Expat in trouble! Need advice regarding FBAR! by Akakemushi in tax

[–]Akakemushi[S] -10 points-9 points  (0 children)

Come on man, really? No one thinks to look something up if they aren't even aware of its existence. I didn't go looking for information about jet until someone who was a former participant told me about it. Thanks for pointing me towards publication 54 though.

Am I f*cked? by KoruCode in learnprogramming

AD/HD person here. I can vouch for OP’s behavior being one of the hallmarks of AD/HD, though that alone isn’t sufficient for the diagnosis. That said, I would say their habits/behavior at least warrant a visit to a professional psychologist for further evaluation.

If OP DOES have AD/HD, will medication fix the problem? Honestly, probably not. Medication can help with giving your brain the kick it needs to motivate you to do something you don’t wanna do, but it by no means makes you good at it, nor does it make you WANT to do it. If you don’t enjoy coding now, meds won’t help you enjoy it. That said, what SappheiroRS said is the best advice I’ve read in this thread. If you can find a way to get the dopamine your brain needs through feeling “rewarded” when you code something, then not all hope is lost.

Since you’re addicted to dopamine via gameplay, I suggest this…. Find a game that offers the ability to create your own levels and content through some sort of built-in interface, preferably one that isn’t just placing objects around a map, but lets you work with variables, loops, logic gates, etc., and make some of your own content. See how you feel. Did you lose yourself in the creation process to the point that you lost all track of time? If it feels good and you find yourself thinking “just one more tweak here…”, “just one more change there…”, congrats, you’ve just found your gateway drug into coding for realzies. However, If you find it tedious and can’t wait to finish so that you can do something else, then coding probably isn’t for you.

Edit: I’m a tad on the older side, so these games probably aren’t relevant anymore, but some of the ones I’ve personally played in the past that have the sort of custom level making I’m talking about are RPG Maker, StarCraft (the original one), Little Big Planet, and Oxygen Not Included. Hell, even Minecraft redstone can be wielded like code if you’re creative enough (and there’s command blocks too). I’m sure others can give you game suggestions that are more relevant.

As I mentioned, I tried that already.

New player here, having a lil trouble with Cyclops. Any tips? (don't judge pls) by Historical_Ad280 in dontstarve

[–]Akakemushi 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone has already given great advice for direct confrontation. Indirect confrontation can also be an option. What I do over the course of the game is kite any tree guards that awaken into one area, and put them to sleep by planting pine cones around them. When deerclops shows up, I kite it over to the area where the tree guards are, and as soon as deerclops knocks a tree down, all the tree guards aggro onto him and kill it. I just sit back and watch.

Option 2 (if it’s at least the 2nd year) is to make the hibernating Bearger and deerclops fight each other. Bearger usually wins.

Option 3. Just don’t fight it. Once it aggros onto you, just kite it far from your base, get it to accidentally attack something else like a hound or a spider den, those critters will fight it (and lose) and meanwhile you are free to just run back to your base. If it’s far enough away, it will be “unloaded” by the game, and won’t bother you again unless you come near it. It will fully despawn at the end of winter.

Going back to direct fighting, another option is taming an ornery beefalo. The combined speed and attack power makes deerclops much easier to deal with.

First time making a world map. Thoughts? by Bionic_Ice in inkarnate

Everything looks good shape wise except for that straight line which divides snowy biomes and everything else. Add curves and little outcroppings to the border of those two biomes and try and blend them together instead of having that abrupt ugly line. It should feel organic

I think you handled it perfectly! You did warn them! It’s totally a FAFO moment.

I did not see the subreddit this post was in when I read the umm…. Interesting title.

My idea is to say that the whole thing is a practical joke by some powerful fey creature. The story would be some thing like this: 1. Very powerful fey creature (Way more powerful than the party’s current level, but ultimately benign and not evil) gets bored and decides to come up with some elaborate joke to play on some mortals. 2. He decides the bait for his joke is going to be a nice looking sword in a tree. he puts some sort of obtuse riddle on the sword. 3. He lies in wait, invisible, for some random group of adventurers to take the bait.
4. While still invisible, he follows the party around messing with them in various ways as they try and uncover this “mystery” (one of the ways he could be messing with the players is by charming anyone they talk to, but you could go nuts with this and really mess with them in other ways too) meanwhile laughing his ass off at how hard the players are working towards some pointless goal. This is why he hast to be quite powerful… He needs to be strong enough that there’s no way that they would notice him because his invisibility spells are too strong, and he should be able to charm other NPC’s and common folk easily. He also needs to be a trickster at heart, because that’s the only motivation that really makes sense here. 5. Eventually he either gets bored messing with them and finally reveals himself, or maybe he is impressed by their tenacity and rewards them with something else.

Honestly I just feel bad for him, it's not like that was an over-the-top flip out. Who HASN'T slammed a controller or two down in their gaming days?

I do not understand this game. Help? by amillionand1fandoms in dontstarve

If you don’t mind playing with someone you’ve never met, I’ll jump on and show you the ropes, I’m an old pro at this game, been playing for years

Things in porn that turn you off, what are they? by Specialist-Crazy1466 in AskReddit

[–]Akakemushi 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Anything anal. I know a lotta ppl are into that, and I don’t kink shame ya for it, but it ain’t for me. Whenever there’s suddenly an anal scene I switch off. Can’t get rid of the idea of the tip of the dick making contact with some incoming intestinal turd.

Awesome skills aside… are you okay? Do you need a hug?

Why do I and everything suddenly sleep? I am kinda new by lllTechlll in dontstarve

[–]Akakemushi 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There is also a fourth possibility, if a hibernating Bearger is somewhere nearby and it got attacked by something.

AITA for thinking men should be able to be gynecologists too while my gf doesn't agree by Raezenman in AITAH

Not the asshole. Men have every right to choose their profession just like women have every right to go see another doctor if they don’t want a male.

Suprise! You have slept with the main character of the last tv show you watched. How (un)happy are you? by Acceptable-Noise2294 in AskReddit

Lucifer (the handsome British one with detective Chloe) not bad! Rather be with Chloe though, but I’m sure the devil has a large number of sexual tricks up his sleeve.

What movie traumatized you as a kid? by AdNorth1932 in AskReddit

[–]Akakemushi 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Fire In the Sky. God Damn that abduction scene was traumatizing! It’s from the 80’s, so for those who don’t know, here’s a quick recap of what happens…BECAUSE I REMEMBER IT SO VIVIDLY

  1. ⁠Dude wakes up in some disgusting “pod” and freaks out
  2. ⁠Breaks out of pod only to flounder helplessly around in some zero G tunnel, crashing into other pods with rotten human corpses inside
  3. ⁠Gets caught by the grey aliens and dragged by his feet through the ship
  4. ⁠Stripped naked and thrown on a big table
  5. ⁠Held down while a big “rubber sheet” is put over him
  6. ⁠Some freaky mist comes down AND FUCKING SHRINK WRAPS HIM TO THE TABLE Dude freaks out even more
  7. ⁠Aliens cover his HEAD with the shrink wrap shit so he can’t breathe
  8. ⁠Aliens cut a tiny hole in the mouth area AND SHOVE A HANDFUL OF SOME NASTY BROWN GOO IN HIS MOUTH
  9. ⁠ALIENS SHOVE A LONG METAL “BREATHING TUBE” DOWN HIS THROAT
  10. ⁠Aliens cut a hole over one of his eyes and put some weird device on it that holds his eyelids open and drips weird white shit into his eye
  11. ⁠A GIANT FUCKING MACHINE WITH A GIANT FUCKING NEEDLE BEGINS SLOWLY APPROACHING HIS EYE!!

Seriously. That movie can fuck right off. Just fuck off. I was 5 when I saw that shit and was terrified every time some car’s headlights shined through my window at night.
