Any Sins of a Solar Empire communities? (ttrpg.network)
 

Since Sins 2 just came out today, I hopped on Lemmy and was wondering if anyone else around here plays it, and where you hang out?

TIL there are three types of tears: basal, reflex, and psychic. Psychic tears, produced when we're sad, contain leucine enkephalin, a natural painkiller that helps us feel better. in c/[email protected]

Psychic Tears - That’s a good band name.

D&D and Pathfinder are the main ones, and Genesys sometimes when I can convince my players to give it a try. Currently trying to maybe get something going with Cyberpunk Red.

Original Sci Fi Flag Idea - Discuss and Critique Please (ttrpg.network)
 

I came up with an idea for a flag of an interstellar federation for a Sci Fi project I've got floating around in my head. I don't think anything much will come of it, but I figured I might as well share my flag idea with you guys and see what you think.

The Flag of the Neo-Terran Federation is as follows: A deep blue field with a single black pile in the top quadrant. It has a center charge of a golden Phoenix, in a stylized form similar to Art Deco, the leading edges of its outstretched wings following the lines of the black pile. Beneath the wings of the phoenix are a number of Stars equaling the systems of the Federation.

I would like to know what you think of this design, as well as what you can infer of the federation based on its symbolism; mainly to make sure I got the symbolism correct. If anyone wants to draw and post this, I would be thrilled to see it.

So, how serious are we about living on Mars at this point?

I think someone once said, “Freedom isn’t given, but must be fought for every generation.” Or something like that.

If not, I said it.

I understand this mathematically, but can somebody explain it logically?

We fought to abolish legal segregation (in these states) and eventually won. Keep fighting; we can win this too

I don’t think that’s an approved use of the Ab Abber 2000.

One thing they note: while you’re trying to break bits of the pressed tea cake off, do your best to keep the leaves intact.

Getting Tyrian 2000 to work on Steam Deck (ttrpg.network)
 

I know this might be a bit of a long shot, but I figured I would give it a go;

I am trying to get Tyrian 2000 to work properly on my Steam Deck, via installing it from my gog library on Heroic. While it managed to install correctly I have a few issues that need to be resolved before I can continue;

The controller support is non-existent. I am unsure if that is fixable, though I suspect I might be able to get around it by remapping the Steam Deck controls. Not really a problem though if anybody knows a solution I'd be happy to hear it.

The real issue is that the music is not playing. Sound effects work just fine, so far, but I don't get any music. I suspect it has something to do with Dosbox, given the age of the game in question.

I’m trying to put a vinyl skin on my Steam Deck, and I’m having trouble; it keeps wrinkling up at the bottoms of the grips. Any suggestions?
