  • Okay, first off, I’m really impressed that Lemmy (the web interface anyway) embeds TIL.vids video player and it just works. Since it’s peertube, I guess I shouldn’t be surprised. (I wonder how hard it is to create a peertube instance, hmmm.)

    Next: as a former KDE dev, I love these sorts of updates. Put it on the background while I was working this morning :)

    Most interesting: hiding things from screencasting… if Plasma were ever deployed in an educational context, this will hurt the anti-cheating software that screencasts your screen during test taking. Well, they probably make you use windows in that situation anyway ;)

    Weirdest: mouse pointer stays in centre mode… bizarre. Would be fun to couple with an eye tracking camera to create a fucked up feedback loop haha.

    I ask this, or for their stealth modifiers, and then roll behind the screen just to fuck with them sometimes. But it’s actually quite useful. I do this once in a while and it trains them not to overreact (and assume ambush) when I ask them for realzies.

    Counterpoint. If she is high enough fey, this creates so many opportunities for the DM to fuck with the player in fun and creative ways.

    Eg: spell fails, but she pretends it works. Discount applied, item is cursed. Etc. All charm spells cast by user now have inverse effects, and their feet smell bad.


  • You cannot 100% the game no matter how hard you try. And anything you miss will still be there, somewhere. So you might as well enjoy the parts you enjoy, and don’t worry about the parts you don’t. There’s no wrong way to play.

    Following the main story plot (see your quest logs) will help you unlock stuff. So probably do that first, but don’t rush. :)
