Hello!
I have been desperately trying to find some guidance regarding OE to see if this is even an option for me. I am currently in a FT WFH hourly job that I have managed to effectively make a 5-8 hour max weekly routine. I spend most of my week basically doing nothing and my boss has nothing but great things to say about my work. After stumbling into this subreddit I am wondering if this is the best route for me but I’m an hourly worker I don’t know if it’s at all possible to work two hourly jobs (is this even legal?) or if I should aim for a salary job instead? I just hate wasting so much of my time doing nothing when I have the bandwidth to do more and earn more.
I have been experimenting with clocking in, doing nothing but leaving my laptop on, and then clocking out later in the day (basically do nothing but reply to 2 emails) to see if I get any feedback but I haven’t since I technically complete all my work and I’m never late on anything. I have a max of 5 meetings that I attend monthly (3 in the summer since my bosses like ti cancel the summer meetings). For the past month I have managed to read, watch TV, go to the gym (or a walk), bake and cook all while on the clock. The only reason I rather not let this job go is because I have made it such an easy routine for me and I have managed to get all my managers(2) to not only like me but look to me to guide some of the new employees.
Maybe I can get the J2 and do all my work in the 9-5 time but clock in different hours? I am able to clock in on my phone or manually change my hours on my laptop. I am currently in the administrative side of healthcare. If I’m being honestly, I’m a glorified secretary for a hospital specialty with a bachelors in healthcare administration lol.
Clearly I can’t speak to anyone about this but my goal is to dig myself out of some deep debt so I’m hoping to make this work. Any two cents will help me. I am currently bouncing my thoughts off the wall and hoping to see the ‘right path’. Thank you in advance for your time and advice! :)

2024.05.19 05:18 LongjumpingRepeat872 Weird experiences I suspect to be minishifts

Recently, I’ve been having weird breaks in reality that are getting closer and closer in occurrence, they always happen right before I fall asleep or right after I wake up. Either way, always in that twilight zone where I’m awake but not quite conscious. I’ve been able to differentiate these from dreams because it always takes me an upward of 10 minutes to fall asleep.
  1. I woke up in my DR. My room was exactly like I pictured it, and my boyfriend in that DR was lying on top of me. It didn’t feel like a dream at all, because I felt it all so vividly. I was aware that I wasn’t in my CR anymore, but I was too disoriented to ground myself. My body felt slightly sluggish and by the time I properly sat up, it dissipated into this CR.
  2. Woke up during a nap and got sleep paralysis. (Keep in mind I NEVER get sleep paralysis except for when I’ve had these weird projections). I woke up and was fine at first, so I roll over to the side and pick up my phone, a few seconds later, I suddenly was back where I was before I started moving. It was very weird, and made me realize that I wasn’t fully conscious. It was as if my spiritual body moved without my physical body being aware of it. I thought, since my mind was relaxed and open, that I’d focus on shifting. So I let my thoughts trail and wander off and that’s when I started seeing different realities all at once. It was around 10-20 different places I experienced simultaneously. It felt very fuzzy yet so real and vidid. I would phase in and out of feeling these different bodies. I was walking in a beautiful forest, then I was on a bed in a dark room, then I was tied up in a medieval inn. In the inn, there were two jesters, one male and one female, beside my bed. The guy was chatting with his partner about how difficult it was to capture me, and then they noticed that I was awake. He gets all up in my face and starts rambling about how he was gonna make me his husband (😭) I’m put off by this so I decide to concentrate on shifting to my DR but he begins grabbing me which makes me panic and I just put all my focus into breaking the paralysis. I sit up in my CR bed but I’m still determined to shift so I lay back down, facing the side opposite of where the jesters were. I kid you not, I was right back in the inn. This time, components of both realities were meshing together. I felt a hand grab and turn me around and the guy was right in my face. His hair, hat, and grin was all that was visible. My surroundings were still my CR room but with outlines of this other reality. I also saw his partner doing acrobatics through the air. Got fed up and ended up just waking up entirely.
  3. I wake up normally and go to my bathroom. For some reason I wanted to try something new so I laid down on the carpet and began putting my focus into shifting. Not even 10 seconds later, I feel my DR coming to me. It was a feeling I’ve never felt before, I felt the structure and energy in it so clearly. I couldn’t see it, but my body instinctively knew. Unfortunately I got trigger happy and opened my eyes too early, that’s when I saw reality fracture into two. It was like a split screen, with one side being my DR and one being my CR. After a few seconds, these screens collapsed back into my CR.
  4. I was taking a nap when I felt extremely tired. The moment I laid down, it was barely 5 seconds when I felt myself sinking. I open my eyes to see the room swirling and collapsing. Putting my intent on my DR, I channeled that reality’s energy. Then, I could feel my whole surroundings change and somebody’s arm on my chest. Not much happened, I opened my eyes to still see my CR, and fell asleep.
  5. I woke up, and my body felt extremely heavy. I suddenly realized that I could control my reality from previous occurrences. Though everything looked fuzzy, it was my CR room down to the exact detail. If I focused on having a body part, I would feel it. If not, I simply didn’t have one. It sort of felt like building up a reality block by block. During this time, I wasn’t fully aware of who I was, so I forgot to try and shift. The first thing that came to mind was a ghost. I called him forth and had him move my body. He turned me and dragged me off my bed and to the floor. It was so insanely vivid, despite me not fully feeling my body. After breaking the paralysis, I went from being on the floor to back on my bed in a split second.
Thoughts, and how should I move forward to fully shift?

2024.05.19 05:13 Infinite_Thanks1914 AITAH for making my younger sister a google account?

I’m the oldest child with 3 younger siblings. My 11 year old sister uses a lot of my accounts because she doesn’t have her own and I don’t mind. She uses my google/gmail account for lots of things including to video chat with her friends who don’t have iphones on google meet. She got a new phone recently so she had to redownload the app. She asked me for the gmail and password so she could log back in. For whatever reason it wasn’t working so I decided to make her own under her name and phone number.
A few days later my mom had her phone and saw she had her own account, was video calling and texting friends,etc and was furious about it. She confronted my sister and my sister told her I made it for her. I woke up to my mom blowing up my phone and a plethora of texts. She said very unnecessary and hurtful things. She said if my sister ever gets kidnapped it would be my fault. That i’m trying to make her “sneaky” and don’t care about her. Brought up past things i’ve done in my childhood. There was lots of cussing and name calling. The worst thing she said was that i’ll be a terrible mother and shouldn’t have kids because I clearly don’t know how to raise them. That would’ve been hurtful at any point but it stung a lot worse because i’m currently 5 months pregnant with my first child. I literally broke down I was honestly extremely shocked she said all of that simply because I made her a gmail account.
I also still had access to the account and password and could see everything my sister was doing on it. I trust my sister and I knew she wasn’t doing anything bad we’re very close she tells me everything. I told my mom she could have the email and password so she could see everything she’s doing from her own phone and this was in no way a secret. I never told her because I didn’t think it was a big deal. I even offered to permanently delete the google account.
Other family members say i’m the AH for crossing a boundary even though I didn’t know it was in place and her reaction was warranted. They think I should apologize. I understand the concern and I take accountability for not asking her if it was okay beforehand. But, instead of calmly explaining like an adult that she doesn’t want her to have her own accounts to certain things she threw hurtful words and insults at me and I think i’m also owed an apology. She feels she did no wrong at all for how she reacted.

Chapter 241: Until Now
The doors to the Hartzwiese Adventurer’s Guild opened.
Before, the sound of raucous laughter could be heard flooding the street outside, filling the quiet of a spring night with all the debauchery the local drunkards had to offer.
Despite the halls of adventurers not being formal drinking establishments, those within were ready to compete in boisterousness with all the taverns, inns and pubs of the town combined. And also win. Handily.
And yet–
The moment the doors parted and I stepped within, a hush as quiet as any grave fell over its inhabitants.
A woman balancing with her derrière upon the head of another became still, the alcohol in her cup the only movement as it dribbled onto a stunned face below her.
A man slurping from the communal cauldron stared wordlessly, the stew pouring in, and then out of his mouth as the muscles of his throat forgot the means to swallow.
A bartender asleep upon a row of kegs quietly rose, the sudden din of silence waking him where the sound of debauchery and those drinking from the taps beside him had failed.
Here, there, and everywhere, eyes widened as the sudden silence was filled with the sounds of my footsteps as I strolled past, my loyal handmaiden and my brother’s attendant in my wake.
And also–
Mreow.
Mrewowow.
Meww.
Cats.
Tabby cats.
Calico cats.
Ragdoll cats.
Cats with twirly whiskers. Cats with puffy faces. Cats with slightly rounded ears.
Behind me, skipping around my legs while taking turns to sit upon my shoulders and very occasionally my head, were a legion of cats of various shapes, sizes and colours.
But no matter the springiness of their whiskers, the shine of their coat or the liveliness of their tails, one thing to bring them all together was the anarchy they caused.
This was no neat line of ducklings following after their mother.
This was a barbarian horde.
With no sense of organisation other than a shared drive to claim everything as their own, they immediately skipped amidst the stunned adventurers, scavenging for all the copious scraps while still turning their noses away from the alcohol forming sticky traps upon the floor.
Saying nothing, I allowed their demanding cries to fill up the hall as I swept forwards, pausing before a wall plastered from end to end with faded notices and requests long gone unanswered.
One by one, I systemically tore every request featuring a crudely drawn image of a cat, gathering into my arms a pile of parchment large enough to reach my chin.
Then, I made my way to the wooden desk.
A receptionist waited with a smile at the ready.
“Greetings! Welcome to the Hartzwiese branch of the Adventurer’s Guild. I see you’ve removed several notices from the–”
Poomph.
Silenced but unperturbed, this latest clone watched as I dropped the stack of requests onto her desk, before promptly topping off the stack with a copper ring.
“Do what must be done,” I said, my voice defiant. “I am ready.”
The receptionist answered me with a smile more permanent than the wall the notices were torn from.
A moment later–
“[Identify].”
A green hue appeared in her clasped palms as she assessed the ring.
“Juliette. B-rank. Your registered branch is Reitzlake.”
The sound of several cups clattered against the floor.
“Welcome again to Hartzwiese. I see from your commission history that you have an extraordinary amount of completions for recovering lost cats. May I assume the significant number of cats now roaming the branch hall relate to the notices removed from the wall?”
I pursed my quivering lips.
“Maybe.”
“Wonderful. And how many cats is it that you’ve rescued?”
“... Lots.”
“I see. Please give me a moment while I confirm the requirements of our commissions.”
The receptionist swiftly retrieved a stack of parchment from a drawer.
As she flicked through, her eyes simultaneously went to every cat roaming, napping and clawing in the hall. A skill not even monstrous overseers from the abyss with their dozens of eyestalks could match. But that’s only to be expected.
Wherever these receptionists were found, it was from a level deeper than any monster dared roam.
Eventually, she gave a nod.
“Thank you for waiting. There appears to be an excess of cats in relation to the number of commissions we have available. We’ll endeavour to ensure that every cat is rehomed at the earliest opportunity through our partner agencies and charities. But unfortunately, I can only provide official acknowledgement for cats rescued through a formal commission.”
I sucked in a deep breath, hoping that patience was one of the things I accidentally inhaled.
“Fine. And how many commissions does that end up being, then? … 10? 15?”
The receptionist flicked through her bundle of parchments once more.
“94.”
“... Excuse me?”
“I can confirm the successful completion of 94 simultaneous F-ranked commissions. Congratulations. This is a new record, breaking what appears to be one earlier set by yourself. A remarkable achievement befitting a B-rank member of the guild.”
The receptionist’s professional smile never wavered.
I thought that would be the worst of it.
But then–
She slowly brought her hands together … and started applauding.
It was the leak which broke the dam.
At once, she was joined by all who were present to witness this crowning moment of regret.
I turned around in time to see a riot in motion.
“W-Wooooooooooo!!!!”
“In … Incredible …”
“A new record … I … I heard it was broken in Trierport … to think I’d witness it broken again!”
“A B-rank adventurer … ?! Where … Where did she come from … ?!”
There was no polite, respectful applause here.
It was the wild cheering of a crowd at a tournament. The whooping cries of theatregoers calling for an encore. The acclaim of my father as he elbowed others to delight in the poetry I’d written when I was 6 and thus now regularly attempted to burn.
Everywhere I turned, I saw and heard the acclaim mixed with shouts of horror as mugs of alcohol were spilled on purpose and by accident. The layabouts stomped on the floor, doing their best to murder decorum under the strain of unbridled emotion.
Only a few falling teardrops formed any hint of more dignified revelry, the glimmer of admiration running down cheeks as sniffles were hidden amidst the raucous cheering.
And then I bore witness to the most morbid sight.
Like a tidal wave of soiled clothes and snotty faces, they suddenly came as one, hands reaching out for me with dripping mugs still in their grips. Horror struck at my soul. And unlike a farmer who’d scarpered into the night, I had nobody who could heal a wound caused by hooligans accepting me as their own.
“A-Amazing!! Take my drink! Take anyone’s drink!!”
“So many cats rescued … even my allergies can’t believe it!”
“My gods, it’s a legend! An adventurer among adventurers!”
This.
This right here.
This was the lowest point of my life … were I not an unparalleled genius.
“Oho … ohoho …”
At once, the wave halted.
Faces which were lit up in unabashed delight turned to looks of mild confusion against the tinkling music of my laughter.
They needed to cycle through the expressions until they reached horror and shame.
“Ohhohohohohohoho!!”
… For I was no drunkard seeking to join their ranks!
No … I was Juliette Contzen, 3rd Princess to the Kingdom of Tirea!
And that meant every action I took, every word I spoke, and every cat I saved was for a reason beyond the hopes and dreams these hoodlums had of wanton debauchery and rusting swords!
Indeed!
A lesser princess than I may slink away into the night, cowed by the utter shame, humiliation and disgrace of completing so many F-ranked requests that I somehow broke a record I’d only just set!
But I was made of greater things!
Of schemes and subterfuges so deep that it would take too long to explain! The plots I weaved were a silken web more intricate than any cogs which made up Coppelia as she doubled up, desperately trying to stop herself from succumbing to more pain from laughter!
And that meant with every cat request now denied to these louts … they would finally do some work!
“Ohoho … ohohohohoho!! Behold and be afraid! Witness before you the coming of a new dawn, here to lift you from your days of boundless reverie! Unfurl the shutters and gaze upon a radiance so pure it brands your dallying minds! The scorching sun has come to test the snail’s back, and all that your bleary eyes see is a great salt lake to devour you whole! Shrivel as you cling upon the sweat which drips upon your brow, for that is the proof you’re yet alive!”
A sudden silence met my proclamation of their coming ordeal.
And then–
“Wooooooooooooooooooooooo!”
“I don’t understand! But what a speech!”
“If she can do it, so can we!”
I raised a hand to my lips, barely covering my smile.
“Ohhhohohohohohohoho … !”
Here it was!
Operation: Gainful Employment!
An entirely new strategy, as bold as it was uncharted!
By removing what was surely the vast majority of missing cat quests available to the adventurers of this town, they would have no choice, utterly none whatsoever, but to engage in actual work! The type of work adventurers openly advertised themselves as doing!
Monster subjugation! Crime prevention! Fetching artifacts from hidden dungeons and then succumbing to their wounds at the entrance while the Royal Treasury pocketed the treasure!
Yes, this was clearly a highly experimental tactic.
But what was I, if not a bastion of creativity?
At the very least, I utterly refused to accept the status quo! An organisation dedicated exclusively to rescuing lost cats or elbowing into my kingdom’s sovereign affairs was no good to me!
Thus … I could not cower like some towngirl nauseous from the smell of their revelry.
Instead, I would squeeze the Adventurer’s Guild dry until the day I replaced them with an army of trained poodles. Until that joyous day, I could never tear my eyes away when they waited to be robbed.
To do so was more than a dereliction of duty …
Why, I’d be an accomplice to their drunken escapades!
My vow remained unchanged. For my goal, I would brave any indignity. The ring I was hoping the receptionist would forget to return was proof of that.
And thus–
I stood tall as a summer reed, proud in the knowledge that I had no need to feel even an inkling of embarrassment over completing 94 simultaneous F-ranked commissions! …
“Pfffffffffffffffffffffffffffffft.”
“S-Stop at once! You are not to laugh!”
“Pffffttt~”
“C-Coppelia!!”
Clearly not seeing the angel of self-sacrifice who I was, Coppelia held one hand tightly around her mouth. Even so, she failed to stop either the sound of her amusement or the tears falling from her eyes.
My only salvation was that it came at significant cost to her. Even now, she careened between laughter and painful regret.
I decided to offer both her and myself mercy.
Turning to the receptionist, I found a modest pouch already waiting upon the wooden desk. As well as a copper ring waiting beside it.
“Thank you for your service to the Adventurer’s Guild,” said the receptionist, her professional smile undaunted by the commotion. “Your total remuneration is 102 gold crowns, 7 silver crowns and 9 copper crowns. I’ve taken the liberty to compile all your separate payments together.”
I took the pouch and ignored the ring.
The receptionist pushed the ring forwards.
A long moment later, I collected it, uncertain what a receptionist would do if I tossed it into the communal cauldron, but knowing it would somehow still end up on my finger regardless.
With my head held high, I bravely ignored the chorus of voices unknowingly cheering for their own hardship as I swept past. Renewed tears and applause filled the hall. A few cats attempted to follow me. I stopped to shoo them away.
And then I was outside, the door closing behind me.
“... Goodness, that was quite the sight,” said Renise with a bemused smile. “It reminded me somewhat of the inns of Reitzlake’s docks. I wonder if all the halls of adventurers are like that, or merely those which you frequent?”
“Please don’t insinuate I’m responsible for the debauchery which occurs wherever the Adventurer’s Guild is concerned. That’s something I can claim no credit for.”
“You say that … but to me, it seems that you caused quite a stir. That really is a remarkable number of cats you rescued, after all. Even I can tell that 94 simultaneous F-ranked commissions–”
“Miss Renise.”
The maid’s smile wavered against whatever fatigued expression I was making.
A moment later, it fell away entirely as she switched to her role as my brother’s attendant and the leader of whatever scoundrels he’d charged her with herding.
“... Yes, I suppose there’s time for idle conversation later. There’s a guardhouse nearby. We should report on all that’s happened tonight.”
I gave a nod of agreement.
Hopefully, the baroness hadn’t woken from her stupor yet. But if she had, I was certain the single portrait of myself I’d returned to the wall of her gallery to smile down at her gagged and bound state would calm her nerves.
Renise hummed towards the direction of Hartzwiese’s centre, before returning her attention to me.
“If you wish to keep your identity incognito, I can see guards sent to where they’re needed using my own authority, and arrange for the appropriate seizure of the goods and crowns we’ve discovered.”
I beamed at once.
My, so prudent! It’s little wonder she was chosen by Roland!
“A judicious offer. And one I’ll accept gladly, providing the burden isn’t too severe.”
“This is merely an administrative task, and little burden compared to what both yourself and Miss Coppelia regularly perform. In any event, it is only efficient. I expect I’ll be spending a significant amount of time at the baroness’s farmstead. It is quite extensive. If possible, I would like to make use of it for Rose House. I imagine having such a facility close to the Granholtz border would have its uses.”
I nodded, already forgetting the barn’s existence.
“I encourage you to use your discretion as required. My brother has put his trust in you, and so I both expect and know that you shall not disappoint in furthering the kingdom’s prosperity.”
The young woman smiled. One filled with appreciation, but also lacking ambition.
Good.
An excellent combination as far as retainers were concerned.
“Thank you. Although I worry you place too much trust in my abilities. In truth, those like Baroness Arisa would have made for a greater asset to the kingdom. Her resourcefulness must be acknowledged.”
“It is not resourcefulness my kingdom requires. It is loyalty. And hers is a pit so empty it drains others.”
“That’s true. But at least we were able to acquire some useful things from her nonetheless.”
Renise pulled out a tiny vial from the belt around her thigh.
A golden liquid was stored within, glimmering with an unnatural light.
“These were in her chamber,” she said, her eyes lacking emotion as she surveyed the bright liquid. “When we met, she actually attempted to purchase my loyalty with this.”
“A suspect vial. How quaint. And what miracle did she promise?”
“One that would wake my parents from their curse of eternal slumber.”
“... And is it?”
“I don’t believe so, no. This is one of many identical vials I found in her chamber’s desk drawer. All prominently labelled with instructions to only drink as required to stave off the effects of bloating.”
Renise returned the vial to her belt with a slightly embarrassed smile.
“It’s still useful,” she admitted. “But just not for what I require.”
I gave a simple nod as my reply.
Nothing else needed to be said.
She hoped to see her parents wake from their prison of dormancy. An understandable wish. And one I wasn’t required to supplement with the comment that no pair named the Smuggler King and the Smuggler Queen were likely to receive as light a sentence as their daughter.
I could not speak on behalf of Roland. Although I imagined that as a kind man, he would prefer not to pass judgements which were total. But as the Crown Prince, he did not have the luxury of kindness.
It would take much to change their fate.
But perhaps that’s why Renise was here, still proving true, and not accepting stomach ailment potions from a baroness.
A moment of silence followed.
Renise gave a short sigh. And that was that.
She set her eyes on the task ahead–at least until whatever words she’d parted her mouth to say were interrupted by Coppelia’s humming instead.
“Sooooooooooooooo … you just want to wake up two people eternally sleeping, right?”
A small smile met her optimistic voice.
“If a cure were readily available, I’m certain I would have found it by now. I believe one might be possible, but it would take skill and ingredients beyond any apothecary I know of.”
“Well, sure, you could go that way. But what about going straight to the source instead?”
“The source?”
“Sure. They’re asleep, right? So just ask the one in charge of where they are now.”
“I’m … not quite sure I follow?”
Coppelia clapped her hands together and beamed.
“The Spring Court is the realm of dreams. Chances are, they must have shown their faces around a few times by now. If you ask the Spring Queen nicely, she might do you a favour.”
“The Spring Queen? … The fae?”
“Mmh~ luckily, we have someone with connections here!”
Renise was startled out of her reply.
It was nothing compared to me. The one being pointed at.
“Coppelia!” I said, truly aghast at the suggestion. “The fae are not to be taken lightly. Why, I still have nightmares about my conversation with the Winter Queen! I learned a side to royalty that day which I shall never forget … and I’m quite poorer for it!”
“You met … the Winter Queen?” asked Renise, her eyes suddenly wide.
“Unfortunately, yes, but I had zero intention of meeting her, and I’ve just as little intention of meeting any other fae as well. Including the Spring Queen.”
I waved away the coming query to declare what was just as important as my lack of enthusiasm.
“Besides, I’ve not the foggiest idea how I would even hope to use these supposed connections I have.”
“Oh, that’s the easy bit,” said Coppelia, her casual disregard for what counted as ‘easy’ more terrifying than any lout I’d met today. “The hard part is getting them to do what you want. But meeting them? The fae are creatures of stories. If the time is right, they’ll speak to you–one way or another.”
“Then they must book an appointment. One which I can formally reject.”
“I mean, I don’t think you have much choice. You didn’t last time, right?”
“The last time, I was sat beside the Winter Queen’s crown. I see no fae artifacts to hook me away. And that means utterly no scenario in which I could be abducted without my express–”
I suddenly stopped, clasping my hands around my mouth.
A moment later, I raised my arms in a martial art I’d just invented, turning repeatedly on the spot.
Renise blinked at me.
“Excuse me, but what are–”
“Shhshhshh!!”
I paused, gazing intently around at the quiet, dark streets of Hartzwiese, all the while ignoring Coppelia’s giggling at my near miss.
That … That was close!
“O-Oho … oho … I almost invited something terrible. Truly, it’s perhaps best not to needlessly voice things which Fae Queens and their deviant brand of magic could use …”
Coppelia nodded at me, as proud as she was clearly disappointed.
“You’re lucky. If the Spring Queen had a sense of humour, she’d have snagged you right there and then.”
“No. If the Spring Queen had a sense of humour, she’d wait until–”

2024.05.19 05:12 PoolCold3906 My Journey Developing an App with Zero Coding Experience: Introducing Uni Explorer

Hey everyone,
I want to share my journey of developing my first mobile app, Uni Explorer, using React Native, in hopes that it will motivate you to take the plunge and develop an app yourself. Not only can you bring your ideas to life, but you can also make money from it.
It took me about five months to bring Uni Explorer to life, and I’m proud to say it has been downloaded over 500 times in just two weeks! What makes this journey special is that I had zero coding experience before I started. The idea for Uni Explorer came to me when I realized how challenging it was to find comprehensive information about universities, IELTS courses, and consultants all in one place. I decided to take matters into my own hands and create a solution.
You can use it for free and share with your friends or relatives who might find it useful. You can search "Uni Explorer" on Google Play Store and Apple App Store. Download from there.
I relied heavily on online resources to learn everything I needed. ChatGPT was an incredible tool for answering my questions and guiding me through coding challenges. Stack Overflow became my go-to for troubleshooting specific issues, while YouTube tutorials and free courses on Coursera, Meta, and Udemy provided structured learning paths and hands-on projects that were crucial for understanding the basics and advanced concepts of app development.
The journey was far from easy. Collecting and organizing a large dataset from universities, consultants, and IELTS course providers was one of the most time-consuming parts. However, the satisfaction of overcoming these hurdles and seeing my app live on the app stores made it all worthwhile.
If there's one piece of advice I can offer, it's this: don't let the lack of experience deter you from pursuing your ideas. The resources available online today make it entirely possible to learn and build something amazing from scratch. Take your time, be patient with yourself, and stay persistent. You might just surprise yourself with what you can achieve.
I hope my story inspires some of you to take that first step towards bringing your own ideas to life. Not only can you create something valuable, but you can also open up new opportunities for personal and professional growth.
Best of luck to everyone on their own journeys!

2024.05.19 05:06 stel1234 [Resource] You never know who will play your mashup: Why we give production feedback especially on album projects + common issues

I know a lot of producers have talked about unsolicited feedback in the past but this post isn't about that. It's about feedback for various projects and feedback that gets requested and given. This also applies equally to original production in many cases.
A good number of mashup producers do not tend to master or don't apply limiters on tracks, or just make them softer compared to commercial levels. When albums get mastered, loudness will usually be adjusted through various plugins (EQ, multiband compressors, limiters, clippers, etc.) to shape masters so that one track is not significantly louder or softer than another especially back-to-back and groups of tracks follow a certain sound.
What this means is that once your softer mashup of -14 or -15 LUFS or softer is amplified to commercial levels in the -7 to -11 LUFS range or more depending on genre and how the overall track should sound given peaks and valleys with softer and louder parts (LUFS stands for loudness units full scale, look that up), small issues may stand out like thorns when amplified. Bottom line: Don't take the small or big issues personally; we're all human, we all miss things, and we can all improve. You may learn something new!
Think of it like how you ask to proofread writing to check for spelling or grammar and have it work for the audience.
All this to say, feedback I give or others give based on small details may come across as nit-picks at first. Don't completely discount them. You never know who will want to play your tracks, and this could range from personal playlists all the way up to DJ gigs and big festival stages.
In the case of a club DJ or performances on festival stages, volumes will be significantly louder than what you may have worked with when you created the track. I've given the restaurant food analogy before but I'll give it again: If something clearly doesn't taste good, people won't usually know why. But an experienced chef who knows how the ingredients interact sure will.
Just something to think about as you improve on mashup production and production in general.
Here are some issues below that experienced mashup producers could point out. Note that a lot of the "don't do this" stuff is really code for "don't do this unless you really know you're doing and it sounds good":

Big issues

Smaller issues

Wow that was a lot and I know it's very overwhelming who don't produce a ton. There might be more issues I didn't mention here, so let me know if there's anything else that could be useful.

2024.05.19 05:01 alexplayz227 Sakuya Izayoi vs Dio Brando: Overlook, debunk and analysis

(prepare for a hella yap session)
I am not much of a hater. Even some of the heavily hated stuff, take RWBY for example, I can easily ignore the negatives and look at the positives. Though, there are 4 things I hate in this world. Katsuki Bakugo, Ragyo Kiryuin, Marilyn Manson and Dio vs Sakuya. Now while the first two are for another day on why I hate them and the third one is a musician which I won't talk about here, I will happily explain here why this is one of the worst matchups. Not just for Sakuya, or just Dio, or just for Touhou or Jojo. No. One of, if not, the worst matchup. Period. At the end, I will leave recommendations to other matchups for them. And by the way, this is in the style of u/McMania's matchup ranking style, atleast from what I can find from him so thank you for this indepth overview/kinda debunk. Let's go.
Part 1: Connections
Well, heres the thing. There aren't any! The only connection is "they stop time". There is also the fact they use knives but Sakuya's main weapon are her knives while Dio has several other means of attacking. Okay. By that definition, Michael Newman from the 2006 movie "Click" vs Dio can work as well. I will not deny the fact they both can stop time but with it being a small connection and it being the only one, and the fact it can be applied to many other characters, it is barely impressive. Although, while the connections suck. I want to point out one of a few positives.
Part 1.5: Contrasts
Now while the connections suck, the contrasts is actually interesting. With Dio being a vampire, having a human servant while also having time powers and using knives (again, weak connections). While Sakuya is a vampire HUNTER and she is the said human servant to a vampire (Remilia). Now Remilia vs Dio is a topic for a different time, this is a neat contrast matchup. But that is the only thing carrying it. Nothing else impressive. For connections, I will have it as a 0.5/10. Now, how thematic is it?
Part 2: Thematic
Not in the fucking slightest. According to Mr Mania, a thematic matchup is how similar their story is and how good the theme is. Like I said earlier, very bad themes to it. But a vampire theme is decent to this. And their stories matching up, the fucking fuckity no. They do NOT allign up in the SLIGHTEST. So that, it gets a ZERO out of 10. Next up, animation potential.
Part 3: Animation potential
Okay, you get the win this time. With how much fanmade sprites, 3d renders and how easy it could be drawn as. Although for the other options, I feel it isn't as impressive. For that, Im giving this an 8. But only because of how popular and good their sprites, 3d renders and drawability are.
Part 4: Fight potential
Hmm. We could use the knives, but Dio uses a multitude of other weapons. Also, Sakuya's spell cards and hax completely negate all of Dio's weapons so for that, this gets a 4 due to the fact Sakuya hard counters all of Dio's hax. By Mr Mania's definition, even if one character hard counters, as long as its nothing basic, it gets a 4 or higher.
Part 5: Interaction Potential
If you know stuff about Touhou, Sakuya is mainly just hands. With that, Dio will be the main talker in this. Which he will be very cocky but Sakuya, she will ignore Dio. This is my main issue with Sakuya as she isn't much of a talker in a fight, but knowing how cocky Dio will be, she will probably ignore Dio even more. With that, it gets a 3. They can interact, its just realistically, Sakuya refuses.
Part 6: Story Potential
Again, another suprising positive. Sakuya actually has a motivator for fighting as Dio is a vampire and she hunts vampires. Although, by Mr Mania's definition, there has to be a sort of growth or something interesting about the story and the fight. Which brings it down as I doubt Sakuya will have much of a reaction to Dio's death (spoiler for part 8 of this). And I don't see anything special about this. With that, it gets a 5.
Part 7: Music Potential
Okay, you got lucky again. I refuse to elaborate but it can be done in rock, classical, metal, etc. As well as with plenty of music to work with and the said music both blending well and going hard as fuck. I am giving it a 10. But their other matchups also get a 10 in music so nothing impressive.
Part 8: Debatability.
If I could, I would give it a 0 or negatives. But, by Mr Mania's definition, if both have feats, at minimum, it gets a 1. And dear god, Sakuya farts and Part 3 of Jojo is gone (please don't make fetish art from me mentioning that). Anyways, the only way Dio can win is with EoH or comp Dio; entirely different matchups to begin with. So with that, I give it a 1, but if the definition gets changed, I am willing to give it even lower.
Part 9: Promotability
Again, another positive. Lots and lots of offical renders for both. As well as lots of fanart for both to be able to use. For drawing, its literally a maid with white hair and a blonde buff dude wearing a yellow suit. Extremely easy to draw. Even I could draw it. Although for trailers, we gotta use the fanmade anime for Sakuya. But plenty of clips for Sakuya. With that, it gets an 8. Mainly due to Sakuya needing a fanmade anime for her clips.
Part 10: Recognizability
Touhou isn't that recognizable. I first heard of Touhou from Bad Apple in my recommendations in my Youtube feed but with the amount of fan content being popular but not noticing it is Touhou, it could be recognizable. As for Dio, well Dio is an anime icon along with Jojo. But, with that, gets a 6. Mainly carried by Dio and stuff like Bad Apple and Fumo memes.
Total: 45.5/100. By u/McMania and "The Council"'s definition, FAILURE. (suprisingly, it did 1.5 points better than Kiritapp's original review). By definition from Mr Mania, it could work but hella issues with the episode.
Now, who is better for them?
If you want a good matchup with Sakuya fighting a Jojo character or Dio fighting a Touhou character? May I introduce you to Sakuya vs Pucci (https://www.reddit.com/DeathBattleMatchups/s/Ujld0klUVM) and Dio vs Byakuren (https://www.reddit.com/DeathBattleMatchups/s/h1MiTLbddY). Now, they aren't perfect but they are way better than this piece of shit matchup. Now, lets first talk about the star of the show first: Sakuya Izayoi
Sakuya has plenty of options I really like. Bayonetta and Alucard from Castlevania immediately come into mind. Bayonetta makes Sakuya's time powers properly treated while Alucard gives an interesting debate and hella potential with other stuff. Besides those two stars and the priest, it kinda stops there. (someone please make a good Sakuya matchup.)
Dio on the other hand, I will be talking about four Dios. Part 1, Part 3, EoH and Comp.
Part 1 should go to Muzan from Demon Slayer. Should be the same amount of potential with Johnathan vs Tanjiro but villain and less emotion yet a more colder death.
Part 3, two actually. Voldomort from Harry Potter and Alucard from Hellsing are both his best for going over Part 3 Dio. I will skip Diego as they are different yet similar due to the reset. Also Diego is a separate entity.
Eyes Of Hevaen Dio, I choose What If Ultron. I think the highlights are the interaction potential from it and it's amazing connections.
And Comp Dio, Reverse Flash or Beatrice from Umineko. I know the second one is controversial but I would say it is 10x better than Sakuyio. As it actually presents them in a good light and their actual personalities are presented well.

2024.05.19 05:01 ObviousTruck4400 RJ spiking because I caught him in lies, after so much progress

Hello everyone. Need advice. Long post ahead, so please bear with me.
I've (f21) been in a LDR with my boyfriend (m23) for a little over six months, known each other for almost a year. We fell in love quickly, as it almost seems we were designed for each other. He's like none of my exes, and I'm like none of his. We quickly established that we have long term intentions with each other that will hopefully lead to marriage and that we'd felt this way about no one else before. I still love him.
We are both a part of a religion where it is normal to talk about sexual history and any other intimate history up front, which we did (or so I thought). Early on we had that conversation and it included sharing our sexual history, the length / major details of last relationship and breakup, whether or not we'd lived with exes or were considering marriage with / engaged to other exes at any time, things of that nature-- things that would be hurtful if found out later. Not more detailed than necessary as to provoke each other, but enough to have transparency about each other's past before continuing in the relationship.
We started "talking" about two months after he got out of a 2.5 year long relationship, and it was the only girl he was ever sexually active with. He told me this during the conversation above. Naturally, learning this was enough to provoke my RJ but I largely kept it at bay and was able to address a lot of it with myself and move on over time, without dragging him into it.
Until I began catching on to some dishonesty
A couple of months later he revealed to me that he was actually SA-d by his ex girlfriend and that most of the sex was coerced, and the times it was not coerced, he felt pressured into it. He didn't call it r*pe, but that's what it is. I was obviously horrified that he had this experience (I have, also, but felt comfortable mentioning it up front), but it also upset me because I was led to believe that he had consensual sex with this girl, and as a result I had been jealous for a very long time. So I immediately felt overwhelmed with my own guilt for ever feeling jealous, and over the weeks afterwards struggled back and forth between that guilt and the same jealousy, although I knew the jealousy was wrong. This was kept to myself. I would never expect someone to come forward about their SA immediately, and so I can't really say he did anything wrong by keeping it from me, and I wouldn't call this a "lie" like the things I'll go on to mention below. Anyway, weeks passed and I was able to move on and was just thankful he felt comfortable enough to come forward.
January. Random bout of jealousy while in person. I go through his phone while he is in bathroom and find out that he, just a couple of months prior to us dating and right before his last breakup, had been planning to move to Florida by the end of the prior year to live with his then gf who had just moved (same one who SAd him). I also found out that they'd lived together for a few months during the relationship. This was all completely contrary to what he had told me, and I was extremely heartbroken and confused that 1) He'd lie to me about it, since we established up front that this sort of thing is important to us and 2) Why he'd want to move across the country to join someone who had sexually assaulted him. Obviously, going on someone's phone isn't ideal but I likely wouldn't have found out otherwise. This fueled my distrust and insecurity. We hashed it out and he apologized with what seemed like a sincere apology, and said that there is nothing else he is hiding from me, and that it won't happen again. I did my best to believe him, and tried to get over it all. And largely did-- less due to effort and more to due forgetfulness.
A couple of months pass, and I come to visit him for the week of Valentine's Day. When it's time to leave, I missed my flight, and that following week was extremely difficult. While he had to go back to work, I had to do school, and he let me use his laptop (as I didn't expect to be there that long, and didn't bring mine). While I was working, notifications kept popping up in the corner for email, literally a couple every minute. I noticed that a lot were ads from local apartment complexes (he had never had plans to move, I thought), and let the curiosity get the best of me. I began looking through these emails and learned that he and his ex girlfriend, for 2 out of the 2.5 years, had been looking to move in together and were touring apartments regularly. They had actually signed on one and paid the down payment, and had plans to move in. I confronted him about this, and he immediately got defensive and I just lost my shit from there. He admitted to me that he had planned on keeping that a secret from me indefinitely, hoping I'd never find out because he "knew it would break my heart." My heartbreak, however, was less about the content of the lie and more about the fact that he'd lied (again). He stated another reason as him being ashamed. He did clarify that the plans to move into the apartment had fallen through, but I had never felt so betrayed in my life. We had a long conversation about it, he said that he was sorry and that there was "nothing else" he was keeping from me, and I verbally forgave him and tried to move on. I thought it was a very mature conversation, perhaps the most important we'd ever had, and it meant a lot to me. I found myself almost thankful for the conflict because it lead to such progress. My efforts to forgive failed, though. The next day while he's at work I searched his iPad and found out that after our conversation that he slandered me to a friend (someone I'd never met, but was about to be introduced to) over text and told him he was considering breaking up, conveniently leaving out that he had lied to me several times and that I wasn't actually a crazy freak. I confronted him about this, feeling somehow even more betrayed, and wondering what the hell I'd gotten myself into. We had another conversation just like the last, he said this is the last thing and that there's nothing else, apologized, and I tried with all my might to forgive him.
As you can imagine, this all makes it hard to believe anything else he's said and would say-- compliments, reassurance, normal chit chat, stories, everything. There comes a point when you go through a cycle of forgiving someone being deceived finding out repeat where it destroys your ability to trust and also to forgive, and as a consequence it's hard to forgive that person for destroying your ability to forgive. Word salad, but I don't know else to describe it. It's really sad. But this all particularly bent my mind about the SA. I don't doubt that he was SAd at all, but I would be lying if catching him in other serious lies didn't at times make me hope he wasn't lying about that, too, especially since I've been through it and take it very seriously. It's a tough thing to deal with, as I am normally conditioned to believing survivors no matter what. But what do you do if someone DOES lie about it? And how do you know? I had already shoved aside confusion as to why he'd stay in the relationship to begin with, because I understand abusers can put the abused in an impossible position that's very difficult to get out of, but learning that he had planned to live with her and HAD lived with her just exacerbated that confusion times a million.
All of this being said, we are still together and love each other. I haven't caught him lying about anything else. But I'm at a point where I swing wildly back and forth, depending on the day or hour, on whether or not I see him as the best man in the world or as the person responsible for destroying things about me. I had dealt with liars in past relationships and it really screwed me up mentally, and I spent years learning to grow a healthy capacity for trust again. So being in such a new relationship and having it happen once more has really been a slap in the face. I hate that I feel so inconsistently about my lover and don't know whether I'm the problem or him, perhaps a bit of both, and I definitely don't know what to do to move on. I doubt every compliment, every bit of reassurance, every kind word, every promise, even though all of this happened months ago. I know he's trying to repent but I can't get myself to consistently believe him, even though he probably is being sincere. Forgive the long post. And if you're willing, please help me.
All love. Thank you. -- C

After what I heard at a company meeting at Spectrum, maybe it's time to shed truth on what this and other cell phone companies are very sneakily having you pay and go unnoticed on your bill. First one, DO NOT ever pay using auto bill pay because you're not getting a service receipt or a detailed receipt as to where your cell/cable/streaming payment is primarily going towards. You'll have 100% much more safety and peace of mind if you have your statements sent to you every now and then. The worst company that kicked off all these investigations is T-Mobile. There's a ton of more info but I have to stop here. Hope it helps with those who need a phone of any kind of cell service. Lastly it's a smart idea that before bed have everyone to turn off your phones and use a regular alarm clock if you need one. Cell phones can be manipulated even if phone is off so mine is placed underneath blankets.

2024.05.19 05:00 PeroduaMeowvi How genius people think?

There is no doubt there are some genius people living in UNSW. I have a friend that took the same course had the same pace as mine but still ace his wam with HD and D. He play games a lot, read wikipedia and doesn't even use chatGPT but he finish his pre exam with avrg 48/50.
The only debuff he got from god are he doesn't know how to explain to the other about his code. Because when he explain. He speak in ancient programming language which i only have 1 single orange cat's brain cell can't understand.
So i want to hear you guys share your story who had, has or encounter with genius people?

I’ve been playing WFB since 3rd Ed, but never got into AoS, so as you might guess I was really excited for tOW. My local store is running a “learning league” with weekly matches, all kinds of scenarios, progressively larger games. I own six different armies, and chose my first love, Wood Elves.
I just finished my 6th game of Old World, 4th game in the league, the last at 1000 points. In my previous games I’ve leaned on Tree Kin and Treemen, with decent results. Tonight’s game was focused on claiming the center at the end of the game, and my opponent was Tomb Kings. Sweet Isha, it was just brutal. As I reported to the league discord, “Zero rounds of combat were fought, and you know what that means: crushing victory for the Wood Elves.”
After the game was over, my opponent and I chatted a bit. He’s someone who’s play a lot of Magic the Gathering, including some pretty high-level play, and what we agreed on is that Wood Elves are a lot like playing blue in MtG.

2024.05.19 04:55 seveneleven0215 I (34f) am 32 weeks pregnant, found Snapchat messages to another woman on my fiancé's (29m) phone, and I'm about to confront him.

TL:DR: My fiance is messaging another woman, and i am devastated. And very pregnant. How do i navigate this?
Background: We've been together for 5 years, engaged for 2.5. We have an 18-month old together and I am currently 32 weeks pregnant. I also have a 9 yo from a previous marriage. We bought a house together 2 years ago. I lost my job in March and he has his own business.
Full disclosure: I've been in some rocky relationships. I've been cheated on, I've been the cheater. But I have never loved anyone like this, and I've never even considered cheating on my fiance. In fact, I outgrew my "wild" phase when we started getting serious, and I have never been more happy, loved, satisfied, and wanted.
Until recently. 2 weeks ago, he had to go out of town for work. He asked me to go, but we had nobody to take care of our dogs, so I stayed home with my 18-month old (my 9 yo was with other parent). We had been in a weird funk for a couple of weeks before this, and I really didn't know why. I thought the distance would maybe help, and it did. We flirted, talked dirty, said how much we missed each other, & we were both super lovey. I couldn't wait for him to get home.
However, one odd thing happened. He told me he'd like to watch me with another woman. This immediately sent up red flags, because he knows that I HAVE done that before but he's never said he wanted that to happen. All kinds of thoughts went through my head.. "Is he wanting to see someone else? Am I not good enough anymore? am I not satisfying him sexually?" But, I told him I would do that since it was his fantasy. I asked him who he had in mind, because I KNEW he had to be thinking of someone. He said he didn't know, but suggested the person I did it with before, which happens to be my best friend. We were young and experimenting, we've grown past it, and I'm not interested in that with her at this point. So, i told him as much. He said okay, then we can go on a dating app or something together, and reassured me that he would NOT go on any without me or look for anyone without me.
Nothing much more has been said about it.. he worked at home for a week, then last week our son and I joined him out of town. I thought we were good.
Last night, I was in the bathroom getting ready for a surprise congratulatory dinner I threw for him for obtaining a new license for his business, and he left his phone in the bathroom with me. His Snapchat went off, it didn't phase me, but he hurried into the bathroom and snatched his phone up. It ended up being his brother and he announced that to me like.. I care? So it was weird. Later, he ran into the store and left his phone in the car and I snooped.
There was a message thread from a lady that I don't know. His last message to her was along the lines of, "I hope I didn't freak you out last night by asking you to fool around." She hadn't yet responded. I almost threw up. I didn't dare scroll up to see the rest of the conversation because I knew I wouldn't be able to handle it. I closed Snapchat and set his phone down, and drove home like nothing happened. I got my kids to bed, then sat in my bed and cried for 3 hours. He was in the basement watching TV.
I vented to my aforementioned best friend, who confessed to me that after we had talked about his fantasy, he messaged her to ask if she would be interested.. after I told him I didn't want that. Why didn't she tell me when it happened? Because she's an awful friend and always has been, but I can tell her anything. Now, though, I don't even want to talk to her.
I had no idea what to do. I'm broken. I text him to say that I wanted to get my tubes tied after this baby (we'd been debating on having another) because if something happened to us, we'd have 4 kids with split parents. Idk why, it was the only thing I could think of that would alert him to the fact that something was wrong, without having the full-on conversation. He asked why I was thinking like that, said that he would never leave me, blah blah blah, a bunch of total horse shit in my opinion. I eventually went to "sleep" (if you can even call it that), and he came to bed and snuggled up to me. I pretended to be snoozing.
We had a big fun day planned today, so I didn't want to ruin it for my kids. Which is why I chose to not confront him last night. I held it together pretty well, except in the shower and now. But he can tell something is wrong. He asked me about 100x what's wrong, if he did something wrong, etc. He also had a very bad upset stomach today. Maybe nerves?
Anyway, I'm now getting my kids to bed and then I'm going to sit down with him. I really don't know what to expect. I don't think there is anything he could say that will make me ever feel secure again. I truly thought this was my forever, my happy ending. I could go on and live this life, where I'm constantly second guessing myself and being suspicious any time he kisses me, but I don't want that. I'm in the most vulnerable position I've ever been in, and it is fucking terrifying. I have no one. I have no job, soon to be 3 kids, and hell, maybe homeless.
Please send me good vibes, prayers, whatever you believe. And if you have a similar story and you were able to move past it and be happy again, please tell me how.

2024.05.19 04:54 LLLNNNGGG Basic Skyrim Xbox logical load order (LLO) template with “vanilla plus+” examples (2024)

This is for us normies who don’t want to sift through a hundred youtube videos just to figure out basic information that should be readily available. This guide is designed for people who are new to modding.
This LLO follows Brxsie’s model. For more detailed info on categorization refer to their reddit post.
You can leave out any mod on this list that you don’t want except for USSEP.
Key:
*= my personal notes explaining what a mod does or why I added it
e.g. = extra examples of popular mods that should be placed in that category
Blurb
(skip this section if you want the quick version of this post)
Hi everyone; I’m not a modder nor a PC player, but I was desperate to figure out how to safely load my game with reasonable lore-friendly updates. Every LLO guide I’ve found so far has either been outdated, contradictory to other sources, does not specify which mods fall under what category, is way too vague, or way too specific. The mods I’ve listed here should be easily searchable on the recently updated Xbox creations menu so that any Xbox player can easily copy this list. Originally, I was just recording my LLO for my own personal use, but I figured this could help people who don’t have the time to put in as much research as I have.
If you are brand new to modding, vanilla+ means that you want to stay faithful to the original game as much as possible while upgrading the look of your Skyrim world and making a few convenient tweaks. The least “true to the original game” mod on this list is convenient horses. In my experience so far, this LLO plays just as smoothly as vanilla Skyrim.
Unless I wrote a note next to the mod stating otherwise, all of these mods are independent of one another, except for: divine atmosphere, divine atmosphere snowflake edit, and realistic snowflakes. If you like the ugly fractal snowflakes in divine atmosphere then don’t bother with the other two mods, but if not, you need the vanilla snowflake edit and the snowflake texture mod to go together. Therefore, you can leave out any mod on this list that you don’t want except for USSEP), and the game will function normally.
To customize settings of mods while in-game, go to magic -> powers. “Equip” the mod you want to change and press RB once out of the menu. This is relevant to divine atmospheres, divine interiors, flute finder, convenient horses, and some dialogue mods.
Most mods on this list can be downloaded or deleted safely while playing a pre-existing save file. Deleting mods become problematic when you have already added and interacted with a custom item to the game and then delete the mod that supported the item. When testing new mods, I suggest only adding a few at a time so that you know what to delete if you encounter any issues.
If you are reading this on a laptop or PC, you can press command/control F to search for keywords of the mods you want to install to find where they belong in the LLO.
Personally, my favorite mods that I’ve added to the game are the dialogue mods and the texture mods. They make Skyrim feel like a real world with real people living in it and I would highly suggest using some or all of them. I’d also love to hear everyone’s suggestions on proposed edits to this load order. Please let me know if you are aware of any conflicting mods or bugs, or if I have made any mistakes in my layperson's explanation of techy stuff. Unsure if this is relevant information, but I’m located in the USA.
Extra notes:
What the heck is a leveled list? A leveled list is a change in the code that makes changes to certain values. Such as changing how much gold a character has or how powerful an enemy is.
And what exactly is an area edit? An area edit is any mod that adds or significantly changes a location in the game. This includes adding extra trees, adding extra smelters, or adding custom player homes that do not exist in vanilla, among other things.
Why are there all of these categories and why is it so complicated? LLO sorts mods so that the game can load the most important files first. When LLO is not followed, the game will inevitably crash. Categories allow us to sort mods into the LLO based on how they interact with the game's code. People sometimes disagree on what order to put the categories in, but all LLO templates use the same basic categories.
I do not use immersive citizens AI because multiple people have reported bugs. Other people have no issues with it, but I prefer to stay on the safe side.
Remember to lower your in-game brightness, especially when you are using divine interiors and divine atmospheres. If the brightness is all the way up, things will start to glow. You will have to use torches in locations with zero light, such as corners in caves. This adds a realistic feel to the game. If you give a torch to your follower, they will automatically use it in in low-light conditions. I switch between default/glimmegrim/vivid depending on where I am and how colorful I want things to be. The game may look darker overall as you can see in the screenshots, but this is more true to how lighting works in the real world.
Skyrim 101 tip: When you ditch items to reduce your carry weight, store them somewhere (such as a dead body or a chest) instead of dropping them on the ground. If you drop items all over your game it will eventually lag.
When creating a new character, keep in mind that once you start playing, you might change the lighting and make the colors more saturated. For example: I accidentally gave myself yellow hair instead of natural blonde because I forgot about lighting and atmosphere changes. This is another reason to install the vanity mirror mod, which allows you to change your character mid-game.
Storage space: all of the mods I have listed here take up approximately 4.36GB.
I suggest keeping a note of your LLO on your phone so that you can easily categorize mods you want to add the future.
Sometimes LLO will not save, so I recommend double-checking that everything landed in the right spot or backing up your LLO to bethesda before exiting the LLO menu.
Sometimes you need to restart your game to enable a newly installed mod.
How to delete a complex mod without causing problems: disable the mod, hard reset (hold power button for 10 secs or unplug the console), uninstall the mod, hard reset.
I’ve noticed a bug where I cannot tell my follower (Lydia) to do anything in “command mode”. I don’t know what’s causing this- it seems like a dialogue issue but I rarely use the command mode feature anyway so it’s small enough for me to ignore for now. Let me know if you find out what's causing this!
*Blurb over\*
Master Files
Foundations: Lots of game changes (e.g. cheat room, encounters overhaul, etc.)
Dialogue Overhauls
Fonts/UI (excluding map mods)
Alterations to vanilla quests
Any craftable item
Game mechanic changes: races, perks, vampires, adoptions, etc.
Level Progression (e.g. Clever leveling)
Perk overhauls/changes
Magic additions and modifications
Leveled list changes (e.g. rebalanced leveled lists)
NPC Leveled list (e.g. organized bandits in skyrim)
Any audio
Weather and Atmosphere (put weather up ^ in LLO if the mod is just a weather mod and not an atmosphere mod)
Grass
Grass Fixes
Skin/skeleton physics and appearance changes
Animation mods
Meshes and Textures
*The mods I’ve listed in this section should cover almost every visual in the game. Nothing is too drastic of a style change and fits right in to the game’s vibe.
Non-combat NPC AI
Immersion (e.g. immersive patrols, landlord etc.) - can be tricky to categorize
Anything that changes a character’s/npc face or hair (e.g natural eyes)
Interior lighting changes
Interior decorating changes
Lightweight multiple area edits
Single area edits like player homes
Multiple area edits (e.g. divine cities)
*I do not recommend divine cities or divine villages because it can be buggy. One time Lydia got permanently stuck in a modded tavern and I had to backtrack through an hour of progress to get her back out
Adding individual unique objects
Combat changes, combat AI (e.g. realistic damage, wildcat)
Unique follower mods (e.g. Sofia)
Mods that add new quests (mods that alter vanilla quests do not go here)
Map mods
Mods that specify bottom LO

2024.05.19 04:54 Roo0y One UI 6.1 Problem with Animations

Hey, hello everyone, I'm a user of s22, I updated my cell phone to one ui 6.1 about a week ago, everything was going well, the animations were very fluid and when leaving the applications (with the navigation bar) the animations were fluid and very similar to the ones I can see in an s24 or an iPhone, but today I've given myself how much they have changed and the animations when closing the applications are more similar to those of one ui 6, has anyone else happened? How can I go back to the original One UI 6.1 animations? I haven't updated One UI Home or anything, please help, the One UI 6 animations are much lower than the 6.1 animations.
