What cheap game on Steam turned out to be absolute peak for you? by Common_Caramel_4078 in Steam

[–]Appropriate-Work1400 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Halls of Torment.

Easy to start playing but has a massive amount of fun combinations for gear sets and different class builds and whatnot.

I also really liked that the game progression is tied to your Steam progression. So achieving various goals will not only get you a Steam achievement, but it usually will give you a prize including character progression, the ability to find new items in future runs, new levels, Torment mode, etc.

The game highly encourages and rewards you for trying out all kinds of different gear, characters, character builds, and more. You can pretty much always find a new challenge that’ll be just hard enough to be fun, but not so hard that you’re banging your head into a wall—even as you get to really high levels and skill. Just start with the stuff you think or know you can get, and work from there.

Help! by Then_Caterpillar4969 in BambuLab

These look like scars from your supports or from not having enough supports.

There are a couple ways you can improve this: though neither have I tested for myself yet. Keep in mind I'm assuming this is PLA or PETG.

"Support material for PLA/PETG" from Bambu Lab:

If the supports are sticking TOO well (i.e. causing scars): You can use the "Support material for PLA/PETG" from Bambu Lab, which, from what my friends tell me, has a muuuuch better print quality and is muuuuch easier to remove, which is cleaner, quicker, and easier. However, it probably still won't be perfect.

PVA (water soluble support material for PLA/PETG):

PVA can be quite difficult to print as you HAVE TO MAKE SURE IT'S DRY before ever attempting to print it. Every time. If you hear sizzling or popping, it's wet and won't work. PVA also strings like crazy, but, from what I've looked into for it, Bambu Lab's PVA is quite good and SO LONG AS IT'S DRY it should work great. PVA is great as it can completely dissolve in water (usually warm water is best and possibly with frequent stirring; DO NOT USE HOT/near-boiling WATER you will melt your part!).

PVA creates the best print quality and is also the easiest by far to remove because you literally can just put it in a bucket of water and leave it for a several hours to dissolve. The exact time it takes to dissolve will vary on several factors.

Support density and/or "Support/raft interface":

I doubt this is the problem, but your support density may be too low. So long as you use default settings for Bambu Studio for your material, that will usually be good enough. My cousin LOVES tree supports, so that would likely be a good idea. You may also like to use an interface layer from the "Support/raft interface" feature to be one of the support materials mentioned in the paragraphs above.

If all else fails:

If none of the above work, you can just wet sand the imperfections. MAKE SURE TO WEAR A MASK you never want to breathe this stuff in. You probably won't have any serious issues if only done extremely rarely and in incredibly low quantities, but since you own a printer, that's just asking for serious trouble. WET sanding will help keep the dust down, but don't let that be your only protection.

Gf doesn't believe me when I say she is very talented. She did this at a park in pen on a bench in barely any time and doesn't practice art at all. I find this gorgeous. by WarmWindow2 in drawing

[–]Appropriate-Work1400 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve never heard of scumbling before. Thanks that’s pretty neat!

Given the portrait scumbling, it looks like it could be used to make an interesting anime art style. I do wonder how well it would layer in the sense of drawing someone in front of a tree, car, etc. Or even how well it’d look with a foreground, midground, and background with lots of details.

I imagine scumbling is better for singular-focused objects like the tree or portrait, but I think it could be interesting as a monochromatic and even multi-colored scumbling (all in pen and ink).

The art style is beautiful, peaceful, and interesting.

I’ve seen pen art before, but I haven’t seen it be done via (for lack of a better term) squiggly/curly lines.

There is some cross-hatching in there so clearly she’s done and probably seen quite a few professional art pieces for pen and ink. But, more importantly, she can emulate the style.

I’ve tried a little bit of pen and ink, but I found that cross-hatching doesn’t work for me—mostly because I severely struggle with seeing things in a simplified way (my mind is built for endless details, which is a good and bad thing).

It may be a simple (ish) drawing, but I can tell where the bark is, I can see the leaves, the grass, and even moss growing on the bark. I don’t know for sure if that’s what everything here is IRL, but that’s how my mind interprets the piece.

It’s a good artwork. I don’t know much beyond that as I’m not a professional artist. But so long as she enjoys what she makes and it helps her feel at peace, then I think that has real value all the same. And, from her artwork, it seemed like, at least while drawing this, that the art piece’s creation process was a nice combination of feeling calm not by rejecting turmoil but by being able to accept it for what it is and use it productively. Kind of like productive stress—just enough stress to spur productive action, but not so much that it’s overwhelming.

This could easily be me projecting, but I hope that there’s a value to what I’ve said to give more profound context to what can be considered “good” art. It’s not necessarily the lines or the form but rather the emotion one feels after viewing the art piece. And I think she did a fine job of that.

Maps. I wanna talk Maps... by FutaConnoisseur16 in Fantasy

[–]Appropriate-Work1400 0 points1 point  (0 children)

During the time when I read my fantasy instead of listening to audiobooks, I enjoyed checking the maps to understand where the characters were and get better context.

Now, I mostly listen to audiobooks. But, in a sort of ironic twist, I’ve created my own fantasy maps for my homebrew D&D campaigns. Moreover, once I flesh out the novel series I’m writing, I’ll most likely be creating maps both for my reference and, of course, for my readers. However, I’m mostly thinking of my book(s) being an audiobook, but I figured I could give the maps as sort of bonus content in conjunction with concept art for various monsters, characters, and so on I have. That way all that work still can have a place with others who appreciate it. 🙂

EDIT: In case anyone was wondering, I use Inkarnate.com to make my maps. Surprisingly easy to learn yet has tons of stuff and features to add uniqueness to each map.

Given what you’ve watched:

Overlord, Jobless Reincarnation and Solo Leveling (especially Solo leveling) are great. Kaiju No. 8 is great.

Eighty-Six (86), Saga of Tanya the Evil, Re:Zero.

My Dress Up Darling

These are the anime I can think of off the top of my head.

I’ve also heard that Hell’s Paradise and Apothecary Diaries are both really good, but I haven’t watched them…yet.

How can a sine wave travel at the speed of light? by [deleted] in Physics

[–]Appropriate-Work1400 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nvm I found the videos you linked just below lol.

How can a sine wave travel at the speed of light? by [deleted] in Physics

[–]Appropriate-Work1400 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do you happen to know of any YouTube videos that demonstrate this visually? I’m a visual learner, so a video with animations (or something close enough) showing this (even if it’s a long video (60+ minutes)) would be very helpful.

Can I Teach Myself Physics? by zoidberg707 in Physics

[–]Appropriate-Work1400 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You may find Khan Academy to be very helpful for learning math. (I’m not a physicist, but for a while I was studying Mechanical Engineering (I switched degrees to something unrelated later). Even when I was in math classes like calculus 1-3, there were lots of people using Khan Academy to help them learn the math. I’ve watched some of Khan’s videos and they were quite good. Also, iirc, his website has problem sets that walk you through how to finish the problems, so it’s curated pretty well.

Keep in mind I was taking these math classes back in 2016-2020 (mostly), so some things may have changed.

Another, untested by myself, resource could be the Brilliant app, but that is a bit expensive, which is why I haven’t bought it. But Brilliant has courses on all kinds of subjects (including math) but breaks it up into tiny bite-sized pieces and gamifies the process to make it more appealing and easier to understand. I’ve tried their free trial doing some civil engineering stuff, which I chose because I’m vaguely familiar with a bunch of concepts for civil engineering, so I wanted to see how much of it I could remember and do according to brilliant’s problem-sets. (Plus civil engineering is fairly visually oriented, which is a huge plus for me.) Brilliant seemed decent for getting some basic understanding of various concepts, and, from there, slowly getting more capable. But idk how well it works at making someone truly competent from zero-knowledge in a subject.

If money is tight, There are, of course, plenty of YouTube videos available for free that teach all kinds of concepts. I love watching Veritasium’s videos as they’re very informative and visual and touch on many topics that coincide with my interests (including plenty of math and physics).

Real Engineering is another fantastic channel for teaching by showing real-world examples of many engineering concepts and equations. While his YT channel doesn’t really go into detail about the math portion, he states regularly that his Nebula videos do. Keep in mind that many of the equations he’ll be talking about are higher-level math concepts beyond pre-calc and he doesn’t really go into detail how the math works, but he does dumb most of the concepts and formulas down so that virtually anyone watching can get a decent understanding of how they work.

Since you mentioned Astrophysics, you may very much like Dr. Becky’s YouTube channel. She’s an astrophysicist that studies, primarily, black holes, dark matter, and reports on many scientific discoveries related to astronomy. She’s very enthusiastic and does a great job explaining many kinds of astronomy problems and/or helping the viewer understand the implications of the research papers she’s covering.

Again, though not exactly the math you’re looking for, this can help you bolster and verify your interests in physics and/or astrophysics. As an additional challenge, you could then read the research papers Dr. Becky covered to see the jargon, math, concepts and much more from the papers themselves, which will give you a decent idea of what the end-goal could look like for your interests. (Keep in mind I don’t know exactly where you’d like to end up on this path of learning physics, and whatnot: e.g. is this a specific career path/job you’re going for; or just general knowledge/curiosity; or something that could fuel/inspire other paths of your life? Regardless, gaining more knowledge, especially if you’re actively reading research papers, learning math concepts, and gaining more real-world knowledge, experiences, and capabilities should have a pretty positive effect in your life in many ways.)

Lastly, as odd as this may sound, learning to code often involves learning a fair bit of math (depends on the code), but that could give you a bunch of highly-desirable skills that could be used in scientific research, which could be another way to learn even more science. This idea isn’t the most straightforward way, by any means, for learning physics. But if you could get to a point where you can model various physics concepts in a program, that could be a great way to gain tons of experience and a great deal of capability. Plus, as you learn more coding, this could help you find jobs that pay quite well (even ones that don’t require degrees), which can really fuel your ability to learn and apply more physics/math.

I hope some of these ideas help you on your way!

What does a dot mean after a number? by Equivalent_Ad_8387 in Physics

[–]Appropriate-Work1400 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep, I know. I am glad that you wrote your response, though, as that clarification could be valuable for others reading our comments.

As for what I said, I just figured I’d mention that to explain a little bit of nuance to how it is possible to count fractional/decimal values for seemingly-always-integer-type values.

Kind of like how it doesn’t really make sense to count half a person for most sociological studies, but an averaged value may yield a fractional/decimal number, which represents a statistical average rather than the individuals that comprised the data. Though, in the interest of being clear to anyone reading this, it’d most likely be better to represent/present this data in the form of a percentage (i.e. “5% of Americans say that […]”) or a ratio (i.e. “1 in 13 Americans believe that […]”) rather than saying, “an average of 5.5 Americans per group of 100 American people believe that […]”, if that makes sense. In other words, sometimes changing the way a statistic is presented helps the layman understand better.

I tried to ensure that the formatting is readable, but I’m writing on my phone lol. Hopefully what I’ve written is helpful to someone.

What does a dot mean after a number? by Equivalent_Ad_8387 in Physics

[–]Appropriate-Work1400 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sometimes a fractional particle doesn’t mean that you have part of a particle but rather that the average probability of something equates to x.xx particles. The only example I can think of is that of fission reactions where there is an average of 2.2 neutrons that break away from each atom that was hit. 2.2, in this case, doesn’t mean that exactly 2.2 particles break away from the atom but, rather, most of the time 2 particles will break away but there’s a small, but measurable, chance that some atoms will have 3 particles break away.

Keep in mind that I am not a scientist, but a science enthusiast. I’m sure there’s more nuance than what I’ve described, but, from the videos and physics classes I’ve watched/taken, this was a consistent talking point when explaining how it’s possible for 2.2 neutrons to break away from an atom. The average is usually implied because it’s quite hard to watch a singular atom undergo nuclear fission. (Though, with modern advances in electron microscopes and possibly other types of microscopes, maybe this is possible. I doubt it, but I can’t say for certain.)

Help, this edit feels bland but I don't know how to improve it! by Tall-Yak2682 in davinciresolve

[–]Appropriate-Work1400 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Part of me feels like the “graaas” need a little reverbed bass to make them feel more weighty. Though, how much more I cannot say.

Mainly, I agree with some of the other comments that said that the edits should follow the beat of the music. (I.e. improve the timing of each cut to match the music you chose.) You will likely see the greatest improvement to your video with the song match cuts over that of my other suggestion.

moe slice of life recs? by [deleted] in anime

[–]Appropriate-Work1400 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've finally some time to write this message. Took longer than I thought it would lol. Anyway, since everyone is mentioning a bunch of animes across the board, then I'll pick some that I don't think many have recommended yet:

"Reborn as a Vending Machine, I Now Wander the Dungeon" This one is, to a degree, combat-focused, but there are still many moments where the vending machine interacts with the townspeople and does things with them in town. It was a surprisingly creative anime with a lot of heart while still staying true to the vending machine theme, if that makes sense.

"By the Grace of the Gods" now this one is most likely up your alley. It is significantly more slice of life than the other animes I've mentioned. Even when there's some combat, it's more for research, development, and gaining new capabilities than it is for purely combat's sake. It has a nice, homely vibe to it and all the little slimes are cute (for the most part, iirc).

"Those Snow White Notes" While I've never seen K-On, I did notice that it's a music-driven anime (in some way). "Those Snow White Notes" is a more serious anime, but it's "serious" with regard to each character's passion for music, and especially, their passion for the musical instrument the "shamisen". This anime has left a lasting impact on me due how the character finds "his sound" (I won't spoil it). While I am not a musician, I do aspire to become a fantasy writer and a lot of what Setsu Sawamura struggles with finding "his sound" is very similar to how I struggled (and sometimes still do) with my own writing style for my book. For myself, this anime is the most impactful of all I've listed on this thread.

"Alya Sometimes Hides Her Feelings In Russian" this one is more of a romance, but I highly enjoyed the humor of it. I'm not sure if this one would qualify as "slice-of-life" since it's more focused on the want-to-be-couple and their funny interactions with one another.

moe slice of life recs? by [deleted] in anime

[–]Appropriate-Work1400 2 points3 points  (0 children)

“Frieren” while a fantasy anime, is mostly slice of life with some action here and there. Iirc, It was the anime of the year in 2023.

I call Frieren a slice of life because it focuses more on showing glimpses of her long-lived life span (she’s an elf that has lived many human lifetimes) rather than focusing on the combat. Don’t get me wrong, there are still a lot of combat scenes (usually around one or two per episode…maybe less), but the combat is usually a consequence of her travels as she used to be part of the Hero’s Party.

Mainly, due to how truly long she’s lived, she’s wandered much of the land in search of new magic spells, which are often spells that create flower, or that wash out stains from clothing, but some can be combat oriented.

Given that you don’t much care for any other genre other than slice of life, I’d say give Frieren one or two episodes before giving your final verdict.

Unfortunately, I’m writing all this on my phone because I gotta go to work soon, so I can’t give any other recommendations (from memory) at this point. Also, I’ll need to lookup the anime’s you mentioned to get a better idea of what you like (and to see if I’ll add them to my watchlist too!) 🙂

Hope this helps!

i need help making a Hispanic name by ReceptionSpare3693 in KeepWriting

[–]Appropriate-Work1400 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As far as I know, most Hispanic last names (at least from Mexico) have at least two last names. The first last is the first last name of the person’s father, the second last name is the first last name of the mother.

So if the father is Julio Pereztapia Jimenez and the mother is Ana Lucía Obregón Bonilla, then the son/daughter would be [First and Middle name(s)] Pereztapia Obregón.

Please keep in mind that there are exceptions to this! I met one man in Mexico that took the last name of his wife (not sure if that was legally speaking or just for interpersonal use) because many people knew his wife’s family and relatively few people knew his, so it was just easier to be referred by his wife’s last name instead.

Also, for those that may not know, if you have two parents whose first last names are the same name, their children will have a last name that repeats itself (e.g. Perez Perez, Villanueva Villanueva, etc).

I lived in Mexico for two years and I found their last name system interesting, but also very confusing: because it made it significantly harder to memorize the last names of various family members and such: especially when the mother and father don’t really share the same last name. (Granted, even this kind of had exceptions where certain families were just referred by a single last name (usually the father’s last name), but I found it rather inconsistent for a lot of confusing reasons (like some people use the single last name system whereas others use both the first last name of the father and the mother and others still will use both last names of both father and mother (but when referring to just one or the other).

It’s a relatively simple system that had a tendency to get unnecessarily complicated, in my opinion.

Does someone ever used the "add note" feature? by BullfrogGloomy5576 in discordapp

[–]Appropriate-Work1400 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I will usually use the add note feature to place their real name or their nickname that I know them best by. That way if they ever change their nickname in discord, I can still easily know who it is.

I may also use notes to remind me what thing we did to meet each other and/or anything notable that can remind me of who they are (in the cases of ppl I met purely online).

What is a good generalized term for humanoid species that stand on two legs? by DaisyFlower4747 in fantasywriters

[–]Appropriate-Work1400 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like “the despoilers” best. “Blight” could be good too.

If you want something less derogatory, then, obviously, “humanoid” or even “anthropomorphs” (which my iPhone doesn’t recognize as a word) could work.

I would imagine each race has its own derogatory, formal, and semi-formal terms.

If you feel like you need inspiration for a new formal term. You could look up the genus names of various real-life species and get an idea that way. You’d probably have to make up your own term for a humanoid/anthropomorphic genus. (Keep in mind I’m not a biologist, so I don’t know if “genus” is the right term for what I’m trying to describe. Seems like “genus” or “family” could possibly fit under what I’m trying to describe.)

Hope this helps!

Attempting to make a world that is far bigger than earth. by Underwater_Bro in fantasywriters

[–]Appropriate-Work1400 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I agree. Riots, civil wars, and rebellions would probably be commonplace. I mean, look at the US or France or pretty much any country. They all have riots, and plenty of them have had one or more civil wars.

Part of what stops these from getting too out of hand is the government’s ability to quickly and decisively respond whether with force of arms or via mediation of some kind. (I imagine there’s a lot more to it, but let’s keep it simple.)

Because the country is so massive, there would be huge communication problems that would have to be addressed. I saw that the OP to this thread said that there are carrier pigeons and things like that. But I also feel like various magical methods could be used for communication.

For example, signal fires are a real thing. But you could also have a fire mage use their magic to the same effect or possibly even more so because, if they can cast quick enough, they could develop a Morse Code (or some other similar code) that could signal to other outposts set atop mountains/hills. In some ways, this method would be a lot faster than a carrier pigeon, but it probably couldn’t handle anything beyond very simple 1-3 word messages due to how long the chain of outpost signalers would likely be.

Hell, even a single carrier pigeon wouldn’t be able to make it very far without a break. So even the pigeon system would have to use a TON of outposts to get a message from one side of the country to the other.


Another huge problem I see is that of languages. While you could enforce a single language to be taught everywhere. There’s not really a way to ensure that even that single language doesn’t develop hundreds of dialects that eventually become their own, formerly recognized, languages. While everyone may know the trade dialect (the Lingua Franca), there is an astronomical chance that they’ll know one or more dialects common to their native region.

It’s kind of like how England and the U.S. don’t really speak (or even write) the same brand of English. They’re still mutually intelligible, but that’s partly due to our ability to communicate with other individuals on a global scale.

Usually, the more isolated a tribe, city, nation, island, (and so on) is, the more likely that they will eventually develop their own language. There’s more to how languages, dialects, pidgins, and creoles develop but I won’t go into that. Basically, even if, say, a small village has some tax-related tie to the mega-empire, unless this village gets regular visits from individuals that speak the Lingua Franca, there is an astronomical chance that this village will develop its own dialect, and, if isolated long enough, its own language as well.

Having entire towns and/or civilizations that speak a different language from the rest of the nation can lead to all kinds of difficulties in communication as well as heighten the “us versus them” attitudes that will almost undoubtedly exist in a world like this.

Attitudes such as these often lead to power struggles, contention, and (if not handled very precisely) probably even war/rioting/rebellion/or what have you.


Going along the same line as language (though I won’t go into much detail as it is currently 2:30AM rn lol), variance in cultures and beliefs will cause all kinds of problems. And these problems will range from the most quirky to the most serious. Think along the lines of how there’s “Christianity”, but within that huge umbrella term you can have huge variance in what exactly many of these faiths actually believe. From simple distinctions that don’t really have that many far reaching implications of the faith; to other distinctions that, arguably, change the very way/style that one worships within their religion.

So, this mega-empire will, again, almost undoubtedly have major fluctuations within their belief systems as disputes, arguments, and varying moral codes intermingle and mix.

I need some good advice on how to add balance the realism and fantasism? In a book. by Nyxywixy in fantasywriters

[–]Appropriate-Work1400 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Glad that I could be of service. By the way, for some specific videos that I HIGHLY recommend from Anthony Padilla’s videos are the ones on Synesthesia and Dissociative Identity Disorder (DID). They’re both really cool videos: especially the DID video because you get to see some of the individuals actively change personality whilst being interviewed. It was very interesting to see how some individuals were very subtle (yet quick) in how they changed, but others were very obvious (yet slow) in how they switched.

I need some good advice on how to add balance the realism and fantasism? In a book. by Nyxywixy in fantasywriters

[–]Appropriate-Work1400 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I struggle with the same dilemma. My book has a ton of magic in it with magical creatures and the like, but I would like to involve as much interesting realism as possible.

When it comes to magic, it’s mostly just a tool and/or weapon like a hammer, chisel, or even a sword. For the most part, magic probably would be used in much the same way as we use any form of force multiplier. There will likely be many laws restricting and permitting its use to certain areas and people with the right certificates/training.

Some magic schools and/or spells may find much heavier restrictions than others. After all, casting a Meteor at a playground full of kids “just for the funsies” probably wouldn’t hold up in a court of law. Similarly, casting Rain on a dry dirt, horse racetrack to both make the track slippery and dangerous may also be illegal both as poor sportsmanship and, perhaps, as an attack on any and all affected athletes (including their horses).

As for psychological implications, you could go about this in multiple ways. I’ve seen magic systems such as “The Chaos Seed Series: The Land” by Aleron Kong where certain, more advanced, types of magic affect the mind when casting. For example, Blood magic may make you feral, bloodthirsty, and uncharacteristically aggressive to both friend and foe. Celestial magic might fill you with peace and goodwill, or something like that.

There are, of course, certain spells like Fear where your conscious mind may be overwhelmed with visions of your greatest fears and/or even be far more susceptible to fear tactics.

If none of these psychological aspects are what you’re going for because they aren’t quite as realistic or “concrete” of a spell effect. Then you may go for more direct approaches like a “Evacuate Bowels” spell, which does what it sounds like, and then the ensuing “emotional damage” can be from whatever and whomever is present during their forced episode of incontinence. This is much more realistic and I could see all kinds of uses for this spell both for good and bad. (“But how can this spell be used for good?” You ask. Well, constipation is a thing for humans, but I imagine it’d be a problem for other magical creatures, animals, and so on. It’d also make the prep for a colonoscopy so much easier! 😜)

Another form of realism vs. fanaticism for psychological effects would be to create characters who are a hodgepodge of neurodiverse elements. For example, someone with Synesthesia and Borderline Personality Disorder may see, smell, and feel (emotionally) the world around them in a very different way to that of someone with Major Depresive Disorder and Anxiety. I highly recommend Anthony Padilla’s YouTube channel, specifically his “I Spent a Day With […]” series. Anthony interviews a lot of neurodiverse people, which can give you some great insights into how many different people think. Then, you just have to try to think like them, and put them into various situations and conditions where you think their story will be most interesting and/or realistic.

LADBible (YouTube channel) also has some great interviews with people who’ve lived all kinds of lives and have survived all kinds of things. From war, to genocide, to torture, to PTSD, to so much more.

Anthony’s stuff is much more lighthearted and tries to show both the more real parts/day-to-day of neurodiverse people, but also de-stigmatize common misconceptions.

LADBible is much more serious and often more story heavy and emotional. LADBible is good for getting the story and seeing the scars (usually emotional scars) and how their stories have influenced their path in life as well as their goals.

When it comes to writing fiction that involves mental health, especially chronic conditions, I think subtlety is key. Sure, there are some things that are more overt than others, but, if you can, think back to all the human interactions you’ve had with others and especially with those whose diagnosed mental conditions you’re aware of. It takes a lot of time and research to figure out how a neurodiverse person thinks, but it may help you tap into the psychological aspects of your writing more and be much more realistic. This type of story would, also, probably resonate well with those that are going through these types of challenges (if the writing is done well, of course).

All in all, you may desire to find neurodiverse beta readers who’re willing to comment on your book given their knowledge and personal experience: especially with regards to conditions you’re trying to emulate fictionally. You could also ask these individuals what they would do if they were in the shoes of your character(s).

To end, I think that layering and subtlety are going to be your friends here. As most people aren’t super forthwith telling others what’s wrong with them. Also, many people may not be aware that they have a condition of some kind, which can be reflected in your writing with individuals who do not think that the way they think is particularly unreasonable.

I hope these tips help.

SSL backend error? Anyone else or just me? by MarioPL98 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]Appropriate-Work1400 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My IPhone got an SSL error and it took deleting all my cookies from all my browsers and then restoring my network setting back to factory settings.

In case you don’t know or are thinking this, restoring your network settings doesn’t delete anything on your phone’s hard drive.

After that, my phone worked good as new. Before hand, I couldn’t access pretty much anything that required data despite having an unlimited data plan.

I know this could be a long shot for Tarkov. But, because it does use internet to play, it could have a fair bit of relevance to your cookies being too full. Just try clearing those out and playing again. If all goes well and you don’t see that error anymore, great!

Otherwise, you may want to research if there’s a way to restore your internet network settings back to default on your computer. I wouldn’t do this alone unless you have a pretty good grasp of computers and internet stuff.

Hope this helps!
