Finding new games/systems

Hi all! Just curious where some of you find out about new games/systems. I used to really enjoy the RPG Of The Month thread on old Reddit before the site really went in the crapper, but not sure where to find similar discussions nowadays.

Physical remote control?

Does anyone have any experience or recommendations for a physical remote control that can be used with HomeAssistant? I'm hoping to find a multi-button zigbee or wifi device that HA can recognize and allow me to configure buttons to HA automations.

I'm already using a couple single button devices that can be configured to perform different actions on single press, double press, and long press, but would love a single device with multiple buttons for some locations.

  • Yeah, that's good feedback. I usually don't like getting crazy with fonts and colors, but thought I'd give it a try here. I also almost always have a dark mode extension on in my browser which totally changes the look of the sheet, and I sometimes forget what the actual colors are.

  • Currently playing Werewolf the Apocalypse and will likely be playing Hunter when this campaign wraps up. I'm also hoping to get a chance to play some Pathfinder 2e and maybe run a Delta Green game. Would love to play Mothership at some point. Hope you all have a great new year of gaming!

    Werewolf The Apocalypse 5e - Character Sheet

    I prefer tracking my TTRPG characters digitally and really hate PDFs, so I tend to make custom spreadsheets for each game I play. This is one I made for Werewolf 5e that not only tracks the same info you would see on the standard PDF, but also includes info on gifts, rites, advantages, and forms so I don't have to dig thru the rulebook for the things I need most often.

    Feel free to copy and for yourself, or let me know here if there anything that could be improved in this shared sheet. I'll probably switch from Google Sheets to some other FOSS alternative in 2025.

    I've also got character sheets for Changling 5e, Vampire 20th, and Masks: A New Generation if anyone here is interested, but those are older and probably not as fully fleshed out as this Werewolf sheet.

  • I'm generally pretty skeptical of companies touting tree planting campaigns as it's often just greenwashing, but I'll give this a shot. So far, the search results aren't any worse than other Google alternatives.

    Where are all the artists at?

    I used to primarily use Instagram for following illustrators, sculptors, digital artists, etc., but I dropped Insta for obvious reasons.

    There was also a large exodus from Insta to Cara.app almost a year ago due to Meta's stupid policies on using Insta content to train AI. While Cara is generally a great site and has anti-AI policies (I'm not anti-AI, just anti the way most companies implement AI), my problem with Cara is that it's an owner funded site that will inevitably need to find a way to monetize the content/users.

    On the Fediverse, I'm on Lemmy, Mastodon (though I don't love the micro-blog format), and Pixelfed (very little activity).

    So my question is: What platforms in the Fediverse are you seeing the most original artist content?

  • Yeah, this report is designed with a transportation agenda in mind, so the graph only shows a select set of emission sources to make the tailpipe emissions look as bad as possible. Add in all other sources of emissions and the graph doesn't look quite as impressive for the point they're trying to make.

    Figure 1: In the 2019 statewide greenhouse gas emissions inventory, car tailpipes accounted for 119 MMTCO2e — roughly 28% of California’s overall emissions, and more than the emissions from the entire buildings sector and electricity sector combined.

  • I feel ya. I have a dog and three cats, but so far have not had an issue with hair or cable chewing. The frame is essentially just a kit of 2020 extruded aluminum t-slot rails with connectors. If I were to do this again, I would probably not go with a kit and instead just buy the rails and connectors I need for my specific motherboard/components. Also, any extra rails/connectors you get could go toward a DIY 3D printing frame (that's my next project)!

  • I'm trying out those settings you suggested and it does seem like it would mostly solve the issue for me, but you can see from the volume of comments that I am not alone in being unaware of the magic combination of settings that would make the default behavior of the app less frustrating.

    I think it's still a good idea to either prevent the back button from taking the user from their Posts page to the Communities page, or to include a method of returning to the last spot in the Posts page.

    Feature request: While browsing posts, disable back button taking you to the Communities page

    When browsing posts, it's far too easy to click the back navigation button on my device which currently takes me to the Communities page. The problem is, once you move away from the Posts page there doesn't seem to be any way of returning to your previous place in the Posts page.

    This could be solved a couple of ways:

    1. Disable the device's back navigation button from moving you away from the Posts page.
    2. Have some method of remembering and returning your the previous place in the Posts page.
  • I'm also not a fan of memes, but I acknowledge that many other people are. The most I can do is block communities that are expressly for memes and shrug off the rest. There's plenty of other places for grouches like us.

  • DeGoogle Yourself @lemmy.ml

    Recommendations?: Cloud-based storage + doc editor + spreadsheets

    I'm in the process of de-googling, and for the most part I'm pretty okay with using separate services for things like email, photos, calendar, etc... but the few things that I really like having bundled are Google Docs and Sheets in my Google Drive.

    There's plenty of good alternatives for cloud storage, but I haven't seen any that come with any sort of office-like products. I know that I can self host my own private cloud storage and something like OpenOffice, but I'm hoping to find an existing cloud solution so I don't have to bother with that maintenance.

    Any recommendations?

  • On one hand, there will always be idiots and those who will take advantage of them.

    On the other hand, I think less people would be susceptible to "alternative" remedies if there was more trust in the medical industry. That trust has been eroded quite a bit over the years.

    Alerts for expeditions?

    I tend to not hear about expeditions until it's too late... does anyone know of a way to get email or push notifications for upcoming expeditions?
