I love 1&2, but haven’t played any of the others. I’ve played some of The Dark Mod and it also has that same feeling.

Ive started a replay of BATTLETECH (2016), this time with all of the DLC. I need something turn based for now and this really scratches that itch. I love how good the gameplay is and the gritty graphics fit the setting so well.

As it turns out, most small businesses pay a higher wage than the big corps. Average wages end up going down when a town gets Walmarted because Walmart pays less than the small businesses it drives out.

The dev entry point changing like that means that it disconnected and then reconnected, which shouldn’t have anything to do with the specific file system on the drive. That really makes it sound like the drive isn’t getting quite enough power, which causes a brown out, which Linux detects as the drive getting unplugged and coming back, which is why it gets a new dev entry.

A look through the usb logs by using something like usbrip would confirm that.

Interesting. When you say that they show up as a different drive completely, do you mean that their UUIDs change, or that they get mounted at a different point?

Anyway, random disconnection sounds like a hardware issue, maybe a USB brownout, as much as anything else. What’s your connection setup, distro and kernel version?

My partner, who is a non-gamer loves WytchWood, which is a rather slow paced crafting and wander around the woods game in a fairy tale setting.

Eh? I’ve never had a problem with reading NTFS drives in linux, including USB sticks and SATA/USB adapters. Are you just wanting to read them or use them as read/write? Write is a bit more tricky, requiring ntfs-3g, but most reasonable distros come with that nowadays.

Mint. It’s a great, simple, well supported first distro. And last distro, TBH. I know plenty of people like to distro hop as a hobby, but if you just want to use your machine pick a well supported basic distro and stick with it. Mint, Ubuntu, Fedora are all good options, but Mint is really aimed at newcomers.

Except, you know, for everyone that has an iRobot device that is going to lose connectivity soon.

Unfortunately, it doesn’t appear to support anything from iRobot. I’m hoping that there will be a jailbreak made available before they go bankrupt, but I doubt it.

I mean, I’m pretty upset that I won’t be able to see a living pentaceratops, seismosaurus, or T-Rex. So, no, I think it’s fine.

Welp, now I have plans to my next Sunday dinner.

There are many exercises to help train your reactions during actual emergencies that don’t involve firing live ammunition at real people. Im more familiar with martial arts than firearms, but sparring works.

Two thumbs up for The Dark Mod, which started as expansion of the best stealth games of all time.

I know you’re joking, and that would be enough to get me to buy one even though I don’t really have a use case for it.

Flat out wrong. Per page 400 and 401 of the Player Core, “All types of checks, from skill checks to attack rolls to saving throws, follow these basic steps.“ … “You critically succeed when the check’s result meets or exceeds the DC by 10 or more.” Furthermore, individual skill actions specifically list a crit effect, such as with Recall Knowledge which grants you additional information or a follow up question.

Photographic proof from the rulebook attached.

I don’t see any indication that it is any specific system being referenced, so I chose the better one.

Nat 20 adds one to the degree of success, which almost always means a crit unless you are dealing with something way above your level.

My cat would disagree. She was very upset when I replaced her favorite warm perch with a flat screen.
