  • A Google search (ai response, so take it with a grain of salt) suggested a 5 person party could take a dragon with 136 hp and 18 a at levels 8-9 comfortably. 7-8 would be hard, 5-6 would be very difficult but possible. Depends on the DM too.

    Note I don’t play much 5e, and my experience in TTRPGs outside a few single session stuff is mostly one Pathfinder 2e campaign currently at level 6.






  • I do have an edge there as I’m actually pretty technically inclined (I do tech support for living, and at the risk of sounding like touting my own horn, I’m high up the escalation path for my company). So partitions and stuff are common things I work with, and this isn’t nearly my first brush with Linux. It’s just more getting games and a bunch of small unique software working is somewhat different from working with business servers where you have either stricter policies on what gets installed or vendor backup if necessary.

    Still, much of my actual work involves solving issues by looking up errors and symptoms, so figuring out the issues here aren’t that hard for me either. While I do appreciate the GUI making it an easy switch from Windows, I’m no stranger to CLI either and feel quite comfortable using it, and documentation for a lot of what I’ve messed with so far has been pretty easy to find and follow.

    As for my plans, I’ll probably eventually limit NTFS to one 1tb drive, or maybe do what you said and repetition it down to maybe 500gb, and hopefully most of what I do will be in Linux. I am the type to force myself to learn by force, so I haven’t actually booted back into Windows except for an issue where I couldn’t delete the NTFS partition from Linux. And I’ll probably hardly boot into Windows going forward either.


  • I joined that group today, but it wasn’t necessarily this support thing. I hated Windows update most of the time anyway. Mostly I just needed to buy a new SSD so I could dual boot, which will allow me to transition at my own pace while getting comfortable. I bought a cheap 500gb Saturday.

    The other issue is my version of decision paralysis on choosing a distro, which generally is paralysis up until I suddenly just bite the bullet. I went with Nobara since it looked easiest to support my hardware and get into my games quickly.

    So far I’ve gotten FFXIV, Warframe, and Enshouded running the way I want, and am slowly downloading my other current games. I have to keep a 200mpbs download limit because I’m working too. I also wiped one of my 2tb drives that mostly had games I was planning to play soon or just started playing to make it exFAT. I’ll probably eventually convert the others but may need to buy another 2tb drive for transfers if needed.

    Update: exFAT gave me issues with another game so I ended up just making it a btrfs drive.







  • Most of my limited reddit usage is for work. I do IT work,and sometimes solutions can be found there, or at least hints. It’s still pretty low, maybe 10% or less of stuff I search for find actionable hit on reddit. Only other thing is stuff like comments on Tom Carey videos, which I do like to see. I know stuff like YouTube, insta,tiktok, etc will have em too, but sometimes I’m in the mood to see from multiple sources, and I don’t usually find those type of niche reactions on Lemmy. I do see fans of course, but not as often.


  • I don’t like sugar as much as most seem to, based on a lot of foods. I like some, but much lower totals. Unsweet pancakes with a sweet sauce or topping sounds great.

    Even granola is usually too sweet for me. The Muesli I sometimes find at Aldi has 6g per serving, while the granola I get usually has 14g or so, and I much prefer the Muesli. I think 10g or less is ideal, and I can add honey or sugar or some fruit/dried fruit if I need more.






  • Before full touch screens came out I bought a small windows CE full screen device and put a few videos on it on a card (can’t recall if it was sd or something more primitive) and watched anime in between calls at work.

    I always wanted this, and phones getting better at it just meant less devices. I am partial to phablets and fold phones because I like to read books,light novels,and manga on a bigger screen while being portable. I have in the past used both a tablet and phone before I got my fold, and when the inside screen of my fold failed after a couple years I am now back at both until I can afford a replacement.

    I know not everyone wants this, but that’s why we have options, and dumb/feature phones can still be purchased, even from large carriers (though price of plan may be wasted on those). These memes act like there are only smartphones now, but dumbphones were always an option.

    Lots of people suffer far more discrimination for having non standard names. There have been studies showing a name can lose you a job opportunity, and I’ve been discriminated for my name since middle school. My name is Chatoyer, a French name pronounced with a sh sound.

    So I’ve heard shit used instead, I’ve heard people confused by the shorted version sounding like shat, and at one job where they tried to send me to a customer onsite, when he heard my name he yelled "The hell kinda name is that?!"and hung up, losing the company business (good riddance though).

    Get over it. Karen’s have it easy.
