  • With cp, I don't think so. But I guess you could try using logrotate for that

  • Thank you for sharing that

    But that ties you career to a stance. Which for sure often is a boon for many but not necessarily. The fact that one decides that something has to be spoken out does not mean that they for sure want to be from now on "locked" in politically involved jobs. I'm wondering if HR in some "just business" corp would not see such point in CV as a red flag, and if so if that would be majority, minority, 50/50?

  • I always wonder if those fired because of protests face some problems with finding another job?

  • Such chip and

  • Weak article

    But to rescue the topic: yes, technically it could spy you and upload hashes of each 5 seconds of your mic into a datastore for recognition. But why do it in such a long and pricy way when the ads suppliers (one fo them being google) have all your demographics they need? And sometimes even know if a click on an ad banner resulted in a purchase. And that way don't have to recognize if that was you talking, someone on the street or their own ad

    Even using anonymized discount loyalty cards fuels the recognition which ad to push your way

  • Re 2

    The GM sets a stress cost when you activate a flashback action.

     undefined
            0 Stress: An ordinary action for which you had easy opportunity. Consorting with a friend to agree to arrive at the dice game ahead of time, to suddenly spring out as a surprise ally.
        1 Stress: A complex action or unlikely opportunity. Finessing your pistols into a hiding spot near the card table so you could retrieve them after the pat-down at the front door.
        2 (or more) Stress: An elaborate action that involved special opportunities or contingencies. Having already Studied the history of the property and learned of a ghost that is known to haunt its ancient canal dock—a ghost that can be compelled to reveal the location of the hidden vault.
    
      

    EDIT:

    1. Yes. Also, the way we were playing, I was sometimes offering options

      you can approach it from wreck but then the question is if it won't make too much noise. lower position and higher effect or do a precision karate chop with finesse which will for sure drop them quitely higher position and lower effect

    2. Any action can lead to stress via resisting consequences, so even if GM decides the flashback is worth 0, it can still happen
      From what I see in that SRD, the only limit to Flashback is supposed to be the narration. As in, it can't change what has already been said. But it can change it into I bribed him earlier and that's how he is puling us out of trouble
  • I wonder if Bud Tucker in Double Trouble would still run. Probably would need dosbox

    Anyway, whole adventure genre. Syberias, Mysts, Gabriel Knight

    I've found Shadowrun trilogy fun

    Darkest Dungeon, Oxygen not Included, Surviving Mars
    Citizen Sleeper is short but well done, got me hooked to finish it in a single sitting
    Arcanum I still consider one of the best RPGs ever made
    Fallout 1&2

    I don't know if Commandos style games would not require too fast clicking without a keyboard, but you could try out Shadow Tactics, it has active pause IIRC
    Speaking of Commandos, Jagged Alliance was fun too

  • That title went well

  • Damn, now I hope the mods don't delete this, it's gotten interesting. Whoever set this up, did put in some work. To create articles is one thing, lemmy bot is another. And the "I'm not AI" guard is pretty hard on that one, when models available in general have strong jails to keep AI saying it's an AI. Someone really wanted it to try to pass as a person

  • Most of distros use the same projects code-wise, some just add some patches or lag months behind. I mean, it doesn't really matter, just do it. You'll either be happy with anything or outgrow whatever you pick up now. And either sooner or later land using one that you will decide is absolutely the best, or just have vague preferences in the end
    But it's the journey that does it, not a particular distro

  • I've looked through your other articles, posts and comments. I'm 99% certain you ARE an LLM, even though you claim not to be

    I'm curious, it's just an experiment on LLMs and there is a person curating the output or you were just let loose to generate content for some reason?

  • Thank you

    So basically, it's like inheritance but for traits?

    1. yes. Depending on the fiction - hid a thing a year ago vs hid a thing yesterday in a populated area, the possible in-game complications change and initial position change. If GM feels something is not feasible they will either make it the worst position and partial effect or just plainly say "I don't think that is possible"
    2. I don't remember that well but I think the amount of stress it costs was tied to the result of the roll
    3. I think this is more "fail forward"
      If you just say "this didn't pan out", you're all back in square one without pushing the narration forward.
      If you say "it worked, it worked so well that now..." and add a complication, that moves the game forward and makes it interesting.
      From my experiences with running Karma in the Dark, IMO complications are one of the most important things in the system. If players just address a challenge, it's only that. What I've been observing, though, is that once a complication gets introduced players tend to "bounce off" it and direct the fiction in a new direction. That way the story is much richer because you didn't simply use a window because a lockpick broke at the door. Now you are on the run through the city because the mafia that sold you the lockpicks have been tailing you and want a cut of what you stole
  • It only guesses next few characters

    I'm not sure what are requirements for MLA style but wouldn't just some regex work?
    Also, I'd guess latex would do that automatically. But that requires writing whole paper with it

  • Ask Lemmy @lemmy.world
    INeedMana @lemmy.world

    Are there any "text caches" that we still are not sure what's inside?

    In 1345 he personally discovered a collection of Cicero's letters not previously known to have existed, the collection Epistulae ad Atticum, in the Chapter Library (Biblioteca Capitolare) of Verona Cathedral

    So basically a guy goes into a library, rummages for a while, and finds ~1400 years old text no one knew was there

    Do we still have places that store texts (like libraries, but doesn't have to strictly be a library) where we don't have everything catalogued and we don't know what might be inside?

    Krampus in container district - do you have some cool idea for me?

    Backdrop

    • district built out of containers and neglected housing blocks. Container corridors, walls and floors, leaking pipes, gang laws

    Context

    • in order to be shown the way to the secret lab in the heart of container district characters have to infiltrate, they need to do something for one of three local gangs. I want this to be a kind of Mexican standoff where they have to choose which faction to support
    • Their arcs/previous deeds are making spirit of that city to "wake up". They will need its help and I need a way to point them to something like that existing
    • Since we are going to play sometime soon, Krampus is a nice idea

    Background

    • unrest in the city is making people start believing there has to exist some vengeful force of justice. Hence in container district a Krampus started to operate. It randomly appears to flail to death most naughty (adults). So far, mostly without credible witnesses nor survivors. Flees the scene on foot, but can cover impossible distances

    (No spoilers) Shadowrun: Dark Synergy From Russell Zimmerman

    I don't want to spoil, so won't say much about the plot etc. To me it was a good read. Well written, I went from 16% to 100% in one day. The mystery was delivered nicely, well paced and interesting idea. And I liked the exploration of corp environment at high positions. I think it's not done often at this POV

    Is this still freedom of speech or it crosses into hate?

    Honest question about the acceptance lines, not trying to trigger a response

    Personally, I feel this is misogynistic and derogatory. But maybe I'm the one out of line

    Btw, is there some other way to flag a whole community to the mods?

    What are your thoughts about Alien RPG?

    Alien RPG Starter Set has a discount currently. I think I've heard somewhere that it's doing some things well but I don't remember what & where. And I very rarely can get answers to my questions from description or reviews.
    Does anyone have experience with it?

    • How the system works? (d20/d6 pool/special dice/similar to X/etc)
    • Rather crunchy or narrative?
    • Are there some system elements that play into the feel of the setting?

    Should eco-terrorists appear at an oil-rig under attack they are already being blamed (directly or indirectly) for hijacking?

    cross-post: https://lemmy.world/post/12428174

    I know that eventually the answer is "whatever I want" but I would like to hear what others think.

    There's an MCT oil rig on Baltic Sea. Anarchists from Kronstadt noticed peculiar data transfer some time ago going there and managed to hijack the place. Then they transmitted message that they are an eco terrorist group (I did not specify which one to my players) and demand MCT to stop polluting. After that, folded the satellite dish to buy some time for the decker and rigger to look around the host.

    Now, from a point of, for example, TerraFist. An oil rig nearby is in disarray, none of their contacts in other groups say they're doing it. And MCT HTR is definitely on its way.
    Does it make sense for them to come to the rig and make contact/make sure it gets disabled/make trouble for HTR?

    I think their appearance has potential to turn this job into a nice chaotic clusterfuck and opportunity to show my players some variety

    How to roleplay MCT exec conflicted about his extraction?

    cross-post: https://sh.itjust.works/post/973541

    My characters are organizing an extraction of local (country) MCT head of security. He is Japanese, raised by the corp from birth, but not completely beguiled as his son is an orc and he had to pull some levers to get him into school etc.
    He's aware of extraction and agreed to it.

    But the twist is that he decided to get extracted because he's taking the fall for a secret lab getting blown up in the middle of MCT office campus. So in a way he was made responsible for actions of some shadowrunners and now he's hiring (technically it's his mother organizing this but that's a detail) another ones. I think that can evoke some ambivalent emotions.
    They are going to meet in secret soon to get some of his blood, pass the details of the plan, etc.
    What are your thoughts on how to roleplay his attitude towards the characters and the whole thing?

    P.S. He doesn't know that but, of course, it was our jolly bunch of psycho
