I'm supposed to pay them so that they can make more money off me? Uh... No. No, I'm good.

Wreck the economy because it only works for the billionaire class. by MrCharles in c/workreform@lemmy.world

[-] MrCharles@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago

That... is a very...VERY BAD IDEA.

Billionaires have enough money to survive an economic crash without batting an eyelid. Do you?

Tolerating intolerance by MrCharles in c/comicstrips@lemmy.world

True. Social shaming is a very effective tool against this stuff. I draw a hard line at laws that stop it, but I see your point.

I am about to make the switch to Linux fully after a brief test period some time ago. Since you are all most likely more tech savvy than I, I wanted to ask if there were any immediate problems you see with this PC for running Linux Mint. I'm not aware of any, but it wouldn't be the first time I was wrong.

Any help, advice, or even alternative hardware recommendations are appreciated.

Microsoft completely misjudged Baldur’s Gate 3 by MrCharles in c/baldurs_gate_3@lemmy.world

Maybe, but most prediction based jobs have a middling success rate.Missing this big is always significant, but not catastrophic in this case.

You've got four friends over. They don't play D&D, or any TTRPGs. They spot your cabinet full of awesome D&D minis, and your cool poly dice, and say 'hey could we play now?' What do you do? by MrCharles in c/dnd@lemmy.world

[-] MrCharles@lemmy.world 7 points 11 months ago

I've been doing this for a while, so I've got old modules saved in my head. I also know generally what is required to run a successful one. What I would personally do is say "Yeah, sure. But I'll need a bit to get ready. Give me 30 minutes." I would then use a tool like 5etools to whip up a bunch of pre-generated characters and hand them out. If I had my printer handy, I'd print them. Then I'd run them through something like the Delian Tomb that Matthew Colville made (https://youtu.be/zTD2RZz6mlo?list=PLlUk42GiU2guNzWBzxn7hs8MaV7ELLCP_), a simple orc or bandit raid on a town, or whatever else I thought was cool in the moment.

I hope that helps. I've been DMing for over ten years now and playing for almost twenty, so Idk how well my technique would work for you.

The iPhone 13 mini is dead, leaving small phone lovers in a lurch by MrCharles in c/technology@lemmy.world

[-] MrCharles@lemmy.world 6 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Why? Why do they make so few small phones? We have the tech, and people like me really prefer it over the behemoths of the modern day. WHYYYYYYY?

EDIT: That gif came out WAY bigger than I expected. Apologies to your eyes, my friends.

Unity will quietly waive controversial fees if developers switch to its ad monetisation service - report by MrCharles in c/technology@lemmy.world

[-] MrCharles@lemmy.world 9 points 11 months ago

My problem with it is not monetizing; it is the changing of your monetization to affect games that were sold under a different model. If this was just the new TOS, ok fine. It would suck, but it's their right to make whatever shitty monetization they want. But retroactively inflicting this on games? Shocking the development world with only a few months warning when game development takes years? No, that is not ok.
