Is there a way to change the color of the sign-in area? I like the contrast that the green text provides on the dashboard.

Screenshot from Chrome.  Also noticed that I can't see the edit button either; just the "quote" button.

{Edit: nevermind; just discovered that Edit option is now under the "..." drop-down menu 😛 (see attachment #2)

The new layout looks good overall, but now the sign-in button doesn't show for me. Doesn't matter if I use Firefox or Chrome; same result.

I motion a merging, with a thematic split between hardware and software in mind of things grow too busy.

I second that.

Should my Character Generators thread be merged into "Cool RPG tools, widgets, and decorum"?

If there was a retro game you would like to see get this treatment - what would it be?

Heh, I don't know where to begin...

*thinks*

I still have Shining in the Darkness & Gargoyles for the Genisis, so it could be cool to see what they can do with those games.

Speaking of bug fixes, the Aladdin/The Lion King Pack that came out last year has a Final Mix version of Aladdin with said bug fixes. The Kunio & Double Dragon Collection also has updated versions of their NES games that run a lot better compared to the originals too.

I approve of that

It's quite common for females to voice male characters, especially younger ones, in animation.

If memory serves me correct, Tara Strong is well know for doing this.

 

Yup; and Romi Pak pretty much made a career out of it.

How is the local atmosphere over tik-tock affected all this?

That depends on how you define "local". The way I see it, the CCP has kept American apps out of China for as long as apps have existed; it's past time we reciprocated.

Tik Tok lost a huge market when it was banned in India.

The TikTok app has been installed about 2 billion times globally, according to mobile insights firm Sensor Tower. India accounted for 611 million of those downloads, the firm said.

I'll see if I can dig up anything that says how many downloads were from the U.S.

{Edit: according to this Oberlo article, which was written in July, Tik Tok had been downloaded 165 million times in the U.S.

From Statistica (Feb 28, 2020):

In 2019, social video app TikTok had approximately 37.2 million users in the United States.

Anybody here familiar with Pathfinder? 2nd Edition is out, and Puffin has plenty to say about it:

Looks like this one was uploaded fairly recently:

I pulled out an old game-book and played through it recently. It's a loose adaptation of the I6 "Ravenloft" module titled "Master of Ravenloft". You play a 15th level Paladin named Jeren Sureblade (lol) who enters the village of Barovia and soon rescues a girl named Irena. She tells you all the dirt she has on Strahd & the rest of the book takes place inside Castle Ravenloft. Three pre-game rolls determine the locations of 3 key things within the castle: the Sunsword, the Holy Medalion of Ravenkind, and Strahd himself. This gives it more re-play value, like the module upon which it is based. There are other things you can find in the castle too, such as healing potions and Holy Water. Unlike the module, your character only has three stats: Fighting, Dexterity, and Wisdom; there are a few occasions in which you'll need to make checks against them, btw. I'd forgotten how much fun this book can be, but there are only three ways it can end: 1) Strahd kicks your butt 2)You kick Strahd's butt, but he'll eventually revive & return 3)You figure out how to destroy Strahd permanetly.

*posts scans*

Strahd's comment about paladins gave me a chuckle

That reminds me that I need to check the pet thread because I don't think I've posted a photo of her there.

She has something in common with my mother then ;D

Oh yes, and that evil purple one to the side? That's War Lilac. From Freedom Dies With Me. My design, more or less. I like it.

I do too ^.^

It's not an excuse, but I still don't see things the exact same as most others.

Sometimes that can be a -good- thing; my experience is that the majority is often wrong about many things

I'll show you what the ICR looks like. It's a simple thing, really. An update of the HK416/M27 from Black Ops II. What they do, is...uh, this;

Ugh! That was obviously designed by somebody who doesn't handle firearms very often (if at all) >.<

FYI, Serious Sam titles like to poke fun at things so the series' name is a bit of a misnomer. That pic you posted is typical of their style of humor.

I find It's a balance really, as too many smooth and textureless styles can end up lacking any creativity (fallout 4 exemplifies this trend in games), alternatively the excess in moving parts and hard edges can lead to a form of sensory overload

Agreed.

When I saw that Clash of Kings was on the list of Chinese apps that were banned in India, I did a little digging and found this:

CLASH OF KINGS Ripoff Reports, Complaints, Reviews, Scams, Lawsuits and Frauds Reported

Only 2 reports were filed, but the one filed back in January claimed:

Short packages. Shields that lapse early. Zero customer service. Even Google was confused.

Full report can be found here.

The 2nd report is short enough to quote entirely:

Spent a lot of money on this game and they rip you off when you upgrade....said i didn't when I did and even after I sent picture proof....they still gave me the run around that I didn't....frequent FREQQUENT crash problems that are never compensated....locked out of game for 17 hours during critical war times of game and never compensated for the game crash for every player I play with along with countless other game errors that they never have fixed....its a joke and not a reputable game

For a second there, I was thinking this topic was gonna be about Sonic Character Generators.

Well, that's a cool idea, but there aren't many of those around. There used to be one at Newgrounds but I can't find the link to it now 😛 The one at Deviant Art is no longer there.

I -did- find this one tho': Create a Sonic Character Online

Honestly, is it weird to say Peggy Hill is a greatly written character but also a terrible character at the same time?

That's not weird; a terrible character can be greatly (or at least believably) written. I'm not a big fan of the series, but it has its moments.

Black Widow was delayed, Shang-Chi, “Falcon and the Winter Soldier,” “WandaVision,” and “Loki” are all on production hiatus due to the beervirus

^This is no surprise; All movie production took a big hit from the pandemic >.<

(yeah, I forgot "C" meant cinematic instead of comic :P)

The X-Men part of the MCU is still weird IMHO with all that Krakoan stuff going on, so I really haven't been buying many X-title lately. Deadpool is currently King of the Monsters, and it's been an interesting ride so far.

Cool. Expect a PM

Do any of you use online character generators? (Doesn't matter if it's for NPCs or even PCs, btw)

I think I found a good one for D&D 5e here: Fast Character gets you playing fast.

{Edit: I didn't see any options for multi-classed character though}

Yes, and my Genesis 3 is still hooked up to it
