Hah, I’ve never gotten a bobblehead because I always use external ship view. I was today years old when I learned that they had a mechanical benefit.
I spend my quicksilver on building parts. I’ve gotten the few cosmetics for my traveler and ship that I need, but I really like having artwork on my base walls, so I buy all the posters.
This is the best thing I’ve seen all month.
If I understand correctly, the opinion explicitly focuses on Indian tribes as nations – i.e. legal entities – not races.
Interesting. I may have to switch over there – I also see the value in having downvotes as an option for content that just isn’t up to community snuff. Lemmy.one doesn’t have 'em.
So as much as I love the NMSGlyphExchange sub format, and want to get it recreated here, don’t sleep on https://nmsce.com/ for your ship-searching needs!
You’re a good man, Charlie Brown!
So I also tried that, step 7, and I still don’t get any results, days later.
Nope, it was really just the language and writing style. Actual plot was OK.
Recently filled in one of the gaps in the Culture series by the late, great Iain M Banks (that I didn’t even realize I’d missed!). Surface Detail is another quality entry, dealing with virtual afterlives and presents a little more context of the Culture in a broader galactic context than we normally see it.
I got through the first book in Three Body, but while I liked some of the philosophical and crazy-tech explorations, I really struggled with the writing/translation style. It was so stilted and awkward to read that it put me off trying to read the following volumes.
Great in-depth breakdown, but an important takeaway is that it’s prohibitively difficult to build an effective psionic in 5e with “normal” stat-generation. There’s a lot of hangover of 1e’s bias of “oh, you died, just roll another character” – eventually one will pop up with three >16 mental scores.
Still, it’s a fascinating rock-scissors-paper(-lizard-Spock) minigame system, and a nice way to revisit the edition of All The Tables.
I ran into this same frustrating problem. The whole “fetches in the background after you search” thing makes sense in a very “you are technically correct” kind of way, but it would be a much better user experience to just have a spinner and wait for the community/post to be fetched, rather than gaslight users.
Ah, thanks for the info. That’s not a great user experience, but at least it makes sense.
Right, I did that – steps 5, 6, and 7.
“Be the change you want to see in the world,” indeed!
Ok, so having gone through all of that, and subscribed to the lemmy.ml community, I tried posting and… not so good, Al.
Again, I wonder how much of this is my particular instance. > UI: v0.17.3
Nope, no JS blocker on my phone, and I even disabled the “Block This!” adblock VPN I usually have running to test it out. Desktop is a pretty vanilla FF install – and to see the same behavior (URL search failing) on both implies it’s a problem with lemmy.one or my account overall rather than the browser.
Oof. Very very wonky.
Mostly just: target walls. I often then put a florescent tube light – scaled down and rotated on the long axis – right above the poster to give it a gallery-like lighting effect.
Sometimes, depending on wall-building wonkiness, certain posters will clip through. Best thing I can suggest then is to put two flat-panels on the wall, overlapping and scaled down to just larger than you want your poster to be, then put the poster on top of those. Gives a nice “frame” effect. Buuuuuut that can be wonky too, and some posters will sometimes clip through the flat panels, for Reasons known only to HG.
Alternately, sometimes you can put a second poster on top of where the clipped one went, and that will stack enough that the second one sits “one top” of the wall.
