Oh wow I wasn't old enough to witness the release the 6ed but I need to check it out to see the evolution of the rules

Read Call of Cthulhu 7e (And generally Lovecraftian horror) ! The part about how to run the game explain a lot on how to structure the scenario, how to create a sense of horror !

My advice :

  • Start from the end => how do you get to the end of the mistery ? Have a set of clues, handout you cam give to your player when they are investigating that allows them to reconstruct the full picture !

  • Hurt the characters personally => the cult of your RPG should try to scare away the character by hurting their loved one, they should be made dangerous to the player by directly hurting them! Show how unpredictable and dangerous this situation is :)

  • Lock down access to information => they need to learn about witchcraft ? They'll have to steal books, travel around dungeons and be the first to get the resources they need to counter the plan of the cult.

  • EDIT: Show the effects of the action of the cult on the world around the characters => unspeakable experimentations on the people of the city, and murders, property trespassed etc... This could be a hook!

  • (EDIT: About the hook) The party could be asked to help... I don't know... The Magic Academy (lol) to recover a dangerous tome of forbidden knowledge and this could be what lead them down the rabbit hole!

  • EDIT: TL;DR This should feel like a rabbit hole while you know exactly where they're going because you have lists of events, clues, riddles that allow them to get the big picture! Good luck with your project !

Use music made for Call of Ctulhu for ambiance !

Reading a book seems so absurd. Where do you live ?

Je dirai qu'on est à l'étape 3 mais je peux me tromper :)

C'est fou d'imaginer des mesures qui sont si prédatrices pour les français ahaha

Naaaan t'as encore gagné :(( tu spam tout le temps la même stratégie

Faudrait contraster avec le nombre de loi totale que le gouvernement a voulu passer. Si ils ont utilisé le 49.3 pour des lois majeures où ils avaient besoin de convaincre, ça veut tout dire... Et malheureusement c'est le cas !

C'est vrai, moi c'est mon problème j'ai tout le temps envie de migrer vers d'autres instances pour rencontrer d'autre gens. Là je voulais créer un compte ici pour parler plus avec des gens FR parce que je n'utilise jamais internet en Français ahaha

(Please when answering, assume I’m not a beginner at privacy/programming :) I know where the good stuff at)

First off, shameful confession: I’m writing this on a dying yellow iPhone XR I bought second-hand three years ago (189€). I absolutely love the look of it: the screen, build quality, are all amazing. The only problem was the locked ecosystem (sideloading Spotify/Torrent client was sooo hard).

I saw the android phone of my mother dying really fast. She currently has a Xiaomi phone that’s ridiculously big for my hands, there’s advertisements in the stocks apps (?!!), the UX is janky and everything. It looks like a bloat, privacy nightmare.

So… because it’s impossible to find a jailbreakable phone nowadays I need to buy an android and ideally I would want:

  • Good screen (vivid colors)
  • Good build quality (not shitty plastic)
  • Don’t care about the camera (I don’t want those ridiculously big cameras they make nowadays)
  • Would want to install either GrapheneOS/LineageOS

The things that scare me off:

  • I really need my bank app and I need it updated so I have to use Google Play Services but I don’t want it to plague my phone with privacy bullshit (I want to be degoogled)

The things that excite me:

  • Customization possibilities
  • Learning experience
  • Even more privacy than a de-googled IOS phone :)
  • F-Droid!! (Maybe I’ll find a beautiful IRC client)
  • More choices for Mastodon & Lemmy clients
  • Freedom of free software.
  • client for open-source git providers :)

But to get all of that, I don’t want Google, I need shitty apps (non-free software) I have to install:

  • Instagram (for non-technical friends)
  • GitHub (job & open-source)
  • No-Ad Modded Spotify from Balatan
  • Discord (gamer friends)
  • Telegram (cryptobros friends)
  • Steam (because I still love gaming)

Any advices? Phone ideas? I’m so lost in this ocean of choice (freedom ✨)

My current phone:

 

When I watch certain of his Youtube clips, etc... some things bug me off. What do you think of it?

 

For me, the first time this happened was with The Royal Assassin Saga from Robin Hobb, and then Metro 2033.

This year, it’s The Witcher saga… (I can’t move on) I love all those introspective books with thoughtful heroes trying to make sense of the world they are forced to evolve into.

Do you have any other book like that?

 
 

I have been learning C++/Elixir recently and I’ve made a distributed port scanner & and a streaming platform with Elixir (what an amazing language to work with) and some fun in C++ (also super cool to use).

I feel like I gained basic mastery of the languages, but I’ve been meaning to deepen my knowledge of them. However, I don’t know where to start now…

Can you give me ideas, open-source project that I could help, etc… ? Thanks!

 

I've been trying to learn a system language because it would enable me to access a whole new world of possibility for games, tools, and potential projects. My main problem when learning the language are:

  • can I write modern C++ code using the newer standards and still compile with libraries from older standards?
  • how do I even organize a C++ project? Look at the linked project, the CMakeList.txt is so hard to understand, the syntax looks so hard to write.
  • how do I install dependencies? You're going to laugh at me, but I always used languages with package managers and I looked again at the linked project, and they write a whole CMakeList.txt to import ImGui (GUI library I wanna try) but if you compare the structure of the files, it's different from the ones on the repository of ImGui.

As you see there are a lot of problems and it pains me to not be able to solve them because Rust is so unfun to use and work with! Do you think I should try C++, carry one with it?

Thanks, hector.

 

As in, the download speed you provide to the peers.

I've made a full archive of Yuzu

Hi I've made a full archive of Yuzu. That would include all their Github issues, the git repo on its last version, the latest available release binaries from the Github page, and all of their progress reports from the Yuzu website. The progress reports are good for understanding the general work and weaving a narrative in your mind about the trajectory of the Yuzu project, and the Github issues can outline resolved issues and outstanding ones.

I do not include any illicit materials in my archive. If you seek keys, roms, firmware, etc, you won't find it here.

magnet:?xt=urn:btih:404295db91d035ae11395ad1755ab7e5dc8b6f19&xt=urn:btmh:1220f2bd7dbfd7ec2e25c9e848cf0b17d771332e57e3ba109368e111c0a45967966e&dn=yuzu-full-archive&tr=udp%3a%2f%2fopentracker.i2p.rocks%3a6969%2fannounce&tr=udp%3a%2f%2ftracker.opentrackr.org%3a1337%2fannounce&tr=udp%3a%2f%2ftracker.auctor.tv%3a6969%2fannounce&tr=udp%3a%2f%2fopen.tracker.cl%3a1337%2fannounce&tr=udp%3a%2f%2ftracker.torrent.eu.org%3a451%2fannounce&tr=https%3a%2f%2fopentracker.i2p.rocks%3a443%2fannounce

While I'm happy to share this torrent for basically as long as possible, I do not have port forwarding available. So if anyone wishes to have these materials and possibly has a seedbox, please assist! Also this is like the first time I've ever created a torrent, but I'm pretty sure I did it right.

P.S. I am completely unrelated to Yuzu team members. I'm just a saddened user like everyone else.

 

I was watching the IGN overview on “No Rest For The Wicked” and they say that they abandoned the point-and-click system in favor of WASD because it was not precise enough.

I don’t mind it, either way is fine. However I love the League of Legends type of movement, it’s a factor that makes me still play the game.

(DotA has even better and precise movement mechanics but they are less fun I think)

It’s hard to master yeah, with the unlocked camera and all but I feel like you can be very precise and do exactly what you want: it is very satisfying.

What do you think? Do you know other games that use this point-and-click movement?
