Darrow from the Red Rising series. I think he fits the bill a bit, but he does flip flop between hero, anti hero, and villain, so maybe not a complete fit.

My ADHD brain counting all the legs on these mfers for the past five minutes…
Though non-toxic, it seems liquid silicone can block the bood pathways in your body if it gets in your system. Also, industrial grade (and cheaper) silicone can contain toxic additives, which has been causing a stir lately.
However, accidentally ingesting a tiny amount of non-liquid food grade silicone particulates shouldn’t raise any concerns, but I see why op might still be wary about it in a spigot.
To op: Have you considered getting a spigot with silicone o-rings and buying third party natural rubber o-rings to replace them with?
Edit: Ah, just reread that you did for the gaskets. Hm. Lemme see if I can find anything.
Edit 2: I found a site selling natural rubber gasket material. You may have to cut it to size:
Edit 3: Natural rubber spigot o-rings doesn’t seem to yield many results, but I got some hits for natural rubber faucet o-rings. Maybe try there? Hope you find what you’re looking for.
Eyedust@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Open Source@lemmy.ml•A FOSS Android project looking for a 15-minute helpEnglish1·10 days agoI agree with you on that point. I got overly ambitious and have always wondered about making my own icon pack. When you do release, you should reach out to Delta icons in F-Droid and see if you can get your app requested! Everone gets one app request for free, and the project is completely free and open source.
I’ll post a finished product when it’s done if you want to use it anywhere. You can freely have it and license it under your project if you wish. I’ll try to finish it by tomorrow, and in the meantime if you have any other requests for art that you need, do not hesitate to ask. I think this is an amazing idea, and honestly could see other utilization for it.
For example, a color naming tool for the colorblind. With the way AI is, it could present examples of things of that color. For example, a lime green could show a tennis ball, bright grass, and other such samples. Could possibly used in aiding colorblind individuals in painting or digital art (though the paintings that come from a fully colorblind artist are wild and really cool when they just pick from the grays that look good to them).
Eyedust@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Open Source@lemmy.ml•A FOSS Android project looking for a 15-minute helpEnglish2·11 days agoThis was what I was thinking. Vectoring the continents takes a bit of time, but it’s pretty fun, actually. I want to get some iris details in there, but would also like a bit of feedback from the community.
If you already have something else, that’s good as well. I honestly am having fun making this and I needed to get back into vector art anyway.
Eyedust@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Open Source@lemmy.ml•A FOSS Android project looking for a 15-minute helpEnglish2·11 days agoLet me take a fresh look at this in the morning. I’m having the itch to get up, boot up Inkscape and get something going via vector, but my sleep schedule will be completely screwed if I do that.
I’ll try to set an alarm or something, as I have pretty severe and unmedicated ADHD, but if someone could reply to this as well, as an extra reminder, I’d be grateful. I’ll probably remember when I open the app tomorrow, but better safe than sorry.
Its not often I get the itch to draw, but this really leaps out at me and I want to try. I have an idea of how I’d go about it. An eye looking slightly skyward with Earth as the pupil (if it hasn’t been done for something else yet). I don’t know if it’s within my skill, though.
Also, I believe there’s a way to translate vector to XML. I think I did it once when I was making a custom theme for MusicBee, but I’ll have to look again to be sure.
I didn’t mean to imply that you were suggesting Discord. I was just agreeing with you that channels would really help.
Sorry about that. I meant that OP could check out Revolt for an open source chat that had channels.
I agree here. As much as I hate Discord, it would be much better geared for this. Have you considered Revolt? I haven’t tried it myself, but it is the most prominent open source solution to Discord.
Eyedust@lemmy.dbzer0.comto RPGMemes @ttrpg.network•Splitting the party from session 1English23·21 days agoYou can get away with it while having some downtime in a village. The bard is making coin in the tavern and the barbarian is drinking in the same place, the priest visits the local chapel, the warlock looks to spend some coin on magic baubles, etc. This also increases the creativity in which you can give your players their next quest.
But once you’re out adventuring on that quest, you’re a goddamn party. If you don’t want to be a party, then go home and play a single player game.
Edit: I have had good DMs separate the party themselves though, but we always spend it trying to find each other again.
I used to go to the retirement home in the cul-de-sac down the road. No kids really thought about going there, they’d just stay on their own roads and streets. The old lonely folks there were practically waiting at the door, all outside lights on. My friend and I would make out like bandits every year with big bars, popcorn balls, homemade fudge and cake bars. Literal pillowcases full of top shelf candy and baked goods.
Eyedust@lemmy.dbzer0.comto World News@lemmy.ml•Officers shoot rubber bullet at reporter for "9 News Austraila" reporting in downtown LAEnglish3·29 days agoI can’t be sure, but it almost looks like the cop who shot her bent over laughing after. Watch them closely, the smoke nearly hides it. They take a split second like, “Should I do it?” then haul up and fire. Then it looks like, “Aw, I only shot her in the leg as a joke.” Innocent prank, I’m sure… cunts.
Eyedust@lemmy.dbzer0.comto World News@lemmy.ml•Officers shoot rubber bullet at reporter for "9 News Austraila" reporting in downtown LAEnglish5·29 days agoNo, that would be assault with a deadly weapon. Everything is deadly in the hands of anyone who’s not a cop, remember.
It happens to layouts. Some people add some small changes to make an alternate layout which makes more sense to them. For example, Colemak and Colemak-DH. DH only changes 3 keys, shifts 3, and swaps 2.
Eyedust@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Linux@lemmy.ml•What have been your costliest mistakes in using Linux?English11·1 month agoUsing
topgrade
without realizing what I was doing. Seemed okay for a few days until my headphones suddenly jacked to 1000 and began some sort of alarm-like buzzing. Thankfully they were not on my head, because it was so loud my gf and I thought there was some sort of fire alarm going off. This was on EndeavourOS.I tried
topgrade
again, not knowing that the app was what had done it. This time on vanilla Arch. I was not so fortunate this round and I took the sound full blast into my earholes. I reacted in milliseconds and Hulk-smash threw them halfway across the room. No lasting damage since I was so quick, but fuck me wearing headphones is more dangerous than I thought.Luckily I’ve learned from past mistakes and made Timeshift restore points before every update. I reverted to before the
topgrade
changes and my distro has still been holding strong since then. I think I’ll make my own alias for full upgrade and call itupdawg

You should check out GURPS. Its a simpler system with universal campaigns (modern, fantasy, mech, dimension hopping, steampunk). The system is super easy. You start with 100 points to make your character. You can spend them on stats, skills, spells, and perks. You can even gain more points by taking quirks.
You roll 3d6 for everything. Your goal is to get under your skill number. Fireball of 13 needs to roll under 13. If its raining or something, your GM can choose to put a -4 on that. So now you need to roll under 9. Just simple addition and subtraction, but it works really well.
D&D players aren’t satanists. They’re much worse. They’re math addicts.
Eyedust@lemmy.dbzer0.comOPto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Hey Lemmy, what browser do you use and why?English1·1 month agoI need to try Librewolf. I’ve seen the praises it gets here on Lemmy. I’ve been holding off, because I feel like Floorp is very similar. I may try Firedragon as well, but I feel like it may be rather bloated as far as FF forks go.
99% of the time a dual boot doesn’t work its because of Windows. There should be no real reason that Mint fails anything simple as long as its compatible with your system. I’ve seen others report that Windows will occasionally destroy a dual boot when updating.
Eyedust@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Free and Open Source Software@beehaw.org•The Forced Firefox Terms of Use (ToS) Clickwrap Agreement is HereEnglish1·1 month agoI haven’t used base Firefox in years, tbh. I’m sure that there’s honestly no harm or foul here, but I’m not risking it anyway. I was using Zen, but Zen bloated itself so fast. You can now visually see a huge difference when switching from Zen to Floorp, so now Floorp is my number one again. Its a shame because Zen is gorgeous, but it was twenty times faster literally just two months ago. I can say for now that both Zen and Floorp don’t ask you to agree to the ToS.
For android I’ve been using Fennec. Its taken the mantle of Mull since Mull shut down and has everything you could want in a mobile browser. I have tried Ironfox, too, and its not too bad, but it has issues when opening through other apps and a lot of browser based logins don’t recognize inside their apps when you login through it. Two more honorable mentions for Android: Iceraven and Fulguris. Iceraven is a slightly more stripped down Fennec with less search engines and such, and Fulguris is it’s own thing, but has some of the problems that Ironfox does.
To be honest, I’ve only read the first three. I was very happy with how it left off and my gf says that the other two are hard reads. I still make sure she doesn’t spoil anything, but I’m unsure if I want to leave it where it is and be ignorantly happy, or read further and see what happens.
I may revisit them when the series is complete.
