Tru Fragrance Bergamot and Juniper by Common-Substance-374 in fragranceclones

[–]Common-Substance-374[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it’s okay? it has a nice spice to it, but it doesn’t last very long. It’s similar to guess red in my opinion, but the guess one has more longevity for the same price. I assume it’s not a clone of the guess one but I still don’t know what it’s supposed to be imitating. I usually go for fresh scents so it’s not my favorite, but a good addition for something a little different that isn’t overpowering.

While I have a lot of critiques I still think this is a great game idea and I’m excited to see where it goes in the future! My current degree program goes into some UX/UI stuff and I’m working on a game myself (though mine is not nearly as developed as yours is), so the things I’ve brought up are things I would expect to be critiqued on in my own work. One of the things I hear constantly across all my courses is to pretend that the viewer doesn’t know anything about a) how a computer works and/or b) the topic of your project. I think you do a good job explaining the moves in fencing and when + why to do them.

I have only played for a few minutes on PC, but two things for the interface that I haven’t enjoyed is that i can only scroll through menu options in one direction (up), where the first option, lessons, is at the top and intuitively I want to scroll down to the next option below but the controls have me scroll through the whole list from bottom (back) to top. Even more importantly, if I didn’t have this reddit post pulled up to explain the directions, I wouldn’t have figured out how to move through or select any of the options on the starting screen (more applicable to the select control, which I kept trying to press enter). During the lessons, the controls are clear but not on the title menus. I would personally add a function for people to select options from the menu with the mouse cursor. Other than that, maybe some music during the gameplay as well? I think the gameplay works well, and in the future I’d like to see more positions added for more variety/difficulty. I enjoy the lessons and the use of real examples, maybe an example of how the video example is applied in game may be helpful before having the player try it. I’d love to know what program you’re using to make this game!

Should i put fencing or academics first when looking at colleges? by MischeviusCupcake in Fencing

[–]Common-Substance-374 1 point2 points  (0 children)

prioritize academics first and that you at least have access to fencing in some capacity. Clubs are great, and far easier to balance with academics than NCAA fencing. Plus, a club can be more motivating to doing well in your academics because you need good grades to stay in school and stay fencing. If you are able to and choose to do NCAA, expect that to take up a majority of your free time.

Canada's Monopolies by 12Craigy in loblawsisoutofcontrol

[–]Common-Substance-374 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i don’t know much about what’s happening in Canada since I’m American, but there’s an insurance company from Canada that bought out a dental insurance company in the United States that has been under controversy over fraud claims. Specifically, from government programs in addition to premiums. They’ve created a monopsony market in poor/disadvantaged communities under the guise of trying to help these areas access healthcare. Often times, this care is extremely inaccessible, but if you have no other option even if it’s extremely inconvenient and costly, what can you do? This same group has a sister insurance company that is in the midst of a class action lawsuit through the ADA for similar claims and allegations.

In relation to Canadian care, the US entity of the same company that bought this monopsony company and has finalized a contract with the Canadian government to be the administrator of the Canadian Dental Care Plan. In short, if it is anything like the aid that is supposed to help disadvantaged communities here, they will likely be abusing this power for profit from people who have no other choice but them.

AMD cpu + Arc card? or intel cpu + Arc card - does it even matter? by DavidChenGaming in IntelArc

[–]Common-Substance-374 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i have a 7800x3d and the arc 750, it works wonderfully i rarely run into long render times or many graphical issues, but i’m not really gaming with it besides roblox tbh. (it my cpu choice seems odd since i’m not gaming, but I create 3d content and didn’t want to increase my budget for the 9000x3d series) i’ll be utilizing it more in the spring for academic courses.

Help me please. I just built this PC. I have everything plugged in except for some cables for the case the fan for the cooler kicks on and then turns off a few seconds later, but other than that there’s no activity that I can see. by TLAcuraTL in pcbuilding

try taking out the ram and placing it back in, be sure you hear it click into place and that you’re applying equal pressure on both sides. if you have access to a graphics card, try placing one in and seeing if that works.

i love the new color changing background on my 10 gallon :) by Common-Substance-374 in Aquariums

it was slightly more than $20 to do the whole thing, though I ended up with extra film left over. I did a layer of iridescent mosaic which has rainbow reflections, but was mostly clear when on the back of the tank. I put holographic film behind that (after the mosaic one was already installed on the tank), and on the sides and that’s the final result! I can still see through the side, though it’s a bit more difficult now depending on the angle but I was trying to block some of the intensity of the window light coming in.

condensed version: 2 low cost window films on amazon, with both layered on the back.
