’t think the OPi could handle it, but it’s worth trying.

Thanks for the feedback!

1. I may not have labeled that accurately, I just plan to use Tailscale to access these services from specific authorized devices.
2. I meant “before I do something that is a pain to correct”. Like starting with the wrong OS or file system format.
3. My plan is to build a media server which will include 4k media, so I think my storage may need to grow over time… maybe TrueNAS is something I can add later if needed?
4. I guess the reason I was thinking of 2 separate machines is that I’ve heard using an OPi as a media server or NextCloud server will go really slow and potentially cause other issues. Plus I already have an old computer doing nothing right now, just needs new SSDs.

I just wanted to mention that the Transformers artist, Daniel Warren Johnson, does a really fun and soothing live drawing session every Friday. https://youtube.com/@danielwarrenjohnson1?si=5Mdq5QzuwScS4MmD
