Yes, by plot I of course mean those things that happened

Every proposal to save the world ultimately comes back to the plot of The Core

1. Think of a pun like “mathemagician” or “orcward”
2. Build a joke NPC around the pun
3. Shoe-horn the NPC into whatever is going on
4. Think of some quest vaguely related to what they might like
5. That’s the main quest now

Classic BBC bias!

Lazing around

As appropriate for a post about fish I’ve taken the bait and looked up just what the fuck is going on. It’s a barreleye or macropinna microstoma and it’s pretty cool.

They’ve not even said what’s wrong with the batteries though (have they?)

Actually a pretty interesting read about how lithium battery technology works. The big unanswered question is still why is any of this necessary?, but I’ve been interested in Android long enough not to expect answers from Google.

I imagine it’s just based on the camera app you’re using. Mine (GrapheneOS camera, lol) has an option to remove all EXIF data.

What exactly is it? I’ve never noticed anything I’d describe as “stutter”.

This is such a small thing but it infuriates me every time I have to use Microsoft’s stupid “docs” site. Great QoL feature if it works!

Can’t you also just set your phone camera to not save any metadata in the first place?

Yeah I understood what you meant by “intransparent” but it’s not something I’ve ever heard anyone say. “Opaque” is the opposite of the literal meaning of transparent, e.g. a window is transparent, a wall is opaque.

To describe information not being shown I’d probably say obfuscated, opaque, or maybe just hidden.

Sometimes you want to get the jump on a foe or wait for a particular circumstance before you act. To do so, you can take the Ready action on your turn, which lets you act using your reaction before the start of your next turn.

First, you decide what perceivable circumstance will trigger your reaction. Then, you choose the action you will take in response to that trigger, or you choose to move up to your speed in response to it. Examples include “If the cultist steps on the trapdoor, I’ll pull the lever that opens it,” and “If the goblin steps next to me, I move away.”

When the trigger occurs, you can either take your reaction right after the trigger finishes or ignore the trigger. Remember that you can take only one reaction per round.

When you ready a spell, you cast it as normal but hold its energy, which you release with your reaction when the trigger occurs. To be readied, a spell must have a casting time of 1 action, and holding onto the spell’s magic requires concentration (explained in chapter 10). If your concentration is broken, the spell dissipates without taking effect. For example, if you are concentrating on the web spell and ready magic missile, your web spell ends, and if you take damage before you release magic missile with your reaction, your concentration might be broken.

You have until the start of your next turn to use a readied action.

intransparent

Opaque?

or part of the screen

So… on-screen buttons?

What’s with the image?

Do you see them in the rainbow? That’s because they’re lies!

What’s the point though? You can already double-tap the power button to open the camera and use the volume buttons to trigger it.

Sure it’s something a bit different, but if this is all they’ve got to announce…

They probably wouldn’t be that familiar with the workings of a lift either
