In my attempt to learn Japanese, I'm slowly coming to the opinion that the notoriously difficult Kanji are less like an alphabet of >2000 characters, and more like a dictionary of >2000 "words" which are made of the 217 "characters" that are the Kanji Radicals.

Ahhh, bold of you to think I've reached the playtesting phase!

(I definitely intend on using my precious players as guinea pigs to playtest the system when the time comes)

Adopting permanent daylight saving time β€˜Spring forward’ on March 8 will be the last time change, ending twice-yearly clock changes

Even in death, the beast of time change makes one final curse against us; starting on March 8th and for all days thereafter, the solar noon shall occur after 13:00 instead of 12:00! (in BC)

Yeah, I was also quite surprised not to see anything in W11's built-in settings! Guess they expect all the nerds to be OK using a separate app, but I'd feel a lot better not having to download anything...

I don't have my 8BitDo keyboard with me at the moment, but you should be able to create a custom keyboard shortcut to play/pause media (I found a Microsoft app called PowerToys that allows that), then program the 8BitDo to send that particular keyboard shortcut when you press the big ol' button.

Idk if it's as necessary as the original post suggests, but FWIW I found out about Movement through your introductory video so... maybe he's on to something?

A flat lay arrangement of my hand knit socks on a wooden table. The socks are dark brown with purple and green accents, and thistle flower motifs. Around them are knitting needles, the remaining balls of yarn, the knit swatch, and two purple hyacinth flowers. (They were the closest thing to a purple thistle I could find at this time of year)

Yarn used: PIP Naturals and Colorwork by Baa Ram Ewe.

Last month I did my first test knit, The Cluaran Sock pattern by Grey Owl Knits. They fit really nicely and I think this is my new favorite heel type. πŸ§ΆπŸ§¦πŸ’œπŸŒΏ

So sorry to hear this! Here's hoping for a full recovery.

Rearranging our living space has now provided the sufficient level of Feng Shui needed for me to continue transcribing the RPG from a scattered Obsidian vault into a printable Affinity doc. Feels good!

Whoever decided "democracy dies in darkness" should be the tagline for a news organization that would eventually be gutted in order to pave the way for oligarchy was prescient.

Oh no! Thank goodness it wasn't worse, but that sucks all the same.

I haven't played Daggerheart yet, but I have the book and would gladly play it if my friends were interested.

My group unfortunately hasn't deviated much from D&D yet, but if they did, I suspect the favor would lean towards Draw Steel.

Three Midori B6 Slim Blank notebooks, the middle one has a Midori paper cover, the third one is still in its packaging and overlaid with a Siwa navy blue paper cover.

These are not the only notebooks I've filled out (not pictured are two A5 craft paper notebooks and two passport-sized notebooks). However, the two leftmost notebooks in the picture are where I really found my stride with notebooking as a creative process, and I look forward to continuing that with this new one which shall be named "#5"

About to start on a new notebook, this time with a fun new cover.

Bluesky Map Interactive map of 3.4 million Bluesky users, visualised by their follower pattern.

I made a map of 3.4 million Bluesky users - see if you can find yourself!

bluesky-map.theo.io

I've seen some similar projects, but IMO this seems to better capture some of the fine-grained detail

A cloud of hundreds of points, collectively labeled TTRPG Creators & Community.

On the top left is a point named @noah-the@bard, closer to the centre is a point named @hodagrpg.

Amazing. After finding my spot on the map, I tap on a random point in the TTRPG community to see if it's someone I would recognize, and sure enough the inimitable @hodagrpg.bsky.social shows up. He's everywhere!

100% with you on this one.

For all the criticism the Democrats rightly deserve (and there's a lot), Trump winning in 2024 is not it. The situation in USA today is the fault of the voters who could have voted for Harris to stop him, but chose not to.

I love me my @techconnectify.bsky.social videos, and this one's no exception! Good stuff from start to fin.

Ah, I should have expected as much!

Thx for the heads up; that A24 RPG had been a lingering temptation at the back of my mind, but it's good to know I can achieve the same experience better with Mythic Bastionland.
