Für ein zu erstellendes Logo möchte ich eine Farbe wählen die eine giftig aussehende Flüssigkeit darstellt. Was würdet ihr denn da nehmen? #ff00ff vielleicht oder komplementär #00ff00?

@xan probably not, but also wouldnt be me ever i like my hackertranny themes (#000000 background, #FF00FF Text/links, #00FF00 secondary text, #00FFFF unclicked links)

all these years later, i still internally refer to #FF00FF as death magenta and #00FFFF as death cyan, a carryover from when these used to be used as transparent colors in certain game engines that had no alpha channel support

I coudn't figure out how to stop it, but I did figure out where in the ROM it stored the intended color ramp, and just overwrote it with a bunch of #FF00FF

Just released vscode-xml 0.29.0. The new feature is that the colour picker works with hex colours that don't have a leading `#`; i.e. it will work properly for `#FF00FF` and `FF00FF`.

#vscode #xml

#ff00ff

@coolbean if i made a theme itd be highcontrast

BG: #000000 txt1: #FF00FF txt2: #00FF00 txt3: #00FFFF

pixel 10,10 #FF00FF

Endlich war die Zeit gekommen, wir Überwintern in Portugal. Wir nahmen uns vor ganz gemütlich die gleiche Mautfreie Strecke  wie vor zwei Jahren zu nehmen, nur dann über Nazare` zu fahren. Den Norden Portugals mitnehmen, dann den Westen bis runter zur Algarve. Kurz die Algarve schrammen , dann weiter wieder nach Spanien. Gibraltar lockt uns sehr, weil ich…

How many pixels in a space on this or that font?

All about #FF00FF and #00FFFF specifically?

Making a programming language from cuneiform?

@eniko good question...

Personally, I usually do smaller pallets, but consider looking at some inspiring colours bots and games.

Maybe start with the absolute basics.

#000000 (black)
#00FF00 (green)
#FF8000 (amber)
#FFFFFF (white)
#FF0000 (red)
#0000FF (blue)
#FFFF00 (yellow)
#FF00FF (pink)
#00FFFF (turquise)
#808080 (mid grey)

And maybe look at existing pallets like #RAL classic, which are 216 more colours to go with...

Not just industrial colours tho...

I got excited at the idea of calc/clamping color lightness in hsl() only to discover that there is no way to do it that will work in all browsers 😢.

Adding percentages works in Safari, doesn't work in FF and Chrome:
background-color: hsl(from #ff00ff h s calc(l + 30%))

Adding numbers works in FF and Chrome, doesn't work in Safari:
background-color: hsl(from #ff00ff h s calc(l + 30))

Here's a code pen: https://codepen.io/angelikatyborska/pen/MYgwJyv

Please somebody tell me that I'm wrong?

@TengoHipo This looks an awful lot like early 1980s IBM PC CGA colours, maybe you should try converting it to 320x200 in 4 colours, 2-bit colour palette. Just plain white, magenta, cyan, black #ffffff #ff00ff #00ffff #000000

Most people in offices didn't have the luxury of a colour screen though (if they even had a CGA card installed and not just an MDA card that couldn't do any graphics at all, just plain ASCII text) and had to look at their pie charts in four shades of green or amber instead. I wonder if CGA palette 0 (white, magenta, cyan) with background colour 0 (black) as the IBM CGA default was responsible for the use of these colours in so many futuristic airbrush posters of the day, or if that was just parallel evolution.

The colours of CheerLights!

These are the colours the bot recognizes:
red (#FF0000)
green (#008000)
blue (#0000FF)
cyan (#00FFFF)
white (#FFFFFF)
oldlace (#FDF5E6)
purple (#800080)
magenta (#FF00FF)
yellow (#FFFF00)
orange (#FFA500)
pink (#FFC0CB)

I’m pulling together some thoughts I was moved to post on social media regarding the standard D&D spellcasting classes. I don’t know if any of this is incredibly profound, but I’ve also learned that I can’t trust social media as a storage format for my thoughts, so here’s hoping you don’t mind me sharing.

Over the years, I’ve posted many articles about the philosophical differences between different spell casters in D&D, yet I’m still moved to take another run at it occasionally. Perhaps someday I’ll have as many posts about this as alignment or how to make traits, ideals, bonds, and flaws work better (which I guess I can retire now that D&D 2024 and Tales of the Valiant both jettisoned the concepts). 

Spellcaster Emphasis

This time, I was going for a very simple, very quickly summarized way to express how each class approaches spellcasting. I’m also only looking at spellcasters that derive their power from an outside source, which they had to take some action to access.

• Clerics believe one or more Truths must be recognized.
• Druids feel the flow of nature.
• Paladins know that something must be done.
• Rangers chase something in their soul.
• Warlocks need the ability to accomplish their goals.

The most challenging summary was probably the Ranger because it’s easy to assume “like druids, but less.” What led me to this idea that a Ranger has something in their soul that makes them restless to chase the feeling of being “in” the right spot with nature is that Rangers move. They roam. They hunt. All of that suggests chasing after a feeling, and the supernatural manifestation of chasing that feeling is their various powers.

To develop this concept, I also considered the philosophy of spellcasting and the idea that different editions have had means of shifting what spellcasting statistic classes use. I wanted to consider what having more than one spellcasting stat would mean and what additional one makes the most sense for each class.

I also added this disclaimer online–I’m not saying this is what you should do. I’m playing around with a thought process to see what it would mean if this were true. I’m sure some issues could arise from this, and I know this won’t “feel” right for some players.

Alternate Spellcasting Statistics by Class

• Artificer (Int or Wis)
• Bard (Cha or Wis)
• Cleric (Int or Wis)
• Druid (Cha or Wis)
• Paladin (Cha or Wis)
• Ranger (Int or Wis)
• Sorcerer (Cha or Wis)
• Warlock (Int or Cha)
• Wizard (Int or Wis)

It’s my blog, and I can’t help myself, so let’s look at each of the classes, and I’ll explain my logic for the additional spellcasting stat.

Artificer

The standard spellcasting stat for Artificers is Intelligence, which makes sense because they are effectively magical engineers. My logic for adding Wisdom of a secondary casting stat is that I can see Artificers that create things by rote. In other words, they don’t draw up their own plans, and they don’t vary the plans they use. They just adhere to what they have internalized and practiced over time.

Bard

I was very tempted to use Intelligence as the Bard’s secondary statistic. I could probably still be persuaded to do so. Still, I felt like there is a natural dichotomy between relating a story or an artistic piece with enough energy and emotion for people to internalize it or knowing the most important aspects of a story to emphasize and convey meaning to a specific audience. With all of that said, if you wanted to convince me that Bards would be the one class that could pick any stat from Int/Cha/Wis, thematically, I would have a hard time arguing against it.

Cleric

I added Intelligence as an alternate for Clerics based on the concept of religious scholars. I can picture Clerics versing themselves in scholarly works to reinforce the history of the religion and details of all of the church’s practices. You could argue for the Charismatic evangelist, but Paladins have the primary Charisma Divine caster role in the 5e SRD classes.

Druid

I can see Druids having Charisma as their secondary spellcasting statistic option because I can picture Druids that don’t contemplate their place in nature so much as they are imposing the will of “nature” on the world, assuming they are already right with the balance of nature. In some ways, it also dovetails with the roots of Bards and Druids and how, conceptually, they are essentially the same thing in some stories.

Paladin

It makes sense that Paladins can manifest their powers by Charisma, because they have a deeply held feeling that something must be done to effect a specific change in the world. They are a force of personality. Even with that understanding of the Paladin, though, I can picture the Paladin that still deeply feels what needs to be done. They are very proactive but may be introspective enough to want to contextualize their actions and choose between potential outcomes quickly.

Ranger

Wisdom represents the Ranger’s awareness of and perhaps even subconscious preparation for everything happening around them, especially in the environments they are most comfortable traversing. I don’t picture Charisma doing much to allow for an understanding and assessment of a situation. Still, I can see a more formalized approach to information gathering and threat assessment being something some Rangers may lean toward.

Sorcerer

I think the primary story of the Sorcerer is that they don’t learn their magic through scholarly study. They have a natural connection to the power they wield. While the default may be that Sorcerers can use the power they are connected to by force of personality, willing the world to change in accordance with their powers, I can also see Sorcerers having a deeper understanding and feeling for the depths of their power. They would still be using intrinsic power, but potentially with more intentionality.

Warlock

I picture Warlocks using Charisma to impose the power they have bargained for on the rules of reality. That’s looking at how Warlocks use their powers from the point of view of already having the power and then using it. I can also see Intelligence being a spellcasting statistic because the Warlock learns the forms and ways to communicate with otherworldly powers and measures the limits of different sources of power. Additionally, I just think the story of the Warlock leans away from assuming Wisdom, carefully considering repercussions, and avoiding unseen threats, so Wisdom isn’t the best fit for them, even with an expanded range of spellcasting statistics.

Gathering Information

I would love to get feedback on this post. I would love to know if those quick summaries of spellcaster approaches are helpful to people and if you have your own summaries that you think would work.When my “narrative” brain is going, it often pushes out my “rules” brain. I would also love to see if there is any issue with how the 5e SRD works compared to swapping out some of the spellcasting statistics, as I have conjectured above. 

But most of all, I just like talking to other people about games.
