What free tools do you recommend for creating battlemaps on hex grid? in c/mapmaking@lemmy.world
[–] INeedMana@piefed.zip 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I don't use hex personally but in my opinion Tiled is very good. And since most of its files (tilesets for example) are XML, after you figure out how those are created, you can automate creation of new ones

Also, maybe this will be helpful for your use-case

Lutris: Pre-launch / Post-exit scripts not being executed in c/linux_gaming@lemmy.ml
[–] INeedMana@piefed.zip 1 points 1 day ago

Just to be sure: this is a script, right? Sitting somewhere? Not just a command put directly in the config?

I think you might have to ask in https://github.com/lutris/lutris/issues I'm out of ideas

Do you have space in the path of your script?

Is it executable?

[GOG via Prime] *Thief: Deadly Shadows*, classic stealth adventure from 2004 in c/freegames@feddit.uk

I liked the idea where the city between the missions was kind of like a lobby but then you had to sneak there as well

Also. It's been 20 years? Already?

Shadowrun Missions: 2081-06: Cutting Strings in c/rpg@ttrpg.network
[–] INeedMana@piefed.zip 2 points 1 day ago

I expect this is going to be rather a short run instead of some long plotbook. So you probably could just take the story and wing the stats. I also don't play OG Shadowrun

Shadowrun Missions: 2081-06: Cutting Strings (www.drivethrurpg.com)
 

In the Seattle shadows, fixer Brynne Taggart is known as one of the best, the kind of fixer you want on your side rather than against you. But something has gone sideways and now she’s disappeared. Her mentor, the legendary fixer Saint James, needs a team to turn over every stone in the sprawl and if necessary crack some skulls (or spill some blood) in order to find out what happened … and why.

What starts off as a simple investigation within the suburbs of Seattle quickly escalates into a royal cluster-frag as gangs, bikers, and other runners become major obstacles. So the question becomes: are you going to take this laying down or are you going to rise to the occasion?

The description sounds like this is not a Disian plot, more street like

Anyone checked this out?

Since I started observing CGL on DrivethruRPG, I must admit they do put out stuff for SR. Maybe not always the best but it's not complete silence. I wish they negotiated the rights to use Horrors' plot, though

The mood in the screenshots got me interested

Some real gems in there

PieFed UI: "Notify about new comments under the post"/"Parent notification" in comment options in c/piefed_meta@piefed.social
[–] INeedMana@piefed.zip 1 points 2 days ago

If I found what you are referring to (and not someone else's messages), this is a chain of comments on a closed issue. Might have fallen through the cracks

Mostly both use ActivityPub in similar way, so it makes it simple to connect the contents

The Shadow Side of Open Source AI in c/fuck_ai@lemmy.world
[–] INeedMana@piefed.zip 4 points 2 days ago (4 children)

And same argument can be applied to other tech as well: "Linux should be illegal because people can use it to hack computers and send spam." Or the entire internet can be used as a tool for criminal activities. What does that tell us about the internet? This in itself isn't very straightforward in my opinion. It needs to be factored in and regulated. But it's not the same question as should we have AI be part of the world.

I was thinking similar when reading the article. Going by the logic proposed in it, GIMP development team should be responsible for which images will get mashed together using it

‘Could become a death spiral’: scientists discover what’s driving record die-offs of US honeybees in c/news@lemmy.world
[–] INeedMana@piefed.zip 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

In context of bees isn't the trim important? I mean, for the grass to have flowers for the pollinators, shouldn't it be untrimmed? And hence prone to inviting ticks?

I'm curious, when the lawn is kept natural, doesn't it have a lot of ticks?

PieFed UI: "Notify about new comments under the post"/"Parent notification" in comment options (piefed.zip)
 
  1. I know there is "issues" in the repo
    But I rather aim to bring up a discussion than raise technical issue
  2. I know there is the bell button on the post
    But I think it would be QoL if that option was also next to "Comment" button

Sometimes I write a comment on a post that is relatively new. Often, in such cases, I am interested in what others comment. Having a checkbox to get notified of other comments (effectively clicking the bell button via the action of commenting) would be handy

Also, same thing for comment on another comment. I often am interested in what others will write in response to the comment I'm commenting on

So I think it might be a good idea to have not only the child notification checkbox, but also parent notification one

The default position of the checkbox could be changed in settings or just remembered from the previous comment

What does PieFed Meta think of this?

Self-Driving Tesla Tries to Crash into Oncoming Traffic On The Highway… Again (fuelarc.com)
 

I'm not the OP

In case you were worried about cars being too safe, don't worry. The most lethal car brand in the USA is pushing the envelope and innovating entirely new ways to make a nuisance of themselves.
Also, the dash cam footage of Tesla's self-driving tech is terrifying.

TTRPG feeds (piefed.zip)
 

Since https://piefed.social/f/rpggames seems to be mostly about computer games, I created a bunch of feeds for TTRPG

If you are interested and those don't appear on the list of feeds on your instance, you might need to use "add remote feed". Also, because my account is not on .social, I couldn't make f/entertainment a parent feed for these.

I created those because I felt those were missing. They are in no way definitive, just a hierarchy of what I am subscribed to. I am open to suggestions, discussion, etc.
I guess we'll iron out Piefed etiquette around feeds in the future
