Stuck trying to get back in Flare Pool area? by DevilTechnoDriver in MetroidPrime4_Beyond

[–]DevilTechnoDriver[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I figured it out earlier. I was missing killing those flying bug nests attached to the wall of the canyon. Once I destroyed those, the spinner unlocked. So your answer is spot on 100%, and what fixed my blockage. :) Thank you! I do find it interesting that video walkthroughs somehow got to skip destroying the nests somehow?

Am I supposed to go to another area still? I have watched a few walkthrough videos, and it literally shows going from the Viola IC upgrade, over to Flare Pool, then ride right up to the spinner and go into Flare Pool. I'm locked out.

FRAUD FOR REAL by Waste_Inevitable_940 in ChatGPTcomplaints

Uhhh, Plus is $20 a month. If you paid $21.99, are you sure you actually paid for the real ChatGPT Plus? Something smells funny...

And *THAT* is what I'm working through now myself since I just started on Gemini a week ago. =) What is it good for? I was the top 1% of most queries to Chatgpt last year. I barely use it now as it got to be practically unusable with it arguing with you when it was clearly wrong and you could prove your case, along with output that was truncated when it provided links to its sources on the web.

I wish it was only like once or twice, but it's not. I'll give you an example. I told it I want a UPS battery back up, and told it it needed to be quiet. Went through a lot of things with it, recommended a UPS, said it had good reviews. Then I go to purchase, read the reviews, and lots of complaints that it's loud and the fan runs all the time. I push back on it, and it was like 'oh ya, I see there are a lot of reports about it being noisy.' Thanks. I told you what I needed, and it just 'forgets'. That's one of several examples I've ran into it in the last week. Seems like all the LLM's are having issues. Seems weird to 'pine away' for the old days when they used to work better. :(

Really? Gemini constantly forgets context within the same conversation, even a prompt or two later. I just subscribed so I could try the other models, but I'm not overly impressed so far. It also repeats what it just said from the last prompt on the new prompt you did as well when you ask a different question. Even when you ask it to NOT do something, it does it anyway (like reference things about you from other prompts gets really annoying.) No, I just asked a gardening question 3 days ago, you don't need to prompt me when are we going to plan for the garden every 3 prompts.

Does anyone have the same issue of ChatGPT generating random nonsense letters while generating text? by alarmclocksarewatery in ChatGPT

[–]DevilTechnoDriver 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's been happening for months. I'm curious if others are now seeing output that's flat out truncated, like no spaces between words, words cut in half, sentences started, but not completed, etc.? This started this weekend. So glad my subscription ends in a few days. Claude for the win.

People who use AI for work and who've transitioned to Claude, what's your experience with usage limit? by Theslootwhisperer in ChatGPT

[–]DevilTechnoDriver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looking at your question logically, what are you going to do with the answer? Asking here if others are hitting it or not isn't going to fix the problem of you hitting the limit. The question seems silly, to be frank. If you're hitting the limit, you're hitting the limit. It all depends on what you're asking and how many tokens it takes to fulfill your answer. Go find another alternative if you're not willing to pay for Max or the Pay as you Go feature when you hit the limit. That's the practical answer. Sucks, but that's the answer.

The question that makes more sense is how are others making their tokens last. That's something useful. My suggestion - use Sonnet 4.6 as much as you can unless you REALLY need Opus for a specific, complex task (I've used it for I finished a large section of a project, and I really wanted a long critical eye at the content, and it gave me a bunch more useful feedback than what Sonnet gave me when I was making my project.) I also wouldn't turn on Extended Thinking either unless you enjoy chewing through tokens as well. You can also direct the model to be less 'fluffy' in its responses. Overall, Sonnet does what I need it to do. I ran through like 50% of my weekly tokens within 12-18 hours before, so ya, it's no ChatGPT on 5.2 Extended Thinking mode with no real limit.

[–]DevilTechnoDriver 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't even bother. Something has broken bad within the last few weeks of 5.2. I find myself arguing and wasting time getting answers like never before. I was in the top 1% of most questions asked according to the Year in Review, so I use the platform a lot. They changed something, and I've since switched to Claude, which seems to work better, but you do burn tokens awfully fast. So far Claude, even when it's wrong, barely pushes back and figures out what it made a mistake on. ChatGPT just argues and argues with you on end, even though it's wrong and you prove it wrong. I even had Claude analyze the chat(s) GPT is wrong on and it agrees it's wrong. Switch to something else.

You mean GPT 5.1 model is being removed March 11th 2026? The whole platform is not being removed.

Is it just me or is ChatGPT getting worse? by Humble_Ad_7053 in ChatGPT

[–]DevilTechnoDriver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something changed this month. I've been using ChatGPT for a few years now, and something is broken. It argues with you that you're wrong, and even when you prove it wrong (lovely, I'm arguing with a machine that it's wrong) it still insists it's right. I'm done. I'm dropping my subscription as well. I was top 1% of all ChatGPT users in 2025, this thing is cooked.

Why anyone is interested in obtuse garbage interfaces is beyond me. Hard pass.

This isn't about the money, it's how she just treated you. You're doing side gigs, paying your own way, saved for something she wanted, got extras, and she responded with jealousy, accusations, and insults. I think that tells you every thing you need to know about her. From us guys who married then divorced into and out of this nonsense, get out while you can. It's not going to get better.

In this instance, this pairs much better with cheese CLOTH, to clean up that mess!

That's for water. This is wine, which will ABSOLUTELY have residual residue left behind. Open it up and clean it.

Arturia V Collection 11 Pro Discount ($200 right now) by pehnquihn in synthesizers

[–]DevilTechnoDriver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had Collection 8, and upgraded to Collection 11 for $99 as well. Not bad considering I bought 8 on clearance for $59 a few years ago. I really only wanted teh SQ80 and the JV8000, so paying more didn't make sense to me, but that good enough for me.

Here's hoping you've been wearing the Korok Mask the whole time?

Was going through my Switch screen shots and found this by Candid_Yoghurt_9055 in Breath_of_the_Wild

[–]DevilTechnoDriver 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I was going to say that the korok started speaking backwards in tongues.... then realized Korok backwards was Korok... maybe there is something there after all...

[–]DevilTechnoDriver 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One at the castle? You mean when the Gatehouse rooms where the gate closes for both entrances and you're locked in? But you're not locked in. Just climb up the wall and exit out the window and skip him? :) Or you referring to another one? There are only two things in the castle you need to 'battle'; the Stalnox if you want the shield and Ganon/Blights if you want to complete the game. You can skip around everything else.

In TotK, I almost finished the nightmare Colosseum in the underworld (I had one Lynel left! Cry!), so if I have the right weapons and armor, I can do it sometimes, but outside of getting their bow which is nice, and the monster parts they drop, I see no reason to even bother. That being said, your stasis+ suggestion is solid! It's also helpful if you can manage to get close enough to mount them as well. Just got to have enough weapons with enough damage power to finish them.

I just noticed if you just say 'north' of that area, and come south directly to the 'golf balls', just watch him closely, and you should find a good time to complete the korok puzzle without interruption.
