Ah, okay. My bad. Yes, it should probably sound something like that. At least, the consistent "Ratatan" chants (or variations thereof). Some of the higher, more meaningless screaming happens, but at least it's not 3 out of every 4 quarter notes. If you catch some Patapon 2 videos, you'll see what I mean.

IF it comes to PC, you can use a Steam Deck or similar handheld PC.

If it comes to Switch, there's that. And I think Sony has something for streaming a PS5 to a handheld device?

I mean, it's basically the same as Patapon's audio design.

I've never played the Suikoden games. Are they worth a playthrough at this point in time?

I'm wondering if this is some sort of corruption of the hero, or if there's some necromancy thing going on. They said it was someone who was supposed to be a hero, but don't mention an explicit timeframe. Was it like a year ago? Or 2 centuries beforehand?

Also, the knight has a higher voice? We just know that's going to be yet another love interest, huh? My bet is on tsundere knight who doesn't know how to show affection.

When you use the search in Liftoff, it takes you to pick an instance that you're searching from. It should hypothetically be a search through all the posts that insurance knows about, meaning everything on the insurance and all instances it is federated with.

In-browser, I know that Lemmy.world allows you to search among your instance's communities or among all (known, federated) communities. It would be nice if that were an in-app option.

Man, for all his big talk, Fujio sure struggled as a young man.

I'm not the biggest fan of isekai/reincarnation/timejump series, but the writing of this one has been fun so far. Yeah, sure, MC is definitely overpowered, but I'm hoping that the character relationships and unexpected difficulties can carry this series.

Okay, this seems cool! I hope it catches enough eyes, because the multiplayer side is going to live or die by its playerbase.

This week has been keeping up with Honkai Star Rail dailies. I haven't done the new patch content yet, but I'm just spending my energy getting resources and leveling my team.

Beyond that, I've been grinding some casual matches in Street Fighter 6. My local card shop is hosting a small tournament on Saturday, and I at least want my BnB combos to land. I don't think I'll win, but playing in Platinum is at least showing me where my weaknesses are.

Last but not least, I got Baldur's Gate 3 for the early access bit. It's fun, if a bit slow, and can be pretty punishing. Not sure if I'll play the full game by save scumming or just living (and dying) with the consequences of my actions.

Will always love anything Danny and his team put out.

I'm still a pretty new player, but I'm fairly certain that in my group's second combat encounter, our DM saw that we were going to struggle, so a few rounds before he thought we'd die, he started hinting that people on the street were hearing us. He didn't play around with his rolls at all, which meant us getting hit by some very powerful (even permanently crippling) critical hits, and some of us rolling awfully on his critical miss table. As we started to go down, one by one, the door was getting battered, and when the crew was down to 1 member alive, the city guard arrived and intervened, scaring the remaining mobs and healing up the three of us on the floor.

To me, it meant that he cared about the dice rolls and wanted consequences and actions to feel real, but also he didn't want our journey to end on the first night. But he didn't make the entire encounter feel like a victory, and our characters had to deal with the repercussions of that encounter.

Cute little one-shot!

I'm still new to DnD, but after a few quick experiences, I think playing in-person has some benefits, especially for newcomers. It's hard to get going with an online group when people have different levels of investment and commitment to the timeslot, and I've found online groups fall apart more easily than IRL groups. As a newcomer, my first "group" fell apart after 3 sessions, and I never really got a good feel for how the game went. It took my cousins and their friends inviting me for an IRL game to really get into it and enjoy it.

If you're really looking at online, there are various Discord servers that will run games on roll20 and whatnot. I also just saw an ad for startplaying.games earlier, which apparently has paid games.

As for tools, it's really up to you. Some people like using the physical books, others enjoy the way the information flows in something like DnDBeyond or Roll20's compendiums.

Welcome! It's always good to know that the community is growing and that there are people passionate enough to help it along.

For the sake of conversation, what's a DnD memory you've been unable to forget?

Would things like watermarks be considered as "usable and not excessively downgraded state"? I don't create any OC and am new to the hobby, but that at least seems like a half-decent way for artists to have their stuff available but not in "perfect" condition.
