Ah ok. In the case of someone being malicious, many just would no longer choose to play in their campaigns. Incentives to NOT fuck with people seemed plenty high enough. Apparently that is no longer the case.

You are reading it correctly. The before game meet n greet was where everyone caught up with everyone else. Maybe being pre cell phone has something to do with it all. Where and when I came from, the idea of having to do a "might trig

Well, if my dad had died, I would understand the DM has no clue, until I say something. If I say something and that scene plays out, things are understandably ugly. If I don't and find myself uncomfortable, that is on me to manage, nob

Excellent choices, and you probably did! Potatotext was one of my first Propeller projects. I wanted a nice text display for future learning. I think your project is great, and I am thankful I made the final comment I did, because you did

I learned a ton on it and would not say that is true. And the P2 chip can put all that to bed due to it literally supporting almost every computing model and can even do multiple language programs that run all at the same time! I have writt

Thank you Mr. Carter for a life of public service well lived.

The Propeller is a good bridge into retro in my view. The device offers great retro level video just about any way you want it, except digital. VGA, NTSC, PAL, s-video, others... You can drive TTL displays, such as a CGA, EGA, Monochrome.

Parallax will continue to offer both the original Propeller and the second generation chip, known as P2 or Propeller 2 basically as long as they remain in business. The idea was to offer more capabilities to existing Propeller users as much

I meant 8 bits per character above, but passed my edit window. Ah well.

I like this project! The PCB looks clean, and has a lean, but complete set of components. 160x200 video is a mistake however. Those pixels are twice as wide as they are tall, in NTSC signaling to be perfectly fair. And to be a bit more f

Paper does not have downtime. Tech does.

by ddingus 2y ago
Which bank did that ?!?
253.
by ddingus 2y ago
Paper has no downtime. In times of disaster, the people welding paper along with the people who can trade on their street cred, familiar friends, family, will get stuff, do necessary business. Everyone else will be essentially panhandling.

Yes! Simply talk with other people about music. Recently, work ended up with a co-worker having great sound and a love of music greater than my own at present. I thought, "Hey, maybe this is good for me." and said, "Go for

I think what you have identified is a truism. Simple languages present a very lean cognitive load. They also do not offer a bazillion choices, and that is perhaps their greatest appeal! When the language is simple, a programmer can apply m

Merry Christmas! Thank all of you for being here and for the most part, being real. We are a fundamentally good crowd. Be nice to one another please. It counts in this world. A world where guilty pleasures like this one we share are seemi

Though I do not mind folder create in $HOME at all, I second this recommendation. I just glanced through that spec and find it agreeable..

Unless they simply are unaware, or hold a different opinion. Frankly, I expect when something needs to create data without prompting the user, that data ends up in $HOME. I know where to look, and bonus points for an easy to manage folder

Same, except I do love "Sweet Home Alabama" so it will slip through. I am currently burned out on Zep.

Alterra is one of the better ones. That is a great game! It was very influential too. No scoring system, just a rank. I still enjoy playing once in a while. There is a slow down that happens when multiple enemies are destroyed and the com

Request: When I use NewPipe, I can drop a YT URL into the search bar, which then treats it just like an address, more or less immediately playing the video This would be nice to see in GreyJay. Edit: Oh never mind! I just took the update,

YES! And thank you for a great app that is getting better. I bought in right away too. Louis gave a rundown on the idea; namely, you can pay for it, or not pay for it, and in either case we are going to do our best to make it work for you

The Mouse has not come back for a third round. Yet.

Totally understand. At that time 300 pixels horizontally by pretty much anything vertically was considered high resolution. The cool thing about machines like the Kaypro was the dot clocks were actually pretty fast, so add on boards tended

Yep. When I first encountered it years ago, that was my take. You'll for Midwesterners. Cool. Well, I mooched it, and have seen it propagate here in the Northwest. Will not be long before it takes more general hold as we exchange p

Does the Kaypro do graphics? If so, there is a client written in C, I believe.

Not that I am aware of. It is a revival of the PLATO networked learning environment.
