Re: My Little Pony C: Friendship Carries On
Back. Did nothing at all, really, while away, aside from the Deep, walk, meditate and read and half a thought about some BattleTech number crunching exercises with occupied a very slight bit of time of useful thought, before it fell straight back into the current patterns. Reading does little now except further stoke the anger, just on different targets. Perhaps I should have stuck to the completely innocuous re-reading of Three Investigators before I felt, but I had thought Mercedes Lackey would have helped a little in that regard, but... Again, never touched Pokémon at all.

Re: My Little Pony C: Friendship Carries On
I made this a while back and wanted to get y'all's feedback on it! Basically on what classes the Mane 7 would be!

Re: My Little Pony C: Friendship Carries On
I just bought a new home desktop computer today.
This was overdue by years, my current computer is ancient and I use it a lot. In the ideal case, everything will arrive in a few days, I'll assemble it, and I have a hardware-complete computer that works perfectly. The likelihood of that ideal case is very low of course, because there are so many parts.
Also, this is the most money that I ever spent on a single day. This calls for a celebration.

Re: My Little Pony C: Friendship Carries On
I agree with pretty much all of them, though I wonder if Rarity's primary class should be Rogue or even Bard instead of Sorcerer? I can see why you'd assign it to her though, it being a charisma based class and Rarity being a unicorn, but she doesn't really display the kind of raw magical power that I associate with sorcerers. She isn't really a stage performer herself, but I feel bard would reflect her social skills and her talent for persuasion well. Especially if combined with rogue.
At first I wasn't sure about Spike being assigned the Paladin class, but I wouldn't know what else to assign him instead. And he does have that 'noble dragon' bit going in one of the episodes.

Re: My Little Pony C: Friendship Carries On
I really don't get the "shouldn't have made Pinkie a Bard" arguement in the comments. That's a bit like saying "shouldn't have made Twilight a Mage"... Yes, it is obvious. Best fits often are.
Not sure about Fluttershy's animal companion, though. I would have thought Angel would be a better fit. It feels as if Harry was put in just to get her an strong offensive option so she doesn't have to have a weapon, while I think Fluttershy should be more about avoiding fighting, even by proxy.Last edited by Manga Shoggoth; 2020-09-15 at 11:26 AM.

Re: My Little Pony C: Friendship Carries On
*sigh*
Juist NOTHING can work this year, can it?
I am trying to establish cloud storage as an emergancy off-site back-up (in case, like, the house burns down or something). After some research, and a talk, I opted for Amazon Web Services, which was cheap and I felt, lon-term reliable.
After a great deal of effort trying to understand how to use their Glacier stuff, and stopping where it started talking about having to break the files into batches of 1 meg or something and bypassed my understanding of programming entirely (it was talkiing about running stuff through the command prompt...). Throw up my hands, and went to the regular S3 service (double the price, from infintesimal, to slightly more infintesimal - like, it's 13% of a cent per gig per month at the expensive rate), which has drag-and-drop. Doesn't work wih Waterfox *sigh* so I fired up Edge (which is on the short list of browser purportedly supported, along with Chrome). Dragged everything over to the "bucket" (what you store stuff in) and turns out, a full back-up (not including game saves) is just under 70gig. Okay, fine.
Except that I keep getting a SBOX_FATAL_MEMORY_EXCEEDED error, which stops the uploads. It also tanks the memory increasingly hard - watched in task explorer on my last try for the day, with basically everything else shut down) and it climbed up to 70% ish before I noticed it had given up 25% of the way through merely a 1.1 gig folder with 9000 files.
So, that's ONE MORE job, I have to wait for someone else to get something organised, along with waiting for TheShop3D to put my moderns release up so I can do the release post, the new 3D printer to arrive (as incase I didn't say before, the Replicators carked it), so I can't, basically to ANY fracking work at all at the moment.
Changing the subject entirely:
Spoiler: Lyrical Lance
I SWEAR to Lichemaster, I did not start out with the intention to do that.
I always do my IS mechs a base of black through grey to white plus other colours on top - so that when fielded in a haphazard manner as they are, they don't look too jarring, and I picked turquoise because it's a relatively recent set of colours (I bought them for the Wodefs) that I hadn't used on mechs before, and I was doing a new colour scheme for this new, complete lance.
I thought that orange would be a nice colour for the cockpits, because it contrasted nicely.
Now, come to the end stage. All my lances, generally a little ad-hoc though they are, each have a little symbol or something and a nominal unit. (The attention actually paid to this in practise is very minimal, but its something...!)
First thought, because I'd been on the Transformers wiki recently was "hey, Top Spin is white and turquoise, maybe I should do like a little red thing a bit like an Autobot symbol!"
No. Turns out that even the rough shape of that is well beyond the abilities of my errant paint brush, even with a brand-new 5-0 brush.
"Okay, so, maybe a cloud, because a lightning bolt is a bit cliche (and also a bit Power Rangers), so, yeah a bit like Rainbow Dash," *gaze shifts to desktop pony cluster; spots Lyra*
*double take*
...
...
"I can probably do a lyre..."
And, of course, the smart ones among you will have already realised - Lyra's eyes are orangey!
And, of course, I DID do a Lyra-coloured model for the Xygritts...
So it is ENTIRELY possible that I sub-consiously went for orange cockpits on the basis that I had seen that colour scheme work.
What does it say that I now SUBCONSCIOUSLY pony?
(You will not, of course, that two of the lance are quads, too...)
With a different configuration of the stackable buildings - squeezed out an enormnous length on the back-up printer. (Still only partly painted, because I had to wait to get PAINT BRUSHES to be able to do any more painting on them, since I needed some cheap crappy ones as for some reason, they seemed to eat my last set of 3s alive...) Also pictured, my solution to having to track the movement to-hit modifer for BattleTech: instead of tracking the speed it last moved and then working out the hit modifier, cut-out the middle-lich and just use the markers with the appropriate number of chevrons to straight note the modifer. Idea shamelessly stolen from HBS BATTLETECH.

Re: My Little Pony C: Friendship Carries On
Looks like a Chrome/bowser issue - Several versions of it have been reported (and allegedly fixed).
If you are using S3 I recommend that you use the AWS CLI to copy files up and down - aws s3 cp will do single files and recursive copies (for doing a directory tree), and aws s3 sync will do a copy and update in one operation. In my experience it has been more stable than the browser-based stuff.
Check your bucket protections and make sure it is not set to Public Access. You may also want to consider encrypting it.
I usually use the CLI from a Linux vm, but the Windows version should work just as well. Drop me a PM if you want further details (I can't remember if you have my old email or the new one...).Warning: This posting may contain wit, wisdom, pathos, irony, satire, sarcasm and puns. And traces of nut.

Re: My Little Pony C: Friendship Carries On
I simply could not make heads nor tails of that, after looking at it, which is why I gave up and went to the other one with the drag-and-drop.
(It also suggested, like, massive amounts of time required.)
The help pages weren't very. They could really do with a page that says "right, this example shows you exactly how to upload a folder full of, say, photos called, say "Fred's Photos," so you can more or less paste this in and just change the names."
That I did manage, though it was, to be fair, default set to no public access.

I already back to the second internal HDD, occasionally to the external HDD, to my flash drives and to my tablet (where I can), and I only stopped backing to CD/DVD when it became functionally impossible because of the amount of data - just the critical stuff (nevemind mind the archives of, say, Mum's photos) was reaching multiple DVDs.)

Re: My Little Pony C: Friendship Carries On
AWS s3 synch isn't a live synchronise - it only operates when you run the command. However it works out what has changed in the area being coped, and only copies files that have changed or been added.
The Amazon documentation does take some getting used to. The depressing thing is that it is actually relatively good documentation compared to the rest of the field...Warning: This posting may contain wit, wisdom, pathos, irony, satire, sarcasm and puns. And traces of nut.

Re: My Little Pony C: Friendship Carries On
Well, I am going by 5e rules and while Fluttershy would be the type to avoid fighting, if she has to get involved, she will. She's a support-style character, but she does specialize in handling beasts as her thing.
I just went with the list of animals and reckoned Fluttershy would go with the brown bear rather than black. Besides, Angel has to stay at home and manage the other critters in her care while she's out and about.
I do appreciate your comments and so on though!

Re: My Little Pony C: Friendship Carries On
Yeah, the Slimy incident starts as a downer, but it gets better with a big heoric rescue. A lot of dice rolls worked for the team's benefit. I rolled so many 1s on perception checks. The building should have exploded honestly. XD
I am looking forward to this Sunday's next session. Team's gonna visit a church dedicated to the lady of the sun, Celestia. :3

Re: My Little Pony C: Friendship Carries On
That was a truly staggering number of nat 1s. In a parallel universe, that building was the epicenter of a conflagration comparable to the great fire of London.
You and me both! It will be interesting to see how ideas about Celestia have changed since she faded into myth.Many thanks to Meto30 for sketching this amazing piece of art, and for allowing me to use it as my avatar!

Re: My Little Pony C: Friendship Carries On
I have considered Bard but I didn’t wanna double dip with main classes. Rogue she had a few elements, but not enough to be her main class
Granted, I did go with Sorcerer because her gem spell is prominent in her work and making things beautiful, plus she is shown using more magic over time so she has the skills when push comes to shove, and all based on gems.
As for Spike, well he is devoted and more or less either Twilight or Rarity’s knight and he’s grown up nicely
I am glad you like them all!

Re: My Little Pony C: Friendship Carries On
Lol, yeah I imagine there was a great Seaddle fire that occured in that district. XD I should think about firefighters in 2054; a few pegasi with rain clouds probably won't cut it in such dense urban areas.
I let the players define a lot about the church, so the results will be a neat team effort put together.
We talking about Rarity? I liked the social rogue concept of her in the Friendship is Dragons web comic.

Somebody brought a pear-apple crisp to work today (which was raided before it made it to the breakroom), and I find myself wondering how many pear and apple mixtures AJ tried after finding out they were half-Pear.
