This might sound antithetical to the privacy-by-default standard, but my wife and I currently share our photo rolls with each other (using Google Photos)--everything we take is automatically shared with the other.

Is there anything in Proton Drive/Photos that would allow this? Even if it's only available within a family plan or something. I know that with Drive, we could share a directory and everything in that would be available to the other, but I don't see this as an option in the photos.

Alternatively, I suppose we could both sign in to Proton Drive using a third account just for that purpose, but that's less ideal.

Yeah, it would be fun to see some of the smaller folk represented in particular. Dwarven Paladin, or maybe a Halfling Bard.

The fact that everyone has different characters that they love and/or hate suggests that the devs did a pretty good job.

The writing isn't stellar, but there's a wide range of character types, and one person's favorite is another's leaat. For me, Lae'zel and Astarion are insufferable (Lae'zel a little less so, but still annoying). But those are favorites of other people, so they're presumably not objectively bad, it's just a matter of taste.

My only wish is that there were one or two more, or at least that the others were introduced earlier in the game (hell no, I'm not changing my entire party dynamic in Act 3).

Can you imagine what it would look like if they chose someone like Jon Stewart instead? How a debate like that would have gone? A guy can dream...

Another consideration: changing email providers. Any email address using your custom domain can travel with you to other providers, where you can just set up another catch-all address. Aliases are specific to your email provider, so if you want to switch, you'd need to manually go to every site and update each login to a new alias.

And you can always get two domains--one for your more sensitive stuff, and a cheap generic one for the rest. A lot of domains are dirt cheap if you don't care what the TLD is.

Catch-alls are more easily traceable, yes, but depending on your privacy concerns vs convenience (and your fear of getting locked out of an account if your alias becomes unavailable, for example), it might be worth it for you.

Not sure why he lost. He could have claimed to run it through an AI that was only trained on the one picture.

It also gets a lot of research money. As a UW grad, I can confirm that the students are the absolute lowest priority though. If you're not in a research-focused post grad program, you're seen as a chore.

Shortly after getting a cell phone, I made a personal policy that most people don't get a free pass to interrupt my life whenever they want (there are a handful of people on the short list, of course). I've had friends and family comment that I'm hard to contact by phone, and I've always pleasantly agreed (and explained politely if they seem interested). Even texts or other messages can wait until I'm at a good place to respond.

For me, having my phone on silent most of the time is a mental health thing. I know people that have their attention diverted every few minutes, and I have no idea how they survive.

It was founded by a group of monks from the southern USA. Rather than building a chapel, they chose to live in a series of underground tunnels. The nearest town only saw the elusive monks once a year, when they would break their usual stoic diet and make traditional southern fried chicken for everyone in town.

They were known as the deep friars.

In one advanced culture, which has largely achieved pacifism through technological and cultural advancements, legal cases are heard by judges who have studied law and ethics extensively. Their maximum sentencing, though, is limited to temporary incarceration. For more severe sentences, such as permanent incarceration or death, the case is brought before the Matrial Seats.

The Matrial Seats is a group of seven volunteers who have physically borne and lost children. Only those who have brought life into the world, and felt the terrible loss of it, have sufficient authority to pass the most severe sentences. Unlike the General Courts, the Matrial Seats are not specially educated, and contain members from various social standings.

Update: at the recommendation of others, I logged out and back in again. Seems to be working!

Loving Eternity, thanks devs for all your work!

Lemmy.world updated today to 0.19.3, I think? Since then, I can load posts, but I can't vote, comment, or create new posts. When I attempt to do any of those, an empty toast bubble shows up, and that's it.

Anyone else experiencing the same?

Forgive me if this is well known already, but I don't think I've seen it posted here yet.

The lightning mage build is pretty well known, involving adding in two levels of Tempest Cleric for the channel divinity that maxes out lightning/thunder damage. And it's been noted that getting lightning vulnerability is easy with a bit of water. But what I haven't seen is trying to double things with a crit.

So why not mix in a few levels of Rogue? Here's the final split:

Assassin Rogue 3 / Tempest Cleric 2 / Blue Draconic Sorcerer 7

Assassin gives us access to easy crits on a surprise round. Taking Cleric to 2 and Sorcerer to 7 gets us a 5th level spell slot.

The crux of this setup is the Witch Bolt spell. The Assassin feature only works with an attack roll--most of your other lightning spells are saves. Witch Bolt also scales really well (1d12 per spell level).

So here's the math, assuming you're able to get a surprise round and throw some water:

  • Base damage: 5d12 (using your 5th level slot)
  • Double dice on auto-crit: 10d12
  • Channel divinity: 120 (max damage)
  • Draconic Sorcerer 6th level damage rider: +4 (assuming 18 CHA)
  • Vulnerability: x2 for a total of 248 damage
  • Two targets? Twinned Spell because why not

Note that my screenshot was using a 4th level slot and using a Wild Magic instead of Draconic Sorcerer. Mainly there to show that the math seems to work in game as I've proposed here.

Mixing in the Assassin makes sense for the lightning combo build as well: you can initiate combat by throwing water, then you instantly get your actions back to sling spells. And the other Rogue bonus action skills are helpful to get into position and land other attack-roll spells (by hiding first).

The build is viable at every level, too. Levels 1 to 3 are Rogue to Assassin, pretty straight forward. Next are two levels of Cleric, so now you're an Assassin with Sanctuary, Armor of Faith, and Bless. Then on level 6, you start adding in the lightning, and your nova builds from 100 damage (pretty respectable for level 6), going up by 48 every two levels after that.

You've got lots of flexibility here too. Want access to 2nd level Cleric spells instead of 4th level Sorcerer? Go with Assassin 3 / Tempest 3 / Draconic 6. Want more feats? Sacrifice a bit of damage and go with Assassin 4 / Tempest 4 / Draconic 4 to get three feats. Want to get two (slightly lesser) novas per short rest? Go Assassin 3 / Cleric 6 / Draconic 3.

Thoughts? Any other big nova builds that don't require an overly-specific setup?

Here's one of mine:

Jenga Fortress

Split Jenga pieces equally and sit in a large circle (on the floor or at a big table). Everyone has one piece that is marked. Then everyone builds a fortress to protect their marked piece (the marked piece must be stood up on its small side).

Everyone gets a projectile. We liked using those thick rubber bands that came on broccoli at the grocery store, but you could use Nerf guns, balled up paper, whatever--as long as it's not too light and not too heavy.

Once everyone is ready, take turns firing at each other's fortresses, trying to knock down their marked pieces. Nobody can touch their fortress at this point.

Last marked piece standing is the winner.
