I'm working with my wift in her crafts booth at an oddities fair today. Here's hoping for lots of sales!

@ObsidianUrbex Does the picture have something to do with selling calendars?

Finally, after several years, we completed the #Pathfinder #RiseOfTheRunelords campaign. IT was an epic slough that I wasn't sure I'd actually get myself across the finish line, but the players are happy, and this is something that I'm truly proud of. Everyone had fun, everyone liked their […]

@Vivaldi on the speed dial, is there a way to put background bubbles around the text of the icons? With the daily image backgrounds, it's often hard to see the text under the icons and folders. The text is often dark on dark images. But if I could put a bubble around the text, I'd be able to […]

The inaugural #13thAge game went well, overall. A couple of players were confused by their character abilities or missed some things when working on character creation. We started with pulling up the world map and worked out how the characters who did know each other actually met and worked out […]

I have a surprisingly robust weekend of gaming ahead of me. Tonight, we've got a session of our #Scion game. Tomorrow, I'm starting a #13thAge campaign with a new group (of old friends). I think it'll be a shorter session because I haven't read the entire module yet and there are four […]

One more session of my #Pathfinder #RiseOfTheRunelords campaign down, one more to go. We weren't able to get to the final, epic battle yesterday, but progress was finally made! We're so close to ending the campaign. Then I can move on to a system with far fewer stat modifiers and less to keep […]

@chris Fair enough. I read the odd X-Factor issues back in the 80s, but it wasn't my primary title. I do want to go back and see if they have any trades now.

Looks like it was less Budgie (but not NOT Budgie) and not installing the development package to let me compile C++ to practice coding.

@dzwiedziu Xfce is allowing some AI in their code. I'm looking at Budgie. My options are somewhat limited since I'm using Solus and I'd like to stay here for the time being.

Jeff @cynical13.social.vivaldi.net.ap.brid.gy · 22/09/2026

I'm not quite sure what to make of all of the #AI & #LLM chatter related to #KDE at the moment. I'll try and keep an eye on it, but it's making me reconsider #Budgie on my #Solus #Linux installs. Not having much luck at the moment finding info on Budgie's AI policy. Need to keep digging.

Maybe a month ago, I had applied for the Assistant Director position in my department. Today, I finally found out for sure that I didn't get it. I pretty much knew about a week and a half ago that I probably wasn't going to get it, but it took all that time to be official. They made an offer […]

No #TTRPG game tonight, unfortunately, but tomorrow is #SessionZero for a new #13thAge campaign. I think the end goal will be #EyesOfTheStoneThief. But first, I'll have to come up with where to start. I'm thinking #ShadowsOfEldolan then maybe #MakeYourOwnLuck but I have a little time to get […]

I am having one heck of a time trying to replace #Joplin with another note taking app that is #NoAI. I didn't realize that #JoplinNotes had a proprietary file type. That's making things a lot trickier. I like the way Joplin opened images within the note I was working with. I'm having trouble […]
