Morbid the Corvid@ttrpg.networkto Technology@lemmy.world•LG to offer subscriptions for already purchased appliances and televisions, evolving into a provider for “Home as a Service”English9·2 years agoJust don’t connect smart TVs to the internet. Get something cheap like a raspberry pi + wireless mouse/keyboard or an android TV box for the same functionality. (More functionality, actually)
Morbid the Corvid@ttrpg.networkto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What is something really stupid you purchased that turned out far better than expected?English41·2 years agoI got one as a gift. So dumb. Just what a I need in mug: IoT and a charger! /s Plus, I can just microwave a normal mug to heat it back up, but not this. And forget about the dishwasher.
…except now that I’ve used it. It’s pretty fucking nice not having to go over to the microwave when I inevitably forget about my drink. And if I use the charger as a coaster. That battery is always topped up. So, I understand its appeal.
Tl;dr: It’s dumb, but it’s also actually quite nice. I certainly wouldn’t buy myself one, but I enjoy using mine.

I can’t speak for Car Play, but wireless Android Auto is 95% flawless. There’s that 5% where I get in and the phone won’t connect automatically. But I think it’s an issue on the phone side. I have to unlock the phone then it kicks in.

Morbid the Corvid@ttrpg.networkto Dungeons and Dragons@lemmy.world•Returning to the Game8·2 years agoI’d like to add the OGL they were pushing would have effectively allowed them to steal homebrew and 3rd party content. They’d reserve the right to resell this content as their own or make it disappear altogether.
This would include supplements and adventures, of course, but the way it was worded, it would even include blogs and YouTube videos, etc.
Of course this isn’t a unique situation (Meta has done this forever, for example)

Morbid the Corvid@ttrpg.networkOPto rpg@ttrpg.network•The flaw with Mark of the Odd games21·2 years agoI suppose I see it as a flaw because it generally goes underutilized. It’s a cool mechanic, but only 1/3rd of it gets any regular use.
Morbid the Corvid@ttrpg.networkOPto rpg@ttrpg.network•The flaw with Mark of the Odd games1·2 years agoThanks, you make some good points.
Upon reflection, I do tend to approach the game with more combat than it’s designed for as my players love combat. And the general lack of dex and wil/cha attacks from sample foes in the various games just exacerbates the issue for me.
I like the Wil damage from casting spells in Mausritter. (If I remember correctly, Into the Dungeon: Revived does it as well.) It makes casting more high-stakes, which is something I love in a game. To me, magic should be scary, even to the one weilding it.
Pretty sure that’s just littering.
