I gamemaster #Pathfinder RPG 1e with variant rules and I like to tweak my monsters.
I paint metal #miniatures.
I like learning about The Divestiture (of AT&T). I like pre-Divestiture telephones, though I only own one red Cortelco Kellogg 2500 Desk Telephone.
I like writing with a fountain pen, but I'm not a fountain pen collector.
I wrote a first draft manuscript but I keep procrastinating edits and further drafts.
Moved from Win10 to #Linux on 12 June 2023.
I also play #NWN:EE.

Yesterday I put #Obsidian on my PC. I am trying to figure out how I would benefit from using it.
So far I don't see a use-case for it that is better than how I use any other text editor. The window management seems clunky.
I'm trying to think of a reason to use its note linking/graphing feature. I'm just drawing a blank.
Maybe I could use it to "map" my #PathfinderRPG campaign, like cross-referencing characters and stuff, if I actually wrote it down, but I don't. It's in my head.
I just got home from my #Pathfinder1e #Ustalav game. Our scheduled session is 8 PM to 12 AM but we ran to about 2:30 AM because the party wanted to finish the multi-session Battle for Sen's Pass.
It concluded in Round 6. We played rounds 3 through 6 (four rounds) this session.
The allied coalition destroyed all the fire #skeletons and ash #wights, including the two skelly champions that tried to flee near the end of the battle.

Windows 11 and later updates of Win10 include Winget. Winget is a command-line tool that interacts with Microsoft store. You can download and install Chrome and/or Firefox with Winget.
I've used it. It's pretty convenient.
You never have to run Edge.
If you don't want to use a Microsoft tool or download from the Microsoft Store, there are less user-friendly options. I can't easily test which others work though as I've been on Linux for two and a half years.

I feel like I've read this before. Is it a quote from something?
Edit: I found it dear reader. It was in fact a quote from something.

I just looked it up.
Microsoft still has the page up announcing the free download of Outlook 98.
Link to the download page is broken though.

Ah, I remember 1998. I had a computer from 1995 with a 14400 baud modem but "unlimited" dial-up Internet.
As a promotion, Microsoft gave away Outlook 98 on their website at one point. I wanted it.
It was 25 MB, with its own downloader. The application was split into multiple .cab files, each 5 to 7 MB, and every time the phone got picked up or disconnected, it would have to roll back to the start of the most recent .cab file. I was online for days because of disconnects.
I like #MetalMiniatures. It is difficult to find metal miniatures of all the creatures I would like to have for my #TTRPG campaign.
In this instance, I'd like to find a metal gug that is decent. #ReaperMiniatures has a metal gug, but it's silly and cartoonish. (It looks like vagina dentata with limbs.)
The #PathfinderRPG gug has great art and I'd love to find something along the lines of their artwork. I've found some resin versions, but metal is elusive.
When Linux boots, my controller (GameSir Kaleid) detects as 3537:1012 in lsusb. My analog sticks don't work when the gamepad is detected with this ID. After I unplug the USB and plug it in again, it detects as 3537:1058 and the analog sticks work fine until the next reboot.
So far, I've just been re-plugging the controller whenever I play a game after a reboot, but does anyone know a way to set it to identify as 3537:1058 at boot? Would be nice to resolve.

I looked at the Steam store page.
I do see in the categories it is listed as "Online PVP" but you may want to say more explicitly in the description that it is PVP-only.
Also, "Might be the best net-code of any game ever made" could turn people off because it's such a bold claim.

I don't know about that logic. I read more of the store page of a free game than a paid game because I'm looking for red flags. A free game is more likely to my mind to have malware so I'm looking for excuses not to install it. Maybe I'm an outlier, but I doubt I'm the only one that thinks that way.

I tested backlinks, but now sure how I'd use them. (I guess they were backlinks they were double square brackets. I just thought they were links. I don't know the distinction.)
I don't know what I'd do with "daily notes." I like templates, but I have a process for templates already.
I don't do a Daily Todo list.
I don't grasp what "bases" does.
Slideshow of what?
Hashtags sound neat.
