Not the guy your responding to and I 100% get your frustration, but I want to provide a little anecdote.

Back in November, I built a new desktop to replace my 7 year old one and put OpenSUSE on it. No matter what I tried, I could not get either Bluetooth or WiFi working. I tried updating drivers, restarting controllers, reinstalling the OS, replacing the OS with Mint. Nothing worked.

I did a lot of searching over the next few days, and it turned out that my motherboard was so new that it's built in WiFi chip did not have Linux drivers yet. Like at all.

Most products aren't created with Linux in mind, so compatibility isn't a concern. It's up to the community to create patches & drivers to make things work, and it can take a bit to get things working.

I'm genuinely sorry you had the experience you did, but I hope that if you do return to Windows that you'll give Linux another try in the future. Search your products to see if others have had issues, along with potential solutions, before you dive in.

Me to my friend who also plays: I think I only have like 2 side quests left before the end

My friend: Did you do [insert 5 full side stories I hadn't even started]

Me: ... right, so time to start a new save so I can process that.

If my reaction the first time I saw a cybertruck IRL is any indication, I'd scream.

I've been playing DnD since 5e came out, and I've always been a warlock fan. By far my favourite class to play, there's just so much versatility in the class.

I started playing BG3 with my table top group a few weeks ago, and to make sure that I don't miss out on story and stuff I started my own single player campaign. Created a Great Old One/Blade warlock that would mirror one of my favourite builds I've ever done (polearm master hexblade).

I'm now level 10 in game, and my Tav's Eldritch blast is absolutely terrifying. Between magic items and other features, I can pump out a minimum of 39 damage per cast (math at the bottom of this post).

It's just so useful, and allows me to have a proper DnD party where not everyone is combat optimized. I have a Dungeon Delver Astarion for dealing with traps and locked doors, Laezel and Karlach are different kinds of tanks, Gale casts Magic Missile and utility spells. I can actually take my "non-combat companions" into combat and not worry.

Now for the math:

Eldritch Blast:

  • 1d10 per beam on hit.

Level 9:

  • 3 Beams per cast

Agonizing Blast:

  • Add CHA mod damage to each beam.

Magic Clothing from Act 2 (can't remember name or how I got it):

  • Add CHA mod damage to every cantrip (basically duplicate of Agonizing blast)

Ring that grants advantage on all attacks:

  • Can't miss most targets

Ring that allows you to cast a cantrip as a bonus action once per short rest:

  • Double the number of beams

Hat that gives +2 CHA (max 22):

  • Gives 22 CHA (+6 mod)

With all of these buffs, eldritch blast becomes:

3 attack rolls +10 to hit /w advantage (1/400 to critical fail, 399/400 minimum 12 to hit) 1d10+12 damage per hit 1/short rest cast twice in one round.

Final damage totals:

Normal round: 39 - 66 (Avg. 54) Double round: 78 - 132 (Avg. 108)

I think at this point I am more excited for, and have higher expectations of, Skywind.

I work with Java. And I'm definitely 'rose tinted glasses' because I also learned to code in Java. But I'm the opposite.

Do you use Java at home?

Fuck no, I want to stay sane.

I've been using mine since 2011, and I will continue using it for many years. I have an alternate one that I use in some cases (things that need a little more professionalism attached), but for everything else, I will forever be LordPassionFruit.

I also have never tasted passion fruit.

Forgot for a moment that 'thongs' could mean flip-flops/sandals. Wondered what dad was up to.

Simple. It's theirs when it works and yours when it doesn't.

Ad + incorrect use of meme

At this point, why even consider getting a Roku?

Note, I rarely, if ever, use a TV anymore, so smart TVs have never appealed to me. But Roku seems to be very anti consumer (between the forced arbitration and their ad policy), so I don't understand why someone looking to get a smart TV would actually want a Roku over an alternative.

Maybe I'm just poorly informed, but it just seems like almost anything else should be a better option?

Truly one of the systems of all time.

I'm not sure if this is a bug or not, and it doesn't bother me, but I noticed this while messing around in the settings and figured I should mention it here.

My current cache is at 157.1 MB and maximum cache is set to 128 MB.

This might just be a nothing burger, but if it isn't I'd rather speak up than not. Loving the app

This is completely unrelated to the cat, and I have no idea why I think this, but from the nose up you look like someone who makes quality video essays on YouTube (not a specific individual, just the vibe)
