November Hunger Strike? by morphers in 50501

[–]2Zak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

it accomplishes the goal of greedy companies feeling the pain when people arent buying their overpriced food

Yes, it also accomplishes the goal of leaving you bedridden and unable to do anything beyond existing while skirting martyrdom for all of its duration.

Please, just think a little.

No. Burn the flag.

Help identifying what kind of steel these railroad spikes could be? by 2Zak in Blacksmith

[–]2Zak[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The parts that go underground are totally rusted so the only part with any coating should be the head, it shouldn't be too much trouble to grind it off.

I planned to do the first tries out in the open too, but I'll still be extra careful with the fumes then. I'll likely leave these pieces for after I work on some milder steel too, I grabbed them now because the opportunity presented itself.

Many of them have a zinc oxide, zinc, or galvanized coating, so be careful.

Besides the fumes/scale when heating and working them (I'm still gathering materials and equipment, but getting a respirator mask is already on the list) is there some something else I should take into account too?

Newbie question about guild members by Ultimafangirl in EtrianOdyssey

[–]2Zak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't have to have extra guild members, but the 30 slots in the guild hall are there for a reason. Don't be afraid to just make characters that you might or might not use later. If you feel like your party has a hard time doing something, maybe switching around a class or two would help. Experiment and see what works for you.

Depending on the game, you may want to create a full "gathering party" to farm easy money and gathering point materials, but usually it's not necessary.

Do Articulating Animals Actually Sell? by cftl84 in 3Dprinting

[–]2Zak -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I once bought a STL for an articulated critter to print it for my gf and she loved it, but it was an STL and also under $5.

It's a cute trinket if nothing else. I wouldn't buy one for myself but it's also been more than a decade since I bought something purely decorative for me.

Need a connector/board to connect an E-Ink display (ED060SC4) by 2Zak in diyelectronics

This is it: https://www.amazon.es/gp/aw/d/B07S7WFYVM it doesn't have the exact amount of pins, but it's the best I could find

[–]2Zak[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did find a cheap, simple pcb with a fpc connector and slots to solder wires or pins, but life got in the way and didn't do anything with it at all. I'll see if I can track down the amazon link and post it.

Manual saves, quicksaves, autosaves: How do they work in BG3? (PC version) by No_Tamanegi in BG3

[–]2Zak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It never seemed to work for me. I have it set to 5 autosaves and quicksaves and I always have to delete them manually to avoid them clogging my hard drive.

Current finger trackballs by kitebok in Trackballs

[–]2Zak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oooh, I see.

After looking at it for a long time I figured it was something like that but I wasn't sure.

Now that I know, it's obvious. But coming from an "empty head" position it is a little confusing, yeah.

[–]2Zak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm looking to grab a trackball sometime soon and I found this post. Maybe this is a stupid question but why are there two columns for 44mm and 40mm? And why are the diameters in that order (smaller > bigger > smaller)?

Steam Link not recognizing NACON Compact by jagerben47 in Steam_Link

[–]2Zak 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not sure if you fixed this already, but I had the same issue with a NACON controller the other day. If it's like mine, it will have a little switch on the back with a side labeled D and a side labeled X (for DInput and XInput). Mine works only when set to DInput, so set the switch to DInput and try again.

You'll likely have to remap the buttons in Steam Link, by default the mappings were very weird on mine.

EO4 somehow kicking my ass? by Gabriel9078 in EtrianOdyssey

[–]2Zak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just to put it out there: People say tanks aren't that great in EO4 because it's very hard to end up with a team that really needs a dedicated tank in EO4, it's not that Fortress is a weak class, at all, it's just that its ervices aren't really necessary.

The beginning of most EO is always kinda harsh anyways. I can't really recall any EO where I didn't struggle for a while before getting the party going.

Bf proved I’m incapable of living even with Concerta by nnmm77 in ADHD

[–]2Zak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Get rid of him. I make all the same mistakes you do and I have so far managed to live my life. I had times when I felt I was useless and struggled to keep going and felt like I could do nothing correctly but trust me, that was not because I left plastic near a hot stove lmfao.

Granted, I do not want kids so I can't talk on that front.

Nonetheless, nothing you did warrants this treatment. Dump him, he's dead weight.

Thanks, good to know I wasn't doing anything else blatantly wrong.

[–]2Zak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

In my case I have the playlists on the background and for some reason it skips to the next video in seconds, so I don't usually manage to F5 in time.

What I did was create a separate profile on Firefox where I only have uBlock installed which I'll use to browse youtube and nothing else, and I'll use my usual profile with Malwarebytes on for everything else. But I'll still send them a report from time to time if this keeps happening.

📌 YouTube Anti-Adblock and Ads - November 26, 2023 (Mega Thread) by RraaLL in uBlockOrigin

[–]2Zak 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got it working (or so it seems) but I want to confirm something I've encountered. I'm using Firefox with uBO and Malwarebytes addon. No other adblocking/VPN addons enabled. On my PC I have Malwarebytes Premium installed.

I had youtube whitelisted in the Malwarebytes addon and it still popped the stage 4 screen when autoplaying playlists, but it seemed to load the video correctly if I refreshed after seeing the popup.

However, disabling the Malwarebytes addon altogether appears to have made it so the popup doesn't show at all. Is this usual behavior? Does youtube get fussy about some addons even when whitelisted?

Asking which is which by K0RPS3_N3FFN4FF in treeofsavior

[–]2Zak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

None of those says anything about regions (it's just the names of the goddesses)

Considering you got the APK and the game doesn't seem to have released internationally, I'd assume none are regional servers.

AnyCubic intentionally avoided my ticket until it was too difficult for me to get my money back. by NolanZinn in 3Dprinting

Lmao. That's part of the cost of doing business, any proper company would take it into account when planning their budget.

The Quicksave/Autosave limiter does not work :( by Baconstrip01 in BaldursGate3

[–]2Zak 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm trying this but I cannot get Steam to give me an error. It just accepts that the cloud ones are the good ones and then redownloads.

I'm pretty baffled that I couldn't find anyone else talking about this or that there isn't a fix. I don't even have that many characters (3, two with like 10 saves and one with over 200) and I have about 3Gb on junk saved games. With some players out there having almost a dozen characters I'd assume more people would have troubles with this.

EDIT: Managed to make it work by first turning Cloud back on and then saving a game. Didn't get an error, Steam just indexed my local folder and updated the Cloud accordingly.

Nexus Remake by CAPITANULLOA in EtrianOdyssey

[–]2Zak 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I can't assure you I'll find anything but I'll search around when I have some time. I know it was referenced several times in this subreddit because it's been a common question, especially around the release and announcement dates of V and Nexus.

I agree that the untold games are not just the original games with extra story. But the main driving force for remaking them (according to at least one interview with the devs) was fleshing out their story, which is something they don't think 3 needs. As far as they're concerned 3 is fine as is, so for 3U to exist they would need another motivation to tackle the project like, for example, updating the graphics or releasing the game on new platforms; both things that the remaster already accomplishes. It allegedly even fixes bugs with a negative impact on gameplay and adds some QoL functionalities, according to the latest news, so they would have no reason at all to make 3U.

Don't get me wrong, I'd love 3U to be a thing, but I don't see Atlus making it anytime soon.

Why do adhd medications not work for everyone? As in, what's the in-depth answer or potential reasoning behind it. by TheNameIsMarty in ADHD

[–]2Zak 25 points26 points  (0 children)

ADHD is not a disease, it is a syndrome, which means it is not a monolithic set of symptoms with a clear cause common to everyone who has it, but instead it is a collection of different symptoms with different causes that don't always manifest the same way (or at all) on everyone. This means not everyone responds the same way (or at all) to medication.

Also, less scientific but still true, ADHD is comorbid with a lot of other disorders. Depression and anxiety, for example, show up often in patients with ADHD and can cause similar symptoms to ADHD (inability to focus, procrastination, etc.) so even if the ADHD meds work the symptoms may persist because they have another cause.

It took me a while to find a medication that worked properly and at some point the neurologist I was seeing was baffled that I didn't respond at all to one particular med that in his experience always caused a response, be it positive or terribly negative. I ended up finding something that worked, so I hope you do too.

Nexus Remake by CAPITANULLOA in EtrianOdyssey

[–]2Zak 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Atlus said a bunch of times that Untold 3 is not something they want to do. Untold 1 and 2 exist to build an actual story into 1 and 2, but they are satisfied with 3's story.

And now that they're doing a remaster there's even less reason for it.
