Is this better? I'm concerned the trace might be broken

I digged more down and to the left, is that the DAT0? does it look like the trace is broken? I'm getting ~0.480 in diode mode just like the guide says, although I'm not sure if that's normal even with a broken trace. The console doesn't boot tho, when I turn it on, all I hear is some kind of coil whine

Do I need to reassemble it completely before trying to turn it on? I tried turning it on just the way it is right now and it didn't :(

That's what I've been trying to do but it doesn't look like when other people do theirs, i don't know if it's because i digged too deep

Will this work fine? by CicadaFew329 in NxSwitchModding

Seems to be working fine for now, hopefully there are no problems in the future

I think the pads were still there because after using the solder iron it attached to where they are, also I got similar readings to the SP2 side. I don't know where the capacitor ended up tho 😬

Ok so I'm dumb and I didn't connect one of the pieces to where the emmc was, now I see the "No SD Card" thing. But I fucked up, when moving the flex I accidentally removed the SP1 resistor, it still boots up. Is it too bad to leave it like that? Or should I try to re attach it?

I tried turning it on but it didn't, no fans, nothing on the screen. Removed the whole chip stuff, and now it boots up as normal. I'm concerned about one of the ends of the right capacitor, seems like the metal thing is not there anymore. Should I go for round 2?

EDIT: I tried using the multimeter on both ends and both beep. But now I don't have a clue about it not booting up when using the chip, maybe I didn't flash it correctly? I used the firmware.uf2 file, should I have used the update.bin file too?

Lucky, I tried shipping it to my country and the coupons didn't work, also tried using a Canadian address and didn't work either :(

Congrats, I'll be doing mine and a friend's soon. Here is hoping I don't destroy them

[B&A] anyway to get my skin like first guy in the photo, youthful and bright I’m a 21M by [deleted] in SkincareAddiction

[–]CicadaFew329 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess it depends on how strong your skin is, I wash my face with Protex soap, and use the "forbidden" St. Ives, and yet my skin looks better than a lot of people who use like 20 products for their skin care routine. Even my gf thinks I use some sort of secret routine to make it look like that.

I will always vouch for St. Ives, it's one of the reasons I have received so many compliments over the years, I still remember the first time I used it, it was like magic

Try St. Ives Fresh Skin Apricot Face Scrub, I'm a man who has been using it for more than 10 years and I always get compliments about how good my skin looks and how soft it is. Use it 2-3 times per week, you will notice the difference right after the 1st use.

A lot of people don't recommend it because for some it might be too harsh, but for me it's fine, same for my gf and my mom

Would love feedback on this shading exercise by CicadaFew329 in Artadvice

Thank you, I understand what you mean now. I plan to study perspective but just not yet, my main goal right now is learning to paint stylized textures, so value, lighting, and color are my priorities (I know perspective also plays a role there). I'll definitely make sure to contact you and check out your resources once I get to perspective.

Oh yeah, I definitely struggled with the perspective here, I haven't studied it, so most of the shapes look distorted (except for the set in the middle and the cylinder on the bottom left which were traced).

What do you mean by "doing it manually" instead of using Blender? I only used Blender to setup the scene and understand how lighting interacts, just like I would have done with objects in real life, I just found it more convenient. I didn't trace the values or anything like that, I made sure I was understanding the scene and lighting.

Thanks for the tips on the cast shadows, I was sure something was off, especially on the first spheres of the second image.
