I maintain that, from the perspective of a SOC analyst, the difference between an admin doing admin things and an adversary doing adversary things....
Is often just a ticket number.
Swapping a charger between two laptops whenever one gets low feels like one of those scenes where two people have to share the same oxygen tank to stay alive, passing it back and forth between each other.
Yes, I could plug in another power brick, but this is not the point.
New Ravenloft book for the TTRPG crew: https://www.dungeonsanddragons.com/ravenloft/
Color tarokka deck, a few new subclasses. (Reanimator artificer. Is this the first time they've officially published an artificer thingy outside of the book with artificer?)
Hoping the rest isn't a rehash. Ravenloft is like... one of their biggest things (Curse of Strahd is a huge thing for folks) and messing it up would be... not great.
(Still mad about what happened with Spelljammer.)
I was reminded I have a bluetooth keyboard. (60% redragon k530.) Pair that with my D&D tablet, sync it through an obsidian vault for my writing.
Just need a case for my keyboard for portability's sake. Done and done.
I enjoy writing as a hobby, but getting a portable thing to write on that isn't my phone is... a concern.
Every time I go to look at a dedicated writing device (think like a freewrite) I'll admit, I boggle, hard. They're all *incredibly* expensive. That freewrite I mentioned? Like $550.
I can get 8 gigs of RAM and one of those stupid RGB spacers for that.
Part of me wants to work up some kinda cyberdeck-y writing machine using a Pi Zero W 2, an e-ink screen, and a decent keyboard. At that point, though, I may as well take a thinkpad or a basic chromebook (with linux on it, because to hell w/ chromeos) and use that...
EDIT: Okay, I guess the idea of making my own writing device isn't exactly unique.
I've had the most diabolical idea I've ever had.
Crowdfunded YouTube ad campaign that's just a 30s preroll of Never Gonna Give You Up.
This isn't even an April fools thing. It's just an evil thought. :D
When I bought my current phone, I also got a screen protector for it. I wanted to break my cycle of buying a new phone every year or so, which meant planning for longevity.
Enter the tempered glass screen protector.
Last night, I abruptly and aggressively hugged the ground, and in doing so sent my phone off to fight its own fight in the battle with concrete.
Screen protector mauled, case mauled. Underlying tech? Protected and unscathed. Worst I had to worry about was the protector coming apart during extraction and replacement. (Pro tip: packing tape over the broken protector when replacing it.)
Moral of the story: Better a sacrificial screen protector at $20 to replace than a whole ass screen at $150+.
A new microsd card, this time for my gaming laptop, with 1.5tb of storage.
I remain mind blown at the sheer concept of such storage amounts on so tiny a piece of physical media. Just wild to me.
I'm running a one shot that involves my players sussing out a potential threat at a ball. RP heavy session - with a couple of twists.
- Rumor cards! Some true. Some false. Some somewhere between. I made up ten for six players - and I'm not going to hide from them that there are rumors they're not getting. :D
- The McGuffin of the session: All drinks are served in glasses that show you a memory from the last person who drank from the cup. Gives options for things like a sneaky type to make off with a suspect's glass to get a peek between their ears, while opening up RP between players. Wanna see some backstory? Share a drink!
