Haven’t tested it but it seems so. Android client has the button too

What about Element/Matrix?

I would also keep the “on speed” part. Even if the band aren’t users

Prince Wang’s programmer was coding software. His fingers danced upon the keyboard. The program compiled without and error message, and the program ran like a gentle wind.

“Excellent!” the Prince exclaimed. “Your technique is faultless!”

“Technique?” said the programmer, turning from his terminal, “What I follow is Tao – beyond all techniques! When I first began to program, I would see before me the whole problem in one mass. After three years, I no longer saw this mass. Instead, I used subroutines. But now I see nothing. My whole being exists in a formless void. My senses are idle. My spirit, free to work without a plan, follows its own instinct. In short, my program writes itself. True, sometimes there are difficult problems. I see them coming, I slow down, I watch silently. Then I change a single line of code and the difficulties vanish like puffs of idle smoke. I then compile the program. I sit still and let the joy of the work fill my being. I close my eyes for a moment and then log off.”

In general the impression I have from reading various sources is that Cyberpunk missions are good sources

I got that reference!

So far I like some of missions in Tales of Night City.

You mean this?

Yeah, in the end you’ll always end up doing an inspiration rather than running it directly. But among pre-prepared missions there are those that are flexible and those that rely on assumptions. I was hoping that maybe someone had looked at this book and has an opinion which category these fall in

It was a great adventure. But yeah, that setup was on 24/7. Not because of compilation, but it definitely made a lot of this more feasible

Gentoo unstable was a little bit tiring in the long run. The bleeding edge, but often I needed to downgrade because the rest of the libraries were not ready

Gentoo stable was really great. Back then pulseaudio was quite buggy. Having a system where I could tell all applications and libraries to not even link to it (so no need to have it installed at all) made avoiding its problems really easy
But when my hardware got older and compilation of libreoffice started to take 4h, I remembered how nice it was on Slackware where you just install package you broke and you’re done

Arch looked like a nice middle-ground. Most of the things in packages, big focus on pure Linux configurability (pure /etc files, no Ubuntu(or SUSE?) “you need working X.org to open distro-specific graphics card settings”) and AUR for things there are no official packages for. Turned out it was a match :)

Windows (~6 years) -> Mandriva (Mandrake? For I think 2-3 years) -> Ubuntu (1 day) -> Suse (2 days) -> Slackware (2-3 years) -> Gentoo unstable (2-3 years) -> Gentoo stable (2-3 years) -> Arch (9 years and counting)

The only span I’m sure about is the last one. When I started a job I decided I don’t have the time to compile the world anymore. But the values after Windows sum up to 21, should be 20, so it’s all more or less correct

If you want to access your computer from outside your LAN, it would be a good idea to at least secure it or, unfortunately the best, learn to understand what you are doing

Coming back to the topic, though, I’d start with checking these out

Well, it is the state the hobby is in general, not only Lemmy.

Thanks for letting me know about Fully Automated, I’ll check it out

Regarding Shadowrun itself, I’m interested in Lore discussions, GM discussions not about the mechanics (i e. “how do I portray Johnny Spinrad hiring our group? Tee Hee turned out wrong”), reviews of campaign/mission books, etc

I’m also interested in general GMing content like the “onion plots”, “lazy gm” approach or “how to do combat like a dolphin”

Since you chose that comment to ask your question, I’ll expand on what I’m complaining about. Content I have problem with is a title that sounds like it might be the general advice but then suddenly “this monster has the following stats, so that’s how you put it against your players in a smart way”. It’s great that it exists and I’m sure anyone playing D&D can take a lot from articles like this. But it’s of no use for me and from my perspective there’s a lot of content like this.
Hence in general I tend to avoid the “general RPG” spaces because most of the links I find there turn out to be not for me, and only after I start reading. And I get it that it might sound over the top that I complain about needlessly reading a paragraph or two. But with the amount of backlog that I have, the proportions of what topics interest me vs those which don’t and the rate at which unread content grows - yes, every click counts for me

Maybe you’re right

I just wish content creators would start marking that they’re going to write something D&D-specific, as they do with other systems. Very often the title and first paragraph looks like “general GM piece” only to turn to “5E stats” (as if there was only one 5E in the world) in the second one

It’s a pity. I was hoping it would get bigger with time.

My problem with “generic rpg” communities is that most of the content is focused on D&D/Medieval/High Fantasy that I’m not really interested in.

Thanks for the input, anyway :)
