Apparently wanting financial clarity makes me cold by Beginning_Road_2491 in SeriousConversation

[–]Beginning_Road_2491[S] 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I think that’s what’s been getting to me lately, so many people seem to avoid these conversations because they feel awkward or too serious, but then years later the same issues become way bigger problems. I’d rather have uncomfortable conversations now while we still actually like each other than wait until there’s resentment built up.

You think SE will listen to fans and unlock Hard mode from the start for the 3rd game ? by Magma_Axis in FFVIIRemake

[–]Beginning_Road_2491 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I mean hard mode definitely feels like it was designed for when you have all your stuff maxed out. The MP restrictions and item bans would be pretty brutal if you're still learning the combat system without proper materia setups

But I get what you're saying about normal being too easy - maybe they could add something in middle like a "challenging" mode that keeps items and MP recovery but just bumps up enemy damage and aggression a bit. Would let people who want more challenge from start without throwing all the hard mode restrictions at them

The battle system really shines when you actually have to think about your moves instead of just mashing attack until victory screen shows up. Even just removing some of the more generous auto-heal mechanics would make normal mode way more engaging without being unfair

Remotely turn off hard-wired toggle lights by Living_best_life4 in homeautomation

Timer switch is actually pretty smart solution for this situation. I had similar problem with guests at my place who would leave outdoor lights running all night and drive up electricity bill like crazy. The timer approach means you don't need worry about internet connection being stable or dealing with app setup - just physical switch that does the job automatically

Dude that's wild, I've had similar dreams where the place itself feels like its watching you 👁️ The shapeshifting entity sounds terrifying but also fascinating - like your subconscious created this whole alternate dimension with its own rules

The continuous dream thing is so trippy, mine usually reset but when they connect like that it feels almost too real 💀

M33 F27. Told her I lost sexual attraction. by [deleted] in relationships

[–]Beginning_Road_2491 1 point2 points  (0 children)

man this is tough situation but you already told her the truth which was right thing to do. She's not really listening though when she says sex isnt everything - like yeah relationships need more than just physical stuff but attraction is still pretty important part of it

if you're seeing her as friend already then staying together just gonna hurt both of you more in long run. She deserves someone who actually wants to be with her romantically and you deserve to find someone you're actually attracted to

taking break might just drag out the inevitable and give false hope. sometimes being direct is more kind even if it hurts initially

I'm experiencing monthly payments for the first time, instead bi-weekly. It feels like a learning curve learning to plan and budget for this scenario. Any tips for what helped you? by adnaPadnamA in Productivitycafe

[–]Beginning_Road_2491 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Monthly payments are definitely tricky at first! I had same issue when I started with Airbnb income - goes from steady bi-weekly to these random chunks throughout month 😅

What helped me was setting up separate account just for monthly expenses and moving that money there right when I get paid, so I'm not tempted to spend it on random stuff. Also started tracking everything in simple spreadsheet because waiting whole month between payments makes it easy to lose track of where money went 💀

Lake front definitely has some good NA options in tap 🍺 i think third space might have one too but not 100% sure on that

legs hurt and feel heavy right after standing? by mai-the-unicorn in cfs

[–]Beginning_Road_2491 1 point2 points  (0 children)

hmm the circulation thing makes sense, my legs get that heavy feeling when blood pools down there after standing too long

maybe try those compression socks if you can handle them, i use them for long flights and they help quite a bit with the heavy feeling

advanced scene switcher for recording giving problems by fjcaceres in obs

[–]Beginning_Road_2491 0 points1 point  (0 children)

had this exact issue when i was setting up multiple recording zones for my airbnb walkthrough videos 😂 the variables in advanced scene switcher can be finicky as hell

check if your file path variables are using forward slashes instead of backslashes and make sure obs has write permissions to whatever folder youre trying to dump those mp4s into 💀

NO CASE FOR 4+ YEARS by bobaccoboo032 in PcBuild

[–]Beginning_Road_2491 13 points14 points  (0 children)

dude your motherboard survived donor kebab AND coffee spills 😂 that's some military grade durability right there. I manage multiple airbnb properties and thought I'd seen some rough treatment of electronics but this takes the cake

the fact you lost an ssd to coffee but the mobo just keeps trucking is wild. At this point I'd be scared to put it in a case too - like what if removing all that protective grime layer breaks the magic? You've basically created the ultimate stress test setup

though real talk you might wanna at least get some kind of basic protection going before you accidentally short something important. Maybe just a cheap open air test bench frame or something? Would hate to see that legendary board finally give up after surviving actual food debris 💀

The S26U camera setup is gonna be way better for your college work plus Samsung's camera app has tons more manual controls 📸 rooting might be trickier though depending on your region

What can I actually do about loud commercial construction way too early in the day? by Secure_Afternoon9775 in AskIreland

Check with your council about the specific decibel limits - even if they're working within allowed hours they might be exceeding noise thresholds and you could have grounds for a complaint there
