ended up working on an NPC's quest for about 8 hours today, finished the whole thing. it technically isn't completable until i add in another quest, since it relies on an item you can only acquire by completing that quest, but if you have that item the one i created today is totally finished!

@xianc78 git is actually more complex than i need it to be. too much of a hassle, to be honest. i just need files to automatically sync over and i don't need detailed versioning. i'm the only guy working on the project, and it's just between 2 PCs, so using git just seems unnecessary for the time being.

i use google drive sync. it's the best way i've found to sync the game's folder between 2 PCs. other ones have had other stipulations or are just harder to use and not really worth it, or i've had other issues when trying them out (i've tried onedrive, syncthing, and nextcloud).

the problem was basically that i had gotten a new laptop and had to set up the sync from my PC to that laptop again. annoying that i had to mess around with it a little bit but it's still the most convenient i've used.

i wish i could just work off of a flash drive but RPG Maker doesn't like that very much, files start getting corrupted unfortunately. and of course, the slower speed.

as for the versioning that i do actually do, though, i routinely make full backups and store them in multiple places, both on and offline. i've got about 20 different versions of the game all zipped up just in case i ever need to go back and look at them or grab some file that got corrupted or something like that. plus it'll be kind of cool to look back on them one day. google drive also has pretty basic versioning too so if something screws up on a sync and really gets fucked i'd be able to recover the past few versions of a file if i wanted to.

it works for me most of the time, this is only the second time the official app has fucked up and it was pretty easy to fix. last time, i think it may have been because my laptop was just in the process of shitting the bed xD

@Awoo @MK2boogaloo at least in 5e, the assassin rogue subclass is capable of dealing some pretty absurd damage. get you three levels as an assassin rogue and you get advantage on any creature who hasn't taken a turn in combat, and remember you get to add sneak attack dice to one of those attack rolls. then add that they auto crit any enemy who is surprised. very high chance of critical damage. i frequently have the ranger/rogue in my group dealing 50-60 damage on a crit.

@xianc78 you bet

got some great work done on the game today. was going to do more work when i got home but of course, no matter what method of syncing files i use something always gets fucked up somehow, so i gotta do some cleaning up for a little bit instead.

everyone have a great day

@CumskinFoidPuncher69420 @caekislove @Ottovonshitpost @Bill_Boone @LouisConde @sickburnbro I stopped reading books when I got halfway through brisingr and read the same page 20 times because it was so full of useless bullshit I couldn't stay focused on what I was reading and would start daydreaming about other things.

@matrix wario time

@Jazzy_Butts I hope the kitty is okay.

@pagat saaame, most of them are getting old to look at.

@okabe_rintarou yeah super easy, Wiimote connects over Bluetooth and a program called WiitarThing converts it into an Xbox controller for the game to read. It's EZPZ. Wiitars are one of the best ones to use, too, and are even better if you get a raphnet adapter for them to be plugged in via USB with no Wiimote.
