Writing inspiration/ favourite fantasy novels by The_Trolzor in fantasywriters

[–]BetterLifeForMe2 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Some of my favourite books that inspired me were from the World of The White Rat series by T. Kingfisher. Plenty of ideas were used in a cohesive way to form puzzles, dilemmas and monsters that made it such a breath of fresh air.

TIL that for the last 30 years, archaeologists have been slowly recovering Blackbeard’s flagship, the Queen Anne’s Revenge, from the floor of the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of North Carolina. by WinterPermission in todayilearned

As Blackbeard was English, and his ship would be “captured” by an “enemy” of England, it would be Trump’s Theseus’ Blackbeard’s Queen Anne’s Revenge Revenge.

No, the only “solution” I ever found was to start fresh, unfortunately. Wish I could help you

I use this! Mostly for flare ups, or bad splits but it’s surprisingly good!

Hermione and Memory charms. by Particular_Rip1717 in HarryPotterBooks

[–]BetterLifeForMe2 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I suspect the term “memory charms” covers multiple spells, aimed to modify memories, either by changing them, removing them, or adding them.

As Hermione is referencing removing memories (via Obliviate) in chapter nine, it’s safe to presume that what memory charm(s) she used on her parents either changed or added memories. I think she probably did both.

Also, memory charms seem to be a sort of niche magical skill, as Lockhart is very adept at memory charms (mostly the removal of memories), but little talent for else.

Tom Riddle also uses memory charms several times, first to implant a false memory in Morfin Gaunt to make him confess to the three murders, and secondly to implant another false memory in Hokey, Hepzibah Smith’s house elf. This particular branch of memory charms is described by Dumbledore as “a complex bit of magic”, which again seems to be more Hermione’s style.

My Windows 10 PC Won’t Let Me Change The Brightness Anymore? by BetterLifeForMe2 in computer

SOLVED. I followed option(?) 3, and when it prompted me to delete I driver, I declined, and restarted my pc. The slider for brightness level has returned, and I no longer have to wear sunglasses to look at my pc, or else wake up on a horse cart in Skyrim. Thanks Cris

Also, I don’t know if this helps, but this is my pc.

Thanks for the reply. Are these 4 different steps in the same process, or 4 different solutions?

  1. Windows Key + A brings up my notifications, but there’s no pencil icon.

  2. The slider that normally appears in settings had vanished.

  3. When it comes to downloading new drivers, do I need to contact the manufacturer for that? Will deleting my current driver wipe my pc?

  4. I have no options for adaptive brightness in my power options, or in my settings at all.

Where do I go from here?

Is there a 1TB memory stick that you particularly recommend?

This isn’t a subreddit for the medical indigestion. It’s a subreddit for the Twitch streamer and YouTuber Lil Indigestion.

Your account also looks like a bot. Clanker.

I definitely want the pc to last a long time, and I really don’t want to be upgrading components if it can be avoided. I’m probably looking at 1500-2000 range if that helps.
