From the avatar wiki:
The term "Avatar" comes from the Sanskrit word avatāraḥ (अवतारः), which means "descent". In Hinduism, Vishnu manifests himself as an avatar to restore balance on earth, during a period of imbalance.
And there's a lot of overlap with Hindi Avatars in general: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avatar.
So pretty apt if you ask me
Still a very cool project! Fun to play around with
This is super cool!
Does it support things like max/min to simulate advantage/disadvantage?
It would be really cool to mathematically compare different kinds of rolls, like the cascading dice damage post from a couple weeks ago (even if its not built into the notation, just writing out the logic by hand)
I use Duplicati for my backups, and have backup retention set up like this:
Save one backup each day for the past week, then save one each week for the past month, then save one each month for the past year.
That way I have granual backups for anything recent, and the further back in the past you go the less frequent the backups are to save space
Thank you, I didn't know this existed!

Make sure to read the actual message, it's a lot worse than the headline makes it sound lol (It's also nice that you can look at the link of the full conversation to see how normal it was until the last message)
Currently on season 3 of a rewatch haha
Such an awesome show
I definitely agree some of the issues they cite are more complicated than they need to be
It would be awesome to base schedules around sunrise (especially sleep, your routine sounds very nice), but the wild variance the further you go from the equator might make that unruly.
Depending on the time of year my schedule would "shift" around multiple hours due to latitude, people in (southern) Norway would have to shift around 6ish hours, all the way to the extreme arctic circle where the sun doesn't rise/set depending on season
I think I could adapt where I live, but I feel like "time of day" would lose all meaning without also knowing time of sunrise, whereas right now I can be reasonably certain how "active" the world is in any given timezone at 9:00 or 23:00
It is definitely interesting to think how different it would be to base everything around sunrise (you'd never really say let's meet at x time, it would always be relative to sunrise), I just struggle in thinking people would be able to break the routine of relying on nice round numbers for time
You might be interested in https://inworld.ai/origins , a detective game where all the characters can be interviewed in natural language and respond with AI. They seem to be doing a pretty good job so far
With such lines as
If it has to be Christmas for you to be nice
You're an asshole
If you think the season is the reason
You're a piece of shit
And calling people spineless if they can only make a change for the better if it's New Year's and hints that so much of the holiday just appearances
I have no personal experience with it, but you might be interested in this completely open source mouse:
https://ploopy.co/mouse/
https://github.com/ploopyco/mouse
It looks like you can buy a fully assembled mouse, a build it yourself kit, or do it from scratch with the schematics. Doesn't come with quite as many side buttons though
