2024.06.09 19:21 GuiltyWorldliness245 Beat Dark Souls for the first time on a crappy laptop (K&M)

I finally did it! Something which I thought could never happen. I beat dark souls ptde on a crappy laptop with keyboard and mouse. Since I watched a playthough of dark souls 3 on YouTube I always wanted to play the souls games and after knowing that the original ds1 works on my laptop I got it asap. But the worse part was ds isn't optimised for k&m gameplay and I needed a controller. But since I couldn't afford one I used the DSFix and DSMFix mods to make the port better. It definitely wasn't easy but I didn't gave up.
Tries it took me to the beat the bosses. (In order of defeating) Asylum Demon: 2. Taurus Demon: 18-20 (I was still getting used to the controls). Bell Gargoyles: 1 (I still don't know how I managed to pull that off). Capra Demon: 25+ (I passionately hate the arena) Gaping Dragon: 1. Quelaag: 1. Ceaseless Discharge: 3 (cheesed it) Iron Golem: 3 Ornstein & Smough: 4 (fireball spammed Ornstein). Stray Demon: 3. Crossbred Priscilla: 2 Moonlight Butterfly: 1. Great Grey Wolf Sif: 5 Four Kings: 1 (iron flesh is too good) Pinwheel: 1. Gravelord Nito: 1 (iron flesh is too good) Dark Son Gwyndolin: 2. Seath The Scaleless: 2 (got softlocked at first try so technically it's 1 too). Demon Firesage: 3 Centipede Demon: 1 (Solaris helps). Bed of Chaos: 5. Sanctuary Guardian: 1 Knight Artorias: 10 (best boss fight ever). Manus: 12 (fuck that dark magic). Kalameet: 15 (almost cried) Gwyn: 5.
Only regret was insted of parrying Gwyn, I ironfleshed and spammed his ass with Quelaag's Furysword.
In total the game was insanely good. I may not have played much games but this set the bar too high. I got the dark lord ending which is just perfect. Definitely looking forward to play the other souls games after getting a good pc or console in the future.
Also can you guys share how you felt after beating your first souls game?

2024.06.09 18:52 Current_Job_1283 English to become the official European language

The European Commission has just announced an agreement whereby English will be the official language of the European Union rather than German, which was the other possibility.
As part of the negotiations, the British Government conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a 5- year phase-in plan that would become known as "Euro-English".
In the first year, "s" will replace the soft "c". Sertainly, this will make the sivil servants jump with joy. The hard "c" will be dropped in favour of "k". This should klear up konfusion, and keyboards kan have one less letter.
There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year when the troublesome "ph" will be replaced with "f". This will make words like fotograf 20% shorter.
In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible.
Governments will enkourage the removal of double letters which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling.
Also, al wil agre that the horibl mes of the silent "e" in the languag is disgrasful and it should go away.
By the 4th yer peopl wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing "th" with "z" and "w" with "v".
During ze fifz yer, ze unesesary "o" kan be dropd from vords kontaining "ou" and after ziz fifz yer, ve vil hav a reil sensi bl riten styl.
Zer vil be no mor trubl or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi TU understand ech oza. Ze drem of a united urop vil finali kum tru.
Und efter ze fifz yer, ve vil al be speking German like zey vunted in ze forst plas.

2024.06.09 18:50 BestieBoo300 (Dumpster Fire Alert!) Musical Mischief Event Proposed Changes

As most of you know, Musical Mischief is considered the hardest and the most disliked AdAges event by most. There are many issues with this music history themed event that have been addressed over the past two years, but not much has changed. This rant is about the poor status of this current event and what can be done to make it fairer and more enjoyable for most players.
Good Things:
Before we get into all of my proposed changes for our current event I want to begin this post by saying something. Musical Mischief isn’t the worst event out there. There is actually quite a bit I like about it. This post is just mainly focused on its many problems.
Its music, for one thing, is, by far the best out of any soundtrack in any video game that I’ve heard, and considering that I’ve played every single Hyper Hippo Productions event and each event comes with a soundtrack, that’s saying something for sure. And the art isn’t bad either. I especially like the researcher art and appreciate the effort put into it. I just wish the gameplay had nearly as much work put into it.
Suggested Changes to Costs:
There are a lot of redundant costs of many of the relics. Here are my suggestions to fix long walls, and they really go well with my proposed missions:
Flutes stay the same
Increase Bassoons cost from 10,000 Batons to 100 M Batons
Increase Violins cost from 1 T Batons to 1 AA Batons and unlock requirement from 25,000 Bassoons to 50,000 Bassoons
Harps stay the same
Trumpets stay the same
Lower Pianos cost from 1 RR Batons to 10 QQ Batons
Music Stands Cost Stays the same
Drum Kits stay the same
Increase Saxophones cost from 1 B Music Stands to 10 B Music Stands and unlock requirement from 50,000 Drum Kits to 200,000 Drum Kits
Lower Keyboards unlock requirement from 5 M Trumpets to 2.5 M Trumpets
Lower Electric Guitars cost from 10 II Music Stands to 100 HH Music Stands and increase unlock requirement from 25 M Keyboards to 35 M Keyboards
Lower Microphones cost from 10 OO Music Stands to 10 NN Music Stands and unlock requirement from 400 M Electric Guitars to 200 M Electric Guitars
Increase Sheet Music cost from 1 T Music Stands to 10 AA Music Stands
Erhu stay the same
Lower Kotos cost from 10 T Sheet Music to 1 T Sheet Music
Lower Pekings cost from 10 EE Sheet Music to 100 DD Sheet Music, 1 M Kotos to 100,000 Kotos, and unlock requirement from 22 M Kotos to 10 M Kotos
Lower Sitars cost from 10 LL Sheet Music to 10 KK Sheet Music, 100 M Pekings to 1 M Pekings, and unlock requirement from 500 M Pekings to 300 M Pekings
Decrease Vinyl Records cost from 100 FF Sheet Music to 10 FF Sheet Music
Lower Gramophones cost from 10,000 Vinyl Records to 100 Vinyl Records
Lower Jukeboxes cost from 10 M Gramophones to 1 M Gramophones, 10 AA Vinyl Records to 1 AA Vinyl Records, and unlock requirement from 600 M Gramophones to 120 M Gramophones
Lower Boomboxes cost from 100 M Jukeboxes to 10 M Jukeboxes and unlock requirement from 1 B Jukeboxes to 600 M Jukeboxes
These changes might really help balance the gameplay and make it more enjoyable for players. I cannot speak for anyone else here, but these seem more right to me

Repeat this cycle and multiply all production missions by 10 and people missions by 3 each ten missions, and finish at two hundred total missions.
These mission changes may not be great, but they’ll probably be better than they are currently, and there are no big redundant missions like the current balance. Some changes are a bit debatable, especially considering that Rank 24 requires way more people than Rank 23, but it should be more completable than the current balance. I want your opinions on these missions.
Also, Bill PutMneme should be initially x11 instead of x10 just to keep the increase by 2 per age. This is more of an OCD than a helpful thing, but please, Hyper Hippo, just do it.
HH, if you see this, please DO something about this event. I’m pretty sure half of experienced players don’t play this event because its balance is terrible, and you’ve been told that multiple times. I would like a reasonable event, and even if you don’t change the missions, at least change the costs and scripted capsules. This event needs scripted capsules and we all know it. I want feedback on these changes, but I really hope I gave you a good balance for this current event. I would like to see change for this event, and I really hope you viewers agree that this event isn’t great, and it would be an honour if this balance got implemented.
Thanks,
Bestie Boo

2024.06.09 18:49 Greybush_The_Rotund My Air 2 Pro/Beam Impressions

I bought the original NReal Air in early 2023 and thought it was really cool, but had several issues that made me not want to use it much.
They weren’t very comfortable for my head geometry, and it was difficult to consistently keep them situated in the sweet spot for screen clarity, even with the prescription inserts. Because of those issues, I didn’t jump on the Air 2 when it first came out. I was worried they’d just be more of the same. All the complaints on the Internet about blurry edges and poor fit didn’t help either.
I finally rolled the dice on the Air 2 Pro a week ago, after coming across some posts and reviews that said they were more comfortable and fit better than the previous generation Air. Turns out, that’s the case for me!
I’m one of the lucky people who are in the right IPD range for the Air 2 Pro screens, and they also fit my head much more comfortably than the original Air. The new nose pads are also great, they don’t hurt my nose after a while like the original Air nose pads did, and I don’t see any blurriness along the edges or corners of the screens.
I’m also able to see all four edges and corners clearly. The electrochromatic dimming on the Air 2 Pro sounds like a gimmick, but I actually love this feature. I can more easily see my keyboard and surroundings indoors with 0% dimming, 35% feels like my old Air, and the 100% level is plenty good enough for watching movies.
I can’t really speak to the audio features. I’m deaf and wear a hearing aid, so I’m not the best person to quantify how well the Air 2 speakers and mic work.
The new hard case is great, but I miss the divider and the zipper on the old Air case.
XReal might want to consider doing more than one size of frame for future releases, or maybe add some way for the user to adjust the IPD. I suspect that might help resolve the blurriness some people have reported, and different frame sizes would help with the other comfort issues.
I really like the Air 2 Pros, so two thumbs up from me. I’m much happier with them than I was with the original Air, and use them a lot more.
The Beam…I’m a bit more ambivalent about it, but I also kind of can’t live without it at the same time.
I’ve read a lot of negative feedback about it over the past year that turned me off, so I didn’t really have any interest in the Beam until I got it in a bundle with the Air 2 Pro.
I remember the launch messaging when it first came out wasn’t very clear about what the Beam brings to the table, and I suspect that this unclear messaging also resulted in a lot of misunderstandings about what it was meant to do, and then people started trying to use it for things it wasn’t really made to do, which isn’t generally gonna make for a great user experience.
So, now that I’ve used it for a week…I can say that I understand most of the negative feedback, but I still like the Beam for what it is, a spatial puck that gives the glasses some degree of 3DOF functionality.
It does that more smoothly and better than the Nebula app does on my phones or PCs. I don’t know if I’d say it’s worth the extra $120 just for that alone, but it does the job it was designed to do fine.
I feel like it probably should’ve been included with the glasses, it should be in a matching colorway and finish, and most importantly, it should still be able to charge while a device is plugged in for wired video without resorting to third party accessories.
I don’t like that it doesn’t seem to work well with DRM-protected streaming content over wireless, and that probably should’ve been sorted before it was released.
When running apps directly on it, I start feeling like it’s being pushed too hard into territory it wasn’t meant to handle. Netflix and Prime Video seem to have worse quality than on my other devices, browsing the web isn’t as pleasant an experience as it is on my other devices, and the lack of support for Google services kind of hurts it a bit. Plus, all of that effort the Beam has to put into that makes it heat up rapidly.
It doesn’t get anywhere nearly as hot for me when in normal use as a spatial puck. It warms up a bit when charging, and feels a bit warm to the touch after prolonged use, but it doesn’t get alarmingly hot.
It’s cool that the Beam can make an earnest effort at running some apps itself, but I have much better tools for that job, so that capability is ultimately not much of a selling point for me. It should stick to what it does best: spatial stuff.
I was fully prepared to dislike the Beam, but the truth is, every time I plug my Air 2 Pro directly into a device without the Beam, I immediately find myself missing the things the Beam brings to the table.
It’s like I can’t live without the smooth follow mode and the ability to fiddle with screen size and distance.
If it were able to still charge while my phone was plugged in, and it didn’t have issues with wireless streaming of DRM content, it’d get two thumbs up. For now, it gets a wistful “I wish I could give this two thumbs up because it’s so close”.

2024.06.09 18:43 Echoingz Normalized() breaks the joystick's incremental movement for some reason?

Hi, I'm a beginner to godot and coding in general. I'm trying to modify Godot's movement template to use "get_axis" to enable smooth joystick control for my game, since the default input would interpret any joystick input as absolute 0 and 1 (no floats, so no half-pushing the joystick for slow movement). The code I'm using now is below:
func movement_logic():
`var input_dir = Vector3(Input.get_axis("left", "right"), 0, Input.get_axis("up", "down"))` `var direction = (transform.basis * Vector3(input_dir.x, 0, input_dir.z)).normalized()` `if direction:` `print(float(direction.x))` `print(float(direction.z))` `velocity.x = direction.x * speed` `velocity.z = direction.z * speed` `else:` `velocity.x = move_toward(velocity.x, 0, 2)` `velocity.z = move_toward(velocity.z, 0, 2)` 
In line 3 (var direction line), I added normalized() at the end to make sure diagonal movement on the keyboard wouldn't be faster than it's supposed to be. However, after I add it, I suddenly can't do slow-walk with the joystick.
If I remove the normalized() part, I would be able to do it again, but keyboard movement would obviously be too fast again (I checked with the print functions in the middle). Is there a workaround for this? Thanks!

2024.06.09 18:36 hackr_io_team Interactive Photo Gallery Project

I wanted to share a project for intermediate HTML designers. I'll include the code and steps for each part. Please let me know if you have any questions!

Step 1: Setting Up The Project

Start by preparing your environment to develop an interactive photo gallery with HTML.
If you want to dive straight in, I'd recommend following along with me using our online coding environments.
We’ll use some JavaScript for this project, so I’d recommend using an online JavaScript compiler to build with. I will also outline the steps for you to create the necessary files and organize your workspace on your own computer.
Just follow these, and you'll have a solid foundation for your project.
i. Choose an IDE or Editor
Before you start, choose an IDE or editor tailored for web development. I favor Visual Studio Code (VSCode).
It's for HTML and CSS and a solid choice if you’d prefer to build on your own machine.
ii. Install Necessary Plugins
If you choose VSCode, consider installing VSCode extensions like "Live Server" to preview your HTML pages in real time and "Prettier" for code formatting.
These tools will make your development process smoother and more efficient.
iii. Create a New HTML Project
Once your editor is set up, it's time to create a new project:
iv. Set Up a Basic HTML Structure
Open your index.html file and set up a basic HTML structure. Here’s a simple template to get you started:
     Interactive Photo Gallery     
Header content like a title or a navigation bar
Gallery content will go here
Footer content, perhaps some contact info or social links
Here's the compiler where you can try it.
This is the basic structure every HTML project that uses JavaScript starts with.
We've got our DOCTYPE, HTML tag, head section (with meta tags, title, and links to our CSS and JavaScript files), and the body where our content will go.
This basic structure also introduces the JavaScript file linked with the defer attribute, ensuring it loads after the HTML content.
v. Prepare for CSS and JavaScript Development
Make sure your styles.css is linked correctly, and your script.js is set to load at the right time in your HTML file to start adding styles and functionality in the next steps.
vi. Verify Project Setup
To ensure everything is set up correctly, try opening your index.html with the Live Server plugin or directly in your browser.
You should see a blank page with the basic document structure ready to be filled with content.
And there you have it! You’ve successfully set up your environment to create an interactive photo gallery with HTML.
Next, you'll create the HTML structure for your interactive photo gallery.

Step 2: Creating the HTML Structure

With your development environment ready, it’s time to construct the HTML skeleton of your interactive photo gallery.
i. Create the Header Section
The header will introduce your gallery. You might want to include a catchy title or a brief description:

My Photo Gallery

Explore my collection of high-quality images ranging from landscapes to portraits.
This sets the tone and context for the visitors of your gallery.
ii. Set Up the Gallery Section
This main part will hold all your images in a grid or other layout:
 
Replace "path-to-image-1.jpg" with the actual path to each image. Ensure that each image has an appropriate alt text for accessibility.
iii. Include a Filter Section (Optional)
If your gallery is large, consider adding filters to help viewers sort images by categories:
 
These buttons are set up to trigger JavaScript functions that will filter the gallery based on the category.
iv. Add a Modal for Image Viewing (Optional)
To enhance the interactivity, include a modal that opens when an image is clicked, allowing for a closer view:
 
This section will be controlled via JavaScript to display images dynamically when clicked.
Here’s a summary of what we've accomplished in this step:
Let’s move on to Step 3 to style your interactive photo gallery.

Step 3: Styling with CSS

Now your HTML structure is set up, it’s time to add styles to bring your interactive photo gallery to life.
We'll focus on creating a responsive layout and designing aesthetic details like animations and hover effects.
i. Include a Google Font
First, choose a font from Google Fonts that complements the aesthetic of your gallery.
For example, we might use 'Roboto' for its clean and modern appearance. Add this to your HTML file within the section:
 
This link imports the 'Roboto' font, with normal and bold weights.
ii. Style the Header
Begin by styling the header to make it stand out as the introduction to your gallery:
header { background-color: #f8f9fa; padding: 20px; text-align: center; border-bottom: 1px solid #ccc; font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif; } header h1 { font-size: 24px; color: #333; } header p { font-size: 16px; color: #666; } 
This styling gives your header a clean, professional look.
iii. Style the Gallery Layout
Use CSS Grid or Flexbox to arrange your images in a tidy, responsive grid:
#gallery { display: grid; grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fill, minmax(200px, 1fr)); gap: 10px; padding: 20px; font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif; } .photo { position: relative; } .photo img { width: 100%; height: auto; display: block; } .photo .caption { position: absolute; bottom: 0; background: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.5); color: #fff; width: 100%; text-align: center; padding: 5px 0; } 
This grid layout ensures that the gallery is responsive and the images adjust to the screen size.
iv. Style the Filter Buttons
Make the filter buttons interactive and visually pleasing:
nav button { background-color: #fff; border: 1px solid #ddd; padding: 10px 20px; margin: 10px; cursor: pointer; transition: background-color 0.3s; font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif; } nav button:hover { background-color: #eee; } 
The hover effect adds a dynamic element, encouraging users to interact with the filters.
v. Style the Modal for Image Viewing
Create styles for the modal that displays the full image:
.modal { display: none; position: fixed; z-index: 1000; left: 0; top: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; overflow: auto; background-color: rgb(0,0,0,0.9); font-family: 'Roboto', sans-serif; } .modal-content { margin: auto; display: block; width: 80%; max-width: 700px; } .close { position: absolute; top: 15px; right: 35px; color: #f1f1f1; font-size: 40px; font-weight: bold; cursor: pointer; } .close:hover, .close:focus { color: #bbb; text-decoration: none; cursor: pointer; } #caption { color: #ccc; font-size: 16px; padding: 15px 20px; text-align: center; width: 100%; } 
This styling will create a dark overlay when the modal is active, focusing attention on the clicked image.
vi. Ensure Responsiveness
Add media queries to ensure your gallery looks good on both desktops and mobile devices:
u/media (max-width: 600px) { #gallery { grid-template-columns: repeat(auto-fill, minmax(150px, 1fr)); } } 
This media query adjusts the size of the gallery cells on smaller screens below 600px.
Here’s a summary of what we've accomplished in this step:
With the CSS styling in place, your photo gallery not only looks more appealing but is also ready for the dynamic interactivity that JavaScript will provide in the next step.

Step 4: Adding Interactivity with JavaScript

With the HTML structure and CSS styling in place, it's time to breathe life into your photo gallery with JavaScript.
This step will involve writing scripts to handle image filtering, modal interactions, and other dynamic behaviors.
i. Implementing Image Filtering
Start by writing a JavaScript function to filter gallery items based on categories:
function filterGallery(category) { const photos = document.querySelectorAll('.photo'); photos.forEach(photo => { const isVisible = category === 'all' photo.classList.contains(category); photo.style.display = isVisible ? '' : 'none'; }); } 
This function takes a category and changes the display property of photos that do not belong to that category, effectively hiding them.
ii. Setting Up the Modal View
Write the JavaScript necessary to open a modal when an image is clicked, and populate it with the correct image and caption:
document.querySelectorAll('.photo img').forEach(img => { img.addEventListener('click', function() { const modal = document.getElementById('myModal'); const modalImg = document.getElementById('img01'); const captionText = document.getElementById('caption'); modal.style.display = 'block'; modalImg.src = this.src; captionText.innerHTML = this.nextElementSibling.innerHTML; }); }); // Get the element that closes the modal const closeButton = document.querySelector('.close'); closeButton.onclick = function() { const modal = document.getElementById('myModal'); modal.style.display = 'none'; } 
This script sets up event listeners for all images in your gallery.
When an image is clicked, it displays the modal and updates the modal's content with the image and caption of the clicked item.
iii. Enhancing Usability with Keyboard Navigation
Add keyboard functionality to improve accessibility and user experience, allowing users to close the modal with the 'Escape' key:
document.addEventListener('keydown', function(event) { if (event.key === 'Escape') { const modal = document.getElementById('myModal'); if (modal.style.display === 'block') { modal.style.display = 'none'; } } }); 
This listener checks for the 'Escape' key and closes the modal if it is open.
Here’s a summary of what we've accomplished in this step:
With JavaScript added, your photo gallery is now fully interactive, allowing users to filter images, click to view images in detail, and interact smoothly with the gallery interface.

Step 5: Review and Debug

With the HTML structure, CSS styling, and JavaScript interactivity in place, it's time to thoroughly review your interactive photo gallery and prepare it for public viewing.
i. Testing Across Different Browsers and Devices
Start by testing your photo gallery across various browsers (like Chrome, Firefox, Safari, and Edge) and devices (desktops, tablets, and smartphones):
ii. Debugging Common Issues
Address common issues that might arise during testing:
iii. Code Validation
Use HTML and CSS validators to ensure your code meets web standards and is free from syntax errors. The W3C Validator is a reliable tool for this purpose.
iv. Test Responsiveness
Adjust your browser window size to simulate different screen sizes or use your browser’s developer tools to test various device resolutions.
Make sure your layout adjusts and looks good on mobile, tablet, and desktop views. Adjust your CSS using media queries if necessary to improve responsiveness.
v. Improve Accessibility
Ensure your page is accessible to all users, including those with disabilities:
vi. Optimize Loading Times
Optimize your page for faster loading times:
vii. Gather Feedback
Sometimes, it helps to get a fresh set of eyes on your project:
With your page polished and debugged, it's ready for the world to see.
The next step would be to consider how and where to publish it, so let’s take a look at that!

Step 6: Publishing Your Page

Now that your interactive photo gallery is fully developed, tested, and ready, it's time to publish it and look into ways you can continue to expand your skills.
This final step will guide you through the process of publishing your page online.
i. Choose a Hosting Service
To make your photo gallery page accessible on the internet, you need to host it on a web server.
Here are a few popular, user-friendly options that offer free plans:
ii. Prepare Your Files for Deployment
Before uploading your files, ensure everything is named correctly and organized:
iii. Upload Your Files
Depending on your chosen hosting service, the process will vary:
iv. Set Up a Custom Domain (Optional)
If you have a custom domain, you can link it to your hosting provider to give your gallery a more professional look:
v. Test Your Live Site
Once your photo gallery is online, visit the URL provided by your hosting platform. Check everything once more to ensure:
vi. Share Your Photo Gallery
Now that your photo gallery is live, share the URL on your professional networks, email signatures, and social media profiles.
Congratulations! You've successfully created and published your HTML interactive photo gallery.
This not only enhances your online presence but also demonstrates your ability to apply HTML, CSS, and JavaScript skills in a practical project.

2024.06.09 18:29 am3yankees3 VIM with Alt Keyboard Layouts

How do you guys use Vim with an alt keyboard layout? Do you learn the new spots of all the letters, or is there a way to switch the vim bindings so you can maintain the muscle memory?
I also plan on switching between laptop qwerty keyboard and my alt layout pretty regularly, which makes me lean towards the second option (so I don’t have to maintain two shortcut mappings at once)

2024.06.09 18:22 TannerDawgBet I Made a Script That Can Lock Your iPhone Screen Time Without You Knowing the Code

Hello everyone,
I've been working hard to lower my screen time on both my computer and phone. I found the perfect solution for my computer with Cold Turkey, but I struggled with managing screen time on my iPhone. The issue was that I couldn't lock the screen time settings without either knowing the code and unlocking it whenever I wanted, or having a friend or family member enter a code for me.
To solve this, I made a Python script that generates a random 4-digit code and stores it in a .txt file. I'm fairly new to coding, so I apologize if it's not perfect, but I hope it helps someone else as much as it helped me.
I ran the script on my Mac and to connect to my phone I used Keypad which is a Bluetooth keyboard app, but I assume there's a similar solution for Windows, and probably a workaround for Android phones as well.
Here is the repo: https://github.com/NikeManTan/Screentime-Code.
Feel free to fork it and make modifications for other devices. I also apologize if this already exists.

2024.06.09 18:10 LanguishingLove Hey

Good morning ❤️ I love you. Woke up feeling strange, wasn't really sure why. I hadn't really thought of my old job until today. It all just kinda makes me hate the world and want to renounce everyone and everything and run away with you forever. I don't think I'd mind if you were the last person I'd ever see for the rest of my life.
I've typed to you so much, my keyboard has slightly burnt into my screen lmao.
Idrc, it's hardly noticeable. Just funny to me.
I hope you had a nice night and slept well. 💕

Just now grabbed Sugar & Spite for free
Used some leftover Target Circle Rewards and a couple gift cards — and voila! — we have a new Game Night and it cost me nothing. The question remains: my player group is 3 and the other guys want to play these 2 newest characters. So now I’m calculating who’d be an ideal opposing character to take on this Terrible Tiger and this Candy Car Impresario.
Thoughts?
Considering a mid-tier character like Horned King or something …

2024.06.09 17:50 Artistic_Concert_682 Partner of NDX - Partner's Stimming is Becoming a Problem

Long time listener, first time caller. Using a throwaway account.
My long-time (20 year) non dx partner began stimming later in life (around 38-40), and it's been really challenging to handle as his partner. For him, he mostly taps on surfaces or slams his keyboard. However, when he's having what I'll call "an episode," in which he's very stressed out about something and the stimming gets out of control, he hits himself on the face, sometimes leaving small cuts or bruises. Lately, it seems that the episodes are being brought on by increasingly mundane situations, such as having to do something for work or needing to do a non-urgent task around the house.
When it gets to be an episode, I've set really hard boundaries around self harm by letting him know that he needs to work with his therapist to find coping mechanisms and use alternatives that don't lead to him hitting himself. I know this isn't always possible, but I try to reinforce this as a red line for me, mostly because I'm concerned that this will escalate further and I'm concerned about him getting hurt.
These symptoms have been made worse by my partner working the night shift (remote job), which leaves him in his office, mostly bored, for 12 hour shifts. I know this is a period of immense frustration for him, but he had to take a job after being unemployed for over a year after he left a previous role for this same issue. Needless to say there are other issues with his mental health that are not related to stimming, but that would probably deserve another post.
I've become really consumed by the fear that his stimming, intense anxiety, and general inability to handle any stressful situations will continue to escalate and I won't know how to support him or get him care. There have been a few situations in which he's shown these symptoms in a public place and I had a great fear that people would be concerned about his behavior (for example, when we were in a large international airport and he was having compulsions to make odd faces where he appeared aggressive). To be clear, I'm only concerned about perception because I know things like this can affect his self esteem, his ability to interact with strangers, and (when displaying this behavior at work) his career prospects. He's such a smart and kind person, and I just want people to see the best in him, if that makes sense.
I love my partner endlessly, but I'm really struggling to understand how best to support him. He's been seeing a counselor (not a psychologist or psychotherapist), but I don't see a big improvement in coping skills after one year of treatment. My first inclination is to push him to go talk to a medical professional and to get a diagnosis, but I know through reading these posts that a diagnosis doesn't do much. Any advice on how to support my partner through this would be really appreciated. TIA for any tips.

After months of designing, buying parts, and trial & error finally finished it and got it to work!
3D printed body with old Assyrian and Persian thenes. Using an orange pi 5 plus and 14x18650 batteries. Stereo speakers under the keyboard get pretty loud. Weights about 2.200kg. It doesn't fully fit when the screen is closed due to some miss calculation on the hinges, need to fix that and also and then I will make all the designs open source. Other problem is with the power supply, used a power bank that supports fast charging but it will cut off the power for a second when the charger is connected. Needs to be replaced with charger and supply circuits but I'm so burnt out, I'll do it in a few months and besides the system runs for 10-12h on full charge and then I charge it overnight. Let me know what you think! :)

2024.06.09 17:29 GeorgePKdoge 'There is No Spoon' - Default Settings - Nintendo Switch - Finally Done!

'There is No Spoon' - Default Settings - Nintendo Switch - Finally Done!
I mostly play Factorio on PC, but bought the switch version to make my commute a bit more interesting! Needless to say, playing without mouse and keyboard is a bit of trial - both staying speedy and combat, but Factorio on the go is a real blast!
While it has remained fun, I became hyper-focused on beating the spoon time on default settings; getting it on an unlimited resources maps with no pollution diffusion simply wouldn't satisfy my brain! It took a while, but finally breeched 8 hours on the Switch version this week.
I'm sure it has been done much faster, and to be fair I think I could have shaved at least 30-60 mins off (played after a few too many drinks which definitely cost me - always does!), but I haven't seen anyone post; so I thought I would post it for anyone else that has a cursed brain that simply won't let go of a challenge - it is definitely possible!
Credit must go to Michael Hendrix's 'There Is No Spoon' Guide' here - as per the guidance managed to get through without using a single turret. Additionally, while default settings, the map seed was extremely friendly, found one on on Phredward’s guide to Default Settings Speedrun (AntiElitz design) - here
Currently on the hyperfocus comedown, but well worth it! If you like Factorio and have access to a Switch - would definitely pick up!

2024.06.09 17:24 AuthorOnCrack Coop is an absolute disaster and should be fixed or expanded for sure

I was eagerly awaiting for a great coop mode after the disaster that genshin was but it turned out to be even worse than genshin (with slightly more benefits here and there) but there is absolutely nothing to do other than to try fighting red bosses.
  1. Character per joining person. - I mean, what:? What am I supposed to even do as 1 character? I get hit once by a level 100 tumor and die and then have to respawn 20 miles away to the teleport. If there are 2 people on one world i believe at least giving both 2 characters would be fair. Sure if we are 4, i dont even have that many friends that play the game, then give us all 1 and have fun that way, but my friend requested me, higher level than him to help with the bosses and i simply couldnt because i got one tapped by the enemy even if I dodged all 3 of their attacks i ran out of stamina and couldnt really help him with one character that doesnt have verina, mortefi boost on him...skill issue me if you will but one character is too little.
  2. Lack of things to do in coop. - Just like in genshin, cant do quests, cant do puzzles, cant open chests, cant activate teleporters, cant exist. So why is the coop even there then? At least let me open the chest for him so he gets stuff so i dont have to call him and tell him to teleport to me and that i found a chest. Or maybe make it so that when I picked a chest in his world that I didnt already pick in my world, make it give me stuff and remove that thing from my world. Game is still in early stages for sure so there might be some fun, coop events that stay forever, like hide and seek, puzzles or something else we can do in that world. The only good thing about coop atm is that i can go and collect all materials and he also gets all collectibles at the same time, and that if i run out of my echoes in my world i can go to his to farm his but thats about it, very bad coop. Thats not "fun", thats being efficient and I want to have fun in coop.
  3. For the love of god, I hope they fix the bug that has been in the game since the very beginning. If you use QWERTZ keyboard instead of QWERTY, then the moment you try switching a character to another one, your game bugs out, your interface disappears, you cannot pick up anything at all and are forced to restart the game. This is also annoying especially in coop when i have to restart the game just to join back into his world etc. I have used QWERTZ my whole life and especially since im european, each time i alt tab from the game to write to my friends i switch back to the QWERTZ keyboard because its better for me and then forget to switch it back, making my game crash. This happened to me, and my friends in similar situation at least 60 times by now, forced to restart the game over and over again. I havent encountered any other major bugs in this game other than this.

2024.06.09 17:01 JHustle99 Using just the laptop with external monitor (without external keyboard and mouse) — doable?

So I got an external display on order (after only using my laptop since forever), and I'm wondering if I can get away with just using my laptop and the external display, maybe by placing it underneath, or if I need to also get the external keyboard + mouse combo?
The display is an Apple Studio Display, so I do not know if I can fit the laptop underneath somehow.
I'd want to avoid shelling out more $$$ to Apple, but I'm not sure if I can make it work without the extra peripherals.
Thoughts?
TL;DR Finally bought an external display (Apple Studio Display) but would like to avoid buying an external keyboard and mouse if I can.

2024.06.09 16:44 marvisen Mouse unrecognised upon startup with USB-C monitor setup

Hey all.
Also posted this to , FYI. And yes, I have tried googling.
This year I purchased a new laptop, model being Acer Swift X SFX14-41G, along with a new monitor from Asus: ASUS PA278CGV 27" IPS LED.
Both the laptop and the monitor support USB-C connection (one cable setup) which was the reason I got this in the first place, being able to switch between two laptops, having my keyboard and mouse connected directly to my laptop "hub" at all times.
This works perfectly most times. On my work laptop there's not a single issue. However, everytime I connect my Acer to the monitor with the USB-C, it only "boots up" the keyboard, but not the mouse. This means that I have to unplug and plug in the mouse on the back of the monitor every time.
I asked customer service where I bought the laptop, but they just tell me to send the laptop for a service check, which means I'll be without it, possibly for 3-4 weeks. I suspect this might be a driver issue or similar, and I want to make sure that I have exhausted every simple home-fix around before I ship it away.
Any suggestions? Thanks!

2024.06.09 16:05 ArchontheWings Good Synth/Keyboard for beginner?

I’m looking for a good Synthesizer full sized Keyboard as beginner with a budget. I’m not really a beginner to music but I am a beginner to synthesizers. I have much experience with music software and physical instruments (including a lot of pianos and keyboards) but am not familiar with all the useful tools a synth has. There are a few features that I’m looking for as: pedals, many (decent) instrument presets, pitch control (I noticed these typically look like little knobs or pressy things), and reverb. These are the main tools I think I will be using but would love to learn of new ones that may make my top used tools list.
