  • My 2 cents is that at the low levels, players need a bit of a buffer. A Lvl1 wizard with +0 CON can be one-shot by a goblin rolling a crit, to say nothing of the bugbear boss of the first encounter in Lost Mines of Phandelver (many people’s first introduction to DnD 5e)

    So minor selective fudging to keep the characters alive long enough for them to at least be wealthy enough to afford a Revivify seems like a small and harmless enough concession to me








  • Been having a rough January because I’m living with my GF and her family, but I’m unemployed and can’t really contribute, which makes me feel shitty.

    I’m doing my PhD, but job hunting has not got me anywhere for the past 7 months, and my savings are pretty much exhausted.

    This has made it very difficult to maintain good habits and has led to binge drinking to switch my brain off






  • Not a whole lot of experience distro-hopping here (went from Ubuntu to Endeavour and haven’t really changed since) but from what I know it seems like most distros have their place. Arch is highly customisable and all rolling release distros are good for gamers and those who need the latest software. Debian, Ubuntu, Mint, and other LTS distros are good for servers and newcomers (fewer big updates and therefore fewer potential crises)

    For the sake of answering the question, I’d say Ubuntu is my least favourite. Its pretty bloated, and then there’s the whole snap fiasco





  • Not an expert, but to me it sounds like the issue is that “on demand” uses the iGPU for regular desktop parts and calls for the dGPU when you switch to something requiring more horsepower

    The problem with this might be that the execution of this is slow and there’s a few seconds between the iGPU switching off and the dGPU switching on
