Still massive for that Temperatur

I think the biggest problem that people have with NGE is that it just isn't your typical shounen anime. All of the characters behave in a way because of their past experiences. Shinji being abandoned by his father, witnessing his mother's death without actually understanding or realising it, asuka being neglected by her mother and Rei being a clone. And all of them in their teens, in a broken world getting told to fight and probably die or humanity is doomed.

With how saturated anime are with flawed main characters that then use that flaw to their advantage to overcome their enemy, NGE just doesn't do that.

I think that viewers just expect this hero story when they watch it.

I mean. I had a similar impression when I first watched it a long long time ago and thought that shinji was a wuss. But that was after I watched the typical shounen, DB, DBZ, Naruto and bleach. Not to mention that I didn't understand what the fuck was going on. Only later after watching it a second time and digging into the background a bit, shinjis Oedipus complex, asukas hedgehog dilemma and the general motivation of each of the characters it made a lot more sense. Including the context of their situation made me appreciate the storytelling a lot more because it put everything into perspective.

DnDBeyond is a tool that you can use to play your campaign. It also has and offers the rule books but also campaign books digitally for your account.

So no, when you rely exclusively on the hardcopy books that you have to play the campaign, then this wouldn't really matter much to you. However, when they decide that you cannot use DnDBeyond to keep track of your campaign and characters and so on with a previous version then you would either need to convert to those new rules or not use DnDBeyond anymore.

Well, I can only speak from my own experience.

When the PS5 launched I wanted to upgrade but you literally couldn't get it because it wasn't in stock anywhere. You could only find it on eBay of some private seller that started at almost double the price, no, thank you. Then Sony introduced this "Register and on the next event you get a slot to buy one from the official Website" which was great. I got invited the first time and literally couldn't buy it because the website was broken. Whenever I wanted to select my payment method the checkout got blank and there was nothing you could do. Even worse was that you couldn't hard refresh the shop because this would have killed the session that the website needed to allow you to buy it. So, even switching browsers with the same "invitation link" didn't work. I reported this to the support, but they didn't really care. half a year later, I got my second invitation link and the same happened then as well. I reported it again to the support, but they still didn't know what to do with that information or wanted to troubleshoot this.

And now, there isn't really a need for it anyway. The Games that I would have wanted to buy on the PS5 released on the PC.

I mean, Helldivers 2 was overwhelmingly positive. 3 days later it was overwhelmingly negative. With almost 100k negative reviews on 5th May.

My phone still doesn't know what fuck means or suggests it to me when I want to write it even though I use it fairly often. I also daily greet my coworkers over threema and it still hasn't learned what I want to write when my sausage fingers and the too smal keyboard are at a disagreement what should be written.

I would recommend watching the video...

What you say is "easy" is great for a comment on Reddit or Lemmy but it doesn't really provide anything to the actual problem.

The problem is that a company "just" doesn't, why would they do this anyway? It would open their IP to be forked, modified and used for something else by someone else. That isn't what they want you to do.

Since there is no incentive and no one is forcing them to do this they just keep doing whatever they want. It was mentioned in the video that there is absolutely no regulation or anything in that regard available ANYWHERE in the world, not even in the EU.

THIS is what the video and Ross Scott want to achieve, that there either will be regulations for it so that Game developers and Publishers can't just create games with some mandatory server backend running that is shut down in a couple of years OR that there is at least some way of saying "well, we don't care" so that the consumer can actually do anything about it on their own end.

So it is easy to say they "just" have to do X or Y but the past and the increasing games relying on things like this have shown that they won't do anything about it because nothing is stopping them.

Teggtical Vest

Apparently not for everyone. At least not available in Germany.

Depends. I recently was in that situation and it was easier and more cost-effective to just print them.

I recently bought some Lego Star Wars sets and printed out some Display stands for them but the connection between the stands and the model was expected to be a 2x4 Lego plate. I didn't have those plates at hand so I looked online and found it from the official Lego site.

The individual "Plate 2x4" would cost 0.14EUR each. Since I needed 3 this would be 0.42EUR. But the mailing costs would be over 9EUR.

So ordering 3 of those Lego pieces would cost me almost 10 bucks. I just printed them out which worked well, they were a bit tight fit but are still holding.

But I wouldn't necessarily say that this is a replacement for actual Lego pieces. As a quick alternative that you can't see or that has less interaction with other pieces (doesn't need to fit correctly on all sides) then I think this can work.

so, sooo much.

I currently print some stands for some Lego spaceships. I also have over a TB of models from various Patreons that I support accumulated over the months. I also always find new ones I want to print, but rarely find the time to ACTUALLY print something, anything...

My neighbour asked me to take a look at her refrigerator because it wasn't working. I am a software developer.

Unraid "supports" docker compose. You can install and use it but you won't be able to utilize how unraid handles docker containers.

All that unraid does is make docker more accessible for the normal user. In the end the container template constructs a docker run command.

So you could use portainer to manage stacks through a webui or install compose and have to SSH into the unraid server all the time.

While this would be funny to watch, it wouldn't help Linux at all, quite the opposite actually because many have the impression of Linux in exactly that way.

So something like this would have to have a huge asterisk and constant clarification that this is "not the general state of Linux"

I had the pleasure recently to create an ffmpeg command to transcode a video into HEVC 10bit with quicksync.

I had tha previously running completely fine on my Nvidia GPU. You would think that it would just be replacing the parameter which device or hardware acceleration to use.

Yeah, turns out that there are like 4 ways to set the quality value of the transcoded output, CRF didn't work for some reason with quick sync so you need to use global quality or something. I spend days on this trying to figure this out, DAYS.

It is a very powerful tool but every time I have to use it, it is too complicated and I have to spend hours or days to get it working.

Why did I read that with the David Attenborough voice in mind?

Polygon surveyed more than 4,000 people

That isn't that many people. This is like 0.04% of the people subscribed to the r/anime subreddit. and just 2.5% of the number of visitors of an anime convention in my country.

Yeah. The general speed that you set isn't necessarily the speed that your printer will print at. That might be the max speed you might get in the best situation or location.

For example, depending on the settings, first layer, outer walls, bridges and other parts of the model cann all be printed at a lower speed to preserve quality. Your print head also needs to accelerate and decelerate for every corner so that it doesn't overshoot and go where it should. So low acceleration/deceleration play also a part. And the model itself has to be considered in this too because long, mostly straight lines can accelerate to that speed and stay on it for longer.

So what you set as "speed" in the slicer is mostly not what you actually get. Some slicers have a speed display with a colour gradient after you sliced it so that you can see which parts are faster or slower.

The only thing you can really do about it is to do test prints and slowly push the speed up as far as you can to get a decent quality at a nice speed. But you can still end up in parts where you would be fairly slow.

What audio problem? because I had issues with my surround sound in which the channels where jumping all over the place. Support wasn't much help and if that was the same problem then I wish I had found that sooner
