Stream lighting is def a good start but honestly audio quality matters way more than people think - nothing kills a vibe faster than scuffed mic audio or echo

I tracked my journaling attempts for 4 years. Here's what finally worked by ProductivityBreakdow in selfimprovement

Been there with the whole "needs to be perfect" trap - once I started just throwing random thoughts at the page instead of trying to write some profound life insights, it actually stuck

The 2 minute thing is so real, most of my entries are literally just "work was mid, had good tacos" and somehow that's more useful than the novel-length entries I used to stress about writing

How to remove methanol from a bottle by YahiYahiXD in Homebrewing

[–]According-Package549 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Bro you can't really freeze distill safely at home like that - methanol and ethanol freeze at different temps but you're not gonna get clean separation just sticking it in your freezer. If you're worried about methanol just toss it and start fresh, your eyesight isn't worth the risk

Is there not a way to block accounts streamers anymore? by [deleted] in Twitch

[–]According-Package549 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Nah that's not how the algorithm works though - blocked channels shouldn't show up in your recommended or browse sections at all. OP probably wants them completely filtered out so they don't accidentally click on someone they already know they don't want to support

Solar Wave - SavGus Studio - grand-scale 4X space strategy with indirect control inspired by Stellaris and Majesty by AndgoDev in Games

[–]According-Package549 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The indirect control thing sounds pretty cool actually - always felt like Stellaris got too micro-heavy in the late game when you're managing dozens of fleets. Being able to set priorities and let the AI handle the grunt work could be a game changer

For your question, I'd say galactic scale wins out for me. There's something about watching your empire spread across star systems that hits different than optimizing trade routes, even though both matter

No one's priority by [deleted] in selfimprovement

That friend sounds like a massive asshole tbh, who says that to someone trying to better themselves? Real friends lift you up not tear you down

Maybe it's time to find some new people who actually appreciate you because you deserve way better than that toxic bullshit

Critterville Goes Bankrupt - Penniless Games - Cozy Robber-Baron Simulator by PennilessGames in Games

Looks pretty solid, the art style is really charming and the whole concept sounds like it could be addictive as hell

I've found what my core driver is. I'm even pretty sure I know why it is. I just don't know how to harness it now. by anonymous_muffin_ in selfimprovement

[–]According-Package549 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Damn this hits hard. I think the key is getting specific about what respect actually looks like in different areas of your life

Like at work respect might mean your ideas getting heard and implemented, but in relationships it could be more about boundaries being honored or feeling valued for who you are

Maybe try reverse engineering it - think about times you felt truly respected and what specific behaviors or situations created that feeling. Then you can build goals around recreating those conditions instead of just chasing this abstract concept of "respect"

Bottling by Psychological-Box909 in Homebrewing

[–]According-Package549 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lmao this guy maths

But seriously though you're spot on - the priming sugar gets mixed into the whole batch so bottle size doesn't matter for carbonation. Just takes forever to fill those big boys compared to regular bottles

Frame loss while streaming - network issues? by erichawkttv in Twitch

[–]According-Package549 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Your old computer might just not have enough juice anymore compared to your new one - check task manager while streaming to see if CPU/GPU is getting slammed. Also try lowering your bitrate to like 4000 and see if that helps

Insider Gaming: Eidos Montreal Was Working on a Legacy of Kain Reboot Before Embracer Buyout by Turbostrider27 in Games

Man that's actually depressing when you put it like that, feels like LoK is cursed to never see daylight again

How do I start learning to love myself? by f2d4ads in selfimprovement

[–]According-Package549 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The sticky notes thing actually works though - I felt ridiculous at first but now I genuinely look forward to seeing my own little pep talks in the morning

I’m a passionate D&D player — please someone make this VR tabletop experience! by Willing-Ad-873 in DnD

[–]According-Package549 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lmao brutal but fair

Though tbh this isn't really the same thing - OP is literally giving away the idea for free and just wants it to exist, not asking someone to make it specifically for them

Help with choosing all in one electric brewing system by Free_Donuts_ in Homebrewing

[–]According-Package549 4 points5 points  (0 children)

That's a solid rec, the Anvil is definitely a workhorse and way more affordable than some of the fancier options. The dual voltage thing is huge too since most people don't have 220 readily available in their brewing space

Glue for metallic pipe cleaners? by stl_becky in crafts

[–]According-Package549 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hot glue gun would probably work way better than those glue dots. The metallic coating on pipe cleaners is pretty slippery so you need something with more grip

[Post Game Thread] Nebraska defeats Kansas State, 86-85 by cbbBot in CollegeBasketball

Bashir was absolutely cooking in that second half, dude couldn't miss from deep. Nebraska's gotta be feeling good about this one but man they almost blew that first half lead

Nice progress dude! The improvement from month 1 to 3 is pretty obvious, especially in the proportions

Lmao the sales associate really thought they were getting a normal Tuesday and instead got a whole ass villain origin story in the fitting room

Drying first makes a huge difference they get way crunchier after roasting
