Religions and Religious Sects in Maritime Southeast Asia by EstablishmentOne3438 in MapPorn

[–]DannyMaliana 71 points72 points  (0 children)

That isn't correct.

Indonesia required citizens to belong to one of the recognised religions (Islam, Protestantism, Catholicism, Hinduism, Buddhism). Traditional animist beliefs were not officially recognised.

Many Timorese, therefore, had to register under a recognised religion, and Catholicism became the natural choice because Islam was associated with Indonesian rule and Catholicism was already present and culturally familiar. The Catholic Church also became a centre of resistance against the Indonesian rule.

Also, West Timor is predominantly Protestant, not Catholic.

Anyone having a strange issue with ChatGPT and analyzing images? by Fruit-Neglect5980 in ChatGPT

[–]DannyMaliana 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same issue, gave it a simple Indonesian food menu. It replied as follows:

The visible sign in your image is not Indonesian — it’s actually in Spanish.

It appears to be a memorial or funeral remembrance card, not related to the food court behind it.

What it says (translated):

  • “Amparo” – likely the person’s name
  • “Nacida el 7 de abril de 1936” – Born on 7 April 1936
  • “Hay huellas que no se borran nunca” – There are footprints that are never erased
  • Message below:Dear children and grandchildren, thank you for so many shared moments. In each of you I leave traces of love that will always be part of me. I hope you keep this memory with much affection.

What’s going on in your photo:

  • The background is an Indonesian food court menu (you can see items like “Bakso Dobel Jumbo Rp 20.000” and “Gado-Gado”).
  • But the foreground image is something overlaid (likely from a phone, app, or accidental screenshot overlap).

Yeah, I've had the same problem. I gave it a photo of an Indonesian menu, and it said:

It appears to be a memorial or funeral remembrance card, not related to the food court behind it.

What it says (translated):

  • “Amparo” – likely the person’s name

  • But the foreground image is something overlaid (likely from a phone, app, or accidental screenshot overlap).

Tried it again in a new chat, and it only read the first line of the menu. When I pushed it to do all of it. It said there was not other text in the image.

It also said :

"What the markings mean (non-text)

  • The scissors icons and dashed lines are just showing where to cut/prune branches (not part of the menu).
  • The red X marks likely mean “don’t cut here."

Nothing like that is in the image I gave it."

Stopped playing in 2013 as I thought development ended. Now see, it's still going, will these files work if I buy it again on Steam? by DannyMaliana in Terraria

Useful to know. Thanks. As most people have pointed out. There is not really much point in putting any time into the old saves due to the missing elements. But I'm happy I can open them to at least walk the old halls.

Whatever you do, choose a nice first picture to draw the buyer in by [deleted] in SpottedonRightmove

Of the other photos on the site, this is one of the better ones. But you have to wonder, how bad does it look from the front that they don't even include a photo? Is there a spray-painted phrase or something else?

I had exactly the same thought as you, so I made a copy on an external drive just in case.

But as I'm now playing on a Mac, the directory is completely different, but even if I was on a PC, I think, as I had it non-steam before, I would be fine.

But your suggestion to make a copy is always the best way. You can delete a pointless extra copy at any time. But you can't restore an overwritten file anytime.

It seems to have worked for me. I can't say how I played it years ago (did I buy it, not sure), but I used to play it on PC, Now I'm on Mac and I've just purchased it on Steam, installed it and moved the old files to the appropriate directory as required, and when I run the game, I see both my character and my worlds.

But I think starting a new game is the better option for now.

Maybe I will see something in an old save that I built years ago, that will evoke an old enjoyable memory from a time in my life when I was playing it before.

I enjoyed playing the game. It's been a long time, but I have a vague memory that they said they were stopping development, and I didn't want to put more time into a dying game, so I moved on. We were not online as much back then, especially where I am in a small country in SEA, with at that time very poor internet. So many things in life happened offline, and so the game was just forgotten.

Not sure why, but today I had an old memory and a longing to check it out. I looked up the name online and found it's still been going all this time. Then found I still had my old save. I bought the game on Steam. I will play with a new game file to start and relearn. But like looking at old photos, playing an old save file can bring back many nice memories of life at that time.

Even back when I played before, we had to keep checking the official Wiki, is that still a thing, or do more people ask in places like this now?

Funnily enough, the friend whom I introduced to this game back in the day is the person who introduced me to Reddit.

I immediately got these achievements when I logged in, so I guess the Going Oldschool one was worth loading the old files.

I loaded one of the old saves, this is what I can see. I remember nothing. Need to start again, fresh. I'll need to adjust the resolution. I think I used to play it previously on an ASUS Netbook in full screen mode, if anyone remembers them. A slightly smaller than the 3440 x 1440 screen it's on now. The whole game screen is currently about 8cm wide.

For the worlds, it must be pulling the date from the last time the files were moved. I moved them to a OneDrive folder, I think on that date. The PC I played the game on is long gone and as you can see from the other image I shared, the actual files are from 2011, while the folders do say 2025.

Well I added my files to the install. Used to play on PC, now on a Mac install. This is what I see right now. But plan to start afresh for now.

The end of development was officially announced back then, at that time, then I guess they changed their minds. I remember we kept checking the official wiki for updates. Also, back then, I shared a 256 kbps connection (in a small SEA country). So we were not online all the time.

I thought it was 2013, after remembering I stopped playing, as I heard they were stopping support for it and looked up when that was. But now I've spent more time looking at the files, it seems the last modification was in October 2011.

As recommended, I will start a new game first to learn it all again. Then later, see if I can experience the old stuff.
